ESKELL'S INVENTION (Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution, excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible. This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made. Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches thirst Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in structions for use, at 11 s., or four quantities in one for 335.. and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed, on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand London. AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the " Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount el death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating, to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its affects, and recovering- health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our befng are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF - PRESERVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill,'London, price ls., sent post free f or 1 3, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., &c., having for 20 years devoted himself entirely to this branch of practice, may be consulted daily, either personally or by correspondence, at his residence, No 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, London.

Hurst and Blackett. Althoagh the public, through the medium of newspaper correspondents, have been fully in -1 formed of the principal features in the late Italian campaigns, a consecutive narrative by one so well qualified for the task as Count Arrivabene is, never theless, extremely acceptable. Belonging to a noble Lombard family, but exiled on account of his political principles, in 1848, he has become na turalised in this country, has attained perfect mastery over the language, and thoroughly appre ciates the value of our institutions. At the com mencement of the Lombard campaign he joined the French and Italian forces as correspondent to the Daily News, and afterwards accompanied, in the same capacity, the expedition of Garibaldi in its progress through Sicily and Calabria, bein g taken prisoner by the Neapolitans, before Capua, and nar rowly escaping with his life. Moreover, his intimacy with Cavour, Garibaldi, and other of the Italian leaders, gave him peculiar facilities for obtaining accurate information respecting both political and military eventi., and his narrative may be con sidered in every respect trustworthy. Excellent plats are also given of the principal battles, and every care has been taken to render the work as complete as possible, and intelligible to the general reader. In the introductory chapter Count Arrivabene gives a slight sketch of the events which immediately preceded hostilities, and honestly states his conviction—a con viction commonly shared by those who had personal knowledge of the relative position and strength of Austrjaand the Italian States,—that external aid ' , was atisantely essential to enable the latter to gain their independence. No one saw this more clearly than Cavour, and to procure this aid he was forced, however unwillingly, to sacrifice Savoy and Nice; and to exchange Austrian influence in the Italian peninsula for that of France. The indignation ex pressel by Garibaldi at this d ismemberment of the kingdom is well known. Indeed he differed with Cavour from the outset, and it seems to have been entirely owing to the mediation of Victor Em manuel that they acted in unison. But in estimating his hcstility to the French we must bear in mind that ii is impossible for him to forget that they, by taking Rome, were the primary cause of the mis fortunes of his gallant band in their desperate attemat, after leaving that city, t o evade the Aus trians and succour Venice, from the fatigues of which journey he lost his wife Anita. That he could act in harmony with the French was therefore hardly to be expected, and he was accordingly giver the command of the Cacciatori della Alpi, and despatched on a service forwhich he was peculiarly fitted, that of spreading the insurrection through the Lombard villages. In this he succeeded per fectly, outmanceuvring the Austrian generals, and preparing the inhabitants of those districts to welcome the Piedmontese rule. Nevertheless the real work of the campaign was accomplished at Magenta and Solferino. Those were the battles which destroyed the Austrian prestige in the Penin suit, and rendered the union of the Duchies with Piedmont possible. At the same time it is impos sibie to praise the heroism of the Sardinian army, the gallantry of Victor Emmanuel too highly. Thus " It was in this second action (the attempt of the Austrians to retake Palestro) that Cialdini's divi sion, led by Victor Emmanuel himself, performed prodigies of valour. The third regiment of Zouaves, under the command of Colonel Chabron, was attached to this Sardinian Division, and had a great share in the victory of this 31st of May; for the Zouaves captured part of the enemy's artillery, jumping over the muzzles of the guns. At one time, the King of Sardinia himself took the lead in the attacking columns, and threw himself into the very thick of the action. Several of the officers of his staff were wounded, and General La Marmora, who was galloping at his Majesty's side, had his horse shot under him. The heroism of Victor Emmanuel on that day was so great that the 3d Regiment of Zouaves came to the unanimous determination to elect him their Corporal —an honour similar to that which, after the battle of Montenotte, haa been bestowed upon General Bonaparte