BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. trams oua owe coaassrornimm.) BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY, SHPT. 8. The concert of yesterday evening, if h did not* present anything absolutely new, was one of the finest ever given within our memory, either at Bir 7 . mingham or anywhere eliie ; and nothing could indicate more emphatically the vast progress in the taste of the provincial public of England than the quality of this concert, and its reception by the vast audience who crowded the Town-hall. 'Those 'who remembered the kind of evening concerts given at the very best of our music meetings (not except ing those of Birmingham), even within these twenty years, could not but be struck with the change. Instead of a jumble of the fashionable opera airs of the last London season, popular songs and ballads interspersed, perhaps, with a familiar overture or two, by way of giving the band something to do, we had, last night, a aelection of the most refined and classical music, unalloyed by a single bar of baser metal ; and this entertainment, so severe and lofty in character, kept alive the interest of the audience till mid night. The length of the concert, indeed, was its only fault ; it was too heavy a demand on the at tention of the moat musical hearer. The first part of the concert was composed of the Lobge.sang (or Hymn of Praise) of Mendelsaohu. This work, tt will be remembered, was composed for the Leipzig Festival of 1840 on occasion of the inauguration of the statue of Guttenburg, the in ventor of printing. In the same year, and within a few months of its original production at Leipzig, it was brought out at Birmingham, with an English version of the words, and under the composer's personal direction—one among many instances of the energy with which the Birmingham Festivals are conducted. Its success on that occasion, and the popularity it has subsequently gained in this country, are well known. It has become a standing piece at the Sacred Harmonic Society's concerts in Exeter-hall, where it is given generally several times every season, to the immense assemblages who frequent those concerts. Hence it is almost as well known as klijah, and even better known than St. Paul. It is not, however, one of those things which would seem calculated to gratify the general taste. It derives no adventitious attraction from the interest of a dramatic story, nor from that familiar melody which catches the ear of the many. It is literally what its title indicates—a hymn of praise and thanksgiving ; this is the whole subject of a large and complicated work. Its form is peculiar, and invented by Mendelssohn himself. It is not a vocal hymn accompanied with instruments ; but a work in which voices and instruments are equally employed in singing the power and goodnessof God. The author designates it as a sinfonia-cantata. It opens with an orchestral symphony in several move rant s—one of the largest and most fully developed instrumental pieces extant—which passes into a series of choruses, airs, and recitatives, in which the powers of both orders of music are brought into combination. There can be no doubt that the idea of this combination was suggested to Mendelssohn by Beethoven's famous choral symphony ; but Mendelssohn has turned the suggestion to a new and original account. The performance of this work last night by the Bir mingham orchestra and chorus, with the solo vocal parts sung by Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mass Palmer, and Mr. Sims Reeves was perfection, and its effect upon the audience maybe imagined. Of the many beautiful pieces included in the miscellaneous portion of the concert I can only specify a few. The band played two of the finest overtures—Weber's Ruler of the Spirits and Cheru bini's A nacreon. Madame Arabella Goddard, with Mr. Ssintou, played Beethoven's Sonata in 0, Op. 30. Though this, strictly speaking, is a piece for the chamber, yet the performers filled the hall with their rich volume of tone, and the most delicate effects of the music were distinctly heard. Mademoiselle Titian,' sang the grand invocation to Hope, from Puielio ; Made moiselle Adelina Patti, the air, "Non mi dlr." from Don Gieranni ; Madame Sainton-Dolby, the grand scena, " Divinitrs du Styx," from Gluck's dictate ; Mr. &Utley, the air, " 0 ruddier than the cherry," from Adis and Galatea ; and the lovely trio from the same work, " The flocks shall leave the mountains," was sung by Madame Rudersdorff, Mr. Cummings, and Mr. &tales , . I mention these pieces nearly at random, for almost