ADAM RIVERS STEELE, Solicitor, 44, Bloomsbury-square, London, W.C. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DAY.—Morning, 3h. 35m.—Afternoon, 3h. 55m, To-monmow.-Morning, 4h. 10m.—Afternoon, 4h. 28m Another frightful Colliery Explosion has but just now startled the isle from its propriety. The lamentable tidings come to us in the midst of the profound national solicitude felt by every English man for the impoverished artizans of Lancashire. The intelligence—afflicting enough under any cir cumstances—cannot but be regarded as especially deplorable, coming to our knowledge as it does when the popular heart is softened by the realisa tion, to the very fullest extent, of an earnest sym pathy for the immense afflictions now befalling the manufacturing population in the north-west of England. More particularly, also, does the inti mation of this miserable Colliery Catastrophe strike home to the hearts of all from the vividness of the general recollection left behind it by that tragic event which took place only a very few months back down at Hartley New Colliery Pit. There—who can readily forget it ?—the casualty that doomed so many of our innocent fellow-creatures to a dreadful death, arose, not as in the present instance, from an explosion of fire-damp, but from an accidental stoppage of an all important part of the machinery. The con sequence being simply that the single shaft previously giving access to and egress from the mine in question, became instantly blocked up by the shattered ruins of the wood and iron of which that machinery was composed—fragments jumbled together, and firmly compacted together, with masses of crumbling earth. So firmly com pacted together that the poor colliers at work far down below in that ill-fated mine where the acci dent happened, were literally trapped there and battened down beyond the reach, as the result proved, of any timely assistance. Insomuch that by the time—and, Oh, the hideous prdongation of that time ! can it ever be obliterated from the popu lar recollection, more particularly in that most afflicted countryside ?—by the time the obstructing debris could be at length sufficiently broken through to admit of one generous and brave hearted workman squeezing his way down the aperture and penetrating to the subterranean scene of destruction, not one human being amongst the two hundred men and boys there entombed to gether, but had long before then breathed his last. The lesson drawn from that dire catastrophe was immediately appreciable. The Hartley Colliery accident realised to every one upon the instant the folly of working any of these " Black Holes"—in which the labourers were otherwise liable at any moment to be similarly entrapped—the folly of working any of these subterranean scenes of toil with a single shaft only, and not, as they ought in variably to be worked (without any one tolerated exception to the contrary) with a pair of shafts. The warning was fearful of its kind. Our one consolation, in the remembrance of it, is that it has told. From the terrible explosion which yesterday occurred in the St. Edmund's Main Colliery near Barnsley, a lesson of caution of another kind has been taught with some severity to those engaged in the conduct or supervision of these underground arenas of toil. How taught, and to what precise exercise of caution—a reference to the catastrophe of yesterday will the most readily indicate. At seven o'clock yesterday morning an explosion.tated took place in the Edmund's Main Colliery, situated about midway between Barnsley and Sheffield. A the shot having been fired at that hour in working in coal ignited an issue of gas, which issue of g its turn ignited the coal. It was what subsequently occurred that led to the woful catastrophe upon which we have now occasion to lament so unavail ingly. Notwithstanding the circumstance that the ventilation was materially, almost, we had said, inevitably injured by the little casualty just par ticularised, the colliers engaged down in the pit to the number of 250 still remained at work—an act of insensate folly under the circumstances. Another explosion, it is not surprising to learn, and this time an explosion of some violence, occur red at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. Then— many of the miners left the pit r" not all et them, observe, even then, after that startling (and violent) explosion !