by the 73d demi brigade of the Republican army." With such an example, no wonder the Sardinians fought well, and their behaviour offers a marked contrast to that of the troops and officers of the King of Naples, as observed by Count Arrivabane, when unlucky enough to be taken prisoner by them. His account is so characteristic that we give it in full. Whilst I was looking at that fratricidal fight, I was sud denly roused by a loud shout, followed by a volley of mus ketry. The sharp whistle of balls, and the flash of hun dreds of muskets, left no doubt that a party of Neapolitans were coming up the hill behind. Instantly perceiving my danger, I moved from the place ; but the next moment I was surrounded by the enemy's riflemen, who, as I men tioned in the preceding chapter, had turned Mount Tifata since the morning. There was nothing to be done—l was a prisoner without hope of escape. But it seemed as if the Neapolitans preferred to have me dead ; for, although I was walking towards them, they kept firing at me, and a bullet slightly wounded my left leg. I fell, and the men came up, surrounded me, and took my money, my watch, and part of my clothes. My watch was positively appropriated by the officer in command, though it was afterwards restored by the express orders of the King. One man struck me on the head ; another gave me so heavy a blow on the shoulder that, although it was a bright day, I appeared to see all the stars in the heavens. Had not one of the officers come up, they would certainly have murdered me. I was a Garibal dian, they said, and they wanted to revenge the imaginary assassinations of their comrades. The captain having ordered me to follow the column, I was obliged to do so, though I could scarcely walk. I begged him to send me to Capua at once, but he would not. "I am ordered to go up the hill," he said, "and I cannot detach any of my men ; besides, were I to abandon you, my soldiers would assuredly kill you. Follow me as well as you can." I shall always remember the pain I suffered during those four long hours. About 20 Garibaldians had also been taken prisoners by the sharpshooters into whose hands I had fallen. They, like myself, had been forced to exchange part of their cicthes for the coat and cap of the Neapolitans, and, thus dressed, we were ordered to march at the front of the sharpshooters. " You will thus have a chance of being killed by your own comrades," said a rabid Sicilian sergeant to me, when I remarked that such was not the manner in which prisoners ought to be treated. The marching column we were preceding by a few yard s wa c on s tantly fighting with Garibaldi's B ersaglieri ; men fell dead around us, and the scene was one o f t h e most distress ing that can be imagined. The Neapolitans, however proceeded very carefully, as men who wer e more earnest to , spare their lives than to perform their duty. Instead of heading them, the officers kept in the rear, perpetually shouting out " Avanti, avanti I" but never setting the ex ample. It is not to be wondered at if the soldiers, instead of obeying the order, scorned their officers, and abused them soundly, calling them cowards and worse. At about half-past ten o'clock, one of the lieutenants of the par two balls, only brave of f icer o f the column struck as balls, and fell mortally wounded at my side. H e was a fine young fellow of about one -and-twenty. I hastened to assist him, and implored the captain to allow me to dress his wounds with my handkerchief. The captain refused, i n spite of the entreaties of his wounded comrade, who begged me not to abandon him. I offered to give my word of honour that I would present myself at the Neapolitan camp as soon as I had brought the poor fellow to Gari baldi's ambulance, which was near at hand. All was of no avail. The wounded officer was hoisted on the shoulders of two privates, who, ten minutes afterwards, threw him into a ditch and left him. Nothing could exceed the disappointment of the Sardinians at the intelligence of the peace of Villa franca, and the demeanour of Cavour on the occasion is graphically described. " About 12 o'clock next morning Cavour and his secretary walked up again to Casa Melchiori with Count Nigra, the steward of the royal household, and General Della Rocca. Cavour knew by that time that the great sacrifice had been consummated. He was exceedingly ex cited : his face was scarlet ; and his manners, ordi narily simple and easy, were now marked by violent gesticulations, showing that he had completely lost his usual control over himself. General Della Rocca and Count Nigra endeavoured to calm him; but all in vain. The Premier every now and then took off his hat with the convulsive movement of a man whose feelings have been roused to the highest pitch of exasperation ; and the exhortations of his friends did little to calm the fury that possessed him." His interview with Victor Emmanuel was a stormy one. It was stated that his remarks were anything but respectful towards the French Em peror. He advised the King to reject the terms of peace, to withdraw his army from Lombardy, and even to abdicate. Indeed, it is said, and commonly believed, that his rage went so far as to induce him to use words which led to his dismissal from Victor Emmanuel's presence. His resignation immediately followed, but he was still indefatigable in his country's service. The author says Although the resignation of Count Cavour had thrown the Government of Sardinia into the somewhat less firm grasp of Rattazzi and La Marmora, the mover of the poli tical