FRANCE.

M. de Persigny, _Minister of the Interior, left Paris
on Thursdry, to meet the President at Roanne, and
accompany him to Lyons. M. de Maupas is to quit
the Prince at Roanne, and to return to Paris on
Sunday. M. Fortoul is to join him at Lyons, and to
follow him as far as Bordeaux.
M. Ducos, the Minister of Marine, sailed from
Havre on Monday morning last, and arrived in
Cherbourg the same afternoon. He was saluted by
the guns of the citadel, and proceeded immediately
to the maritime prefecture, where the Prefect and
Rear-Admiral Guillois were waiting to receive him.
On Tuesday M. Ducos visited C herbourg thoroughly.
The town offered him a dinner in the afternoon, at
which one hundred guests sat down to table. The
Mayor of Cherbourg having proposed M. Ducos's
health, he replied in the following terms :
" Yes, Monsieur le Maire, yes, gentlemen, I shall
repeat to his Highness the President the expression,
so well felt and so well delivered, of the sentiments of
affection, of devotedness, and of gratitude, which have
found so worthy an interpreter amongst you. Yes,
You are right to elevate your homages to the lofty
region where the Chief of the State appears to
you. It is, in fact, from him that the initiative
emanates, and after having saved France from the
horrors of anarchy, he now gives a new impulse to the
pacific development of our naval force, with all the
activity and all the resolution of his genius. He delights
in your magnificent port, created by the great man of
modern times. He loves and honours the French navy,
because he has ever in his mind the brilliant deeds
accomplished at Navarino and the Tagus, at Mogador
and at Algiers, at St. John d'Ulloa and the
Obligado, because he knows that the destiny of
nations may one day be decided in the great game of
sea-fights. Let us respond to his patriotic instincts in a
manner worthy of him and of ourselves. Let us give
him , all the gratitude and devotedness we possess. I
propose to you a toast which will be sympathetic—' To
the Chief of the State, whom I tell you we shall one day
call the restorer of the French navy. To the prosperity
and greatness of Cherbourg."'

This speech and toast are said to have produced an
immense effect, and to have been followed by five
distinct rounds of applause.
At half-past eight o'clock in the morning of the
15th, the ship of the line Austerlitz, of 100 guns,
was launched at Cherbourg in the presence of the
Minister of Marine and of an immense multitude of
spectators. The Minister afterwards visited the
steamer Pbcenix, the school-frigate Licorne, and the
frigates Prevoyanto and Expeditive. He subse-
quently embarked for Havre, and arrived last night
in Paris.

HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
THURSDAY MORNING.—The remainder of the oratorio
of St. Paul was equally successful with the first part, a
Herrbrief notice of which was transmitted yesterday.
Formes's magnificent singing of the bass solo,
especial men-
tion "Consume
them all," was exceedingly effective; b
lion should be made of Miss Williams's performance of
P
the lovely aßut the Lord is mindful;"e it was truly
unaffected and devotional, and was never more pleasingly
executed. The sublime chorus, "Arise,th shine," was one
of the best choral performances of
Formes's reading of the prayer, ur, e morning. Herr

given. this oratorio abouLds were all well

Spobr's oratorio The Last Judgment formed the second
part of the programme. The instrumental accompani-
ments, in which Spohr stands so pre-eminent, were
beautifully played, with is delicacy and crispness which
evinced the real pleasure the members of the orchestra
felt in portraying the original and intricate effects in-
tended by the author; while the principal vocalists vied
with each other in a faithful rendering of the text of
this awfully sublime subject. Mrs. Endersobn and Mr.
Luckey sang the duet " Forsake me not." The guar-
tett, " Blest are the departed," was repeated; it was sung
by Mrs. Endersohn, Miss Williams, Mr. Lockey, and
Mr. Phillips. The chorusses, " Destroyed is Babylon,"
and the concluding one, " Great and wonderful," were
Equally well executed. The collection at the doors
amounted to 1431., being a decrease of only one pound
upon the receipts after the similar performance last
festival.
TRURSDA.Y EVENING.—The concert-room was crowded
to excess, the audience numbering between five and six
hundred. It opened with Mendelssohn's symphony in
A major, well played, followed by two four-part songs.
by J. L. Hatton, for the chorus; the first, called " Twi-
light," is graceful and pleasing, but the burden of " The
Tar's song" is very nigger like, and most decidedly unfit
fcr a concert-room; it would find a hearty welcome on
board ship. Two glees by the " Union," " Blow, gentle
gales," and " Ye spotted snakes," were as warmly re-
ceived as they were exquisitely performed; the former
was accompani:.d by the pianoforte and a kettledrum!
The performances of the talented " Union " do not re-
quire the aid of clap-traps to create an effect; in addition
to which, Mr. Chipp bestowed such an unmerciful blow
on his instrument as to startle every one in the room,
so that the effect produced was at least astonishing. Mr.
Lockey sang a MS. song by J. L. Hatton very chastely;
it is a pretty composition, and was well received.
Madame Novello sang two Scotch songs, " Bonnie Prince
Charlie" and "My heart is sair for somebody," without
an accompaniment; she was rapturously encored. The
National Anthem concluded the performances for tho
evening concert; and a ball well attended closed the
proceedings for the day.
Per Day MORNING.—The cathedral was again crowded
to bear the everlasting Messiah. No remarks need
be offered on the performance of the several parts;
every one concerned entered con amore upon their duties.
Altogether it was an excellent performance.
The results of the festival cannot be accurately stated, but
they will not be very unfavourable, as the attend-
ances during the last few performances have been very
good,
called andthe gentlemen officiating as stewards will not
upon to make up any great deficiency in the
expenses.
