On the 21st instant, (being the commencement at Cambridge)
will be performed in the Court-House, a grand concert of
vocal and instrumental music, for the benefit of Mr. Coleman
to be led by Mr. Turner.    In the last act will be
performed the most capital chorusses in the Messiah, the
solemn and so justly celebrated oratorio, composed by the
great master of harmony, George Frederic Handel, Esq; which
is esteemed by the connoisseurs in that noble science, to be
the first production in the musical world, and in which the
utmost efforts of the human mind are happily exerted.---The
first chorus will begin at the words "Halleluja for the Lord
God omnipotent reigneth; the Kingdom of this world, " &c. 
For this and some other very good reasons, the tickets will
be at 4s L.M. or 3s sterl. each, may be had at the British
Coffee-House, Boston, and at Mr. Howe's, Cambridge.--No
money will be received at the door.  P.M. 8 o'clock
