The madrigal, with which the concert commenced, se
also the part song which followed, were very Mot&
rendered by the whole strength of the choir, floe
former without aocompanitrient. The M.S. part
song and Mendelwohn'll Turkish Drinking Bong,
both written for equal voioes were allotted to the
gentlemen of the choir, end were very creditably
performed. The Chough and Crow woe esooehingly
well lung, and the addition of the treble volou at the
, oonoluding chorus, "Up rouse ye than," graitly en'
hanood the effect, and produced an uniudinoue
encore. It is almost unnecessary to say that a
similar honour vu conferred upon that esUbliahed
favourite "All among the barley," which was
given with becoming vigour and due atgintion to
light and shade. The laughing trio, "Vitalist via di
qua," which was capitally sung, and was vociferously
encored, brought the entertainment to a aloes.
In addition to the vocal music Mr. It, Linter, of
Weymouth, performed several piece. on • new
Parisian triohord pianoforte. Of this gentleman's
performance it I. unnecessary for us to speak, his
fame being known far beyond the border" of this,
we believe, his native country. It is suftloient for us
to say that on the pleura occasion his performances
afforded the utmost delight to an audience well 011.

very partioulary refer to as being a masterly per.
formanoe which called thefor well•merited enoore.
Before oonoluding, we would inquire how it is
that the musical talent *sitting in this and the neigh•
beuring towns and villages in the western portion of
our county is not oonoentrated, and thus rendered

minierloally 'trans enough in attempt some of the

Haydn, and Mendelmohn, and time affbrd a rich
treat to a population which no single church choir
would be side to sooomplish. We throw out the
hint, and shall be happy to hear that it has been
acted on.