all the others were of equal merit. The performance of this morning was devoted to the Messiah. The day on which this oratorio is given is always held to be the great day of the fes tival. This morning, accordingly, the ball was as crowded, I apprehend, I.b it could possibly be ; but nevertheless there was HOY so great a difference in its aspect from that of the previous mornings as I have seen on other occasions. Yesterday the hall looked as full during the performance of Natiman ; and the day before, when St. Pau! was given, it looked nearly so. It is only from the returns of the numbers present that the difference will be made apparent The following was the distribution of the parts among the principal singers. The whole of the tenor, from begiuuing to end, was given to Mr. Sims Reeves, and never since the days of Braham bas it been so magnificently sustained. In the first and second parte of the oratorio the soprano was as signed to Mdme. Lem mens-Sherrington ; iu the third part, to Mdlle. Titiens. The contralto was divided between Madame Sainton-Dolby and Mini Palmer ; and the whole of the bass was given to Mr. Santley. The arrangement was quite satisfactory ; all these singers being the right persons in the right places. The performance, in all respects, may well be called perfect ; and probably the almost superhuman sub limity of this immortal work never was more fully displayed. The audience were profoundly still and atten tive. The only encore called for was the air," I know that my Redeemer heath," sung by Mdlle. Titiens, and there was nothing to disturb the solemnity of feeling which this divine work inspires. When the chorus, "For unto rasa child is born," began , some persons made a movement as if to stan d ; but this needless parade of devotion was not encou raged. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who sat in the front of the president's gallery, did not move, and the audience followed his example. The custom of standing during the " Hallelujah " has been banded down by tradition since the days of George 111., by whom it was introduced ; and the feeling created by that ineffable music justifies such a deuionetratiou ; but it should never be carried further.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NEW RAILWAY WORKS AT LEWISHAM. Yesterday Mr. Carttar resumed an investigation gibs Trinity Arms Tavern, Church-street, Deptford, rela tive to the &litho of Thomas Wilbur,, aged 35 years, and William Harris, aged 21 years, who were buried alive by the fall of a mew of earth and chalk, on the new works of the South Eastern Railway Company now in program at Lewisham. The inquiry had been adjourned from the End inst., for the production of the fullest smentifits and other evidence as to the manner in which the work bad been carried out. It appeared that from the previous examine. don that the deceased and other men were, on the Ist lust. employed in widening a deep cutting on the North Kent line between the New-crow and Lewisham stations, and for this purpose an excavation was made under an immense mass of chalk. Whitt so engaged a slip took place, and the de ceased, with two men named William Biggs and Thomas Davis, were buried beneath about 80 tons of the debris. Biggs and Davis were extricated before life was extinct, and conveyed to the hospital, where Davis had one of his legs amputated. Mr. Stevens, from the office of Mr. Freeman, solicitor to the South Eastern Railway Company, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the company, and the follow ing who're@ were now examined. Thomas Earl, an excavator, employed on the works with the deceased men on the day in question ' stated that th e cutting at the point where the reddest occurred was about 12 feet high, sod an excavation was at the bottom of this cutting to the extent of about 24 feet in width and 3 feet high. The work was dose proper) ,and witneesdid not see any danger. The entire frontage of the cutting was of chalk, but alter the fall took place it was found that the soil at the back was, to • depth of 6 or 7 fest, altogether composed of earth, and this in the opinion of witness was the sole cause of the accident. .1t was usual after au excavation had been made, if it was considered that the work in progress was dangerous, to send a man to the top to give notice of any appearance of fissure that might be perceived previous to driving in piles or wedges with mallets, for the purpose of detaching the soil on the top of of the excavation. In this case no person was stationed at the top, as it was considered that the chalk went