A grand orchestral concert was given here last night by Mr. Arthur Chappell (Director of the Monday Popular Concerts), for the purpose, as announced, of " affording his subscribers and the public an opportunity of hearing Herr Joachim perform some of the works of the great masters with orchestra, previous to his departure from England on the 2nd of April." That the concert was one of intrinsic as well as special interest, will be seen from the following programme d the performance : PART I. - Symphony, In C major Barcarntle, "U ma maltrcaae" (Calla Rookh), Mr. Cummings - FeEden David. Song, (Maud) aI. bete (Faust , Miss Edith Wynne Cimmod. Dramatic Concerto, for Violin, Herr Joachim PART 11. Triple Concerto, for Planoofo;ie, Vie;lin. and Vio loncello, Mr. Charles Halle. Herr Joachim, and Kignnt Plattl Duet, "How swert the moonlight sleeps" ;Kenil worth , Miss Edith Wynne and Mr. Cummings Sullivan. Overture tOberon - - - - - - The orchestra was that of the Crystal Pekoe, as enlarged for the excellent Saturday Concerts of that establishment, conducted by the permanent conductor of those per Mr. Maims. By such an orchestra, under such direction, Schubert's great symphony was heard in all its exquisite beauty and refined poetical imaginative. ness. Thie work is a prolonged dream of the most luxu riant fancy ; occasionally diffuse, and offering frequent instances of reiteration—but the did usenees of genius and the repetitions of charming and striking passages are never wearisome or unwelcome. To such a musical rhapso dist u Schubert, oisuch a talker as Coleridge, however dis cursive, all intelligent and cultivated hearers would gladly allow free and unfettered scope ; yet this very symphony of Schubert has only during recent years made its way in England, and chiefly through the performances at the con eerie of the Crystal Palace, the Musical Society, and the New Philharmonic. Of Herr Joachim's violin playing we have so frequently spoken in terms of the highest eulogy that it is difficult to find fresh phrases by which to characterise hie combination of all that is great in executive art with those higher faculties of intelligence and perception which are requisite to give life, passion, and poetry to the music of the great masters. MR. YOUNG'S POEMS AND PENSION. We (Daily News) have received the following appeal from Lord Derby's Irish poet. We print the letter, and leave the author to the judgment of the public. TO THE EDITOR DV THIS DAILY NEWPI. SIR,—As you have through misrepresentation been led to animadvert severely on my conduct, I trust in that spirit of fair play which is said to be the peculiar cha racteristic of every Englishman you will permit me to say a few words in self defence. And here I have in the first place to state distinctly, that the selections from my poetry quoted by Mr. O'Reilly, M.Y., in the House of Commons, were written by rue in early life, sonic of them nearly 40 years ago, at a time when party politics in Ire land ran extremely high. and as they were among my first efforts at song-writing, they are not to be taken as a fair sample of my subsequent poetry. Indeed, it is very doubtful if the first productions of any one of our most eminent authors would pass unscathed through the ordeal of adverse criticism. But to proceed : the verses quoted by Mr. O'Reilly, I freely adroit I published in the year 1840, in a volume of Constitutional Songs, Original and Selected ; but since that time I have confined my self to the writing of historical, miscellaneous, and agricultural poems and soup, so that for more than a quarter of • century I have not written so much as a single verse calculated to hurt the feelings of my Romani catholic fellow countrymen, all of whom who are ac quainted with me I have the gratification of knowing hold me in great respect, so much so, that several of them (including the Right Rev. Dr. Kelly, their bishop, and the four Roman catholic curates of Derry) signed the memorial to the Premier praying his lordship to kindly grant me a literary pension. Now, sir, you must know that if I was the violent party writer I sin represented to be this would not have been the case. The larger edition of my works (252 pages, 12mo ) , pub lished in 1863, which comprises historical, miscellaneous, and agricultural poems and songs, contains but few pieces that can be said to be of a party complexion. In the spirit of fair pla i i , t4is is the volume by which my writings should be , and not by one of my early works, publiah 27 years ago, and long sines out of print. With regard to my position in life, I have been for upwards of 33 years in connection with the newspaper press of Derry, holding the multifarious situation of col lecting clerk, reporter, and paragraphiat . True it is that I was • !mike in early life, hut I educated myself while in that capacity, so as to be able to fill the position I have so long occupied. To say, however, that I wee at any time of my life a waiter, and attended Orange lodges in that capa city, is about as true as to state that I had once been a ltomisb cardinal. As I have been grossly calumniated, and as you have under an erroneous impression written strongly against me in the Daily News of the With inst., I hops in the spirit of fair play you will publish the foregoing brief communication.—l am, Re.

