HEREFORD GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
The performance, on Thursday morning, at the Cathedral,
excited a considerable degree of interest, from the circumstance
of a new Oratorio, called Crucifixion, to be performed for the
first time, composed by Dr. CLARKE WHITFIELD, Organist
of the Cathedral, and Professor of , Music at the University of
Cambridge, and we believe the unprecedented circumstance of
such an attempt out of the Metropolis. The result proved most
highly flattering to the Doctor, whose abilities as. a composer
are well known to the musical world and the public at large;
of course no approbation is permitted in a place of worship.
The Overture had three movements; the middle one was a most
delightful Fugue.—The whole of the music was most scientifi-
cally and appropriately adapted to the words of the Divine
event of the Crucifixion, of which the Oratorio consists. The
solos and verse contain most admirable melodies, although
upon such an awfully sublime, yet tragic event ; they were
given with very fine effect by iss Stephens, Miss D. Travis,
Mr. Vaughan, Mr. W. Knyvett, and Mr. Bellamy, particu-
larly a Solo by Mr. Vaughan, sen. and a Duet between him and
Mr. Knyvett. The Choruses were admirable, and in the style
of Handel. 'One of them in a novel manner of expression, in
imitation of the crowd calling to Pilate for the crucifixion of our
Saviour. The whole of it was not performed, but only sufli-
dent to constitute the first part of theperformance. The second
part consisted of a selection from the Creation, in which Mr.
Bellamv's fine full-toned bass voice was heard to great advan-
tage in the Recitation ; and Mrs. Salmon was, as usual, de-
lightful in " With Verdure Clad." In the third part Mr. W.
Knyvett's Coronation Anthem was performed. The admired
Duet; " The Lord is a Man of War," was most admirably
sung by Mr. Bellamy and Mr. Rolle. Miss Stephens gave the
Solo leading into the " Horse and his Rider" with most rap-
turous power of voice. The Cathedral was well filled.—The
Shire Hall was again filled in the evening.—The Concert con-
cluded with " God save the King," ,verse and chorus. • There
were Balls after each Concert' in the Shire Hall,
,but it,was so
extremely crowded on Wednesday night that very little dancing
took place.

PRESTON GUILD FESTIVAL.
ELEVENTH DAY, SEPT. 13.
ORATORIO.—The concluding Musical Meeting was much
better attended than any of the former performances. The
grand composition of the Creation gave full scope for the exer-
tions of the splendid talents of the vocal and instrumental per-
formers, and was most admirably executed. We have no room
to describe their individual excellencies and science ; and as we
have already, in our foregoing remarks, pointed out their ca-
pabilities' and claims to public • approbation, we can only re-
peat, that upon this occasion they lost none of their well-
earned reputation.
THE MASQUERADE.—The closing scene of. the Guild fes-
tivities has now flitted before us. In the midst of the many
gaieties which have risen in rapid succession, the'anticipation
of the masquerade was never lost sight of by the busy throng
who have. resorted to this magic
'spot in search of innocent
amusement and fascinating delight; and when we say that the
reality has equalled all that could have been promised to the
warmest imagination, we do not overstep the boundaries of
truth. The gay votaries of pleasure began early to assemble in
the rooms, where, during the last fortnight; joy and hilarity
have held their court; and at ten o'clock the rooms' were
crowded to excess, by parties in every variety of costume, and
supporting every shade of charos,tp, which the most ertile
fancy could suggest. - By previotitedirangement, announced in
hand-bills, the company unmasked about half-past eleven ;
and it formed no inconsiderable portion of the amusement for
friends to recognise each other in the variously assumed dress
and manners most opposite to their accustomed habits. The
rest of the evening, or rather morning, was spent in dancing or
parading as at a fancy ball.

NoßTHualnEnrati ID HOUSE.—The Long Gallery, that
nobly proportioned specimen of ancient architecture, is com-
pleted. The expence already incurred has been one hundred
thousand pounds. All the front next the Strand are servants'
rooms. It is now undergoing a thorough repair, and already
presents a beautiful appearance.
ARCHITECT URAL IMPROVEMEN TS.—A new square is
now forming to the North-west of Connaught-place. Only one
house has yet been erected. That long neglected pile, intended
for the Duke of Gloucester, has been at last finished.
THE HERTFORD PROFERT y —We understand it is quite
true, that the Dowager Marchioness of HERTFORD made
over to her son, the present Marquis, the magnificent legacy of
two hundred thousand pounds, left to her by the will of the late
Marquis, and also that she has settled three thousand pounds
a year upon her sister, Lady Wm. Gordon, and eleven hundred
pounds a year upon her two nieces and nephew, Misses Meynell-
and Capt. Meynell. The Yorkshire Estate, as mentioned, is
her Ladyship's property from her own family, and descended
to her from her father, the late Viscount Irwin. Upon her
Ladyship's death it goes to Lady Win. Gordon, her next
sister ; and upon her death, to the eldest son of the late Mrs.
3leynell, the third sister. Its annual value is much exceeded
in the paragraphs that have appeared in some of the Papers.—
( Morning Post.)
EARLDOM OF CRAUFURD AND LINDSAY.—A Corres-
pondent says,—" We are fully authorised to state that the pe-
tition and case of JOHN kiNDSAY CRAUFURD, Esq.,
claiming to be Earl of Craufurd and Lindsay, was some
time previous to the close of the last Session of Parlia-
ment referred by his Majesty to the House of Peers, and
forwarded by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, to the Lords' Committee of Privileges. This celebrat-
ed case is now under the consideration of their Lordships, and
Mr. Craufurd's counsel and agents anxiously wait the com-
mencement of the next Session, to establish his right to thOse
illustrious honours. Those who may have any interest in this
important claim will then have an opportunity. to be heard ;
but the publication of any premature observations or state-
ments relative to its merits, will be visited with an immediate
and rigorous prosecution, and we doubt not with the infliction
of thae pains and penalties which the parties offending will
incur by so gross and flagrant a breach of their Lordships'
privileges.—( Morning Herald.)

MR. LIVINGSTONE'S BALLOON.—A Gentleman
of York, who was enjoying field sports on Monday afternoon,
about five o'clock, in the vicinity of Bubwith, about 16 miles
S.E. of York, was agreeably surprised by the appearance of a
magnificent Balloon sailing above his head in an easterly direc-
tion, but evidently disposed for descension. Pursuing the direc-
tion it was moving in, he finally found its grapples entangled
in a tree, and the machine itself labouring hard for re-ascension.
With much trouble he had it secured and delivered to the care
of a farmer of the name of Chaplin. In the car were found the
fragments of a glass bottle and some few bits of biscuit. It
proved to be, the Balloon in which Mr. LIVINGSTONE had
ascended at Preston.

Among the various occurrences during our
races, we have to notice an assault made upon Mr. MYTTON
and Mr. BETTY (the celebrated Roscius.) These Gentlemen
were walking in the street, opposite the George Inn, about one
o'clock on Wednesday morning the llth inst., when four in-
solent fellows hustled and insulted them in various ways. Mr.
Mytton's hat was knocked off, and one of the men snatched Mr.
Betty's watch out of the fob, but having a safety chain attached
to it, the villain failed in his object. Mr. Mytton seized one
of the men, and held him until the patrol came, when he was
conveyed to the gaol; the others effected their escape.---( Lick-