machinery was still the great Italian who had been forced by the unexpected peace to retire into private life. At his country seat of Leri, Count Cavour, though apparently occupied in the management of his own and his brother's estates, had as much to do as when his mind was officially engrossed with public affairs. From that spot, which stands in the vicinity of Tivorno, close t 3 the railway between Turin and Novara, Cavour pulled the strings and prompted the parts of those who were acting on the different stages of Central Italy, the drama of their country's resur rection. It was there, amidst the tranquillity of his farm, that he received or answered daily the telegraphic messages or letters sent to him by Farini, Ricasoli, Cipriani, Pepoli, or Minghetti. Cavour had no secretary to help him; his surprising activity and energy sufficed for all he had to do. From his boyhood he had learnt the habit of working hard. Fond of farming, he got up at three o'clock in the morning, and thus found time both for duty and relaxation. In a few hours he would despatch his letters and communicate with his lieutenants (for such, to a certain extent, were the rulers of Central Italy), after which he would receive his numerous guests and attend to the business of his estates. Sir James Hudson—a man who has done more for the wel fare of TnY country than any other foreign friend of Italy— was amongst the most assiduous visitors of Cavour. Com mendatore Nigra, Castelli, and a few others, were almost daily guests at the Count's country seat. If the able and patriotic men who directed the helm of public affairs in Central Italy have deserved well of their country, I believe they were partly indebted to the statesman who, in his re tirement, was constantly watching and gelding the course of events. Not that I mean to disregard the great fact that the accomplishment of Italian independence in those quarters has been the result both of the wisdom of the i p m eo m p e le di o a f te C r e ui nt e al rs. lt T al h y er th e e is ms n e o lv d es ou , b an t, d ho o w f ability of h that Cavour i was the very soul of that orderly and determined movement which has secured the desired end, and that it was mainly he who thwarted the intrigues of foreign potentates and diplomatists, such as the missions of Prince Ponialowsky and M. de Reziet—two active agents of Louis Napoleon. Even the recommendation to carry out with the utmost energy the armaments of the Central Provinces, and to appoint Garibaldi commander of the Central Italian army, was partly his. _ The second volume of the Count's work is devoted to the campaign of Garibaldi in the South—a cam paign undertaken in direct opposition both to Cavour and Victor Emmanuel. " A practical man, as Cavour was, could not have great faith in the result of an expedition which everybody thought at the time to be mere madness. He knew besides — and subsequent events have proved that he was not altogether mistaken—that even on the supposition of success, the annexation of the Neapolitan pro vinces would rather weaken than strengthen the newly enlarged Kingdom of Sardinia. ' Let us organise ourselves—let us have a strong army at our command—and then we can turn our eyes to wards Venetia and the South, and Rome will fol low,' was the opinion that Cavour constantly expressed when he was required to speak upon the subject of Italian liberty." The marvellous success which crowned Garibaldi's efforts is now matter of history. The account reads like one of the Romances of Chivalry. With an expedition of 1,000 men, he, in the course of one hundred and twenty-two days, conquered a kingdom. Although Count Arrivabene did not accompany the expedition when it first sailed, he joined it soon after it reached its destina tion, and has furnished a description of it complete in all its details, and of extreme interest. His re marks, too, on the characteristics of Southern Italian life are curious and entertaining ; whilst his views respecting his country's destiny are hope ful without being extravagant. His work will, we doubt not, conduce greatly to a right understanding in England of Italian affairs, as well as excite such sympathy for her cause as to materally aid her future career. THE SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVEST- MENT COMPANY. The report of the directors to the meeting to be held on the Ist of August states that the profit realised by the company's operations in the colony during the half-year ending Dec. 31 last is larger than that of the previous half-year, although trade has continued dull, and there has been no demand for rem property, and but a comparatively limited degree of activity prevailing in any branch of busi ness. The gross profit realised in the colony during the above period is £11,964 7s. 6d., to which must be added the sum of £B6l 13s. ld. received in Lon don for interest, transfer fees, &c., making a gross profit for the six months of £12,826 Os. 7d. A comparison of the accounts with those issued in the last report shows that the increase in the colonial profits of the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1861, over those of the preceding six months amounts to £1,031 ne. The whole of such profit has been derived from the ordinary sources of the company's revenue —viz., rents, interest, and commissions, and nothing from the disposal of property. The directors pro pose a dividend, payable on Thursday, the 14th day of August next, on the ordinary stock of the com pany, £200,000, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, which