Ail remittances are, henceforth, to be made to Mr. JOHN CHAPLIN, at The Sun ()Tee, 112, Strand, who has been appointed, by the Lord Chancellor, Receiver and Manager of The Sun newspaper, and the outstanding debts due in respect thereof. Another successful surprise by the Confederates, and this time a surprise of NPCLELLAN himself! A victory, the New York papers term it, for the Federals, but, in the accounts we yet have, it is a victory the very counterpart of that at Pittsburg Landing, or Shiloh, as the Confederates term it, near Corinth. A victory, because the Federals re mained, ultimately, on their lost ground, but a defeat, if it be measured by the loss of artillery, of field stores, and of life itself. The Confederates seem to be 'very clever at sur prises. Almost all their successes have been well planned attempts of this kind. BEAunEGARD's surprise of the Federal army at Shiloh was admi rably arranged—bad weather made him a day too late, or he would have captured the whole division. The attack on Franklin at West Point, in like man ner, would, but for the firmness of HEINTZLEMAN, and the coming up of the gunboats and supports, have been completely, as it was substan tially, successful. The attack on BANKS was very much of a surprise, and com pletely successful; and now again one wing of the army of M'CLELLAN was evidently taken by surprise and routed with great less in all respects. The good information easily obtainable by the Confederate Generals, while the North can obtain none, accounts no doubt for these successes. The whereabouts of every regiment of AI•CLELLAN's arm y is made known to the Confederates by the hostile inhabitants, and not only that, but the watch they keep, and the opportunities given for such surprises as these. We do not imagine that this affair will seri ously hinder M'CLELLAN. He may need to ob tain additional supplies, but he was always said to be superabundantly provided with everything. It is more likely to delay his operations for a few days, but quite likely, as in the parallel case at Corinth, to be followed by the evacuation of Richmond and the retreat southward of the Federal army to posi tions where it will be still more formidable. The whole tenor of Confederate fighting since the battles by which Tennessee was reconquered in the spring, seems to be that of making very able, and commonly successful, onslaughts on portions of the Federal army, and then retreating. Their retreats have always been successful. The Federals never heard a word of them till it was too late to interfere with the retreat. Thus Manassas, Yorktown, and Corinth were successively evacuated without loss, and the Federals found they had all their work to do over again under more disadvantageous circumstances. In all probability such will be the course at Rich mond. There are ample means for the Confede rates to move south, and they will probably not hesitate a moment, when it appears that Richmond is no longer defensible. The battle was fought with great desperation. The Federals confess to a loss of 3,000 killed and wounded, and we may be sure that loss is not under stated ; they add that the Confederates left 1,200 dead on the field, this may be an exaggeration, but is quite possible, only showing how resolute they were in the attempt to crush the left wing of the Federals, and so cripple APCLELLAN'S whole army. It is clear that, as at Shiloh, on the first day, the Federals had the worst of it, but that on the se• cond they compelled the enemy to retreat. General HEINTZELMAN again appears as the saviour of the Federals, They are much indebted to the Germans, who seem to make everywhere their best soldiers and officers. It is now affirmed that, after all the reports we have had of BEAUREGARD'S presence at Richmond, he never left his army at Corinth ! But whither he is gone with 60,000 men no one knows. Another romance of Monte Cristo, rivalling in some respects the interest attached to that penned by M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, has very recently been given to the world. It appears in a manner first of all rather surreptitiously upon the Italian Peninz sula—certainly not under the imprimatur of the Italian Government. Its hero is one Mr. WATSON TAYLOR—ite heroine being, of course, that gentle man's " better half," to wit, Mrs. WATSON TAYLOR. The work hero referred to—or rather, perhaps we ought to say more correctly, the piece of work here referred to—is understood to have been dedicated in a left-handed manner to the glory of General GARIBALDI, Though we should hardly imagine that that illustrious man would think it calcu- lated in any way to redound to the same —or, if he had had the choice, would ever have accepted it. The evil genius of this new romance of " Monte Cristo " not by ALEX ANDRE DITMAS—at any rate, the supposed evil