In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet the ministry brought in six bills. The first regulates common affairs in accord ance with the report of the committee of 1867. The five other bills abolish the laws of 1848 relat ing to the post of Count Palatine, the ap pointment of the members of the cabinet by! the President of the Ministry, the National Guard, the indissolubility of the Diet prior to the passing of the budget, and the incor poration of the military frontier province.

Eli, originally composed for and produced at the Birmingham Festival of 1856, is scarcely es mature a work as its compoeeris mars recent oratorio, Newnan. In Eli there is a mixture of the Handelian form of fugue with modem dramatic effects, which is somewhat anomalous ; whereas in Nrnallian Mr. Costa has .had less frequent recourse to the old scholastic style, sad has treated more to his real powers of picturesque writing, and those highly-wrought and unconstrained effects which belong to the SPAIN.

Tb. films of fugue and counterpoint have been so thoroughly exhausted, especially by that grand old master, Sebastian Bach, that it is almost impessible now to find novelty of subject or of treatment. Some of the fugal writing in Ur. poates 111 i, however, exhibits both power and facility in this form, together with a thorough knowledge of the best mestere of that style. Among other instances may be Mentioned the " Amen," following the chorus, " Blessed be the Lord;" the chorus, " Hosanna," on a subject com mencing somewhat like the air in Mozart's Plgaro. " Vol she sapete ;" the fugue, "So presents them," in the chorus, " Hold not thy peace," containing some bold and clear choral counterpoint, well contrasted with elaborate florid orchestral writing. These, with other M olasses in Eli, sufficiently attest Mr. Costes practical skill and deep study of one of the most recondite forma of Musieel art ; but one which, as already said, has been so thoroughly exhausted (like Gothic architecture) that scarcely anything but imitation is now possible. Others of the eieorasee is Eli are characterised by dramatic power and Egli:Mum beauty—the litter quality being especially noticeable in the choruses "The Lord is good," and the chorus of angels, " No evil shall befall thee"—both full of graceful flowing melody, happily contrasted with the triplet harp accompaniment. Eli also contains many solos of importance, especially those for Elkanah and Eli, rung last night by Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Santley with that declamatory power and finished style which render these artists unrivalled in such music. In the great war song with chorus, " Philistines, hark !" Mr. Reeves produced an effect such as only he can produce in music demanding exceptional powers of voice and elocu tionary style. Mr. /Motley, too, in his airs, " Let the people praise,Thee," "If Thou sbouldst mark," "Although my house," with ita richly elaborated orcliestrakaocam paniment ; and in other recitatives end solos displayed all those great qualities of voice and style which have gained him the special position which he now admittedly holds. The soprano solos were given with great energy by Madame Rodendorff, who pined great applause in the declamatory air, " I will extol Thee." The contralto solos were expressively sung by Madame Sainton-Dolby, who gave the music of Samuel with much devotional feeling, especially the morning and evening prayers, " Lord, from my bed ;" and " This night I lift my heart." The unac companied quartet for solo voices, " We bleu you in the name of the Lord," a Rowing piece of pure vocal writing, VOA encored ; and the spirited instrumental March of the Israelites, although not called for again, produced the same impression as at previous performances. Signor Foli deserves a special word of recognition for , his excellent singing of the secondary bass I solos waived to the Man of God; as also in the I duet (with Mr. Bentley) "Lord cause thy face." The sub ordinate tenor solos were efficiently suniaby Mr. Montan Smith. The hall was very full, and Mr. Costa was warmly greeted on his last appearance here for the season, as con. ductor of his own work, AMERICA. AMAIIIIO MILICHIAPH.) NEW YORK; MAT 17, 6 r.w.

The great 251. sweepstakes, 30 yards rise, at 30 birds, which commenced on Thursday, was brought to • conclusion yesterday ; but the shooting was not up to the average of the first day.

I TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPREEI. Sia,—The uninterrupted state of telegraphic communication with America is evidenced by the fact that in the course of yesterday 91 (ninety-one) messages passed, yielding 2,5911. 7s. (two thousand five hundred and ninety-one pounds seven shil lings). In order, however, to mitigate as far as possible the effec t of vague and exaggerated ru-1 mours, I feel it my duty, as chairman of this company, to ask you to place the public in possession of the following facts, viz.:—On the sth instant it was reported that, on the 4th instant, at 6.30 p.m., a large iceberg grounded off the har- 1 bour of Heart's Content. Newfoundland, about one and a-half miles N.N.W. of Northern Point,' and 200 yards east of the 1866 cable, in about 16 fathoms water. "No danger with present wind." On the Bth instant it was reported that " Iceberg has disappeared ;" but in passing over the cable of 1866 it seems, however, that some damage must have been done, for the signals through that cable became imperfect, and have now *eased. The cable of 1865, however, is uninjured, and there is no reason to doubt that the injury to the cable of 1866 will be repaired without delay or any consi derable expense. I need only add that the ca pacity of the cable of 1865 exceeds the require ments of the business, great as it is, between this country and America.—l am, &c., CHARLES E. STEWART, Chairman of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. 26, Old Broad-street, London, May 17. MR.. CHARLES HALLE'S PIANOFORTE RECITALS.

THE RRPRESENTATION OP OXFORD UNIVERSITY. —A convocation is appointed to be bald on Monday next, at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of electing one burgess to represent the university in parliament, in the place of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, who has vacated his seat by accepting the office of one of her Majesty's principal Secre taries of State. No opposition seems likely to be offered to Mr. Hardy's re-election. Mtestows ro SEAMEN.—The annual meeting of this society was held yesterday afternoon at Wilful's roome, under the presidency of the Archbishop of Armagh. Amongst those present were the Earl of Shrewsbury, Admiral Buckle. Admiral Goldsmith, the Bishop of Ripon. the Bishop of Cork, and several clergymen and gentlemen interested in the welfare of sailors. It appeared from the financial statement that the receipts for the year, in. eluding a balance from 1865 of 1,50e1. 11'e. Sd., were 7,6811. Bs. 10d., and that the expenditure bad been 7,5291. 12.. 10d., a balance of 1,7501. lie. Sd. being carried for ward to next year. The report stated that the work of the society had been steadily going forward during the past year, and the income showed an upward tendency which was most encouraging. The society, with its 37 chaplains, had sione a vast amount of good among seamen, and with a view to still further inereming its usefulness the committee had appointed a number of associated chaplains, whose duty would be to give informetion as to the progress of the mission at the principal ports. At Liverpool, Cardiff, Swansea, North Shields, and other na tions, the work was going on favourably, and at some of those ports special arrangements had been made to do away with the evils of the crimp system. The report on the motion of the Bishop of Ripon was unanimously adopted. Mr. Christopher Bushell gave an interesting account of the Mersey branch of the mission. Ha stated that the crimps in that town had been completely baffled by the society and the co-operation given by the local authorities, and as the influence of boarding-130mm affected seamen to • grmt extent, steps had been taken to provide Scripture readers to visit those plams. Addressee in support of the objects of the society, and appealing for increased support, were proposed and spoken to by the Bishop of Cork and ethos, and the proceedings terminated. RITUALISM AT KILBURN.—At a public meet ing of the inhabitants of Kilburn, held on Wednesday evening, at the Amembly•roome, St. John's-wood , the fol lowing resolutions were passed with acclamation, bell a dozen hands only being held up in opposition :-1. " That this meeting feels deeply aggrieved and alarmed that the services as now conducted at St. Mary's Church, Kilbur n, should have been so long tolerated, those services embracing doctrine and practices which are essentially Popish and idolatrous." 2. " That the present crisis in the church of England is one of such imminent danger, that it is the duty of all English protestenta to unite in defence of our national church from the Romaine in its pale ; and that it is the essential duty of all in thin neighbourhood to strain every effort until the services in St. alery's are again conducted in accordance with the principles of the Re formation, and the usage of the church of England for the three centuries it has been iu existence." A deputation was formed to wait upon the Bishop of London with a copy of the foregoing resolutions and to urge up n his lordship to nominate a curate in charge who will act honestly as a clergyman of the church of England, rather than as a priest of the church of Rome.