" All efforts to reach them have failed," says the telegram from Worsborongh Dale, under date eleven o'clock last night—" and all have no doubt perished !" It is added, " The pit is on fire, and preparations are being made to flood it with water." Preparations indicative that those in authority down there regard as utterly be yond all hope of redemption from death the fifty 1 or sixty poor fellows thus doomed to fearful destruc tion. A few of the unhappy creatures who had been drawn to the surface within the interval of time which elapsed between the two serious explosions particularised, are described as having been so frightfully mutilated that they expired soon afterwards in great agonies. If but the timely warning given by the first casualty at 7 a.m., and by the first violent explosion at 11 a.m. had been obeyed, nothing of these miserable scenes of death and bodily suffering need have occurred—anguish of this bitter kind need not have been brought home, in this way, to the humble and Billeted homes of these poor miners near Barnsley. Due discretion was manifestly not exercised. Once the ventilation of a coal-pit has become injured, the colliers engaged at work within it at the time ought, in obedience to the dictates of common sense, to be drawn from their perilous plight until the damage has been repaired. The doing this would almost seem to be the following of a simple instinct. Yet, for all that, the double warning yesterday—visible in the ignited coal at seven o'clock in the evening, audible in the violent explosion which took place at eleven o'clock in the forenoon—passed by un heeded. Two hundred and fifty miners were left below in the first instance. Fifty or sixty in the second. Another and final explosion at one in the 1 afternoon sounded at length, for the latter, the signal of their destruction. The whole pit was soon in conflagration, and the flooding of the mine the last resource left as a means to be employed for terminating this terrific catastrophe. Now, precisely as the Hartley Colliery catas trophe taught those entrusted with the manage ment of coal mines, the absolute and im- perative necessity of no longer continuing the single shaft system but substituting for that system the rational system of working every mine with a pair of shafts—so distinctly also ought the destructive explosion which took place yesterday between Barnsley and Sheffield in the Edmund's Main Colliery, to teach them for once and for all the equally imperative necessity of clear ing the mine of colliers so soon as the ventilation of it has at any time become visibly and audibly im paired. It requires no scientific knowledge, not even a smattering of it, to arrive at this conclusion. We are led to it directly and irresistibly by consi derations of the homeliest common sense description. Greece we look at with quiet wonder, only shrugging our shoulders a little to think how com pletely patronising Russia and enlightened France must wonder—the one at the ingratitude, the other at the want of taste, in the Hellenes. America we look at with Pharasaic complacency, and thank HEAVEN that we are not, as the Americans are, slaveholders, negro haters, Republicans, Democrats, or perhaps, even as ABE LINCOLN or the horrid Abolitionists. But we can look with no such quiet surprise or complacency at our " garotters," of whose feats we expect to see some story in every newspaper we open. Garotters we call them for brevity, though strangulation of their victim is but one of their modes of disabling him, and Robbery with Violence is the only distinction Baron BRAMWELL could make between the deeds of the now prominent class of villains, and the rogues who plunder you by all kinds of stratagems. The distinction is one indeed of the highest significance. We had long and patiently endured all kinds of pocket-picking, seizure of parcels and reticules and running off with them, losses in a crowd, if we choose to hazard our property in such a position, and petty pilfering in shops and else where. Even housebreaking was borne with com parative magnanimity, the cases being rare indeed in which any attempt was made on life, unless you ventured your life in defence of your property. But now we are all aroused by the fear of violent personal attacks in places and from persons whom we should the least suspect. No doubt many stories find their way even into print, which are gross exaggerations or, in some instances, mere fictions ; but the recent trials and sentences are proofs sufficient that they are but that fringing of rumour which is always sure to accompany alarming facts. Only a few nights ago a gentleman,' whom we personally know, had nearly reached his own door early in the evening, in Highbury New Park, when he saw a man com paring the address on a letter with the numbers on the doors. Not at all suspecting such an appear ance he passed the man to his own door, and was immediately knocked down by a violent blow on the back of his head with some weapon which cut it deeply, causing considerable effusion of blood. Happily he was not rendered unconscious, and when the man saw him spring up and run to the bell of his own door, he, as our American friends say, " skedaddled," and no more was aeon of him. The case of course never appeared in the papers, though the violence was such that our friend kept his bed for days; and we mention it as an illustration of what we believe to be the truth, that the un recorded cases, even bad ones, considerably out number the fictitious ones, and that the alarm therefore is not properly a panic, but too reasonable a fear, that when we least expect it we may suffer the most brutal violence, for the chance of getting possession of our watch or a few shillings. The loss is bad enough; we are indignant when we suffer it from a rogue's dexterity, half blam ing ourselves all the