1. HAYDN'S MOTETT in D Minor, " Insane et vance cures," for four voices, as performed at the York Musical Festival, Etc.; with an Accompaniment for the Organ or Pianoforte, arranged from the full score,,and inscribed to his friend, Mr. Sharman, Organist of the Catholic Chapel, Birmingham.

3. DIVERTIMENTO, introducing Avison's celebrated Andante, on which is founded Miriam's Song; arranged for the Pianoforte, by A'. C. WHITCOMBE.
I. This is, in our opinion, the most noble choral motett of the modern school. In order to give so unique a specimen of its class a still wider circulation than it had when combined with Mr. NoVELLO'S other arrangements, the editor has wisely extracted it. Its present cheapness places it within the reach of all classes of musical amateurs.
2. This volume contains not only a stock of movements, of that tasteful, smooth, and diapason class, which are most grateful in the church service, but some that are real curiosities. Such are the Sanctus from a Mass of BEETHOVEN, and a Puet from the Oratorio Die Letzten Dinge, of SPOHR, full of curious and novel effects. There are some delicious morsels of HUMMEL, from Masses and Offertories hardly known in England. Mr. CALLcorr shows, by his manner of adapting the endings to these move ments, that he is a good and well-grounded musician. Every bar of the selection tells.
3. A divertimento abounding with pleasant and useful passages. The andante is particularly agreeable, and its treatment something in the CRAMER vein. This piece is in B b. It is the air to which the words " Sound the loud timbrel " have been adapted ; but we like it better in its present dress.
