A promenade concert in aid of the Refuge for Destitute Old Women and Lying-in Hospital will be given in the City Hall this evening. The, funds of this excellent institution are, we regret to say, very low ; and. it is to be hoped a ready response will be made by the public this evening, when an opportunity will be given for passing a pleasant evening, rendered still more enjoyable by the sense that assistance is being rendered to a deserving class of suffering humanity. A few fancy articles will bo offered for sale during the evening. The programme is published in our advertising columns.
