Love toill still be Lord of All ; or Carlisle s Hall . Poetry by Sir Walter Scott . The music by Charles Slomanv London : Harris , 83 , Tlathbone-place . —A bright dream of the past seems to unrol itself before our vision , even as the long hidden hieroglyphics of an ancient palimpsest gladden the searching eyes of the wax-removing antiquary , while we periise the bright poetic gem . upon our table , gloMng as it is with the
clear thbughtf ulness and moral tenderness of the mind-gifted wizard of the north . It would be vain to expend language in eulogy of Scot ^ —in the mansion of the prince , in the hovel of the peasant , his works are equally familiar—but if aught can increase our gratificat ^ with it , it is when we find one of his lyrics wedded to music , so that we majrhear his verses sung by those whose sweet pleasure that seeing to cast a spell over us , rendering lis oblivious of care ,
and only" accessible to the softer sensations of joy and delight . Bro . Charles § 1 oman has well fulfilled his commission j tfe ^ invented is admirably suited to the words , being an ingenious bleu ^ of Scottish and English character ^ pressive of sentiment . The accompaniment is of simple construction , and without affectation . It is probable that this ballad will become popular , and obtain an extensive circulation .
Lisbon Waltzes , for the Pianoforte . By Heeman Klino . London : Robert W . Ollivier , 19 , Old Bond-street , Piccadilly . —• Consisting of three waltzes and a coda , of that popular character which , while it does not arrogate to itself novelty , at least possesses the advantage of being sufficiently attractive to catch the public ear , and dwell for a time upon the memory . The construction of the bass is so simple , and the performance
of the air involves so little difficulty , that , in French phraseology , they may be truly styled valses composes pour petits doigts . To those who have just got beyond the threshold of their pianoforte education these waltzes will be found of great utility , being sufficiently difficult to necessitate a little attention , sufficiently easy to be surmounted with slight assiduity , and quite pretty enough when acquired to fully remunerate the expenditure of industrious practice bestowed upon them .
Highland Jessie , the Heroine of Lueknow , a Patriotic Song , written by D . M . Aird , composed by J . Browne . London : Henry Bale , 340 , Strand , and B . Williams , 11 , Paternoster-row . —A composition of very peculiar construction , so arranged by the ingenuity of the composer as to introduce those spirit-stirring melodies of Caledonia that are said to have roused the hopes of the heroine and cheered on the indomitable band of kilted warriors to deeds of daring valour , resulting in glory to our arms
and defeat and dismay to our foes , After a strain expressive of the wail of despair from the wretched besieged , the melody rises into hopeful phrase as the sound of the slogan strikes upon the attentive ear of the anxiously listening Jessie , and increases into manifest exultation as she hears the well recollected notes of the Highland pipe pouring forth the spirit rousing air of < c Duncan Grey , " and announcing the coming relief in the cheering strain of " The Campbells are coming .
