The aehestra, toe, did their work excellently. The score used by Mr. Benedict contained the additional teoe innate merited to Mozart. Their authorship has tam dooMed ; bat, bo that as it may, they an in many please aresedingly beautiful, and greatly enrich Heade r a esielaal mom, which it most be admitted, is is many plow Mu and @Wit. In " Hush, ye pretty warbling &Mr," "As when the dove," and "0 ruddier them the cherry," many flee effects are pro duced by the additional instruments, mpecially in the gisat's love - ditty, to which there is • most lagutious sad happy accompaniment for the pio. do. The Woe were fairly snag; bat none of the performers seemed at Moe la Handers musks except Mr. Santley, whose read ing of the part of Polyphoom was extremely good. The I.=so fall of rude, uncouth passion, was altogether sad produced a greater effect than any other air in the piece. It was loudly tad unanimously encored. The second part of the concert, as will be seen from tho pro gramme, wee made up of pieces already known to the public. Mendelasohn's " Ave Maria" from his posthumous opera, first performed ate erlons concert of the Vocal Association, and sow repeated ' , was the most intereeting realise of this selection. The hall was quite full ; which, we perceive with pleasure, to now always the case at them truly Me ek:al performances. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSH OF COMMONWEDNESDAT,MAIteII 23. (Cone add from yesterday's Erpross.) Kr. STEWART hoped the goveramest would %nodule • mom tee the sedfset. The hoe. gegthirasa below him ISM SISIENat hi!WWI Nall , to deal with it in a ooncillatory Mb= vele apt the bill of the hon. gentle man, inseam he beamed She government were disposed to dsel intlk it in seek • spirit. The LORD-ADVOCATE sad he would not insinuate that the bill originated in any bed spirit or Improper motives, but in cceseientions motives. For thirty . years the abject occapied the attentket of the house. Various attempts had bees made to settle It. He had, of coarse, turned his attention to the stabPeet, and had • bill prepared on it, which bill was petted mid in his hinds. He had the anent of the govern ment la the main principle of that bill, and hoped to have an importunity of introducing it ; bat still its provelions had to medergo much %Aber conalderation from him. The bill, although it might not satisfy all parties, waa such a cue as pve at. lateen% te • considerable portion of those who ad vocated the view of the kmourahle gentlemen. Ho was net prepared to vote for the principle of the honourable geotleman without seeing bow a substitute should be found for the support of the ministers in Edinburgh. He abould like to en the tax abolished, but the first part of the bill wee so mixed up with the emceed part of It that be could not see his way to giving it his support. The right hon. endlearned gentleman haviag gone into the hiat , oral the origin of the Annuity Tax, and referred to the statutes, contended that It sainted tram 1661 down to the present thee, and that it ought not to be abolished without gems Waller entente% than was proposed by the hon. gentleman. He was opposed to the app lica tion of the seat rents, at least to the extant here proposed in the bill, as • mode of maintaining the ministers. The city of Edla. burgh was divided into the Old and New Town. The ta utens in the poor districts would not be properly supported from there seat-rents. The effect of applying seat-rents in this way would be to drive sway the poor from the church. (Hear, beer.) Again, if the money collected at% church door, which was now applied to the poor, wee to be diverted end given to the ministers, he was afraid it would dry up that source of poor relief. (Hear, hear.) the hon. gentleman postponed the bill he would as soon am pos sible gate the principle and the details of the measure holud Fe irIONCREIFF was glad to hear that his right hon. and learned friend heel • bill peened on this subject. He thought, however, that the bill of his hon. friend ought to be allowed th go into committee, because the question now was not whether the annuity tax should be abolished or not, but what substitute they could find for that tax. Ile menet prepared to say that ha greed in all the details of hie how friend's billl bat he wad on the prin iple on which It was founded. He regretted to say that every attempt to settle the questioa haA been opposed by hon. gentlemen oppo site. (Hear, hear.) He had been accused of snicking the Established Chunk by host. gentlemen opposite, but he thought that what he bad proposed was for the intenista of that church. (Hear.) Mr. COWAN mid be was not actuated in support ing this mammy by any feeling of hostility to the Established Church of Scotland, for he was not opposed to the principle of an established church. The episcopalism clergy formerly received an endowment, but es soon as the grant was withdrawn the body to which they belonged et once eubsceited to make up the deficiency. This bill, so fee from being • measure of spoliation and con fiscating, proposed that all existing incumbents should retain their present stn pm and in mita of fact the bill would not take full effect for ds; 2O or 30 years. lie trusted the bill would, then, be allowed to be read • second time. The com mittee might be postponed till after Easter. They would by that time be In • position to judge of the intended govern meat MIL Mr. BAILLIE treated that English members would not be led away by the impression that this tax wee st all similar to church rates. The latter was entirely voluntary, but the annuity tax had been imposed by the authority of paella raent 200 years ego, and was precisely on the same forting as tither. What would be raid of • landowner who came down with • bill to abolish tithes on the ground