Miss AUGUSTA
PURCELL'S CONCERT.—Last evening
-Moisrld, sA. Purcell, a young lady new to the musical
W
gave her first annual concert at the Princess's
Concert-rooms. She has a mezzo-soprano voice of con-
siderable sweetness, which has evidently been well culti-
vated. The programme comprised s good variety of
vocal and instrumental music. She was very much ap-
plauded in the Romanza "II Pensieroso" (Giacinto
Marras), and in the recitative and air, " Love, art thou
true 2" (Rooks). Miss Sara Flower was encored in
" Quando quell' nom quell' unnico" (Nini), and " The
Swiss Girl" (G. Linley). A similar honour was paid to
Mr. Collins for his performance on the violin of the
" Carnival de Venise" (Paganini), and Mr. Sydney
Pratter for his fantasia on the flute. The room was well
attended.

WORKS IN CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—A correspon-
dent of the Builder, writing from Chester on the works
which have been going on for some time past in the
cathedral, says the choir has been restored and re-
arranged ; the ceiling, which had never been finished,
has been groined ; the old sittings have been replaced
with substantial oak fittings, with solid bench ends; the
unsightly galleries which disfigured the choir have all
been swept away ; the floors have been relaid, partly
with black and white marble, and partly with slate and
Hopton- wood stone. The floor round the altar has also
been laid with slate and Hopton stone, in the form of a
Maltese cross. There has also been added an altar rail
of oak; and a new stone screen (the gift of the Rev. W.
P. Hamilton) has been placed between the altar and St.
Mary's Chapel. The bishop's throne, which was so
mutilated that it was difficult to decide what it had been
originally, has been restored at the expense of the Rev.
Canon Slade. The pulpit, the gift of Sir Edward S.
Walker,. of Chester, was designed by Mr. R. C. Hassey.
It is in the decorated style, and stands, entirely detached,
upon the north side of the ohnir. It stands about 22
feet high from the floor, and is octagonal in shape. The
Imasonry was executed by Mr. Haswell, of Chester; the
earring by Mr.a tz Frith, of Birmingham. The
