The trumpet of fame has long since gone abroad in praise of the different compositions of Sanderson, at the Amphitheatre of Arts, Westminster-bridge, at which place we find he takes a benefit to-night. We have often listened with pleasure to his charming melodies performed at the Royal Circus, Vauxhall, and the Amphitheatre; and when we remind our Readers that this gentleman is the author of the music of that much-admired ballad called the “Cottage on the Moor,” he needs no greater eulogium. Mr. Sanderson seems also to possess abilities in another way, if we may judge from the judicious arrangement of the performances to take place this night at the above place, for he seems to have spared no expence [sic] whatever, as we find no less than three new pieces advertised, got up at his sole cost, together with the assistance of several performers, both vocal and instrumental, who positively volunteered their services on the occasion—a circumstance much to the honour and credit of Mr. Sanderson, as it shews he is a man universally respected in the profession. May his endeavours be crowned with success is the wish of a friend and admirer.
