composer, or excluding that relief and variety which form so prominent a beauty in musical composition. Mr. Little, in his transformation of this orchestral production to a piano-forte exercise, has fully evinced his competency to such a task. The passages are judiciously re-modelled, and well-arranged for the finger, while the management of the flute and violoncello accompaniments, announces a thorough acquaintance with the powers of those instruinents, and with the art of their combi

nation.

"Oh smile, and all your cares shall end." A Duett, composed by M. P. Corri. 1s. 6d.

If the production now before us, is not of the highest description of excellence, neither is it wanting in a respectable degree of merit ; though the ideas are not particularly novel or striking, they are smooth, natural, and connected and the two parts blend with good ; effect. The passage in the relative minor, beginning at the words " Be every vain endeavour," affords a very pleas ing relief to the previous portion of the and returns with ease and grace strain; to the principal theme. As a chamber duet, we feel assured, this composition will prove very acceptable to the lovers of vocal music.

The celebrated Hungarian Waltz, with Variations for the Piano Forte. Composed by T. H. Butler. 2s. 6d.

Respecting the qualities of a melody which has been so often heard at every minor theatre, and in every public street, it is scarcely necessary to echo

the general voice, by dwelling on its simplicity and beauty. The proper object of our criticism is the new form and auxiliary additions it has derived from Mr. Butler's talents and science. These, we must say, are highly creditable to the labour he has bestowed upon it. The piano-forte exercise into which he has magnified an air of a few bars is, so respectable, and useful, as to be attributable only to the efforts of superior qualifications; and the more this ingenious master furnishes practitioners with compositions as well calculated to please and improve, as are his variations to this popular waltz, the more they will be obliged to him.

"All my Soul's love." Composed by

W. A. Wordsworth. 1s. 6d. In this little rondo, there is a visible spark of talent; but of talent that, as

visibly, wants further cultivation. The melody is alla polacca; but the pas sages are not always modelled to triple time; and the bass is far from being uniformly legitimate; and in very few instances, is the best that might have been selected. We have, however, allowed Mr. Wordsworth a scintilla of genius; and that is equivalent to admitting, that brightened by exertion, and guided by an improved judgment, it may hereafter shine forth in a superior style of composition.

Charles N. Weiss's Tenth Fanstasia, for the Flute, with a Piano-Forte Accompaniment. 48.

This Fantasia (in which Mr. Weiss has introduced the air of The Blue Bells of Scotland) is what amateurs call a shewy piece. It has much execution, some eccentricity, and a consiThe opening movement is bold, rapid, derable portion of brilliant passages. the Blue Bells are florid and fantastic, and striking; the variations given to and the total desertion of the subject, of wildness, is scarcely objectionable in in the seventh page, though savouring its effect. On the whole, this publication is far above mediocrity; and to the formers, will prove an eligible acquisilibrary of flute and piano-forte per

tion.

"Oh, Clara, Clara!" A Ballad; the Music composed by W. A. Mozart. 1s. 6d.

This ballad, the words of which are

by Walter McGregor, is easy and graceful in its melody; but not of very distinguished beauty in its general

effect. It wants that passionate appeal without which, songs founded on the tenderest sentiments of the heart, fail of their intended interest. The pianoforte accompaniment is commendable on account of its simplicity, and proper subordination to the notes of its principal.

"They tempt me not." Sung by Miss R.

Corri; composed by M. P. Corri. 1s. 6d.

This is an interesting little ballad of two verses, the burden of each of bles that furnish the title of the song. which consists of the four monosyllaThe passages of the air are elegantly and effectively turned; and the general impression is strong and appropriate. We venture little in prognosticating that "They tempt me not," will become a general and lasting favourite, in musical and tasteful families.

REPORT of DISEASES and CASUALTIES occurring in public and private Practice of the Physician who has the care of the Western District of the CITY DISPENSARY.

[ocr errors][merged small]

affections which are incident to the autumnal season, have this year proved more abundant than usual-and that they have spared neither sex, nor age, nor condition. It may now be further stated, that their continuance as epidemics has been beyond the ordinary period of their duration, and even at this moment the writer is witnessing complaints which are seldom seen in great numbers after the setting in of November.