Several manufacturers and members of the Chamber of Commerce have appointed a committee to consider what guarantees the people of Luxem. burg would think it necessary to demand, in case the rumoured intention to cede the duchy to France should be realised. This committee will take no action in the matter, unless Luxemburg's loss of independence should become an accom plished fact. In the meantime, however, the Grand Ducal Government is to receive a notifi cation of the objects for which the committee has been formed. PRUSSIA AND THE EASTEILN QUESTION.

After this ceremony King George will leave for Copenhagen. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN SPAIN. MADRID, MARCH 28. A railway accident has occurred near this city, through a train from Toledo having run off the line. Two persons were killed, and 27 wounded. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MARCH 28.

Fancy a Grecian or Roman warrior taking his son, pro. moted nudes Ruch circumstances, into the presence of the god Neptune ! such a warrior and his son would have been afraid oof being commanded to lea ve t he temple of the god, and of having the trident thrust into their persons as they were retreating from his presence. My little boy said, "Mamma, why is Lieutenant Yorke pro moted and papa is not ; is he braver than papa?" " No, my dear boy," said his mother indignantly, " but Lieutenant Yorke's father is a lord, and your papa's father was only a gentleman."---I am, Ito., AN OLD LIEUTENANT WITH SCARS March X AND MEDALS. A meeting of the several committees of the pro posed Leeds ?rational Committee of Works of Art was held at the Town-ball on Monday, when the relied of the ex ecutive committee was read and agreed to. The com mittee have received the most gratifying encouragement. The general owned now consists of the president (Lord Fitewilliam) and 76 vice-presidents, besides the subscribers to the guarantee fund of 110,000/., who are 18$ in number. Mr../. B. Waring, who held very responsible positions in the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 18.57 and in the Great Exhibition of 1862, has been appointed as gene ral manager and chief commissioner of the Exhibition, and he has been constantly occupied with the works of the Exhibition daring the last three months. Upon Mr. Waring's recommendation, confirmed by the opinions of others who were acquainted with them, Mr. Redford and Mr. Chaffers have been associated with that gentle man as principal assistants. These three and a clerk form at present the paid staff of the Exhibition, and their work is carried on in the London offices of the Exhibition, at 26, Suffolk-street, Pall-malL A meeting of mining engineers was held in Nor m►nton on Wednesday for the purpose of consulting as to steps to be taken in reopening the Oaks Pit, and recover ing the bodies of those killed by the successive explosions in December last. It was decided that the safest and most effectual plan would be to sink a new shaft. The work will occupy about two years. William Alexander, who was charged with causing the death of the two females at Camberwell by the fall of a cornice from a house, and admitted to bail until after the inquest, appeared before Mr. Paget, at the Lambeth Police-court, yesterday, in discharge of the same, and it being reported to the magistrate that the jury had returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," he was ordered to be discharged. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (non ova owi coi PARIS. THCIDIDAY EVZNISO. On this mid-Lent Thursday, when the Mon eßissetwee, decked out in ball dresses, are prome nading the Boulevards in carriages, there will be rejoicings in Clichy. Imprisonment for debt is abolished—finally abolished, in pursuance of the Emperor's promise, for I can never believe that the Senate will use their newly-acquired privilege of a suspensive veto to stop this bill. The govern ment made such a point of carrying the measure that several of the obstructives in the Corps Legis latif have been wavering for the last two or three days, fearing to make themselves too disagreeable. M. Baroche, the Minister of Justice, made an elaborate speech yesterday in answer to the hos tile report of the committee. To-day, after a speech by M. Segris against the abolition, M. Rouher came to the rescue, and made converts enough to break down the majority which, but a short time