NEW RIUSICAL FUND.

The Annual Concert for the benefit of this ex-
cellent Institution took place last night in ,the
King's Theatre, and it will be highly gratifying
to every friend of humanity to learn, that it wal
.attended by a very numerous audience. Indeed,
the assemblage of great talents which were exerted'
on the occasion held forth a powerfut attraction
to Taste, as well as to Benevolence. The chief
Vocal Performers were CATALANI, TRAM hZZAN ,
Mrs. DicxorTs, and BRA , who all displayed
a laudable emulation to reward the audience
for their liberal patronage. NALDI was to have
'sung, but was prevented by indisposition, and,
according to a printed notice, a duet by BRA-
HAM and Mrs. DICKONS was substituted, and
so much admired as to obtain an encore. CATA-
LANI, Mrs. DICKONS, and BRAHAM, also were en-
cored in their respective songs. Madame MAR-
coxr made her first appearance before a British
audience, and received an encore, which she well

deserved, for the ability with which she sung. Her
voice is a powerful counter-tenor. Her execu-
tion was rapid and correct, particularly in her de-
scending shakes, a rare effort of skill. A Mr. B.
ROMBERG also made his first appearance in public,
and evinced great merit in an Andante and Polo-
naize on the Violoncello. We have not room to
notice the other merits of the evening; but we may
add, that the whole was correct and animated, us
might be expected from such a Leader as CEA-
MER, and such a Conductor as Sir GEORGE SMART.

WINDSOR, MAY 10.—This day, being her MA-

Fracs.—An alarming fire broke out yeNterdav morning, at
two o'clock, in the extensive manufactory belonging to Mr.
Powell, Blue-maker, in Fort Place, Elite Anchor-lane, Ber-
mondsey, which in a short time was entirely consumed, be-
sides the valuable property. The flames also caught the ad-
joining buildings, which received great damagt..
A fire also broke out yesterdaymorning, in the Premises: oc-
cupied by Mr. Bryan, tallow-chandler, in th., Broadway, WeA'.-
minster, which threatened destruction to the surronoding
houses. Such was the rapidity of the destructive element, th,t
notwithstanding the immediate overflow of water from :he
pipes of the Chelsea Company, nearly the whole of the build-
ing was burnt to the ground. The fire also communicated its
ravages to the house ,if Mr. AtNood, grocer, anti completely
burnt off the roof. The accident was attributed to the boil-
ing over of a quantity of varnish in the attic story.
