NEW MUSICAL FUND.

The Anniversary Dinner, in honour of Lids
mirable Establishment, took place yesterday in
Freemasons' Hall. The Duke of SussEx • pre-
sided. in the Chair, and was supported by tho
Duke of LEINSTER and Mr. DENT', M. P. Mr.
RAmsaortom, M. P., Dr. CooEn, aEd many
other respectable characters, occupied the cross
table. The company altogether amounted to
'about 300. The dinner• was very geed, but on
account of the late arrival of the chief visitors
approached towards a cold collation, as all the
dishes had previously been placed on the table
in the expectation of a more early attendance of
the Grandees. The dinner, hewever, was, we
repeat, very good ; so were the wines : the de-.
serf was various and ample, and the waiters
ready and attentive.' As soon as the cloth was
removed, Non Nobis Pamint was sung by Hatwo,:,
Evass; TAYLOR, and other professional gentl.;
men, in such an impressive manlier as rng.l!t be
expected, from their well-known talents, science,
and experience. The Duke of SessEt then gaye
as a toast " THE KING," and it was Meived
'with the warmest acclamations by the compatry.
The loyal air of " God save the King" fol-
lowed, sung with due spirit and accuracy by the
same professors. The Duke then gave " TILF:
QUEEN ! ! !—and the rest of the Royal Family."
This toast was also well received, in compli-
ment to the Royal chairman. The Duke
then gave " The New Musical Fund," with
an appropriate speech, briefly animadverting
en the beneficial nature of the institution, and
earnestly recommending it to the liberal pa-
tronage of the company. Glees, composed by
CALCOTT and other eminent Masters, followed,
particularly a new one, " Rise to the Battle,"
the words from OSSIAN, composed by ATWOOD,
highly creditable to his talents. This Glee was
unanimously encored. TAYLOR, of Covent-
Garden Theatre, gave a whimsical Song, freely
touching upon Statesmen, Lawyers, PhysLcians,
Heroes, Lovers, Sze. Sa. ,the burthen of
each stanza, being " My eye, Betty Matin."—
This Song, so acceptable is satire, was warmly
applauded and encored.—" The living Patrons of
the Institution, and those who generously em-
ploy their talents in support of it," was a follow-
ing toast. "Those departed Performers who had
exerted themselves in the same benevolent cause"
was also given, and received, as recommended
by the Chair, with respectful si!ence.—" Sir
GEORGE SMART," who presided at the Harpsi-
chord with his usual attention and zeal in sup-
port of benevolence, was given and drank with
great applause. He returned thanks in a neat
speech, in which, after expressing gratitude to
the Royal Chairman for the compliment thus
paid to him, he explained the difficulty which
had occurred as to the performance of the en-
suing Concert in support of the institution, Ma.
dame NonLET's benefit being announced to take
place at the King's Theatre on the night en-
gaged for the Society's Concert. This
stacle, however, Sir GEORGE stated, had
been at length surmounted, and that the
Concert would take place as first intendeJ.-:—:
The Duke then gave. " Mr. KENDRICK, the
Treasurer," declaring his hope that that.gentle-
man, in the course of the evening, would be ale
to give a good report of the liberality of the.
company on the present occasion.—Mr. KEN,.
DRICK briefly and modestly expressed his sense'
of the high honour which had been paid to him
by the Royal Chairman, and avowed his desire
to promote to the utmost of his power the inte-
rest of the Establishment. Other toasts of a
patriotic and social nature followed, and the com-
pany
seemed to enjoy their entertainment too well
to.be likely to disperse tit an early hour.—We
surprised that no ladies appeared in the gallery
as usual. This nonattendance was much re-.
gretted by the company, as they were deprivel
lof that charm which always animates society, and
operates as a due restraint upon the ev•,sscs o.
conviviality.
