OwThursday last the Society called the Nev
:Musical Fund, for type Benefit of their Decayed
ikiembers, their Widows and Orphan), celebrated,
their T‘venty-eighth Anntial Concert, and We
heartily congratulate them on their*teCess. The
house %v as completely overflowing in every part at
an early hour (with the exception of some prirate
property boxes, which the Proprietors had not the
liberality to give up for the use of this Charity,
although they did not occupy them). On the
drawing up of the eartain,..swe' were agreeably
surprised by the elegant, a'ppearance of the Or-,
chestra, which contained near two hUndred vocal
and instrunieutal Performers, selected from the
Opera Band Concert of Ancient Music, the Vocal
Concert, &c. tic. The novelties of the evening
were Madame MARtoNt, ,Mr. LEONARD, Miss
GAUTHEROT, Mr. B. ROMBERG, and Messrs.
SCIIIINCKE.---Matlatpe MARCONI ' posesses great
compass of voice (nearly ,three., octaves), has a
fine rich deeptontratenor voice : she ,sung with
great feeling and expression, :and was Fleservedly
encored. Mr. LEONARD (who, we understand,
has sung at the Drttr,y-Lane Oratorios) has a
sweet voice ; he sung with feulitig and judgment.
Madame CATALAN' (the unrivalled favourite of
the town) sung in her usual style of excellence,
atid was rapturously encored. Mrs. Dici;aNs
.sung The Soldier tir'd with great spirit and neat-
ness ,ofexecution, and was deservedly encored,
as also in a charming Duet with BeAtrAm, front.
Narinsky. We never heard BRAHMA more impres-
siVe than in his song Of "'Alfred in the Neatherd's
Cottage." .TRAMEZZANI, the favourite. Sieger at
the Operaill ouse, run;,; in hisAts'uttl chaste style, with
much judgment aud taste; and Was aesetvedly ap-
4:landed. Miss GAUTHEROT '(we believe a pupil
of Mr. P.J. MsYea, jun.)`acquitted herself, on the
Harp, with much execution and taste. Mr. B.
ROMBERG, on the •Violoncello, performed with
wonderfUl execution and taste ,(we believe extent-
pornry) ; he excels most in the deep tones of the
instrument, and, with the exception of our oldia-
vourite,Ll.NDLEY, we think him one (tithe greatest
Performers ever remembered in this Country.—
Messrs. SCHUNCKE'S Concertante on the Horns
was a most delightful performance ; their execu-
tion in the cromatie ,tones was wonderful, their
ititonation sweet and harmonious, and they are
certainly the,hest Performers we have ever heard.
Mr. CRAMER lett the Band with his usual spirit,
and Sir GEO. SMART conducted at the'Organ and
Forte-Piano with great judgmeot, and the whole
of the Performers, actuated with ore titnpulse,
exerted themselves with hearty good will in the
cause of their distressed brethren.—We might not
to conclude without a commendatory notice of
the Treasurer, Mr. SMART, whose assiduity
aunt attention were.particularly observablethrough-
out the performance.

About six weeks since, a lad of the name of Rex,
about: 12 years of age, whose parents reside in
Newport-street, Southsea, was bitten in the cheek
•
by yearg were expressed at the time,,that
the a
animalg was mad, and the event has proved
that those suSpicions were too well founded, for
shortly afterwards the youth was seized with sym7
toms of hydrophobia, which'continued gradually
to increase till Sunday last, when he expired
in a west shocking state. We are concerned to
learn, that two am' persons, who were bitten by
the same dog, are now labourin,, under evuleut
sytnpidnis of hydronhobia, one of them in so via-
'lent a degree that very little hope is entertained
of his,recovery. •

A _kitten,: with two heads, has been this week
produced by a cat belonging to Mr. Pullen, of
Winchester it is now alive and well, and deented

and two o>ngues, but only two ears.
