SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 21.--On Thursday last the- mag-
nificent organ at All Saint's Church was opened by Mr. 'l'.
Anlots.. A selection of sacred music, from the Messiah, was
introduced on the occasion, and there are but few instances in
which 'Messrs. Barrington and Ball, of Salisbury, and Mrs.
Pillinger of Bath, have appeared to greater advantage.
The building is admirably calculated to assist musical
sounds, and front the bold style in which the performers
gave the several songs, this advantage appeared to have
been felt by them. Mrs. Pillinger sang Angels ever
bright and fair" in a most beautiful style of expression.
lie was despised," was the happiest effort of Mr. liar-
rington ; .and Mr. Ball, in " 0 Lord have mercy,"--,
gave full effect to that beautiful composition of Pergolesi.
The Choruses were supported in the- most creditable man-
ner by the gentlemen of the several choirs in the town. The
organ being the only instrument, no small degree of skill
in perforniance was necessary, to render the various ac-
companiments effective ; and we cannot speak in terms
. sufficiently expressive of the masterly style in which Mr.
Adams conducted the whole, at a very short notice ; but what
gave the' greatest delight, was his scientific exhibition of the
v,aried powers of this noble instrument.
