LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVNNING, AUGUST 28, 1867. inUitt. THE BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FISTIVA.L. (nos one anew, 001111/SPOIDENT.) BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY. 11$1 festival has opened with weather as bright ane genial as that which prevailed during the Hereford music-meeting last week, and with every prospect of the same continuance. At half-past ten, an hour before the time of commencement, the doors of the Town-hall were thrown open, by whici judicious proceeding, and the excellent ar rangements made for the approach and admission of a large audience, all confusion and inconvenient crowding were avoided. Elijah has, with a recent exception, generally been chosen for the com mencement of the Birmingham festival perform ances ; and most appropriately, since this oratorio will Always be associated with the name of the town, and its great music-meeting, at which it was produced exactly twenty-one years since. In his treatment of Elijah Mendelssohn has in fused more of the picturesque and dramatic ele ment, more of intense human sentiment and imtiiillse than are to be found even in his ISt. >Paul, in which there is more reflection of the severer style of the older masters, Bach and ' Handel. He has not, perhaps, reached the vastness and sublimity of Handel in great choral effects ; t but, on the other hand, neither St. Paul nor Elijah contains any admixture of those thoroughly secular and conventional strains which, in some of the songs of Handel's oratorios, are undistinguish able from the bravura sirs and exhibition pieces written for the individual display of stage vocalists of that time. There never lived a musician of more thorough purity, or possessed of more ele vated views of his art mission, especially when applied to sacred purposes, than Mendelssolui ; and both his St. Paul and his Elijah, and other of his smaller religious pieces, will ever remain models of devotional feeling embodied 'in music, the occasional picturesque, and (so to speak, for want of a better term) dramatic writ ing in which is quite distinct from the style which the same great master would have adopted for stage situations. At half-put eleven Mr. Costa took up the place which he has been accustomed to occupy, as con ductor of the past six Birmingham festivals—his appearance being received with general and earnest applause. The national anthem was then sung— first being played through by the orchestra, then a verse sung by the sopranos of the chorus accom panied by the organ, a second verse being assigned to the contraltos and altos with a portion of the orchestra, the conclusion being given by the full band and chorus. After the short introductory prologue, "As God the Lord" (declaimed by Mr. Weiss), the overture was played Iby the splendid orchestra numbering 140, and including most of the best players of the London I opera-houses. This masterly prelude (in which the form of the fugue is wielded with a facility equal to that of the great contrapuntists of old, combined with the elaborations of modern orches tral effects) was, of course, admirably played. The follo/ing chorus, " Help, Lord," with that ex quisite phrase, " The harvest now is over " (in 'which the suavity of modern melody is allied to 'sublime aspiration), was sung with great precision and excellent light and shade by the fine chorus assembled—the three hundred and sixty-three members of which are, as already pointed out, almost entirely local choristers. The duet, " Zion ispreadeth," with its interspersed answering choral phrases, was given with much refinement by Mesdames Lemmens-Sherrington and Patey-Why- Itock. Mr. Sims Reeves, who was announced for the tenor solos, not appearing until the second part, I the recitative and air " If with all your hearts" was sung by Mr. Cummings, who gave it with great expression. The beautiful double quartet, " For he shall give his angels," was led with excellent effect by Madame Lemmens•Sherrington, well supported by Mrs. Sutton, Madame Patey-Whytock, Madame Sainton- Dolby, Mr. Cummings, Messrs. Mason, Briggs, and Smythson. The fine scene in which the widow appeals to Elijah for succour for her dying son, was well declaimed by Madame Sherrington and Mr. Weiss. The following chorus, " Blessed are the men," with its exquisitely vocal phrases and undercurrent of figurative stringed instru ment passages, was admirably given by both orchestra and chorus, as was the following picturesque chorus, " Baal, we cry to thee," with the admirable effect of the responsive phrases and the masterly use of the brass instruments. The succeeding highly-coloured and elaborate choral movements too, sung by the priests of Baal, with the rich orchestral effects in the accompani ments, were given with admirable pre ; cision. Elijah's airs, " Draw near, all ye people," and " Is not His word," and so indeed all the bass solos of the oratorio, were sung with that energy and earnestness which