Concert Overture, "Die liabriden" (ringers Cave) Haydn's !symphony, on the authority of the programme, bad never before been performed, and bad therefore all the interest of a new work. Mille. Caterho made her third appearance in England, first at these concerts, was beard on this occasion in secu lar music—her two previous performances having been limited to the sacred style. The success of this young lady in each of these instances (the recent concerts of the Sacred Harmonic Society and Mr. Henry Leslie) has , been duly recorded in the Exprae Mdlle. Carola's delivery of the aria from Mr. Costa's oratorio was marked by all that fervour without exaggeration, purity and refinement of style, which were observable in her pre vious performances ; while the two secular pieces of the shove programme were given with • bright end facile vocalization, and a thorough appreciation of their very opposite styles that evinced • cultivated taste and judg ment, as well as • high degree of executive power. Loth in Bellini's florid air, and in the quaint national Swiss song Mdlle. Carols again created a decidedly fa vourable impression, being loudly applauded in both, and encored in the litter. Haydn's symphony, apparently an early work (only recently discovered), although not comparable in importance and development to his later productions of that class, bears unmistakable signs of the master band in each movement, especially in the final " Presto." The symphony is scored for a small orchestra, no drum being employed, and the only wind instruments being oboes and horns. Yet so skilful is the orchestral writing, and so well are the effects contrasted and amal gamated, that there is no impression of any deficiency either in power or variety. Tho first movement starts with a short, bold, unisonons passage, leading to a theme of no very special character—the treatment of the second portion of the movement, however, displaying a mastery and vigour that redeem it from any impression of triteness. The Adagio has much grace:of character, the horns being copiously and effectively used ; occasionally, in rather an unusual manner, in reinforcement of the basses. The minuet is stately, with a rather commonplace trio—and the finale is one of those pieces of lively and vigorous writing of which so many admirable specimens exist in the closing portions of °thereof Haydn's symphonies. The pasaing touches of contrapuntal treatment surrounding the principal themes of the movement are such as only • con summate master could so happily incorporate with light and graceful accessories. The symphony, miniature as it is in comparison with the composer's " twelve grand," is a welcome addition to those we already possess—little more than half of the hundred and twenty such works which the great masterjproduced. Can no more be re. covered ? Surely not all which are missing were destroyed by the fire in Haydn's dwelling at Eisenstadt, 'by which we know some of Ibulyn's manuscripts were lost. It were much to be wished that some competent, patient, and laborious inquirer would classify and authenticate the symphonies of Haydn, by, as far as possible, the same pro cess of research that has been so admirably exercised by von Kethel in reference to Mozart's compositions. Another interesting feature of Saturday's concert, although not a novel one, wan the admirable performance of Beet hoven's " Emperor" concerto—a piece which, while calling for the display of the highest powers of the pianist, contains also the grandest development of musical thought in the most important symphonic form. We have on several former occasions spoken of Madame Arabella Codilard's powerful interpretation of this excep tionally vent work, and need now merely say that it was nev:r more splendidly played by that lady than at Satur day's concert, notwithstanding the recent illness which lima somewhat interrupted bet public performances. 