UTILIZ7ItO TRII NAVIN or THE CATHEDIULL —Some
Interesting experiment& were made on the after-
noon of Easter Monday in Winchester Cathedral
at the cleat) of Divine Sorel's., with a view to I
testing the espabillties of its extensive nave for the
purposes of public worship upon a led* of somewha,
unusual magnitude. It has been arranged, with the
sanction of the Bishop and the permission a the Dean
and Chapter, to hold there on June 5. general festival
of trained parochial thole' from all parts of Hampshire,
The aloha are to unite in celebrating two seniors of
the simplest musical description, and will be addeseed
at the close of each by an eminent preacher. Th.-
number of singes* on this oecasioc, Ills expected, will
be between 800 and 900, and with the assembled *segre-
gation it is not unlikely the entire amount of those
preexist may reach to as many as 3,000 penman A
practical obstacle in the construction of the nathedral
appeared Ilkley, however. to Interfere with the sumer
of this interesting undertaking. The nave, which is
oes of the llama in England, isnot off from its own choir
by a aline and lofty stone screen, which to the eye
entirely shuts in that put of ehe building, and at some
within which the grand organ stands,
Nothing of less power than an instrument of this class
would auffice to accompany to largu • number of volue•
, and therefore it was essential to ascertain, beyond
uncertainty, mother it would be possible to sing in the
1 nave to the mimic of the great organ within the screen,
where the position of the player and his distance from
the singers would be such as almost to pleas him, as it
' were, In. different edifice from them. Asm ex perisomit,
therefore, the choir of the Cathedral were posted In
different parts of the nave to test this, under the direction
of the Rev. the Precentor, and Dr. Arnold, the organist
After some attempt., which served to prove the actual
difficulty of the matter, upon the suggestion of Dr.
Arnold, the Cathedral choir was divided into two bodies.
One body of the singers was placed upon the summit of
the stone saran, which is seated over, sod lam enough
to social's ICO while the other portico of the
choir remained n the nave below. A direct system of
intereommuniestion was thus established between Ow
groat organ within sad the voices without, and tie
experiment proved eminently successful. The Arch
demon and several of those connected with the under-
taking were preeest, It will add greatly to the intereut
of this festival that the larger number of those who
will take part in the celebration are the children of du-
agrisultural labourers in various parts of the county,
and. in many cams, front its remotest villages ; more
the. 500 of such ohildseu gathered chiefly from small
country schools will be present.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF PORTLAND.

To de &Wars.

The letter of "A Portlander, " which appeared
in your last issue, has given the most entire satis-
faction to the residents in all parts of the island.
Your correspondent hit the right nail on the head
when he pointed oat how those great bleseinp,
good water and a thorough system of drainage, might
be obtained without further burdening the already
highly taxed rate-payers, but the thing is far
more easily laid than dons ,unless the people
make a long poll, a strong pull, and a pull altogether.
That the most •'crying " nuisances will shortly be
removed, there is no doubt. The subject has been
discluned by the Board of Guardians, who will be
bound to act. The Board can employ their own
Surveyor to order what is imperatively neoessary
to be done, and levy a rate on the inhabitants to
defray the expenditure. Now I would ask, would
it not be mu better that the inhabitants them-
selves should agree to carry out the affair under
the superintendence of a oommittee appointed by
themselves? Surely there is enough engineering
skill on the island without foreign
aid, to carry out all that is required. But then,
I know It might be mid, the inhabitants them-
soiree cannot levy • rate—it must be done by
constituted authorities, namely, the Board of
Guardians. This is true, but if the inhabitant,
were agreed, they might memorialise the Govern-
ment for permission to apply the " Grant Money, •
that is, the money received from Government for
the sale of land and the royalty on the stone quer-
Tied—for. the purpose of drainage and a water
supply, and otherwise improving the sanitary oon-
dal= of the island. There is no doubt that
Government would give its permission, and in all
probability, render the inhabitants other very
material aid in carrying out the reforms so greatly
needed. At all events, the subject is worthy the
coosiderstion of all who desire the prosperity of the
island. -
