Upon this great master the lecturer dwel t at SSKnd in the enthusiastic affection with which he treated the character of Se ^ and ° he ? works of the artist , it was easy and delightful to recognise the StoSies of the Italian patriot , and the kindred worship of the sculptor . ^ Si n * defended Michael Anqelo from the accusation of causing the rum ofSaft by the intense vitality with which he impressed Ins creations , 1 by ^^ ss & ' & s ^^ s ^^^ ss ^^ SS « £ ni and Sing to the similar deformities of taste in France and m waSS : k , an ™ Fr a ^ cmak , to whose names Mr Monti assoc . ated those of the Wrnnnn critic Milizia , and the English painter Hamilton . ^ Thistorfc al sketch ^ concluded with a notice of tho more modern masters , as TbS ^ S ^ B ^^ SitA , the importance of which the lecturer took pams KSrtss upon hS ^ udience Gxbson and the English sculptors of whose u ? erS ? re spoke as tlie most warm and brotherly admiration not umner ^ w trust •—Pradieb and the French Art , in which he lamented to find , with but few exceptions ^ o much esprit and skill , debased to subordinate decoration , or Sa » EiSSffiSBSi 5 a £ ?

to in religious silence by an audience of critics . ' But we cannot hope to express the obligations of the musical profession , we should say of all lovers of music , to Mr . Ella , better than the illustrious Meyerbbee , who , after being present at a Concert of the Musical Union , addressed the following letter to the Director : — ( Translation . ) " London , July 9 , 1855 . " Mtt Dear Mr . Eixa , —I thank you with all my heart for the great pleasure you have afforded me in giving me the opportunity of being present at a seance of the ' « Musical UnioD . " To hear admirable masterpieces executed In so atl miracle a manner that the most delicate beauties and the finest niceties are brought cut into relief by the talent and the ensemble of the executants , this is a keen musical enjoyment . But to me it was quite as keen an enjoyment to remark with what intelligence and with what interest your numerous audience was listening , and to see so many ladies following the music score in hand . The analyses which you give of the works executed at your meetings are written with equal science and line observation ; and they contain excellent criticisms . They must powerfully aid such of the audience as are not professional musicians to note instantly the " severer beauties of the morceaux , which , without that guide , would probably have eseaped them at a first hearing . ILet me add , that you deserve to be ' congratulated upon having created , and upon the direction of so noble an institution , which must have contributed already , and will yet contribute to the general propagation of a taste for the classical musi c of the i mmortal mastersf Accept the expression of my most distinguished . fg ^ j ^^ ,. Mr . Ella may well deposit this letter with a just pride among the titledeeds of the " Musical Union . " .