time for not being as shrewd:as the thief was ingenious; but to be attacked in a way against which we have no chance of protecting ourselves, to be not merely outwitted, but half murdered, receiving perhaps wounds the scars of which we shall bear to our dying day—is enough to alarm the most courageous, and abso lutely to terrify the timid. All sorts of exhortations are freely proffered, one in a well-known weekly, that we should all place ourselves under the training of prizefighters. But of what earthly u le would it be to have the strength and muscles of a HEENAN or SAYERS, if attacked from behind with a loaded weapon, as in tho case mentioned above, when you least expected it. We are told to keep the middle of the road, and also to keep a good look-out ; but all this would not avail us in some localities, and these too of most respectable character. Indeed, a man would need eyes in the back of his head to be on his guard against the cowards whom you would perhaps be but too happy to meet fairly and openly. Pending the suppression of this intolerable nuisance, nothing of course can be done but for every one to take care of himself as best he can; indeed the community seems to think so, for the sale of deadly weapons has bun enormous within a very short time. Yet nothing can be more undesirable than that persons pre viously unskilled in the use of pistols, bowie knives, sword sticks, and, even life-preservers, should be using them freely in the public streets. One shud ders to think of . the accidents which might happen to innocent persons, even to passers by, if the prac tice of self-protection with such weapons become LATEST NEWS. TURIN, DEC. 8, EVENING. The Official Gazette has not yet announced the Formation of the Cabinet. Signor Farini, Peruzzi, Menabrea, and Min ghetti have, however, already taken the oath of allegiance :a the King. Signori Della Rovere, Manna, Amari, Ricci, and Pasolini are expected at,Turin. The portfolio for Foreign Affairs not having been accepted by Signor Pasolini, will be assumed by Signor Farini. Signor Cassinis has likewise declined to accept the portfolio of Justice, which will therefore be entrusted to Signor Pisanelli, a Neapolitan. The Chambers will assemble in public sitting on Wednesday next. The Discusszone of to-day states that Farini and Minghetti represent their former political pro gramme, to which they will remain faithful. The Discussione speaks with greater reserve respecting the views of Signor Peruzzi, but believes that if the Right of the Chamber will only strongly support the Cabinet the latter will completely agree with their policy. general. To prevent this, however, our Home Secretary must be wide awake. Persons will not risk violent attacks without the means of counter attack. And, whether London is to become a New Orleans or a Charleston, where every man must guard against a foe in his neighbour, depends very much on what our police authorities, and, if neces- sary, our legislators, can do for us. But what can they do ?---we shall be asked ; and, we admit, fairly asked. They do not certainly feel any want of suggestions. Journalists and letter writers tender their advice in ample abundance. Now, it is surely their province to weigh it all in the scales of their own greater experience and knowledge, and to do something—the evil being simply intolerable at home, besides disgracing ns in the eyes of the world. The means suggested—all resolve themselves into two classes—the directly protective and the preventive. The first is ex pensive. To protect effectually every street—not only those with much traffic in them, but the side streets and those of the suburbs, would require an army, a sen ty actryeverorner, and to every "ter race," or " place," or road lined with " villas." The expense would not be endured. The limits per mitted by law for a police -rate would nut permit it, if ever so well administered. And here we may say that, whatever faults may be charged against the police the common one—" and a police man nowhere to be seen"—is not quite reasonable ; even the boys in the streets watch the policemen out of the way to practise their common sportive but interdicted tricks, and it is quite certain that, either personally, or by means of coadjutors, these " garotters" take pretty good care to be sure that no policeman shall be within sight or hearing when they make an attack. Unless, therefore, the police were sufficiently numerous to be never out of sight of each other, complete protection, by police, is an impossibility. Of the preventive schemes proposed, terror and literal physical withdrawal of the rogue from social life, are the chief. Frighten the villains if you can. Keep them in prison as long as the law will let you, that we may at least have fewer of them in the streets. The cat o' nine tails, and longer sentences seem to be the most approved recipes for the garotte mania which seems to have seized on the thieves of London, and in some of the provinces too. As to the justice of a flogging for the coward who has stealthily injured another to rob him of a little money, there can be no question. He