Mr. Gl, , ver gave his "Annual Monster Concert" (as be himself calla it) yesterday morns at At. Jams/s -hall. It was well entitled to be so walled ; for it was of wriestrorei magnitude in All its dioesidons. Of the per formers it nay Le said that their same was legion. Among the vocations there were Miss Pangs., Medea. Catherine Hayes, Mite Augusta Thomson, Madame Louisa Finning, Madame Weir, Mies Leecellea, Madame Laura Easter, Mr Gerard, the His... Bn.ugham, Mina Poole, Mr. Sims Meerres, Mr. Swift, Mr. Perren, Mr. Thomas, and Kr. Wilbye Cerger. There were the members of the London Glee and Madrigal Union, under the direction of Mr. Lad. A select choir of a hundred voice., conducted by hi. Prime Galli:in, sang several sacred ehoml pie , ca front the service of the Greek church. Theo, for instrimenteli.ts, there were Mies Arabella Goddard. Herr Molapie, H. baintoe, Mr. Sydeev Pnitten, Mr. Lass, roe, mid H. Puque. And this tuir-ful boat was oillemed by no Les than six malodors—Mr. Benedict, Mr. 1. Borges, Mr. Harold Thomas, Mr. Claim, Mr. Lindsay Sawa, sad Mr. Balfe. The programme was the bill of fare of a parted, Lard Mayor's feast of music. There were Mayen forty and fifty piece., many of them instrunsental performances of emmiderehle length. And we must add, that the sales. tiun, though it presented little novelty and consisted tidally of things well known to the musical public, was marked throughout by taste and judgment, and displayed to the best advantage the gifts and qualities of the several per formers. It wts a concert cal4ulated, as a whole, to satisfy the keenest appetite, while those who partook of any por tion of it could not fail to meet wit► something that was phasing and intematiug. The hall was crowded, and the principal performan , es wore rv,is ell with warm demon• stratwas of approbation tad pleasure. r.

In consequence of the immense quantity of float ing ice in the Medway the greatest difficulty has been experienced the whole of the day in communicating with the varimi, vessels of war in harbour, the different boats' crews having to force their way through the broken frag ments of ies which base accumulated along the side of the river near the dockyard and Gun-wharf. The government steamers have been scarcely able to reach the railway pier at Strood owing to the muses of floating ice through which they had to fusee their way. Last week we mentioned that an Isle of Wight packet was fired into between Portsmouth and Cowes by persous engaged in gunnery practice. In consequence of this the government hese prohibited arum between Porte mouth aail Southampton Water. It appears that young cams, for the sake of frolic, have repeatedly, when en - in gunnery practice, tried bow near they could fire to tie Isle of Wight packets without hitting them. • VOLUNTEER PRESENTATION.—One of the first and most energetic supporters of the volunteer movement was Lieut.-Colonel King, for many months captain of the 2n4 Cheshire Corps, whose headquarters are at Claughtou, near Birkenhead. In connexion with his recent promotion, the members of the corps intend to present Colonel King, on Saturday next, with a handsome ,'peryne, manufactured by Mourc Elkingtoc and Co. CB ktn's 110ertTA I. RIFLE VOLI7 NTEERs. —A meeting was held last evening in the great hall of Christ's Hospital, to take into consideration the measures to be soplied for the extension of the volunteer movement in omuctioa with the above corps. Major-General White task Ike &air, and said the object of the meaiiag was to Wines members to enrol themselves. the corps had re ceived great support from the Duke of Cambridge and the governor of the school, and the facilities afforded were very great. They had the use of the butts at Beau fort. House, and also those at Caterhant. He hoped nothing would prevent many of them join ing, without distinction of age, rank, or title. Hs un Mr. Foster White, treasurer of M. Bartholomew's Hospital, who, in moving the first resolution, said that as boys they had stood shoulder to shoulder in the school, and it would be a most gratifying thing to see them so stand in the ranks in defence of their country. Mr. W. Gilpin, imaginer of Christ's Hospital, briefly seoonded, and am pressed his gratification at seeing the Old Blass meeting together for such a purpose. The resolution was then put and carried turaniniously—" That this meeting, fully recognising the expediency of the volunteer move ment, most cordially approves of and supports the Christ's Hospital Rifle Volunteers." Mr. Highton moved, and the Rev. Mr. Gurney seconded, the next resolution— " That this meeting urges all gentlemen who have been connected with the foundation of Christ's Hospital to enrol