The first of Mr. Leslie's concerts, for this season, was gives last eveitiog at the Hanover-square-roans, el wild; rooms, iodised, it rYybesa - id to have been lin in auguration, for they were row opened to the public far the first time, after undergoing an amount of repair and re decoration which has given the building quite. new aspect. The great room, tiled with company, and brilliantly lighted ■p in a new and most tasteful manner, had an appearance of elegance, cheerfulness, and comfort, certainly not equalled in London, and probably not excelled inll4cope. The shalt exhlbltted l usual amount of nil - imolai strength, and has evidently been carefully kept in practice; far the voices, since we last heard them, have acquired in enssed firmness, precision, and unity of effect ; increased softness, delicacy, and increased attention to all those mi nute refinements as which vocal expression depends. And it ha. also Maimed power of sustaining the pitch with in. strumental accuracy, a faculty which, of all others, is the moat didkolt far choral singers to acquire. They sang many pieces of great length and complication, unsupported by any amompeniment, and yet we could not perceive that their seises had fallen to the extent of a comma. THE TRADE IN ORANGES. Oranges are imported in boxes containing from 250 and more, and in chests hoidiag 500 to 1,000. The gamin. tity of this fruit imported has been steadily increasing for some jean past. In the throe pars ending with 1842 the avenge imports were 334,070 boxes; in A s e ra y e a rs eliding with 1850 they had increased to 380,000 boats. Since then the quantity has been computed in bushels. The average annual imports in the five years ending with 1860 were 977,440 bushels. The quantity taken for coasumption has now reached upwards of 1,000,000 bushels, and, assuming each bashed to contain 650, this would give 650 millions of oranges, or about 22 for each soul of the population in the kingdom. The appended figures indicate the source of supply of this fruit to Great Britain in bushels • 1655. 1660. Portugal Azores Spain Sicily Other quarters 806,153 1.164,410 The Acores or Western Wands, from whew* the Sores t, or Si. Michael, °ranged come, it will be seen furnish as with the largest supply. The imports from theme have doubled in the last five years. The expense of walling and planting an acre of orange garden is stated to be shout IV. for the wall, 8/. for &5 trims, and 2/. for labour. It yields half a crop of beans or Indian corn during eaves yam, bat Ito oranges ; from sight to eleven years half • crop al Granges is obtaimed. Afterward. • full crop, which is mil ler 101. to 15/.

The tress bloom in March and April, end arenges am gathered for the Lon 100 market se early as November. The Portuguese never eat them before the end of January, at which time they possess their full Savour. In the season of 1651, which produced by me mesas an unusually large crop, not lees than 353 esrgow of oranges, acslaiming about 200,1)00 lame boxes, bddisg MOO amities, were shipped fres the Western Islam& Fara formerly exported • t many craws, but the insect pest, which appe ared 1e e 1640. 10 4 few jean killed all the trees there. molars annually exports about 30 =sod Si.

It was estimated that the produce of trait in this island during 18119 was 252,01 , 9.000 of orange* cad 40,000 lemons ; of these all the lemons and 40,000.000 masses were coosonsed on the island. The export of oranges from St Michael wee 179,379 boxes in 1652 ; 121,3 a boxes in 16.43-6; 100,079 is 1456.7 ; 179.9= in 1857.8 ; end 130,856 boxes is 1656-9. The trade has been suffering for several years from severe depression, owing to the low prices obtained for the fruit in Ragland. la the season 1656.9 the growers obtained an average of 10... d. per box, which is considers] a very fair remunera• live price by the proprietors of orange gardens. None than half the orange crop is shipped in the months of November cud December. The value of the fruit im ported k Chroosic now reaches , early 600,0001. annually . — Gardeners' OLYMPIC THEATRI.—The intelligence of the 1.0- hen of Meson. Mason and Slidell by the Federal govern meat was communicated to the audience at this theatre by Mr. Robson, and evidently afforded the liveliest satisfaction to all present.