merits it far more than most • soldiers or sailors who re ceive it. It does not seem, however, to have worked well in the army. It certainly is rather a hindrance than otherwise to reformation. Still we cannot but think that its uniform infliction whenever the robbery had been accompanied by violence to man, or by terrifying females, would have a most salutary effect. It would throw the rogues on their ingenuity, and make them afraid to indulge their brutality ; and, of course, it would be a great point gained, if robbed we must be, to have it so done, that we were not injured for weeks, it may be for life : only let there be no mercy—let the punishment be certain. Whatever followed of im prisonment, let all the violent have a taste on their own backs of what violence means. The ticket-of-leave system as at present worked, is now all but universally condemned. If good behavour in prison obtain any reward, it must be that of escaping further detention for bad behavour, The sentence must be carried out to the letter, but it might be law that, for every day of bad behaviour certified to by the visiting justices, a day would be added after the prisoner would have, other wise, beet. liberated. This will be sufficient to en sure good behaviour in prison. Care, however, must be taken not to confound the ticket-of-leave system as practised in England, ,with the really reforma tory system adopted in Ireland. On this, however, we cannot now dilate, we can only warn our readers, for the present, not to confound two systems which are, really, the very opposites of each other. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR CASTLE, DEC. 8 The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Louis of Hesse and Princess Beatr,ice, and attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, drove out this morning in a carriage and four. Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. D. de Ros was in attendance on horseback. The P droverincess in Helena,h accompanied by the Countess Blucher, Prince Arthur, att onded b y Major Elphinstone, left the Castle this morning and returne d to Greenwich Park. the grounds. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official re sidence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing street. The ministers present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, Sir George Grey, Earl Russell, Sir G. C. Lewis, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, the Right llon. Edward Cardwell, and the Right Hon. C, P. Villiers. The Chanoellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yester day from Hawarden Castle, Chester. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governor of the Mauritius. Despatches were sent to the Governor of the Falkland Islands, and to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. P ItINCESS'S THEATRE.—Last night a new one act piece, entitled "Law versus Love," was produced here. It is of exceedingly slight construction, scarcely giving the excellent actors an opportunity of displaying their powers. Mr. Clifford (Mr. It. Roxby), who is ardently pursuing a widow, Mrs. Harlow (Miss M. Oliver), is made extremely jealous by her encouraging a Mr. Greville (Mr. Shore) ; this, however, is done only that she may introduce him to a Mrs. Belmont (Miss Murray), with whom ho has a law suit. After some twenty minutes' confusing, bantering, and perplexity, an explanation ensues, and the trifle ends with a few sign , 4 of applause. It is announced as by Mr. George Linley, who also composed a ballad for Miss Oliver, entitled "I don't intend to wed," and which sho sings in her simple and graceful manner. The theatre closes on Saturday, in order to give atr,ple opportunity for the prepara tion of the pantomime, for which Mr. Beverley is superin tending the scenic department. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Last night Mr. Sothern completed his three hundredth per&rmance of Lord Dun dreary, with undiminished popularity. Mr. Tom Taylor is preparing a new drama for this clever actor to appear in when the present remarkable " run" shows any signs of exhaustion. ----------- THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE BALL.—The ball for the benefit of this excellent': charity this year will take place next Wednesday at St. James's .hall. The list of stewards is large and distinguished, the arrangements have been well planned, and the company will doubtless be large and brilliant. ~r A SHIP ON FIRE AND A MAN BURNED TO DEATH AT llAuTrAroor,,-1 distressing occurrence took place in the outer harbour of the Hartlepool Docks early yesterday morning, in which the life of a person belonging to llartle pool, but latterly residing at Whitby, was sacrificed. The name of the deceased was Ralph Day, 28 years of ago. He is mate of the schooner Mary, of Hartlepool, the property of Mr. Joseph Bruce. Tho vessel was lying in a tier in the outer harbour, the deceased being the only person on beard, the crew having been discharged. About half• past two o'clock yesterday morning a dog in an adjoining ship was heard barking, and a captain of a vessel lying