It may be very fairly presumed that the dreadful accounts which reach us from the south, have some connection with that state of the atmosphere which disposes to the milder derangements of the British islands -and that the cholera of this country and the yellow fever of Spain are alike dependent upon the aërial constitution, connected with the endemic peculiarities of the respective places in which the one and the other appear. That the last is thus endemic, and confined in its locality, every thing connected with its peculiarities appears to prove; and the writer of the present paper believes, that it would be almost as easy to transport one of the Andalusian hills into Salisbury Plain, as to convey this fever in its severity from the south to the north of Europe. By some, indeed, it is thought, that the yellow fever is in no wise contagious, but this opinion is perhaps as erroneous as that which supposes that cordons of troops, or restrictions of quarantine, are either necessary or efficacious in preventing its spread. Plague, yellow fever, and typhus, are all contagious (probably in very different degrees,) but for the full developement of their contagious properties, they demand the assistance of local circumstances and they will no more flourish in soils, and situations, and seasons unpropitious to their propagation, than would the orange-tree of the southern groves, in the bleak and barren wilds of Lapland.

As in cholera, so is it with respect to yellow fever, that no precise and abstract precept can be laid down of treatment. The writer is sometimes summoned to cases which actually become different disorders in the short space of a few hours;-at one moment bilious disturbance and spasmodic derangement being the only things to be combated by the resources of medicine; at another, a rush of inflammation shall pour

in upon a vital organ, and unless met by vigorous counteractives, overwhelm the vital powers by its vehemence. Half measures are here of no avail; and it is wonderful with what efficacy large doses of stimulants, in one case, and large detractions of blood in another, may, nay, must be employed to insure the safety of the sufferer. That this assertion is made not in the spirit of rashness, but from a full conviction of its truth, the reader who is accustomed to peruse these reports will, it is presumed, credit.

With respect to the demands of the yellow fever, it cannot be expected that one who has never witnessed the disorder can speak with any authority; the following extract, taken from a sensible treatise just published on the Andalusian epidemic of 1820, will serve to shew the virulence of the complaint, and the necessity for prompt and vigorous treatment :

I

"Those terminated most favourably in which blood-letting was used to the greatest extent; but it is incumbent on me to state, that many cases ended fatally even when the lancet had every possible advantage. The Spanish physicians were no advocates for the practice in any case. My treatment of the disease was not very successful-theirs still less so. I lost one patient out of every five and a half; they one out of every two and a half; so that, in fact, neither of us had much to boast of. have observed (and it is important I should mention it) that in all cases in which the employment of mercury was followed by salivation, the patients recovered. This was the result, without a single exception, throughout the whole period of the epidemic; and so perfectly am I assured of the fact, that I would set down the recovery of any patient as certain who should be once affected to salivation. I insist upon the state of ptyalism; because I have seen many instances in which the mouth and gums became sore and ulcerated, without any salivary discharge, and in which the patients did not recover."

In the general fevers of this country, we judge either that the malady is of unusual malignity, or that the treatment is not what it should be, if the deaths average more than one-not in five, but in five and twenty. D. UWINS.

MONTHLY

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

UR information from the country at present, affords little of novelty. The disheartening conclusion of a season, most unfortunate and calamitous to the cultivators of the soil, is at hand, without the slightest present prospect of relief to the. sufferers, or the solace of any cheerful anticipations of the future. The report of the day, however, goes the length of asserting the actual formation of a new and powerful opposition party of the landed interest in parliament, which it is supposed (a frail supposition perhaps) will occasion more disquiet and actual danger to ministers, than all the whig or radical badgering of the past times. It has been likewise said, that the late general temporary abatement of rents has originated in an erroneous policy, which can never answer one of its obvious purposes; and that a fair permanent reduction would, in the end, have better subserved the interest of both parties. The comparatively small quantity of wheat which has been well harvested, is said to be fully equal, in quantity and measure, to the famous crop of last year. And so extensive was the breadth sown last season, that the markets will be amply supplied during the ensuing, however ordinary the quality of the greater part may be. The grand substitute potatoes, is put down as half a crop, of which a great part will be of a blighted and inferior quality; and now our sage and learned curb conjurors, in imitation of the example of their grandsires, they have a new and fine opportunity to task their wits for a discovery of the cause of that disease. Wheat sow

ing has been well performed on all forward and good lands; on those of a less fortunate description, from the interruption of too much wet, it has been an irksome and troublesome operation: in truth, farming on such soils more particularly, has been from early spring to the present month, a most irksome, harassing, and expensive labour; a melancholy addition to a desperately losing game. The early sown wheats are very forward and luxuriant, and if no frosts come to check them, will be winter-proud. Should the moisture of the atmosphere continue, sheep in the lowlands will be in danger of the rot. Turnips, but with more foliage than bulb, and grass in plenty; but where they have capital to purchase stock, they cannot entertain very sanguine hopes of remuneration for their outlay. Markets, both for the live and dead commodity, have been progressively sinking every week since our last report. Thus the farmer and grazier's sheet anchor seems to fail him. The remedy of long continued fundamental errors, is unhappily equally fatal with the disease.
