CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The advices received this morning from the ma nufacturing districts state that little improvement Has taken place in the general state of business during the past week. At Manchester there bad been a fair inquiry for cloths suitable to the Indian market, but buyers operated with extreme caution. Some kinds of cloths, however, such as narrow shirtings, &c., were camparatively neglected. Less business has been done at Leeds than for some weeks past, and the purchases have been confined chiefly to small quantities of best goods. At Hali fax the worsted trade continues quiet ; at Bradford piece goods have been in fair request at fully late values, and there is an impression that the lowest point of depression has now been reached. No improvements can be reported in the lace and hosiery trades at Nottingham and Leicester. Buyers for shipping have operated to a very limited extent, and the demand for home consumption is still considerably below the average of former seasons. The iron trade at Birmingham has shown symptoms of improvement but prices have been injuriously effected by large public sales of bankrupts and insolvents stocks. The jewellery trade of the town remains dull, but in the other branches there is a slight improvement. At Wol verhampton large contracts for iron for the East India Company has just been given out, and there is a better demand for the finer qualities. The orders from the United States are still very circumscribed aud. are understood to have been taken at lower rates in most instances. Business at Sheffield still continues in a very depressed condition with little prospect of an improvement at present. At Norwich- there has been a rather active business transacted. The Mills for spinning yarns have been in full operation. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed heavily, and prices of all 'descriptions were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 500 for export. The Railway Share Market manifested a quiet appearance, and quotations tended downwards. On Saturday the 2,000,0001. Exchequer Bonds were paid off, and the amount thus released will no doubt temporarily augment the supply of money - - - for 'general purposes. The inquiry for discount accommodation continues limited for commercial - enterprise, but as trade is reviving it is expected that • greater employment will soon be found for the accumulated means now awaiting investment. Last week there were numerous pay ments to be made, which increased the inquiry, but an they are•now completed the market has resumed its previously quiet appearance. The terms con tinue below the minimum by fully 1 per cent., and -while this is the case no important accumula lion of the " other securities" is likely to be ex ,.llihited in the weekly returns issued from that establishment. About 120,000/. in gold was taken from the - Bank on Saturday, and the movement is now be coming rather serious. _Vb . .) arrivals announced to-day include the Colombo, from Alexandria, with 12,1471. in specie ; the Africa, from New York, with 8001. ; and the Avon, from the Brazils, with 36,0001. The market for Public Securitiespresents a quiet • and rather heavy appearance, the drain of gold from the Bank having intimidated the operators for a rise, whose transactions have lately produced . .10. much buoyancy. In addition to the unfavour able effect of speculative sales, disturbing politi cal rumours accompany them, which, though riot generally credited, increase the prevailing Weakness. - After all, however, the variation in Prices is unimportant, and a few large purchases ',Eight produce a general improvement. Consuls have been 974 1 and 971 1 for money, and 97f 1 acid 974 4 for account. The New Threes and Reduced are 9611. March Exchequer 13;11s, 40s. to 435. , prem. ; do. June, 375. to 40s. ; and India Debentures , Yoreige Stocks are quieter, and the dullness of the Funds has caused a little depression.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and other Peers.) APPEAL-EIPPEN AND ANOTHER T. DABLEY AND ANOTHER. The further hearing of this important appeal was re sumed this morning, at half•pa•t 10 o'clock. It will he recollected that this is an appeal from a decision of the Lords of the First Division of the Court of Session in Scotland, after consulting with the Lords of the Second Division of the Court, finding the respondent, Mrs. Ed miston, entitled to a double portion, 5,0001 provided to her by her father's marriage contract, and 4,0001. by her father's trust deed, to the exclusion of her younger brothers and sisters, unmarried, who were limited to a single portion, or annuities only. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., was heard in reply for the ap pellants, and concluded his argument by asking that the decision of the Court of Session be affirmed with costs. Their lords.hipe having consulted together, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. APPEAL-VICKERS AND ANOTHER V. POUND AND ANOTHER. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., was tieing heard for the appellant. It is prob tble that the hearing of counsel in this case will occupy the whole of the day. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat; nevertheless, all kinds mot a slow inquiry, At about previous rates. For barley, the show of which was only moderate, the demand ruled heavy, but all other de - ,criptions of produce were in fair request, at very full currencies. Throughout the continent wheat has demanded rather more attention of late, and spring corn supports former terms. American advices are flat. Only moderate sup plies of home-grown produce came fresh to hand last week. The imports were large, viz., 19,517 quarters of wheat, 13,327 barley, 51,834 oats, 6,418 rye, 24 beans, 2,095 peas, 10 tares, 1,000 linseed, 5,615 rapeseed, 50 sundry seeds, 2,812 sacks and 12 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise, the arrivals of wheat were on a very moderate scale, and the receipt from all other counties were limited ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices were ls. per quarter in favour of buyers, notwithstanding that millers generally hold only light stocks. We were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary. Good and fine samples —in which, however, very little business was doing—were held at full quotations. Other kinds ruled heavy, and to have forced sales lower rates must have been &übmitted to. Float iog cargoes of grain off the coast met a fair demand. Malting barley suppo, ted former terms, but other kinds were a slow sale, at barely late rates. Fine malt sold steadily; other kinds slowly, on former terms. The supply of oats—chiefly Irish and foreign—was very large, an i the oat trade was heavy, at is per quarter less money. Beans were in short supply, and fair request, at full prices. In pas, about an average business was transacted, at last week's currency. Flour moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL afEASURE.

Full average arrivals of home-fed beasts were reported fresh up this morning. The quality of most breeds was very good. The beef trade ruled hea ry, compared with Monday last, and prices were, consequently, 2d per Sibs lower than on that day. The highest value of the beat Scots was 4s 4d per Blb., and some very prime oxen sold at 4s to 9s 2,1 per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,800 Scots and short horns; from o•her parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 100 Scots; and from Ireland, 5 I oxen of full average weight. About an average time of Year supply of sheep, mostly in good condition was on offer. For nearly all breeds we had a steady, though not to say active demand, at fully last week's currency. The best old Downs, out of the wool, sold at 4s 61 per 81bs. Lambs—the show of which was moderato—were in fair request at full prices, viz., eiv to 7s per Sibs. About 400 came to band from the Isle of Wight. Although the supply of calves was,by no means extensive, the veal trade ruled heavy at 4d to 6.1 per Blbs beneath last Monday's quotations.

(Before Lord Cani e bell, Lord Cniefßaron Pollock, and Sir C. dressw . ell, Judge Ordinary.) This was the first day since the passing of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act, that the full Court has eat for decreeing dissolution of marriage. It will be recol lected that the old mode of proceeding was by act of Parliament, after an investigation bebre the House of Lords. NORRIS Y. NORRIS AND GILES. This was a petition on the part of the husband, a so licitor, residing at Tenburv, Worcestershire ter, a disso lution of marriage, on the ground of adultery by the wife with the co-respondent, the Rev. Mr. Giles. It appeared that petitioner was married on let July, 1847, to his wife, a lady cf great personal attractions, and niece of Lady Holmes of Newport, Isle of Wight, and they lived happily together till March, 1857. About Christmas 1556, Mrs. Norris was recommended to go to her aunt's at Newport, Isle of Wight, for change of air, and her husband accordingly took her there, leaving her in her aunt's house. He returned to Tenbury, and they corre sponded together till March. On that 'occasion her aunt's butler banded her a letter, after which she in foruied that lady that