The first of three Numbers of a work, the design of which is well conceived, consists of Davy's admired little air of "Just like love" with such digressions and additions as were necessary to transform it into a piano-forte rondo. The second Number presents us with “Zitti, Zitte,” in the Opera of "Il Barbiere di Saviglia," arranged by Mr. M. P. King. The resource resorted to by the projector of this publication is so extensive and so eligible, that it is difficult to foresee where he intends to stop, or to what point he may not, with propriety, carry the executions of his idea. The dramatic airs that equally merit the attention of the conductor are innumerable, and would furnish him subjects for many succeeding years; but his best praise is, that if the future Numbers are as well constructed as the present specimens, the public will not quickly be tired of the undertaking.

The Lay of Love, a Ballad, written and adapted to a Popular Irish Melody, by D. A. O'Meara. The Symphonies and Accompaniments, composed by C. N. Smith. 1s. 6d.

The ideas of this ballad are conceived with fancy, and expressed with taste and smoothness. The air to which they are adapted has long and justly been a favorite with the Irish nation, and Mr. Smith's symphonies and accompaniments and their bass are quite as good as the irregularity of the melody would permit. The f sharp in the accompaniment, under the word fondness, in the second page, is, we suppose, to be regarded as an error of the engraver.

How sweet to see young Roses blooming, a Ballad adapted to a favorite Air of Mozart.

The simplicity of the words of this ballad, and the natural and unaffected ease of the melody to which they are adapted, are admirably suited to each other. It is not often that a foreign air so strongly favors the sentiment and style of an English lyric writer; but the truth is, that Mozart, who could stoop to plainness, without being mean, as easily as he could soar to sublimity, yet avoid bombast, often composes with the ease and inartificiality of an English master. THE DRAMA.

THE Theatres Royal proceed with varied, but improved success. At DRURY-LANE, the Tragedy of Coriolanus has been got up in a style, and with a splendor that confer credit on the taste and liberality of the manager; and in addition to the highly favourable reception of the Pantomime of "Jack and the Bean Stalk,"

a Tragi-Comedy, called "The Hebrew," founded on Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe," has been produced, and honoured with the decided approbation of the public. This piece, written by Mr. John Soane, son of Mr. Soane the architect, though not without its defects, possesses very considerable merit. If the scenes of the three first acts are not wholly exempted from languor, the spirit, energy and interest that illuminate and elevate the fourth and fifth, and the vigorous and poetical style of almost the whole of the language, might well justify Mr. Elliston in bringing the Hebrew forward.

Of the admired music of this Drama, the overture, inter-act pieces, and choral hymn, are from the scientific pen of Dr. Busby; and the scenes and dresses, the greater portions of which are new, have been prepared without any regard to expence; and are equally appropriate.

The COVENT-GARDEN managers have manifested a laudable emulation of the exertions employed at Drury-lane. The spirit and activity with which the manager of the latter started, appears to have put Messrs. Harris and Co. on the alert. No less than three new pieces have already been produced by them this season ("The Antiquary," a Comedy; Ivanhoe," a musical play; and "Too late for Dinner," a farce;) all of which have been favourably received. attention paid at this Theatre to the gratification of the ear, and of the eye, in its music and scenery, is both liberal and politic. To this remark we are par ticularly excited by the embellishments lavished on "Ivanhoe." The music, selected from Storace, is plentifully interspersed, and the canvas glows with beauty and brilliancy.

The

"Ivanhoe" and "The Hebrew," cannot be regarded but as rival pieces, in the strongest and closest sense of the word. Both founded on the same popular novel, both first appeared on the same night; and in their representation, the performers have been uniformly straining against each other; but the "Isaac" of Kean so far transcends in every respect, the best acting in "Ivenhoe," that were all the representative merit in the "Hebrew" confined to his individual excellence; were even the very distinguished abilities of Mrs. West's "Rebecca," left out of the scale, the weight of talent exhibited in his forcible acting and varied and pathetic intonation, would, in our opinion, overbalance all the histrionic art displayed in the representation of the Coventgarden Drama.