alongside the schooner, named Peck, came on deck, and at once saw a volume of smoke issuing from the companion door of the cabin; he immediately jumped on board and raised an alarm of fire. An officer, who was on duty, heard the cry, and he, together with a dock-gate man, made his way to the vessel, and by the time they arrived several other parties had b; en aroused from the neighbouring ships. Captain Peck ventered down and found the p )or fellow lying a corpse on the cabin floor, with one of his feet almost burnt off. Water was thrown down in a continuous stream on the burning framework of the cabin,and although the cabin was completely gutted the fire was stayed before the decks or shell of the vessel caught hold. The deceased had only lately lost his wife, and has left five orphans in Whitby,— Leeds Mercury. It is estimated that in Illinois there have been raised from 50,000 to 75,000 acres of sorghum this season, The value of the product by syrup is estimated at one rai- i lien dollars, FRANCE.

QUEENSTOWN, MONDAY MORNING. The Cunard mail steamer Europe, from Boston the 26th and Halifax the 28th, has arrived. The President has issued the following order in reference to the enforcement of the Confiscation Act : " Executive Mansion, Nov. 13, 1862. " Ordered, by the President of the United States, that the Attorney-General be charged with the superintendence and direction of all proceedings to be had under the Act of Congress of the 17th of July, 1862, entitled 'An Act to suppress insurrection, punish treason and rebellion, seise and confiscate the property of rebels, and for other pur poses,' in so far as may concern the seizure, prosecution, and condemnation of the estate, property, and effects of rebels and traitors, as mentioned and provided for in the fifth, sixth, and seventh sections of the said act of Congress. " And the Attorney-General is authorised and required to give to the attorneys and marshals of the United States such instructions and directions as he may find needful and touching all such seizures, prosecutions, and condemna tions; and, moreover, to authorise all such attorneys and marshals, whenever there may be reasonable ground to fear any forcible resistance to the act in the discharge of their respective duties in this behalf, to call upon any military officer in command of the forces of the United States to give them such aid, protection, and support as may be necessary to enable thE m safely and efficiently to discharge their re spective duties ; and all such commanding officers are re quired promptly to obey such call and to render the neces sary service, as far as may be in their power, consistently with their other duties. "By the President. " AIMAZtA3I LIIVCOLIT. "EDWARD BATES, Attorney-General. In accordance with this order, the Attorney- General will shortly issue specific instructions to United States attorneys and marshals for carrying into effect the provisions of the Act to which refe rence has been made. The following order has been issued from the War Department to release all persons held in custody for discouraging enlistment : 44 RELEASE OF PRISONERS. "War Department, Washington, Nov. 22. " Ordered, first, that all persons now in military custody who have been arrested for discouraging volunteer enlist ments, opposing the draught, or for otherwise giving aid and comfort to the enemy in States where the draught has been made, or the quota of volunteers and militia has been fur nished, shall be discharged from further military restraint. " Second, that persons who by authority of the military commander or governors in rebel States have been arrested and sent from such States for disloyalty or hostility to the Government of the United States, and are now in military custody, may also be discharged upon giving their parole to do no act of hostility against the Government of the United States, nor render aid to its enemies ; but such persons shall remain subject to military surveillance and liable to arrest on breach of their parole ; and if any such persons shall prefer to leave the loyal States on condition of their not re turning again during the war, or until special leave for that purpose be obtained from the President, then such person shall, at his option, be released, and depart from the United States, or be conveyed beyond the military lines of the United States forces. " This order shall not operate to discharge any person who has been in arms against the Government, or by force and arms has resisted or attempted to resist the draught, nor relieve any person from liability to trial and punish ment by civil tribunals, or by court-martials, or military commission, who may be amenable to such tribunals for offences committed. " By order of the Secretary of War, " E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant- General." A Washington Letter in the .2Vew York, World refers thus to the forthcoming report of the Secre tary of War : " A rumour has been current in private circles that Mr. Stanton is disposed to give an inside view of the Peninsular campaign, and explain la's 2elations towards General M'Clellan