Is variously "- etinfatvd. 8r?me notice it rather a musical failure. We can hardly think this prohald", for many of the lust -nu-icians from various $tatcs were there, even the great violinist. Olb Bull, and persons tkillcd in all kinds of musical performances, as well as good singers by the thousand. A correspondent of the Trilmne, we believe, mentioned one circumstance that lie said necvsrarily marred the harmony of the sinking to lbs cars of the listeners. hut H was out the fault of the singers. They oeetfpled a apace of three hundred feet, and the difference in th< anund reaching the hearers, at various ilia lances, was percptiblc to the ear. Then was however solo singing and by smallei members, which, though leas grand, wa more musical. The Anvil Chorus, per formed by a bundled men, who came ii with red shirts, produced a fine si-nsatioi from ita novelty nnd power. The tretnen dous accompaniment of some of the per formanceB of deep mouthed cannon as hasa must have been more prodigious than har monious. It srrved, however, to (hake i big thing, beaiing doe proportion to th immense crowd inside the Coliseum am the thousands upon thousand* outside \ih eould net procure reals.

" "the historical sketch of Macbeth, although cursorily drawn, was not only fingUtkfty accurate and authentic, bat as oompleto as Its relevancy required. The defence of Lady Macbeth against tha vulgar belief of bor being an I execrable fiend, full of bad passions and bloody purposes, was eloquent iy sustained by excerpts j from the play, quoted in recitatira by the lecturer, with much dramatic p?wor and effect. But it is a misapplication of the term to cat' this exposition of the character tiV Macbeth a lecture. We rather inciino to Stamp it as an analytic review of the play, in whitfa the ealient features of the piece and its leading personages were so critically scrutinised, that wa actually compassed the operation ot the machinery of tha one, and delected the secret motives and impulses of the others. In fact, the rlcill of the artist succeeded in giving us a mimetic representation of tbia splendid tragedy, said to bo only second to ttas Rntnonlde* of Attchvlbs. The arrangement and development of the disquisition was sgrh a*V> prosoct to tha mental aye of the audlope* a panursniio view of the scenes and incidents of the etag* origioal, rendered, if w* may use tb* expresI sion, somewhat realistic, by the declamatory interludes and Interlocutory dialogue* introduced by way of illustration.