HEvicissitudes the weather, and extra

case of Dr. Yeats is, if the reporter be

duced a more than ordinary number of those disorders which implicate the pulmonary organs. Of true consumption, however, the cases still continue to be under the proportion which were observed some years since in the reporter's practice; and he still continues to hope, that this great source of annual mortality in the British Isles, is about to be considerably curtailed.

Instances have lately occurred in considerable numbers of those affections, which, under the medical name of Gastrotlynia, are viewed and treated in a somewhat empirical manner, neither their locality, nor precise nature being of very easy predication. It is in these obscure kind of stomach ailments, the oxide of bismuth, lately introduced as an article of the Materia Medica, proves often to be of decided and extensive efficacy. An interesting case, in which this medicinal has been employed with advantage, even where there is evidence approaching too nearly to absolute demonstration of organic disease, is recorded by Dr. Yeats, in the last number of the Quarterly Journal of Science and Art; and indeed, it is the admissibility of this drug at once, in merely spasmodic, and in more formidable and protracted kinds of irritation, which constitutes one of its principal claims to medical patronage. The

point of view, as it records the sufferings and alleviations of such sufferings of one, who, in his declining years, possesses the satisfactory consciousness of having, not only passed through life, under the constant exercise of private virtues, but of having also contributed largely to the treasury of public usefulness.

The reporter has recently been much gratified in witnessing the effects of another medi. einal, the use of which, likewise in the doses, and manner it is at present administered, is of modern date. He means the Oleum Terebinthinæ For tape worms, this medicine is of almost invariable efficacy, and even, when given under the probability, that worms are preying upon the vitals, and the expected effect of their dislodgment has not taken place, the advantage following the administration of the drug, has nevertheless, proved immediate and permanent. Dr. Hamilton, in his recent work on mercurial remedies, lauds this medicine in conjunction with castor oil, as constituting a most desirable cathartic, in some conditions of the intestinal canal, and there is a case in the Irish Transactions, in which absolute marasmus yielded to the influence of turpentine, with the celerity almost of a

charm.

ARON de Zach announces, that Capt. Royal, Copenhagen) has invented a rocket superior to Congreve's both in force and in the precision with which they are thrown. A new corps has been formed to use these missiles. They ascend to an immense height, and then exhibit a globe of fire, which may be seen at a distance of seventy miles.

Among the discoveries of chemistry in the present day, may be reckoned the process of converting into sugar, even linen rags. M. Henri Braconnot, speaking of the crystallizable sugar he obtained, he says, "I was led accidentally to this result by treating a solution of the acid mucilagenous mass, produced by the action of sulphuric acid on linen, with the oxide of lead, subjected to a long continued heat of 1000 centigrade; but after having passed through the liquor, a current of sulphurated hydrogen gas, to precipitate the lead contained in solution, and after evaporating it, I was agreeably surprised to see that the whole of the gummy matter was entirely converted into an acid sugary mass. I digested this mass with concentrated alcohol, by which the vegeto sulphuric acid was dissolved; the sugary matter remained a little coloured, and of a very fresh flavour. Twenty-four grammes (370. 6 gr.) of old cloth well dried, were reduced into mucilage by 34 grammes (525 gr.)

of sulphuric acid, observing the precautions ; in a certain quantity of water, precipitated the ligneous matter a little altered; when dried it weighed 3.6 grammes (55.5 gr.) This, when evaporated, yielded 23.3 grammes (359.8 gr.) of sugary matter of the consistence of syrup; at the end of twenty-four hours it began to crystallize, and some days after, the whole was condensed into a single mass of crystallized sugar, which was pressed strongly between several folds of old cloth; crystallized a second time, this sugar was passably pure; but treated with animal charcoal, it became of a shining whiteness. The chrystals were in spherical groupes, which appear to be formed by the union of small diverging and unequal plates. They are fusible at the temperature of boiling water. The sugar is of a fresh and agreeable flavour, producing in the mouth a slight sensation of acidness.

Mr. Brande has recently found that the illuminating powers of olefiant, oil, and coal gases are as the numbers 3, 2, and 1; and that their heating powers are nearly in the same ratio.

According to Sir H. Davy's Theory of Mists, land and water are cooled after sunset in a very different manner:-The impression of cooling on the land is limited to the surface, and is very slowly transmitted