and the army under his command. He is aware that the reports of General M'Clellan will be called for early in the session, and has stated to his friends that it is due to him that his side of the controversy should be presented at the same time. It is further re ported here that President Lincoln is somewhat dubious as to the Propriety of permitting Mr. Stanton to present his report to Congress without having first seen it himself, and in some way or other will insist upon its passing under his supervision before it is given to the country. This, it will be remembered, was done in the case of Secretary Cameron, a much more discreet politician than Secretary Stanton. The Secretary of War writes well, whatever may be his other faults, and, if not interfered with, will present a most exciting and interesting military budget to the country," The execution of Confederate prisoners of war at Palmyra has elicited the following order from President Davis, which appears in the _Richmond Enquirer of the 22d : " Executive-office, Richmond, Virginia, Nov. 17. General,—Enclosed you will find a slip from the Mem phis Daily Appeal of the 3d inst., containing an account purporting to be derived .from the Palmyra (Missouri) Courier a Federal journal, of the murder of ten Confederate citizens of Missouri, by order of Gen. M'Neil, of the United States army. You will communicate by flag of truce with the Federal officer commanding that department, and ascertain if the facts are as stated; and if they be so, you will demand the immediate surrender of General bl'Neil to the Confederate authorities. And, if this demand is not complied with, you will inform the same commanding officer that you are ordered to execute the first ten United States officers who may be captured and fall into your hands. " Very respectfully yours, " JEFFERSON DAVIS. " Lieut.-Gen. T. 3. Holmes, Commanding the 1 1 Iississippi Dep ,rtment. The Mayor of Fredericksburg has made the fol lowing response to General Sumner's demand for the surrender of the city : " Mayor's-office, Fredericksburg, Nov. 21, 1462. Sir,—l have received, at 20 minutes before 5 o'clock this afternoon, your communication of this date. In it you state, that under cover of the houses of this town shots have been fired upon th e t roops o f your comman d ; that our mills and manufactories are furnishing provisions and the materials for c l o thi ng f or arme d b o di es in rebellion again st the Government of the United States ; that our rail roads ant other means of transportation are removing supplies to the depots of such troops; that this condition of things must terminate; that by comman d of Major- General Burnside you demand the surrender of this town into your hands, as the representative of the Government of the United . Staten, at or before five o'clock this afternoon; :hat, failing an affirmative reply to this demand by the time indicated, 16 hours will be permitted to elapse for the removal rroratbe town of the women and children, the sick, wounded, and aged; which period having elapsed, you will proceed to shell the town.' In reply, I have to say that this communi- cation did not reach me in timo to convene the Council for its consideration, and furnish a reply by the hour indicated —5 o'clock p.m. It was sent to me through the hands of the commanding officer of the army of the Confederate States, near this town, to whom it was first delivered, by consent of General Patrick, who brought it from you, as I am in formed, and I am authorised by the commander of the Con federate army to say that there was no delay in passing it through his hand to me. In regard to the matters complained of by you, the firing of shots upon your troops occurred upon the northern suburbs of the town, and was the act of the militaryofficer commanding the Confederate forces near here, or which neither the citizens nor the civil authorities of this own are responsible. In regard to the other matter of complaint, I am authorised by the latter officer to state that the condition of things therein complained of will no longer exist; that your troops shall not be fired on from this town ; that the mills and manufactories here will not furnish any further supplies, provisions, or material for clothing for the Confederate troops, nor will the railroads or other means of transportation here convey supplies from the town to the depot of said troops outside of the town. The civil authorities of Fredericksburg have no control, but I am assured by the military authorities of the Confederate army near here that nothing will be done by them to in fringe the conditions herein named as to matters within the town. But the latter authorities inform us that, while their troops will not occupy the town, they will not permit yours to do so. Ye,u must be aware that there will not be more than three or four hours of daylight within the 16 hours given by you for the removal of the sick and wounded, the women and children, the aged and infirm, from the place ; and I have to inform you that, while there is no railroad transportation accessible to the town, because of the