THE ORATORIOS, AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS' DINNER.
WE class these two musical performances of the week together, because the same report will suffice for both. It is our usual cus- tom to look over the schemes of such musical entertainments as are offered to the public; and if any thing presents itself worthy of notice, to report our opinion upon it; but where nothing of this kind appears,—where selections offer only the same dull round of commonplaces,—we have too great a regard for our readers' time to occupy it by a detail of such nothings. This plan has saved us the trouble of attending either of the performances above men- tioned. Whenever any thing occurs which deserves attention, it shall not fail to receive it at our hands; but we must leave to others the discreditable task of puffing such exhibitions.
