Musical Entertainment. — Un fortunately the weather wks so stormy last night that the audience was not os large as would otherwise have been tho case. This was to bo regretted, for those who took part in the performance had evidently been at great pains iu making the necessary preparation. Bolh parts of the entertainment went off in tbe most satisfactory manner, and we trust that on another occasion Mrs Palmer will receive better treatment at the bauds of tho clerk of tho weather. Carriage Manufactory.— A very handsome and well finished waggonette has just been turned out at the manufactory of Messrs. Christian and Ponton iu Bridge-street. The hood is so constructed that by a clever arrangement of the iron supports it can be lowered at will without causing any inconvenience to those sitting either in the box or in tho body of the conveyance. Tbe painting, which is the work of Mr Ponion, is really excellent and neat in the extreme. Wo are glad to learn that a purchaser has been found at once in the person of Mr M'Gee, of the Nelson Hotel.
