Mass in C, Mozart's Twilfth M»w, Elvey's Ke3urrection and Ascenxion, Mendelsohn's St. Paul, and Haydn'a Creation ; and the commtfcee are glad to be able (o state that, though they have exceeded th.ir promise in this respeot, yet the expen diture has been kept below the income, and the Society has now a small balance in hand. t It mutt be remembered that the Society has been entirely dependent upon private source* for the muiio it has performed, and it is not probable that, so long as the preient depression continues, any funds will be available for the purchasing of new music How ever, the committee are happy to say that they hare still at their disposal the full orchestral parts of the following works, in addition to those that have already been performed : — Handel : Samion ; laraelin Egypt ; Judas Maccabaeus ; Alexander's Feast ; Aois and Galatea. Mendelssohn : Hymn of Praise ; Elijah, Beethoven:Engedi,orDavidinthe Wilderness. Spohr: Last Judgment. Rossini: Stabat Mater. "Weber: Mass in G ; Mass in E flat. Sterndale Bennett : May Queen and Richard Cceur de Leon. Sohachner: Israel's Return from Babylon. Gounod: Mesie Solennelle. Beethoven's symphonies, and a Urge number of quintets, quartet*, trios, and septet arrangements of symphonies by Haydn, Mozart, Hinmel, and others, have also been lent to the Society, and the committee propose during the ensuing year to set apart one or two evenings in which works of this character may be produced, if it be found that the instrumental band is able to perform them. Some operatio and other xmuio of r a lighter oharacter (suoh as overtures) will also be addr a, for those whose taste does not delight in the higher order of music. And it is proposed during the ensuing year to pro duce as many of the above-named piece* as the com mittee Shall find practicable, the number of perfor mances being regulated, of course, partly by the pro ficiency of the members and the consequent amount of time required for practice, and partly by the income of the Society. The "Messiah" will be performed, as usual, on Christmas Eve.
