is exquisite part singing. Some choice songs and
madrigals, by Mendelssohn, Benedict, Becker, and
()there, were sung with admirable precision and effect ;

DEATH OF ONE OF NELSON'S MARINSS.—James
Worrell, an old pensioner from the Marines, died rather
suddenly on Wednesday week, at his residenee, Long-
mead buildings Tvverton. He served with Lord Nelson
at the battle Of Trafalgar ; since that he has lived in
America, and only a comparatively short time ago ar
rived in this country, and settled near this city.—Bath
Chronicle.
AN EXTENSIVE FlRE.—Early this morning a fire of a
very alarming character, br( ke out in the premises ad-
joining shoe of Messrs. Hollingsworth, the auctioners,
High-holborn, near Gray'elarel me. The house was
occupied by a saddler, named Madement, and before the
flames could be extinguished the premises were totally
consumed. Great damage has been done to the sur-
rounding property, and it is to he regretted that one
unfortunate person has been burnt to death, and another
very much injured.
MR. STURGEON AT THE SURREY GARMINS.—There
was again a very large attendance at these gardens yes-
terday to hear the above rev, gentleman ; but though
very large, and at the clesing of the gates several per-
sons were unable to gain admittance, there was an evi-
dent falling off in the number of the nobility and gentry
usually in attendance. Amongst others present we
observed Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Merchioness of
Sliga rind friends, Mr. Fergus, M.P., Sir John Bur-
goyne, &c. The preacher took for his text St. Luke 16,
T. 31.
THE SUNDAY BANDS.--Last evening the attendance
in the Regent's Park was unprecedented—it was com-
puted that at least 30,000 persons wore present. Not-
withstanding this immense assemblage the greatest
attention was paid to the performance of the mutic, which
consisted of a judicious selection from the works of the
best masters. The programmes issued by the committee
announce that the greatest exertions are being made to
permanently establish the Sunday bands; but it is to
be regretted that the sale of programmes, which is the
principal source from which the funds are derived, is not
so extensive as it ought to be. Notwithstanding the
immense number of persons that have attended the per-
formances of the Sunday bands since their commence-
ment there has not yet been a single case in which the
police have been called upon to act.