genius whose footsteps are imagined to hare dogged the hero of the narrative through all kinds of "hair-breadth 'scapos and perilous adventures," is presumed to have been no other than her Britannic MAJESTY'S representative at the Court of Turin, Sir JAMES HUDSON. This, accord ing to the interpretation put upon the incidents of the plot, and the motives of the characters by the various reviewers or commentators who have now pronounced their opinion upon the new translation of the whole story into our own vernacular—a trans-' lation very carefully revised and corrected under the rather questionable editorship of Mr. CADEN DISA Collating the text of Mr. BEN 'Mimes version of the story with the original, and "raining both under the light of the diametrically °PPoeite opinions upon its merits expressed last night iv y the conflicting critics in the British House of Comm , to 0 n ,, , doubt We are at l eng th ena bl e d, w i t h out get in real earnest at the English of it ,all. And the English of it all is simply this—A Mr. GEO. GRIEME WATsoN TAYLOR, an English gentle manas ever di d the celebrated Dr. eccentric tastes, one wh o has apparently gone forth as determi n edly of S Y NTAX, of COMBE , "in search of the Picturesque," " found the Picturetq u ~ apparently e he was in acs,roh o f in Monte Cristo and bought it. Air.T A/LoR ' has now for some few years, in fact, been u. .., 1 ,,,,,_ prietor of the whole island of Monte Cristo. There —as completely as ever did ALEXANDER SELRIRR. on the island of Juan Fernandez—he (Mr. T AT .. LOR) has for several years pgst been " monarch of all be surveys." He was 20 at the corn. mencement of the Italian Movement. He was owner of Monte Cristo when GARIBALDI quit ted Genoa with his little band of followers and made sail for the shores of Sicily. Nay, even before that--when the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the other princelings thereabouts threw their cards up in despair, and, giving up the game as lost, fled into the Austrian camp. j Immediately after the annexation o f Tuscany—to the rule or which archduchy the possessor of the island of Monte Cristo owned allegiance as a suze raine—Mr. TAYLOR, the married Crusoe of that ilk, is said to have uttered words of a seditious character in reference to the new lord and master of Tuscany, the King of SARDINIA, then fast expanding into the King of Italy. Mr. TAYLOR, of Monte Cristo, is said not only thus to have raised his voice as a rebel against the authority of VICTOR EMMANUEL, but to have actually shown fight against the soldiers of that Sovereign. Charged with this offence—Mr. TAYLOR, and with him, Mrs. TAYLOR, passed before the Criminal Court under the jurisdiction of which the island of Monte Cristo happens to be, the Criminal Court at Elba, in the small capital of Portoferajo. Thither, at least, Monsieur and Madame should have passed—only they thought better of it : or worse, as the event seems to have proved, in their regard at least. Instead of duly appearing and making their defence there before that Criminal Court at Porto ferajo, Mr. and Mrs. - WATSON TAYLOR absented themselves. Judgment was thereupon, as a mere matter of course, pronounced against them by default. The sentence of the Court being that Mr, WATSON TAILOR should have eighteen months, and Mrs. WATSON TAYLOR (upon the score, we presume, of her being the prin cipal offender and a particular strong-minded woman to boot, one with, so to speak, a bone in her wrist and a tongue of more than ordinary volubility) twenty-one months' imprisonment. Bad enough that apparently : but even that turned out to be not by any means all the evil consequences of their insubordination. Monte Cristo, Mr. WATSON TAYLOR'S island estate, having been quitted by him _ - and his ectra sposa, as rather too hot for them under the circumstances, was invaded by the bold and buccaneering crew who had previously seized upon the ship Orwell—a crew in effect of red shiz ted and avowed Garibaldians. The latter yielded to the temptation before them, seized the cash of the flown birds, sacked Mr. TAYLOR'S house, went looting, in point of fact, all over Monte Cristo. Everything was fish that came to their net—even the little ima ginary bronze casket enclosing Mr. WATSON TAYLOR'S "rights as an Englishman." That casket each of us may be said to own—sealed with the seal of the great SOLYMAN, bearing upon it the grand Palmerstonian device, Civis Britannicus sum ! Claiming compensation for the damage done to his goods and chattels, Mr. WATSON TAYLOR has ever since then been seeking, and hitherto one cannot but see quite clearly, in vain, redress at the hands of the Italian Government. Now, before another syllable be written upon this latest romance of "Monte Cristo," it must be quite manifest to everyone from the "plain unvarnished tale' , that