will require £lO,OOO and leave at the credit of the reserved fund £8,293 16s. 4d. In the last report your directors stated that a large tract of high table lands, admirably adapted for‘depasturing cattle and sheep, had been then recently discovered in the interior of the colony of Queensland, and that leases of these lands—now called "The Landsborough Runs," and consisting o 768,000 acres of fine well-watered pastoral land (capable of carrying flocks to the extent of at least 240,000 sheep), and 205,440 acres of an inferior description—had been acquired from the government on very moderate and satisfactory terms ; further, that the manager, 'with the well-considered object of securing to this company a first-class pastoral establishment, had obtained for them an interest of one-half of such leases—the discoverer of the runs retaining an interest of one-fourth, and the re maining fourth being divided in equal parts by the two gentlemen who have become the general super intendent of the establishment and the manager permanently resident on the runs. The directors now inform the proprietary that a good road has been discovered, and followed out by the resident manager, from this fine district of country to Port Denison ; that the cattle, with which it had been resolved to stock the rans to a certain extent in the first instance, will be placed on them well within the time stipulated by the Queensland Land Re gulations; and that the manager, owing to a favour able road from the locality wher e the company 's pastoral establishment will be situated to the port of shipment having been so readily discovered , and the advancing settlement of the pastoral districts of Queensland, promoted as it is by a liberal and in creasing supply of labour, anticipates even a mo re early stocking of the Landsboro u gh ru ns with sheep than he had previously expect e d would be found desirable or practicable. The discovery of th e roa d , as the manager observes , " stamps this investm ent ' with, so to speak, an assured value that is m os t s atisfactory." The resident manager arrived at Sydney from the runs about two months awg well, With an re ported that he left them looki ng and n eted o n a b u ndant supply of grass and water , his return almost immediately, Pen( * ) He y started t to super intend the conduct of a large numb er o f cattle to the runs. The footing thus gained in part of this rising col ony the northern seems to show that the company may expect soon to be able advantageously to extend their operations in that quarter. The PR1CE.....—..1d. STAMPED ....sd. directors have been enabled to issue a consiaera. They further amount of debentures. have placed up to the present time £1 J,296 of preference stock, anfl £88,520 of debentures for periods ranging from three to seven years (of which £87,670 had been received up to the 30th June last, and of ,in the accounts), making t o g ether £ 98 , 816 f sup plementary capital to be employed by the company in the colony, irrespective of the reserve fund. A portion of these subsidiary funds recently raised has ; been temporarily invested in colonial g overnment de bentures to wait the maturity of the manager's drafts drawn against it, and these securities cocam and higher , prices than they cost the company. Daring the firet quarter of the present year there have been signs of a returning demand for house property and land, though the manager has not yet reported any very decided change in any respect. The Lachlan Dig gings, however, were becoming increasingly pro ductive, and giving promise of much greater develop ment. The production of cotton also seems likely to supply the colony with a considerable accession of population, and a new and important source of industry. COMMERCIAL JUSTICE. The newly-elected judges of the Tribunal of Com merce of Paris were duly installed on Saturday last, and M. Deniere, jun., was re-elected President. On taking his seat the new President delivered a speech, in which he reviewed the proceedings of the Tribu nal during the past year, and afterwards read the usual detailed report, divided into three heads — judgments, bankruptcies, and trading companies— of which the following is a brief summary :—The number of causes remaining to be heard on the Ist of July, 1861, was 940, and the new ones introduced up to the 30th of June this year wore 74,190, mak ing a total of 75,130. Of these causes 43,570 were undefended, 21,302 were decided contradictorily, 3,882 were withdrawn, 5,604 were conciliated, and 772 still remain to be heard. The number of causes in 1861-62 exceeds those of the preceding year by 6,526. The Tribunal has heard 67 appeals from judgments given by the councils of Prud'- hommes ; of this number 35 judgments were confirmed, 8 quashed, 8 conciliated, and 5 remain over. The appeals to the Imperial Court from judg ments of the Tribunal were 860, which, with 667 remaining over from preceding years, make a total of £1,427: Of this number the judgments were confirmed in 463 cases, quashed in 144, while 207 were amicably settled without a hearing, and 814 remain undecided. The total number of bankruptcies declared in 1861-62 was 1,773, which, with the number remaining over from the preceding year, make a total of 2,944, of which 1,456 have been y n t w i g v e e fr l re y e r aysettled Bfol per. the Tehe en tp. totala y l m n e a n 2m t so o ui n f nstt d ap i n v a e i i d de s e i n tnh d t oe s rd d ae e nfi b gn t s the hands of the officers of the Tribunal during the last year was 8,561,515 f.