Mr. Weiss in variably infuses into this music. We must I pass over the solemn quartet, " Cast thy burden," with its chorale-like phrases (sung with much religious feeling by Mesdames Lemmena-Sherrington, Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Cum mings, and Mr. Weiss—as well as the arioso, " Woe unto them " (expressively given by Madame Patey-Whytock), and come to the con cluding chorus of the first part, " Thanks be to God." This glorious piece of jubilant sublimity, its prolonged strains of religious exultation ; with those marvellous and original harmonic transitions occurring twice at the words "But the Lord is above them"—such an effect as was produced by this movement, performed as it was to-day, we have seldom heard. Often as the oratorio has been given at Birmingham, nothing could ever have surpassed the splendour of this particular effort, nor indeed is it possible to imagine anything beyond it as within the possibility of human execution. The effect produced was profound and universal. In the second part the soprano solos were assigned to Mdlle. Titiens (as they were in the perform ance of the oratorio at the recent Hereford fes tival). It is needless again to dwell on this excel lent artist's admirable delivery of " Hear ye, Israel," as of the incidental recitatives; her per formance displaying her usual high qualities of voice and style. Mr. Reeves, too, has so frequently sung the music of Elijah that it is only requisite to say that he gave the several recitatives, and es pecially the air " Then shall the righteous," with true fervour and elevation of style. The beautiful trio of angels, " Lift thine eyes," was sung as it could not fail to be by such artists as Mdlle. Titiens, and Mesdames Patey-Whytock and Saba ton Dolby—but it produces a brighter effect TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (=MI TILIORAIIS.) FRANCE. PAIL'S, AUGUST 27, EVINING. The France of this evening publishes an article ' ', headed " Moderation," in which it comments upon the language of various organs of the Prussian press. The article concludes as follows : "It is neither to Paris nor Vienna but to Berlin that counsels of moderat'on must be addressed. At Berlin designs are on foot which are dangerous to the peace of the world, and ought to be restrained. Let us ask one thing only, namely:that the treaty of Prague be re spected. If this treaty is trampled under foot, and new acts of aggression lead to new complications, who will be condemnable I—the one who demands that treaties should be respected, or the one who commits an act of robbery? the one who attacks or the one who defends ? DENMARK. 00PRNHAGEN, AIIOOBT 27. The Fat:leek;Wet says :—" A banquet was givrt the day before yesterday by the members of the Danish Military Club, at which the King of Den mark, the Crown Prince, and the Czarewitch, were present. The Danish Minister of War made a speech ? in which he declared that all his efforts had been directed towards the formation of an organised, well-equipped, and enthusiastic army, in order to be in readiness when the moment should arrive for reoonquering the territory which Denmark had lost. The King looked very serious during the delivery of this speech, and later in the evening his Majesty had half an hour's conversation with , the Minister of War. It is stated in p olitical circles that a marriage has been arran ged between the Crown Prince of Denmark and t he Princess Royal of Sweden. The King of the Greeks is expected here to morrow. At the beginning of September next his Majesty will leave for St. Petersburg, in company with the Czarewitch and his consort. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, AUGUST 27. The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of to-day says that Prussia has expressed to Denmark her rmd;- nen to open negotiations respecting the guarantees to be given by the latter for the treatment of Ger mans in North Schleswig. The discussion of this question will probably take place at Berlin. The Prussian gunboat Blitz, with Cretan emi grants, arrived at Athens on the 17th, and after disembarking the emigrants returned immediately to Candia. Mr. Bancroft, the new American minister, will proceed to-morrow to Babelaberg, where he will have an audience of the King in the presence of Count von Bismarck, and afterwards dine with his Majesty. Mr. Bancroft will go to Dresden on Friday. BAVARIA. MUNICH, AUGUST 27, HYMNING. The new official paper, Buddestache Prase, pub lishes to-day its political programme, in which it declares that it is the mission of Bavaria, as the chief South German State, to mediate between Austria and Prussia, in order to prevent the re currence of a conflict between those two Powers. THE SPANISH INSURRECTION. MADRID, Amuse 27. According to the latest official despatches re ceived here, 1,000 insurgents in Catalonia have taken advantage of the amnesty and surrendered to the authorities. Contreras with 100 men form ing the remnant of his band has pealed into Arra gon. The bands in Arragon which a short time since numbered 1,200 men do not now exceed 400, and the rest of the insurgents under Pierrad and Contreras are moving towards Benasque and Con trans on the frontier, pursued by the troops. The res. of Spain is quiet. The insurgent chief Pierrad, arrested at Per pignan, is not General Pierrad, as was stated, but hig brother, formerly • colonel in the bpanish army. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. By the arrival of the above mails we have ad vices from Madras to July 27 ; Colombo, July 30 ; Shanghai, July 5 ; Hong Kong, July 12 ; Singa pore, July 20, &c. The Madras Athenaien says that the subject of an improved system of weights and measures ap plicable to the whole of India has been before the government of India since 1864, and after pro tracted correspondence on the subject with the several local governments and the Secretary of State for India, a mixed committee for the three presidencies is to assemble in Calcutta on the 15th of November, to decide upon a system of which they can recommend the adoption. The guiding considerations which the government of India have recommended the committee to keep in view are the practical convenience of the system for adoption in India generally, and its capability of being placed in easy relation with that now existing in England. JAPAN. The Herald, of June 27, in its summary says : The visit of the ministers to Osseo has been almost for gotten, but beautiful as was the gloss on everything when they were there, and smooth as seemed the surface of the lately troubled waters of Japanese affairs, there seems to have arisen a veuniversally felt apprehension in the minds of the tra ding classes around us that the result of the visit will be not the opening of the ports, hut a very determined and even armed opposition to the Tycoon, unless that prince permits at all events the large daimios on the seaboard to open their ports and to trade with foreigners. _ Advice. from Nagasaki to May 18 state that very bad weather had been experienced at that port. On the night of the 14th May it rained in torrents and caused a great deal of damage and loss of life ; about twenty Japanese are reported drowned or killed by the falling houses. Two large wooden bridgesin the town that lead to Desima were completely washed away, and a great deal of damage done both in the native and English set tlements by the great quantities of water pouring , down from the hills. Many of the godowns have' been flooded, and much cargo damaged. It was one of the severest storms experienced at Nagasaki for some time. Four or five stone bridges were carried away, houses flooded and destroyed, and a large quantity of rice damaged. The Manila arrived on the 18th, bringing Admiral Keppel ; he has since transferred his flag to the Pelorus. The Serpent left on the 17th to survey the new port on the west coast. Noti would probably be the place chosen. AUTHORISATION OF THE IMPORTATION OF GRAIN INTO SPAIN.—MADRID, AUGUST 24.—The following royal decree has been issued, ►uthorising the import of grain into Spain :—"Agreeing to the proposition of my council of minister'', I decree as follows :—Article 1. The introduc• Lion of foreign corn and foreign flours along the coast from Cape Croat to the mouth of the Guadiana is authorized for the period of four months. Article 2. All corn and flours imported in virtue of this authorisation shall pay al fiscal duty of ha' centimes of a crown per hectolitre for corn and 10 centimes of a crown per hundred kilogrammes (or metrical hundredweight) for flour in Spanish bottoms ; and 10 centimes and 80 centimes of a crown respectively in foreign bottoms. Article 3. The circulation of grain and flour shall be maintained free and without obstruction of any kind throughout the kingdom, under the efficient protection of the administrative authorities.--Given at San Ildefonoo, August 22, 1867. Signed by the Queen, and the President of the Council of Ministers, Ramon [STAMPZD, U. ADDITIONAL I when given by two sopranos and one contralto. Madame Sainton-Dolby gave deep I expression to her several recitatives and incidental solos, her chief effect, of course, being produced in the air, " 0 rest in the Lord," which was repeated at the request of the noble president (applause not being customary at these oratorio performances). The performance of the whole oratorio was a re markably fine one, worthy indeed of the special identification of the work with Birmingham, to which we have already alluded. The expectations of a more than usually anemia ful isms to the present festival seem likely to be fully realised, the returns for this morning's per formance showing the following results t —President and vice-presidents' seats, 271 at 21i. each, 2841. 115. ; secured seats, 904 at 21s. each, 9491, 4s. ; unsecured seats, 438 at 10s. fxl. each, 229/. 195. ; donations and collections (including 1851. from the President), 6411. 3s. 7d. ; total, 2,1041. 175. 7d.

