BRIGHTON, JAN. 25.

•
The Musical Festival, at our beautiful new Church,
dedicated to Sr. PETER, took place agreeably to ar.
rangemeats yesterday. The Princess AUGUSTA reached
the Church about noon ; the National Anthem Was
played, while the BISHOP of the Diocese, and our
esteemed Vicar, the Rey. H. M. WAGNER, conducted
her Royal Highness, accompanied by Miss WYNTARD, '
to a pew in the body of the Church, near the pulpit;'
and the Oratorio, consisting of selections from HAW*,
DEL'S Messiah, and The Creation, by HAYDN, instantly
after commenced.
The harmonious fete was conducted in the happiest manner
not an instant of confusion prevailed from the outset to the close—
it terminated soon after four o'clock.
It was about half-past four when the Princess returned to the
Palace. Her Royal Highness was in excellent apparent health,.
and seemed much to enjoy the harmonies of the festival. All the
rank and fashion of the town appeared to occupy the pews in the
body of the Church. The galleries were not so closely filled. The
amount of the receipts is not known, it must have been considerable.
In the evening, a Concert, under the same management, vat
given at the Old Sbip Assembly Rooms. for the ume charitab
purposes as the Oratorio. The Concert was remarkably well at.
tended, notwithstanding the Oratorio of the morning bad comn
derably diminished its attractiveness.
The Pall on Wednesday evening, at the Old Ship Rooms, under,
the patronage of the Ladies Patronesses of the Subscription Uhl
for the New Hospital, was one of the fullest of the season. Atnutli
