The indications of time and other neoessery directions are expressed by very simple signs, all which occupy much less space than the ordinary musical character', so that • very few pages printed on this system will contain music of much greater length than in the old musical no tation. There is no distinction of key, all pieces being sung as if written in the same key ; the pitch being varied as required according to the direction given at the commencement of the composition. Of amuse such a system is chiefly applicable to vocal musk, singers not being necessarily conscious ci the difference of key ; and the method is available rather for the instruction of num bers than of individual solo singers. It is more than twenty years since Mr. Ocuwen began to devote his at tention to the widens originated by Miss Glover, which be Isis gradually improved, and promoted in its application ante it has now become most ex teesively used by schools and erogregationa in almost all parts of the kingdom, including Scotland. The system has even its own special advocate, in the Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter, a email journal published thrice a month with records of proceedings, and music printed in the dm miters of the system. The performance of the Maria last night afforded very satisfactory evidence of the results obtainable from this mode of popular teaching, the choruses being given with • precision and effect worthy of the beet profeesioaal choristers. The sopranos wore especially remarkable for purity of tone, certainty of execution, and excellent into , nation. The following it the reply of the Chief Secretary to the ma nocial of the county of Cork magistrate to the Lord- Lieutenant, adopted at their late meeting: "TO LORD IPERMOY, HER MAJESTY'S LIEUTENANT Or CORE. "Dublin Castle, Dec. 6. "My Lord,—l am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to acknowledge the receipt el • memorial of your lordship, the deputy lieutenants, and magistrates of the county of Cork, adopted at a meeting held on the 3rd instant. lam directed by his excellency to express to your lordship and to your brother magistrates the sincere gratification with which he had received the ainursoce that there exists roe only among your body, but generally among the fantasy and traders of your county, a spirit of loyalty to the throne, a deep attachment to the institutions of the country, and a sincere disposition to assist her Iditje4y's government in their efforts to maintain the public peace. His Excellency can well understand the un easiness which is occasioned by the threat& of out rage and distarbance that have been made by men re siiiog • foreign country, shoes wild and insane coups& have unfortunately had some effect on the spirit and feel ing of the population of your county. Though his excel lency is convinced that armed resistance to the authority of the crown in any part of Ireland could not be main tained euceessfully for a angle day, he has considered it to be his duty to take every precaution in his power against the possibility of ou4age. His excellency is fully alive to the heavy misfortune which an insurrectionary movement, even if it only lasted for a few hours would entail upon the country. To avert suck a dire calamity all the efforts of the government have been directed. With this view the consent of the legislature was obtained to the renewal of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. For the greater portion of the autumn it was not found necessary to put in force the power which that act gave to the executive, but since it has been perceived that the leaden of this atrocious conspiracy have renewed their efforts of last spring, the government have deemed lt ad visable to imprison many persons who are known to be deeply engaged in treasonable practices. His excellency is in hopes that these arrests will have the effect of stopping much of the mischief that is going on, and he is determd to continue to exercise the powers confided to him in every necessary use. A regiment of infantry has been added to the troops stationed at Cork. Alarge addition in ships, gun boats, seamen, and marines has been made to the naval force under the command of Admiral Frederick, and a further augmentation is intended. The number of the con stabulary has been increased, while the strictest orders as to the careful and active attention to duty has been issued to all persons in the service of the government. With respect to the application to enrol special constable« the government desire to call the attention of your lordaldp and the magistrates to the provision of the statute '-Xj William IV., c. 108, regulating the appointntent of such officers, which provides for their enrolment under certain contingencies only—viz., the reasonable apprehension of riot, tumult, or insurrection being depoeed to by credible persons, and, next, the opinion of the justices that the police, military, and other regular force in the country are not sufficient for present protection of person and pro perty. Your lordship will thus observe that the justices are declared the tribunal to decide won the necessity of special constables, and while the information in the Sion of the government leads his excellency to = that the military and police force already stationed in the country aro equal to protect persona and property, and prevent any disturbance, he does not feel justified in dis couraging your lordship and the magistrates of the county of Cork, who must be more intimately acquainted with the circumstances and condition of the district than the government can be, from putting into force the po were of the act of parliament referred to. His excellency is con vinced that the magistrates will carefully consider whether absolute necessity exists before they take so decided • step ; and in case of its adoption, his excellency will be ready to afford the mngistnites such cesi«,ance and advice as they may require.-1 have the honour to be, my lord, , your obedient servant, " TIEVITT and MOORE'S AUSTRALIAN LINE JJ of pact( ET SHIP.—For ADELAIDE Direct (to sail pane- Nagy on the !71h December, lam shipping day Silk December), imam clipper ship ORNAIE, A 110 years, 738 tons register, U.