she ioust return home. Accord ingly she left, the butler seeing her safe into the coach, by which she was to return home ; but she failed to do so, and nothing was heard of her til December last, when it was discovered that she and the Rev. Mr. Giles were residing together as man and wife at an hotel near St. Paul's-churchyard. They left there, and then resided together for some time a, Vauxhall. The Rev. Mr. Giles was curate of Tenbury, where he became acquainted with the applicant and his wife, but nothing appeared between them to cause the husband to entertain any suspicion of his wife's fidelity towards him. The petition was filed in January last, to which both respondents entered an appearance, but no one was present to defend the suit. After bearing evidence in support of the above facts, Tile Court decreed a divorce. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.) RIMER V. BEGGE.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages of the defendant fur false imprismauent on charge of felony. It appeared from the evidence that Captain Cotton, who has a residence at Fulham, aud also one in the Isle of Thantt, let the former residence to Signor and Madame Mario (Madame Grisi), Captain Cotton undertaking to provide a gardener to keep the garden in order, and find all the necessary seeds. The defendant was a friend of Signor Mario. At the end of last autumn the fruit was very plentiful, especially the apples, and Captain Cotton desired the plaintiff, who was the gardener, to dispme of them. He disposed of a bushel and a-half of them, on which he was given into custody, and was examined before a magistrate at Ham mersmith Police-court ; but on the statement of Capt. Cutt n, that he authorises) the plaintiff to sell the apples, the case was dismissed. After bearing evidence, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, by consent, for 10/, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - . (Before Mr. Commissioner Gon!barn.) IN RE LEWIS AND LEWIS. To-day was appointed fur the last examination of these bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers in High-street, Marylebone. The balance-sheet, prepared by Men- rs. Hart Brothers. comm,nce., Nov., 1856, and ends March, 1853, shows — Dr., to creditors, 1,282/. ; to ditto to be paid in full, 150/. ; profits, 2421. ; capital brought in by Lewis, 4001. Cr.—By good debts, 60/. ; property, 148/. ; trade ex penses, 5711. ; house expenses, 454/. ; losses, 460/. ; deficiency at the commencement of the balance-sheet, 337/. The bankrupts passed without opposition. IN RE READ. This bankrupt was described as of Lower Wbiteero6e street, packing-cae maker, and today was appointed for consideration of his certificate. From the account by Nlessrs. Hart Brothers it appear.. that he owes to creditors 1,636/., and to ditto holding security 564/., creditor by good debts 280/., property 67(1., ditto in the hands of creditors, 800/. Mr. Lawrance opposed for the assignees, and Mr. Bagley for the defendant. The bankrupt was subjected to a rigid examination as to the disposition of his property, as on previous exami• nations it had been proved that some portion was handed over to meet an accommod4tion bill, but which had beer, returned to the assignees. ... The case was proceeding, but likely to occupy a con siderable time. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—rhis Day.) LONDON, May 10. —Wind this day at noon, E.; moderate breeze, and cloudy.

Thus, while the Mel bourne merchants have been able to reply to the January lettere, those of Adelaide have only been in a position to answer those of December, again, as on several pre vious and consecutive cases, losing a course of post. Sydney, also, was iu the same dilemma on this occasion. The financial position of the colony is shown to be sound. The balance in the treasurer's bands at the close of the year was 225.2261., according to the returns issued by , the Government of the colonial revenue and expendi ture. Commercial matters presented a more favourable appearance than might have been exp, cited, considering the depressed state of trade in the adjoining colonies. The harvest was got in well, and reported as fully an average crop. Large consignments of wheat and flour were being made to England, India, and the Mauritius. The yield of minerals was increasing. New mining localities were being opened up, and the mining interests generally were Resuming great activity. Coal is reported to have been discovered at Copio, near Port Lincoln. Telegraphic communication between Adelaide and Mel bourne was expected to be opened throughout in the course of April.—Mining Journal of May 8.