interruption thereof by your batteries, all other means of transportation within the town are so limited as to render the removal of the classes of persons spoken of within the time indicated an utter impossibility. I have convened the Council, which will remain in session awaiting any further communication you may have to make. "Very respectfully, your obedient servant, " M. SLAUGHTER, Mayor. "Brevet Major-General V. Sumner, Commanding United States Army." The despatch accompanying this document says— " Last night was a busy time in Frederickburg, remov ing the inhabitants. The military authorities were also not , idle, as daylight this morning revealed to view a line of earthworks to the right and rear of the town—the result of last night's labour. The artillery is now being placed in the most favourable positions, while the encampments which are in range of the enemy's guns are being removed further back from the river. There are very apparent strong rea sons for not opening upon the city to-day, unless forced to do so by the enemy. The rebels have just fired a few shots, but no response has been made." Another despatch of the evening of the 22d adds : "Owing to some misunderstanding, a train leaving Fredericksburg with women and children on board was fired into, but fortunately none of them were hurt. The citizens of Fredericksburg are fast leaving the place." A despatch from the headquarters at Falmouth, of the 23d, reports everything quiet up to that evening : " The day has passed off quietly, without anything worthy of note transpiring. The church bells in Frede ricksburg were ringing to-day, announcing the hour of Divine worship, although most of the inhabitants had f.ed the doomed city. A great many unarmed soldiers were seen walking through the city to-day. During the last night the enemy's works were somewhat extended, but no additional guns are visible." A special despatch to the Herald, from Aquia Creek, 24th, states that reports from General Burn side's army to-day represent everything quiet and ' without material change : "The city of Fredericksburg is not yet shelled, for rea sons satisfactory to the Commanding General. Preparations for a further advance are steadily progressing, and the pre sent state of expectancy will soon be relieved by prompt and vigorous action. The army is in good condition, ready and anxious to move forward. The enemy is still in force on the opposite side of the river, and improving the time to prepare for as vigorous a resistance to our crossing as possi ble, Locomotives and cars were placed upon the track here to-day, and the road will be open to the Potomac to-mon. row. Rebel sympathisers still continue to cut the telegraph wires." The Herald's special despatch from Harper's Ferry, dated the 24th, says : " News of interest has reached me from Jackson's head quarters as late as Saturday last. Jackson then had his head-quarters at Berryville. His force was 30,000 men., and the number of his guns 60. Friday evening Jackson the fnllowine telegram from Jeff. Davis If you do not leave the Valley at once and come to help us to defend Richmond, it will not be worth your while to come to its defence at all.' Jackson's reply is not known, but his forces were not in motion on Saturday." Another raid into Maryland, but on a small scale, has been reported : " Offut's Cross Roads, Montgomery, Nov. 25. "This morning at daylight a body of rebel cavalry, 60 in number, entered Poolesville and seized Cherry and Sargent, the telegraph operators stationed there, in bed. They pa • roled them and permitted them to telegraph their mishap to Washington. This boldness of the rebels has caused much excitement at Washington." GA RIBALDI. The following communication has been addressed by Garibaldi to the Hungarians "PISA, Dec. 2. " Hungarians—Look upon Italy as a sister, and the Italians as ready to fight by your side for the deliverance of your people, as you fought Lr the deliverance of curs. How noble they were, those valorous sons of Hungary, upon our southern fields of battle ! Oa looking at them I more than once exclaimed to myself—' Oh, those gallant fellows will soon get rid of their tyrants, and in their struggle against the despot, we will return the blood which they are shedding for us.' Do not trouble yourselves about the injustice of Ministers and the ingratitude of persons holding high places ; that people love you, and the cause of Hungary is now the cause of the Italians. Give your hand to the oppressed people who surround you, and hope that God will no longer allow the martyrdom of his creatures.