GRAND CONCCIIT.—We refer our readers to the an-
nouncement in our advertisement columns of Mr.
Boyton ,mith's Concert oa Thursdny next. The
programme appears to present many and varied at-
tractions, and contains judicious admixture of popular
and classical music, the execution of which is amply
guaranteed by the names of those who are engaged to
give it effect; and we hope that as Mr. Boyton Smith
has liberally catered for the musical public of Wey-
mouth, they will in return accord him that support
which will induce him to continue these annual musical
licata.
