THE LATE HEREFORD FgaTivAL.—The accounts of the late festival of the three choirs were on Saturday last audited by the committee, and the result is much more satisfactory than at ose time had been anticipated. The expenditure on account of the festival, engagement of singers, band, &c., amounted to 2,6581., being 6311. ss. 10d. more than the expenditure at the last festival at Hereford in 1852. The receipts were 2,0281. 108. 9;d., being 8001. more than in 1852, and leaving a balance of 630/, to be made good by the stewards. Instead of each steward having, therefore, to pay 100/. (the usual loss), the amount of each gentleman's liability is 811. IGs. The collection for the charity for the relief of the widows and orphans of the clergy now amounts to 8701., and will no doubt reach 9001. After Mr. Townsend Smith had gone fully into the accounts on Saturday the committee and stewards requested him to withdraw, and the following resolution was afterwards passed--" The stewards, being anxious to mark their sense of Mr. Townsend Smith's exertions upon the present occasion, far exceeding those which have been require. from him at any previous festival, resolve to enterinto a subscription of 51. each towards a testimonial to be selected by the Archdeacon, after consulting with Mr. Townsend Smith, and to which the Archdeacon, as chairman of the committee, requests to be permitted to contribute a similar sum,"