back, thought itself strong enough to reject the bill. On the question being put whether the bill should be referred back to the committee, the votes were—For, 114 ; Against, 122. Article 1 (whir t, in fact...contains the whole pgritasplit Wyse then eirriedby 136 against I;have already inforMed yo; that there would be ho official inauguration of the Universal Exhibi tion on April 1. Nobody who has seen the un ready state of the place could have supposed the French government would wish the premature opening on the day promised, to take place with any pomp and ceremony. Thia very morning tele grams were sent to the Prince of Orange and the Count of Flanders, who were expected in Paris this evening, requesting them to postpone their visit. • The government has gained in the department of the Moselle one of those damaging electoral victories which presage many defeats, and mark the rising tide of opposition, the results of which excite so much anxiety about 1869. The official state of the poll has been an unusually long time in coming to hand, and now the 3fmdteur du Soir is obliged to admit that there was a mistake ill the figures originally mentioned as approximate. The Irevised return is as follows : M. Li4mard (government minditLete) 17,090 N. Gargan (opposition) 9,628 Id d'Hunolstein (opposition) The majority, therefore, over the two opposition candidates, whose supporters would have fused in case of a second election, was only the measuring cast one of 348. This symptom of the ■i e gns of the times has occurred in a circumscription where —ever since the comp d'etat—the government nomi nes has always walked over the course. The rumour comes simultaneously from several quarters that tho .hankering of France after Luxemburg is likely to lead to an alliance be tween Austria and Prussia. On this subject the Con/Tier du Bas Rhin, an influential journal of Strasbourg, says that as last summer the principle of compensation for the aggrandisement of any great German power enunciated in the Emperor's famous Auxerre speech contributed materially to drive the potty states to take refuge under the Prussian flag, so now the mere whisper that Francs has bought Luxemburg of Holland has produced an excitement among all Austrian-Ger mans which may have the effect of changing an Austin-French alliance into an Anstro-Prussian one. The fact is,on the teatimony of this French border I paper, that all Germany looks upon Luxemburg as an integral part of Fatherland, andthe vanquished of Sadowa is urged by his own subjects to save Luxemburg from Napoleon's hands, even if it should be necessary to solicit the aid and patronage of M. de Bismarck. The Bourse was rather weak at the close, but without any great change. Bente fell 10c. for cash and 2}c. for account, closing at 69fr. 10e. and 69fr. 15c. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning the ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, RAVLIISTOCK-HILL. —On Wednesday evening last Mr. George S. Meaaom de livered an interesting lecture in the dining-ball of this institution to a numerous and fashionable auditory, entitled Cologne, up the Rhine to 31.iyence and Heidel berg, illustrated by 27 dissolving views shown by the lime light. Nothing could have been better than the •10•11, or more effective than the lecture. The 400 orphan children filled up the spaces in the gallery and around, 3u: , 1 their singing at the conclusion much pleased the I audience. The chair was taken by Mr. Charles Tyler, who, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, stated that the proceeds would go in aid of the completion of the frame of the great ceiling picture lately presented to the institution by Mr. Hervieu, the artist. That gentleman was present, and received quite an ovation. It is expected that other lectures for the same object will follow. The picture can be seen any day by ladies or gentlemen upon presenting their cards to the matron at the institution. THE TIN TRA DE. —Owing to the low prices which have prevailed for tin during the last two years many mines have had to be abandoned which formerly paid divi dends, and thousands of minors have been thrown out of employ. Within the last fortuight,however, a favourable change has taken place in the tin market, brought about chiefly by the decrease in the sales of b.inca, and the result has been a general advance in quotations by the smelters. Thia will materially