has here been told, that there are two perfectly distinct cases or questions that ought to be taken into account sepa rately. The one in which Mr. TAYLOR is the offender, or the reputed offender ; the other in which he is the victim of an offence perpetrated by a party of Garibaldians. The charge preferred in the one case is that of sedition, in the other it is that of pillage. And if once it be borne in mind how entirely apart from each other the two occasions ought to bo kept, in order to arrive at a just judgment in their regard, it will be all the more easily appreciable how dire would become the con fusion caused among the minds of mere spectators by jumbling them up together. This is just exactly what was done yesterday in the House of Commons upon the motion introduced by Mr. C. BENTINCK, but after a long and stormy discussion withdrawn by-that gentleman. Opinions could hardly be more divided than they were. A consideration of the same facts gave a totally different impression to those who viewed them from the opposite sides of the House. It was like the wrangle again over the colours of the chameleon—the battle about the shield of ebony lined with gold. Quite a party con tention arose all about the island of Monte Cristo and its owner, Mr. WATSON TAYLOR; about Sir JAMES HUDSON and the Foreign-office; about General GA RIBALDI and the Italian Government. Mr. BEN TINCK fell foul of our Ambassador at Turin. Mr. LAYARD, as in duty bound, defended him right loyally and to the very uttermost. Mr. KINGLAKE thought that the unlucky proprietor of Monte Cristo had been dealt with rather too harshly, and abandoned at home here by the " powers that be" rather too cavalierly. The Solicitor-General, on the contrary, considered Mr. TAYLOR to have been undeniably blameworthy ; while the Ch ance ll or o f the Exchequer, still earlier in the discussion, declared his conduct to have been highly indiscreet and he himself to have been alto gether wanting in anything at all like circumspec tion. Several others members having besides this spoken energetically from a party point of view, some resolutely pro, others obdurately con—the debate (not by any means the least interesting debate that has taken place this session) cannot but be considered to have terminated in the highest degree satisfactorily, with a statesmanlike explana tion of the whole difficulty by the Prime Minister. An explanation which elicited an earnest eulogium from Mr. DISRAELI upon the truly English spirit, dictating the closing remarks which had just then been addressed to the House by Lord PALMERSTON. Those observations of the Prime Minister of England, we cannot but believe will result, before much longer, in Mr. TAYLOR, of Monte Cristo, receiving compensation for the injuries he has undoubtedly suffered from ; a compensation that would be all the more magnani mous coming to him from the Government, against the authority of which he himself had, as we have seen, originally rebelled, the Government that is of King VICTOR EMMANUEL. Lord PALMERSTON, it will be remarked, ven tured to express a hope, last evening, that the Go vernment of the King of ITALY might, upon further consideration, and more particularly after 'the ex pression of sympathy which had been elicited in favour of Mr. TAvLoa from both sides of the Eng lish House of Commons, be induced to take an entirely new view altogether of the career of that ill-starred, and, certainly, also ill-advised English man. Mr. TAYLOR, as owner of Monte Cristo— Lord PALMERSTON acknowledged —had certainly suffered a grievous loss: and for that loss—the Prime Minister acknowledged this also—Mr. TAYLOR may not unreasonably look for compen- sation. The decided tone of the Government last night in regard to mediation in the American civil war, will be regarded with satisfaction by all who concur with us in the opinion that it would probably be useless, even if offered by France or Russia, and worse than useless if ofiered by England, Lord PALMER STON bad but a very brief official reply for Mr. HoPwooro—the English Government had received n eAnA N ic , at ly i:is from France on the subject, and did not intend to offer mediation between the con tending parties. mu L m o o r ro d eur ß eixt u spe s ll s i ELL, replying to Lard spreading of the r and distinctly asserted that nfceilitit.kheelryll to oa d t d h o o wm u egi mischief, suede e , an y overtures to the French Government on the subject, nor had the French Ambassador here re ceived any instructions in reform:3e to it. H e a dd e d that be considered the present ti me specially inop- , portune for any such proposals. He gave no opinion on the propriety of offering mediation at some future time, but believed that in the present embittered state of feeling on both sides, such an offer might interfere with good results from any made at a more propitious time, should such occur here after. The Emperor of the FRENCH, who doubtless authorized the putting forth of the feelers which appeared ili the Constitationnel, La Patrie, and other journals, has now therefore his answer, so far as England is concerned. He is told not only that we do not just now recommend mediation, but that we think it likely to do more harm than good and to interfere with successful friendly proposals here after. If he acts he must act entirely alone. Lord RUSSELL would not, probably, even add a word for humanity's sake, recommending the French offers to the notice of the Federal Government. 