MUSIC. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. The concert of last night (the . tifth of the season) wee hammed with the preemie of their Royal Ml:hosier the Prime and Primer of Wales. The programme was as follows: PART I. Bdotonia to 0, Letter V.

Ilemlnunide "; Rossini. Grand Exhibition ( arch Conductor—Professor Stern4ale Bennett, Mu. D. Haydn's Symphony, which began the concert, in one of the peat master's older works, written long before the sym phonies which he produced in t►is country, and in which his powers as an orchestral composer were fully developed. The above symphony is for a comparatively small or chairs, and in a comparatively simple style ; but yet it has that delightful freshness and that sunny and genial character which distinguishes Haydn's music. It is one of those things which never grow old, bat are listened to with constantly renewed pleasure. Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony,which hit composed expressly for the Philharmonic Society, is univer sally admited to be his ctrl-dcro ore, aid is always performed at these concerts con amore, as a work in which the orchestra feel a special and peculiar interest. Arabella God dard, by her execution of two pieces belonging to widely dif ferent periods and in totally different styles, showed the versatility ea well as the greatness of her talents. She never exerted herself more felicitously; and her superb performances were received with the enthusiasm which she never fails to excite. Beethoven's Overture to Leonora is the greatest work of its class that ever was written. It is, in fact, too great for the purpose for which it was deigned ; and its large proportions, its grand and lofty style, make it more like a great symphony than • mere dramatic prelude. Auber's March, written for our Great Exhibit= of 1862, is light, sparkling, and well calculated to form the conclusion of a concert. We need scarcely my that Mdlle. Bettelbeim is the young end charming contralto of Her Majesty's Theatre, who has already become one of the greatest favourites of the public. HUT Msyerhoter has a high reputation in Germany, which he appears to deserve, though the music which he chose was not calculated to dia. play hi powers to the greatest advantage, being more united to the stage than the coscert-room. The royal visitors were attended by a distinguished party, among whom we observed the Countess of Macclesfield, the Earl and Countess of Caithness, Lord Hothans, Lord Mani, She Hon. W. Grey, and )(ajar Teesdale. DRAMA. OLYMPIC. Mr. Tom Taylor's "new and original morality," called Sense and Sensation, or the Sere Sisters of Thmk, which has been underlined in the Olympic playbills for at learnt six months, was produced last night with neither more nor less s•cowe than usually attends pieces that begin at 10 o'clock sad terminate at midnight. The credit which Mr. Taylor may fairly claim is for pre. serving the spirit of his characters through all their many disguises, and for giving us much really good literary dia logue in several of the seems. The acting throughout was admirable, and the dresses most complete and artistic Mr. Atkins played King Sense; Faith, Charity, Prudence, Jus tice, Hope, Courage, and Temperance were represented by Mies Foote, Miss Sheridan, Miss E. Turner, Mims F. Hay den, Mies Kate Ranee, Him Revalue, and Mies Marston. Miss Kate Beams Miss Sheridan, and Mies Marston were new members of the company, and they played themselves is most successfully. Miss Kate Banos sang very effec tively. Sensation was performed by Mr. Rignold—a new comer from Bristol; and Pride, Envy, Anger, Luxury, Sloth, Gluttony, and Avarice were represented by Meson. Vincent, Rivets, H. Wigan, Coghlan, Soueer, Cooper, and Maclean. Mr. Coghlan is also a new comer from Bristol, who promisee to be a valuable addition to the company. A Bat of the shapes the various gentlemen and ladies sesame in the course of the piece would fill half a column, end we must therefore dismiss them by saying that the acting was always excellent. The singing was good, and the mask, selected by Mr. Tully, was lively and spirited, with a fair sprinkling of operatic airs. The emery had the usual Olympic sparkle, but at the sad it was amusing to see Mr, Taylor hoist with his own petard. After ridiculing " Intim" is " Mr. Gravetrap's Theatre," he winds up with • bit of "transformation " timed and bine fire in which • number of ballet dancers are sensatioaally elevated. PRINCESS'S. Mr. Dominica Murray, who his an Australian reputatioa, and who played in the Colleen Boon for a short time at the Adolph', made his first appearance last night at this theatrp as Warerley Brown, in Mr. Byrou's comic drama, The Old Story. Mr. Murray is as dry u the re mainder biscuit after a voyage, and is certainly not calcu lated to shine as an actor of funny parts. He