that he had a conscientious objection to them ? Neither wee this tax simi lar to ministers money. Even that, however, bad not been abolished without a compensation. Tbe principle of this bill was to abolish the tax without a substitute, and he should therefore go toe divirinn aping it. Sir W. DUNBAR was in favour of the principle of aboli tion, and should therefore vote for the second reading. In doing so he was actuated by no feeling of hostility to the established church, but he believed that the well-being of the church and the peace of the community could only be secured by the immediate abolition of an odious Impost. The bill as it stood would not settle the question, but if it was read a second time the government would then be able to turn their attention to the subject, and propose • measure which would be satisfactory. The continuance of this tax was • wrong. Church rates were a tax on persons In rimed of property;theannuity tea was just the sum. The house had icie d. to abolish church rater, and had already done away with wining,' money. Why should the annuity tsr be preserved` The tax was most unjust in its operation. The members of the Scottish bar. whatever their Income, what ever their religion were not Halide to it. Mr. SCOTT said ell parties admitted the tax was unequal In its operatioe, and were desirous of finding • substitute, Inet of fact the question Was, did this bill afford • fair, just, sad equitable settlement f, lie could mot think It did, and therefore he should oppose the second read ing. The principle of the till was that the fund which it was PeOpOald to %bathe.° for the tax was to be raised from the reeve of the Hato in the pariah church, which were to be parcelled oat menet the ongregation. Such a distribution of mate was Maly opposed to the principle of the English law, which remfred that all the orate to the pariah church Meted be free. Another fund from which a substitute for the tax was to 'be derived was the collection at the doors, so that the church was to be supported out of the elms box ; and Ow matey, to be applied to the support of the clergy, was to be taken from the poor. If this was not 'vitiation sad conanation, it was at least rebate; the poor to save the pockets dthe rich. There was to sea!ogy between the church mess end the annuity tax. The church rate was • local ran levied by the inhabitant. for the mantenanoe of the fabric of the church, the annuity tax was a statutory Imposition for the maintenance of the c'ettn, Ant impend is 1661. For the list 160 years it wee paid without opposition, as it woo levied by the town conacile, who paid what they chose to the clergy, and ap plied the ',dance to their own purposes. It was may in 1809 the away found out they were entitled to the whole Fame of the tax. Even then, they were most desirous some substitute should he to a rid of what was • roe of disagreement and heab urn ing between theta end Lord =HO was extremely desirous , that the question alwald be settled' but as the government bad announc ed their determtmatioa to Introduces bill, be thought it would be better to p.ntpone the discussion until they saw the provisions of that bill. He could not accept the pretest bill ea it stood' saesof its provisions deserved the character it had received as a measure of spoliation. If a division took place ho should vote against the tell. Mr. LABOIJCHERE bad had his attention directed to this mastlin some years back when acting sea commissioner of inquiry into the affairs of the ci cf Edinburgh. Even then there was great excitement a n d dissatisfaction at this tax, which had since increased, end which it was the duly of that house to remove if potable. In his opinion the tax re ambled rather the ministers money than church rates. He admitted the tax ought not to be abolished without a sittati tote. That, however, was a quasar n for the committee. In the second reeling the question was abolition or no aboli. Soo. He believed the tax ought to he abolialted. and he should therefore vole for the wood reading of the bill. Mr. MACKIE said although a member of the established church of Scotland he should be glad to see this tax abolished, ea it tended to promote discord and ill-feeling : but he oould not vote for its abolition without a substitute. (Hear. hear.) Tbe rightgentleman mender for Stroud (Mr. Herman) wee quite mietaken in ns supposing that this case was sualognus to that of church rates. The nonnity tm was of ascertained amount, whereas that could sot be mid of the impost with which it was compared. In the ems of minieteri mossy in Intent, the Home of Commons could not be induced to consent to the abolition until the advocates of it were able to point out en efficient substitute. It was a most unwise mode of set.lieg a religious difficulty to do ea 1111 j gat sot like that now proposed. Mr. BRIGHT said if the hon. member for Edinburgh would take his advice bo would not withdraw this bill. It had been said that the annuity-tax tended to promote envy, hatred, malice, and all nucharftablesese," end if that were true no one surely could object on principle to its abolition. He was afraid to speak of popula.ion, but he had so hesitation is saying that four.lifths of the educated imelligeace of Edinburgh was opproord to the continuance of the tax. (Hear, hear.) They might <Snow this question for twenty years, but they must ultimately come to some such mettles most at that now proposed. Het hoped the hon. gentleman would not delude himself with the notion that the government would introduce an acceptable masseurs. Mr. B. ESTCOURT believed there was but one opinion ha the hams with lewd Is the tea itself, and thet was that it wee desirable that ft should be put an end to, the only question bd., what wee the best means of acoomplishimg that object.