Ties SLIM. or THZ SERPENT. —The pestilent doctrine that the African nices were destined by Divine Providence to be hewers of wood and drawers of water to the es-rs civilised peoples--is a word, that involuntary aorritude is, perhaps, the lot best adapted to their lower organisation, is stealthily finding its way over from the Southern States of America and creeping into shelter among ourselves. We will not stoop to argue the pies tiro it involves. We thought the convictioos of English. saes upon it wore settled years ago. Aod yet such organs as the Saturday Renew and the London Review sample not, by their tone of writing, to give countenance to the slave theory, or, at any rate, to the phynologieol awiumptions upon which it rests. in all the references they make to the subject, It !coke aa though the planting interest were fesliug is way back to the Bri tish mead, aid insinuating its vile notions and its still viler sentiments into every accessible channel of public opiuion.

HESSE CASSEL. DISSOLUTION OF THE SECOND CHAMBER. OABBEL, Jse. 8. The members of the Second Chamber, in reply to the communications of the government, have made a declaration to the effect that they cannot relinquish the rights granted to the country by the constitution of 1831. In consequence of this declaration, a decree was read to-day dissolving the Chamber. ITALY. (nor A FLORENCE, *TAN. 2. Baron Rica/soli having failed to find a Minister of the Interior, conies boldly forward, and although allowing that it would be useful to complete the cabinet, Insintains that the ministry can still carry on successfully the affairs of the state ; he will probably keep his position in spite of the opposition, the most active of these being the movemeat party, who are for pushing forward at all hazards, sag as moos as possible staking the issue on Italian right aims ; they would not be satisfied with • Mager French arenas in the government, or with the quiet system of neireasineset sad expectation for some years. As a amend prier* this idea of self-help is without doubt right, sad no cos willowy that the wise test of the fitness of Italy for freedom will be bwr own power of ranks( it. Irina' are the people to decide whether the Pope shall be sovereign of their mime% capital, air whether Austria shall remain mirror of Vries; but their kind friend of France, who acts r many busy friends in private life, and insists oa giving aid in the most disagreeable way, and even offen it when least wanted, decides that the young nation is not yet ready to receive its re ward. Doss the Emperor believe that he is now sowing the suds of future friendship, and that 26,000,000 of united: and free people, as we hope soon to see Italy, nail feel grateful towards him for the tender care of their early days ? We in England do not suMeintly spender the Woe te regrew whisk the advance of this Dation pre. wises, if real sad mined freedom am contras to be dis seminated as at present ; the rapid growth of the rue mat be very striking to those who knew Italy some years eines. At Turin a newspaper seems to be almost as noose wry to breakfast as at home, and yet a certain class of lour asestryleee, with their usual self-satisfactioe, sneer at the &Bookies sad straggles now existing ; a common selitence is, that Italy never was and never will be united; alto gether forgetting fur how many centuries our ancestors carried on the same contest ; that, not much more than • century ago, England trembled at the descent of a few ball chiciplioed mountaineers, and that many still alive can remember Ireland in a chrook state of rebellion. It is not now the question as to what Italy once was, but what she now wires, and is able to be. The abuse of precedent or re finer to the peat is often productive of immense mischief, when circumstances are entirely altered ; as the author of • late pamphlet on the temporal powerof the Pope correctly remarks, " it is sot now the question how useful this power /when been in ages sodifferent (remains; thequestiun now is if it be so at present." We believe it never was beneficial to either religion or humanity (if two words may be used that earns almost the err idea), and we agree with Dante that the couferriog of temporal power on the head of the church was • curse to the world. One of the finest pea sages in "Purgatorio" is • lament on the divided state of Italy demanding union under • strong grommet, and this mighty poem has doubtless bail its effect in binding the minds of the nation together and preparing them for the position they are soon to occupy. Whatever may have been for ages the faults of this people, and their petty dissensions and faction fights, it must be acknowledged that they have suffered severely from foreign foes. These took advantage of their disunion and made Italy the cockpit of the world. She now seems to have profited by the severe lemons, and all parties are willing to make sacrifices, the only differences of opinion being as to what amount or for what end. None of the States united last year are contented with the present etre of affairs ; none are willing that the other should be first, bat like the monks in Carlyle's " Monastery," all will vote Rome mooed, if not first. The King, when receiving the complimentary deputation of New Year, said that Italy must prepare to make new sticrifices to fulfil the glorious undertaking of ludo modems. What sacrifices will be made remains to be proved. Will politicians give up all jalousies and ambition for the one great object of unity? Will the republican party be satisfied to throw their energise into the great national struggle, and work for the great end wader a king who has so far proved himself to be the right man in the right place? Will the nobles and clergy yield ere it be too late, and take their true position sea leaders of the people! blame do so ; but there is a large party ad verse and retrograde. Yost important of all, will the taxes be quietly paid when apparently oo adman is being made towards the great aid? The toss of the majority of the press would indicate a favourable solution of these difficulties ; and although we notice the not unusual desire that public works should be pushed on in the various districts in which tech paper may be published, the press is agreed oa the necessity of unity and prepara tion to attain it. A feeling seems to be of late on the increase that Garibaldi is meditating moms action, and some of his letters support this opinion. if the country rows with him resistance would be impossible, but that this would occur seems more than doubtful, and an unsuccessful attack on either Venice or Rome would be almost fatal. The Italian army is doubtless excellent, but es at peanut ea lamed it is not yet proportionably stronger than two yearn since. The Southern material is not yet as good es the Northern, and the Auetriaa position is now much stronger than that of 1859. Nothing is impossible to a people deter mimed to win liberty, and if Garibaldi unfurls his banner we wish him the wooer due to aerie'. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TOMMY.

