      NEW MUSIC . The publishers are preparing for the winter season in earnest . Messrs . Cramer , Beale , and Cliappell , and , Messrs . Boosey are both extensive contributors to the list of novelties . Several meritorious compositions by Walter Maynard head the list . Among them are " Meditation , " a song of considerable merit , and " Why did we meet ?" a sentimental ballad ( for the contralto ) ; both of which will become df awirig-room favourites . "Haste , haste to the hill s of beautiful Wales " ( for the tenor

      voice ) , a pleasing strain of poesy , by Mr . J . James , simply and attractively set by Mr . G . A . Macfarren , appears to have been written , if we may J udge by the fervidly patriotic allusions it contains , Apropos of the recent royal visit to the principality . Among the Messrs . Boosey ' s publications are three brilliant pianoforte pieces by A . Schloesser , the best of them "Xteodora , " and a nocturne , by J . Ascher , upon a theme from Verdi's " Ballo in Maschera . " Mr . Balfe ? s new ballad , the words by Kingsley , " The Sands of Dee , '' is one of the composer's best : stern , simple , melodious , and extremely touching .

      Not the least interesting among the musical novelties of the . day will be found the two songs , " Xeave us Not , " and " There is a Happy Land , " published ( in one cover ) by Ollivier , of-fijfcid-street , and composed by Amie Coyne , a young student under twelve years of age . Dissenting from the arrangements of the title page , we are disposed to place first the religious melody , " There is a Happy Land , " which is treated with solid simplicity , reminding us at once of the grace and the power of Mendelssohn . The " Leave us Not" is a young artist ' s reverie of far less strength and originality ; but the two taken together leave us no room for doubt that the composer has early found hersel mistress of a degree of technical knowledge , feelingand application unusual in so young a person . The path dubiousif

      of musical precocities is not so , we may trust experience , as that of others ; and we would encourage pur young poetess , should she meet with rough reminders , that she is yet a tyro in musical science , nor has felt enough to be impassioned , to remember that inasmuch as the composer of " Don Giovanni " wrote the antiquated and comparatively colourless ,- " Revolt of the . Serail , " when he was but a year or t > vo older than herself j the full measure of inspiration is clearly not always meted out to the most skilful , or apparently profound , of youthful enthusiasts . The maiden of twelve who set " There is a Happy Land , " and has the advantage of Mrs . Mounsey Bartholomew ' s tuition , has bright prospect ? before her , which one cannot but hope she will have health and industry to realise .

      THE CONGRESS . The Constituttonnel of this day ( Friday ) , in an article signed by its . editor , M . Grnndguillot , maintains its belief , notwithstanding the restrictions made by the English press , that a Congress will take place . The Constitutionnel explains the reasons which have rendered the speedy assembling of a Congress necessary . The state of affairs in Italy had been settled by the treaties of 1815 in such a manner that the arrangement agreed to must humiliate France and compromise the political existence of the Peninsula , in consequence of which permanent dangers were created to Europe . This state of affairs was the real cause of the revolutions of 3830 and 1848 . The article concludes with a protestation against the statement that France intends to establish a protectorate over Italy .:

      • written comedy , " They ' re Both to Blame . " - These artists are , we might almost say , inimitable in their delineation of the turbid double-blessedness which occasionally waits on marriages . for nioney . It is a source of sincere gratification to the admirers of the former , whose genteel comedy can hardly be spared from our modern theatre , to find that he has at last made successful head against the protracted series of indisposition that has so long baff led his efforts to return to his profession . Haymarket Theatre . —A rapid succession of sterling ' comedies , ably represented by Mr . Buckstone's strong and well-drilled troupe , continues to give variety to the Hay market bills , while at

      halfprice pur old friend , " Paul Pry , " with Mr . and Mrs . Charles Matthews , exercises his antique spell upon all spectators , and compels them to sit out a three-act play , containing no more material than would furnish forth a one-act farce of the present fast age . As Paul , Mr . Matthews , though less interesting ( so your very old playgoers say ) , because , perhaps , better looking , than the late lamented Mr . Uston , is of , course , extremely droll . While extremely vivacious , be it also observed , he steers clear of all vulgarity . Mr . Chippendale is properly sententious and gentlemanlike as the Colonel , while the part of the latter ' s pretty daughter , Phcebe , is adequately filled by Mrs . Matthews . The revival is extremely successful .