The first yacht arriving is to take the whole stakes, amounting to 90,000 debt. _ . The following notice to masters of vessels has been issued and telegraphed to Europe by the owners of the yachts, in order that the progress of the race may be reported by passing vessels: . The solo singers in last night's performance (not, of course.

The perform- ances of Mr. Wilbye Cooper and Mr. Lewis Thomas in the tenor and bass wile. of the Messiah are too well known to require fresh eulogy here. The orchestra, although not large, was sufficient to balance the choral power ; but, as there were many amateurs among the instrumentalists, a little more rehearsing in their ease would have been bene ficial. Among various professional advantages, however, in the constitution of the band, was the admirable trumpet playing of Mr. Thomas Harper—so important • feature in any performance of the AfruiaA. The room was very full, a large proportion of the audience consisting of those interested in the progress of the Tonic Sol-Fa system. " J. G. BENNETT, jun., owner of Henrietta. " GEORGE A.

THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Debats of yesterday writes as follows upo the Roman question : . . _ The departure is announced of Signor Tonello for Rome. accompanied by Signor Maurizio, who assisted Signor Vegessi in his previous missions. The negotiations with which Signor Tonello is entrusted appear to be foreign to the political questions of the moment. Their sole object is said to be the settlement of certain religions questions respecting the number of bishoprics and the appointment of the bishops. People are aware, however, that the convention relating to the Pontifical debt was signed on Friday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ; so, at least, the Patric assures us, and we have no reason to doubt the accuracy of its in. formation. Here we have one matter settled which augurs well for the future. The cold of Rome has entered into an arrangement with Italy upon a financial question. indi. rectly it is true, and through the medium of France; but the arrangement exists, and Rome knew very well she was treating with Florence, although the negotiations did not proceed by the shortest road, inasmuch as they passed through Paris. It matters little in such a case whether the straight or the roundabout line be followed. The essential thing is to know the starting point and the place of arrival. Well, at one end of the line we see Rome, at the other Florence ; Paris is merely an intermediate point. Thus has the force of things and of situations been more powerful than the resistance of men. This first result obtained justifies the hope of others. The situation, moreover, has for some time been much changed. Italy before the war might have been Ica inclined for compro mises ; now she possesses Venice ; stronger and Qom pletely reassured with regard to Austria, concessions must cost her less. At Rowe, on the other hand, the departure of our troops appears to have been doubted to the last moment ; it seemed to be believed that the September convention would not be executed, and people especially were far from expecting to see Austria abandon Venetia. These two illusions encouraged resistance ; but it is very difficult to admit that the ruin of these illusions has not modified the dispositions of the Roman court, or that theyaze now, in the presence of an irrevocable reality what they were a few months back. True, the parting address of the Pope to the French officers at their farewell interview does not yet indicate very conciliatory disposi tions ; but it must be remembered that in this solemn moment the Pope could scarcely use any other language. We must take into account the emotion natural at such a critical moment, and avoid seeing in it the assured sign of an unalterable resolution. Politics are not, as we all know, a matter of pure sentiment, and we see that in the end it is cool reason which plays the final part in the conduct of human affairs. The Dublin, Ercning Post of last night announces the death of Dr. Cantwell, Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath, yesterday morning, at his residence in Mulling's. Yesterday Messrs. R. Rawlinson, J. H. T. Har rison, and J. T. Way, the commissioners appointed by government to inquire into the pollution of rivers, resumed their inquiry into the state of the river Lea and its tri butaries, at the °Hires of the commission, Victoria-street, Westminster. The East London Waterworks Company, the New River Company, and the Lea Trust were repre sented 111 on the previous day. SUICIDE OF R. HENRY SAMPSON, OF LEEDS. Yesterd.ty (Tuesday) morning, about breakfast time, Mr. Henry Sampson, a gentleman well known and highly re spected for his personal and substantial support of the Strangers' Benevolent Society and many of the philan thropic institutions in the town, and especially throe connected with the Wesleyan denomination, committed suicide by cutting his throat, at his residence, in Queen square. Deceased has been in a weak state of health for some time, and has for the last few days been suf fering from a boil on his chin. His spirits have been very much depressed, and for several weeks he has been in a state of religious melancholy, which was at times so intense that he considered himself to be lost. Mr. Beardshaw, who was not only his profes sional adviser, but his personal friend, has endeavoured, along with his family and other friends, to cheer him in his despondency, but, as the fatal event of yesterday shows, without effect. Mr. Beardshaw saw his patient on Monday night, and promised to call for him to accompany him on a drive. The unfortunate gentleman partook of breakfast about nine o'clock, apparently in his usual spirits, and then retired to his toom, where a gurgling sound was immediately heard by one of the servants. Alarmed at the strange noise, the inmates r an up stairs, when Mrs. Sampson was horrified to find her husband standing in the room, with blood Bowing from a fearful gash in Ills throat, which he had inflictel with a razor. Mr. Beardshaw was speedily in attendance, but unhappily his services were of no avail, for the unfortunate gentle man expired in a very short time. MB death will be deeply regretted throughout the town. —Leeds Mercury. Fiats AND Loma OF Lutz. —Yesterday morning at an early hour a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs.

