the shock to the general system does not 
prove fatal; it brings on delirium in a 
slight degree, and great pain; but if the 
poison produce a local injury of sufficient 
extent, the patient also dies, while all 
slighter cases recover. The effect of the 
poison on the constitution is so imme-

is so great, that there is no opportunity 
of exhibiting medicines till it has fairly 
taken place, and then there is little

Three Airs for the Harp, with ad libitum Accom- 
paniments for the Piano-forte, and German 
Fluie. Composed and inscribed to Miss Rigby, 
by J. Mazzinghi. 75.64. ; 
HESE airs are not only conceived 
zs i with taste, but carry with them 
evident marks of those talents for which 
we have so long given Mr. Mazzinghi 
credit. The passages lie remarkably 
well for the hand: yet, though not difh- 
cult of execution, are productive of a 
strong and brilliant effect, and are at 
once calculated to engage the attention 
of the auditor, and show the performer 
The piano-forte accom- 
animent is ingeniously constructed, and 
“she bass and disposition of the whole, 
3s judicious and masterly. 
A Sonata for the Piano-forte. 
T. H. Builer, 38. 
Mr. Butler in this sonata, (many pas- 
sages of which are ingenious and novel, ) 
has with much happiness of effect intro- 
Composed by 
duced the fayourite air of “* Mary, I be-" 
liew’d thee true.” The introductory and 
concluding movements of the piece are 
conceived with energy, and conducted 
with taste, and the general result is 
worthy Mr. Batler’s well-known talents 
as a piano-forte composer. 7 
6° When Time who steals our Years quay; a 
feoourite Glee for three Voices, Composed for 
Mr. Page’s Festive Harmony, by J. W. Cal- 
cott. Mus, Doc. 38. 
_ . This glee, the words of which are from 
Little’s Poems, is set a la ballata. The 
air is ardent and wmellifiuent, the points, 
wherever introduced, well sustained, and 
the general construction of the harmony 
isgood. We however cannot say that 
we trace any of those striking and dis- 
tinguished features common to the pro- 
ductions of this ingenious master; nor 
js the combination unexceptionably the 
best that might have been adopted, 
°* Tes Petits Riens;?’ a Diveriisement. Dedicated 
to Miss Heathcote, by J.B. Cramer. 35+ 
Some pleasing and ingenious passages 
are scattered in this divertisement; but, 
we Cannot, in candour, say that we are 
particularly struck with the toué ensemble, 
It wants connection, and fails in vigour 
and brilliancy. ‘ 
A Parody on the Christian Doxology, by Mr. 
Pate, of Bury St. Edmond’s; and set to Music 
for three Voices by George Guest, Organist of 
‘Wisbech. 25. 5 
Mr. Guest has exhibited some fancy, 
and a tolerable degree of science, in. 
this parody. The melody is smooth and 
natural, and the combination is good. 
We are sorry we cannot be equally com- 
plimentary to Mr. Pate on his Parody of 
the Christian Doxology.

‘The melody of this little ballad is sim- 
ply elegant, and well expresses the sene 
timent of the poetry. Originality of 
idea is not, perhaps, one of its distin- 
guishing features; but the thoughts are 
just, and arise so naturally out of each 
other, as to produce an effect as striking 
as Interesting. Ab 
The Opera Hat; a favourite Dance, combosed 
_ and arranged as a familiar Rondo for the Piano- 
Sorte, also adapted for the Flute or Flageolet, 
‘by Je Parry, Editor of the Welsh Melodies. 
1s. 6d. i mt 
This dance, in the form Mr. Parry 
here presents it to the public, affords a 
pleasing exercise for juvenile practi- 
tioners on the instrument for which it 
is intended, and exhibits to advantage 
the author’s talent inthe production of 
useful trifles.
