The concert was a complete success. From forty to
fifty thousand people attended it ; and it marks very great
progress in choral singing. That the Tonic Sol•fa system
Was the one by which the choristers were taught, speaks
very strongly for that system.

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1869.

A veteran Reformer, as earnest and untiring as
PEYRRONET THOMPSON, deserves at our hands some
passing tribute of respect and recognition. At the
time of his death, at Blackheath, on Monday last,
the 6th of September, 1869, he was in his 87th year,
having been born at Hull in 1783. Latterly known,
during his old age, as Lieutenant-General THOMAS
PEYRRONET THONIPSON, he won a reputation for him-
self, chiefly, during the middle period of his life, as
Colonel PEYRRONET THOMPSON. A midshipman on
board the flagship of Admiral GAMBIER, he served
for nearly four years in the Royal Navy, changing
that profession, however, for the Army in 1806,
when he entered the Rifle Corps as Second Lieute-
nant. His education had previously been cared
for, first of all, at the Grammar Schoal of
Bull, and afterwards at Queen's C.)llege, Cam-
-1 ridge. At the former, the Master
had been JOSEPH Ai I LMER, the author of the
Church History. At the latter, that is, at Cambridge
University, PEYRRONET THOMPSON had taken his
bachelor's degree in 1802 as Seventh Wangler. it
was only six years after this, and when be had been
nearly two years in the Army,
