HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
So far as the " receipts " go, the accounts of the
Hereford Musical Festival just closed have been made
up, and these show a very satisfactory state of things.
The collections made on behalf of the "charity for the
relief of the widows and orphans of clergymen," &c.,
reached a total of 812/. 18s. 2d., thus made out
ceived on Wednesday morning, 295/. 15s. 6d. ; on
Thursday morning, 2961. 18s. 6d.; on Friday morning,
2201 4s. 2d.—Total, 8121. 18s. 2d. In these sums are
included the several liberal donations forwarded by par-
ties who, from peculi.ir circumstances, were unable to
attend the festival. It is expected that the amount of
812/. 18s. 2d. will be further augmented before the ac-
counts of the festival are fully made up. The number
of persons who attended the morning performances at
the cathedral on the three days of last week were—
Raised Seats. Floor. - Aisles.

_
This would make a total of 1,507 persons attending
the morning performances, so that each person must, on
the average, have contributed 10s. and upwards to the
charity fund, besides the cost of their admission ticket.

OHIO CANALE.—The returns of tolls on the Ohio
canals for the season, from November 15, 1845, to JuIS
15, 1846, exhibit an increase of fifty thousand dollars
over the corresponding period last year.
It is a remarkable fact, that, whilst we hear of the
potato disease in every other part of the world, in the
Shetland Islands, the poorest of soils, the "Ultima Thule
of Britain, it is unknown.