The first concert of this season, for the exhibition of the pupils, took place on Tuesday at the Institution in Ten terden-street.

The concert was an azoallent selection from the weeks of the great masters. Several movements of Beethoven's Mass in C —the " &actin.," Besedietus," "Agana Del," and " Dona nobis pacem "—were extremely sell performed, the solo pasta being sung by Miss Boweroft, Kiss Laura Baner, Ociodban, and Mr. %diverge. Miss Wyatt and Mies Bromley, two young ladies of promising taknts, sang the duet, "I waited for the Lord," trim Mendelandan's Loh*. mop.

Mies Emlly Beelines performance of " I know that my Redeemer 'Nett" did her l,keweo great honour. She has a clear oweet soprano voice, and evidently much feeling; her method is pure, and her style his delicacy and refinement.

In all these vocal perti.nnaircem it will be °Nerved, the Talents of the young ladies only wen exhibited; the male pupils bad nothing to do but to take part in two or three diorama.

The principal instrumental per formances were Mosobelee's pianoforte fastens, " Au chin de la Inns, - ' very nicely . played by Miss Johnstone, and Mozart's quartet in 0 minor for the pin)°, violin, viola, and violoncello, played by Mr. O.

Being meat anxious to get rid of the tax, he could at relent eel us way of promo that object swept by Toting for the emend reeding of this bill. (Hear hear.) He would suggest that this bill should be pr oceeded with, and that as soon so the government bill had been in troduced, both should be referred to:a select committee. Mr. BLACK replied—He said the tax was injurious not czlato morels and religion, but to the church of Scotland He believed the eyes of the Presbytery of Edinburgh were directed towards the Consolidated Fund—an inclination which be was sure would never be sanctioned by that house. His own bill woe free from any such otjections, and on that ground he considered it worthy of their favourable con sideration. . Thb;;s then divided : For the second reading 216 Against it 176-40 The announcement of the numbers wen lulled wi th loud abrets from the opposition. Kr. COWAN wished to know, after the signffiamt do deka which had just been pronounced, when the Lod Ad vocate would introduce the government bill. (Heer) The LORD ADVOCATE, who was almost inaudible, was understood to say that he co uld not name any day for its in troduction at present. The committee on the bill was find for next Wednesday POOR POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. GREGORY moved the second reading of this bill. He said the evil which this bill was intended to remedy had produced a great deal of in Ireland. The es meiption that all deserted pauper children were the children of protestant parents was oppoeed to all probability. The children were of creme almost always offspring of poor persons, sod the census taken as the guide, the probability was 67 to 1 favour of the parents being Roman catholic'. The legal doe trine laid down by Chief Justice Blackburee on this subject was valid when the protestant religion was the only religion recognised by the state ; but that not being the case at present, that opinion was inapplicable. It was doe able that the legislature should step in and clear up all double on the subject • and it was on that account that the bill had Ibsen inuoduCed. The conflicts which had taken piece with regard to the registry . had all turned upon the attitude which the poor . law guardians should assume towards the Poor-law Commissioners. The object which he had in view was to pennons tranquillity in the vari ous boards, and he was urged to introduce the measure by protestant& as wall as by Roman esthetics. The present state of things was opposed to the efficient administration of the poor law, and was prejudicial to the public service, inasmuch as moderate and quiet country gentlemen were led to retire from the office of guardian in order to avoid unpleasant diaputes. Lord J. BROWNE thought it was greatly to be regretted that the government had not introduced a bill on this &object. The bill provided for a subject which was creating a