"On dark Vincennes the daylight broke." A Song. By JoHN

THomsoN.

The subject of this composition is the death of the Duke D'Eteeittne, which Mr. THOMSON has treated with his usual accurate perception of the right employment and purpose of vocal music. The melody strictly accords with the sentiment of the words ; and the accompani- ment is strikingly characteristic.