'We believe he is quite right. The Yankees might treat the CzAR and the EMPEROR with bare civility in their reply, though for this we would not vouch, but they are quite as likely to give a very haughty answer. More than half a million soldiers, and numberless millions of paper money which as yet floats very near the surface, have so exalted their conceptions of Northern strength, that even from fa voured Autocracies such as France and Russia, the nation of nineteen millions of Autocrats will hardly brook a word of caution. The day for effective intervention passed when the blockade of the cotton ports was permitted. That permission was right by international law. The law of necessity was not pleaded against it; and Europe must now look patiently on and seek in the East a compensation for the vanished trade of the West. The proclamation of General BUTLER at New Orleans, which was brought before both houses only to receive their emphatic condemnation, is itself an illustration of what renders all attempts at mediation almost absurd or ridiculous. Both Lords PALMERSTON and RUSSELL expressed them selves as became our representatives in the eyes of foreign nations, on the atrocious proclamation. We confess that for some time we thought it must be a hoax, as Gen. BUTLER is about one of the indis creetest of the indiscreet among the Federal generals. His proclamation in regard to slavery when he first went to the Gulf of Mexico was, even we should think, intemperate ; but we had not sup posed him, or any man holding the position of a General in the United States army capable of such a foul revolting brutality, as this proclamation. The Federal Generals and soldiers when they got to Nashville, in Tennessee, though the men were sullenly quiet, had to suffer all kinds of insults from the ladies—even to being spit upon from the windows, and the pavements. But they bore it like soldiers. We must believe that the milder interpretation of this order, which Lord PALMER STON branded as infamous, is not the true one. It ran that "if any lady by word, gesture, or move ment" insulted any Federal officer or soldiers, " she should be held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her vocation." That means, say the General's apologists, that she should be locked up in the Calaboose—the common gaol—but it is denied that any law to lock up "unfortunates" exists at New Orleans any more than in London. Were it so, the locking up of respectable ladies with the worst of their sex, would itself be outrage enough. We believe, however, that the General's meaning is far worse—that his threat was meant to be understood as one of surrender to the brutalities of the rowdies of the North who compose his little army. It is remarkable that Lord LYONS, in sending this infamous order home with BEAUREGARD'S comments in it, was not able to send information also of the light in which the Federal Government regarded it. There was no delay in proclaiming the PRESIDENT'S disavowal of General HUNTER'S Abolition Proclamation, but we are left in doubt whether Mr. LINCOLN at once repudiated an order which will be read with execration throughout the civilized world, and which will be regarded as a disgrace to the profession of a soldier by every army in Europe. We are not warranted, however, to imagine that Mr. STANTON and the PRESIDENT can have overlooked this order, so disgraceful to the Northern Army. Indeed, BEAUREGARD'S comments on it shew that it will do more than even Abolitionist indiscretions to rouse the spirit of the South. The latter attack what they call their property ; but General BUT LER'S despatch threatens the honour of their wives and daughters, and for what —for daring to show, in feminine modes, their irreconcileable aversion to subjugation by the North. with offers combatants ofifghti mediation, ngwit is h such to hfeee expose p h o g s s e , t V c ontempt.

The deter mination to be independent is now fixed, and medi ation on the basis of re-union to the North, would be impracticable, even if both the great armies of the South were defeated—which seems, however, yet to be a distant event. .! !*•• pe,...,._..„.1 A.•*/,.a r , - , 4 . 01i, *, :;,.7 .z .

BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND. ARRIVAL OF THE SCOTIA. The Scotia, from New York, arrived at Cork this morning, bringing the following advices:— NEW YORK, JUNE 4. The following despatch from General M'Clollan was received by the Secretary of War on Sunday-- "FIELD OF BATTLE, SUNDAY, JUNE 1, NOON. " We have had a desperate battle, fn which the corps of Generals Sumner, Heintzelraan, and Keyes have been engaged against greatly superior numbers. " Yesterday, at 1, the enemy, taking advantage of a terrible storm, which had flooded the valley of the Chickahominy, attacked our troops on the right flank- General Casey's division, which was in the first line, gave way unaccountably and dis unitedly. This caused a temporary confusion, during which the guns and baggage were lost► but Generals Heintzelman and Keyes most gal lantly brought up their troops, which checked the enemy. At the same time, however, I succeeded, by great exertion, in bringing across Generals Sedgewick's and Richardson's divisions, who drove back the enemy at the point of the bayonet, cover ing the ground with his dead. " This morning the enemy attempted to renew the conflict, but was everywhere repulsed. We have taken many prisoners, among whom are General Pettigrew and Colonel Loring. Our loss is heavy, but that of the enemy must be enormous. With the exception of General Carey's division the men behaved splendidly. " Several fine bayonet charges have been made; the 2d Excelsior Regiment made two to-day. " GEORGE APCLELLAN, Major-General Commanding." The battle was not renewed on Monday or Tuts day. General M'Clellen, at the date of the list despatches, was within five miles of Richmond. It is doubted whether General Beauregard, a'ter evacuating Corinth, returned to Okolona, as origi nally reported. A portion of General Pope's command tom np rails and destroyed the bridges at Booneville, on the Mobile and other railways, on the 29th, below Corinth, preventing his retreat in that direction.. The main Vody of the Confederates, under General Bragg, are believed to have retired upon Grand Junction. General Fremont, by a series of rapid forced marches across the mountains, has reoccupied Stras burg, in the Valley of the Snenandoah. General Siegel has been placed in command at Harper's Ferry. A Federal detachment has occupied Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas. OTHER TELEGRAMS.' NEW YORK, JUNE 3. (Per Scotia, via Queenstown.) A very severe engagement occurred on Saturday and Sunday before Richmond. M'Clellan officially reports from the field of battle on June 1 : " Taking advantage of a terrible storm, the enemy attacked our right flank yesterday evening. " General Carey's division, which was in the first line, gave way unaccountably and disunitedly, and caused a temporary confusion, during which the guns, baggage, and waggons were lost. But Gene rals Heintzelmann and Kearney gallantly brought up their troops and checked the enemy, and at the same time, with great exertions, we brought across two more divisions, who drove the enemy back at the point of the bayonet. " This morning the enemy attempted to renew the conflict, but were everywhere repulsed. " Our loss was heavy, but that of the enemy must have been enormous." According to 'Washington despatches the Federal advance is considerable, and the army holds a bet ter position than it occupied previous to Saturday's battle, The New York press consider the engagement es a great victory for General M'Clellan. General Fremont, by forced marched from Frank land, has reached and occupied Strasbourg. General Jackson is retreating before him. NEW YORK, JUNE 3 (EVENING). Mobile papers of the 26th ult. state that the Federal Fleet had passed two batteries on the Stone River, and was within eight miles of Charleston. A portion of General Pope's command has reached Bonneville, destroyed the railroad track, and cap tured a large number of prisoners. The correspondent of the P. ew I ork 7imeB affirms that the Federal attack on Mobile is postponed until the return of the Federal fleet from the Mis sissippi expedition. It is stated that the Confederates were moving troops from Corinth during six days before they evacuated the place. They did not leave a single gun, and toDk away everything, including their sick from the hospital. None but aged inhabitants were left behind, who stated that Beauregard's army at one time numbered over 60,000 men. Beauregard did not leave Corinth for Richmond, as was reported. Where he has taken his army to remains a mystery. The New York press strongly approve of General Butler's stringent measures towards the New Or leans press. NEW YORK, JUNE 4 (Morning). Associated press despatches from M'Clellan's headquarters, dated the 2d inst., announce