TRH Prin.—The vessels of the Channel Fleet will
leave Portland f.,r Bantry Bay on Tuesday next, they
will be joined by the ccastiguard squadron, under the
cummaud of the Duke of Minburgh, about the Middle
of July, the vessels of the latter having first
assembled at Portland.
CUM Ts AOCIDRST. A resident of the Straits,
named A.nthony, was a day or two ago trying to convert
a bensoline ca,k into a water-butt, and whilst boring
a bole is th cask IT the tap with a red hot poker an
explosbn took place, of such force as to blow out both
ends of the barrel, and the side of the outhou,e.
Furtunately, however, the man was unhurt.
VoLosresa BAND.—Thanke to the strenuous efforts
of Bandmaster Miller, and of the bandsmen too, this
band I. now a credit to the corps. On Saturday even-
ing they Ityed a capital selection on the Common, and
It was • source of enjoyment toe large number of per-
sons, to whom music well played is a treat. We
regretted, however, this enjoyment was somewhat
rudely interrupted during the programme by a horse
and a well-known re ident charging through the band,
sending the music-stands and musicians too in all
directions. It we', we think, hardly worth the while
of the said gentleman to display his equestrian abilities,
at a time when such • large number of persons were
quietly enj ling themselves.
CHORAL reeTIVAL. The festival to be held at
Portland on Thursday, July 15th, promisee to be on
rather • large scale. It is expected that 400 voices
will take part, and as it is impossible to accommodate
this number within the congregation at St. Peter's, it
has been thought fit to divide the choirs into two
sections. one to be at St. Peter's and the other at the
Avalanche Memorial Church. Divine service will be
held simultane oi-ly at each church. At the former
the choirs will ha auonante4 by a band of string and
wind instrument,. mainly belonging to the bawl of
the 56th Regiment, and no doubt the effect of the
combination will be extremely fine. The Rev. Canon
Bsynes, late Vic a of Coventry, will be one of the
preachers.

WIDDINO.—The railway station on Wednesday was
quite gay with bunting, the occasion being the marriage

that day.

NAVAL BALL —On %Vedneaday afternoon the officers
Lf H.M.S. Hoscewen gave a ball on board their ship,
which was specially fitted up for the occasion. There