31<yerhter's patchy overture to his brother's tragedy, with its intermittent passages of power and rich orchestration; and Mendelsaohn's deeply-conceived and admirably.deve loped musical picture, completed an interesting selection, which, moreover, had the merit of being none too long, and sot overladen with vocal silos. Next Saturday's programme will offer one of those special &Mare@ which, in addition to the general excel knee of the orchestral playing, have long rendered these concerts eminent—a " tragic symphony " (" Tragische Sinfonie "), by Franz Schubert, will be performed for the Ent time. ST. JAIIE,S'S HALL. Professor Bennett's sacred and secular cantatas, The IVtanan a f Saan.zisid and TAe !gay Queen, were per formed heir on Friday night, with full orchestra and chorus, conducted ly Mr. W. G. CU-41214 The Hey ea was originally composed for and performed at the Leeds Festival in 1858. Although a work of moderate length, Dr. Bennett ban prefaced it , within overture as regular in plan and important in deve lopment as though belon;ing to an elaborate stage work. The skilful and varied orchestral effects of this im portant inxtrnmentsl prelude were excellently rendered by the capital orchestra assembled ; and the chorus—in this as in the previews performance reinforced by a send. . . . clue-us of the Luly students of the Royal Academy of Music—was of correTonding efficiency. 'Tho vocal solos were thua assigned i—those of the May Queen (soprano), to Miss Poyntz ; of the Queen (contralto), to Madame Sainton- Dolby ; of the lover (tenor), to Mr. Cummings; and of Robin Hood (bass), to Signor Foli, who was encored in the quaint ballad" 'Tra jolly to hunt." The fresh and genial character of the well-known music of the Mug Oats formed an excellent climax and contrarit to the more serious tone of the preceding work ; both together affording sufficient proof of the versatile power of a composer who so worthily eutt-ins the reput..tion of Eeglish music. THE CIVIC VISIT TO EGYPT. —ACIVIDeII from Cairo state that Sir Thomas Gabriel Sir Sydney Waterlow, and their ladies, accompanied lay Mr. Deputy Virtue, reached Alexandria on the '27th January, all well, having experienced • very pleasant, although rather • stormy, passage from Marseilles. The British Consul. General Game on board the steamer housediately on its arrival in the harbour, and kindly placed one of the Vice roy's state launches at the disposal of the party, and in charge of his own dragoniam Having visited Pompey's Pillar, Cleopatra. Needle, and the other sight, of Alexia. Aria, our friends departed the next day for Cairo. Since their arrival in this ancient and most interesting capital they have received every possible u_ark of attention. On the Stith of January they were entertained at an Glacial dinner at the British consulate. Zeki Bey, the chamber lain of the Viceroy, attended them the day after their arrival, intimating the Pach i's desire to afford them every possible facility for visiting the various antiquities. The 31 et January was devoted to a visit to the Pyramids and the tombs in the vicinity. On the let February the gen tlemen were received by the Viceroy at the Palace el Ohizeh. On the led the ladies were received by the Princess, the mother of the Viceroy, and the ladies of the berm. On the inh February the when party left Cairo for a trip up the Nile to Thebes, Luxor, and the First Cataract, the Viceroy having most generously placed one of his steamers at their entire .lisposal, fully equipped with every luxury for thirty days ; they do not, however, expect to be absent from Cairo more than twenty days.— City Prat. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT SOETHAMPTON.—A sad boat accident happened in Southampton Water on Saturday. Mr. John Cox, a gunsmith, of Southampton, and the armonrer of the 2nd limits Ride Volunteers, was about to enter the regular army as armourer and to resign his position in the volunteers In favour of Mr. Dixon, • military pensioner, who acted as marker at the shooting rounds of the "rid Hants. They both left the West, I;May about 10 o'clock in the morning to cross Southamp. ton Water, in a email sailing-boat, to Mareliwood Maga eines, to take stock of the ammunition belonging to their regiment. They were accompanied by • boy, one of those water Arabs who look after the West Quay boats. When the boat was about bed ley across she was elect and sunk in a squall, and Memen.oez and Dixon were drowned. The accident was sent frima each shore and boats put off immediately. The bey. es goon as the boat capsized and sunk, swam towards*, shore and was picked up by • boat.