is announced to play Paddy CYRafferty to-night in Power's farce of Boris to Good Luck.. STRAND. The Maid of Honour, a alight piece of the 'setae cont."die class, wail the novelty produced at this theatre last night. It is in one act, and evidently de. signed by Mr. Wooler, its author, to suit the vivacious cha racter of Mile Ada Swanborough's impersonations. At the conclusion the author mu; called for, but it was stated that he was not present. M.: RYLEIIONE. Mr. Cave entered upon the seventh year of his management of this house last bight, as we learn from an address which be has just issued. No London manager of a local the►tre has more spirit and intelligeooe th►n Mr. Cave, and be has succeeded where Mr. Wallack and Mn. Warner certainly failed. ALHAMBRA. The performances at this establishment bare been entirely chanted ; M. Loiseet's circus company have de puted to Crernorue-gudess ; the circus has been cleared away, and this noble building is once more opened as a theatre of varieties. The musical arrangements ere under the charge of Mr. Schalleo, assisted by M. lialoady, the Hungarian composer, and the band, chorus, and oomic and sentimental singers seem to be well chosen. The leading attraction is Millie. Nethalie—the young French female acrobst, who excited so much interest here in 1d62. Mills. Netballe is about twelve years of age, and is the daughter of M. Foucart, the proprietor of one of the best and most highly patronised gymnastic schools in Paris. The graceful and extraordi nary feats performed by this young lady show w►at high beanie' may do with a somewhat delicate frame, and illus trate the beet kind of physical education as practised in France. The same teaching which bas made Wile. Nathalie and her two younger sisters who accompany her, what they are, is brought to bear upon the Prinoe Imperial, and nearly all the children of the Frisch upper classes. There is nothing " sensational^ in the performance of these three children, and if it has a fault it is far too holiest and legitimate for a theatre or a masialtall. THE WHIT-MONDAY HOLIDAY.—We find that Dome 30,000 persica visited the Gametal Palace, and 31,000 the Zoological Gardens, in the Regent's-park—the largest Ember ever recorded at the latter place in one day. The preesssione of benefit and other societies, with their batmen and trappings, and the gatherings of school children, imparted a degree of hfe to various parte of London to which they are not often accustomed. In the evening the theatres and music halls came in for as fair a proportion of patronage as could have been expected after the heats Lod fatigues of such a MUM, holiday. CRYSTAL. PALACE.

Smith sad Elder, with toots@ and an appendix J. 0., contaaning such references Lod documents as will enable the reader to test yawoally the oomperative truth, fairness, and accuracy of the author and his critics. THE REDOWAY Moons.—On Saturday Lewis Gough, the murderer of the blind womaa, Mary Callboys, at Itudgway, near Thornbiary, was again brought up at the Theenbury Policocourt. The prisoner was accommodated in the dock with • chair. On being brought into court the eyes of everyone were of course directed towards him, but be stood the gam of the multitude with the greatest self. th e composure. Ile doee not aat all do per the contrary, we are given to under etand that e looks upon the terrible act of which he confesses himself the perpetrator as a kind of deity, and that he feels be has done • meritorious action. After some other evidence bad been taken, • policeman, named Briers, said : This morning I was on guard over the prisoner m his cell, from 2 to 8 o'clock, when he made • statement to me. I said nothing to induce him to make any statement ; it was entirely voluntary oo his part. After I bad let him wash himself he called in. into the cell, and said—" I went to her door on Monday evening, and I knocked. She came out and said she'd go sad fetch the coostable. She'd looked the gate leading into the garden, and she brought the key to unfasten it. When she came out with the key she said she would go and fetch the constable. She stooped down to unlock it, and as she was in the act of Habig up I hit her with the hammer, and stunned her. I then took out the rotor from my pocket, and cut her throat. I left the woman there, and went back again to my lodgings, sad set before the fire till between 2 and 3 the seat morning. I then went back to the house, and looked at the woman. I saw she was dead, and thee I made off." Pooch, another constable, deposed—The pri• eager made a statement to me. It was entirely voluntary, and I had said nothing to him to induce him to make any statement to me. Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, after he had bees brought back from the inquest, I was on guard er over him in his cell, when he said, " What Mrs. said respecting the hammer is false. That was not the hammer I was using on Monday to nail my boots, it was &mall hammer. The razor she could not say anything about, for she had never seen it. The poor soul gave me the razor three months ago--Mazy. It was one that was her husband's. I saw Pritchard there, Lod it was through Pritchard that brought me to thin. She has told me at times that Pritchard told her he loved her better than he loved his own wife—" The chairman, interposing, said he thought it was not at all fair to make a statemitat that would inculpate any other person in his absence. It was calculated to injure him materially, and it ought not to be publicly reported. Mr. Maclaine : It cansot do any injury now ; it has already been reported in the newspapers. The witness resumed the statement made to him by the prisoner :—" About ten o'clock last Monday night I went to the house and knocked at the door. She opened the door and came out. I wanted to go in, and she said she would hullos murder, and she went towards the gate to call Mr. John Jones. She took the stick in bet hand, and said she would boUoa murder. (The stick alluded to was the knob-stick found near the body of the deceased.) She unlocked the gate, and said, 'I will hole* murder.' I said, ' I will give you murder,' and then I struck her on the nose with the hammer." Ile did not tell me he cut her throat. Prisoner's statement resumed: —" Bs. tween 2 and 3 o'clock, I went back and saw she was dead, and thee I made off." After the depositions were signed, the chairman put the usual question as to whether the prisoner wished to say anything in sower to the charge. Prisoner—"l have nothing to say; it'll do no good, as I do see." The magistrates then oommitted the prisoner for trial at the next Glouoester anise. DIVITILUCTIVIS FtRZ AT NZWINGTON.—Last night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, a detractive fire broke out on the premise@ of Mr. James, greengrocer end fishmonger, No. 6, Old Kent-road, a few doors from the Elephant aud Castle, which resulted in the total destruction of the house and the whole of its contents. The fire, which broke out on the second floor, win first discovered by some pe10101:10 on the roof of one of the Metropolitan Railway omnibus s, which happened to be paining at the time, and who at once gave the alarm. borne time elapsed before the arrival of the engine., and when they got to the snag of oonfiagra tioo, the whole of the house wee in flames from top to bottom.

Degby Seymour, Q.C. and Mr. Bather Kelby sp. pawed foe the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. Clambers, sod Mr. Snow for the defendant. The plaintiff was a young woman, the daughter of • gu ise= who had been architect to the Dean and Chapter of Catboat, but after her father's death it became necessary for bar to do something foe her support, sad she learned tbe millinery business. Sb. Wed one or two situations in this capacity, and in December, 1862, she went into the service of the defendant, who keeps • milliner's shop in the neighbour of Oxfordutreet. During the time that she remained Uwe something was mid on one or two occasions is reference to the defendant having mimed money. One of those occasions was in October. 1863, and at that time the defendant charged the plaintiff with having taken 31. 10. from hie dealt. The consequence of this was that the plaintiff left, but soon afterwards she obtained the promise of a situation at Num. and Co.'s, in Graoschurchatant, who were to pZ P E: 501. a•year, in Wiliam to bard. To the lady who sect to inquire into her character on behalf of Mean. Capper and Co. the defendant said she was dishonest, and that be could prove that she had taken money and goods. She, of coarse, did not get the situation. The plaintiff, in her evidence, stated that the defendant bad on more than one occasion attempted to kiss her, and it wan suggested that his wish to obtain some control over her had induoed him to make • false charge ageing* her. The plaintiff also denied that there was any truth in the imputations which had been I made on her. The defence was that the defendant, when be was applied to for the plaintiff's character, bad honestly slated chat he believed to be the truth, and that therefore his commu nication was privileged. The defendant aboo positively denied that he had ever taken any liberty with the plaintiff. Evidence was given with the view of showing that the defendant had grounds for suspecting the plaintiff of taking the money, and u to the pods there was very contndietery evidence as to whether a pair of drawers worth 2s. 6d., which had been received trom the plaintiff's washerwoman, beloapd to the plaintiff or the defendant. .The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages COI., sad added that there was no ground for any redaction ripen bee character.

