MUSIC. MR. YELLOWS CONCERT. Mr. Mellon is carrying on his concerts, if not with increased succese—for it is incapable of incream— bet ,et with success that continues undiminished. From the very outset Coved Gerdes Theatre has been filled to overflowing e ven . night, and so doubtless it will be to the end of the series. Last night was culled by him a " Handel night," the ant part of the concert being selected from the great master's secular works, with as infusion of Corelli ael Bach. The pieces were gems "rich and rare"— things which rejoice the heart of every one who loves the music of the olden time, while ►t the same time they de the modern ear as much as they ever did, for such music never grows old. It is a pity that our caterers for the public, in their endeavours to satisfy the incessant craving for novelty, do not consider that the beautiful music of the great old masters, neglected and almost for ,:otteo as it is, abounds in delicious things which have, in fact. become novelties, and are as full of interest as any °ovally can possibly be. The concert last night began with the overture to .t• -. um! Oalatra, which was beautifully played by the admirable orchestra, but lost some of its effect from not bong followed by the fine chorus, " 0, the pleasures of the plains," into which it leads, and which seems inseparably connected with it. Then the charming air, " Love in her eyes site playing," was very sweetly sung by Mr. G. Perron. Next, Corelh's seventh trio for two violins and violoncello was played on two violonoellas and contrabass°, by Mr. G. Col:ins. Mr. E. Howell and Mr. Howell, sec , • performance which brought to remembrance the days of lamlley and Dragonetti. The upper part was played by Mr. Collins with his well-known beauty of tone and brit. hunt execution ; Mr. E. Howell sustained the second in • ' manner which showed that he is "a chip of the old block," and promises to he one of oar most distinguished per- formers ; end as to Mr. Howell, men., everybody knows tbat it was on his shoulders that the mantle of the bloom parable Dragonetti fell, and still remains. After this, the air from Headers "Sweet bird that the noise of folly," was sung by Madame l'arepa, accompanied on the flute by Mr. R. Patten. It was au exquisite performance, the singer and aocompanyist seeming to vie with each other in the bird-like clearness sod bnlliancyof their execution. Mdlle. Marie Krebs then played Bach's famous Peeks/Se Chrunustique, one of the most dif hcult compositions ever written for a keyed instrument. Her performance was perfect : she conquered every difficulty without the slightest apparent effort, seizing at the same time the spirit of the music in a way which showed the soul as well as the hand of a great performer. This young girl—she is little more than • child—has A bright future before her. Handel's fine bass song, "Niece al basso," was extremely well sung by Mr. Lewis Thomas ; the trio, "The docks shall leave Use Mountains," from Acis and Galatea, one of the most lovely concerted pieces in existence, was admirably sung by Madame Parepa, Mr. Peeress, and Mr. L. Thomas ; and the first' part of the concert ended with the Triumphal March, " The Conquering Hero," in Ado* Afevabens, performed by an immense instrumental strength, the orchestra being reinforoed by the bands of two of the regiments of Guards. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the whole of these per ' foresaw:we were received with the warmest applause. The second part of the concert was made up chiefly of the operatic selection from Faust, followed by • number of miscellaneous pieces, vocal and instrumental ; the whole terminating with Auber's overture to Le Domino Noir. RAILWAY COMPANIES' BORROWING POWERS. REPORT OF THE SELECT OOMMUTTEE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. This morning was issued the report by the Select Committee appointed to continue the inquiry com menced last session, and report as to what legislative mea sures are desirable for the purpose of restraining direc tors of railw►y companies from exceeding the limit* fixed by their acts of parliament, and from evading those provi sions of their acts of parliament which require that a certain portion of their authorised capital shall be subscribed and paid up before their borrowing powers can come into operation ; and also to inquire and report what securities can be given to the holders of debentures as to ►he validity and legality of the inane of inch bonds. The report is as follows : "1. The committee having examined witnesses, and con. sidered the subject referred to them, are of opinion that • compulsory registration of debentures and debenture stock will afford means whereby the directors of railway corn. panne may be restrained from exceeding the amount of their statutory borrowing powers. 2. It is the custom of parliament, when granting to railway companies the powers necessary for carrying out their undertakings, to limit the amount of money they should be permitted to borrow, and to prescribe the conditions under which such borrowing powers should be examined ; and it is evidently the intention of the legislature that no bonds or other negotiable securities, other than those crested under such limited and conditional powers, should be issued by the directors of railway compa nies. 3. This lineation is, however, easily and commonly defeated by the issue of ithligstioos (purporting to be for work done, or materials supplied for the purposes of the an. dertaking), commonly called Lloyd's Bonds. The holders of them" obligations can sue upon them, and recover judgment a4ainst the companies ; and enccess in any conflict for prio rity of claim between them and the holders of statutory de bentures, would appear, from evidence given before the committee, to be only • question of more or len diligence. 