MISS KATE TERRY'S "FAREWELLS" AT THE ADELPHL Last night Miss Kate Terry appeared as Juliet in I Romeo and Juliet, and to justify a notice of this imper sonation we must almost assume that her retirement from the stage will be only temporary. She is announced to perform this character twins more during the present week —on Thursday and Saturday—and to play Beatrice cm the other two nights, to-night and Friday. Alter this week she will go to Manchester, so we are informed, for one month, and after that month we shall lose her as an actress. Miss Terry, we need scarcely say, is still young, but she has been a long time before the public. She began early. The great Shakespeariaa revivals at the Princess's, when that theatre was ender the management of Mr. Charles Kean, derived • charm from her perform ance of nearly all the juvenile parts. In this theatre she was tutored by Mae. Charles Kean, which may or may not have been an advantage. Many great actors and actresses who possessed that mysterious quality known as genius or instinct had very little training, especially the founders of styles of acting. We have heard it stated that Mrs. Alfred Wigan did much to mould the impul sive genius of Robson, but having seen that remarkable actor in many of his best parts years before he was heard of at the Olympic, we can only say that such tuition, if it ever existed, had very little effect upon his style. Mine Kate Terry ciamemoreprominentlybefore the public under Mr. Fechter's management at the Lyceum, and her intelligent acting gave a value to many comparatively worthless Anglo-French dramas. When Hamlet was at length thrived, she had an opportunity of distinguishing herself as Ophelia—a character in which many far leas clear-headed and ambitious actresses have been more or less successful. There was a dreamy poetizal grace about the performance that was very striking, and singularly in har mony with Mr. Fechter's Hamlet. Her next move was to the Olympic, where she appeared in • succession of Anglo-French dramas, of more or less merit, some of them being of a highly sensation►l charac ter, and also played Viola and Sebastian in a revival of Twelfth Night. From the Olympic she went to the Adel phi, where she has appeared in many dramas of a domestic kind: same of them remarkable, but unsuccessful, like Rad ; others successful, but not remarkable. She has followed in the footsteps of Miss Bateman by performing pastoral drama, as Dora, and has selected Bulwer, Sheri dan Knowles, and Shakespeare for her fiaal appearances in London. bliss Terry's acting has always seemed to us to be more intellectual than emotional—to have more head than heart in its composition. There toss been a want of blood, of vitality in many of her clever and highly elaborated im personations. Her voice and face have, to a certain extent, been against her : the former is thin and slightly heady ; the latter wants openness and breadth of effect about the eyes. She is seen to most advantage in parts requiring repose of manner, but stage repose is, after all, a mere second-rate artificial trick that has no claim to stand by the side of force and passion. Mr. Charles Kean practised this trick till it became absurd in some of his characters—particularly in a drama called Pauline, and Mr. Alfred Wigan made good use of it in Still Water. Run Dom. Miss Terry's Juliet is one of her best impersonations. Nearly everything she does in it is done with apparent effort, but the intention is excellent, and the execution only fails in parts from pure physical weakness. The potion scene in the chamber, for example, requires more bodily force than she is able to throw into it. The point in the scene with the nurse at the close of the third act where Juliet ceases to be a weak, loving girl, and becomes suddenly a strong self•reliant woman, was admirably marked. The balcony scene was a little artificial, but very charming—not, perhaps, girlish enough, sod not so demonstrative as Mdlle. Stella Colas made it. In elocutionary grace and power it was equal to Miss Helen Fancies recent performance of the same character. The house was crowded in every part, and the stalls contained many public men and other celebrities. We cannot take leave of Muse Terry, if it is to be a lee vs taking, without thanking her heartily for much she has done, and particularly for her consistent efforts to main tain the dignity of her art. She has never been guilty of slop-work. If she should ever return to the stage, she will always be warmly welcomed back as an intelligent, agreeable, and conscientious actress. SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION. —The arrange ments for the forthcoming annual congress of this associa tion at Belfast, on the lath September next, are now near completion. The Hight Hon. Lord Dufferin and Clan. deboye will preside over the association, and deliver his inaugural address on the evening of the opening day. The jurisprudence department will have the Hon. Mr. Justice O'Hsgau at its head, with the Irish Master of the Rolls over the Repression of Crime section. Dr. Andrews, F.R.S., vicelpresident of the Queen's College, Belfast, will preside over the Education Department, ; Sir James Simp son, Bart., M.D., of Edinburgh, over that of Health ,• and Sir Robert Kane, F.R.S., of Dublin, over that of Economy and Trade ; with Mr. William Mulholland, of Belfast, so chairman of the Trade section. The Queen's College has been placed at the service of the association, and the departmental meetings will be held in the various rooms. Arrangements are in progress for the holding of soirees, and excursions are being organised to places of interest in the neighbourhood, in oonneximi with the association. Altogether the prospect bids fair for • large and influential gathering. The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company's steamship Chiltern, which left Greenwich on the 13th with the cable to be laid between Placentia and Sydney, arrived at Placentia yesterday, at one o'clock. The new land lines between Heart's Content and Placentia have been completed, so that after the cable is laid direct communication will be established between Sydney and England. We are informed that the Cuba arrived at st Ave o'clock on Monday morning ; all will. (TWOPENCE THE BOUNDARY CONMlsalun.