A serious accident occurred on Monday afternoon at one of the pits belonging to Meier,. Thomas Wright and Son, Hanging Bank Collieries, Little Holton, about four miles from Melton. There are about 150 men employed in this mine, and the men went down to their work as usual at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, and continued at their employment until a little after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The mine is between :An and :l's/ yards in depth, and has an upper shaft and a downcast shaft, the former being on the northerly side of the workings. From the bottom of this shaft there is what is known as the " down brow "—a long road extending some 1660 yards along the workings, at • decline of about one yard in seven. At a distance of nearly VA yards from the top of this brow (the bottom of the north shaft) there is • waggon road which branches to the right, and continues on to a large open bay, which has an area of about thirty yards ; and at this spot an explosion occurred. It is stated that a few minutes before the explosion took place the underlooker, Thomas Grundy, visited the whole of the workings, tested the various places, and found them perfectly free from gas. Shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon the workmen prepared to leave the mine, and many had been sent up the shaft, whilst others were mak ing the best of their way up the brow. A fearful explo sion was beard. Those who were on the ground outside the pit were alarnied by a loud report and by seeing an im mense volume of smoke issuing from the mouth of the north shaft, and large stones and pieces of coal thrown up a great height into the air. As soon as was consistent with safety several parties descended the pit, and found num bers of wounded men strewn about in all directions. The explosion hail occurred in the open lay previously de scribed, where there were at the time about seven men and boys working. They had a few minutes previously been warned by the usual cracking noise, which invariably precludes such events, that • fall of earth was about to take place, and they immediately proceeded to prepare fur it by removing their tools. While they were busily engaged doing this, an extensive layer of the roof fell , and this was followed by an explosion. Some of the men saw the flame and instantly threw themselves on the ground with their faces downwards, but all the seven working in the bay were shockingly scorched. The gas and sulphur rubbed in a stream up the pit brow, cany ing some of the men along with it by its violence, whilst others fell on the ground and lay as dead from its effects. As the gas rushed up the shaft a number of men who were just waiting their turn to ascend were more or less burned. Another set of men who were engaged further in the workings narrowly escaped suffocation, and bad to scramble over the injured bodies of their fellow-work men unable to assist them. One youth was blown a distance of fifteen yards by the force of the explosion. Many of the persons were burned all over their bodies, others have sustained injuries chiefly on the face, chest, and arms, and in some cases the back. The following are the names of the 24 most seriously injured :—Levi Rush ton, John Glynn, Thomas Grundy, underlooker, and three sons, Henry, Thomas, and James (the latter was married only a fortnight ago) ; Emmanuel Hodgkiai, Peter, John, and William Swindells ; Joseph Smith, John Langshaw, James Topping, John Clegg , James Southern, Samuel eoucill, Thomas.