themselves at once as members of the Volunteer Corm" Thi- was carried, as sou also another to the effect that only gentlemen educated at and connected with the (Sty Foundation Schools, TU.. Charterhouse, Merchant Tar r ors', St. Paul's, City of London, and Mercers' Schools, be e Tay to join the movement already originated by Christ's foss pita. Captain Citrtwright, of the Christ's Hospital Volun teen, said that he desired to direct attention to the position in which his corps was at present placed. They had been by Lord Rail: u a division of the South s h=it Corps, and his Captain Cartwright's) object in rib* was to suggest that other public schools should form thenwelvcs into similar corps, when he knew they would be gladly accepted by the South MidUesex as a divisional corps, and go on until they were strong enough to form a brigade of their owe, and he might say that the expense of the uniform was 711. 3e. lid., which included all costs and charge. ; it was the contract price, and was ex• ceedingly servweable, warm, and comfortable. THI PZLV'U'Z .OOLLIIRT 111PLOSION IN sours WALES. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. RIBCA, WEDNESDAY Erman. After various delays, rendered necessary in con sequence of the difficulty in recovering the bodice of the un fortunate men who lee their lives by the fearful explosion which took place in the Black Vein Pit, belonging to the Rica Coal and Iron Company, on Saturday, the Ist of December last, Mr. W. H. Brewer, the deputy-coroner for the district, this morning resumed the inquiry with the view of bringing it to • conclusion. The jury assembled about twelve o'clock in the clubroom at the Albert Avon, but for want of room the proceedings were afterwards adjourned to the British School-room. Witnesses were ordered out of the room during the evidence. The total number of deaths has been 142, 139 of whisk occurred in the pit, and. three "above ground," from the effects of. injuries received by the explosion. The body et' one man only now remain, underground, and active measures are being adopted to recover it. The inquiry excited much interest in the neighbourhood, and award those present were Mr. Lionel Brough, _thel government inspector of mire for the district ; Mr. putts, the reneger of the Rica Coal sad bee Company ; Mr. tale n, his solicitor ; sad Mr. Owes, el Newport. who for the relatives and (erode of some of the d. Many of the workmen and friends of the de ceased were also present in the inquest-room. IA plan of the underground workings was laid on the table to facilitate the inquiry.) The first witness called was Charles Anderson Harrison, who said—l am general viewer of the whole of the Rises Colliery. On the Ist of December, • little after six o'clock in the morning, I de scended .No. 1 Black Vein Pit, and examined the " in-take air" with my lamp, and found • good air going. I then went through the double doors to the east side return and found the return air good. I then proceeded up the east rennet, to what we call the mountain side crossheadi% where the west return meets the east return and examined. I their proceeded up the return to the east pit, and found all was right. I returned back again down the west aide of the shaft, and came through the two serration doors on the west side to the pit. I then emend the pit to the east side, and there I met the over awe, Evan Beddow. I asked him how all was going on this morning, and he said " all is right." I then measured the air in the main " in-tske," sad then came out of the pit with my son. The quantity of air when I measured was 37,600 cubic feet per minute. After I came up the pit I went to breakfast, and then went to the Hock Vein Pit to examine the workings there,. and my son descended the Black Vein Pit ag ain. A man Lamed Coker came to me at the Rock Vein Pit, and told me that the sulphur had gone off in the Black Vein Pit, and I immediately came down to the Black Vein Pit, saying to Coker " I can't believe it." I tossed off my coat and trousers, got • lamp, and de wended the pit immediately, and went to the wen side separation dome, which I found all right. I then ran to the oast side separation doom, and found them all right. I then went to the top of the slope, where I met • man who told me that two men had gone into the first east. I then ' went to examine the separation doors at 'the first west, and having totted them all right went to the regulator, which I also food right. I then went down to the sec ond east, where I found my own son. He was alive. I lifted him up so that he could get fresh wind, and then I left him. 1 next found David Jenkins, three or four yards off, lead. Then I came upon Geom. Lewis and Lewis