The visitation of the several winds of the hospital took place about two o'clock, the cleanly condition of the rooms and the comfortable date of the inmates giving great satisfaction. After this a private meeting of the court of governors was held, and subse quently a public meeting took place at the infirmary. The treasurer (stc. Tomkins) occupied the chair. The boo. secretary (the Rev. J. G. Hodpoa) reed the annual report, which showed the institution to be still in a tlourishiqr condition ; it pointed out that the sum of 10,000/. behing ing to the institution was still invested, notwithstanding the fact that for the past few years the sum of 6,OUUi. 054 been spent in enlarging the institution; it showed that the hon. secretary's ss. list had produced to the society for the past year no less a sum than 1,641 W. With regard to the benefits conferred by the institution, it stated that the number of patients treated and discharged since August 14,1666, was 641. The result of the treatment of these cases was as follows:—The number cured was 2118 men, 107 boys, 72 women, and 92 girls, so Ord there were :CM cured: being more than one-half of the number diacharged. Of the remaining number there were benefited :414 =nits, while 64 were discharged unimproved, and 14 STHANON CASE or POISONING BY STRYCHNINIS.— Aft inquest has been held at Sunderland on the body of Michael Pardon, a wharf labourer, aged thirty yeme ' who it was suspected bad died from poison. On Thu rsday night he and his mother had some supper of tea and bread, and a grandchild had milk. During the night the neigh bours in the same house heard deceased screaming with pain. The screams lasted fur more than half an hour, and the neighbours went into the room and found decease d in bed, and in great agony. He was attended to, AM' some time after he came round sufficiently to thank his friends and to smoke a pipe of tobacco. He was then left, but early next morning, on the neighbour. going in spin, the man was found to be writhing in great agony and Mr. Evans, the parish surgeon, .1.11 sent fur. liefore him arrival the man was dead. Deceased's mother and the child were also foiled to be very ill, with the same symptoms, but by prompt attention they were brought round. When the post-mortem of the body was to have been made, the neighbours of deceased were unwilling to permit it, and it was only by a strong guard of police that the medical officer was permitted to examine the body. Mr. Evans stated at the inquest that the man had died from the administration of strychnine. The deomsed's mother was examined, and stated that there had been no quarrelling, nor was there any rat or vermin poison in the house. She felt ill after taking tea. She was unable to state how the poison had been administered to deceased, nor could any of the neighbours who were called as wit nesses throw any light on the matter. The jury returned a verdict that deoeeaed died from poison, but how admi nistered there was no evidence to show. THE FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT CLETTFMRPES. —Two other bodies have been recovered close to the spot where the boat went down. One of them was removed to the demlla- use of the hospital at Grimaby, and was searched by a policeman, when a watch, which had stopped at 1.33, was found ; also several documents. The features were disfigured so much as to be unrecognizable. Arnonget the papers • return half ticket from Cleethorpes to Ash tomunder-Lyne was found, also a " contribution card" of a sick and burial society held at the house of Jesepli Knott, Red Lion Inn, Ashton, which showed that the last pay ment of three shillings was made July sheikh. This esta blished the identity of the corpse sa being that of Thomas Platt. The other was that of Mrs. Rawlimon. An inquest wee held, and a verdict of "Accidental death" returned. MOLD AND DENBIGH RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the °frame, Ethelburgmhonae, Rishopagatmstreet, Mr. A. T. lioberte in the chair. The business transacted was purely formal, and at its conclusion it was agreed that an adjournment should take place for six months. The Aberdeen herald has the following adver tisement :—" If the person who took (it is concluded by mistake) the white waterproof coat, belonging to Mr. Pitt Taylor, on Tuesday lest, will apply at the barracks, he can have the peg it used to hang upon, as it is of no further use to the owner !" Two brothers, John and Thomas Trobe. respectively 18 and 20, while bathing at South ShUV, on Monday night, were swept to sea and drowned.