—Yours for life, " GARIBALDI." ASYLUM OR FEMALE ORPHANS. Yesterday a special general court of the friends and supporters of this institution, situated in West minster-bridge-road, for the education and mainte nance of female orphans, was held at the London Tavern—Mr. Samuel Wheeler in the chair. It appeared from the report that since the esta blishment of the charity by that active police magistrate Sir John Fielding, the brother of the illustrious novelist, in 1758, more than 2,700 chil dren have been sheltered in the asylum, and pro vided on their leaving it with situations as domestic servants. The present number of inmates was stated to be 157, of whom 10 were about to leave, having completed the period of their pupilage. The average income, irrespective of legacies, was about £3,500 per annum. It being necessary to hold an election for the se lection of candidates to succeed those about to re tire, the special court was summoned for that purpose. The report having been adopted a poll was opened, and at its conclusion the Chairman de clared the names of the successful candidates. There were 33 competitors. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MUSICAL PED.INTRY. A correspondent in a letter to the Examiner writes The Monday popular concerts at St. James's 1111 are worthy of commendation, but I think is is perfectly within the scope of the fair critic to endeavour to keep them in their true course of utility, and to point out any deviation from good taste, This is not to be achieved by that dull and fulsome pane gyric which so generally pervades the notices of concerts, but by boldly and fairly pointing out absurdities, and how ever much we may be amused by Dundrearyism at the Hay - tualket we ought to be intolerant of it when we find it in the PfeSS. I have been led to this train of thought by having placed in my hand a book intended to be a pro gramme of one of these concerts, but so perfectly in" comprehensible to the great bulk of Concert-goer s in its obtrusive display of the jargon of the profession that I venture to assert that not more than hllf-e -dozen of tho audience would understand what it means, while the six who did understand it would consider it a display of musical pedantry in the worst taste, mean t to delude the ignorant into a belief that they had be;n lis tening to sounds which only the initiated could compre hend and properly enjoy. When Mr. T. P. Cooke, th e melodramatic actor, was in the zenith of his popularity, h e went over to France and created a perfect furore by enact' ing the Monster in Frankenstein, On one occasion he re' ceived such en ovation, on being called before the curtain, that he returned thanks in a short speech in English, which was applauded to the echo, the people ac the same time saying to each other, what does he say, what does be mean? mais n'importe, c'Est charmante. The differenc e between Mr. T. P. Cooke's speech and these learned essays being that the former was charmingly, the latter are stu pidly incomprehensible. - - Every musician knows that the seizing upon a certain number of musical terms and technical phrases, and string ing them together, is in no way instructive nor of the least use to the public ; it marks the empiric, and is simplY kind of musical Jenkinsism. Take the following as sample. Jenkins, of the Monday popular Concerts, write s thus of a sonata by Beethoven : "The subject is now conducted from F to C, just as pre viously it was conducted from Gto D. From C (the sub dominant) back to G the tonic principal) is an easy pro gression. Once again in Gwe have a brilliant develop ment, in unison of that feature of the leading subject,whiel l is continued in its second bar. The theme is then repeated in G, and instead of the progression to D (the dominant of G) we have a progression to F sharp (the dominant of B)." Kalleebalee, Kalleebala, what the deuce does he say ? But patience, let us try on. "This episode (writes Jenkins) together with the richly harmonised codetta, which, when it has modulated to G (th e dominant of the principal key of C), begins thus mysteri: ously : The elaborately•constructed bridge (query, W ee , bridge ?) over which we are made to pass to the prin , 3ll o ' subject is, perhaps, the most expressWe part of the adagi° , it never becomes prolix, such is the variety and such the skill with which it is wrought out." Now behold, Jenkins rises to poetry : "The last bars may be likened to the gradual fading a'tV e i of a prolonged and exciting dream." Brave, bravo, Jenkins. Pro-di-gi-ous I All this learning is to be bought for sixpence. The pe°P, l° simply desire a bill of the performance, th e names of t ee , vocal and instrumental performers, and Ilarticula.-s of vill aw they are going to sing and play; but J en ki ns won 't let the p off so easily, and insists upon showing his wonderful eructs' tion, I have now expressed p re tty p l a i n l y my contempt A , e ‘ ," this obtrusive pedantry, and to prove how easy it i° humbug the million let me venture to give you a Pa r ): phrase of the style upon which I h ave an i ma dverted, al l recast its ideas into a readable form. As thus : gh at master, We find, with reference to thi s m us i ca l gem of the gr e master, that the alteration in the harmony by the interye e t ; tion of the chord of the ninth brings the passage boldly the mediant, from whence, gradually sliding by the 11 seventh of the sub-mediant, it returns and resumes its na te ; ral position on the dominant of the key. The elaborate harmony in the foregoing progression is peculiar to N air 6; mann, but, no doubt, would have been severely reprehen tle o by Sarti and the pedants.