Thome, alive; and afterwards William Thomas, a " dukey" man, as be is called on the books. I went to the second week and found the two doors gone. 1 got the duel put up to throw the wind further down. As soon as that was dose, I directed some of the men to p In there, and I ian down to the third west over the mall fall, till I got up to tho big fall. I tried to get over but I could not, there being no room. I then went round and endea voured to get into the fourth east, but could not, bemire of another fall. I then came up the slope again to the second east, and went along there to try to get down the return to the fourth east, but could not, because of folk I came 7 b the dope once more, and sent throe men the old tto see about • roan and boy who were there. ey were both brought down, and f then down the slope again and related in getting the bodies out. When I went round the pit in the morning I found the air particularly good, cooing from each side in the returns. By . the Jury—The amount of air was sufficieet is my opini . on, We sometimes have .re air going, sod two or three months ago we had 42, ei feet going. Our venti lator would have to go about 64 strokes per minute to pro duce the amount of air that was in the pit on the morning of the explaion. By Mr. Brough—l produce the certified copy of rules and a map of the colliery. Our means of ventilation are by machinery. The diameter of each cylinder is 15 feet 6 inches, working on a 6 feet stroke. It will go 8 strokes per ini tiate, which should produce 48,868 cubic feet per minute. We generally get from 37,000 to 38,000 cubic feet of air per minute. That is a difference of 10,000 to 11,000 feet, and is caused by leakage in the ram of the machinery. I don't think any of the difference is caused by the " dreg" on the east side. Some weeks or months since never a man complained to me of danger and refused to go in. The faces of the levels, headings, and stalls were always bene ficed right up within 6 yards of the face. The men lit their lamps when blown out by ally chance at the dope. We had naked lights in the stops, accord ing to the special rules laid down by government. The rule that applies to this is number 42 in our book, and is sanctioned by the Secretary of State. There could not have been • supplementary furnace for ventilation in the Hill Pit, because that pit is nearly run together, and the air would have baffled the furnace. A furnace was suggested at the bottom of the present up-cast pit by myself when Mr. Dobson was our consulting viewer. We talked the matter over, but he decided in favour of the machine, as able to produce more wind. As Mr. Dobson had bad great experience in machine ventilation, I gave way to his recommendation, although I had never seen any machine ventilation myself. This machine ventilation was Mr. Dobson. proposal, not mine. I did not consider it eecereary to have more splits on the east side, because it would not be possible to put in crossway, by reason of the bad top sod "pricking" bottom. Crossings and air bridges could not have been put in. I did intend to shut np the east side workings, at the recommendation of Mr. Brough ; and the day on which the accident happened was the last they would have been worked. I fixed on that particular day, because we had other places to put the men who had been working there. The Black Veto Pit would not have been ventilated better by means of a furnace at the present pumping pit. We tried it many years ago, but we could not get a sufficient amount of ar. It only produced 10,000 feet of air. The diameter of the pumping pit is 9 feet. We bid two wood doors and • cloth door in the headings, and there were sheets between the double doors and the cross headings. We bad re frame doors in the stalls, which were opened by door-boys, one of whom went with each " haulyer." We did not depend upon self-dosing door —that was the rearm we had the boys there ; and by ride 25 every perms peeing through • door must shut it after him. The largest quantity of air I ever measured before the explosion was 42,000 feet ; but since the accident I have measured 43,000. Before the introduction of the ventilator we venti lated by a furnace at the bottom of the Hill Pit, and then we got from 15,000 to 18,000 feet. There has not been a single explosion, fatal or otherwise, except the present one, in the Black Vein Pit, during the four years and three months that I have been there. The size of the downcast pit is 16 feet by 10 feet, and the ventilating pit is the same size. 59 feet is the sectional area of the smallest ion of the stnpe, and the cross headings are 6 feet by 7 feet, the levels being the same, as are also the level winclways. The