^ Mornmj^ and Evening Himt, at performed 

 in the Parip Church of IViJheach St. Peter, 

 on thefrjl Sunday in every AJontb. Set to 

 Mujlcy and dedicated to the Rev, Abraham 

 "Jobjon, by George Gueji, Is. 



This hymn is fet for two voices : tenor 

 and bafs, or treble and hafs. The me- 

 lody is fiinple and familiar, and the two 

 parts combine with good effetl. 

 Cupid among the Bachelors. Sung by Mr. Dig- 

 num, at Vauxhall Gardens. The jyhrds by 

 Mr. S. Button, the Mufic by I- Sanderj'on. Is. 



" Cupid among the Bachelors" is a 

 pleafani little fon>r. Euth words and 

 mufic are above mediocrity, and will not 

 fail to pleafe the irenerality of thofe who 

 are fond of ballad compofition. 



^ favourite Sloio Movement ; to nahich is add- 

 ed, •• H.i'daiva frae me, Donald :" a neio 

 Rondo for the Piano-Forte. Comfofed by T. 

 H. Butler. Is. 



The merit of this compofition is worthy 

 of Mr. Butler's character as a piano-forte 

 ci)m]jofer. It wi'l ':.; f lU'.id as ufeful as 

 pleating, and willjultify our commenda- 

 tion. 



Mary of the Lcwly Cot, Sung at Vauxbalt 

 Gardens, by Mr. Gibbon. Written by Mr. 

 Fox, compojed by Mr. Brooks. Xs. 



This is a fimple little ballad, the me- 

 lody of which, if not remarkable for its 

 orii;inality, is fmooth and pleafmg, and 

 perfettly adapted to the region for wliich 

 it was coinpofed. 



The Girl rf the Seafons, fung by Mrs. Bland at 

 Vauxhall Gardens. Written by Mr. E, But- 

 ton, the Mufic by I. Sanderfon. Is. 



The words of this ballad are prettily 

 turned, and do Mr. Button's miife much 

 credit. Mr. Sanderfon has given thein 

 an appropriate air j and the general ef- 

 fect is calculated to render " The Girl 

 of the Seafons," a favourite in Utile fo- 

 cial parties. 



Cherubini, of Vienna, has acquired 

 new £;lory by the compofition of an opera, 

 the wiirds in German, entitled Fanifk;i. 

 In this new c/ief d'oiivre, it is admitted 

 by all the comioifl'eurs, that the author of 

 Lodoilka has furpalVed all his preceding 

 performances. The managers of the 

 theatre prefeiited the receipts of tlie third 

 reprefentation to M. Cherubini.