that the Federals have regained all the ground lost by General Carey. The Federal loss in killed and wounded amounts to 3,000. Over 1,200 Confederates were left dead on the field. All the Confederates left Richmond previous to the engagement, and marched out in the direction of the battle-field. The latest despatches affirm that the Confederates were unable to rally their troops, and retreated towards Richmond. The Federals have moved for ward to Fair Oak, five miles from Richmond. Some Federal despatches assert that the fight of Saturday and Sunday seals the fate of Richmond. " The enemy threw' the main body of his army on our left wing to crush it, and were defeated after two days' hard fighting and forced to retreat." It is rumoured that Mr. Seward has proposed an amicable settlement of affairs between Gen. Butler and the Dutch Consul at New Orleans. The con ditions are not stated. The Neap York Her ctld asserts that the State autho rities of Indiana fully connived at the fraudulent issue of stock. The dimensions of the fraud are not yet ascertained, but the amount is supposed to be incredibly large.. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, NEW YORK, JUNE 3 (Evening). Money easy. Gold 31 per cent. premium.

The Constituziotte of to-day says that Garibaldi addressed the people on his way through Gallarate. Ile stated that regretable discussions had taken place, but added :—" The discussions are only in dividual differences of opinion. The populations, keep themselves aloof from them, and have one sole object in view. The essential point is that all who desire the independence and greatness of the country should remain united." MADRID, JUNE 13 (Evening). In the Cortes to-day the discussion on the Mexi can expedition was continued. Senor Rivero considered the withdrawal of the Spanish troops from Mexico as an abandonment of the interests of Spain. Senor Coelho believed that many inconveniences would be found in supporting a dynastic policy in Mexico. He approved of the alliance with France and England, and thought that if General Gasset had been in command, the expedition would have advanced to Mexico. FRAN CE.

Sardinian Austrian Lombard HERR MOLIQUE'S CONCERT. Herr Molique, the eminent composer and violinist, gave his annual concert yesterday afternoon, assisted by his accomplished daughter, Madlle. Anna Molique, Madlle. Paropa, Miss Palmer, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, M. Paque, Mr. Carodus, Herr Goffrie, Signor Randegger, and Herr Joachim. The first piece in the programme was Herr Molique's musicianly and beautiful quartet in B flat (Op. 42), played to perfection by the author and his colleagues MM. Carodus, Goffrie, and Paque. The other pieces from the pen of Herr Molique were three characteristic melodies for the violin, " Bolero," Consolation," and " Rural Scene ;" all delicate and refined inspirations exquisitely wrought as poetically conceived, and executed with unsurpassable elegance and finish by the composer, with a grand duo concertante for piano and violin, one of Herr Molique's most important contributions to the very limited repertory of modern concerted chamber music, which received ample justice from the hands of Herr Joachim and Miss Anna Molique' who also distinguished herself most honourably in Beethoven's sola sonata in 1) minor, Op. 29. The various contributions of the vocalists were duly appreciated, and M. Paque's rendering of Schubert's "Lob der tbranen," elicited hearty demonstrationg of approval. Signor Randegger officiated as con ductor with remarkable skill and taste. HERR HALLE'S RECITALS. The " Beethoven recitals" of Herr Halle continue to charm all who have a taste for the truest and deepest beauties of music ; and as amid all the pianists who at this actual moment claim notice of patronage there is not one who so constantly upholds the great masters, particular praise is due to Herr Halle beyond that merited by his fine playing. It being quite impossible for such works as the sonatas of Beethoven to be thoroughly felt and understood by the general public without several hearings, Herr Halle, strong in faith and untiring in zeal, is repeating the entire series, the execution of which last season brought him so much credit with the art world of London, and contri buted so materially to the improvement of public taste. It is only by constant repetitions through a long series of years that works like " The Messiah," " The Creation," and " Don Giovanni" have become universally popular, arid by similar means only can the sonatas of Beethoven be brought home to every heart and mind. The day when this "consumma tion devoutly to be wished" arrives will be a great day for art, and it will be no small satisfaction to Herr Halle to reflect that he has