ALARMING ACCIDENT TO SIR FRANCIS COLD SIHD, BART., M.P.—We regret to hare to recoid an alarm ing accident which happened on the 26th ult. to Sir Francis Goldsmid, Bart., M.P., while hunting near Lutterworth, Leicestershire. Sir Francis has been oc cupying Hewnham Paddox, the rest of the Earl of Denbigh, and on the day named was out with one of the local packs. He had ery good horse undir him, but the animal stumbled and ftll when in the act of taking a small " grip" between two fields. It went down on its fore knees and milt d over. Sir Francis slid off ; but while still on the ground received a blow from the bead from one of the fore-hoofs of the struggling animal. The blow, if given direct, would probably have been fatal; but it reached Sir Francis in an oblique dirmtion, smashing in his bat and inflicting a serious scalp wound. His right eye WAS also injured from his spectacles, which were crushed and broken in the fall, but no permanent injury, we are pleared to add, will i result to the sight. Sir Francis was immediately taken to a farm house near at hand, where Imedical assistance w: s forthcoming. He was afterwards removed home in his carriage and placed under the care of a local physician. He is now, we are glad to say, fast approaching convales cenos.—Brighton Guardian.

[C INTELLIGENCE. (11ZUTZW8 TILBORLIEB.) DEPARTURE OF THE LAST OF THE FRENCH TROOPS FROM ROME. BOMB, Deo. 11. The last detachment of French troops left Rome this morning. A regiment of Pontifical Zonaves arrived here yesterday. Signor Totten° has arrived, and it is believed that he will be received by the Pope to-morrow. CIVITA VECCHIA, Dec. 11. A United States frigate has arrived off this port. (Via Marseilles.) ROME, Dec. 9. At the farewell interview granted by the Pope to-day to the officers of the French troops about to quit Rome, General Montebello, Mia.Frenah com mander, made a speech, in which, after expressing regret that the moment had arrived for taking leave of his Holiness, he said :—" The Emperor withdraws his troops from Rome, but not his sup port. His Majesty leaves in the Eternal City the protection of France. May time appease passions and tranquillize sorrows, impart to all minds a spirit of ' conciliation, and assure to the Holy See inde pendence and security, in order that it may maintain its spiritual influence over the whole world--such are the earnest wishes which I lay at your Holiness's feet, soliciting your bone ; diction." The Pope made an extemporary reply, the tenour of which has not yet transpired. On the occasion of the Pope's expected visit to Oivita V4vv.his., to inspect the foreign vessels in that port, he will be escorted by the Pontifical Zouaves. The government printing-offices are printing large numbers of documents. It is stated that the Pope is about to promulgate reforms, acoompanied by a declaration of the reasons for which those reforms were deferred while the French troops remained in Rome. ITALY. FLORENCE, DEC. 11, EVENING: A royal decree has been issued approving the convention signed by the Italian Minister of Public Works with the Roman Railway Company. The Opittione of to-day states that the conven tion for the apportionment of the Pontifical debt, arrived here to-day from Paris for ratification. Letters received here from Rome aasert that at a consistery to be held on the 15th inst. the Pope will deliver a highly important allocution. PRUSSIA AND THE POPE. BERLIN, Dm. 11. The semi-official North Gorman Gazette of this evening says :—" The communications contained in the Berlin correspondence of the Patric relative to the position taken up by Prussia in the Roman: question are only so far true that the Prussian government, as already announced, has expressed its earnest wishes to the Italian cabinet that an understanding may be arrived at with the court of Rome. The expectations, which the Put fie further gave publicity to, are erroneous, and the state ment in the Paris correspondence of the Cologne Gazette, that the Patric had received its intelligence from the Prussian Embassy in Paris, is also without foundation." PRUSSIA AND SAXONY. DRESDEN, Dec. 11. The official Dresden Journal, of to-day, publishes an article, exhorting the Saxon press to cultivate a good feeling towards Prussia, as a cordial under standing between the two countries is the earnest wish of the Saxon government. HESSE DARMSTADT. DARMSTADT, Dec. 11. The elections in Upper Hesse, for deputies to the North German Parliament, are fixed to take place in the middle of January. THE HUNGARIAN DIET. PESTEI, Dec. 11. The committee's draught of an address in reply to the royal rescript was brought forward in to day's sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet. It draws attention to the dangers arising from disunion at home and complications abroad, and urges the immediate, complete, and uncon ditional re-establishment of the constitutional state of things, as further delay in adopting that course would render an agreement between Austria and Hungary impossible. It also promises to consider the question of cAnmon