The ORAToRIo OF JEPHTHA.-This pro-
duction Of a native composer, Mr.. J. III.
Hewitt, says the N. Y. Heard, is to be
brought before the public on Wednesday
night at the Tabernacle, by the Sacred Mu-
sic Society Of this city. Its simplicity and
beauty are highly spoken Of by those who
are capable Of Judging. Offs success at the
South our correspondents have already spo-
ken in very favorable terms. There is but
little doubt that the superior strength Of the
Sacred Music Society will give it fair test
Miss Northall and Mrs Andrews take the
principal soprano parts-they are both vo-
calists Of reputation. Mr.. Paige, who per-
sonates Jephtha, is an excellent tenore, and
Mr. Sheppard possesses capital voice for
the primo basso. With such auXliaries, the
Oratorio ought to have fair trial.
