ADDITIONALJ (THIS DAY.) Seeing triviality and litt'entee in the debate on the Irish TA-form Bill, the Times nevertheless is espreesed by its moderation, and is induced thereby to Wiese that it would be easy to pees a desert such bills before the pro rogation. In another article the Timm shows that Mr. Aytoun would have saddled the new parliament with • quarrel ready made to It. hands. With regard to last night's debate in t h e Lords, on the ca e of Sir Charles Darling, oar oonteroporary observes that* large liberty will be claimed by, and must be concedel to, a great comma ' sity like Victoria. However mush we may disapprove the proposal to make a present to • late governor, it is not so absolutely extravagant that the Colonial-office should be censured kr permitting it to be discussed. The Dolly News treat. of the exciting scenes in the Commons oa Thursday ; the latest Aleyeeleise sews ; the wide circulation at the present nomad of a persisioes boy literature ; end last night's digressing on the SCOW of Victoria. On the latter head, the Doily Irene eneemts that a better c raves the r iihs• Iskee by Me !sasses bathos, would seem to be — to permit the governor on the spot to give so much formal aseistance to his mieleters as i. necessary for their free action in the assembly, on the anderstinding that the final sanetioa of the mown will depend on the decision arrived at by the imperial govern ment, to be announced by the Secretary of State. The Herald and Stamford are almost at a ices to de scribe their indignation with Mr. Disraeli's parliamentary censors. According to the Hero'd Mr. Gladstone confesses himself in spontaneous concurrence with revolutionists all the world over. And this man aspires to be Prime Minister of England ! And Mr. Lowe sits silent, and the Times approves ! The Pod taiga Yr. Disraeli with attempting to throw on the Sovereign personally the odium which must attach to any resistanoe to the declared policy of a large majority of the representatives of the people. Referring more particularly to the Boundary Bill, the Telegraph says that day by day the position of the ministers is becoming more difficult. It objects, however, to hurrying the last moments of a ministry gradually going out. Mr. Bright, it thinks, should be above platform invective. Lord Salisbury, says the &ar , who made • pungent I maiden speech in th e H ouse of Lords last night, may be right in denouncing the doctrine enunciated from the woolsack as " a mockery and a delusion ;" but colonies that enjoy representative institutions, and create and de stroy ministries, are no longer in a state of pupilage ; and it will need all the wisdom of parliament to perfectly reconcile the dignity of the crown with the rights of colonial legislatures. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Referring to the political situation, the Saturday Review says that after all the explanations that have been given. no one is a bit forwarder or wiser. There is still a majority in the Commons bent on recording its views on the Irish church, with no hope of legislating, but only to prepare the way for future legislation; and we have • ministry which piques itself on giving satisfaction on every point except that which it acknowledges to be the ans of paramount importanes. With respect to Mi. Diernell's interview with the Queen, a nunHister has no business whatever to put an alternative to his sovereign. However pure his intentions were, and however much he may have been animated by nothing but an extravagant wish to be thought an uncom monly devoted servant of the crown, yet what he did was wrong. He advised • dissolution, and he advised it on the light pews* tint the teal ephicts of _the maiSat wee adverse to the disestablehment of the Irish church. It was for him as minister, and not for the Queen, to judge whether this is the real, though very secret, opinion of the nation ; and he had no reason whatever to suppose his advice would not be taken. The Queen has intimated that she will dissolve parliament when the course of public affairs will permit ; ►nd it was indispensable, from the existing condition of things, that the time of dissolution should be left uncertain. Under all the circumstances of the case, however, the Saturday Serino does not see that Mr. Disraeli could have done otherwise or better than he did. With regard to Thursday's debate the Saturday Reriew says it was clearly not right on the part of Mr. Disraeli to charge the majority with being a gang of robbers. The epithets which Mr. Bright used towardi the right hon. gentleman were apt enough, but things of this kind should not be said in parliament by eine leader of the House of Commons against another. Mr. Disraeli has been greatly to blame, but he is Prime Minister ; and leaders of the opposition must respect the office U they do not respect the holder. Otherwise the House of Commons will lose its character altogether, and will sink to the level of other popular assemblies to which it now considers itself so very far superior. The Examiner ems a dissolution near at hand, lad urges the opposition to facilitate the provisional measures said to be preparing for an earlier registration of electors this year. There is no doubt that, by means of the kind indi cated, the period for a general election might be fore stalled, so as to enable the new parliament to be sum. moned for a winter session. The alternative is between twenty weeks and thirty weeks of suspense, until the hold ing of the new elections ; for we discard altogether the ides of a dissolution, pending the existence of the present I repudiated constituencies. That would be mere mimesis , ing mischief, which could accomplish no moral or political purpose whatever. Political excitement, remarks the Spectator, has been increasing all through the week. The reunited liberals, warming to their work, have carried Mr. Gladstone's rs , solutions, but the government, though fully aware, as Mr. Hardy acknowledged, of its " severe defeat," insists on retaining power in the teeth of the House of Commons, and threatens that if opposed it will dissolve without waiting for the new oonstituessies. The house is so m elted that it is fortunate members no longer wear swords, I the leaders are in constant personal collision, and accusa -1 tions of " treason " are freely levelled. To make the situation really dangerous, the tones are declaring on all sides, guardedly in the Muss, openly in their public meetings, and rashly in society, that the Queen is with them ; that her Majesty will not allow the Irish church to fall ; that the sovereign is, in feet, above the representatives. They of course utterly misrepresent her Majesty, who for 30 years has been a constitutional sore. reign, and who of course does not think, with the Prince Consort, that the Iris& are the Poles of her dominions ; but it is clear they intend to raise the cry, " Our ohurch and our protestant Queen !" Do they, of all men, want to compel radicals to march to t h e polls to the refrain of Ebenezer Elliott's hymn, "Cod sans the people?" That will act be a nice beginning for the new electors.