great deal of feeling in Ireland, and which would had to disastrous re sults unless something were done for its settlement. He contended that in places where the population was shout exclusively catholic, these children should be registered and brought up se catholica. Mr. GROGAN hod nothing to day spinet the tone of the speeches which had been made in suppmt of this bill. But he thought that co reason hod been given for changing our law on • mere mobsbility. The law had been clearly laid down by Lord Justice Blackburn., a gentleman whom know ledge and honour were not surpassed by any man in Ireland. lie believed that the bill would introduce an element of dis cord into the boards of pardiani t He quite admitted that if the religion of the And could be ascertained, the child ought lobe brought up in that religion. With regard to the provision of the bill for sanding out these children to nurse, he believed tbat this prevision would greatly increase the practice ref deserting children. A child would be deserted, end when that happened some one would easily be found to outrun that, " Biddy So-saduo" was a good girl, and the child might be tont to ber. Biddy So-and-so would be the mother of the child, and thus the mother would be paid for performing those duties which nature east upon her. It was easy to see how the pradice of desertion would flourish leader a system like this. (Cries Divide.") He moved that the second Wading of Me bill to postponed to that day six months. Mr. MONSELL said that there ought to be a distinct declaration on the part of the government as to the course which they intended to pursue on that occasion. (Frantic cheers from the Irish lumbers) Mr. DOBBS moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. B. OSBORNE thought that the silence of the govern ment on the subject looked vet y much like an Immediate dis 'elution of the house. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord Nam) and the right hon. gentlemen (Mr. Whiteside) eat silent at the other side of the home when they ought to declare the intentions of the government. He demoried a statement from the government of the course wh ich the y in ' , beaded to pursue. (Cheers.) If they were silent the Roman catholic, would understood there wee no friendly feeding on the pert of the government towards them. (Hear, hear.) Lord NAAS said be had no disposition to armee' the views of the government on this cpesetioo. He would, how ever remind the house how this queedion cams en. At 6 o'ciriek the propoesr of the bill rose and made the fleet state nt which the house had heard on the subject of the measure. That was followed by his hon. friend, who moved the second resdieg of the bill that day six months. Now under each eircumatances be did not think there was any thisg so unusual in the government not stating imme diately their views. (A laugh.) He did not wish to con ceal from the home his °platen. Hs believed that this was a most important subject—a subject requiring the greeted oomideration. (Laughter.) He was going to stale his view of the measure itself. (Hear.) He believed that the the bill of the hon. member for Galway, instead of ending the question, would lead to more aeriancey, more disaster, end more confusion than did the existing law. Asol he he lined, and wood be prepared to show at kgreper thee, that the object of the hon. member would be better seennet by taking some other course. (Hear, hear.) Mr. FITZGERALD asked whether the new government poor-law bill provided for the settlement of this queeiton. Mr. WHITESIDE said that tie tone of the hon. member for Dome was nut that which ought to have been assumed towards the government. He had not say right to trey is effect "why ere you silent when I desire you to speck f" He believed that there was not in the bill to which Mr. Fite {treed referred any provision on this subject. The bill would soon be printed, and the hon. member would be able to answer his question himself. (Hear hear.) It being a quarter to six, pore debate stood adjourned. The other orders were then dis of, and the house ad jourced at six o'clock.