back for some distance, and it was impossible to know that about seven feet of earth was immediately behind the chalk. The men were just going to the top to drive the piles when the fall of soil took place. Wither and other men had • very 'arrow escape. Davis, the man now in the hospital with his leg amputated, was foreman of the gang, and it would have been his duty to have sent a man to the top had he considered it to be necessary. By the Corooer—He did not think that the work could have been carried out is a better or safer manner than it was, considering that there was no indication of the soil being otherwise than chalk. Robert Coles, William Frost, and John King, labours'', employ ed at the time with the deceased and injured men, were then examined, and all agreed in opinion that the ea tastrope was purely accidental, and was caused entirely by the sudden change of the material from chalk to earth, which could not be seen until after the slip had taken place. Mr. John King, foreman of the works in program for the construction of the new railway, stated he is employed under the direction of Mr. Ashcroft, engineer to the South Eastern Railway Company. The work was not being carried out by contract, but entirely and im mediately by the South-Eastern Company under their own engineer. Witness was in the habit of inspecting the work constantly, and was on the spot about half an hour before the accident took place. There did not appear to be the least danger. The front of the cutting, excavated for the purpose of being made wider, consisted of about one foot of black soil on the top, the remainder being entirely chalk, and of still firmer substance known as bullhead. The work was carried out in • proper manner under the iospectioa of the chief engineer ; and witness be lieved that the accident entirely resulted from the existence of a mass of earth immediately behind the facing of chalk. The presence of this earth could not be known until the fall bad taken place. By the Coroner—He had measured the depth of the earth behind the chalk from the surface, sad found it about 7 feet, and its diameter was about the lame. This suddea chugs of the material from chalk to earth was no docibt the cause of the accident. With every precaution it was impossible to rased against these madden clumps of soil, which were well known as potholes, and had been the caws of many accidents. Mr. Peter Ashcroft, engineer to the South Eastern Rail way Company, deposed he frequently inspected the works, but had no fixed time for so doing. He was on the spot about one hone after the accident and Inspected the works, which from 31 years' experience as • practical !engineer he could say ware carried out in • proper manner. He saw the cutting a short time before the accident took place, and for some days previously. It was quite an ordinary work, and no risk or danger were anticipated. In fact the chalk, i kc., of which the side of the cutting was composed, was so hard that it took two boars to get, by the application of wedges, he., a fall of material preceding the fall, which was attended with fetal results, and which took place entirely in consequence of the pot-hole being behind the chalk ; and the material of which the sides of the cutting was composed was so bard that he had contemplated the nee of gun powder to remove it after it being undermined, and he had spoken to Kiog, the foreman, oa the subject ; but it was considered inadvisable to um powder on account of the constant passage of trains on the North Kent line, which wait through the cutting. He had no doubt that the vibra tion from the traffic tended to loosen the earth after the excavation had been made, and might have hastened the accident. He could not attribute blame to any person em ployed on the works, which were carried cut os • proper aye. tem. Could any parses be to blame it would be the ganger (Davis), now lying in the htal without hope of recovery, and it was evideet that ba de beets aware of any danger he would have done his best to avert the accident. He wished to remark that this work was beg carried out by the com pany—no coutractoes were *imp ed—the men were all paid good wages, and worked at per y H. had had my years experience ea railway works, &dime that accidents bad semen from similar causes, viz., the sudden finding of pot-boles containing loose earth, Su. At the Watford tunnel twelve men were buried under the dibris from this SPORTING INTRI,LIGRNCR. WEIGHTS FOR THE MIAREWITOH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. NEWMARKET BISOQND OCTOBER MEETING. 011111nAr.