The emoad count charged the defendant with detaining certain certifi cates of shams in the London and Lisbon Cork Wood Com pany, and then was another count for money lean The defendant pleaded that be did not acoept the bill of ex change, denied the consideration, and said he was induced to incept the bill by fraud. There was also a considerable number of other pleas. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Hy. James, were oremeal for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Oates, for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Newton, bed anted as eeeretery of a company called the British and Foreign Cork Company (Limited), in which he had a considersble number of shares. The defendant, Mr. Reads, who was a solicitor, carrying on business in Lincoln's-inn.fields, enter e d into an arrangement to take 500 five pound shame in that company, and gave bills at various dates for the amount payable upon them. Certain negotia. lions took place between the plaintiff sad defendant in re gard to meeting some of these bills, and oncoming to the plaintiff's evidence the bill of exchange in que/Mon was accepted by the defendant in return for the plaintiff's ac ceptanos for 2061., and for 561. advanced in cash. In the warm of the plaintiff's examination the feels con nected with the transaction between the parties a”eared to be of a very complicated nature, and the learned jud ge z if r ee red. ted that it was a owe which might very properly be A conference took place between the counsel on each side, but the plaintiff refused to cowing to a reference, and said he preferred to take the opinion of the jury. Mr. D. Seymour said he could not consent to a reference while a charge of head remained on the pleadings. Mr. Oge expressed his willingness to withdraw that, and leave it to mote gentleman to look into the 'n eonate and say what was fair between the plaintiff and de. fondant. - Mr. Hy. James regretted he wee sot at liberty to/of:opt the offer. The Lord Chid Baron asked whether there was ally pro bability of the trial terminating before four o'clock, when the court would the? Mr. Coleridge said if the defence were entered upon the case could not possibly be tried out that day. The plaintiff hare observed that he could state his own came in five minutes if he were allowed to do so in his own way. (Laughter.) Mr. Colimfte—But we have a little to say up= the matt. The Lord Chief Baron said that if the case were Dot con cluded to-day, it would have to be tried by soother jury at the sittings after nest term. ! . . Mr. D. Seymour mid perhaps his lordship would make the ease a mascot. The Lord Chief Baron did not think be should be justified in adjourning the ease, and giving the same jury the trouble to attend at the next sittings to continue the trial. He should certainly decline to adjourn it. After another consultation had taken place, Mr. D. Seymour said he felt the full (one of what his lordahip bad said, but his client would not swami to the arrangement proposed. At one o'ckek his lordship said be would adjourn the court for a quarter of an hour, and in the meantime the parties might reconsider the matter. On his return, Mr. Coleridge laid he regretted to announce that he had exhausted all efforts at conciliation. Mr. Henry James said they had done all they possibly could with a view to an arrangement, but their cheat in sisted upon the trial going on. He (the learned counsel) was therefore entirely in the hands of the court. The Lord Chief Baron—Then let the trial go on. to-day Mr. Coleridge — lt will be a mere waste of time to go on The Lord Chief Barra—l cannot help that. llz. Serjeant BaHantine asked if his lordship would take any other ease. _ _ His lordship replied that he would not, and the counsel sod the parties interested in the other miss then left the court, and the trial proceeded. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence the learned judge held that the use resolved itself into s matter of ac count, and ordered it to be referred to the Muter. The court then rose. p Mr. Etureharw—You did so 4 hear him Main • duiorb sloe or silos bed hook.. Whose—No, I did not.

