MUSIC. BAC H' S P A SSIONIS-Il 1.7 SUL The performance of this peat work at St. Martin's Ball, int evening, will probably ISM en event in our musical sneak, as beiag the lint secomidul attempt to bring to the knowledge of the English fabric the chef towers of the illostricas 0.11110.11 meets, the content/nary of Handel, end his and in sub/laity of genius. The alangt was once mode before, sad by the mune body who hen wow aide it agala—the Bach Society. It was thin wade paw tartly, bet has now been repotted wader maw weekli es. eireantstanoes, and with highly ratifying neeka. For several years the society have been diligently occupied la the study and practice of the works of Johann Sebastian leek and especially of the gee ent of them —that which they have now rodeced ; sad the very effective perferrasara of last night has been brought about through the energetic done of their president, Profaner Sandal' Bennett, under whose direction h took pleat. That the English public en now prepared tar the acquaintance of the great German ensure has been shown by the remarkable interest which the aneouncement of this priori:nano@ ached. Places were eagerly sought , every one was speedily disposed of, and the Hall wee crowded to the doors with one of the most musical essesablegis ever brought together in London. The Trines Consort early signified hie intention to banner the performance with Inv prearnos, sad did so accordingly, sinampanied by the Berl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Calv ary, the Doom of Sutherland, Lady Blantyre, and other wine mune distingaished for their lore of mimic. Werra sressd as as every side the familiar fame of musicians and amateurs who never fail to be attracted by every thing great end beautiful in the set they love. The performance was on s sosle worthy of the ramie and of the condos. The chores must have numbered at best throe hundred voices, seed the isairsesstsl orchestra (which Isetried sore Stour very best prioresses) wee of corresponding strength. The solo singers were Madame Weise,Mes, Street, Mir Dolby, Mr. Beare, /dr. Winn, sad Mr. W. The coadtector (u bee bees rid) wee Protestor Drag& OPENING OF ST. JAMES'S HALL. The noble Music-hall which is to be opened to seamy evening for the first tins, is to be inaugurated with a coacert in aid of the funds of the Middlesex lloapital. Probably few persons are aware of the necemity which has I urged the committee of that importeat charity to retort to this exceptional mode of recruiting duir pecuniary resources. The Middlesex Hospital was instituted in 1745, and enlarged is 1848, to meet the pressing wants of the sick poor. Situ ated in one of the poorest districts of the metropolis, those who soak relief are the most deserving objeets of charity, and their numbs is oxastantly increasing. The usual expendi ture 'seeds 11,0001., whilst the incomes is now under 7,0001. In consequence of the gradual migrants of the richer inha bitants of the neighbourhood to new parts of the town, the somber of anneal subscriber■ has lamentably diminished of late years. To meet this serious deficiency the govern:en, within the list three years, have sold out large portions of the capital stock, and no longer ego this the 28th of May of past year, they were obliged to enact the sale of a further sum of 4,8061. The hospital contalaa 310 beds for S pat , but, unless the funds ma be permanently increased, a third part of this old institution must be that up. The ouster wards, one of the distinguishing foatmes of the hospital, and containing 33 beds, are always full. It is hoped that the smart of to-morrow will not only bring an immediate and tempoetry accesion to the funds of the hospital, but that the sesealan of the kind-hearted, once drawn to the claims of t .see sad bessfkient Marianne, the surebee of its per manent subscribers easy be considerably biereesed.

The bill wee brought down from the Lora:, and on the metes of Mr. WALPOLI reed a Bret time. VALUATION OF LANDS (SCOTLAND) BILL. lb. DUNLOP, in wing the second reeding of the Tab led...set Las& (Soodead) Act Ammodmsot BSI, explained that the object of the 111••11/11 woo to establish one glossal and uniform vabritkas for Sootlead, alder which all the loud rates as well or rib& taus should he siesseed. As the law now stood many /ands, each as deer forests, shoot ing sad woodiaods, and copes, woes exempt from valastioa, unites they wen notimally let or yielding prods, and being a) exempt they could net be emosseed, dolor to public times or local rates, sad one sleet et this bill would be to gat rid of this unjust ezeutpdon. Large tracts of country in the highlands now need, not foe purposes of pridt, but of enjoyment, either in shootin g or deerstalking, were exempt from all taxation. and It was quite clear such an es enaption was both anomalous and expedient, insomuch so it encouraged the belief that the law recognised a difference between the rich and the poor. Yr. CM t: FORD seconded the motion. Lodalidi.l. 7 l:ontendedthst the bill was in principle dismatrically opposed to the act of 1854, which it was pro posed to amend and which had given general satisfaction in Scotland. The honourable and learned gentleman wee not tight in assuming that deer forests, shoot ings, woodlands, and copse, were not rateable unless actually let. By one section of the act of 1854, it was pro vided that such lande, when let, should be ratod and valued at their letting valuation; but another section, namely, the sixth, equally provided that when not let,the valuation should be taken at theorem! vales of the land. This bill,thtirefore, was wholly in that respect. Bat this bill proposed to make the of in duties liable to the local rates and taxes equally with the occupier of land. A fen duty la Scotland was similar to • ground rent is and he pat it to the house whether the s oak sanction • proposal to maks the ground rents of the Marquis of Wesembester liable for the local rates and taxes ?

