The Mufic with an Accompaniment for the Piano-Forte, compofed by Reginald Spofforth. Price 3s. 6d. Longman and Broderip. a "The Twelfth Cake" is formed on plan entirely novel. The fongs are per fectly appropriate to the occafion, which furnishes the title of the work, and are written in the feveral characters of king, queen, a failor's wife, a match-girl, Simon Pure, a ballad-finger, and harlequin. Thefe characters, generally fpeaking, are fupported with judgment, and at the fame time, prefent to us familiar but pleafing airs. The introduction confifts of two movements, is purely inftrumental, and may be confidered as a short overture. The finale is a chorus, and concludes the production with a spirited and plea fur able effect. The Prefident's March, arranged for two Performers on one Piana-Forte, by R. Taylor. Price 18. Prefton and Son. The Prefident's March is an American compofition, The ftyle in which it is conceived is lively, but wants confequence and ftrength of effect. In the form, in which Mr. Taylor here prefents it to the English public, it furnithes a good exercife for young performers, and potfelfes, in a confiderable degree, the qualification common to piano-forte duets; which is that of improving the young practitioner in his time.

We have perused thefe duets with confiderable pleasure. Much elegance of yle prevails through the work, and fome of the airs do high credit to fignor Bianchi's talents, both on account of their accurate and forcible expreffion, as well as their theoretical excellence.

Many perfons, who are ufually afflicted with these complaints at this time of the year, have either entirely escaped, or have been very flightly affected by them. The froft, however, though it lafted but for a few days, rather increased the number, and aggravated the symptoms of thefe difeafes. In one cafe of catarrhal fever, befides a confiderable degree of pain in the head, particularly about the frontal finus, forenels and excoriation of the fauces, and fome rigidity in the muscles of the lower jaw, the cough and difficulty of breathing were fo urgent, as to require the application of leeches and a blifter to the fternum; thefe means, accompanied with gentle purging, and the ufe of antimonials and fquills, fucceeded in the removal of the difcafe.
