NORWICH MUSICAL FESTlVAL.—Yesterday a
meeting of the clergy of the diocese of Norwich was
held, under the auspices of the bishop, for the purpose of
considering an address which it is proposed to present to
their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales,
on the occasion of their approaching visit to Norwich
during this festival. The prince and Princess will not bo
present at the concerts on the Monday and Tuesday even-
ings, but they will attend the morning performance on the
Wednesday, and probably also some of ;the other concerts.
The Royal visitors will also attend the ball on the Friday
evening. The festival promises to be a pecuniary success
—the amount received up to yesterday from the sale of
tickets being upwards of £3,000. This must be considered
a highly satisfactory result, as the sale will continue, of
course, during the ousting teu days,
