" Dark was the night." Ballad. }By JOHN THOMSON. "

A parting blessing." Chorus.

These pieces form part of the music in the Shadow on the Wall, an afterpiece produced this season at the English Opera-house. They afford additional evidence of Mr. T tiomsoN's ability as a dramatic writer: and display, in very different ways, the power of associating ap- propriate and descriptive music to poetry. The Chorus is singularly graceful and pleasing. We are happy to learn, from the Chronicle, that Mr. THOMSON'S talent is again put in requisition by the Manager of the English Opera-house ; where our prediction respecting the fate of the Vampire was very speedily accomplished.
