rosz SAN MOLT NOSPITLL.

A letter was remised from Mr. T. A. Hanna, clerk,
who enclosed • resolution of the Authority. It will be
remembers I that the hospital was bath at the joint cost
of Weymouth, Portland, Rsdipole, and Wyk., and while
it is • costly and very capacious and commodious building,
fortunately no cafes have occurred to require its occupa-
tion. The Authority therefore had resolved on the propo-
sition of Mr. Robens, seconded by Mr. Snook. " That the
Hospital be utilised for other than Port Sanitary purposes
by payment of £3 3e. per week for I 4 class patients, and
SI lei per week for itnd clams patients, and that • copy
of this resolution be supplied to each Health Authority in
the Union, and to each msdical gentleman resident
therein, arid who are hereby permitted to attend their own
patient.
Mr. ROM's =Planed that supposing a on.. of small-
pox occurred here, it could be removal to this hospital,
where it could be properly treated, and this would be the
very beet war to prevent mischief.
The MAYOR said the Council don't want to iaterfere
with the Port Sanitary. Leave them to manage their own
affairs.

Mr. CURTIS was willing to stm four hears.

.-
Mr. Lonnie, cons daring this question involved so much
of the future of Weymouth side, dad not think they could
now give it the attention it so much required. The
alteration at Chapelry was not sufficiently an improve-
ment to justify £1,750 being laid out there, beside toe
purchase of property.
COST OP COKPOISATION.

Mr. Roams found that in 13, 11, 15, 16, 17. 18, 19 and
90, of the imprivement plans, no estimate was given of
the cost of compensation. Here was no amount of
expenses proposed to be incurred, without knowing what
expmses are behind.
The Surveyor said the unestimated expenses were only
of compensation to occupiers, say for bus.ness disturb.

Mr. Dims, who said he was an enthusiast for the
approach to Rod well and Wyge,and believed Chao-airy steps
are a disgrace to the 12th century, proposed "That the
consideratioa of the Chapeihty alterations le poetpoted,
and that a committee be appeint-rd for the following
purposes :-11t. To consid.r and report upon the

GRAND CONCERT-SIGNOR FOLI GIVES AN
ENCORE.

One of the most fashionable concerts we hove had
in Weymouth for a long time past was that given by
our spirited cater d• for connoisseurs, Mr. Wheeler, and
Mr. Webb, who had combined to rs—mgage Signor
Fell and his talented party, including Miai May, •
most litaaing soprano. Miss Marian Mackenzie,
contrilio with it rich fruity voice, Mr. Bernard Lane,
an agitio;ble tenor, and Ar. Farley Sinking, bass, with
that rAnaritable vi itoucello•player. Mons. Albert, who
bids for to take the highest rank eventashy in he
line of music, with Miss /Landegger, whose perform.
anoes on the pinuoforte were worthy of that great
name, sun that is surely saying enough. Of course
sqvior Foil was the lion of the evening, and the
' tremendous energy with which the deopest bass in the
kingdom semis out his songs, was undiminished while
the Signor was so far in a gracious mood that in
response to one of the most determined encores we
have ever heard, and which hated many minutes, he
obliged his applauders after what seemed quite a
struggle betwe u their endurance and his, with an
encore song- -"True till Death" the song encored
having been DiehTs—"Dear England." The anthem»
was very large, and the reserved seats, to which as
unusually great proportion of the Royal Hotel
Assembly Rooms was devoted, were absolutely full.
Part!, commenced with Macfarren's " Troubadour,"
rung by the ladies and Mr. F. Sinking, very
satisfactorily ; but Mr. Barnard 1.4114) was probably
received with greater warmth for his most feels
lug rendering of Blumenthal's " Massage " which
&reused lode a sympathy in the (Made of the
audience. Mies ilendegger then gave the
" Grande Polonaise." an crisply, brilliantly, and
with such thorough offshandedness and confidenoe, as
were delightful to mark, running through the most
intricate and swiftest passages as only a great pianist
can. The first song given by Signor Foli was
Fiusuti's idea of a Bedvin making love, and he buried
his inaguificient vol.* into exProming the grand passion
with a furors that certainly expresso I some iif the
impetuosity of the wild Arab. One hardly knew
which t admire mod, the torrent rush of potation, or
the grandeur of some low notes, approachable with
some difficuliy by moat except Signor /rod himself.
Of curse he was recalled. Toe coutraat afforded
by Miss Mary Davies' singing of "Ito., softly blew.
lug" (iipohr) was itself delightful • her voice is clear
as silver, and the grace-11,4es cha!mingly given with
great power of eudriumg them. Alas Macenzie
gave Gounod's " Quandu a te lieta," accompanied by
Miss Raudeggar on the piano, and Mons. Albert,
violoncello obligati,; it need not be said thie perform-
Anne warn worthy of the closest and most appreciative
attention, while criticism WM defied.
Mr. Farley Singular in a fine martial frenzy, gave
Pinsuti's " Warrior,' and was sunoeseful, although
suffering from comparison with the great bias singer.
Brilliancy, and extreme delicacy in contrast, marked
the playing of Mons. Albert, in Dunker's rerantelle,
musicians listening charmed to the production of
effects usually reserved for the violin.
Signor Fob again poured out • startling torrent in
S. Adams's "Viking's Song," reminding us forcibly of
the turbulent spirit of those old pimp the infusion
of whose dauntless blood no doubt helped Englishmen
to dare and do against the might o Spain. If the
Vikings were given to singing, we can fancy they
would have sent forth their songs not more energeti-
cally than S. Foli, though probably their voices would
have been like the croaking of ravens compnred to the
artist's musical bass. _ _