benefit adventurers in the tin mines of Cornwall and Wales, and there are already signs of im provement in some localities, steps having been taken to start mines which for a long time past have been at a stand still, in oonsequeeos of the unprofitable prices obtained for tin. It Is estimated that the consumption of foreign tin during 1866 was 4,500 tons, against :1,000 tons in 1865, 2.000 tons the previous two years, and VA tons in 1861. This large increase is owing to the expansion of the tin plate trade, no less than two million boxes of plates hav ing been turned out during the year 1806, which alone would consume upwards of 7,1100 tons of tin in their ma nufacture. Last year the value of the tin plates exported reached 1,900,0001., out of which the United States alone took 1,400,000/. worth. The pretty little English weed Pimpernel (rtna gallW arreitaia) introduced into these colonies some year, since, and now spreading everywhere in gardens and cul tivated fields, was formerly considered to possess valuable medicinal properties, and recent experiments have tended to prove that its utility is eoesiderable.—Nere South Woks paper.

It is just now rather amusing to inspect the novelties of the season ; for whilst, on one side, we And all the pretty, light, and fresh-looking materials ready for the first spring sunshine, on the other, we have still the more luxurious and ric h textures, which we can by no means relinquish at present. For those economically inclined, it is that intermediate season when last summer or evening dresses may be remodelled, sad worn fora shalt time as fourreanx. There are dresses of a new style which at first sight ap pear rather luxurious, but in reality may be made at com paratively small coat. They are of broche material, over skirts of satin or taffetas. It is true the embroidery is often in gold, and is expensive, but it can be used as baaquines, or tunics, or quilles. For instance, on a black satin dress, a little out of the present fashion, having pro cured a few yards of this beautiful silk, embroidered either in gold or coloured flowers, the seams of the skirt—which we will presume has been cut entirely on the bias, and without a plait at the front, should be covered with this material, and bands of the same placed on the body and sleeves. Should the dress be of coloured satin or gros-groin, the brocade should be a black satin ground, with coloured, gold, or silver flowers. We must mention that the bands shauld be cut quite wide at the bottom, gradually decreasing towards the waist. In stead of brood'u silk or satin, some ladies might prefer the bands made of black velvet, scolloped on each side, and edged round with gold cord or lace. There is some idea that open sleeves will be worn, but of this, perhaps, it is rather too early to speak definitely. Of the fact that dresses are no longer made quite without plait we may speak positively ; they have either one very large plait at the back, or are frequently gathered, or else a plait in the middle of the back, and one smaller at each side, the front being always plain. Gold and silver tulle, gauze, or tarla tan., are generally preferred for ball-dresses, especially by young ladies, but they even have not nnfrequently adopted the poult-de-soie antique as • tunic, or the whole dress made simply with • long train—we presume, chiefly on account of its greater durability, for there can be no doubt thinner material is more elegant and suitable. Lyons broches silks or satins will be fashionable this spring, we believe. Plain silks are trimmed in a simple fashion. One very pretty style is that of very narrow biaiaes of satin, matching the colour of the dress, placed up the front breadths. It is better always to have some trimming on the front of the skirt, even if it be only pockets. Now the dimenoians of crinoline are so very much dimin ished, great attention and skill is needed to line the hem of the skirt so that it sets well. Flowers are still worn as ornaments—ear-rings, brooches, Ac.—and some wedding-dresses have had the buttons on the body formed of orange flowers. Necklaces are made of flowers put on velvet, or of small pieces of coral, or small beads worked in • pattern, or large beads hi a single row. Jet necklaces are now worn with high bodies ; they are made of • row of beads fastened on to velvet of a light shade—blue, red, /sc.