St. Paul's Hall, Charles-street.

Another of the series of weekly entertainments for the benefit of the parochial funds was given on Tuesday evening. The concert, which was got up by Mesdames Fuller and Clinch, met with considerable success, notwithstanding so many counter-attractions. Miss Power, who also accompanied throughout with great skill and helpfulness, opened the proceedings with a brilliant pianoforte selection. Miss Wardle's two numbers on the violin were warmly received. Miss Ledger gave a tasteful rendering of "Sunshine from Above," the other ladies taking part being Miss Rodda, with a well-played overture, and Mrs. Fuller, with a charmingly rendered song. Mrs. Snowball gave two readings, one of which, a Dutch humorous piece, caused much amusement, and Miss Whitford recited with feeling. Of the gentlemen, Mr. John Horgan, who was in excellent voice, sang with much acceptance "The Last Watch" and "Star of my soul." Mr. Ledger sang "Tell Me, Mary" and "I seek for thee" with good expression. Mr. Roxby was pleasingly heard in two songs. The Rev. John Ellis vigorously sang "The skippers of St. Ives," and also read a humorous American piece. It was announced that next Tuesday there will be a recital by Mr. Ellis, particulars of which will be duly advertised and that Mrs. A. S. Appleton has undertaken to produce the next musical entertainment.
