Creation" on the fifth night of the grand musical
festival. II one of the largest houses that ever
greeted the eXpectant eyes of a manager in this
city, Many turned away at the door for
want of room. and many inside the door lis
tened to the oratorio without the slightest posi-
bility of seeing the stage. The Creation" Is a
work which appeals irresistibly TO every mind
ceptible OF music for great subject treated
with more distnctness dramatic effect and com.
pleteness AS each work OF the Creator is announced
and described, the music, vocally aud nstrumentaly

The solosts last night were:-Madame Parepa- Rosa,
soprano; George Simpson, tenor and J. r. Thomas,
baritone. The latter gentleman eXcelled himself IN
the magnificent solo, "Roiling In Foaming Bows,"
especially in the finale. Softly Purling," which he
rendered with feeling and expression. Madame Rosa
sang II possible, better than we have ever heard her
In oratorio before. .'ln Verdure Clad,n "On Mighty
Pens, and the soprano part OF that Incompatible
duet, By Thee with Bliss" were gems worthy Of the
highest praise. Mr.. simpson sang 'ln Verdure

admirers. These are only grains OF gold among the
treasures that literally poured forth last night
The chorus was also better than usual II We except

OTTAWA, May 22, 1853.
The Dominion Parliament was prorogued to-day
until the lst OF July. The Governor General gave
the royal assent to all the bills passed during the
sion. In his speech his EXcelency hoped the acts
passed for remodeng the militia forces and securing
the defence OF the territory would accomplish the
objects desired He trusted that the measure adopted
for the regulation of the fiscal system would tend to
promote commercial enterprise and the stability OF
public credit. He congratulated the House on the
passage OF the acts by which the executive depart
ments had been organized and efficiently provided
for He regretted that the measures for assimlating
the criminal law Of the several provinces, submitted
to Parliament by his direction were not
returned for the sanction OF the Crown.
He thanked the members for the provision which
they had made for the public service and expressed
his qualification at the general prosperity which pre-
vailed throughout the Dominion.
1t is stated positively in well informed circles here
that Earl Mayo will be sent to Canada in July as the
successor TO Lord Monck.