DUNDEE, July 22.—Telegraphic advices from Riga, received to-day, report a further rise in the price of flax there. This market is, in consequence, decidedly higher again, and a moderate business has been done at the advanced rates. The fine quali ties of tows are also dearer, and little now remains in first hands. Jute is for the moment quiet, as spin ners wait to see the result of the large London sales to-morrow. To force sales at present lower prices must be accepted. To-day the market for flax and tew yarns has been animated, and higher prices again paid. There is less activity in the demand for jute yarns, but prices are not lower. Linens of all descriptions continue in good request, and main tain their full previous value. LEICESTER, July 23.—There is a tolerable busi ness doing in the hoskry trade this week in most classes of goods, and the labour-market is more active than for some time past, although the ope ratives are by no means fully employed. • In the country districts business is becoming more buoyant. Yarns are extremely firm, and higher prices are anticipated ; in the meantime, spinners are pro ducing cautiously, There is not much doing in wools, and the market is without material change. NOTTINGHAM, July 23.—There is not much change in the silk lace trade. Business during the past week has been brisk in some branches, and as respects articles suitable for trimmings is likely to continue so at present. The unseasonableness of the weather has checked to some extent the demand for shawls. Quiltings continue in request. In cotton lace goods there is barely as much doing, the high price of yarns interfering much with busi ness. Several of the foreign houses are well en gaged, and the home trade in silk goods is fully equal to an average. There are no stocks on hand. The hosiery trade is without much alteration. There is something doing for shipment, and the home trade is not equal to an average. Yarns are firm, with an upward tendency. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The report and accounts of the directors have just been issued. The accounts for the half-year ending the 30th of June show the following results :—The amount of capital raised to June 30, 1862, is £10,341,418, consisting of ordinary stock, £4,620,000; preferential, stock and shares, £3,329,418 ; mortgage debt, £1,598,275 ; deben ture stock, £793,725. Total, £10,341,418. The amount of capital expended during the half-year is £208,620. The redaction in the rate of interest on the mortgage debt still goes on, and the amount of debenture stock issued has reached £793,725. The loans falling due at 41 and 5 per cent. have been renewed at 4 per cent., and the average, including debenture stock has been further reduced to £4ls 9d per cent. The gross revenue for the half-year has been £444,861, showing an increase 0fX23,482 over that of the corresponding half-year of 1861. Of this £12,006 arises in the passenger traffic, and the remainder from goods, tolls, rents, &c. When the continuous bad weather and the general stagnation of trade are borne in mind, the state of the revenue (says the report) will be con sidered satisfactory, particularly as the traffic of the Victoria Station and of the lines recently opened is far from being fully developed. The in crease in the ordinary expenditure arises chiefly from heavy repairs to the carriage and waggon stock. The traffic during the early part of the year admits the placing of the entire plant in the most perfect order, so as to meet the increased demands during the summer for the ordinary traffic, as well as for that in connection with the International Exhibition. A further sum 0f£6,000 has been charged in respect of compensations aris ing from the accident of last August ; and a some what similar sum may be expected to the debit of the current half-year, which will, it may be hoped, close that account. A further increase appears in the charge for dividends on preference capital, arising from the fact that interest in respect of the whole of the completed lines and works has now become a debit charge against revenue. The per manent way improvement account has been credited with the usual £3,000, and the relaying and fish jointing of portions of the coast lines and branches has been further proceeded with. The contractor for the Croy don and Balham line has not shown the energy which had been anticipated. At last, however, the works reached the state which enabled the usual notice to be given to the Board of Trade, and the opening may be expected with out further delay, when great facilities for both the through and the local traffic will be obtained. The completion of the West London Extension