O . 'J * fiAT « ES AN » ENTMRTAINMBNTS . Mb , 0 . E . Hqbsi <» y ' s ' new oratorio " Gideon" was rehearsed at St . James ' s Mall , on the 19 / 7 * inst ., by the Vocal Association . As the work was suddenly fixed for performance at tho Glasgow Festival
a month sooner than the Association or perhaps the composer expected , every allowance should be made for the notable shortcoming of a chorus mainly amateurs , and reading a new work almost at siglit . The musical copies , again , may not have been revised . The prgan par £ was certainly not ready to support the choir : and with all his genius the composer is not the practised conductor to neutralize impromptu so many unfavourable elements . Did we intend our observations to end here , we should not violate the nominal confidence imposed by the invitation we received , in common with other fourteen hundred guests , to a " private rehearsal . " But , as amidst the ample discouragements he may have received , one favourable though candid opinion may not be unpleasing to the talented composer , we have no hesitation in giving- ours : that the " Gideon , " if not , superior to Mr . Horsley ' s previous compositions , is one extremely rich in musical power and elegance . As it
is described as a Lyrical Oratorio , no exception can be taken to its pervading characteri as being even more secular than the " Creation . " The overture , the first song of Ebed , ( Mr . Sims Reeves ); the aria , " O Mighty God of Israeli" sung by the same : the chorus of the Baal worshippers ; the pure and original chorus of angels ; the superb one , " Down with the Shrines of Darkness ; " and a very secular duo , " O Lord , canst thou be with us ? " are all gems in the first part . In the second part , Madame Novello created the sensation of the evening , by the sweet religious feeling 8 he infused into ZillaKs air , " Thou givest thy beloved sleep . " The air for Joash , " Will ye plead for Baal , " will also rank among the beauties of the Oratorio . To conclude , the air , for ZAllah and chorus * " Deep in the Shades , " and Gideon ' s grand one , " O my God , make them like a wheel ! " will , we apprehend , be adrnifcted , when niore favourable circumstancea shall permit of more detailed criticism , as marked proofs . of the composer ' s poetical imagination and technical skill .
At Deuet Lane Theatke , a Miss Julia Daly made her appearance on Monday , and sang , played , and danced through six different characters ; tue best of which , because evidentl y ' drawn from nature , was her Yankee girl . She has a good person , a powerful voice , and can dance with no inconsiderable skill ; and as she has also complete confidence , she makes the most of her talents . ^ The house , which was crowded to seer the still popular pahtoriiime , loudly applauded , and so Miss Daly ; may be considered a success , though she has not the distinctive talents of Mrs . Barney Williams , nor of Mrs . Florence . «
Parliament. Rphe Opening Ofparliament Is...
PARLIAMENT . rpHE opening ofParliament is a sight sacred to select ~ eyes . Of X , the eight and twenty-millions / of British subjects in the three kingdoms , perhaps fewer than seven and twenty thou ? and have had the right' and the good fortune to be bodily present at this august ceremony during the present reign . At any period , the proceedings are imposing- and important ; on the recent occasion they were doubly so . While the European continent is seething and bubbling in all the agony of undefined forebodings and of impending change ; while each European power stands in pre-arranged attitude , ready , in case of need / to fly at the throat of its neighbour or to defend its own , England , prepared for all contingencies , was on Tuesday last busied in nothing more warlike than preparations : for treading in
the peaceful path of Parliamentary routine . The House of Lords presented a sight worthy of a great nation . The PeerSs in their robes ; the Commons below the bar ; the great officers of State about the throne : the throne itself occupied by the Royal Ludy who rules over the illimitable British Empire ; the Prince Cqntsort , and the jewelled bevy of English beauties thronging the galleries , formed a tableau , we dare venture to assert , unmatched for moral and physical grandeur in any other empire . The time , too , had its significance . Great and important matters at home and abroad , yet to be settled , gave additional weight and . interest to the . expected' speecli . That speech is now before the country ; it speaks of matters various , domestic and external , every one of
which demands , from its . gravity and probable action on the future , separate consideration for itself . The country ab largo will not fail to note the leading topics , so widely different from commonplace royal speeches . Every Englishman will , see that tho part which England has now to play in tho affairs of tho world , ia one that ab once ought to cause her to feel serious and proud . When royalty and its attendant train had disappeared , business in good earnest set in . It was evident that tho parliamentary gladiators had , during the recess , trained themselves vigorously for the coming cortibafc . Lords . Fjtzwim-iam and Trujio , us mover and seconder of the address in the House of Peers , were hoard with that decorous attention which marks the aristocratic branch of tho
Legislature . Earl Gbey followed in that atram of cantankerous ability which makes him such a dangerous political upp . munt , and sueli an unpractical statesman . The noble earl , as might Co uxpuctud , was satisfied and dissatisfied . He dealt out praise epnrinyly , balancing it with a suitable allowance of-censure , lie liked tho Government declaration oh the subjeot of Ituly—lie diniikeU the French commercial treaty , and the contemplated Chinese war . He tried whnt a little bit of opposition might effect , and lie moved a sort of subdued censure in relation to , the Chinese war , which , us a keen parliamentary tactician , ho well knew would kUiiiiI no chance of buiug cavried . The Duko of Newcastle , nothing loth , took uj ) the gauntlet thrown down by the crotahetty curl , and in n J ' ow p ithy sentences disposed of the objections . Parliamentary usages in all tjhat Govern men t had done or proppsed to do with respect fcp tho Chinese war , had been rigidly kept intact ; the war with Onina was conting-cnt , and the honour or the country vjib not to bo saoriflcod to tho interests of the tea trade As to the commercial
