CM, of them sornewhet Inquest but leterseting
events in this minty, • choral festival of
parish choirs, took plate at All lisiat's Church
on Monday afternom. On this semi= Ms
sacred edifies was crowded to asses; in fain the
March wee foand inadomiate to eontain the large
number of perms; eke whited to be most. Shortly
after three &ohmic a pretension was formed, eonsisting
of the insolmes of the various ohoirs,arrayed in surplise,
and aax""Paalad by a huge number of clergy, also
arrayed le their robes. who mareked around the Mush-
yard, and afterwards itetarod Me Munk, chanting the
promesiosal psalms, the 145th end 147th, the farmer ia
Gushy to G, and the hatter is Bobisma to G. The
Lord Bishop of the Dieser was in the pessimist and
on entering the aura the choirs and ministers foisted
an %pining, allowing him an uninterroped P
through tbe aides to the oomoinaioa table, whreeC
took his sat. After • few minuted interval the service
of the day amintemod. l'he Rev. J. Phillips, carets
of Trinity Church, Weymouth, intoned the masers in
a remarkably masterly style. The service was
Tallis's, with • slight variatioa in the t;onfeesiee.
The Palms af the day were chanted to Dr. W.
Orefeles Mast is F, but at times • little dierordamy
was observed, The Rev. J. Addison, ineambent of
' Trinity Marsh, Weymouth, read the fret hewn, and
the Bar. J. litepbensig, ineueshent of St. John*
I Weymouth, the snood. The !legating was cheated
to • Parisieons in F, and was well rendered, while the
Num Dimittis was Chartres in F. The anthem was
taken from the ODA Psalm,' Thou visi•est the 66'4116'1
It is • beautiful pima of mask, and certainly was done
indica to. Is mmumassal with a tenor solo, which
wog beautifully sustained, followed by a full thorn;
in which the votes of the various Moira blended
most harmoniously. The manner is which thie was
rendered showed that great peas must ham hese takes
by the choirs in order to have become so proficient,
and orrtainly the roans., in whisk they acquitted them-
mires redone the greatest credit upon than. The after
portion of the prayers was mad by the Rev. C. Towers,
vies of Cbibaart, Diocesan Secretary. The hymn
before the same was tak. n from the selootion of Hymns
Amami and Molina, commence with the words
" Praise, 0 Praia' oar God sad
ma sermon was premised by the Bev. C. T. Procter,
who selected as his text the 14th chapter of
Mark, and the Bth verse "She bath don*
what she sould." The rev. gentleman premed the
sal** more emesially the tastier of his test, by stating
that it was not by his own Mese or inclination that be
stood up on this occasion to preach in his own church,
especially in the mama of that faithful minister of
nbrist who had dome so musk to promote church music
In his own dims". Sig months ago he Freaked him
that he would be present at this Morel festival, and be
Ohs preacher) hotted that he would have preached on
this occasion, but he was suffering under • dogmatist
afilietioe, and therefore wald sot disMarde that duty.
Beare it same topes that the leak of addresdag them
had fallen upon Innuolf„ and mwilliagly and relating:4ly
did be do so. This was • festive measioa, but at the
same time it was • very important one. They meld
not but see God's mighty hand and finger in the
work which had bees going on for the pest few years
in briefing together, parish with perish, in ea many
churches and even cathedrals too, withost seeing that
It was for promotion His glory and Waging His praises
on earth. It was in this way that God was
reviving and mimating His Holy Cabello Church.
After • few further remarks he pointed out that as
Mary had dom all she could, soil was their duty, tomb
In their own sphere, to do all they could for the glory
of God. He contested the ears manifested in the
cultivation of semlar to that of March music, and
asked bow mush mosey was spout upon one musical
instrument for • drawing-room, whin the mush in the
House of God (pointing to the organ) would not be
tolerated in any other place. If. matooded that Moir'
ought to give God their best gifts, awl give them to
Ellin for His honour and glory. Hs explained that
although other pori.h festivals bed taken plaits in the
dneriet of which he was 'veinier', still as Mere had
never born one in this tows be/ore, he could not allow
this year to pass by without oodeavouring to get upon..
In easolegioa be emasetly appealed for help in order to
meet the exposes Moaned by the gathering. A indigo-
tiou was afterwards suds. _ . . . _ .

'rb• arr•••••••at• of the festival ware entrusted to
Mr. J. Rob nose the argasid of the ehuroh, and
distriet thwarts; and mast ably did be wry oat his
duties, and certainly Ise deserves the grestat credit.
Taking the festival altogether, although bus and
