A Festival took place yesterday on a very brilliant scale, to cele-
brate the opening of the new Organ at St. Mary's Church. The
Orchestra, which was most ably 'elected, was led by Cramer, and
the whole was under the superintendance of Mr. Nunn, who pre-
sided at the Organ. The principal Vocalists were Miss Paton and
Messrs. Sapid and Atkins. The Church was completely filled at the
opening of the doors, and the audience comprised all the leading
families of the county.
In the evening there was a Miscellaneous Concert at the Theatre,
which was equally crowded.

all present, and the manner In which it was received will probably
induce a repetition on some future occasion.