THE FREECH OAHE. CHANTILLY SPRING MEETING. Magnihoeut weather yesterday (Sunday) favoured the French Oaks day, and • large number of spectators ware of the armed. The stands were well filled, altb unlike the niestinp at Longchanips—the fair si:: formed but • small minority among the company present. Chantilly lies beyond the mere range of pleasurwseekers,sind few but real admirers of the sport are to be seen, although these latter now constitute a goodly somber, as the busy throng of betters in the incloenre clearly testified. The b ors commenced with a selling nee, which brought out a field of not lass than fifteen of all ages, the sinew being Prince de Sestivau's Courts, who was bought in by his owner at a sacrifice of 523 fr. A half-mile nice along the new course followed, and, as was expected, proved an easy victory for the Duke de Marny's Partisan. The next event on the card was • handicap, which produced a muter of fourteen and a good race, • fair share of the starters being well up at the finish. Those stakes alto fell to the lot of I the Duke de Morey with Ninon de l'Enelos— the lowest' weight—and increased hie day's wincing by above B,ooofr. An unfortunate Melding attended the start for this race. Mr. Carter's Grids Dame bolted, and, after running for about three-quarters of • mile, jumped the rails. She wu pulled up and led to the post by her owner, but no her head being let go she knocked down Mr. Carter, who got • sharp blow on the head, and received • rather severs @baking. No serious con sequences an, however, apprehended. In spite of Pile de l'Air's late failure at Newmarket in the Two Thousand Guinea Stakes, her winning the " Prix de Diane," or Ladies' race, which followed, was looked ur on as almost a foregoes con shone, long odds being laid on her beating the field. She has now, apparently, recovered her two-year-old form, and without an effort diskesed of all that were brought out against her. She is Pringho-Sallsgb, out of Pauline, and is metered fee English Oaks and the Great Paris Prize. Her running in 1863 consisted of tee races—all in England—of which she won fin, beating all the English Derby favourites who ran in public during the year. The day's proceedings closed with a nee for all ages, which was carried off by Souniiee, another of Orient La grange's three-year old flyers, but unfortunately not engaged in any of the great events of the year.—Gelig loan i. CRICKET. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v. THE UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. This great annual match, which is played to aid the Cricketers' fund, geoerally excites leach interest. On this occesino, owing to the absence of several in Australia that are att idled to the respective Elevens, sides were selected to represent them, and both teams appeared "upon paper," to he on an equality ; bat perhaps for choice All England appeared the better of the two. However, the match wee eommeoced yesterday morning at about 12 o'clock, on Lord's Oronod, the weather being spleedid, and about three or four thousand spectators preeset. The All England Eleven woo the tom for choice of innings, and sleeted to go troths wickets first, sending in G. Bennett, sad T. Humphrey, to Atkinson and Griffitb's bowling. Humphrey marked a three and two singles, whoa be was bowled by Griffith ; one wicket and 9 runs. C. Daft next appeared, and • change of bowling ewe followed, Sewell arid Grundy taking • taro.

Their lordahips this morning delivered judg. meet. Aortic, Wtlls, in delivering the judgment of the court, said there were twc4poiets.upon which the decision of the court wee asked. The lust point raised was whether the stamp duty upon letters of administration should be cakaLted upon the principal sum oulv, or upon the principal and interest added that bad Amami:LW iron the time of decease till letters of adminis tration were taken out. The Court of Exchequer, before whom the ow was originally argued, decided in favour of the crown, viz., that the interest must be added to the principal a ndl duty charged upon the whole as one principal sum. The asecond point was whether a wife during her marriage acquired a right to a distributive share of the intestate's estate, and died without asserting her claim, leaving her husband living, it was necessary for the next of kin of the husband, in order to enforce the right of the wife, to take out letters at administration to both the hus band and wife, and to pay stamp duty upon each.

This had been dose, and it was fond that the address given is the letter was a pablia house, and that a parses whom name corresponded with that at the foot of the letter celled occasionally for letters. There was therefore no doubt but it was merely a ruse to obtain the money. Mr. Alderman Phillips remarked that it was a very old mode of obtaining money, sod one which had already been expand in the papas upos several oixsaiosis. - John Callaghan, • labourer. was charged with amaalling John Charter. polies constable 23 H.

