At the Tabernacle last evening, from 6:80 until 8, the orchestra, rehearsed, aud from 8 until 10 o'clock the full chorus recited the selections. Miss Bayliss aud Mr. Young were not present, pre-sent, not having arrived yet; but Sliss Knowltou, Miss Thomas, Miss Dean, Miss Pratt and Messrs. Eastou, Pyper and Spencer ably tilled their respective parts and delighted the few listeners who were present. The festival promises to be oue of the grandest successes ever recorded iu tho west.
