                    DEATH OF MR. VON WEBER.
                It is but a short month ago, that we seized the pen to give our opinion on the merits of Oberon, and in so doing we expressed our anxiety at the state of the author’s health. Alas! Oberon, like the Requiem of Mozart, was the song of the dying swans: like the Clemenza di Tito, Oberon bears the impression of a spirit in preparation for a better world; and, like the Requiem, appears to have hastened the fatal moments of dissolution.
