THE ORATORIOS, AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS' DENSER;
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 anything 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 anything occurs which deserves attention, it shall not fail to receive it at our hands ; but wo must leave to others the discreditable task of puffing such exhibitions.