taken so active and honourable a part in accelerating its advent. Herr Halle, who seems to be playing this season better if possible than ever, delighted his audience yesterday afternoon by the per formance of two of the most completely Beetbovenish of the Beethoven sonatas, namely, the "Pastoral," and the so-called moonlight sonata, both of which were given with all that mechanical per fection and genuine expression by which Herr Halle's efforts are invariably distinguished, and, as we thought, more than his usual fire and energy. In the other sonatas introduced on this occasion the pianist was equally successful, and thoroughly deserved the enthusiastic applause bestowed upon him. MISS STEELE'S CONCERT. Last evening Miss Steele gave a concert at the Hanover Rooms. She took part with Mr. Tennant in Rossini's duet, "Ah se dei mali miei," and Mozart's, " Sull' aria," with Madame Lemaiens- Sherrington ; she also sang Mozart's "Al desio," and BPnedict's "In my wild mountain valley," and in each instance proved herself to be a well-trained and tasteful performer. Miss Steele was very warmly applauded in all her efforts, and the duet " Sull' aria" was redemanded. A similar compli ment was paid to Mr. Santley's expres sivel y beauti ful execution of a new and eminently graceful ballad, " The magic of the flower," composed ex pressly for him by Mr. Henry Smart. Enthusiastic applause was likewise bestowed upon Madame Lemmens•Sherrington's delightful rendering of Gounod's "Air des Bijoux," and Herr Joachim's wonderful performance of Bach's immensely diffi cult " chaconne" in D minor. The other g enuine successes of the concert were gained by Mr. Tennant, Herr Kuhe, Herr Lid e l, Mr. Lazarus, and Mrs. Merest. The rooms were well attended. ALMACK.S—Tho first subscription ball on Thursday night proved that the ladies patronesses had not ver-estimated the interest which these balls have inva riably maintained. There was a full attendance, and the reunion preserved all the peculiar characteristics which belong ezclui6i Poly to 41.1 u THE LANCASHIRE RELIEF FUND. The committee of the above fund met yesterday at the Mansion-house. The Lord Mayor took the chair, and the following gentlemen were present :--- Mr. Cotton, Mr. Morley, Mr. Lycett, Mr, Barber, Mr. Armitage, Mr. Howse, and Mr. Dilberaigne. Mr. Gibbs reported that he received grateful thanks for and receipts of the twelve grants forwarded las t week, and he also reported that he had received a satisfactory reply from the parish of All Souls, Manchester, and had accordingly forwarded the £25 as directed by the committee. Of the total contributions £4,725 had been already forwarded to different townships where the distress was most prevalent. An application was read from the honorary secretary of the local relief committee for the townships of Enfield, Oakenshaw, Great Har wood, Rishton, and Huncoat, comprising a consi derable population. There were 1,176 wholly out of employ, and 1,460 were only employed from two, three, or four days during the week. An applica tion from the clergymat. of Birch, near Middleton, was received, stating teat the population of his parish were almost entirely of the poorer class, and out of a population of 1,500, for whom he applied, 600 were wholly unemployed, and the residue were employed half or quarter time. An application was likewise received from Walton-le-Dale, which comprises a population of about 5,250, 400 of whom are entirely out of employ, besides a large number of handloom weavers also wholly unemployed, and about 1,000 were working short time. The Rev. J. C. Kershaw writes a very earnest appeal on behalf of the above parish, and states that his parishioners and friends had placed at his disposal the sum of £270, by which he had been enabled for a time to give away 5,000 quarts of soup twice a week to those who had large families or most in need. He had also been able to give away 1,400 tickets for bread, flour, meal, 8:c. ; and, further, to show tho local efforts that had been made, he stated that a number of men had been employed, at the rate of two days per week, at ls. 6d. per day, in clearing land for the erection of new schools. The fund was now exhausted, how ever, and he applied for some assistance from the committee of the fund. An application was also received from Harpurhey and Collyhurst, comprising a population of 3,000, one-third of which were wholly out of employ, and a third only partially employed. These applications were severally con sidered by the committee, and it was resolved that the following sums should be forwarded forthwith : —To the local committee of Enfield, &c., £100; Birch, £75 ; Walton. le-Dale, £75 ; Harpurhey and Collyhurst, £lOO. The committee, in consideration of the continued distress in Hyde and