spout boles are 6 feet by 4 feet. lam the reeponsible ma. pager of the underground workings, hut I have to consult with the manner when there is anything particular to be done in the pit. (In the east eiders coal runs about Bft. Sin. thick, and on the west side it is about lift The air was good on Friday night, the 30th November. There is • night overman, whose duty it is to examine the workings and report to me, or to the day overman. Wm. Ilsrri h, and two other surviving firemen, can testily to the slate of the pit on the mores of Deoetnber 1. I do not doubt that • new pit, 280 yards deep, would be an im provement to the colliery, as it would enable us to get male in lager quantities and cheaper, and no doubt it would elm improve the ventilation. A " blower" in Sage's stall on the morning of the explo. soon was no doubt the cause of the accumulation of gas. I think the pit fired down between the third and fourth east. I have not found any lamps with the gauze off. There are thirty-three lamps to find vet. We have found four lamps unlocked, all good—not bulged or smashed. There is no doubt that the explosion was caused by an accident to a lamp, or by a naked light being ewes& We feted one lamp with a mandrel hole in it. The four unlocked Loge were not found at the suspected place of exploeion, but in the first east level. The one with the mandrel hole was found in No. 4 eroereading of No. 4 east level, near the body of Richard dimities. It was his owe lamp, as will be sworn to by the Impair. By the Jury—William Thomas found this lamp. A policeman was directed to fetch all the lampsfound since the explosion. By Mr. Brough-1 dos% think one man was burnt to death. I saw most of them as they were brought up. I should think all in the third and second west were killed by the falls, aed about 70 died (from after-damp. have tried for firedamp upon the "gob.," but have only die covered blackilamp. You had no suspicion of danger on the morning of the explosion I Witness—Not the slightest. I would just as soon have gone in the pit to sleep as in my own bed. Ido believe • " blower" would have occasioned the accumulation al pa I saw no occasion that morning to remove all the men, boys, sod hones out of the pit. We had enough ventilation thee morning for ordinary eurposes to satisfy the fint gral rale, and I believe had the lamps held good, th eean UN I VERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, Jam 9.

Venous &mum meats were provrded for the entertainment of the childree, not the Net important of which were the well executed performatices of the school band, which numbers about sixty members. It is gratifying to find that these schools, which are situated in the midst of a dense poor population, are reported by her Maleety's inspector, as giving a compre hensive education to the children who attend thorn, and that they offer ample proof that the intellectual capacity of the young who live at the east cud of London is not at all inferior to that of those inure favourably situated. At the annual examination in science and art, held by the govern ment inspector in connexion with the department at Ken sington, the boys' school carried off in all Sl prizes, • larger number then any other national school in London. if not in the kingdom. At the conclusion of the entertainment about 40 prime were distributed by the incumbent to the most deserving of the children. THE ACCIDENT AT AITLEY'S ASIPHITHEATILZ.— Wr. W.

By Mr. Evans, governmesv inspector for Glamorganahire (assusting Mr. Brough)—The air has to travel about three miles from the bottom of the downcast through the east district to the upcast. Three nulse is not a long dintanco for the air to travel ; many collien.•s have a cinch greater distance for the air to travel. Ti.•e distance would have nothing to do with the drag. 1 think it is better to venti late the Goldoni side of the Rises Collier/ by one current of air, as at present, than by dividing it. A division would diminish the amount of air. • Mr. Brush -I could not bear that blower, Mr. Harrison, and I was in the stall with you. It could not have been the cause of the explosion.

The following letter from Mr. John M'Adam, of Gamow, to his brother, is published in the North British. Mail. " ifsdalass, Jon. 3.. "On the 2Gth of December I left Genoa for Capron. All went well until the afternoon, when the wind shifted . . . and threatened a gale. We made for the ,Gulf of Spezzia, about 63 miles from Genoa, where we lay 44 hours, during which I bad simple time to see the general features of the country, which is hilly, producing good wines and olives. Some lead is anti ted ; but one important branch of trade is pursued by our townsmen, Mears.