'se sent Deeensbenaal we oceaton to er- notice tae opening of the People's Market, 272, Whlicchslisl• road, which had been established by Mr. Jo/in tliCall, of llonndsditch, for the sale, at mice* below those usually chatged by retail dealers, of butchers' meat, vegetables, breed, butter, provisions, groceries, and other articles. The market Las now been open for more than two mouths, and during that time an active business has been done by the salesmen in all tho departments. The greatest amount of goods were sold in the first week daring whith the market wee open. Time prices charged were theta eonst derably below tho rates at the retail shoes in the neigh- Isoulhood, and the indueement to housekeepers to avail thenvelves of the market was proportionately great. In the course of the last few weeks, however, the shopkeepers, who hail felt the effect of this new form of competition in diminished business, have reduced their prices to about the same rates as are charged in the market. Some indeed charge rather less ; but it is doubtful whether the articles they supply are quite as good as those which may be ob tained of Messre.M'Calland Co. The effect of this alteration has been that some of the retail trade of the neizlitour hood has returned to the old channels, and the business done in the market has slightly diminished in extent The market is not, however, entirely dependent upon the patronage of the dwellers in its immediate vicinity. In order to extend its advantages to families residing at a distance branches have been opened close to the termini of the Great Eastern, South Eastern, and Noi th London Railways. At the two firstmentiened depots a stozk of some articles is kept ; and both there, and at the third branch, any goods which ara ordered in the morning are delivered the same afternoon. The proprietors of the People's Market have not confined their at tention to the supply of raw provisions at mode ' rate rates. They hare also made an attempt to deal with the question of providing cheap cooked food for the poor. Twice a day they sell good soap—pea, curry, or Scotch broth—at 2.d. a quart, and a pint of any one of these soups, with a large piece of bread, which is supplied for a halfpenny, is found to furnish no had for a labouring man or woman. So much is the soup 4i proved of by the people in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel. that about 300 gallons are sold daily, and sometimes as many as 200 persons are to be seen drinking it at ea* time Basing are supplied by the proprietors of the market, but the soup-drinkers have to bring their own spoons. We paid a visit to the market on Saturday night, at the time that the soup was being sold, and witnessed the satisfac tion with which it was swallowed by both men and women, by both old and young. The soup served on Saturday night was pea soup, and having tasted it we can vouch for its being well flavoured, strong, and nourishing. It certainly hardly merited the lavish en eonitun which Lord Brougham once pronounced upon some penny soup in the House of Lords, greatly to the amuse meat of the peers, "Better soup your lordships never tided ;" but it was such a liquid as no hard.working man or woman need despise, and which no unsophisticated palate would reject. For those who are more nice in their tastes, or are blessed with more abundant means, there is always on hand a good supply of cooked meats, hams, . tongue, brawn, &c., and as these are sold at prices con siderably under those charged in the ordinary ham and beef shops they are always in brisk demand. Altogether so great has been the success of this undertaking hitherto, that the proprietors have determined to extend their ope rations to another part cf London. Premises—formerly occupied by an unsuccessful cheap dining establishment— ; have been secured in the New Cut, Lambeth, and in a few ; weeks a market similar in all respects to that in White r chapel will be opened there.

This gave him a chance 2 to 1 bettor than that of I Lord lorgan's Master M'Grath, who, after upsetting the great Brigade "pet," vanquished Jock Robin in good style, to the delight of Joe aluggina's Dee and pease humble servant. But I take no credit to i nyselt for having' " tipped" the whiner last Monday, giving it all to Joe, who confesses be little thought his hint about the noble lord winning would have got into print, and only hopes that all the thousands " Meteor" his addressed for the last doaen years profited by it to a man. It was certainly a sweetener for those unfortunates who were robbed of their Lincoln " long shot" by the Czar's break-down, 20 to 1 being a sensible mice for " punters" to win at, especially when they had so much in band, the boast often wade by racing lunatics, that a certain horse can "fall down and then get up and win," being fully carried out in the case of Lord Lurgan's dog, es he cleverly won his second course after a tumble. The final settling will be rather a novelty to bookmakers, who have invariably drawn on the public purse to a pretty fair tune over the contest, but have to part with some of their win nings now. It has been a bad week for them altogether, though there were some lambs skinned at Harrow on Thursday and Friday, those backers who meddled with the principal steeplechase before the Geld was weighed out having all the worst of it, as one good thing after another (including my Tottie, who went lame after winning on the first day) was scratched in the most irritating wanner, whilst the clerk of the course's " correctioo," that Wood bury Hill should have been included among the accept emcee, was incorrect itself. The result in favour of the Duke of Hamilton's Sinite did not improve his grace's °hence for the Grand National, 20 to 1 being now offered against the whole lot of five in his interest ; in fact, neither here nor at Moreton-in-the-Marsh (where J. Adams turned up well enough to ride, showing the reports of his accident than practising to have been fox tunately exaggerated) did say fact transpire to enlighten the world concerning the rue, which has been rendered more perplexing than ever by the latest movements. Moose has won a great trial, end come with a great " rush," to the detriment of Pearl Diver and Bea king, whose owner must have been more bold than serious when he offered to take 4,000 to 2,000 'his Majesty l :..at Chimney