Dukinfield, resolved to send a further sum of £lOO to each of those places. An application was received on behalf of the parish of St. Thomas's Red Bank, Manchester, and Mr. Gibbs was desired to write for further statistics, and in the event of receiving a satisfac tory reply to forward a cheque for £lOO, making a total sum of £650 granted since yesterday. CLOSING MEETING OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS. The proceedings of the Association were brought to a close at the evening meeting in Burlington house, over which Lord Brougham presided. The Secretary read the report of the Coancil, giving a general review of the papers and discussions in each of the sections, and expressing thanks to the various societies and official persons who had given assistance to the Association during the course of the meeting. In respect bath of the number and importance of the papers communicated, and of the large attendance of members, the present meeting is pronounced to have been brilliantly successful. The Association has received invitations for next year from Newcastle-on-Tyne, between which it remains for the Council to choose. The noble Pre sident, in moving the adoption of the report, ob served that there had been an addition to the roll of members of a hundred more than at the Glas gow gathering, although there was on that occasion a considerable increase ; and that, owing to the extra expenses which had this y ear been incurred, there was a deficit, to the liquidation of which he trusted the friends of the society would promptly contribute, Mr. H. Roberts, F.S.A., seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks to Lord Brougham, as president, was passed, on the motion of M. Gamier Pages, seconded by Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., withacclamation, the whole assembly rising to do honour to it. Hearty thanks were also voted to the other officials, and, above all, to Mr. Hastings, the hon. secretary, upon whom the burden of the arrangements has mainly devolved, and who, as Lord Brougham observed, has dis charged his onerous duties wiih the greatest energy, judgment, and temper. THE FRENCH BUDGET. Three reports have been presented on the French Budget, the discussion oil which is to commence on Monday, and is expected to last eight or nine days. It results from the first of those documents, pre sented by M. Leroux, and relating to the general Budget of expenses and receipts for 1863, that the ex penses, which originally amounted t0,1,729,897,877f., can be reduced to the sum of 1,720,271,078 f., being a reduction of about 10 millions in all. Owing to that reduction the increase of the Budget of 1863 over that of 1862 will now be less than 62 millions. The committee has effected a reduction of about 18 millions in the extraordinary Budget, which in the original bill amounted to 138,870,0001. The final surplus of the ordinary Budget of 1863 is fixed at the sum of 8,360,044 f. The second report, presented by M. Segris, is relative to the special provisions of the sundry taxes comprised in the Budget of 1863. Respecting the duty on salt, the committee proposes to modify it by suppressing the two first paragraphs and replacing the third by the following reduction :—" The tax upon salt intended for the manufacture of soda is reduced to seven francs the 100 kilos. for the year 1863. The salt will be delivered to manufacturers under the condi tions imposed by previous regulations." The thir report, drawn up by M. M'Quin, relates to the sup plementary credits for 1562, in which also certain modifications have been effected, but as those re ductions refer to matters which are passed, they scarcely possess as much interest as the credits relating to the future. The Debats, after a general summary of the principal changes proposed in the three reports, says : The report informs us that the committee, " hot withstanding itsrepugnance to re-establish a tax so recently abolished," has been forced by the financial necessities either of the rectified budget of 1862, or of that of 1863, to mainta in the increased duty upon sugar. Th e committee also accepts the in crease of the rate of stamped paper , , and the mea sures proposed relative to certain acts of procedure. Lastly, the committee and the Council of St a t e h ave agreed to abandon the project of exemption, which was to have been applied to five millions o f th e smaller taxpayers. While recognising the gene rous intention of that project," says the report, " the committee asks if it is really the moment to show itself liberal, when it was easy to f oresee t h e necess ity of imposing considerably increased sacri fices on other taxpayers, who are in much larger number, and of whom many are not less worthy of interest and solicitude."
