Of this number 18,175 sailed from England (three- Soarers of there from Liverpool), 16,168 from Ireland, 6,446 from Scotland, 6,709 from Norway, 6,688 from Germany, sad 887 from New &semi& ; hat the emisrearion from Liverpool included 4 269 Irish, 727 Scotch, 4,163 Germans, 1 Norwegians and Swedes, and 58 Americans. Besides these 296 Germans sailed from Hull and 255 from Dublin. The average length of the voyage by British sailing vessels was 47 days, by continental vessels 68 days, and by steamers from liiverp ol 16 dep. Three vessels were lost but no Wee.

The prin cipal singers were Madame Clara Novello, Miss Dolby, Mr. sad Mrs. Lnekey, Mr. and Madame Weiss, Mr. Benson, St ' Mr. Lawler, and Signor Belletti. The orchestra and chores to were those of the Sacred Harmonic Society, amounting to til 700 performers; and Mr. Costa was the conductor. se. The annual performance of The Messiah has for more se than a hundred years been one of the regular worm of ry the income of this old and most valuable society. Those ft performances were at one time given under the personal %. direction of Handel himself, who was one of the founders of et. the society, and one of its most zealous members and fwS greatest benefactors. For many years they took place at let the Hanover-square Rooms, in connexion with the Concert LI of Ancient Music, but since that establishment has ceased to exist the Royal Society of Musicians have transferred their 'nasal concert to Ezeer. hall, and have thus been enabled to increase the grandeur of its scale, end also to make it taros productive. Oa the occasion of the anniver- IS eery festival of the society, a few weeks aga, we described its objaets, and pointed out the great *mown of good which it effects by the remarkably judicious and economical admi ty - nistration of its funds; in which respect it dtserves to be u held up as an example to other institutions of a similar K kind. el. DRAMA. HAYMARKET. Last night, Mina Cushman re-appeared in her favourite character of Romeo, which is deservedly esteemed 10 the most succeasfal of her efforts. It is ao well known, and s at hes been so often described, that any farther account or cri- et, deism would be entirely superfluous. It is sntficient to Icy SO that she performed it with her usual excellence, and received the LitMl mud of applause. There is no doubt that blies le Cashman is the best Romeo on the stage—indeed, we may say the only Romeo, for nobody but herself seems ever to ), attempt it. It is probably the most difficult of Shaker sire's so characters ; a creation of such extreme delicacy auil.beauty, that to realise it is neat to impossible. Male actors always 10 fail to do so; a stalwart, black-bearded gentleman can never give an idea of the romantic, impassioned Italian bay formed by the poet's fancy. The only satisfactory personation of se. Romeo that we have ever seen have been by women— L t... Madame Pasta on the Italian stage, and Mira Cushman on gi our own. :1 Miss 8 wanbeirough, who was the Joliet, is a very promis- le ieg young actress. She is uncommonly handsome—sitti a as. light flexible, graceful figure, and fine ezpressive features. et. lu short, she looked Juliet to the life. but her voice is very defective, both in power and melody ;it doss not bring o. t 3 the made of Shakspeare's delicious verse. She has, boo- is ever, iatelligeace and feu IMg, and her voice and elocution s t . may be improved by judicious practice. We doubt whether her powers will ever reach the height of tragedy ; but uea It. elegant comedian there can be no doubt of her success. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The court mateceed him to be dismissed the ship, but In consideration of his long services to be only dismissed from the same ship, and to lose four years' nab and time as a naval instructor in her Majesty's service. The Hawke, 60, screw steam-ship, Captain Ocomanney, arrived at Spithead at noon to-day, from Sheerness, to fill up her complement of men prier to sailing for the Baltic.

The•ex changes were firm, and the rate on London was quoted 1 'chilling higher, bills being wanted at ' 13.41. The grain market was quiet. The receipts of the Brighton Railway Company last week were 14,343/., being 481. less than in the corresponding week of lut year, which latter was Easter week. The markets for Russian produce are looking op, owing to the news from Vienna. Hemp is dearer. Relative to the tallow market, Messrs. Smith and Charles observe, under date this evening : The tallow market was steady on Saturday at the quota tions omtained in our circular of the night before. Today the news from Vienna has caused a considerable advance, prices being—Y.C. on the spo , , new, 635. to 635. 6d. ; old, 625. ; May, 63s 6d. ; June, 61s.

We antici pate, in the course of the week, a general demand from this quarter, as they nave been holding back, determined to wait the deciii in of peace or war. The holders are reluctant to sell, as it is known that the gords at Kovno have been seriously damaged and an actual loss of property occasioned by an inundation that his occurred ; and this reluctance is still further increased by the uncert ainty as to how long the overland trade will be permitted to continue. Land and bark shores exhibited no variation to day. Royal Mail Steam again rose 11. Crystal Palace shares were weaker, closing at 3: to 31, but the preference shares maintain 1 to: prem. East and West India Dock stock has been dealt in at 119 i ; London Duck at 991; St. Katharine Dock at 80; General Screw Steam at 151 to 154 ; and Peninsular and Oriental at 811. The annexed weekly report on the freight market is furnished by Messrs. Offur and Gammen : There is sonsiderable demand for tonnare fur the Black Sea—for supplies to the army ; but with this exception the freight market is very quiet, and in an unsatisfaetory state. The war presets heavily ou trade, and tee shipping interest is among the first to suffer.

