PARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of
sr:ount Fincastle, eldest son of the Earl of Dunmore, with
"'PAY Catherine Herbert, the beautiful and highly-accom-
Puished sister of the Earl of Pembroke, having been solem-
ulised at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, very great festivities took
place last week at Dunmore Castle, the scat of the bride-
oorn's father, as also on his Lordship's estates in the High-
bands, in celebi-tion of the event. The marriage took place
road, in consequence of the health of a near relative of the
Ides (the Countess of Pembroke, we believe) having re-
„izired the aid of the German baths. At an early hour on
riday last Dunmore Park presented a very animated scene,

NORFOLK and NORWICH FESTIVAL

(Abridged from the Morning Post.)
NORWICH, SEPT. 21.—The attendance at St. Andrew's Hall
this morning was very numerous. The anthem, composed for the
coronation of his present Majesty, in which " Rule Britannia" is
so skilfully interwoven, was well performed, and proved at once that
the Hall was admirably adapted for the broad effect of the orchestra
and vocalists united. The choral anthem was finely done. The
unearthly sounds of the trombones, and the subdued tones of the
chorus, were splendidly contrasted. The splendid harmony of the
anthem of Orlando Gibbons, composed in 1603, judiciously accom-
panied on the organ by Mr. Tulle, created such an impression that
it was encored, the audience standing. The chorus-singers got
over the difficulties of the time, with the aid of the conductor's
baton, in the most creditable manner. H. Phillips's charming
air by Handel was given by him with such truly devotional feel-
ing and intense pathos, that he was called upon to repeat it.
The thirdpart of the scheme was of extraordinary interest, inasmuch
as it was taken up with the first performance in this country, in an
entire form, of " Mozart's Requiem." The "Requiem xternum,"
" 0, remember not, Lord, our sins," with Willman's delicious tone
on the corno di bassetto in the opening, was beautifully done, and
was a fine introduction to the terefic " Dies croe," (" Lo ! he
cometh"). The crash was tremendous, and the brass instru-
ments, with Tulle's immense pedal execution on the organ, were
quite overwhelming. The tromboni in the " Tuba mirum" ("Hear
the trumpet's awful summons") were almost calculated to realize
the mighty conceptions of Mozart, to raise the dead from the tombs.
We cannot conclude without awarding a tribute of praise to Mr.
Turk for his efficiency at the organ. The attention also
of Sir George Smart, as conductor, was unremitting. There
is but one step from the "sublime to the ridiculous," but as
the sublime is not often reached the antithesis is more fre-
quently realised. The " Redemption" had finished; a little fat
individual rushed up to the orchestra, and, accosting Sir G.
Smart, said, " Ibe going to cry." " What for," says the fa-
tigued conductor. " For mooney, cur." " You must not make
a noise here," replied Sir G. Smart. " Aye, but I wull." " You
will ; what do you mean ? Who are you ? You are no singer."
" Ees I be," said the man, who had on a nondescript dress.
" What, in that dress?" said Sir George. " No, zur, I cry in
this dress, but sings in t'other, and plays upon the hell." The
man then illustrated his occupation by ringing a large bell, and the
company, who were departing, stopped to hear his address. He
spoke nearly as follows :—" Ladies and Gentlemen—l begs to state
that a gemmen has dropped a brown silk purse, containing ten so-
vereigns. Whoever has picked it up, and put it in his pocket by
mistahe, is requested to bring it to me, or any other gemman hac-
-Ing here, and the gemman what has lost it, will be very much
obliged to him." This address excited roars of laughter.
TiftrasnAv Mowsucc.—The conceit last night was not so
fully attended as the morning performance.
