NORWICH MUSICAL FILYTIVAL —NORWICH, MON-
DAY Emmet. —The general arrangements are now ouraplete,
and the committee may begin to anticipate some return for
their arduous labours. This morning there has been •
general rehearsal, Beer Nohow!' conducting his own oratorio,
Abraham. The other works rehearsed (under the direction
of Mr. Benedict) were portions of the Last Judgment, A. the
Hart Pants, and May Queen. The ball was
thrown open to the public at 10e. 6d. each. lot very few
peens were present ; among those who attended was Lord
Stafford. The sale of tickets is proceeding satisfactorily,
and, as far as one am judge from present apportions, the
festival seems likely to be pecuniarily successful. The list
of patrons includes all the leading members of the royal
family ; the president is the Earl of Leicester, Lortl.Lieu-
tenant of Norfolk. The seating of the hall has been
attended to with much care. The two wings which have
been added to the orchestra will provide nonaidenehleaddi-
ticoal accommodation for the performers, who, incleitliog of
mums the local chorus, are upwards of 400 strong ; hut
there will be no admiamone at Is.,u in former yews, except
for this evening's performance of the Creation, when the
greater portion of the seats will be thrown open unreserved
, at that price.