WESTMLNISTER. Mrs. Emma Belgrare, a respectable-looking married woman, living at 45, Halsey-street, Chelsea, was charged with assaulting the police, Patrick Leonard, 57 B, said that at 2 o'clock that morning he heard some garden pots fall as from • window in Halm-terrace. He immediately afterwards maw the defendant and two other women running into Halsey-street from the direction where he had heard the noise, and he subsequently found that • garden pot had been knocked down from the parlour window at 6, Halsey-terrace, and a second taken away. When he maw the defendant and the other women, he asked them what they had been doing, when they replied, "Nothing ." lie had turned his light on and stopped them, and said they had better come back, and he himself turned to do so, when the defeedant struck him twice in the month, and afterwards again assaulted him and knocked his bat off at the station door. Defendant positively denied the charge, and said that the constable had not only taken her into custody without the slightest cause, but had struck her twice on the aide of her bead. Mrs. Sarah Wilson, of No. 3, Rome-villas, Whitehead grove, Brampton, said that she end • female friend were in company with the defendant. Her friend had come from Shoreham ' Sussex, to which she had returned that morning, and she had, accompanied b the defendant, taken her to the Oxford Musio-hall, which with their walking all the way home, accounted for their being out so late. On arriving at the corner of Halsey street witness was running across the road saying, " I must make haste home." when the constable came up and turned his bull's eye upon her fare. De fendant asked him what right he had to do that, when he caught hold of her and dragged her up the street. towards the station. She never struck him, and had done nothing whatever to him when he caught hold of her ; he nearly threw her over some railings ; he pushed her against the railing', and struck her twice ; be bent her bead back and broke her beads and struck her in the neck. Witness knew nothing about flower pots, and did not hear any men tion of them from the constable. Defendant never in any way assanhed the constable. Mr. Salle turned to • book, which the magistrates of this court keep for their guidance, in which the names of police constables coming before them are duly entered, with mirk" indicating their mode of giving evidence, exaggeration, or supra:don of facts, affecting the general reliability upon their evidence, and said the book was exceedingly useful, for be there found • "tick" against the named Patna Leonard. He had to decide in this Me between the, evidence on oath of the constable on one side, and the witness Wilson on the other, as defendant herself could not give her evidence on oath. He believed the account given brllra. Wilson to beta*, and be therefore discharged the defendant. There were two columns of names of thirty men against whom there were marks in the book before him. He shoold place • second tick against the name of Petrick Leonard, and if he had occasion to add a third, he should report him to the Com missioner of Police as • man unworthy of credit upon his oath, and unfit to remain in the police force. SOUTH WARE. George Trta was charged before the sitting magis trate with smuggling on board a vessel lying in the river Thames. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. George Carroll, ens of the examining officer' of the Beard of Customs, that in discharge of his duty he went on beard the Devine, • vessel which was lying off East-lanostairs. The defendant is the second mate of that vessel. He (witness) proceeded to make the usual search, and found concealed in the defen dant's birth 4lte weight of foreign manufactured tobacco, which he of course seized, acid took the defendant, who suede no defence, into custody. The defendant was convicted in a penalty of 403 a, or, in defaalt, 21 days' imprisonment. THAMES. Mary ellerceder, • married woman, was charged before Mr. Partridge with the following disgraceful ccedact in Heath-street, Stepney. It appeared that the prisoner, who lived at 98, Heath street, with her husband. CMOs home bat night about seven o'clock. She was in • dog cart, and as she came down the street she waived a handkerchief the whole distance. When the got near her own house she got out of the vehicle and raised her crinoline in a very improper manner. She then danced round the cart, and collected a crowd of nearly 200 persons. She thee picked up some granite atones which she flung 'meg the crowd. Police-coo/table 119 K was than obliged to take the pri soner into custody. Several of the neighbours came forward who stated that AO prisoner was often in the same way, and of causing a disturbance io the street.

