THE favourable change in the weather has given the anticipated stimulus to some branches of inter nal trade. The general condition of business appears to be healthy ; and should the result of the harvest be favourable, we may hope for a satidactory amount of activity up to the end of the year. At Manchester, however, the state of business is less prosperous than could be desired. Comparatively few trans actions have taken place during the last week in cotton fabrics, except as regards the home trade, in which the tine weather seems to have caused a partial revival. In addition to the check which has been given to the de mand for goods for India by the discouraging character of the accounts from that country, caution has been induced by the failure of a Man chester house in the Indian trade. There is also a prospect of trade with the Levant being checked by the troubles in Syria. In the woollen districts a moderate amount of business has been done ; the manufacturers in moat places are fairly employed ; and the prospects of the trade are regarded with cheerfulness. At Nottingham and Leicester the setting-in of summer weather has been hailed with great satisfaction, and has already caused an augmentation in the home demand for goods of several descriptions. In the former district, the employment in the hosiery and lace trades has latterly been only partial. At Coventry there has been a great turnout of silk weavers. The ribbon manufacturers, ostensibly under the pressure of foreign competition, having insisted upon some modifications of the arrangements hitherto subsist ing with regard to wages, thirteen thousand opera tives are stated to have "struck." A good deal of local distress consequently prevails. From the Staffordshire iron districts, it is re ported that the works for producing manufactured iron in nearly all quarters are in full operation. The various manufacturing trades at Wolverhamp ton are described as rather more active than of late ; and, although there is no aur• plus of orders, the workpeople are kept on at "full time." The tin plate workers at Wolverhampton and Birmingham are busy ; but at “loucester, at the quarterly meeting of manu facturers in this branch, it was resolved to reduce the " make." These details are satisfactory, con sidering the dulness of the export trade to Austra lia and the East Indies, two of the most important foreign markets. At Birmingham a reduction of about 2a. 6d. per ton has lately taken place in the price of pig iron. In the flax districts there is some excitement in connexion with the rise in the price of the raw material in Russia and elsewhere. The imports of tax into the Sixitch ports for the last six months show a decided decrease. In a return to an order of the House of Lords, dated 10th May last, showing the total gross amount of property assessed in the United King dom under the Property and Income Tax Acts, in each year, commencing with the year ending sth April, 1843, up to the present time, some figures are given which are worthy of attention, as bear ing upon the taxable capacity of the country. The return includes the present financial year, ending 31st March, 1861, so far as prac.icable, estimated amounts being inserted where the actual amounts cannot be ascertained. For 1843, the gross amount of property assessed was 251,013,0031. ; and foe 1853, 282,370,4141. ; for 1881 the amount is 328,700,0001. The net amounts of property assessed for the three periods cited were, respectively, 204,459,5581., 212,347,1371., and 294,200,0001. The amount of duty charged is a point which appeals with especial force to the attention of the income-tax-paying classes. The figures stand as follows: Year t wo, Assaut of kate .4 duty us so A pr a thay chersell.