The soil, however, where it has wit of Comics, and the lower, at equally hod together in distant spots, is fertile, and situated as it is in view of the snow clad hills y rocky, See -1 duds and smaller island., I cannot deluteeti the feeling of one who has, during an active life, lit . rem buffeted through the world, wishing to end his clays in di s retirement. " As the domestic matters of such a; man should be pri vate, no matter how publicly his public character should be considered, so ought one: to be careful i "Peeking of one so frank and unsuspecting in all his dean" '• " I found this truly great man stoma led by his own family, his brother, a frank, hardy sea oss sin, and a few friends, discussing freely the incidents of the times, on which cunninger, possibly not wiser, mss would have affected mystery. " I was welcomed by Garibaldi in a maw r which be comes a great man, and puts a plain man like I rv& elf at case. He did honour to the good men who had sent t ne on thin mission, when he placed me at every meal neat himself, and pointed out my bed as one of the two in his et en !min- I accepted this honour proudly and gratefully— pO in . the country of which Garibaldi could not speak tw ' often, . for the moral aid, even more than the =Aerial semi ‘ ta " Ce . which it bad rendered to Italy; and with gratitt de to my countrymen wbo had sent me with their SWAIM ice of their abiding interest in him and his country in the co. 'lling crisis. " Seeing that he was deeply engaged with his inane ave monthly receipt of letters, I left him with his two see re' twice, to take a quiet survey of his island home. And . si you are aware of the apprehension entertained in Britain 's to any sudden attack on him, I scrambled up the higher t dividing ridges to see whether facilities existed for his enemies from the opposite coast. The people here laugh ak the idea of any body of men being found daring enough tot, attack him in front, and by any other way it would take ✓ body of men hours to work their way, even in daylight. over the granite rocks, which, sea-worn and honercombeill . . to their very eununits, are evidently of volcanic origin. " During the da the general wan very much engaged, . . but towards evening he mixed with his friends, and Con versed freely ; and when by ourselves in his own room, feed ing the fire with roots—his only fuel—he spoke feelingly and warmly of the British people, and of the stand made by Lord John Russell in favour of Italy. " Misr sapper mars writing, then to bed, where for hours he sat dictating to his two secretaries. I dropt over to sleep, and when I awakened all was quiet ; but some hours before day he was at work with them again, and so continued until two hours after daybreak. I mention this mainly to ex* plain how much he has to do, and to excuse him for any disappointment to his correepondents. "Being anxious to scrape acquaintance with Rio Nona, and to redeem a promise I had made to a friend, I found the celebrated little gentleman scratching his loag ears ; but when I looked at his other end I could got fiud it in my heart to extract a single hair. Poor little fellow, he is but a small donkey for so world-wide a name ; and Tam O'Shanter'a mare Meg brought her rider safely over the Brig o'Doon with as much of a tan to swear by. His, or rather her brother sae was not there ; possibly. as the English in Naples have named him Lord Robert Montagu, he may have gone to England on a visit to his name-father, to obtain the usual candle cup given at christenings. " Senora Teresa, the general's daughter, is a very pleasant and unaffected young lady, but she speaks no English, nei ther does her brother Mennoti ; he is taller than his father. has very much the look of a fine young sailor in his red shirt, and bronze, not dark complexion ; he bids fair to be a very strong man, is now twenty years of age, and you are aware has already distinguished himself in the late cam paigns. Nothing pleased sae more than his modesty and self possession in the various circumstances which I saw hint placed in among his father's friends, both at home and else where. When I left the general he bade me assure my friends that he trusted in better times to come among them and thank them for what they had done for his country and to thank Joseph Cowen and the men of Newcastle for his sword and the telescope, which he has used through ell his battles. I will reserve hie remarks on the present cir cumstances of Europe for the consideration of the com mittee for whom I am acting ; suffice it for the public that he is anxious, but hopefuL And it is to be hoped that the British friends of the great roan, who must twist him in the coming struggle, will forego little differences of opinion, and tight shoulder to shoulder, for all will be needed im the coming death struggle of European despotimi. When I get lack I may recur to many things, of which I am un willing to speak until I can consult with the London and Glasgow committees. " At Msdalena I received an invitation to dine with one of our English Alexander Selkirk., who turn up on many of the islands of the Mediterranean. Captain Roberta is a ' retired naval officer, and is, iu fact, the great support of the little community. When a young man be must have been a lively one, for even now, in old age and had health, he is a brisk old tar and, better still, he is a great friend of Garibaldi and Italian freedom.

