choral society gave a concert. on Thursday, at the City Lec-
ture Theatre, Milton-street, in two parts, the first comprising
selections from the oratorio of the Messiah, and the second
some of the popular compositions of dn, Rossini, Stevens,
&c. The solo parts were sustained by Mrs. A. Newton,
Miss Sara Flower, and Messrs. Husk and Turner, who
acquitted themselves creditably. Mr. Holderness was the
conductor, and Mr. W. Blagrove led an effective band. The
choruses were, on the whole, very well executed. A nu-
merous and respectable audience testified its approbation by
repeated plaudits.
