SPOHR.

Jr is rumoured in the musical circles, that SPOIIR, the great violin player and composer, is dead. This intelligence, which reached us by the way of Paris, is not confirmed by any German papers that have lately come to hand. We trust, therefore, that report has exaggerated some illness, and that we shall not have to lament such aman cut off in the vigour of his days and the plenitude of his genius.