affairs as soon as the com ' mittee of li7 shall have brought forward their re port and the Diet shall have been empowered to adopt resolutions having the force of law. The draught concludes by praying that an amnesty be accorded to all persons under sentence for political offences. THE EMPEROR M.tXIMILIAN PARIS, DEC. 11. The Pattie of this evening states that as soon as the Emperor Maximilian received notice of the Empress's illness he at once formed the resolution of proceeding to Miramar. "He subsequently, how ever, altered his intention in consequence of the representations of the leaders of the conservative party, and determined to return to the city of Mexico, and there formally abdicate. On the 13th November the Emperor had not yet arrived in the Mexican capital, but it is not known whether any further change has taken place in his Majesty's resolutions." _ _ The France announces that letters have been re ceived in Paris from the Emperor Maximilian, dated Orizaba, November 17, but adds that they refer principally to certain arrangements which his Majesty desires should be made in the residence of theEmpressCharlotte's at Miramar, and to the steps to be taken for that purpose. SPAIN. MADRID, DEc. 11. The Queen and King Consort have arrived at Ciudad Real, where addresses were presented to them by deputations from more than 500 com munes of the province. Their Majesties left Ciu dad Real this morning for Badajoz. THE MALTA AND S ALEXANDRLi TELE PH. vALrrrA, Dicc. IL The Malta and Alexandria telegraph line is again LONDON PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. Last night the interesting ceremony of present- ! ing medals to such members of this society as had dis tinguished themselves by superior excellence in the art of photography took place at King's College, the presenta tion being made by Sir F. Poi. Loot, lately Chef Baron of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, the president of the society. Medals were then awarded to Lord Hassanlen (one to his lordship, and one on account of the excellence in Oa tograph of the late Lady Hawarden); to Mr. Fenton, the founder of the society ; Mr. Bedford (landscape pho tography), Mr. Robinson, Mr. Thompson, Col. Wortley, Mr. Claudet, Mr. T. R. Williams, Mr. Jubert, Major Greeley, Mr. Toovey, Dr. Maddox, Mr. Buxton,] Mr. M`Farlane, Mr. England, and Mr. Mudd. The medals presented were extremely beautiful, bearing on the obverse a portrait of the late Prince Consort, the patron of the institution, and on the reverse the figure of Ph.-eteon driving the horses of the sun, designed by Bartolozzi. After the presentation of the medals Mr. Dallmeyer delivered an interesting discourse upon a new portrait lens, the discussion upon which was adjourned. A vote of thanks to the president concluded the pro ceedings. ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE.

Z 1,572 OPENING THE SESSION AT GVY'S.—A visitor 011 the occasion of the opening of the present session at Guy's publishes in the Arwity an account of the scenes which took place. A window was broken, the hats of strangers swabbed, and lecturer and teachers pelted with sugar-beans and other similar missiles. For more than a quarter of an hour after the lecturer entered, hissing, whistling, shouting, clapping of hands, and stamping of feet were ceaseleas: the lecturer and doctors ' moving not a muscle of their faces, nor showing the slightest sign of uneasiness. At length a common hissing ensued, and this was the signal for allowing the lecture to be heard. All then went quietly until that gentleman ar rived at some observations about the " benefits of early when the crowing of a cock, shrill and sharp, was I r :en , from the gallery. exciting general applause and roars of laughter for a considerable time. Quiet restored, the orator went on to warn them against that coarse and rude deportment which, in former days, often disgraced the cha racter of medical men, when suddenly " the deep hollow bark of a bulldog sounded down from the gallery. This was immediately responded to from the opposite side by the high-pitched sound of a yelping lap-dog, where upon a general exhibition followed of a fight between the various species of the canine race, accompanied by all the barking, yelping, howling, and growling of whic h this portion of the animal creation is capable." When the lecturer bad closed his address there was a general show of the various movements of which the human muscles are capable. Above all, " one student excelled in beating with his cane the desk before which he sat, thus producing such a frightful noise that many of us whose nerves were not prepared for such an anatomical %eratian upon the tympanum walked away, holding our eis in our ears, and thanking heaven that we had arriv safe outside the building.' rd E r,"- D fa l at r attrar ga = 4 anr:lng= o9l Xl sawn-stmt. 11EVITT and MOORE'S AUSTRALIAN LINE JILP of PACKET SHIP.—Fur HOBART TOWN Dinek (has • great part of her cargo engaged, end wm have quick despatch', Ilks Bcolc- Du t t cli OEI X, Al, righter 291 tons, m?
