THE BRITISH MINSTREL; AND
Were I to tell you that the magnificent compass of
Madame Catalani's voice was the same as hereto-
fore, and all the clear violin notes of it quite un-
changed, you would probably not believe me; but
you may venture to do so, I do assure you, without
scruple, when I declare that she still executes pas-
sages of the extremest difficulty, with a degree of
skill that might cause vury nearly all her successors
in the science to pine with envv, and, moreover, give
up the competition in despair. Madame Catalani's
eldest son, who seems to love her as such a mother
deserves to be loved, is livingwith her; Madame de
V , likewise appeared domiciled with her excel-
lent mother; the youngest son, also spoken of as
highly estimable, is in the army with his regiment.
The dwelling of Madame Catalani is extremely
beautiful, being a large mansion, containing some
very splendid rooms, and situated, like all other
Florentine villas, in a spot of great beauty, com-
manding very extensive views among the pictu-
resque hollows of the neighbouring Appenines, with
the ever-bright looking villas scattered among them.

Bach's Recovery of Sight. — The indefatigable
diligence with which John Sebastian Bach passed his
nights and days in the study of his art, at length brought
on a disorder in his eyes ; which, notwithstanding the
efforts of an eminent English oculist, entirely deprived
him of sight. Soon after this misfortune, in the year
1740, his constitution, which before had been remark-
ably vigorous, began to fail ; and, after suffering under
a decline for about a year and a half he expired. The
extraordinary fact that gives interest and particularity
to this narrative is, that on the morning of the tenth
day before his death, he suddenly recovered his sight,
and saw as well as ever. — Dr. Busby's Anecdotes.
