DRURY-LANZ THEATRR.-00 Saturday, being Whit-
sun eve, a Grand Selection of Ancient and Modern
Musieb under the same management as daring the last
season, was performed at this house. All the principal
vocal and Instrumental talent assisted in rendering this a
most delightful treat. Early in the evening, the Dress
Circle was crowded with beauty and fashion, and all
the other parte of the House were equally well filled.
The Selections were principally from the " Messiah,"
"Moses in Egypt," and " Cyrus In Babylon," with light
airs of celebrated Composers introduced between the
performances to relieve the ear from the heaviness of
the sacred musk. Amongst the instrumental perform-
ers, we must particularly mention Mr. NORTON, who
played a Concerto on the trumpet in a manner seldom
equalled; indeed, the superior style in which this :en.
tleman performed, could be clearly perceived throne bout
the evening, and he was no small acquisition to the or- I
cbestn. We observed no other novelty, the rest of the I
performers and performances being the same as we no-1
deed during the hot season. ,
The Hastings Barrack ground, which, we blieve
was purchased by Government fur thirteen hundred and
five pounds, sold the other day, in sit lots, by Mr. I
Woodhams, for three thousand guineas. Mr. Mark
Breeds, Mr. Gin, and a Gentleman from London were
the purchasers.—(Sown Advertiser.)
