LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM" NNIVERSARY
Dirisaa.—Henry Altsopp, Emq.' the senior- member of
the highly distinguished firm of Messrs. A,..lsopp and
Sons, brewers, Burton-on-Trent, has consente d to take
the chair at the approaching anniversary festival of the
above institution. The fete will take place to%,va.-ds the
latter end of May. s
AaIMUNITION FOR THE TURKISH CONTINGENT.—Dor, ug
the past few days a vast quantity of stores and amm,Ani-
tion for the Turkish contingent in the Crimea, includiL'g
no less than 3,000 tons of the newly invented shells '
have been deposited for shipment on the premises of
Orsi and .A.rtnani the depot for Javel Mannie, at Old
Shot Tower-wharf, Lambeth. The shells are taken in
barges down the river to Woolwich, where they are
charged with the combustible material, prior to trans-
mission to the Crimea.

OLD ENGLISH AND PATRIcTIC SONGS.—Among the
most attractive of the numerous attractions offered at the
Polytechnic Institution is the musical lecture by Mr. G.
Buckland, with vocal illustrations of old English and
patriotic songs. Of the five songs which Mr. Buckland
sings, " Stand to your guns " is, to our mind, the most
powerfully rendered. His audience seemed to prefer
" The Old Politician," in which there is much scope for
dramatic action and mimetic display—of both of which
qualities Mr. B. is a master. We know no vocalist who
combines so conlpletely the excellences of a sweet yet
powerful singer, and that perfect knowledge of his art
which can alone enable him to turn his voice to good
account. We hope yet to see him as popular in the
London concert room, and on its platforms, as he already
is throughout the provinces.