This is principally owing to the great increase that has taken pl an in the amount of property amassed, but is lik e . partly due to the increase in the rate of duty, which in 1843 was 7d. in the pound upon in comes of 1501. a year and upwards, and is now likl. in the pound on that class of incomes, and 71. on incomes between 100?. and 1501. In 1843, lIP THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY pi, MIOD. the 7d. in the pound showed a gross apparent re turn of 5,608,5481., being much less than a million sterling a year for every penny of income taxation ; but now that the possessors of incomes between 1001. and 1501. are made to contribute * certain proportion, more than a million flows into the Exchequer for every penny charged. For example, in 1857, when the tax upon the larger incomes was sixteen pence in the pound (but 110. upon the smaller), the gross amount of duty levied was nearly seventeen millions; and for 1861 ten pence in the pound (but 7d. upon the smaller in comes) is estimated to yield eleven and a quarter millions. For the present financial year, although we are upon good terms with all our neighbours, we are to pay in income tax only 5,715,0001., or say one-third, less than in 1857, the most produc tive year of all, when 16,915,3321. was wrung from us in order to rectify the disturbance caused in the public finances by the Russian war. And now the charges of the China war are looming portentously large in the future, sug gesting, in addition to a heavy total of taxation, a public loan. There is thus need that every fetter be stricken from the limbs of industry, if it is to be subjected permanently to burdens of this magnitude, as appears to be only too likely. 7 The shareholders of the Union Bank of London have held their annual meeting this week, and have placed on record their satisfaction with the conduct of their directors and officers under the circumstances connected with the investigation into the great frauds. Bye-gorses are to be bye-goner ; the board and manager are to receive a new lease of the proprietors' con fidence ; and the Union Bank is to start afresh, with its credit improved by the sifting which its affairs have undergone, and by the efficacious system of checks which the world are assured has been established. There will, of course, be plenty of minor bickering!'; but now that the admi nistration of the bank has made it. peace with the proprietary, it is generally expected that the matter will pass away from notice, assum ing that the legal view is correct upon which the directors have based their plan for dealing with the deficit of POLLING/at% creation. The shareholders, as a body, declare that they are content with the position of the bank, under the circumstances ; that they can confide in the results of the investigation already made, and that they do not see the necessity of any additional formal inquiry. Their view is, doubtless, a purely com mercial one. They argue that the sooner the matter is allowed to drop the better, so far as their property is concerned. The accuracy of this view is denoted by the rise which took place in the price of the shares as soon as it transpired that there was to bo no further inves tigation. It is easy to declaim against narrow principles of action, but all expe rience shows that with shareholders the market value of their property is a consideration of para mount interest. Had there been indications of a serious decline of public confidence in the bank, it would have become necessary, as in previous in stances, to infuse new blood into the direction, and to turn the whole system of the bank " inside " out " for the inspection of the world. But in the present case there is no apparent necessity for measures of this trenchant character, the public having rallied round the bank, and having actually trusted it with nearly half a mil lion more on the 30th of June than on the 31st of December last. The price of the shares is leas than 4/. lower than it was prio • to the date of the discovery of the frauds ; and as 41., multiplied by sixty thousand, the number of shares in the bank, gives a total rather less than the amount of which it has been robbed, the share holders have the more inducement to regard the whole matter as merely one of pounds, shillings, and pence, and to reconcile themselves to their loss as one of the risks attaching to a business which, upon the whole, has paid them uncommonly well. We are not saying that this is the best mode of treating the matter in the sense of the real in terests of the public. We are simply attempting to explain what some people could not understand —why the Union Bank shareholders received the report of their directors so calmly, and adopted it almost with acclamatioo. trbt cam • • MOWS, Jura The Earl of Clarendon and Lady Constance ViMists arrived yastiortity ou a visit to her Majesty.

LATEST INTELLIGENOIII SICILY. EXPULSION OF M. LA FARINA FROM PALERMO. TWO MORE STEAMERS GONE OVER TO GARIBALDI. PALERMO (via Itmumittes), JULY 10. The official journal publishes the following note : " On Saturday Signori La Farina, Griselli, and Totti were removed from Palermo by order of the Dictator. " Griselli and Totti are Corsicans affiliated to the police of the Continent. The three were ex pelled for having conspired against order. "The government which watches over public tranquillity could not tolerate the presence of such individuals." Another note says : "The National Society, whose resources have been reduced since Garibaldi declined the presi dency, has been rather a hindrance than an assist ance to the Sicilian cause." PALERMO, Jocr 12. The two veasehi which have panted over to Gari baldi are mercantile st43amera. Laioggia, Laporte, and Orsini remain in the ministry. The state of things in Sicily inspires confidence. The Opinion Nationale gives the following version of the causes which led to the expulsion of M. La Farinafrom Sicily. bi La Farina bad full powers from the ,Sardinian government to assume the title