in many inftances fets the most common and well-known laws of harmony at defiance. The inhibitions against fucceeding eighths and confecutive fifths are no reftraints upon the adventurous imagination of the compofer, and the whole exhibits a picture of mufic running mad. Within thefe facred Bowers," a favourite Song. Compofed by M. Mozart. is. Longman and Clementi. This beautiful little ballad adds another wreath to the brow of Mozart. The melody is fweetly penlive, and the expreffion every where forcible and juft. If its general excellence leaves us any thing to wifh for, it is the relief of modulation, which certainly would have ftill heightened the effect, both as to air and fen timent. Three Sonatas for the Piano-forte, with or without the additional Keys, and an Accompani ment for a Violin or Flute. In which are introduced a favourite Spanish Air, The Hanoverian-Waltz, Rule Britannia, &c. Compofed, and dedicated to Mifs Glyn, by J. L. Hoberecht. 7s. 6d. Goulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. Thefe fonatas are written with much tafte, and discover in the compofer a clear and experienced knowledge in fingering. The paffages are for the moft part flippant and flowing; and the harmony and modulation are judiciously conducted. The Spanish Air and the German-Waltz greatly enrich the work, and the accompaniment is confonant and masterly. “A Riddle,” fet to Mufic by a young Lady; the Accompaniments by Mr. Theodore Smith, 1s. Goulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. With this little, fimple, unaffected air, we are much pleafed. The melody moves with a graceful eafe; and the accompani ment by Mr. Smith, is judiciously applied. The bafs carries with it fo much of the character of a mafter, that, perhaps, we venture little in attributing that alfo to the ingenious author of the accompani ment. Amateur. IS. "The Poor Orphan Nofegay Girl," an admired Ballad, as fung with univerfal Applause at the Theatre-Royal, Drury-Lane, and at feveral of the Nobilities' Concerts. Compofed by an Rolfe. We find fome pleafant eafy paffages in this little ballad. We must confefs, that it prefents to the ear nothing very novel or ftriking; but, at the fame time, it ranks above the ordinary character of the little vocal productions of the prefent day, and cannot fail to please the lovers of fimple and natural melody. "Variety," a favourite Glee for three Voices, performed at the Crown-and-Anchor Glee-Club. Compofed by P. Miller. IS. Goulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. We have carefully perufed this Glee, and find it not to be univerfally true, that "Variety is charming." P. Miller's it is "Variety" uniformly dull. The "Variety" exhibits, indeed, a paradox ;melody is common place and tasteless, and the harmony bald and meagre. Trois grandes Sonates pour le Piano-forte, avec Accompaniment d'un Violon obligé. Composés, et dediées à fa Majefté la Reine de Pruffe; par D. Steibelt. Oeuvre 27. 8s. Prefon. Thefe elegant fonatas are every way worthy the talents of their excellent author. Brilliancy and clearness of fancy, together with a thorough knowledge of the executive powers of the inftrument for which he writes, form the leading features of every movement in the pages before us, and place Mr. Steibelt's genius in the moft ftriking points of view. The general style in which the work is written, is calculated both to intereft the proficient, and to improve the less advanced practitioner. Six Waltzes, compofed and adapted as Leffons for the Piano forte, with Accompaniments for a Tambourine and Triangle (ad libitum); and Inftructions for performing on the Tambourine; by T. Bolton. 5s. Goulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. In this publication, the lovers of tambourine mufic will find a variety of useful hints. The flamps, femi-flamps, the trawale, the double-travale, the gurgles, the bass, the turn, and other neceffary particulars, are explained. The waltzes are, for the most part, uncommonly pleafing, and well calculated for tambourine and triangle accompaniments. A Scotch Air, arranged as a Rondo for the Piano-forte; by A. Betts. IS. Betts. This Air, as arranged by Mr. Betts, forms a pleafing little leffon for the piano. forte. Some of the paffages are not fo well difpofed for the fingers, as we think all minor exercifes fhould be: but, taken in the aggregate, we cannot but approve the method in which the air has been treated; nor can we difmifs the article, without recommending it to the notice of all young pupils. "Thrice Welcome to thy Native Home," a Glee, for two Trebles and a Bafs, with an Accompaniment for two Performers on one Pianoforte. Compofed by L. Hoberecht. 2s. 6d. Goulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. The compofition of this glee, does much honour to the talents of Mr. Hoberecht. The The idea of the duett accompaniment to a A Twelve Marches and Waltzes, adapted for the Piano-forte, with Accompaniments for a Tambourine and Cimbals, or Triangle. Chiefly com-" pojed for the Band of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales; by J. Jouve. 