4. The directors of some railway companies are in the habit of inning wraith's of this description without consulting their shareholders, and without the knowledge or consent of the statutory debenture holden ; and the gross amount of them, which may be out standing against a company, is unlimited. 5. The committee are of oration that holders of statutory debentures, duly registered as above rethanmended, should have a right to remover and secure the payment of all prin cipal sod interest doe to them, by the appointment of a re ceiver in priority to the holders of Lloyd s bonds, or of any other obligations or acknowledgment of indebtedness not issued under the authority of parliament, 6. Such an ar raincenient may, however, be defeated, or at all events ma terially interfered with, if • creditor is allowed to seize the stock of the company, and thereby stop the traffic on the line, cod the income derived therefrom. The property is of a different character to other property. The public have • right to the use of the railway, and would be seriously in convenienced by the stoppage of even • short line. It appear', therefore, to the committee that this power ought sot to be allowed to the creditors of railway companies. The committee see no memo why railway companies should continue altogether free from the adjusting process to which other trading companies are liable through pro mediums in bankruptcy. On the *outran, they an of omen thin the present practice by which the affairs of companion practically bankrupt are patched up by successive Acts of parliament is iejurioos to the public, and too Ire %needy of no real benefit to the shareholders. When a company pays little or no dividend on its original capital the working expenses are often cut down injuriously, danger arises from insufficient service, and the risk of present loss attending any reduction of fares, even with the fairest expec tation of future probe, Ma bar toliberality of management. For the public advantage, it is desirable that a railway should yield reasonable returns to those wirier whose control it is placed; and when • company becomes seriously embarrassed. it is expedrot that the concern should be transferred to ethers, 00.1ef cheer management it may be efficiently coeducted. Tte knowledge that such most be the result of mismanage. meet would probably have • most beneficial effect oo the proceeding" of directors, and subject the credit which they wou:d be able to obtain to some useful restraint. With the present facilities for forming companies, there would be to ditheialtv in boding purchasers under sound and just re ;:Alatious to be provided in • public act, whereby parlia n.elit would be relieved from having to deal with a clam of privet, hills which are very troublesome to settle, and are Lever of a satisfactory character. The rights of the L..lders of statutory securities, includieg the re gular payment of their dividends, should of coaxes be carefully secured throughout all the proceedings. Ai an example of the extent to which some railway director' are disposed to infringe the restrictions and con ditions of their act; of parliament, the committee would ra:: the atteution of the house to the evidence given before • .itmoittee of the House of Commons during this session in IL, case of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway Bill.

(THIS DAY.) CLIABILVWELL. Al DATUILD HUSBAND. BIWA& Merrell, aged 36, a labourer, residing at 3. Church-way, Somers-town, was charged with violently assaulting Joseph Banyan, a stone modeller, of lb, Draper's-place, Burton•ciescent. The complainant who had on his face two or three patches of surgical plaister said—Last night about AI mistake past 10 I was in bed, when I was called up and informed that my wife was drunk and in an eel shop. I went there, and found the prisoner and my wife tilting together. The prisoner had his arm round m wife's waist. They had two cups before them, and they were feeding ach other with spoons from the cups, and what was more scandalous, between sack spoonful they had a kiss. (Loud laughter.) I said to my wife, " My dear, you should be at home," and then she again kissed the rimier. (A laugh.) I took hold of my wife, who is the mother of seven children, and nearly ready to go to bed with the eighth, and told her I should not allow her to have any more of that fellow's Wahl, when the prisoner jumped up and struck me a violent bl ow on t h e no, which made it bleed and cut my bp. I did not strike him, but left the shop with my wife, and when I had proceeded about tkal yards the prisoner again came up to me, struck IDS shoat the bead and body, and knocked me down, and whilst I was lying on the pavement nearly insensible he kicked me in the mouth. I did not do anything to him, but told him I should have the law of him. Both the prsooer and , my wife were drunk. I might have spoken crossly to my wife in the eel shop, but who could help it when you saw a man with his arm coned your wife's !Mat kissing her and feeding her with hot eels Thi;t;UPtsereild be did not wish to ask the witness any questions ; the fact was that they had all been out drinking and the complainant left him and hie wife together, and went home for the purpose of getting sober. William Bullhead of Lhgh-etreet, said—This gentleman here (the primmer) went with the other gentleman's wife. This gentleman here (the complainant) saw that gentleman there (the prisoner) putting bot eels into his wife's mouth sod kissing her. (Load laughter.) This gentleman here (the prisoner) had his arms round the Cotter gentleman's wife, and they were as happy as turtle doves. (A laugh.) The prisoner got up and hit this gentleman on the face and nose. After that they all left the hot eel shop. and when they had gone some distance this gentleman (the prisoner) hit him again, knocked him down, Lad kicked him twice in the fate.

