NV. C. T. lbeinell was evui better than last time in' The
I Umbrella Mender." and his encore song, "The Bold
Gendarme," was very gool ; so wax '' Mettsmary Jane,"
and the latter (the chorus of which puzzled the "cede" to
follow) being corona', he gave the much-noticed song,
The Scamp," but omitted the lines about which an
action was brought. Mr. Ifounsell's get-up and singing
are always good, and he is a great favourite with the
audience, from his genial style of addrms. " Mother says
I most " George, dos t," and "Awfully j,11y," were
sung In most amusing styli by a gentleman amateur who
lanai all over his hearty face, and who is always
weleume. His second encore song was "Act on the
Square," a didactic song vith too much chorus for the
words; but the amateurs capital singing and action made
it go well. Bro. W. R. P. Jeffery was very laughable in
•' Lord Lovell." and ". Itarltirs Allen," also in 'A c. den
think o' such a thing.' and he could have had any her
of encores; but wisely refrained, as the time was getting
late. In the place of honey, last, we must nient" a
young lady who sang very,inialfectedly "Beautiful Star,"
and "Won't you tell Inc. why, Rubio?" The lady's voice
was sweet; but her modesty prevented her pronouncing
the words so clearly as we could wi-li ; her singing, how-
err. was one of the gnait attractions of the e% ening,
and we cannot wish her confidence enough for the Iseinls.
Messrs. Jones's band played overturms and accompanied
with readiness singing of the most laried kind. During
the course of the entertainment Mr. Mainsail informed
the audience that it had been intended to make a pre-
sentation to Mr. Sharer, (former landlord of the Cooper's
Arnie, where one of the Courts held its meetings): but
Mr. Sherry was on unwell that they were obliged to post-
pone the presentation. They hoped to make the
presentation on Tuesday, December 8.

A dint of Glover's was replaced by "Oh !vett thou in
the cold blast," by Mr,. Stedman and Miss Tucker, the
first I lamed lady of cure sang with much t"telud power.
but the rendering by Miss Tucker took all by surprise;
she sang shit most perfect correctness, with deep feeliug

and sweet. A warm encore followed, and was gracefully

Arring.rr.—On Sunday night, the 15th inst., an accident
happened to a man named Cutler. of Poole. It appears
that he had been employed the previous day (Saturday) to
convey a load of furniture from Toole to Portland, was
returning to the former town, and stopped at the Rising
Sun, Winfrith, to feed his horses. After refreshing him-
self, he went to the stable, when a loaded gun, which had
been foolishly placed behind the door by some one, fell to
the ground and exploded. the charge severely woundiug
him in one of his feet. Ile was taken into the house, an
Mrs. Baker, the landlady, sent for Dr. Stirling, who
reside% in the village. Tliat gentleman quickly arrived,
and attended to Cutler's injuries, and he afterwards
resumed his journey. Much sympathy was shown him,
and we are glad to hear since that he is doing well.

ably sung.
The next piece waa one of the min.ri=es—a moat agree-
able one: Miss Tucker sang " I murmur not, (Sir Julius
Benedict). Her voice is a splendid soprano, some of the
notes being wonderfully sweet, and she sang with
the feeling of • true musician, dwelling with
evident enjoyment on sonic of the pamegm, •
delight which her audience fully shared. She
was encored, and repeated the song with equal
success. Miss Tucker needs very little to enable
her to outshine very many professionals, and the
principal feeling of the listeners, after that of pleasure at
such • treat, was that of wonder that Miss Tucker had
not conic to the front long before. lier debut was the
more gracefully timed, as being for a charity ; but we
hope to have the opportnnity of hearing her again very
often.

CIIARITAULE CONCERT AT WET3IoUTII.

The Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms were kindly lent on
Wednesday evening last, by Mr. Lumi, for a concert by
the choir uf Holy Triuity Church, in behalf of the widow
awl family of the late Mr. Watta, who was • member of
the choir.

The wiatther wail extremely imfavourable, the rain
being heavy and cold at the time, while a chilly wind
blew; but the room was about threaquarters full, the
excellence of the object attracting sympathy. Had the
musical public foreknown how good the concert was going
to be, even more would have suiseilibled, for not only were
the pieces throughout rendered very well, but we were
gratified at n.itieing the rise of at lead iice musical star
of the first magnitude, while another might almost have
claimed the first rank. These were, MIA. Tucker, whose
Gem isppearance as a soprano amateur singer was • must
triumphant sues-era, and Mr. lllan,Uord, whose tenor
voice places him very high in the second rank, probably
firat, as an amateur.
The 11110 commenced with liatton's part song

and heartily applauded.