55. Gaulding, Phipps, and D'Almaine. Thefe pieces, for the most part, are highly attractive to the ear, and perfectly calculated to facilitate the progrefs of the juvenile practitioner. The paffages for the right hand are fmooth and natural; and the arpeggio bafs which generally prevails, forms for the left hand that introductory freedom which quickly leads to the execution of more difficult mufic. Of the different pieces, the most pleasing in our opinion are, Numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11. THEATRICAL RETROSPECT FOR MARCH, 1800. NEW Comic Opera, from the pen Mrs. Jordan has appeared during this of Mr. Franklin, entitled The Egyp-month at this Theatre, in feveral of the tian Festival, was performed at Drury- characters in which the most excels. Her Jane Theatre, on the 11th of this month. acting is more rich and brilliant than ever. This piece is among thofe productions Her Country Girl, the first character the that deferve nothing more from the critic played this feafon, approaches as nearly than a general cenfure. Neither the heart to perfection, as is perhaps to be looked nor the imagination can find any gratifi- for in this moft difficult art; and her Lady cation in the writing. What there is to Conteft is fcarcely inferior. praife in this exhibition, is to be found in the mufic and pageantry. The former, compofed by Mr. Florio, is not without merit. The overture, a duet fung by Madame Mara and Mrs. Bland, and a Song in the ballad ftyle fung by Mrs. Bland, are beautiful in their feveral kinds. The duet and fong, which are both in the first act, deserve to be heard by every lover of mufic. The duet, in particular, is fine; and is executed by Madame Mara and Mrs. Bland in a moft delightful manner. The scenery deferves particular commendation, for being appropriate and beautiful. But here must be ended the praife of this piece, even as a spectacle; for the proceffions are copies of things exhibiting every week at both houfes. There is one thing, indeed, that is in part an exception to this obfervation. It is the concluding fcene; which, though not new, is admirably managed. It is the ftorming of a caftle. The working of an Englifh fhip of war, in this fcene, is uncommonly well done. On the 26th of this month a new mufical after-piece, entitled St. David's-Day, was performed at Covent-Garden Theatre. This is an extremely agreeable trifle. Some of the characters are fimple and interefting; and others, gay and humorous: the story is fufficiently good, and very well told. Moft of the fongs are peculiarly characteristic, and pleasant. The compofer, Mr. Atwood, has contributed his full fhare to the merit of the whole. The mufic is of that kind which is beft adapted to fuch productions. It is chiefly of a popular caft. A fong in the ballad ftyle, fung by Mr. Townsend in the 2d act, is exceedingly beautiful. There are other airs more elaborate, which are equally fuccessful. Very little objection can be made to any part of the writing of this piece; the author, however, fhould be told, that his frequent ufe of puns is below the talent he generally evinces. MONTHLY MAG.

In Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-ftreet, aged 75, At his houfe, at Ponders End, near Enfield, William Fuller, efq. of Lombard-ftreet, banker. This gentleman had amaffed one of the largest perfonal eftates in the kingdom. He was born in 1705, in fome part of Berkfhire, and, at the age of 14, was fent to London as an apprentice to a writing master, in Tower-ftreet. He first entered into bufinefs, as a principal, in Fenchurch-street, where he kept a fchool; but the houfe where he acquired most of his fame as a writing-master, and much of his wealth, was in Lothbury. The establishment of his fon, naturally became to a man of his prudence and experience, an object for the exercife of both. He determined to make him a banker, and placed him as clerk, in the houfe of Hinton, Brown, and Co. Quakers, in Cornhill, to qualify him for the profeflion he had chofen for him. When this was accomplished, the wary father, who was then of an age at which many men, with far lefs fortunes, retire from bufinefs, began his new career as a banker, in partnership with his fon. Since this epoch in Mr. Fuller's life, more than forty years have elapfed, during which, a ftem of rigid economy, bordering on penurioufnefs, has enabled him to collect into one heap, the accumulating profits of a confiderable banking bufinefs, amounting to a fum little short of half a million fterling. The extreme frugality of Mr. Fuller has fubjected his character to fome fhare of ridicule. After all, much must be allowed for the peculiarity of a man's habits, who formed his manners after the models of the last century, and whofe morals were derived from the fchools of Calvin. That Mr. Fuller beflowed large fums on public charities, of various defcriptions, in his life time, is well known; and that he privately did many generous acts, may fairly be interred from the circumftance of his having entrusted the Rev. Mr. Winter, and others, with confiderable fuins of money, for objects whom he thought deferving of relief, with ftrict injunctions to conceal their benefactor from their knowledge. He has bequeathed the bulk of his large fortune, to his two furviving unmarried daughters; the eldest of whom is nearly feventy years of age, and the youngeit more than fixty. Erratum in the Account of the late Mr. Stewens. Mr. J. Read of Barnard's-inn, thould be Mr. J. Reed of Stapler-inn. This gentleman, and the late Dr. Farmer, were two of the most intimate friends of Mr. Steevens. 292 PROVINCIAT PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. Arranged geographically, or in the Order of the Counties.
