"Aye Maria," and the quartette, " Mess° Nett*" (Mute)
Perhaps nothing but Peonies instrument can ewer do
full justice to the matchless "Carnival," yet did Signor
Bertormini exhibit wonderful power over his fete,
and we could not help thinking be delerved
the very best instrument that could be obtained,
In order to do justice to hie skill, for the tones he
drew forth from • very unpretending flute were quite
delicious. Anticipating a little, we may say that so
excellent was S. Bertoncini when he took the fiddle and
bow that we should mach like to hem him render the
Carnival with the violin, when the hearty applause that
greeted his flautist performances would be even exceeded.
Miss Bertha Frost's appearance on the platform was
greeted with very hearty applause, and she immediately
repaid it by singing Bend's polecat (Puritan') with well!
tuned and most flexible voice, ranging from the simply
melodious chords to most artistic gram-notes, showing
how well she had trained her remarkable voice. The
encore was decided, and the archly gave "Gina body meet
• body' with florid embellishments that showed much
power. When Messrs Traverser and J. Lynde were heard
in Flotow's duet "Solo Prof ago" (Martia), it was gratafeing
to And the bees was more satisfactory than is often the
can, while Kr. Trivernes deserves all his reputation for
his tenor, the low notes of which were remarkably good;

very enjoyable. A severe test for any contralto Is
Ballad's "Three Fishers." yet Madame Joyce Maas was
successful in the majority of her lines, and probably this
song went as straight to the hearts of the audienee
as any in the list. Though we have heard "The
wrack It came rolling up, ragged and brown," sung
with more suggestive expresMon, her "Men most
work and women must weep,' and " Good bye
to the btu and Its moaning." was each a triumph of
splendid voice, deep expreadon, and artistic execution.
Being encored, she responded with • pleasing song. Mr.
Lynde had • good opportunity to dirt:day his powerful bass
In" Salve Maria," and was very satisfactory, though he
succeeds eery better in harmony with another voice; still
he is decidedly bettor than bau.singers in general.
Brahaues—"The Anchor's Weighed. was • triumph for
Kr. Traverner, and one could not be glad that Benham
had strained the description of the partiag beyond likeli-
hood, for we thereby were able longer to listen to M.
Traverner's delightful tenor his expression throushoot
was first-rate, especially in "My honour calls." Deservedly
enured, Mr. Trimmer essayed that critical test of tenors

two, Miss ro was more arch, and aas Mme. M the

and she even sorprised the audience by some of the effects
produced. The imitation of the singer at heaven's gate
were, we may almost say, unexpected, al.li nigh Miss
Frost in so favourably krown. A y,ptoreos encore was
the result, and she ag.in delighted awl surprie.4 be beg

wisely, substituted 'The Pilgrim of Love," by which be

is tick round mid full, and he was able well to sustain

Mr. Treberne, a ml

that just as the steamer commenced to move he

afterwards he saw the boat come bottom upwards
under the stern of the steamer. At the Iliac Mr.
ri`reherne said the paddle of the steamer had not

In the water, and ran to the other end of the pier and
called for boats. The small boat was fully 40 yards
frnm the steamer, and had anybody been on the-look-
out be must have seen it.
In reply to the Coroner, the witness said he saw
the boat corning fully five minutes before the accident.
He was positive no whistle was blownbefore the start.
leg of the strainer, and he was equally certain the
captain could have seen the boat as clearly as he could
himself.
Mr. Trevanion asked the witness how he could
szplsin his last awertion, and Mr. Treberoe said be-
cause the boat was 40 yards away, and the difference
iu height would not have prevented him doing so. He
would not say the captain was not looking, but be was
grossly neglecting his duties if he Was.
In answer to Mr. Tracey, he said even if the small
boat be I kept on its coarse he believed the stern or
starboard paddle-box of the steamer would have caught
her.
Questioned by Mr. Preston, witness admitted that
although he saw the dangerous proximity of the boat
he did coil out to the captain. and could not ssiogine
why ke did not.
Mr. Brie Bruce, who was on the pier at the time,
deposed he heard no signal-whistle given by the
stesm-r. What Wrack him most was the rapid pace
at which it stared.
Mr. Jno. S. Reif., of Islington, a visitor to Swan-
age, huppened to be on board the Florence, but did not
see anything of the accident until it had occurred.
He did not hear the whistle of the steamer blown, but
it Was possible the wind blew the sound away.
The I 'roomier intimated the jury required facts, and
not a jestification of anyone's conduct.
The witness WPI accordingly allowed to leave with-
out further questioning.
Mr. Gooderidge, a draper's assistance. and Mr.
Thomas Jones, another assistant, give evidence, but
it was not material, except so far that they themselves
had seen the boat previous to the collision, and thought
others might have done the same.
Mrs. Sarah Tomkins, a paseenser on board the
Florence, hoard the whistle blown five minutes before
starting, but no further signal afterwards.
Mr. David Sydenbam was also on board, but did not
hear any whistle sounded just prior to starting. The
Florence be said, was • very rapid boat, answering to
i engines mmedietely. She went out at her usual
speed, and had nearly her length clear of the pier
before there was • cry of "stop her."
Mr. Henry Cutler, the uncle of the man in charge
of the boat, was re-called, and, in reply to a question
from the coroner as to whether or not he would like to
say anything, he sail his nephew was perfectly com-
pstent to have taken the boat home, although two men
could have done it more comfortably. He believed
the injuries to the bat were caused by the paddle.
Hai he been in the same position of his nephew he
dil not know what he shonld have down. He might
have gone on or be might have turned round. (Cutler
turned r•und, he said )
The Coroner then summed up Ins brief reemeril of
the evidence, drawing attention, however, particularly
to the testimtmy given by Mr. Treherne. At the con-
clusion he told the jury if they thought the deaths had
been t cautioned from the culpable negligence of the
contain in not keeping • proper look-out, they were
bound to find him guilty of manslaughter.
The jury retired for half-anshour, and, on their
return, said they found the accident was caused by an
insufficient hook-out on board the Fl trence.
The Coroner then put to the jury the question who
was responsible for that itooksout.
The jury again retired for halfsaubuer, and on their
return replied the captain.
The Ccroner said that must be taken as a verdict of
marslaughter against Captain Robertson.
He was accordingly committed for trial at the next
Winchester Assizes, but bailed in his own surety of
£lOO and two 1:50 each.
