"We are free.' Scena : the Poetry by ROBERT NICOLL

; the Music composed, and dedicated to Miss Eliza Ashurst, by Herr STAUDIGL.

There is great animation about this production, which bears on its face the freedom of a German pen versed in orchestral effect. A de- clamatory character, blended occasionally with melodious phrases, pre- vails in it; and the voice is supported by an accompaniment of consi- derable independence. It may be recommended to the energetic bass or alto.
