A new musical work, on a new plan, called Vocal Antho- ,o-y, has just been completed in twelve part. It consists of a gelec- tion of rare and beautful compositions in vocal music, combined wilth much miscellaneous information respecting them, their com- pose-e, and the art itself--a species of knowledge, by thte way, ir wvhich musical " amnateurs" are deplormbly deficient. To the indo- lent student this work will possess the attraction of furnithing speci- mens in almost every variety of styic, without subjeccing hiim to the trouble of the research; while to the real enthusiast in the art, the same examples will serve as guides to the places where its real trea- surc-a are to be found. The work is well got up, and, what is rather an uncomrnmon praise, at a moderate expense.

In one of the streets of Paris, a society oi artists, some years rince, undertook, for the moderate charge of two louis, to de- liver a half-lengtih portrait, in crayons, of the ordinary size, neatly framed and glazed, S0 accurately engraved impressions of the same reduced to the nminiature size, and the copper-plate. The sitting- lasted only a few minutes, and the wh-le of the processes were com- pleted within the short space of two hours. CO NSrSTORAl. COURT OF EXETER.-GEACH v.