(Cheers.) The repose' to allow the bill to piss into committee must not be ontettained by Due referents ; for if this course were adopted with a view to striking out obnoxious clauses and to modify others, they would be deceived. Hr.

LIZtI27NANT HENRY EVELYN WOOD AND TER ORDER OF VALOUR• The case of this officer, who behaved so as greatly to distinguish himself as a idshipman dining the Ruesiao war, and who, having transferred hie services from the naval to the military profession, has acquitted himself with equal honour In the 'apprentice of the Indian mutinies, has been brought under our notice. In General Miche despatch from Allehabad, dated Oct. 22, 1&%, we find epe l's cially men tioned " the gallantry of Lieut. Wood, of the 17th Lancers, who (having, from paucity of officers in the 3 rd Cavalry, volunteered during the campaign to command a troop of the 3rd Light Cavalry) on this occasion (a severe engagement with a large force of mutineers) Oman sines-handed came d up to an attacked • body of the enemy.' Going back to the eventful deys of the Crimean campaign, we read, in the male of the heroic Naval Brigade more than one tale of bravery in which this young officer's name is conspicuous. On the 17th of October, 1854—just four yews retinue to his display of valour In India—he volun teered with Mr. Daniels to Min powder from the rear, under heavy fire. .0n the 18th, a shell having buret in the covering a • parapet magazine, he instantly jumped upon it, end alone busted Monett in clearing and repairing it, under • heavy fins, till joined by Captain Peel, for which he received the thanks of that officer. On the 19th of April, in the following year, he was noticed by Admiral Lushinron, standing on • parapet, repairing a deep gap made by the enemy's the, which was so heavy that itclaunted that:toppers, whose purger work it should have been. Again, on the 18th of June, ride, hum a sick bed, he volunteered to join the ladder perty • sod, though waundcd in the rand , he assisted to carry the l adders' up to the Reiss, and was the only naval officer who advanced aa far as the &battik Them noble acts are well certdied in letters from Lord Raglan, Sir Stephen Lushinged men writes a few and Captain Peel.

I saw him (Wood) in the trenched, and ho bore it like a hero. He was Peel's A.D.C., and Peel endeavoured to keep the boy from the murderous fire into which they plunged with the scaling ladder, but ho would take no minuet and went out with the rest." Aad in writing to Mr. Wood himself, Sir Stephen says t—" You have none to thank for the Legion of litnour but your own gallant product from the tint to the last crowning act, when you walked up from the Radon, with a huge gape shot Welting in your arm, which I took at first for the bone protruding." Captain Peel praises the young man's " beautiful courage in battery," end add, that "his conduct end meats ere u ezem lary art his courage' In his memorable speech at the -honer, Lord Lyons &elated that no brighter instance of devai or was con- Woad In the pages of obivaity tbao the COll diet of Captain Peel and his aides-de-amp, among whom Kr. Wood came in for special notice. We have been somewhat circumstantial in recaliiog the services of Mr. Heenarryy Evelyn Wood, because we hare that, on the most inomcNvably absurd ground, he hoe leen refused the distinction of the Victoria Cross or Order of Valour.