A "ROOD" SETTLSKINT OP THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION. The friends of Irish reform must not forget that whenever the time comes to deal with the Irish esta blishment they will have to encounter a demand for the setabliahment of Roman catholicism in its place. The following is an extract from a leading article in the MLitt on this subject: We are of those who think that the notion of settling the Irish church question by simply confiscating the pro perty of the protestant church, and abolishing its privi leges, is a foolish notion, and that it ought to be opposed as being foolish, futile, and wrong. Th ere are those who hold, as we do, that the legislature would do well to per measures tending towards the establish ment of equality between the protestant and catholic churches in Ireland, and who agree with us that it would be desirable that, while the affairs of the protestant church in Ireland should be resettled according to the reasonable requirements of the protestant church, the resettlement of the affairs of the catholic) church in Ireland should receive parliamentary sanction, after an arrangement and an under standing had been come to by the government of her Ma jesty with the only authority competent to give consent thereto, we mean the Pope of Rowe. We think it would be a good thing if this arrangement included such terms as that the catholic archbishops of Ireland should have seats in the Houma of Lords ; that the lands should be purchased by the state and settled upon the sees of the Irish catholic archbishops and bishops ; also that lands should be pur chased by the state and settled upon catholic deaneries, chapters, and ecclesiastical seminaries , also that glebe lands should be purchased by the state and settled to the use of the Irish catholic incumbents in Irish parishes ' • also that the state should grant an endowment to an Irish catholic university, and should give full recognition to degrees conferred by it. All these we firmly hold would be wise and beneficial measures, which would do honour to a statesman ; and we are far from being solitary in this opinion. . . . We hold that an attempt to settle the question of the protestant church in Ireland, except impart of a larger attempt to settle the question of the protestant and catholic churches in Ireland, would do more harm than good. Ma. CARLYLE AND HIS TORMENTORS.— In refe rence to the letter of Mr. Ruskin, in which he put forth a Parlous complaint against the " London mob,' on behalf of his friend, Mr. Carlyle, the Publisher.' Circular, after quoting the paragraph which appeared in our columns, says :—" Mr. Ca• lyle cannot, of course, be mistaken is saying that he has suffered insults from the mob of his own neighbourhood which he has not experienced from the lower class of Italian people ; but we believe that the fact is, that the head and front of Mr. Carlyle's offend. ing, in the eyes of the Chelsea gamins, is a huge felt hat of a peculiar shape, which, it appears, is less remarkable in Italian than in English eyes. It is, no doubt, very into- lerant and very wrong in Chelsea boys that they should be provoked to laughter by any article of Mr. Carlyle's attire, or that they cannot look at a philosopher's hat with out allusions to Guy Fawkes ; but the odious tendency to ridicule things which are strange simply because they are strange unhappily is not confined to Chelsea boys ; even among older and much more refined people, Mr. Mill's principles of liberty are still, unfortunately, but little un derstood. We should not be sorry to hear that the young offenders who have driven Mr. Carlyle to complain to his I friend had received a sound thrashing ; but we are glad to believe Mr. Ruskin has been too hasty in theorising upon the ' instincts' of the London populace, and that the annoyances which Mr. Carlyle has suffered have not arisen from the fact of his being' old and clean."' METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORE& —The usual weekly meeting of the board was held at the oboes, Spring. gardens, yesterday, Sir J. Thwaitee presiding. The board proceeded to consider tenders for the reconstruction of sewers in Berrnondsey•street, Tooley.street, Newington. causeway, &c. There were eight tenders, sod the board resolved themselves into a committee to consider them. On the readmission of the public the chief clerk (Mr. J. Pollard) announced that the board had accepted the tender of Mr. Thomas Wainwright, which was for the sum of 54,4001. Mr. Legg moved " That the solicitor be instructed to take steps, when the Metropolis Improvement Rate Bill is in committee of the House of Common'', for the inser tion of a clause limiting the taxing powers of the board under the bill to a sum not exceeding 2d. in the pound in any one year on the annual rateable value of the property liable to the rate, and that the resolution of the board of the 25th of May, 1866 (No. 11), limiting the amount of rate ' to be levied under the bill to 4d. in the pound per annum be varied accordingly." Mr. Evans seconded the motion. An amendment was proposed by Mr. Shaw, and seconded by Mr. Richardson, that the sum should be one penny. Upon a division both the amendment and the original motion were lost by a large maj4rity. The board then ad journed.