Not without art was Pinsuti's delightful part-acing,
"Th. Parting Kiss," here introduced, with an
independence of the programme's arrangement that
put the audience on the qui vine. lf.sch singer con-
tributed to the harmony as was due, and left the
audience restfully pleased at the end of the first part.
The second part was by no means in accordance with
the order of the programme, commenciug with a moat
dainty little son, A summer Shower," by Miss
Mary Davies. The lady sing it most briskly and
gracefully, and toe great beauty of her TOiC3 was
enhanced by that distinctly prod nu gift—a clear pro-
aoudad in of the wo.da. She took the =dimes
utterly by storm, and a j 'you/ encore followed, and
would not be denied, when she further set herself in
the esteem of the *adieu°e by repeating with pretty
archness, pert of the song, which was one of the gems
of the evening.
Mons. Albert again proved that tte violoncello
could be made to play • very tender romance without
words (Golterman's), and his gavotte (by S. Lee) was
exceedingly brilliant.
Mr. Bernard Lane was successful in IL Parker's
"Three Tokens;" but almost immediately was for-
gotten when taignur Foil thundered out Diehl's "Dear
England," the effect of which was almost indescri4able.
If Kouteki was the lion of the pianoforte, Foil is
certainly the Konteki of the bass voice. The applause
was terrific, for minutes those claimed to have ears fit
to hear anything less than a carmen were obliged to
close them, while the clapping, stamping, and encoring
grew into a storm that manned determined to rival the
energy of -4. Full himself. For a long time it was
doubtful whether the self-respecting singer would
break his rule and yield; but there seemed no chance
of the concert pr Kieeding, since the noise was continued
by relays of applauders, who relieved each other in •
way that promised not to give in. Whether Mr. Rowe
had reason to approve the effect on his flax is doubt-
ful, and c•rtain it is that if the applauders could have
. . . . . .

been heard in a Perla= theatre tietir.-- efforts would Lin

-----
hem the envy of professional claqueurs. At last 8.
Foli condescended toeing "True Till Death," scarcely
alkri g his style in favour of the pathos of the song,
and again proving himself a specialist in this way. Of
course he received another ovation, the audience being
well satisfied at having gained an exception on their
behalf.
Yet did not the Interest of the concert languish, for
I.lfias Randegger proved herself equally capable,
whether she played the brillimit musical fireworks of
Chopin's grand waltz, or gave us the dell,ious musical

utte.rance; of Bach'S-kievato,-sweeilittl;-I;i—b-blrnits--up
of harmony from the river of musical brightness.
Mi. Si. Mackenzie again displayed her beautiful
contralto in White's "Loving and 'Prue," sod sang it
fully as well as the sing deserved.
Mr. F. Siukins essayed that grand old composition
of Shield's "The Wolf," which was worthy of being
given by Signor Foil, and possibly the lighter bass of
Mr. F. Sinkins would be as well adapted for a less
pretentiou. style.
Chophin's grand duo "Polonaise" was rendered by
Miss /Landegger and Mona. Albert, and again was the
very favourable verdict on these two musicians con-
firmed; the violoncello playing should be heard by all
who aspire to quiver the bow.
Miss Mackenzie and Mr. Bernard Lane appropri-
ately closed the concert with Barnett's duet—" The
Parting flour," and the audience rose delighted, and
longing for the next.