line has also been delayed ; it is , however, nearly finished, and will be opened as soon as certain companies interested s h a ll have been concluded. Th e enlargement of the Brighton terminus is completed. The works on the Pulborough and Ford line and the Little hampton branch are proceeding rapidly. The latter will, it is hoped, be ready for the traffic I of the approaching autumn. The bill for the en largement of the London -bridge Terminus has received the Royal assent. By another bill pro moted by th e company, and which has a l so rec eived the Royal assent, powers are obtained to for the constr uction of a line from New Cross 1 the Barrington - road , Brixton, where it forms a junction with th e line of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, which runs from thence to this company's line at Stewart's-lane, a short distance from the Victoria station, The bill con tains clauses granting to this company running powers over the above-named portion of the Chatham Company's lina, in exchange for similar powers granted to that company from the Barring ton-road to , of IDA laying downl ut the providing for the four lines of rail* whole distance over no wers Which such running r nies. have been granted to the respective eelnP4- Thus mea ns h ave b een prov id e d for carrying on the traffic of the two companies without interference or delay, white at the same time the more important London line object s are a tt a i n ed of forming a South (in connection from London-bridge to Victoria, and with the West London 1-'' and the North t h e railway circle round London lines) completing the metropolis.

MR. SIMS BEEVES'S CONCETT. This concert, which took place last night in Eeeter-h all, before an enormous audience, was in teresting for several reasons. First, there was a new cantata, by the most popular of our cmpesere, the remainder . of th e p rogramme b e i n g all of cecel aglent e q l ra u s a t Il withy, ta ; 1 1 then ne uemxnerc t o h un e t si r o e a lan \ d v o a hf s i g a e hv fi el y r r s y- t e - ffip r a i ee t i e ceen b , ta chorusd, whether t to gether ; - vocal or instrumental, was admirable—the solo singers, in addition to Mr. Sims Reeves, being Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mi ss Palmer, and Mr. Santley, the solo players Mr. Charles Hale and Signor Piatti. An ordinary entertainment, under so eminent a name as that of the concert giver, would have been out of the question ; but Mr. Reeves provided even more than was expected in variety of attraction, and delighted his numerous patrons with a selection of music which occupied upwards of three hours and a half in performance, and yet did not include a single composition of in ferior or questionable merit. The baud, directed with consummate ability by Mr. Balfe, gave Weber's overture to " Der Freischutz," Profeesor Sterndale Bennett's overture called " The Naiads " (which figured gracefully at the concert of our most distinguished nativesinger), and theWeddie gMarch of Mendelsschn. Mr. Halle played the "Andante and Rondo Brillante" in B minor (with orchestral accompaniments) of the last-mentioned composer, besides one of the " Wanderstunden" of M. Stephen Heller and a Valse by Chopin. The Rondo of Men delssohn—one of the first things he wrote during his early visits to this country—is, its beauty and originality considered, too rarely heard, and was therefore all the more welcome. Signor Piatti's choice fell upon the Sarabande and Gavotte of John Sebastian Bach, with which he has so fre quently charmed the very musical audiences that flock to the Monday Popular Concerts at St. James's-hall, and which, to judge from its recep tion, was no less suited to the vast " mixed assembly" gathered together within the less in viting walls of the Temple of Harmony in the Strand. To dismiss at once the miscellaneous vocal pieces—Mr. Stanley introduced " The Bell ringer" (W. V. Wallace) and "The Colle en Bawn" (Benedict), in both of which he ha s earned laurels repeatedly; Madame Lemmens Sherrington gave Maid Marian's scene, " Hail happy morn," from " Robin Hood" (Macfarren), and the variations on " Ah ! vous diraije, mamen ?" inserted by the late Adolphe Adam in his comic opera, " Le Taurador;" Miss Palmer sang Mr. Chorley's ballad, " When I was young," and Mr. Sims Reeves " My own, my guiding star" (" Robin Hood"), both of which were encored, the latter with an enthusiasm im possible to describe. Mr. Reeves—whose voice was never in more splendid condition, and who never seemed more determined to win distinction for himself and afford pleasure to his hearers — also gave " Gentle airs," one of the few familiar numbers from Handel's " Athaliah " (Signor Piatti playing the violoncello accompaniment), and, with Mr. Santley, the duet "All's well," from Braham's opera of "The English Fleet"—the promise of which once famous, now not altogether undeservedly obsolete, piece of circumstantial decla mation kept the large majority of the audience in their scats to the end of the concert, and, it is but fair to add, satisfied them that they had waited to good purpose. A line or two about "Mazeppa"—Mr. Balfe's new cantata—must at present suffice. The inci dents of the romantic story are well put together by Miss Jessica Rankin, whose verse, moreover, has the advantage of being unaffected and sensible. Mr. Balfe lies happily caught the spirit of the sub ject, and unquestionably added one more to his many artistic successes. The dramatis persons are four—the Count (Mr. Stanley), Theresa, his wife (Madame Lemmens Sherrington), Nita, Theresa's confident (Miss Palmer), and Mazeppa (Mr. Sims Reeves). Choruses of pages and attendants, in the first part, and of Cossacks,whenMazeppa's involun tary ride approaches its termination, make up the sum-total of the musical elements at the composer's disposition. The choral portions of the work, if not precisely the strongest, have the merit of being un exceptionally spirited and appropriate ; melodious they always are (or they would not be Mr. Balfe's); and in one or two instances—which, seeing that the cantata is tolerably sure of a wide popularity, we shall have opportunities enough of pointing out —attain that point of characteristic beauty best de scribed as " the picturesque." With this, of course, the orchestral accompaniments—in which Mr. Balfe exhibits more than his usual ingenuity—have a good deal to do. The solo airs are, for the greater part, in the composer's most agreeable and engaging style. Those allotted to the Count—" Oh, she was fair," and " 0 thou dear one, in whom I trusted"— are both good, the last, indeed, extremely beautiful. Theresa's one song, "I dream'd I had a bower so fair," in a more ornate and elaborate style, is marked by a grace and fluency peculiar to Mr. Balfe when he allows his pleasant muse to speak without restraint. Nita takes part in a duet with Theresa, and in a trio with Theresa and the Count —the latter a pretty trifle, beginning in the man ner of a " round." The best music, however, natu rally enough, falls to the most conspicuous and by far most interesting character. Mazeppa's first air She walks in queenlike grace"—is founded on one of the most charming melodies that ever came from its author's untiring p " Theresa, we no mor e shall meet"—is the a simple second-- c ond— a nd expressive ballad, conceived and accomplished in that style which, from the opening bars, unmis takeably reveals itself as " Balfian ;" third—" Once • again to life awaking," illustrative of an incident " i the • n Ride"—preceded by a very impressive recitative , while the and mixed up at intervals with chorus (the materials of which have a lready been used in the orc h es t ra l pre l u de at the be g innin g of the cantata), is perhaps the most g enuine of all. In addition to these, Mazeppa has a duet with Theresa ----" Ah ! why that face so full of care ?"—a favour able example of the composer's lightest and most ad captandum way of wr iting. The execution of the cantata, under the direction of Mr. Balfe him self—by orchestra, chorus, and principal singers— was, for the first performance of a new and not over easy ie e e wa work, s ap p in ev ery sense remarkabl e . Piece after p lauded with warmth and unanimity, and so loud was the uproar after Mazeppa's first air ( a She walks in queenlike grace") that, while forced to a pplaud Mr. Reeves for not wishing to interrupt the c ontinuous interest of the music by repeating an isolated portion to the detriment of the context, we think he might have yielded to the wishes of the audience and sung it again. Mr. Santley, too, was pressed with no less vehemence for a repetition of the Count's second air (" 0 thou dear one"), but, like Mr. Reeves, turned a deaf ear to the appeal.

At the . , end the composer was greeted dwith a pplause from every slue. On the whole the audience had every reason to be well satisfied with the sumptuous musical treat prepared for them by Mr. Reeves, who, on first ap pearing in the orchestra, was honoured with such an enthusiastic recognition as is only awarded to the most eminent public favourites. We ahauld have stated that Mr. J. ',Hatton played the piano forte part in Bach's Sarabande and Gavotte, besides accompanying two or three of the miscellaneous vocal pieces. 1 • on .ng net ody me of in- een and 7ith ;ea- ~ra~ irdi 'tied , Of atis- 'rath is to liEll
