Chassey for the Pianoforte , by Harold Thomas . London : Addison , Hollier , and Lucas , 210 , Regent Street . —Mr . Thoinas appears the very Mmrod of musicians ; he commences in a trot , breaks into a canter , until at length he works himself into a gallop , which , defying obstacles , rushes over hedge , ditch , and stile , until , the game being run down , the shout of exultation makes the welkin resound with its harmonious re-echoings ,
and the heart throbs with the united sensations caused by bodily exercise and gratified emulation . All this is as well pourtrayed as sounds can bring to the ear that which in itself belongs to the entire category of the senses , If we have any fault to find , it is that Mr . Thomas ' s road across the country is rendered almost impracticable to my but the practised rider in the musical hunt , for he has placed a five barred gate right in midway ,
ay , and a gate topped with spikes too ! What we mean to ask is—why that difficult movement in five flats ? But perchance Mr * Thomas will reply , " Season thine admiration for a while ; c La Chaise' was not intended for a tyro—it is only intended to be bestridden by those who know its pace , and keep it well in hand . " But a truce with metaphor— " La Chasse" is really a well written piece of music , and such as the experienced performer will greet with a hearty welcome .
'The Wedded Flags ( a Song of the dalle ) . J . H . Jewell , Great Bussell Street , Bloomsbury . —The poetry of this song is by the Right Rev . George Deane , D . D ., Bishop of New Jersey , and is founded on an incident which took place on the recent celebration at New York , of the laying down of the electric telegraph cable , when " the English and American flags , displayed together from the spire of Trinity Church , werp blown across each other in a mutual embrace . " The line $ have been well Set to music by our Bro . Matthew Cooke , and the song will doubtless become highly popular during the coming winter .
