SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The first public re-
hearsal of this society will take place at the Collegiate
Institution on Tuesday next, the 26th inst. The chorus,
which consists of upwards of three hundred members, is
the largest out of the metropolis, and is in a state of great
efficiency. In consequence of the limited size of the
orchestra, a selection of 210 will form the chorus at the
rehearsal.

from attending who would otherwise have been present ;
but, taking that circumstance into account, the numbers
were encouraging. The programme included selections

Herrmann was the conductor. The vocalists were Miss
Santley, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. C. Santley. Miss
Santley sung the air from Haydn's Seasons, " Here amid
these calm recesses," with much taste and feeling. Ros-

Mr. C. Santley and Mr. Armstrong with effect, and was.
