MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.
A musical entertainment and lecture upon music was given by .Mr. Charles Russell last evening at the Masonic Hall. The attendance was only moderate, the unfavourable state of the weather doubtless preventing many from being present. The subject of the lecture was " The Influence of Music on the Human Mind/' which was •handled by Mr. Russell in an able and instructive style, the audience jluring the evening frequently expressing their approval by loud applause. aiirersiiied by the ren-
dering of several songs illustrative of the lecture, jsjoHl we. jnust add- that the manner in which they were sung stamps" Mr. Russell as a musician ofino mean order. - The';.irios€' successful was undoubtedly well-known descriptive song, "Ship on Fire," which was artistically rendered, and highly applauded, of the bag-pipes on the Americanjaorgan, by Mr. Russell, is entitled to special mention, and we only regret that so intellectual and instructive an entertainment as that given by Mr. Russell last evening, should have met with such meagre support at the hands of our musical public.
