Fear Enghsh Arictttas, Corps, with - 
Accompanirsent for the Harp or Piano-forte, 
£. Peelps. - 5s. 
~'Fhese ariettos are written ina smooth, 
smmple, and familiar, stvle, and‘ will not 
fail to please those who. are partial to 
natural, unaffected, and expressive me- 
ledy. The accompaniment, which, per. 
aps, altogether consists too much of the 
expeggio, is not without taste and mean- 
ye; uor does it add inconsiderably to 
the g general miterest of the compositions. 
Farce Sonatas, with six progressive Preludes 
for the Piano-forte. Composed and dedicated 
to Miss Louisa Dillon, by F. Fiorillo. 63. 
Mr. Fioriilo has, in the publication 
befere us, presented juvenile practioners 
on the instrument for which it 1s designed 
three attractive and improving exercises, 
‘Zhe passages are well disposed for the 
Inexperienced hand of the tyre, and an 
easy natural flow of ideas qualify the 
whole to gratify the general ear. 
“<f Sonata for the Piano-forte, with an Accompa- 
miment for the Fiute or Violin. Composedand 
éedicated to the Rev. C. Macarthy, by §. EF. 
Rimbaule. - 4S. : 
We find in this sonata considerable 
ingenuity. The melodial part of the

Report of Diseases. : 
[March 1, 
composition is easy, pleasant, and spirit. 
ed; and the bass and: accompaninent 
exhibit science and contrivance. -Par 
practitioners who, have nop arrived at 
the higher stazes of execution, Mr. 
Rimbault’s sonata will be found both 
agreeable and useful. — 
Tbe Shepherdess, a Rondo for the ‘Piano-farte* 
Composed by Julian Busby, Mas. siti. ‘Oxon, 
ox. 6d. 
The introduction to this rondo is oe 
pastoral, and the movemeng te which it 
leads is of that hght, airy, and fanciful 
cast which cannet but gratify the 
general ear. To ail those practitioners 
who have not advanced to the higher 
stages of execution, the Shepherdess will 
prove highly acceptable, as being not 
only agreeable to the ear, but proving 
to the ‘finger. 
Air Militaire and Polacca far the Pianc-forte. 
Composed by T. Hadgle. 3s. 
The first of the two movements com- 
prised in this publication is bold and 
nervid in its subject ; and the gecond is 
conceived with sprightliness aad taste. 
The passages, in both, are cannected 
and canfor: magle, aud hespeak i invention 
and a well- regulated imagiatjon.

A case of palsy has, this last month,

perance in intoxicating Lquors, but in 
business which requires a peculiar degree 
of accuracy and. laborious recollection. 
This is the second instance which the 
Reporter has been witness to, in which