of Royal Commissary as soon as the annexation to Sardinia was declared. Garibaldi, while advocating the annexation, thinks it advisable that his own dictatorship should continue until the whole island is subdued. Finding that the presence of La Farina was detrimental to the cause, he ordered him off. A letter from Turin, dated the 13th of July, , says : I have collected the following details respecting the ex radon of N. La Farina from Palermo. The order of expiation came from General Garibaldi himself. It was presented to the President of the National Committee (IL 1* Farina) about half-past 11 at night, on the 7th. The Sicilian government was not apprised of the step. Y. La Farina was only allowed half an hour to make his prepara tions for departure. He asked for a boat from Admiral Penano, who commands the Sardinian squadron, and pro ceeded on board the Admiral's ship. He was accompanied by the chief of the police of Palermo, and by an officer of high rank, who commanded the detachment that surrounded his house. K. La Farina, on his arrival here, immediately waited upon Count Cavour. FIGHTING NEAR MESSINA. PALERMO (via ILtaemisa), Jinx 9. Sanguinary combats have taken place near Mes sina between the Neapolitan Colonel Bosco and the advanced guard of the Sicilian army. General Coseuz has brought 1,000,000 lire and 57 cannons to Garibaldi. Admiral Mundy has left for Naples. There are scarcely any but Sardinian vessels in the roads of Palermo. Garibaldi has ordered the assassin of Colonel Puglisi to be arrested. NAPLES. FORMATION OF A NEW MINISTRY. (BT BUBMAJUITZ TELEGRAPH.) (FEW OUR ORM 00ERESPONDICIT.) NAPLES, SATURDAY. It is said that a strong and compact Ministry will be immediately formed, to carry out to their full extent the principles of constitutional govern ment, and to watch over the interests of the nation. MARSEILLES, JULY 15. lAgreocs, a Neapolitan minister, has arrived here and left for Paris. The day before yesterday the kingdom of Naples was tranquil. THE PAPAL STATES. RO3IF, JULY 13. A secret consistory was held this morning, in which it is stated that the Pope pronounced an allocution against the evil attempts, the violence, the arrests, and condemnations to which the priests were subjected in the Romagna and the Duchies. ROME (vm MAabouLLts), JULY 10. No other disturbances have taken place in the Umbrian Marches but at Todi, where the Sardinian escutcheon had been erected and tri-coloured flak; hoisted. A detachment of pontifical troops arrived there, and imposed a fine on the commune, to be, how ever, reimbursed by the rioters. Cardinal Wiseman's illness has become more serious. ...':.y preduea wonderfully little effect although there was a rumour that the liberal Neapolitan minis 19x haer . resigned, and $ general feeling was pre valent that next week bill not peas over without momentous events in Italy.

Southern and Western rose 3.75 each, and Northern and Orleans 1.25 each. Lyons fell 1.25, and Eastern was without change. As has been the case all the week the amount of business done was very small. THE LATE MR. ROBERT BROUGH. It is greatly to be regretted that Mr. Robert Brough— whose demise we so recently recorded—should have died without making adequate provision for the widow and infant children who are left behind; but it is not greatly to be wondered at. Perverse Multhuaiana any be indignant at a poor author for allowing himself such luxuries ; and even leas hardlyslisposed men may, with shoulder-shrugs, express their astonishment that by life assurance or other means some provision wan not made. For the fint•meationed we have no reply, save that had it nut been for bin domestic ties and relations, from which sprung the best and most poetic of his thoughts, the world would have lacked much sweet minstrelsy which it now possesses. But to the latter clans, we would say that Mr. Brough, though a constantly ioduatrimui and ever hart-working man, was not one who earned comparatively large sums of money : his constitution was of the feeblest ; and when under the influence of a fit of mental depression, caused by bodily illness, he found it impossible to drag himself to the "desk's dull wood," and mmsequently, as his health was in no way to be relied on, he Net many chances of profitable employment. His constitution was so feeble as to preclude any chance of his being reoeived at an insurance office save at ruinous rates, and hence Ins inability to make this provision. At ibis time of distreas hip friends who often have fought side by side with him in the pest battle of life have come forward. A grand vocal and instmmental concert is announced to take place oa Friday next, at St. Janice's-hall, the receipts from which are to be applied to the benefit of his widow and family. Among the artists who will contribute to the attractions of the concert are Madame Catherine Hayes, Madame Euderssohn, Mdlle. Parepa, Miss Poole, Madame filidaton-Dolby, Min Banks, Miss Theresa Jefferys, Mile Palmer, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, M. fieinton, Mr. G. Collins, Mr. B. Pratten, Mr. Lazarus, Mr. Hughes, and Kr. Harper. A full and efficient orchestra, conducted by Mr. Alfred Mellon, will give completeness to the ammgements. A dramatic performance is also announced, of which due notice will be given. DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM HORNE. —We regret to announce the death of Sir William Horne, which took place en Friday at his residence is Upper klarley-street. He wee called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn in 17904, and was appointed • King's Counsel in 1818. He was Solicitor-Genets' from 18.30 to 1832, and Attorney-General from 1832 to 1834. He resigned the last-named office on being offered the place of a Pidgin Baron of the Exchequer, but almost immediately afterward. declined to accept the appointment. His previous appointment had in the mean. time been filled up. Ho was eventually appointed, in 1839, one of the Masters in Chancery. sod retired from it in 18;i3.