Sweep in their places ; and Fen has become as " fatty " as Thalmius, the Plover, Port I Royal, the Doctor, or Helen since the rumour of her changing hands has got abroad . What grounds there are for this I am not aware, and Fan may possibly recover some day, like the Lamb and Tusculanum, two very dangerous customers, have just done. The " pony " now promisesto turn out as good a thing as a performer in steeplechase with some 25 starters can well be ; but it will be an awful nee to make a selection for at the last moment, and those who leave it alone will come beet off, no doubt. The meetings held supplementary to Lincoln, at Boston and Mansfield, were sad failures, the latter taking de cidedly the wrong day, as it should have been held on Thursday. But its failure was apparent immediately the programme was made up, and the only good done by the sport" was to give Murray an encouraging turn in his new purple and white jacket, three walks over and a match being easy work for a jockey to swell his averages by. It is to be feared the current week's meetings will be marred by • " w. 0." or two, the business promising to be very quiet altogether, whether at Nottingham and Derby, or among the military at Windsor. However, sportsmen want a breather, after the great excitement they have just undergone, the Lincoln and Great Waterloo reunions with five or six minor race and steeplechase gather ings being rather too much in one week for people who have been quiescent so long, and who nerves have been so shaken by the fears—happily ground leas—that one of the few races aquatic men can speak proudly of now-a-days had gone "off." The Newmarket stables will be just as strong at Nottingham as they were at Lincoln, and Joseph Dawson threatens to do a great business in the handicaps. He has no fewer than four 'in the principal one—Knight Errant, Artesian, Othello, sad Noma Pompilios—and is well worth following in such moderate company, particularly if it suite the book to let either the Roman or the Moor go, albeit there is I danger Lord Westmorland with Ma ster Willie, and old Edinburgh might run into a "place." The Mexican blues, again have Claymore nicely in the Stand Plate, Chapel Royal being well in for this and the Innkeepers' Plate also; and Artesian must do Mr. Pryor good service in the second day's Forest Plate. Moonbeam in the latter ease, and Mr. G. Angell in another or so, might disturb the party, and the Duke of Newcastle is sure to be in the way now and then ; still, the best I can discover among his grace's string is Sweet Anne for the Newcastle (Plate. The other closed races are principally weight for ego, Last Rose of Summer for the Trial, Elvire for the M oroni, Luck's All for the Hunt Cup, and DeVere or Lelia for the Little John, being my fancies, badly as the latter's stable companion Lure ran at Lincoln, it being sadly against this daughter of Amazon's character that she was allowed to lose her maidenhood by the walk over at Mansfield. The Handicap Hurdle Bas will create some interest if Moose or Pearl Diver is pulled out by Mr. Bayley, as either ought to win to make the red and yellow look well for the Grand National, seeing that Brick and Orne axe the beat of the remainder. The same pair are in the Hurdle race st the Derby meeting, which follows Nottingham on Thursday and Friday, Moose being in the Steeplechase !there likewise ; but the latter is not likely to perform for the sake of practice, as he did at Birmingham, and will I I sever be allowed to incur the 10ib penalty for Liverpool I by winning, Benaset being_the more likely to achieve that honour. His opponents will be very few in number ; snd I I am afraid that the fields for the whole of the events in the Derby programme will be small, as the Nottingham run is bound to reduce some of them to "certainties." uu The day has quickly been fixed for the sale of the Doke of Ileaufort's horses, which comprise eight two-year olds, ten threes, and eight elders. They should bring • good round sum, especially as the twenty-eight " lota " are to be put up under " Lord Exeter's conditions," but for which the juveniles would frighten buyers clean out of the held. Let them be eider so beautiful, it would be hard to induce the moat impetuous plunger into buying without trying the eight,with their 218 engagements, more than one-fourth of which a son of Trumpeter and The ROO la Committed to. Europa is the crack three-year-old, an honour divided by Vauban and Viridis as regards the fours, and among those arrived at years of maturity there is Deniers, to lose whom I am sure J. Day would be sorry. However, she la in none of the great spring handicaps, wherein J. Day may not be so very weak after the sale is over, as some intending buyers will leave their purchases where they are to be trained. Seville is not advertised at all, as she never really belonged to the Duke, and what a roar there would be if she won the Chester Cup in the Vauban hoops.—l am, he., METEOR. BETTING IN LONDON.--SATtraDAT. The prootedings to ay were almost entirely confined to the Liverpool Grand National, in connexion with which several in.portant moves took place. Fan, Daisy, ebillloo7 Sweep, Alcibiade, and Tennyson retained almost the same positions of the preceding day, and each was in turns backed to win a good sum. The feature of the day, how ever, was the extraordinary advance of Moose from a com paratively outside position to that of almost first favonr itiam, and in the *Dune of a very short time this horse was backed to win several thousands at prices ranging from Al to Itol4to 1. Tnecnlanum, who has been shelved recently, was recalled into favour to-day, as little as 100 to 7 being taken about him several timer Benaset at one moment looked like coming as a slur peke, 25 to 1 being accepted kindly, but towards t . no finish 500 to 15 was offered without a reeponae. Alin& ibe was in fair request at 100 to 3, and Beadle was eisoesion all invested upon at 50 to 1. For the Chester Cup' 2. to 1 was offered on the field, with a counter proposed on to accept '25 to 1 about Abergeldie, and these list men tinned odds were pretty freely booked in favour of Bossed ng and Paul Jones. For the Two Thousand 3to 1 wee offered against Rosicrucian, while 100 to 30 would ha ye been taken. Typhoeus was the only other hone bed ced, 1000 to 70 being accepted about him two or three ti MOS.