The company also propose to acquire additionallands at Doncaster. Tai TRAFFIC .OF Till THAMER.—Considering the position sssumed by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the softened temper of the Government as regards the right of the Board to lead the way in the work of embank ing the Thames, together with the various proposals for Thames valley railways, lathed by joint-stock companies, we may fairly anticipate that, before the Metropolitan line is open for efficient communication between Paddiogton and the City, that some important works will he commenced for improving the transit across and along the Thames. The Lon don, Dover, and Chatham lines of communication are being pushed forward with rapidity : the requisite cuttings haveadvanced far beyond the point where it crosses the Crys tal Palace line ; mid the bridge which is to span the 'Pharisee at Blackfrian will doubtless be made to harmouise with the new Bleckfriara-bridge to be constructed by the City. The most momentous question to be settled is the embankiug of the north shore from Bridge-street to Westminster, for which a fund in already accumulating. We may expert to see the first practical step taken for the construction of • river wall, a gigantic sewer, and • roadway, some time early in the forthcoming summer—perhaps earlier—if parliament will be gracious, and take iu hind quickly the respective bills sent in from the Boaralitof Works, the =tion, and the new railway companies. But the ment must evidently not be undertaken in haste. London is like Mr. Briggs ; one work of improvement opens the way to another, and what is begun for the accomplishment of a single object, often ends in • complication ; and half the town has to be rebuilt as the coosequence of removing • turnpike, or giving • swifter fall to an ancient sewer. In the ace of the Thames embank meat, it will be urged that the disturbance of the bed of the river, and the tidal correct on the north side, will probably unsettle the foundations of wharves and landings on the south side. The removal of shoal deposita from the entre of the stream will cause a settling from the south bank towards the mid-stream, which may bring with it a consi derable amount of walling, piling, and other riverside sub structures ; so that the north side will be improved at the expense of the south, unless both banks are reconstructed simultaneously. It is no small argument for embsoking the south side, that lame districts abutting on it are already below the level of the river itself, MA any extra flux of water to the right shore will mum inundations, not only of publiouis cellars sod other underground stores, but also of the highways nod dwellings of a thickly-populated region, where floods are already sufficiently destructive and disas trous. Granting these points, it is further urged that the south side is as much in need of improved means of cora muoicetioe as any part of Loodoo abutting on the Thames, and the transit between Nine Elms and London Bridge re quires a river-side mid, for the relief of the inland thorough. fares and the necessities of commerce. In plain truth, the question of Thames embankment has, like most other tons, two sides : and unless both are impartially con sidered, it will be impossible to do justice to the noble river, which now loses itself on dreary mud Bats, nor to the traffic of the metropoliu which converges largely towards the stream at Bankside, Bermondsey, said Lambeth, equally as on the line of the Strand and Whitefrisurs.—Carg Pren. - ; ACCIDENT ON THECH•ILINO-CROIE RAlLWAY.—Yes terday morning an accident occurred on the Charing-mom Railway, by which the life of James Hartley, employed in the construction of the viaduct near the Illackfnare-mad, is plated in imminent peril.