(nom OCR OW ( CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY Ei'ENDIG. The Moniteur publishes the comparative tables of the indirect taxes for the first six months of the year. There is • diminution of 18,451,000 fr. as compared with 1858, and of 11,997,000 fr. as com pared with 1859. News from Sicily is looked for with intense in terest. The government journals dwell with com placency upon the alleged fact that the sudden banishment of M. La Farina by Garibaldi is evi dence of a complete rupture between the dictator of Sicily and Count Cavour. It is stated that La Farina had a commission, military as well as civil, by virtue of which he might have superseded Garibaldi altogether. There must have been some grave cause for the very prompt action of such a gentle and tolerant man as Garibaldi is. The offensive way in which M. La Farina's name is coupled in the Palermo GaseUe with two police agents is particularly remarked. The news that at least two Neapolitan ships of war hare gone over to Garibaldi is confirmed. PARIS. SATINIDAT EVENING. At the Bourse the important news that Garibaldi had arrested awl bauhthed X. La Farina, which measure was understood to imply a complete split between the dictator of Sicily and Count Cap our, SYRIA. RISING OF THE MOSLEM POPULATION OF BEYROUT. (now ova owx coaararcennarr.) BEYRO duns 28. My last letter was dated Saturd ay, the 23rd instant, on which and the following day the Moslem population of this town threatened to rise and massacre the whole Christian population, whether European or native. This fanatic excitement was caused, as I then informed you, by the murder of a Moslem by a Christian, on the early morning of Saturday. Anything like the excitement that day in Beyrout I never saw, not even in Affgbanistan, where I was present during the Moslem outbreaks of 1840, both at Candahar and Gabel. Although there were present in the roadstead an English line-of-bat tle ship, a large Russian and a larger French frigate, besides two smaller English and three smaller French men of war, the Moslems seemed deter mined to run a muck, and to shed all the Christian blood they could. The French Consul-General bad a sword drawn on him at the very gate of the Seralio, or government house, on Saturday, as Oil the first alarm he hurried off to confer with the Turkish Governor for the safety of the place. An English gentleman, riding down to the town some hours later, bad a pistol snapped at him ; and on Sunday, au English naval officer in uniform had a pistol presented at his bead. Fortunately, the Turkish troops which had just arrived from Con stantinople were commanded by a man of energy, General Kmety, a Hungarian of Kars reputation. More fortunately still we had an energetic man, the English Consul-General, here, and he was well and ably backed by Captain Paynter, of her Ma jesty's ship Exmouth. The native hristians put DO faith whatever in the Turkish troops, for the experience of the last thirty days has shown them how both Ottoman soldiers and their leaders will on all possible occasions betray and murder the Christians they are called on to protect, However, Kmety'a being a Christian produced considerable confidence in the town ; and as the murderer of the Moslem was caught, condemned, and executed by sunset, the Moslems were in a great measure calmed down by Saturday evening. All that night, however, and all the next day and night, we were living on a volcano, which might at any moment break out. The panic was fearfuL All the native Christians of the place either slept in the various houses of the European residents (under the impression that they would be safer there than in their own places of residence), or else on board boats and vessels in the harbour. The local government was powerless, and although it had more than 2,500 regular troops at its command, and could at any moment have had 1,300 Europeans landed from the ships of war, it allowed itself to be dictated to the whole of Saturday by a fanatic Moslem mob of not more than 400 persons. On Sunday, as on the preceding day, whenever a native Christian appeared armed, gun, sword, and every weapon he had