Yesterday the annual feast of the Sunday-school children of Manchester and Salford, =nay occupying the entire week, commenced under very favourable sircam graces. The weather, generally so wet and inclement in this northern district at this season, was for once bright, warm, and summer-like, with every prospect of Its con tinuance. The schools of the established church, which generally take the lead, bad their great sw ept' mtheeing and proemial to the cathedral death yesterday, sad began to muster in St. Ann's square, Ia front of the Ex change, at an early hour. Each school was headed by the clergy, churchwardens, and teachers, sad walked with banners dying and music. There were in all about 40 schools, and from 13,000 to 14.030 chilleen , and the girls being able to sport their beet dresses (mostly white), without any fear of bad weather, and to dispense with umbrellas and cloaks, the spectacle was one of the finest and most pleasing withered for many years. As fast as the schools muttered in the square they were marched forward and took the places assigned them in the programi the route, as usual, embracing a circuit of all the mine greet' in the *entre of the town. The pro cession was o f unusual length, the van having passed one end of the F.xclunge, on he way to the cathedral, before the rear left the other, and forming a line of mon than a mile. The number of children in the proomsion, as usual, was fez exceeded by the number of people who assembled to wither the spectacle. All along the route, both sides in the street were lined with spectators, four, six, or more in depth, while the windows of every building were crowded with lookers on. The material and paternal heart naturally yearns to witness a spectacle of such a character as this, gad people come with their children (em bracing even infants in erns) from considerable direness to smile upon and patronise it. On reaching the cathedral, about eleven o'clock, the elder scholars ester the building to Join In the eerrios, while the younger ogles Ile MI with the beads of mimic and some few of their teachers, and are taken to their schools gain, where a re past of currant cakes and milk is prepared for them. Of ochres during the few hours occupied by the proemial the triffie of all the streets within a certain radius, and them the busiest of the city, is suspended and thrown into sad disorder, so that by the time it is over, long limes of carts, waggons, omnibuses, and of every imaginable description of wahine, besides crowds of pederriam, an waiting at the god of evert street eoeveripag on the route, and 101=111111 kande is given to the police to restore order out of this chaos end prevent accident to life or limb. On this occa sion, so far m we can learn, they were quite as me rciful as could be expected, and no accident of any moment is known to have taken place. The Whit-week Sunday-school festival thus inaugurated, as stated before, will last throughout the week. To-day and on sucosedieg days the schools of all denominations ham their annual trips into the lconstry. Dunham-park, Lyme park, Ad li ogtou Whancliffe Rocks, Alley Edge, Wonky, the salt mines of Cheshire, in feet every Locality within twenty or thirty miles of Manchester famed for its rural deanery, for the picturesque, or for anything, has its troop of youthful visitors from Sunday schools addition to urns excursionist' ou almost every day in the weak. Every railway out of the town has its twenty or thirty ex carrion trains per day, end the canals have their boat loads, while strings of wimps@ and carte are also fitted up, and, premed into service for the conveyance at enrols to distant places to @cloy this anneal holiday. And while the city is thus considerably denuded from day to day of its true pope lanes, their demos is generally more than counterbarsioed by the thousands of people from the eonutry (tired of its doll monotony) who dock in from every direction, especially during the race days) anxious to have a frisk in the town, and alloy a sight of its wonders, and enter into its brisker life. DRINXING FOUNTAINS. TO TNT EDITOT OT TEX IMPTII3B. Srs,—ln anticipation of the approaching hot summer days, the Committee of the Metropolitan Free Waking Fountains hmociation beg to inform the public that funds are urgently needed to enable the society to am times those exertions whitb have hitherto been attended with such great success. Through the instrumentality of this aseociation upwards of !eighty fountains have been already erected, at which it is computed not lees than • quarter of • million people drink daily during the beat of the year. It is the desire of the society to extend the boon as far as possible to every corner of the metropolis, so that the thirsty wayfarer may rot be forced into the necessity of repairing to the public-house. The on:amine° are overwhelmed with applicatioas for new fountains, but are usable to erect fresh ooes from want of hinds ; sod for the same raison the provision made for the relief of the enfferiags of cattle sod dogs from thirst falls far short of what is requited. All the fountains of the sasociation are under coartant supervision, and qualified workmen are employed to keep them in an efficient state, but several of those erected by private benevolence have become dllspidated, and even dry. If the public will afford the means, she committee propose offering to undertake the supervision of ell the fountains in London, and thereby to secure for each the necessary attention. I shall be happy to receive *attributions in aid of theme objects, or subscriptioas may be paid at the office of the association, 1, Shorter's-court, Throgniortonatreet, E.C., where any further Information may be obtained.—l am, be SAMUEL GURNEY, Chairman. 25, Prince's-gate, S.W., May 16,1864.
