MUSIC.

CANTERBURY HALL.

This agreeable resort of the musical amateurs con-
tinues lamely to attract that numerous section of the public
who sre amble or unwilling to gratify the taste which has
mow becems almost a passion at the more expensive concerts
ea the other ids of the water. From an originally humble
public-host" where the mechanics of the neighbourhood
played skittles and drank beer, the enterprising proprietor,
Mr. Morton, has not only succeeded in raising an edifice, the
extent and splendour of which afford a wonderful proof of
the speculative courage of the age, but gives nightly within
its walls a musical entertainment which would not ram

much by comparison with the mere ambitious programmes
, of the west-end. Mr. Augustus Braham, who has hem m-
oistly engaged In addition to the regular &tarot the eitshilith-
meat, nightly rises In public estimation. The performance
of that very promisingand rising young vocalist, Mias Rama,
also deserves a hearty word of commendation. Mr. Mackney,
principal comfit vocalist, is also a great favourite. To the ordi-
nary attractioos of the ball the proprietor has just added the
unique performance of Mr. Woodhouse on the new regula-
tion drum. Mr. Woodhouse, who hes frequently played
before her Majesty, and has been honoured by a condesoind-
ing intimation of the royal approbation, continues, merely
with the aid of his rather monotonous instrument, and •
very flosilas pair of elbows, to give the his an admiral*
Mee of all the vicimitudes of a beetle, mending the beating
to qaerliera, the preparatory skirmishing, tie attack, and the
rotate at the victorious troops. Not least amongst the'
attractions of the hall is • very extensive and valuable
Picture Gallery. The musical arrangements are under the
judicious management of Mr. Jongmans. The ball fills
nightly to the doors, and the proprietor, Mr. Morton, is bide.
fatigable In hie attention to his patrons, and personally
soperinteeids the whole arrangement.