The annual meeting of the members of this so ciety was held yesterday, at the allies, Trafalgar-square ; Mr. BIXJABEN BOND CiBBELL in the chair. In the COWS" of the proceedings it was mentioned that the annual sub scriptions were not sufficient to pay the icemen's wages for one moo* of frosty weather, so that were it nee for the bounty of a postage, the society would have to come to • standstill for want of funds, and that the last anniversary festival, instead of increasing the finances of the institutioo, involved • loss of more than 801. The following are the facts stated in the report :—The total number of cases of drowning brought under the notice of the society during the past year was 156, in which 187 persons were con cerned. Of these 137 were successfully treated by the medical officers of the society, while 15 proved beyond recovery ; 27 were eases of attempted suicide, and in 22 cases the pliant rescuers were rewarded by the society. Therneral court panted 24 silver medals, 65 browse 1., 14 testimonials on vellum, 16 testimonials on parch ment, end 72 pecuniary rewards during the mat year. The number of bathers in the Serpentine last summer was 68,792, and the nwnber of csanelties27, including 5 attempts at suicide, 2of which proved fatal. Up to Tuesday night 112 persona had been rescued from drowning in the parks during the present frost, the number of skaters having been 3fi6,850.

Mr. Raker having been elected treasurer in the room of the late Mr. B. Hawes, the proceediop were closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.— Another ex• traonlinary spectacle took place last night upon the Serpen tine River in Hyde-park. The hedge that separates Kensingtomerdens from Hyde-park was crowded to incon venience during the day, as well as the bridge leading to the Alberxgate ; but towards Bor 9 o'clock at night another great torch-light skating match and pyrotechnic display commenced, which was carried on with full vigour for mazy hours. The persons upon the ice were not content with amusing themselves with fireworks and torchlight skating. but several skittle-tents were pitched , and the game of "Ninepins" played. A great number of other tents and marquees of venous sizes were again placed on the ice for the sale of hot and cold provisions, and there were also peep shows, coffee-booths, Punch and Judy shows, and a large number of places for refreshments. It is proposed to have on Monday next a grand fairon the Serpentine, and should the present severe weather continue it is expected to be on an extensive scale. Up to a late hour last night no fatal accident had occurred, although several persons had been severely injured by being tripped up by the skaters. The thermometer in this park during Tuesday night was as low as 18 deg. ; at 9 s.m.„ yesterday, the mer cury only rose to 21 deg., being 11 deg. below freezing point. At noon the quicksilver bad risen to 31, but even then there was 1 degree of frost. At 7 o'clock last night the glass was 27 deg., being 3 deg. below freezing point. The ,voimeter war yesterday 30 deg. 34 nun. ' and the wind was ; the weather was described as being foggy is the morning, but during the middle of the day fine. The other parks were visited by large numbers of people, but nothing worthy of record occurred during the day. CLARE MARKET Cow:4NA ne.—A row of small houses situate at the back of Clare-market, and known as the Colonnade, has beenrecently approprietedto various uses of a philanthropic and beneficial character, comprising a home for destitute boys, who are employed in various situations during the day, and who return at night to the refuge to sleep. There is also a soup kitchen, a school for adults, a working-men's club-room and smoking-mom, and a reading and working mom for women. Another portion of the building has now been fitted up for the reception of poor needlewomen, who, by the payment of a trifling weekly sum, will obtain the advantages of a comfortable home, and be preserved from the temptations and danger to which poor friendless women are exposed. The institution was opened on Monday evening, and although the number of inmates will at first necessarily be limited, yet it hoped that its benefits will before long be extended to a large number. bliterircrtoe IN Livanroot.—ln consequence of the long-continued frost a great number of men, especially those connected with the building trades and employed at the new dock works at Liverpool and Birkenhead have been thrown out of employment, and considerable destitution prevails amongst them. Soup kitchens have been opened In Liverpool and Birkeuhead, and a great number of the poor have availed themselves of this seasonable relief. Strenuous (martian are being made also by the various local charities to alleviate this distress. Sonic apprehension existed yesterday at the north mid of the town as to the renewal of the food riots which took place a few years ago with such *dui results. Yesterday a great number of shops were closed, and crowds of idle men were congregated at the north end, but no actual disturbance took place. DurraDo4lv Norrinc Am.—The operative lace makers and framework knitters in Nottingham are suffer- Mg great distress. Both the staple trades of the town are exceedingly depressed, there not having been such a dearth of employment fora number of years past. At the weekly meeting of the board of guardians, oa Tuesday, the vice• chairman (Mr. Turner) stated that the number of in-door poor exceeded by 415 those in the house at the correspond ing period last yew, whilst the out-door recipientsamounted to 2,011 more than last year.
