WESLEYAN CONCERT AT COROMANDEL.

A concert, in aid of the above church, took place at the Lower Township School on Monday evening last, and waa in every way a most unqualified success. The place was well filled by a very appreciative audience, and the programme set before them left nothing to be desired. The various performers gave evidence of careful training. It being the Queen's birthday, a portion of ths National Anthem was sung- by the company. A piauo duet by Miss Maine and Mr. Wiseman was very good, and highly appreciated. A recitation by Master Broadgate, Inego Lee, "The Dirty Boy," was very cleverly rendered. Miss Andrew sang "Roses Underneath the Snow" very sweetly ; but, perhaps, the best performances of the evening were a couple of duets (violin and piano) by Dr. Atterbury and Mr. Wiseman. Both the gentlemen are complete masters of their instruments, and brought out their beauties to perfection. " Carissima," a beautiful piece, sang by Miss Maine, was very good. A duet by Misses Maine and Trewheller, "To the Woods," was splendidly rendered, and waa the gem of the evening. Miss Trewheller afterwards sang "Some Day," with great effect. Mr. Rockliffe sang " Write Me a Letter from Home." Mr. Waller sang "Three Sailor Boys." Miss King recited "Poor Little Tom." Captain Andrew, assisted by the company, sang "Miss Brady's Piano Fortee," which completely brought down the house. Misses Clymo gave a pianoforte duet very nicely. Miss Nolan also sang, "Come o'er the stream, Charlie," and " Adieu," especially the latter very well indeed; but the great feature of the evening were the lady and gentlemen visitors from Auckland. Their singing and playing was of the highest order, and were thoroughly appreciated by the audience. They came down from Auckland under considerable disad /antageti, the weather being bad, but they were evidently determined to make the beet of everything. The Rev. Mr. Pinfold, at the close of the concert, proposed a very hearty vote of thanks to all those who had taken part in the affair, which was loudly responded to by the audience, thus ending one of the pleasantest evenings ever spent in Coromandel.—[Own Correspondent.