were aken from him by the Turkish police; but not only were the Moslems permitted to go about in armed bands, but they did so shouting out that the time had now come to murder every dog of a Christian. On both Sunday and Monday, large bands of armed Brumes, fresh from the massacre of whole Christian villages in Lebanon, came into the town, and were everywhere feted by the Moslems. Any Druse who could show a gun that had killed a Christian had the weapon ornamented with flowers by the Moslems of Beyront. All this while the Turkish authorities looked on and did nothing. In the meantime her Britannic Majesty's ships Gannet and Mohawk were busy running up and down to , Sidon and to the Damoor river, bringing away women, children, and a few men, who had escaped from the butchery of the Druses in various vil lages. These two vessels saved no less than 2,200 poor creatures from starvation and worse than death, on Saturday the 23rd, Sunday the 24th, Monday the 25th, and Tuesday the 2Gth instant. L From the gallant Commanders Lambert and West to the youngest boy on board these ships , the utmost kindness and humanity were shown these poor unfortunate creatures. But although a large Turkish line-of-battle ship was here on the two first and at Sidon on the two latter days, not a boat did she send, not an offer did she make to save a single soul, nor have the Turkish authorities in any way whatever helped the hundreds of poor wounded and starving Chris tians that have been brought here. Ou the con trary, when the Mohawk was landing her cargo of theme unfortunate creatures ou Saturday, the acting governor of the town had the impertinence to re quest they might not be landed in Beyrout, for fear of exciting the Moslems ; just as a bleeding sheep must not be shown to a tiger ! This Captain Poynter positively refused, and threatened to land them under fire of the Exmouth's guns. If any one doubts the truth of all I have stated regarding the blood-thirsty murder of thousands of Christians by the Druses, and of the pumper in which the latter have been on all occasions helped by the Turkish authorities, let some member of either house call for copies of the British Consul-General's despatches to the Foreign-office, and those of the senor naval officer here to the aLmiral at Malta. lam quite sure that if any difference is found between my account of these misdeeds and those furnialied by English officers, the former will be found the milder of the two. In the meantime a number of native Christians of Beyrout, who can do so, have turned their merchan dise and jewels into money, and are taking passages to Alexandria, Malta, and Corfu, or any plate where they think their lives will be safe, which they certainly are not under the Turkish govern ment. The screw steamers Arcadia and Tiber, from Liverpool, arrived here two days ago, but the consignees of the goods have landed only a very small portion of them, preferring to send them back to be stored at Malta, until the five powers of Europe do something towards settling thin unfortunate province. Manchester alone must be a severe sufferer by these iniquitous acts of the local government, for the trade of the place is now at a stand-still. The poor wounded women and children from Deir el Kamer are on board the Exmouth, whore the captain, officers, and doctor have afforded them every assistance. The details of the fearful slaughter which took place at the last-mentioned town on the 18th inst. have reached me, but I have not time to give them to-day. All precautions have been taken for the safety of the English inhabitants by Captain Paynter. The boats of nls ship lie off the lauding place all night, and on blue lights being burnt from the Consul- General's house, under certain contingencies, the marines and men will be permitted to land. But there can be no doubt that in Syria we are on the eve of great events ; and a small frigate or two, with one or more gunboats, should be sent here, else it will be utterly impossible to save the Christians who may By for shelter to the towns on the coast. French, English, and Russian vessels have all more in band than they can manage.