Some foreign stocks have receded about I per cent. Bank and financial shares still show an unfavourable tendency.

One of the firms mentioned as having failed in the cotton trade is that of Messrs. Oelricbs and Co., of Mark-lane. Their liabilities are computed at about 50,0601., and the liquidation is expected to prove very unfavourable, extensive losses having been made upon cotton, owing to the recent heavy decline in the value of that article. The house has been established only about three years. The circular issued is subjoined : 76, Mark-lane, Sept. =, 1864. Gentlemen,—We regret to have to announce to you that, in consequence of heavy losses, we are coder the necessity of suspending our payments. Our accounts have been plaosd with Mews. Quitter, Ball, sod Co., who will pre pare a statement of our affairs for submission to a meeting of our creditors, which will be called for the earliest pos sible day, and of which due notice will be given to yon. Requesting in the meanwhile your forbemsnim, we are, gentlemen, your most obedient saran* - • OLUUCHS AND CO. The following relating to the failure of the Leeds Banking Company, is from the Leeds Mercury. It puts the possible result of the liquidation iu a very unfavourable light: Oassidemble misapprehension seems to prevail in regard to what took plus at the shareholders' meeting ou Wednes day on the subject of the liabilities of the company, and most of our contemporaries have stated that 1111),UOUI. was represented as being sufficieut to oover the lessee which the bank has suffered. This is an error which probably originated from the mariner in which the conversation was conducted. Mr. Middleton, who attended the meeting as the ressmatative of persons largely interested at aharie holders, was anxious to obtain something like an approxi mate idea of what proportion of lose the company was likely toanstajo of the 786,0004 which it was admitted had been advanced to customers ; and be put questions to the directors bevies that object in view. He was usable, how ever, to get from them soy figures which could guide him to a decision, and it was then that Mr. Joy offered the cog ration that probably the deficiency would not exceed 100,0001. Thenupoo Mr. Middleton asked whether the directors could nay that that would be the extent of the loss ; but to this question he received no reply. He then inquired if the directors thought 200,0004 would oover the loss. To this also no reply was gives ; but on his pursuing the matter • step further, one of the directors did venture to offer an opinion that the lose would not be so large as 300.0001. The directors, indeed, did not appear at that time to poises the information which would enable them to give any confident opinion on the subject. . . . . . The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,174/. over last year. The receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the month of August were 406,076 dollars, against 332,098 dollars iu July, and 314,521 dollars in June.

LORD PALMERSTON'S CONTEMPORARIES. —A recol lection of his own career, and a survey of the politicians he has around him, must give Lord Palmerston a very cynical feeling touching the oonvictioes or the coosisteocy of public men. His cabinet is • collection of the statesmen who, at various periods of his life, have been bitterly opposed to him. Forty years ego he was a tory, and Lord Russell was • whig. Twenty you, ago he was a +hi& and Mr. Glad stone was a conservative. And it WY but six years ago that both combined with Mr. Gibson to turn him oat of °Mon, The list of transmutations is not complete without the mention of the one remainiog statesman of ea older der whom hi Ministry does not contain. Lord Derby forty yeam ago was hi opponent. a little mom than thirty year. ago was his colleague, and now is his oppo nent again. The roll of changes is probably closed now, and his Maeda and adversaries will remain as they are up to the end. In other countries—where events, when they move at all, move more precipitately—there would be nothing surprising in such a career. But it is probably some time since the witness', and the subject, of so many political COOVISSiOIIII has addressed an English audience. Associated with such memories, exhibiting such marvellous physical powers, Lord Palmerston is privileged tempest without say solicitude as to the amount of matter which kb speeches may contain. end it is a privilege of which he is aiviously determined fully to avail himself.—Srtfirre/0:, THE ARCHDEACON or SERREY.—The Archdeacon of Surrey, by virtue of his odlce. is impropriator of the greattithes of Farnham and four Ohm surrounding pariahs", all of which tithes haws been hosed out on lives.

