MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT MARKET iLinnonoucff.

The performances commenced with " The Messiah, '
in which Messrs. Braham, Tinney, ('unnington, Wood,
Master Barker, Miss Travis, and a Miss Hughes (wbo
made her appearance in public for the first time), took the
most conspicuous part. The performance of this sublime
piece, by Handel, occupied between three and four hours,
and was, on the whole, very ably executed, as well by the
vocal as by the instrumental performers. It would occupy
more time and space than we can afford to give a critical
account of it. To such vocclists as Bra am or Miss
Travis it is unncemary to say a word of panegyric. The
talents of both are too well known and appreciated to re-
quint it. Of the third principal singer, however, we can-
not resist the opportunity of saying a word or two. Miss
Hughes (for such we understand is the name of the lady
who was announced anonymously) excited the universal
admiration and astonishment of all present. Judging. front
the compass of voice, blended with sweetness of tone and the
powers of execution which she displayed, we should say
that she gives a promise that at no distant period she will
rank second to none of her profession in the kingdom. In
" Rejoice greatly" she was most excellent, and evinced a
confidence in her powers which is seldom witnessed in SJ
young a performer. Mr. Tinney (of the oratorios at Drury..
lane and Covent-garden) is a singer of a resrctable class,
and acquitted himself very satisfactorily. Master Barker
sang in his usual pleasing style. Miss Hewitt presided at
the organ, and the whole was under the superintendence of
Mr. Watson, of London. The Concert at the Town-Hall,
in the evening, went off equally well, and was very fully
attended. Next day (Tuesday) proving more favourable,
the attendance at the Church, to hear a ti,declion of Sacred
Music, was much greater than on Monday. The second
Concert, at the Town-Hall, in the evening, was also ex-
tremely will supported, so that we hope Master Barker
will be compensated fur the treat which he has been tie-
means of giving to the spirited inhabitants of the respect-
able town of Harborough and its neighbourhood.—Lcices.
ter Chronicle.—EMiss Hughes, the young lady mentioned
in the above account, possesses, we understand, a must ex-
traordinary power and compass of voice, in addition to n
good figure. She is now diligently prosecuting her musical
studies mulct the able tuition of Mr. Watson, of Covent-
garden Theatre, previously to tor debut at nneof the Win-
ter Houses. She cannot have a better master.]

FENEE Al OF THE LATE LORD RIRRIESHALL—The
remains of this amiable and lamented Nobleman were, or
Saturday, the 20th of September, deposited in the famil
vault, in the church of Gisburne. It was the particular
request of the late Lard, that his funeral should be as pti-
vate as possible, and that his corpse should be carried oil
foot by his own tenants, from the house to the church.
This, owidg to the long distance through the park, and tha
great weight of the coffin, was a matter of some difficulty,'
and the tenants n lin'ved each other by relays of ten each.
A large concourse of people were assembled, who, by their
tears and respectable demeanour, demonsttated the feelings
of affection they entertained towards the deceased Noble-
man, who irld teen to them, during a long period of veva,
a kind and liberal landlord, and a friendly and unassuming
neighbour.—Lecds Intelligenccr.