(LA sitting.] EASY INDIA H0U83.-(THIS DAY) This day, at noon, the usual Quarterly Court of Pro in this company, wee held at the House in Leaden -street, for the transaction of the usual business, and to consider a motion of which Mr. Jones had riven notice, viz., " That it is our duty to return the Kingdom of Dude to the king, or some representative of his family." Mr. Rom D. MANOL7B. M.P., the chairman of the court of direetons prodded. The CLERIC having read the minutes of the previous courts, and the saw having been confirmed, end various papers laid before the proprietors, Mr. Hates said that before going on with the Wiriness of the court he thought they would not be doing their duty it they did not pan a vote of thanks to Sir J. C. Melville, the late secretary. The hoe. proprietor having paid a high eulo glum to that pntlemen, than moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. Id sLcoLo seconded the motion, and In debt so bore testimony to the zeal and ability . of the late secretory to the company, and the high honour, integrity, and tiality of that gentleman, and his ready "Minium' to= as information which might be required by the prnprishors. Mr. CIR 41,511 AT supported the motion, and OM Mae the services of Si, James Melville had been recognised by all the statesmen of his time. With such • soon for their se cretory this erisprg stood second to none in the kingdom. Mr. JoNis eta dot as he had been ace at the most trombhoono moinibro of the court—(laughter, sad • votes, "We Wog havo")—he wished to bear his toodsoity to Ile yawl& swim of Sir James Melville, end be hoped Sot ottelto of Sir James would be rendered hereditary la ditposoon of hi sou, who was on the board. The CnAlmesx said the directors felt they bad lost a marble servone when they accepted the resignation of Sir Jame, and the whole of the court were willing to offer their best thanks to Sir James for his long and valuable service., and he felt sure the reaolution would not only be car r i e d rise. • refotradtenete, but with universal approbation. The resolution was then put sad carried with reclamation. A PlOralafoll wiatied to know whether the directors knew anything of what would come on in the House of Commons on Friday night.

CHURCH Rai . Es.—On Monday, the 22nd instant, a meeting in support of Sir J. Trelawny's Bill for abolish ing church rates was held in Twickenham, A. %wring, Esq., in the chair. J. Carr Williams, Esq., in seconding the resolution that church rate*, for various reasons, ought forth with to be abolished, stated the various arguments for and against the system, and showed its disadvantage not only to dissenters but to churchmen themaslvei. Dr. Foster, in supporting the proposal to petition parliament in support of the bill, urged the necessity of more energetic opposition in the country, believing that more active opposition out of door. would greatly amidst the carrying of the bill through its remaining stages. No organised opposition has until re mealy been attempted in this pariah, and there are many items in the expenditure for past years that are clearly illegal. A encomettd comnienotenent has been made, and it is hoped that the matter of church rates may speedily be satisfactorily settled in this district. IN E&T-END OF LONDON RAILwAT.—This railway is now complete, and was yesterday examined by the government inventor. It it hoped th a t it may b e open for public freedom Monday next.

The box was full a short time since, and one of the young ladies drew her attention subsequently to the fact that it was nearly empty as the box was exceedingly light. They frequently noticed ' that money MS taken out of the box, and at last she determined upon marking some pieces. These were alas taken, and still they were unable to detect the culprit. However, on Monday night, they marked • threepenny-piece and a fourpeony piece, sa wall as sixpence-halfpenny in coppers. The money was placed in the box, and on the following day the three penny-piece was discovered to be missing. She then deter mined upon examining the servant., as she could not tell whether it was the cook or the housemaid who had taken the money. Both of them readily consented to be searched, sad upon searching a work box in the kitchen, which the prisoner said belonged to the cook, but which proved to be the prisoner own property, they discovered several marked which bad been taken out of the forfeit-box ea e former occasion.

Tozeutt Evingrao. Business in home mining stocks to-day was limited. Alfred Consols shares were in demand, owing to an improvement in the mine. South Frances shares have also been favourably influenced by . the recent decision at Bodmin in favour of this mine on a question of disputed boundary with the West Basset. Par Consols shares remain flat, and Devon Great Consols and Great South Tolgus were quoted rather lower.