The Coroner—My experience goes to prove that most of the accidents which have occurred during the construction of railways have arisen from these so called pot-holes, which in numerous cues have been composed of loose stones, gravel, hr. He had bald inquests on ten or twelve of these cur, and he remembered that during the construction of the North Kent line several men were killed at Greenhithe from a similar cause. A juryman observed he considered that a man might to be stationed on the top, in order to watch for any indication of a Assure ; and had that been deos in this case the acci dent might have been avoided. Mr. Ashcroft bad himself stated that the vibration of the peering trains might hare had an influence upon the loose soil behind the chalk, and this wu an additional reason why • person should be stationed to watch. Mr. Ashcroft—May I sale you, sir, what is the nature of your Imams, and whether you are acquainted with this deecriptioe of work? The juryman— I know sufficient of it to form an opinion ; and I don't know that you have any right to ask me the nature of my business. Mr. Ashcroft was most anxious that the tallest investi gation should be made. As to the question of placing a man on the top to watch, that meted with the poor man Davis, now at the point of death, and he wished that his statement could be taken. There was no doubt that if Davis had apprehended any danger he would have sent a man to watch. Another juryman—l think it is evident that • fissure must take place on the top before • fall takes place. Mr. King, foreman of works, observed that in this case it was a good thing that a roan wan sot sent to the top, or he must have fell with the earth and lost his life, inasmuch that the circumference of the pot-hole was abodt seven feet, and • mao watching for indications of a slip would no doubt have stood upon it. The witness Earl was then recalled, and in rosily to the Coroner, stated that it was usual for a man to be sent to the top when it was considered necessary. The Coroner—But when is it considered oeoessary ? Witnine—When we think there is any danger. A police-constable present stated that be bad cooversed with Davis at the hospital. and he said that he had not the least apprehension of any danger previous to the accident. The Coroner briefly referred to the chief points of the case, and The jury, after considerable deliberation, returned the following verdict : " That the deceased men last their lives by an accidental and unforeseen fall of earth on the line of railway between Deptford and Lewisham, and the jury wish to express their regret that on this occasion no inspection was made of the top by the foreman or ganger to ascertain the true 000dition of the work, or if any danger existed.* Mr. Stevens said the verdict should be duly animated to the authorities of the South-Fastens Compaq, who were meet anxious to take soy efficient measures for the protec tion of all in their employ. 7 r r 7 7 7 7 Prince Arthur Bel 'Hawaii Paris Birch Broom Loin Alma& Menton Tenney Joe The Little Bag Tomato Plibustier Bir Roger biennial° Buck Leonora Accitieut Early Purl Beaver Actrou Bacchus Woolsey Cranbury Morocco LWOW Historian Paidanin Berlina AMdaelt by Javelot Cantousede Tattoo Baldwin H Her by Stockwell Crochet King George Monitor Pupil Chirming Woman 6 Stackowner 414.44 of Tromps I nckworth Copenhagen Bonny Breast Knot 6 Peon ll Crisis Pennine This being the third and last day of the meeting, there was as immense muteness of spectators at North Down to witness the shooting. The carriages of the local gentry and visitors ooropletely lined the ridge of the down is rear of the shooting points, whilst the vest rues of the spectators had places assigned to them immediately in frost of the carriages. By far the largest portion of the ream binge were elegantly attired ladies. The bands of the Cirque Ports Artillery and Margate and Hamra* town bands were in attendance, and played alternately. Although beautifully fine the day was more unpropitious for marksmen than either of the preceding ones, as in addi. tioe to the strong light of the son upon the targets, there was at times a powerful gale of wind blowing from the left ' rear; still some average good shooting was male. The proceedings were brought to a close shortly before 6 o'clock, and tt was without doubt the most succeidul ing which has yet been held in this district, and redacts the highest credit upon Mr. Keeble, the general manager, sad all who have been eogaged in its modoct. There was not, so far as we could learn, a single complaint or accident of any kind. The prises are to be distributed in the evening at the Assembly Rooms, Margate, by Major-General Sir W. M.

This rumour, which many were unwilling to believe, turned out unfortunately to be only too true ; and as the intelligence spread through the town it awakened mingled consternation and eater:Adamant, since Kr.

WOOL AND; WORSTED. —BIL•DPOILD, BUT. ~ The high rate oforioney and the talk of peace in Anierksi tend to create great caution. The market this morning opened with a much better feeling, and some slight bininess was done, especially after the receipt of telegrams that at the Bristol fair quotations at Bradford were &nil) sustained, sad there was • prospect there of considerable business being done during the next two days. The further intelli gence at noon however, of a further rise to per cent , in the Bank ra te of interest bad the result of completely checking the better feeling which had begun to prevail. No further trainer was done, and the tendency of pricer was downwards, although Mtge holders of week still adhere with tenacity to quotations. Some, who think that wool must comedown in price, state that thin year Bristol fair can afford DO test m to future quotations, inasmuch as the great bulk of English wool is already stored in Bradford and not else where, and that the quotations ruling in this market must rule those in the country. On the other hand there are some who hold that, although the market is depressed and prima have a softening tendency, this state of things cannot be of long continuance, because the tuarketa of the world are only low in stack, and there is every prospect of abuttlance of corn. In worsted yarns them is little or nothing d o i ng for either home or foreign account. Prices have hardly been tested, but there is DO doubt that for a bona 14( order a concession in prim can be secured.