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS. The recent anniversary festival of this excellent isistitatien was reported in the Daily News some five weeks Mac*, sad. we have now to record its annual per• ' faunae* of the Mearkut, chieh took place last night at St. Jamse's•balL The adherence to this oratorio at each Jest's concert of the Royal Society of )(indolent is jogai ded not only by the supremacy of the work itself as the subliatest production of its kind, but also a a tribute due to the compeer, Handel having been one of the original promotes, of the society, and having bequeathed it 1.0001. at his death- -in addition to which, the Meager h has many times, during his life and afterwards, been performed in aid of the institution, with large pecuniary reenA • in its favour. With all these asso ciations, therefore, the work is pre-eminently that which should be given at the society's yearly conceit. Of the antecedents of Ibis inetitatiee, of itsexcellent ormisation and economical administration, we spoke on the resent occasion referred to ; as of its distribution, during the peat year, of upwards of three thousand pounds in the nustnowannee et widows and orphans, and the relief of distressed membeia. Lest night's Federman** of the Messiah was so similar en its details to other occasions previ ously noticed by ua that it is tuinecessair now t ) enter into minute particulars. The soprano solos were distributed between Mdlle. Carols, who sang those of the first part, and Miss Edith Wynne, to whom were assigned those of the second portion of the oratorio ; Madame Lemmens-Shertington giving the remaining solo, " I know that my Redeemer," and the soprano part in the following quartets. The contralto solos of the first part were sung by Madame Osborne Williams ; the air, "He was despised," in she second part, being given by Madame Bain' ton• Dolby. Mr. Cummings sang all the tenor solos, and Mr. Lewis Thomas those for the bask with the exception of " The trumpet shall sound," which was given by Mr. Winn with Mr. Thermo Harper's obbli gato accompaniment. The efficiency of all these artiste is too well known to need comment on their performances, but we may record the fact that they gave their gratuitous services in aid of an institution which has large and in creaaing demands en its fools. The orchestra, complete and efficient in every department, comprised many of our best instrumentalists ; members of our opera band., and of the Royal Society of Musicians—the principal violin being Mr. J. T. Willy, a professor long and highly Weaned in both capacities. The chorus was bright in quality of tone, and prompt and efficient in execution; and when we add that the most distinguished of living English musicians , Professor Sterndale Bennett, was the conductor, it is scarcely necessary to say that the per. torment° was a very fine one. MR. CHARLES HALLE'S PIANOFORTE RECITALS. The new series of these interesting performances commenced yesterday afternoon, at St. James's-hall, as usual. The present course of concerts (which are to take place weekly) is to include, besides the solo pianoforte works of Schubert, those minor pianoforte pieces of Beethoven which have been too much overlooked in public perfor mance. Although, of course, his grand solo sonatas (gym. phonies, in fact, for the pianoforte) are pre-eminent in extent and development, most of his smaller pieces bear the impresses of the same genius that produced the larger works. The selection from this source introduced at yes terday's mohnie, included the beantifnl and important Andante in F., Op. 35, originally intended by Beethoven as the slow movement of his great " Wsldatein" Sonata, Op. 53 ; but afterwards published in a detached shape also some of those exquisite miniatures, the " Bagatelles" Nos. 1. 2,3, and 7 from the first set, 0p.33. The remain ing instrumental pieces in yesterday's programme were Schubert's first grand sonata in A minor—the second impromptu from his Op. 30—and his grand fantasia, Op. 15, the slow movement of which is based on the oom ppoarsrr's well-known song, " The Wanderer." Mr. Halle's iaWtid perfeememee of some at these pietism has before been commented oa by us in our notices of the Monday Popular Concerts. Again, yesterday, Mr. Halle displayed all those high qualities of a conscientious, earnest, and skilled artist, which have long since placed him in the high position he so worthily holds. The instrumental selection was varied by two Bader, Schubert's " The mighty tress bend " ("Die junge none. "), and Meyer. beer's " Fishermaiden ;" both sung with refined expression by Mir Edith Wynne, and skilfully accompanied by Mr. The Bishop of Salisbury has now sufficiently re oovered from his recent severe illness as to be able to re sume his confirmation tour in the Donctehire portion of his diocese. Dr. Norman MacLeod, who has just returned from ladia, left London yesterday morning for Scotland. An art treasures exhibition, primarily designed for the benefit of a local educational institution. was opened at Over Darwen, on Thursday, by the Marquis of Hartington. Yesterday a paper was read at the Royal United Service Institution ' Whitehall, by Mr. Hyde Clarke, on the " Military Advantages of a Daily Mail Route to India through Turkey and the Persian Chef." Amonpt those present were the Persian Ambassador and Sir H. Rawlinson. ROYAL COLL6OI OF SIIIOZOND OF IRILAND. —The Carmichael prise@ have just been awarded to Drs. Kapp ther and Ash..

It appears that out of the 57 candi dates examined for the diploma of membership, only five failed to acquit themselves to the satisfaction of the court, and were consequently referred to their hospit a l studies for six months. The British Medical Journal states that on the first evening of the examination all the candidates, 24 in number. passed, when all the college officials were presented with white kid gloves the follow ing morning by Mr. Joubert de la F or t e , th e sen i or candi date ; and adds that in these day, of transition an old custom, thus gracefully applied, is worthy of 'Lott*, as showing the kind and gentlemanly spirit which pervades the minds of the rising generation of surgeons.