The home mining stook market to-day has been very quiet, and scarcely any sales are reported. The gold mining abates remain dull, with very few transactions. _ _ _ _ In other stocks the only movement was a rise of 11. in Coke copper shares. We are informed that the official advioes which the Anglo-Californian Gold Mining Company ought to have received by the mail to-day have miscarried. A private letter, however, from the agent in Cali fornia to the ch airman, has come to hand. This con tains no details ; but it appears that during the first 24 hours' continuous workings, the machinery re duced 32 tons of ore, which produced 1,000 claims' worth of gold. TILLS DAY.—Two o'CLocx. The gold mining shares remain without change. Gold, Great Nugget Vein and Agog Fria shares are severally quoted 1 to 1; and Nouveau Maude, to {—all per share.

Yesterday a numerous meeting of delegates of the United Towns Association of Licensed Victuallers wig held . at Printer's Hotel, 21, Bridge-street, Westminster. Mr. STINSON, of Birmingham, Chairman of the Central Com mittee, occupied the chair. The following places were represented:—Birmingham, J. Btinton, chairman; T. Harrison, secretary United Towns Association; J. Wal ton, J. Wadhsm, Protection Society. Bolton—Joeoph Cork, Thomas Teal. Bristol--Mr. Wedge. Bradford—M. Baster, president; Messrs. J. Whitehead and Strong. Hull —Thomas Oreaeley, Mr. Lewis. Leicester-8. CI , Mr. Waldram. London—Clarke, Findley, Long. Melton Mowbray—Mr. Allen. Natiogham—Joseph Cupper, John Bowler. Oldham—G. Clegg. Sheffield—J. Chamberlain. G. Skinner. York—Mr. Smith, chairman ; Mr. Scholefield. Messrs Foster, Harris, and Simes attended as a deputation from the Metropolitan and Provincial Licensed Victuallen' Mutual Association. The Citatuware read the circular coniening the meeting, and stated that its object wee to unite the trade to petition at once in favour of a repeal of the present obnoxious Sun day Beer Act. A letter was also read from the Leeds As sociation, offering to co-operate in any effort for a total re • peal of the Sunday Closing Act. The SZCSITAIIT (Mr. Harrison) read letters from Stock port, the Metropolitan and Provincial lammed Victuallers' Mutual Association, and several others, in favour of the movement. He alto read a voluminous correspondence on the subject of t e Sunday Aot, from which it appeared that the feeling of the u ade generally was strongly in favour of a total repeal of the Sunday Act. Sir J. Paxton had inti mated his willingness to second the motion for the repeal of the obnoxious act—not, he said, for the asks of the licensed victualler'', but because he was convinced that it was a hardship upon the public. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bowhxx moved " that this meeting make the netts airy arrangements to get the petitions signed against the Sunday Trading Bill forthwith, presented to parliament by their representatives, and urge them to support the same." Mr. WADHAM, of the Birmingham Protection Society, seconded the resolution. He f.lt that if a select committee were appointed it would prove fatal to the best interests of the trade. Mr. HONER said tint he was only de irons of repellinf the charge made against the Preto:Um: Society as to having eompromised the matter with Mr. Wilson Patten. He denied ast they had committed any error of judgment. He and his colleagues were opposed to attempting en entire repeal of the act, and therefore they felt that they could best apply for an 'Mention of hours. He denied that the compromise which had been entered into showed any weak nets or want of principle. He had ever felt that the more public the proceedings upon this subject were made, the less chacce there would be of getting this act repealed. (Hear, hear.) In the event of a committee of inquiry being appointed, all evidence would have to coma through the licensed victuallers themselves. What was the effect upon the committee upon throwing open the trade ? That although the evidence was decidedly opposed to throwing open the trade—the report of the committee was in direct opposition. (Hear, hear.) He condemned the bill ; it was a serious toes to many in the trade, and a hardship upon the public; but, after what had been done, be did feel that it would be injudicious to move in it. (Hear, hear.) The London trades associations were ready at any moment to meet any attempt to throw open the trade, and he regretted that the provinces were not equally united. Mr. Foama suggested the propriety of continually Pouring in petitions instead of sendiag in monster petitions. It must be shown 0:4 this is a puhiic question. Mr. Coax (of Bolton) stated that they had a petition signed by 7,000 against the act. After some further discussioo, the resolution wit put and catriod unanimou ly. Mr. BOWLEY then moved thet "this meeting does not consider that any advantage can arise from a select com mittee on the Sunday Clotting Act, as the same has so re cently passed, but this meeting thinks it so great an inno vationupon the rights end liberties of Englishmen that it ought never to have passed into law, end that the sooner it is repealed the better." Mr. 'Ontr.szt.sr, of Hull, seconded the motion.
