SALISBDRY.—The concert in aid of the Literary
and Scientific Institution on Tuesday evening i
redoff very suocessfully. Indeed could not
been otherwise anticipated when the talent
engaged is taken into consideration. The concert I
was under the direction of Mr. C. J. Read, and in
his selection of the pieces performed he Me displayed
that taste of which we have previously had occasion
to speak in high terms of commendation. Miss
Aylward, the members of the Cathedral ohoir, Mr.
Richardezn organist of tbe Cathedral, Mr.Aylward,
and others, volunteered their eminence, and it is 1
seedless to say that the pieces generally were well
rendered. Miss Aylward sang two sone during
the evening. "Of thee" by Kummer, and "Terence's
farewell to Kathleen," by Henry La FatourelL The
latter was decidedly the favourite, and Mies Aylward
swig it with considerable taste. The &adieu°e
demanded as encore, which was gracefully acknow- ,
lodged. Mies Aylward also fang a duet, "When
rolling waves divide us." from the opera of "Lucia
Di Lammermoor," by Donnizetti, with Mr. West-
moreland. This very pleasing yet difficult piece
was rendered faultlessly, and the audience expressed '
by a hearty encore their appreciation of the manner
in which it was sung. Mr. Westmoreland of the
Cathedral choir was quite at home in the 1
" Eily lidavourneen,' by Jules Benedict,in. ,
this !Jong was one of the genie of the ,
evening. He sang with great feeling, and
the audience/ insisted upon its repetition. "Th.
Stirrup Cup," by Ardin, sung by Mr. Taylor,
is worthy of especial notice; as is also the recitative
and air from Acis and Galatea," by Handel, sung
by Mr. Kenningbam. Mr. J. E. Richardson played •
fantasia on the pianoforte—L'Elisir D' A more —which
he wee coniped to rapist; and Mr. Read also
favoured the audience with • solo on the pianoforte,
in which he displayed his abilities as • pianist. The
glee, "By C,elies Arbour," was admirably sung by
the Cathedral Choir. The inetrumental pieces were
performed in a very masterly style, and reflected
the highest credit upon the gentlemen engaged.
The Mayor of Salisbury, (J. Water*. Esq.') who
occupied the chair, thanked Mr. Read and the
vocalists and instrumentalists generally, on the part
of the committee of the institution, for the services
they bad rendered, and expressed his high apprecia-
tion of the performances. The concert was name.
roualy attended by the citizens, and we feel con-
fident that every one left the room highly gratified
with the musical treat afforded them.
Mr. F. Treble, the well-known photographic artist
of Calierine-street, in this city, has just taken •
photograph of a very ezquisitely.carved ivory
creeds, belonging to . the Rev. Lord Sidney
Godolphin Osborne. The crucifix Baal is • great
work of art, and was executed by 13envenuto
Cellini, jeweller to Catherine De MINIICIS, of
Florence. The accuracy with which the original is
copied is something surprising, and the ckar oscura
has been so well arranged that every minute detail
of the figure is thoroughly defined, and the effect is
fully equal if not superior to that of the carving.
The admirably-tinted back-ground, and the black
ebony cross, throws the figure of the Saviour into
high relief, and thus the pnocipal object is brought
prominently before the eyes. Altogether it is
another very choice specimen of the skill of the
artist; and, as an evidence, the perfection to which
photography has attained, it is well worthy the
notice of all lovers of art.

nerroaartos OF SALISBURY CAYMIDRAL.—The
following letter having reference to the restoration
of our cathedral, has been addressed to the Mayor
of this city by the Very Rev. the Dean
The Deaner, Salisbury,
February 5, 1884.
Dux Ma. Maroa,—The state of the Cathedral both
as to its general disrepair, and more especially as to
the safety of the Tower and Spire, has his. few some
time past a source of much moiety to the Dean and
Chapter.
In • matter involving snob great responsibility, we
felt it incumbent upon us to resort to the highest pro-
feesional advise, and accordingly determined to consult
Mr. Scotto After • careful survey that gentlemui has
estimated the cost of restoration of the entire Cathedral
at from f 35.000 to £40,000; exclusive of • sum of £IO,OOO
now in hand, received from the Eocladastioal Commis-
sioners for the "substantial repair." of the fabric. There
were certain works, however, essential to the security
of the building, which Mr. Boot* urged us to commence
without delay. These works, rehire have been for
some months peat in program, will, when completed,
absorb the whole of the above-mentioned sum
of 00,000. As we shall then be left without
any available funds for carrying into execution
the plans of Mr. Scott, we &el ourselves obliged to
appeal to the Diocese for awiistanoe. For that purpose
it is intended to hold • public meeting in Salisbury, on
Thursday, the 7th of April at which the Lord-