—along the edge of which is sown • row of jet pendants. This style of necklace, called " collier de chien"- - dog-collar—is nude just to fit close round the throat, and with long ends behind. Similar colliers, with amber or steel, are also worn with high dresses, ur with white canesous. Lingerie is more and more tasteful and charming ; white vestes or bodies with or without the coloured veste over, or made in fine orgsndi with insertions of Cluny or Valenciennes lace, or of quite plain muslin ; either a low body matching the dress is worn with these, or one of trimmed n-inzook. With white bodies • minter. Femme of taffetas is frequently worn ; it is made only the height of an ordinary low body, with epaulettes and square bitsques. Very pretty Turkish vestes, embroidered with gold, are suitable to wear over • white caner.ou. being of red cachesnire embroidered with gold and silk, or of silver cloth lined with rose-coloured silk. The cloth or brocart of gold or silver will be used for evening or at home vestes; any dress, even satin or velvet, may be worn with these. The spring bonnets seem to require very little material, las they are smaller than those of lest year. They are, ' however, much trimmed with flowers, ribbons, bead fringes, &c. The jardiniere ribbon is very much used, and I forms a very elegant trimming ; it is of wFite maize straw or black taffetas, the edges broches, with wreaths of small flowers, such as poppies, corn-flowers, daisies, and bachelor's buttons, and small green leaves. This is made either in wide or narrow ribbon—the narrow is much the • ' most used—indeed, many of our principal modistes are I using narrow ribbons even for strings. We need scarcely remind our readers that the flowers used for trimmings should invariabl correspond with those on the r ibbon employed. The c bapsau i.leme is much in favour ; it is composed of a front which is made extremely narrow at the cheeks, the front resembling a bandeau lsoutfant. Her Majesty the Queen has subscribed 100 guineas to the Curates' Augmentation Fund. [TWOPENCE *parting Intelligent. LEWES SPRING MEETlNG—TittlfteneY. The ecomilent bill of fare provided by Mr. venall attracted a Loge company to Lewes Downs, and despite that the meeting 1 , clashed with the annual gathering in celebration of the sister . spot at Cheltenham , the attendance was quits up to the , average. The " strike "on the taut of the engine -driven and enders on the Brighton and South Coast Railway having been compromised and work resumed on the last day of the Ypaom meeting, the authorities decided to run • "special" to Lewes. and when their intention became known a large body of turfing availed themselves of the facilities thus afforded. The weather was beautiful In the extreme, and the brisk breeze which ft may be presumed invariably sweeps the undulating downs was softly tempered by the sun's rays. ladeed, in the matter of the • / weather, Mr. Venal' and the Olden of the Lewes meeting had every reason to be thankful, especially when the bitter expe rience I . of last week at Warwick, where a very large body of turf seen were literally snowed out, Is remembered. le addition to , this gratifying accessory to the day's sport, the •' going" was ea near perfect as it could possibly be. Owing to one important fixture climbing with this, the first day of the Lewes spring en union there were fewer " gentlema n " present than would otherwise have " assisted" at the gathering; In fact, the only 1 aristocratic sportsmen of note whom we observed la e ring were oar of the stewards, Sir Lydatou Newman, Lord Westmorland, and Mr. Thelluagon.

Before the proceedings commenced the Chairman strongly condemned any expression of opinion on the part of those present in the room. If they could not restrain their feelings it was hardly to be expected that the inople who were outside would behave more decorously. Mr. Dunning again appeared in the witness.box, and the reading of such portion of the proceedings before the Jamaica Commission as he had reported was read and concluded. _ _ _ . Mr. Ilarnett, another shorthand writer, proceeded with later portions of the evidence given by Mr. Eyre before the commi■ion, the reading of which occupied the court till 1 o'clock. Mr. Charles W.

FATAL ACCIDRNT.—A fatal accident occurred on Tuesday evening at the platform of the Woolwich Arsenal station to a private of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, named William Smith.