RANQUET TO THE OFFICERS OF THE STEAM YACHT FOX. SOUTHAMPTON JULY 15. The screw steam yacht Fox will lett've here on Tuesday to survey the coast of the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Southern Greenland, and Labrador, for the purpose of &seer. taining the best spots for lauding the submarine cables, about to be laid down by the North Atlantic Telegraph Company to connect England and America. When the Fox returned with the news of the fate of Franklin, she wan sold and seat on a whaling voyage. Her internal fitting* for the discovery voyage having been iu a great measure destroyed for her new calling, on being repurchased by the North Atlantic Telegraph Company, her original fittings had to be restored, and about teu days since she was brought round toSouthampton to be refitted and pro visioned. On the surveying expedition to which she is bound the dangers will not be so great nor the cold so severe as were experienced on the Franklin voyage, for it is not expected that the temperature during the three or four months she will be away will be below freezing-point. When the North Atlantic Telegraph Company was started they applied to the English government for assistance to make the survey. This application was acceded to, and her Majesty's steamer Bulldog was placed at the service of the company, and the command of her given to Captain M'Clintock, the discoverer of the fate of Franklin, to make the necessary deep sea soundings for the survey. The coin. pany then bought the Fox and wive the command of her to Captain Allen Young, Welintock'a companion in the Franklin voyage, to make the coast survey for the com pany. The Fox is only 200 tons burden, and her crew, officers, and passengers, will consist of about 24 persons, three or four of whom belonged to the Fox in her Franklin voyage. Those who will act as officers under Captain Young are all scientific men. Mr. Davis, R.N., is to be chief officer, and Dr. line, the famous Arctic traveller, and Coterie' Schaffuer, an American officer, and other scientific gentlemen, will accompauy the expedition. Overland journeys will be made acrosa the Farce islands, Iceland, and Southern Greenland, to ascertain whether it will be better to have and wires and double stations, or only submarine cables and single statinos . The English government has liberally supplie d the Fox with sonic very tine scientific instruments fur the survey, and also for making useful observations. The Fox also carries appa ratus for deep sea soundings, according to an American in vention, which consists of a hempen string attached to a wire, at the end of which is a socket which hooks on to a perforated cannon ball. As soon as the ball touches the bottom of the sea it unhooks itself, and the length of the string pulled up reveals the depth, and the socket brings up specimens of the ocean bed. The un hooking of the bell by a self-acting process is the valuable part of the invention, bemuse there is no chance of the -string, disengaged as it is from the heavy ball, breaking in hauling in. The objection to the secente of the North Atlantic Telegraph Company in the first place was the sup. pored danger from the aboutiou of the cables by icebergs but in deep water icebergs do not touch the bottom, and care will be taken to avoid abnisiou in shallow water by carryirig the cables up some of thew fords whose narrow entrances guarded by projected headlands effectually pre vent large itchergs from entering. Previous to the departure of the Fox from this port, Mr. F. Perkins, the mayor of the town, in accordance with that renown for hea lpitality for which Southampton is diatinimished, and which has obtained fur it the sobriquet of the City of Banquets, resolved to entertain the officers of the steam yacht, in order to give an opportunity to their friends to wish them God speed in the interesting voyage they were about to undertake. Accordingly about 150 persons sat down to a superb feast last evening at the Vic toria Ronnie The banquetting room was gorge ously decorated with English, American, and Leunah flags, and in a coespicuous position was a monster tract chart of the proposed route of the Fox. Captain Allen Young sat on the right of the Mayor, and among those pre septet the banquet were Sir E. Belcher, the Artie voyager; Dr. Rae, the Arctic traveller ; Sir Roderick Murchison, Admiral Fitzroy ; Dr. Shaw, Secretary to the Royal Geo graphical Society ; Mr. Arrowsmith, the celebrated map. pie ; Captains °Tomalley and Palliser ; Sir Charles Bright, Dr. Fothergill Cooke, and Mr. C. V. Walker, F.R.