Markets generally MONEY MARKE2THIS DAY. Two o'CLocs. The funds are quite unaltered in price, and the market is steady in character, although :he Paris Bourse has given way this morning. The announce ment of the Indian loan is hourly expected, but no authentic particulars have yet transpired. Console are quoted 97 for money, and 97 to for the Bth April. Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at 38e. to 41s. prem., showing a rise; Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in May next, at 99; ; ditto, May, 1869, at 1011 and 101. The foreign stock market remains quiet. Turkish Six per Cents. are well supported at 1011 to 102. Buenos Ayres Bonds are rather more offered, whilst Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese, meet with a moderate inquiry. Sales are recorded as follows:—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 78; Eqnador New Consolidated Bonds, 141 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, 461; Russian Five per Cents., 110/ to 111, ex div. ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 911; Spaaish Three per Cents., 441 ; ditto for account (March 29), 441; the Passive Bonds, 81; Turkish Six per Cents. for account ((March 29), 1014. At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Roams opened at 69fr. 60c. for the account, showing a further decline of nearly I per oent. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was 27,0001, In the discount market there was yesterday a fair demand for money, at 21 to 2j per cent, on choice bills. At the Bank the applications were upon the limited scale lately witnessed. At Hamburg the rate of discount has advanced from 2 to 21 per cent. The steamer Colombo, which is expected to arrive at Southampton at the end of the week from Alex andria, with the heavy portion of the China and Ceylon mails, has 51,6281. in specie from China, of which 45,3281. consists of silver and the rest of gold. The Mexican dollars ex the steamer La Plata were disposed of yesterday at 4s. llid. per ounce, show ing a decline of compared with the price realised for the previous remittance. The entire amount has been taken for transmission to Holland, there being little or no demand for China. It is believed that the shipments of silver for Bom bay by the steamer Ripon on the 27th inst. will be even below the limited amount taken out by the last vessel. News of the arrival of the Australian mail steamer at Sues is expected to reach London at the end of the month. The dates by this vessel will probably extend to the 11th Feb. from Sydney, and to the 13th ides from Melbourne. She is expected to bring a large amount of gold, and news of consider able shipments by sailing vessels. Owing probably to the recent large remittances of gold and silver to the Continent, coupled with the diminution in the withdrawals of silver thence, the exchanges yesterday afternoon were sensibly fi rmer. More favourable quotations were established as regards bills on Holland, Vienna, and Trieste, and short paper on Paris. Drafts on Hamburg were in de mand. The current rates are shown below—viz. : Amsterdam, three months, 11.171 to 4 ; do., shot, 11.14 to 16 ; Rottedam, three months, 11.174 to 4 ; Ant three months. 26.30 to 6 ; Hamburg, minim beam, thee. months, 13.64 to 61 ; Paris, three days eight, 26.74 to 16 ; ditto, three months, 26.36 to 40 ; Franilort-on ths-MaMs, three mouths, 1184 to 4 ; Petersburg, per rouble, duns months, 344 to 364; Vienna, ed. do., three month!, 10.32 to 34 ; Tried., do., three months, 10.33 to 36 Madrid, three months, 484 to 49 ; Cadiz, three months, 49 50 ; Ltithoro, time months, 29.70 to 6 ; Genoa, three months., 25.60 to 6 ; Naples,: throe months, 404 to i; Palermo, three months, 124 to 4 ; Mesdna, three months, 1244 to 126; Lisbon, 90 days, 614 to I ; Oporto, 90 days, 614 tit f. The stock of specie in the New York banks, al ready extraordinarily large, is still rapidly increas ing, but the exchange on London has declined to a point at which remittances of specie to this side are suspended. The America, however, comes from Boston. The United States frigate Niagara has arrived at Plymouth. This vessel is to take part in the laying down of the Atlantic telegraphic cable; an event which is expected to take place as early in June as the necessary preparations will admit of. H.M. ship Agamemnon is i already in her position in the Reyham steam basin at Devon port; and the coiling of 50 miles of the cable on her upper deck has thus far been accomplished. The Niagara will be laid in dock nearly alongside of the abandoned powder magazine at Keyham, the use of the magazine having been granted to the Atlantic Telegraph Company ever suioe last August, when the accident to the cable occurred. The new issue of capital authorised at the meeting of shareholders on the 18th ult. has been taken up to a considerable extent by the existing holders ; and we understand that sufficient funds have been provided to pay for the additional length of 300 miles of cable which the directors in their report considered it desirable to take to sea this year. This additional 300 miles will make the total length to be taken out for this year's operations 2,885 miles. It is hoped, however, that, if the weather be favourable, a large proportion of the provision for " slack" will be saved. The decrease shown in the weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada is 2,0271. The second ordinary general meeting of the Cal cutta and Burnish Steam Navigation Company (Limited)), for the 31st inst., when a dividend is to be The annual meeting of shareholders in the Vereinsbank, or Union Bank of Hamburg, is called for the 29th inst. in that city.

Tv ESDAT EVIUFINO. The royal assent was given to the Indian Loan Bill yesterday. As the authorities were extremely urgent for the prompt passing of the bill through both houses, upon the plea that the East India Com pany are absolutely running short of money, it is inferred that the loan will be immediately issued. Pending its announcement, business throughout the Stock Exchange remains extremely languid. Firm ness, however, prevails, and the general tendency seems favourable, owing to the superabundant supply of money. The funds were to-day almost stationary in price, at an advance of about 1-18 per cent. upon the closing quotations of yesterday. The government broker bought 14,0001. Console for the sinking fund. Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday exactly 97 for the Bth April, opened this morning at 97 to 1, which was also the closing quotation. For money the last price was 97. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 981, 97k, 97, 97j; ditto, for account (Bth April), 97, 97# ; India stock, for account, 222, 220 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