It is not to transact the usual masonic business, nor are we met to express our grief for the loss cif a dig tipluithed member of the craft, but I feel thoroughly con fident you will agree with me in thinking that the Grand Master only rightly interpreted the spirit and Wing which pervades the craft when he summoned us hare to-day for the purpose you have heard described ; because, brethren, although we are a epeeist body united by peculiar ties, and bound together by peculiar secrets, it is nevertheless one f oedemata' rule of oar association that every mason should be a good citizen and loyal sub , ject, and that we should not overlook those general public duties which are incumbent upon as as much so as they are on any other community.

Therefore you will, lam sure, concur with the Grand Master in tbinkieg the present a proper occasion on which to approach the foot of her throne, and lay before her Majesty the respectful expression of our deep sympa thy. It is right as masoas we should make this declara tion, for attachment to our country end to our Queen is only what is consistent with the fleet principles of our order. It is right fur the order itself that we should make known these sentiments. But melancholy as is the occasion, and deep ea ia the loss we have sustained—a loss which cannot be replaced, and must be long felt by the people of this country—there is yet one consolation in the midst of such melancholy *lie- Con, that it has afforded us and the nation another oppor tunny of drawing closer the bonds of affection and l o o l yala that bind together the Sovereign and the people I ,country.

On Tuesday forenoon an interview took place heaven Mr. Tidd Pratt lad the trustees, it the office of Mr. John Hawkedord, the actuary to the beak. Mr. Foxda le presided; and the committee of management were also preseat. A deputation of the depositors' committee, appointed at the public meeting on the previous eight, were also there. The deputation consisted of Mr. (lettings, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Gosling. Mr. Pratt remarked that he mould offer ao advice nor express any *aka that would be of service until after he had ex amined the books. Acting upon a polite intimation from the chairman, the deputation from the depositors' com mittee then withdrew, and they were soon afterwards followed by the committee of management. The subse quent interview between the trustees and Mr. Tidd Pratt was of brief duration, and the ooeveredion of a general character. Mr. Tidd Pratt then commenced his examination of the accouota, with a view fully to inform hinted( of all the circumstances under which the defalcations have arisen, the date at which they commenced, and the like. And be was occupied in Lie investigation the whole of the day. After having ac quired a knowledge of all the facts that am ascertain able, Mr. Pratt will be prepared to call a meeting of the depositors, and advise them as to the best course to adopt, sad to instruct the trustees upon the course for them to parses. Mr. Pratt has unlimited power in such matters, and .there is no appeal from his decision. It must be a source of considerable satisfaction to the depositors to know that a man of Mr. Pratt's standing and expel-Uses is investigating the affairs of the bank , inasmuch as his in qy'ries relate not only to the amount of deficits, but deo- to the question of who are the men responsible for those deficits. We do not expect that it will be found that mare than one man is responsible ; still, if to any extent other preen are liable, the depositors may be sure that Mr. Pratt will me that they (the depositors) ob tain all the benefit from such liability that is possible. Fears are very generally entertained throughout the district that the wreep they have sustained will Mace • recklessness ou the part of a large number of the depositors which will result in more serious COMO °to those and their families than could follow upon the Ices of • far larger portion of their savings than will sow occur. But we illlve too much confidence in the good muse of the working classes who have invested their money in this bank, In believe that any such consequences need be eltertained. By far the greater number of the depositors will, upon obtaining the proportion of the assets to which they are entitled, redovest them in the Poet-office Savings Beak, where, although the interest may in some cases be one-half per coot. leas, yet the depositors have the security of government fur all the money they Invest.—Biriningliam Daily Post, Nsw GOVERNMENT EDIJOATION SCHEME FOR Eloonrim.—We ( Baur Journal kern on authority likely to be well informed, that n are pending which may not improbably eventuate in the withdrawal of Scot laid from the action of the revised mile.

Its further stated that this scheme (for it is as yet no more) contemplates • great extension of the parochial school system, and the establishment of female schools. It ts obvious, ' however, that the adoption of the scheme must depend very much on the reception it meets with from the Free Church, and other denominations snpporting schools.

INCREJUiE or FAUPERDIM.—The returns recently made to the Poor Law Board show • large increase in November over the number of paupers to October, and beyond what the mere advance of season would amount for.