COTTON GOODS.—Llalratesree, Fan. 22—This MOM leg the market opens with a rather easier and quieter feeling. Spinneni and manufacturers all the week kayo sustained prices with a good deal of fira.ness, tut prac tically they hove never been able to overtake the con stant advances in cotton, the vales of which have been 145,000 bales, including 67,000 to the trade. The price of cotton has advanced; about lid. per lb. diving the week, but goods and yarns have not re..lised an advance of more than Id. or lid. per lb. at most over the rates of last week. The cause of this has not alone been the caution observed by buyers, and their unwillingness to believe iu such a specabstive movement being sustained, but is partly due to the speculative feeling retying been early to manifest itself in this market. Both yarn and cloth were bought early in the movement (at to 3d. per lb. under present quotations), and the consequence is that the holders can afford to offer them at rates which entirely shut the spinner and manufacturer out of the market. To-day buyers hold back from a conviction that there will be a reaction. WOOLLEN.—Lsros, Frt. 22.—We are not able to report a very animated market this morning. The attend ance of buyers has not been large, neither have any trans actions of importancetaken place. The demand has shown but little alteration. The inquiries for tweeds are still the most prominent, but the parcels which have left the halls this morning have not been of such magnitude as we have sometimes had to note. They have, however, been in tolerably gond request, and have formed the bulk of the business operations in the coloured market. The transfer ' of coatings has not been large, but, as we have previously remarked, the delivery of this class of manufacture from the cloth halls is oonsiderably affected in consequence of many parcels being sent to the merchant direct from the manufacturer in the execution of orders. A few medium. sized parcels of hair lists have left the white hall, but upon the whole the trade has not been very brisk in this &pertinent. WOOL AND WORSTED. ERAnrow, Fall. ?2. There has been a steady business doing in the wool market during the past week. The demand is still confined to the better sorts of wool, sod prices have a hardening ten dency. Holders of wool are exceedingly firm, knowing ' that they cannot replace their stocks at the rates current in the market. Though prices have been stiffer for some weeks past, yet the upward tendency is exceedingly slow, the fractional advance of one week being with difficulty established in the next. Spinners also have during the week been seeking higher quotations for worsted yarns, which have been in rather better request both for home and export. There are some spinners who have recently taken considerable orders, and are consequently •ery firm in insisting on higher rates. A slight advance may be ob tained on some sorts. Low 30's, which have been long neglected and selling at races quite unremunerative, com mand much better prices. A fair business might gene rally be done at late rates. The higher quotations soeght, tend to check business. The buoyant state of the Liver pool market has caused some slight activity in the piece trade. Some good contracts have been effected in plain goods. There has also been same business done for America and for France. Cheap lota of fancy goods have been readily bought. Still the aggregate business done in much below the average. Stocks are heavy in the hands of ma. nut adorers, many of whom do little Nosiness. The demand for camlets, lastinp, Lc. for the Eastern markets continues active at higher rates. The upward tendency in cotton warps creates a new obstacle for the manufacturer. CORN.—CAMBSIDGE, FEB. a—The trade Ives' slow with a slight advance upon all corn. Wheat, 75. to 80s. barley, 40.. to 455. ; beans, 45a. to 55. ; oats, 275. to 3 3 .; COLCHESTER.
