BRADFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

The miscellaneous concert of Tuesday evening was
sot ably so well attended u the soared performance of that
morning, and there was a Sian*r shortcoming on Weekw
day morning, notwitistanding the curiosity excited by the
announcement of Costa's RR, performed for the first time
n Yorkshire. This unfavourable effect was partly issued
by tha bad weather, bat wily also by the seals of Ors of
admission, which is complained of aa being iojedisiouly
high, and beyond the means of tradespeople and inhabitants
of the town, who otherwise would have contributed to the
support of the festival.
The ;Informer of Tardily evening, though containing
little to suite the biases concert-goers of the metropolis,
was expellant, and well calculated for the gratification of •
tasteful sad intelligent provincial audience. The first part
of the concert began with lefosart's Symphony in 0 Mincers
admirably played and heartily applauded. MiasSberringto•

which ehs executed brilliantly. We have repeatedly had
erasion to nodes this clever young lady's love of display
end predilection for the French schooL "Cul
roee peon li," 'denied as it lA, nosived fresh chums
from her inimitable vocaliestioc; and Clara Novelle pa
forth all her powers in Weber's famous song frees
Canso, Ocean, thou mighty monster." A most brilliant
performance of the overture to the Oases Ladino closed the
diet part. The second was occupied by • new cantata
entitled Robin flood, composed by Mr. J. L. Hatton. It
consists of onse panages in the life of the outlaw of Sher-
wood thrown into a dramatic form, the Derseneges being
Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Little John, and the Bishop.
The mule, exiseediegly well sung by Sims Reeves, Mist
Milner, Mr. Wino, and Mr. Weise, is very animated,
with that agreeable old Beglish throw which in
fogad in some of Mr. Hatton's admirable ballads. It
was completely successful. Use third part—for thorn