LITT2R FROM " FATHER lONATIOS."—The Norfolk News of to-day certain' • letter from Father %maim, in which the extracedleary letter of one of hie monks to a boy, published in last Saturday's E.rpress, is thus referred to:—" I have sees the absurd and ridicoloas letter which Brother Augustine wrote. I can may mmouall for it by really believing it was peened daring a tem porary fit of insanity. Nevertheless, our raise compel his expulsion, for his having stringed the orders of the house, first, by writing • letter secretly, secondly, by attempting to procure a photograph or anything else, without leave. I do not, cannot, and will not believe that this absurdly foolish letter was written with the motive of alluring the boy from hie home, nor was it 'to fascinate and beguile dear children, and to supplant their parents in their affections.' There has never been any letter written to any child before from the monastery, either to boy or girl. as Mrs. Hass has been led to insinuate, except by myself, and that with the full knowledge of parents. I am thankful to say that I do not write anything that I am ashamed of, and if any young person in Norwich to whom I have written would like to gratify a curious public, with my letters, they are perfectly at liberty to send them to the Norfolk New. I only hope they n.ay prove beneficial to their readers. Truth I always wish to ;am* out and at once. As the letter in question was rosily written,. I am not sorry that tha Norfolk News has published it ; it is • scandal. It hammed without my knowledge ; I knew nothing of it till I sew it in the Norfolk Nero this morning. I am very much grieved to think that Satan has BO far suc ceeded is bringing trouble upon our great and most holy work ; but in the end I am convinced that we shall find it was for our good, the otreegtbetung of nor faith, and the furtherance of our sacred cause. For myself, my treatilleot a( the young people who throng the monastery, boys and girls, will be mullets:l. If they require it, I shall punish them as I always do ; if they deserve it. I shall reward them with kiodoess and eocouragement ; sometimes eves giving them ' fruit.," hymn.books,' and ' other presents.' I am so much premed for time that I must oxiclude, hoping to write at greater length in a day or two. Had the News bean • Christian newspaper, it would have omitted my name on this occasion, which it bee already triA, but in vain, to scandalise. As, firstly, lam ?AO miles away; and, secondly, I had nothing to do with this business, I know that neither I, nor my work fort ;04, will b e i n j ure d by this late scandal, though Satan and the Norfo'k New will doubtless try their utmost." . - WILLS •ND BKQIIDITS.—The will of Mr. Joseph Vickers, of Park•rillas, Maida-hill West, was proved is Loudon under 100,0001., the executors mad trustees being Mr. Charles Vickers (his brother-in-law), and Mr. Henry B.

He said the nail had been given to him in the soup. Mr. Wm. N. Barker, Enfield, said that the deceased was removed to his house from the residence of a friend, near Manchester. Dr. B. Godfrey, of Enfield, said the deceased was in per- fect health up to the time of hie taking the nail in the soup. On the 13th mat. witness was called in to attend him. The deceased described the occurrence in the following words:— " I went to Manchester on Thursday last. Wheal arrived at the Rugby station I called for • basin of soap. It was hot. The bell rang. I bolted it up and jumped into the train. The pain I felt was intense. On Friday 1 dragged a nail or bead, three quarters of an inch long, from me." Witness examined him, and found the whole mucous membrane of the bowel torn away. Erysipelas set in, and he expired from the effect. of the so-Weat on Thursday evening. From the time of the occurrence to has death he suffered the mast intense agony. Witness asked him what he did with the nail. He said, "The nasty thing had • jagged edge. I threw it away. " He also said, " When I heard the bell ring I bolted." The Coroner Laving summed up. the jury returned a Ter. diet, " That the dammed expired from the effects of taking and swallowing down accidentally a certain sad while on • recent journey to 3fancheeter." The promediop then terminated. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT MIDDLESBRO'. MIDDLESBRO', Famsr Es - mnwo.