&, the famous electricians; Colonel Schaffuer, J. M.Wolffe, Esq., Major Lacy ; Lieutenant Von Mien, a Danish officer ; Mr. Obasoin, a member of the Icelandic Diet ; J. R. Croskey, Esq., the lion. Mr. Dutton, M.P., CApleille Mangles and Engledue, and many of the magistrates, town councillors, and most eminent citizens of Soutlemptou, several of the letter wearing the rifle volunteer uniferm. Vs. BAILEY, a distinguished citizen id New York, re• tuned thanks for the toast of "The President of the United States ;" and Lieutenant VON ZEILAN for " The King of Denmark," through whose territories the submarine cables will pass. This officer, together with Mr. °Lissom, of the Icelandic Diet, have been sent to England to give the Ninth Atlantic Telegraph Conaiamy every encourage ment and assistance. Lieutenant VIM Zoltan spoke in Eng lish, and clainied for the English, American, and Dan , races one common origin, whose pre-eminent characteristics were • fondues for peace and liberty. Admiral Frneoe delivered a huninous speech, in which he demonstrated the practicability of the scheme of the North Atlantic Telegraph Company. Sir R. McKeown eulogised Captain Young as an officer admirably adapted for the undertaking in which be was about to be engaged. A vociferous demand was made by the assembled company for Sir E. Belcher to speak to the kart of the ravy, and the old sailor rose and in a few words derided the idea that England would ever want ships or men in times of danger to keep a foe from her shores. Dr. Rae, Sir Charles Bright, Major Itavenhlll, Captains Young, Mangles, Engledue, and O'Shea, Mr. Fothergill Cooke, Mr. Vi alker, F.R.S., Mr. Stebbins, F.A.S., Colonel Schaffner, kn., spoke during the evening. The banquet lasted until midnight. The mayor, although quite a young man, presided over his distinguished guests with dignity and ability. MUSIC. NORFOLK AND NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL. NORWICH, SATURDAY EVENING. The near approach of this festival in beginning to render it a subject of much local and some general inte rest. The ensuing gathering is the thirteenth festival, and every exertion is being put forth to give eclat to the pro- ceedings. Some variation will be made in the arrangements; for instance, an additional evening performance will take place ou the evening of Monday, Sept. 17, when the Crea tion (Haydn) will he given. lueeilay morning will be oc cupied with the " Dettingen Te Deurn" (Handel) ; Wed. nesday morning with the Lam? Judynernt (Spohr) ; Thurs day morning with a new oratorio by Herr itolique, entitled Abraham', to Ir,,produced for the first time ou the occa sion ; and Friday inoruing with the never failing Messiah (Handel). As Muliquo's oratorio will not till up the whole of Thursday morning, and ns a provincial audience appears to be considered rather Grim oaf in regard to full value for cash expended, a selection of sacred music will follow. On the evenings of Tues day, Wednesday, and Thursday three miscellaneous concerts will Le given, at whirls will he produced, inter aria. Sterndale Liconett's Mate Queen, (:lucks Armida, and a new Cantata, entitled Lladine, which Mr. Benedict (who will again act as emiluctor) has compumed expressly for the festival. The leading vocalists engaged are Madame Clara Novelle, Mr. Sims Ikaves, Madame tkaglii Memo, Mr. and Mrs. Wens, Mr. Wilhye Cooper, Mr. Santley, and Signor Belletti. An alteration is to be made in the arraugements of the orchestra, awl the principal vocalists are to be brought more prominently before the ambence, by au extension of the platform fur that special purpuee. The members of the Norwich Choral Society will form the chorus as usual, and will be assisted by several extraneous sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses , so that the total strength of the erehestra will not fall far short of 4W individual , . The leaders of the band, which will comprise largo drafts from the orchestras of Her Majesty's Thoitru aud the Royal Italian Opera, will be Mr. Salami and Mr. H. Illagrove. The festival will close, as usual, with a fancy.dren ball. The concluding lecture of Professor Scott's lectum on "Revelstion and Philosophy," was delivered on FlichLy in the Theatre of the 31arylehene institution.
