Malibran has a magic in her own poetic being which creates poetry in every thing she touches ; she breathes soul into music . We trust that she will do yet more ( she has already done much ) towards that popularizing of highest and finest Art which will be a greater good to the nation than the Reform Bill itself , or the
repeal of the Assessed Taxes . Good people of Norwich , make your Festivals cheaper , hold them every year , cherish your chorus-singers , and never care whether the music be blue and white , or orange and purple . Your gentry have abominably demoralized your commonalty , for all political purposes ; you have to regain a character in the
country , for every where they call you all sorts of rascally names ; and you cannot do better than carry on , as you have already commenced ,, a great Musical Reform for the good of the nation at large . It is quite a godsend for you ; as good a thing as Greece was for Lord Byron , when Don Juan began to pall . You cannot be more honourably or usefully patriotic ; it will * be better than returning a milk-and-water brace of blues at the next

The faction leaders will keep down for some time what political virtue there is in you ; but it is there , and a great deal more of it than your accusers imagine ; let it sleep awhile , and sooth its slumbers with sweet airs . It may awake , like a giant refreshed , or disenchanted knight , and make your old streets ring with the shouts which announce the triumphant conclusion of a pure and popular election . I should like to come to that Festival .

Father , I am hungry . Can I have some bread ? Doubtless , boy , provided thou hast * money in thy purse ; ' otherwise hungry thou wouldest probably remain . Are we not in London , where , as the phrase goes , ' nobody gives nothing for nothing , ' and a man may starve in the midst of the provisions of Leadenhall market . How different is the land we came from , father . The Pampas peasants laughed at the foreign travellers who wanted to pay them for the roasted beef .
That , boy , was because the beef was in surplus , and the half of every ox was invariably wasted for want of consumers . As they could not conveniently kill half an ox at a time , even supposing the occurrence