Roberts delights, as usual in his gorgeous architec tural interiors : No. 14 representieg the high altar l of the Venetian• Church of "San Giovanni - e Paolo;" No. 159 "The Basilica of San Larenzo ;" No. 366 that of "San Giorgio Mazgiori ;" and No. 485 "The Ducal Palace of Venice." Mr- Stan- . fi ld's quartett of seascapes consist of No. 18, " Old Holland ;" No. 141, " The Fortress of Savona" ; No. 359, '" The Castle of Ischia ;" . and No. 497, "The Hollands Diep—tide making"H the lasitof these, delicious to look at, radiant, re freshing. • Among the younger contributors Mr. Wallis this season wins less than we had hoped be might have done upon our admiration. His de lineation in No. 462 of "Henry Martin, at Chep stow Castle," though thoughtful througltout, is not by any means, to our - fancy, satisfactory ; runt while N 0.562 is a powerful artistic c , ntribution t - . wards the realization of one of the' political day dreams of Louis Napoleon ' namely; "The Extinc tion of Pauperi sm ;" No. ni 9, "Sir Walter Raleigh in the' Tottier" - is anything rather than worthy of the painter of - the library of Montaigne, or of the death-bed Of Chatterton. - The little child blowing bubbles in the dungeon, while his captive father is engaged there .writing his-History of the World, is but indifferently contrasted With R deigh himself, who gazes up frciat ' liii student-labours with a look rather Of vacancy ' than of abstraction. Mrs. E. 'M. Ward ' allows her artist ambition to take a higher fright than even in No. 360, pourtrayiug an incident borrowed from Hepworth Dixon's Life of . 4ohnsHoivard, i to wit 'he great philantbrvist's "Farewell to England;" - when he took . leave of his tenants (h Umbl - vidagers) at Co.rdington. Frank Stone,• leaving for once - his charining Sentimental Prettinesses, gives us in No. 204, "The Missing Boat (Pas de Calais)," a very beautiful seaside picture, full of animation and ten derness. It is altogether, both in gendine natural feeling and in the vigour of its execu• ien, among tee very best things his artist-hand has yet pro duced. Mr. G. Jonei, R.A. , adds another to his already numerous illustrations of the heroic ctreer of the - conqueror of Scinde. No. 210, depicts, , atter the usual fashion of our veteran war-painter, (with marvels in the shape of smoke and flame, and granite) the famous destruction of the Fortress of Emaum Ghnr—the memorable explosion effected on the 15th of January, 1848, under the direction of the chief engineer Major Waddington, of whose deed of daring Sir William Napier has written with his iron stylus, in his annals of the C 'inquest ef Scinde—" It was a grand action ! He would have lone better to have - reserved his heroism for a greater occasion—hut it was a grand action !" From which casual mention of the name. of our great military historian—the British Livy of the Peninsula—may we not cast one cursory glance here for a passing moment down into the cool deals recesses of the half subterranean chamber of the Academy, to which the handiwork of the Sculptors of England are annually doomed on the opening of the May Exhibition. There in . No. 1181, will be found on its appropriate pedestal an example of the ,rotean genius of this honoured and venerable Master at once in Arts and Literature. This is no thing less than a classic bronze statuette, represent ing in a heroic form, with the garments nearly burnt off it and the barbed arrow sticking deep in the side—het?; et lateri lethalis arundo —the tragic " Death of Alcibiades." To the title of which noble work of art as worded in the catalogue, will be found appended the name of Lieut.-General Sir W. Napier, a name which will, of course, be there perused with surprise by those not previously acquainted with the fact that this eminent man, distinguished simultaneously .i as' the brother and biographer of the Conqueror df Scindi, arid as the far-famed historian - of the 'wars of , the Peninsula, handles not less deftly the brfish or the painter, the tools of the modeller, and the pencil of the draughtsman, than the pen of the aunalist, a pen that has long since written upon tablets more enduring than bronze, (ere perennius. Toe inci 'lent here, however, recorded by him in animated metal is precisely the very incident we might sup pose a Napier thus gifted with the sculptor's art would hare selected for commemoration. It is an occurrence, moreover, eminently worthy of being thus commemorated. It will be remembered as the event transpiring shortly after the Athenian genii. era luarai.hulcni. when ' ht, took i e ruge -..bv i tit Pharnabazus, and when certain hireling assassin., having previously fired his house, slew him with darts while he was attempting to escape—his death occurring in the full vigour of his manhood. From the first glance at the statuette, it might be sup posed to represent a mere ordinary athlete or gladiator—but on looking at the features more closely, there may be recognised ' the !comely, though distorted lineaments of the Once prosperous as well as superb and princely Alcibiades. Re turning to the pictured walls upstairs in the warm and cheerful daylight—our attention is caught while passing through the North Room, an apart ment chiefly devoted to architectural drawings and designe, by a painting in many respects as grace ful as it is instantly recognised to be ambitious and Attractive. It is No. 1104, by E. Crowe--a pic ture suggested to the artist by a charming incident described in the last volume (xvi., p. 405) of Household Words. It occurs in an article entitled "Stepping Stones," in the course of which the writer has brought once more into the light of day a buried fragment of a forgotten correspondence. It is the portion of a letter addressed by Sir Charles Wogap to Dean Jonathan swift :—"I had the honour of bringing Mr. Pope fr'om our retreat iu' the forest of Windsor to dress, ii la anode, and in troduce at Wilt's Coffee-house." Admirably has the artist realized the scene of Pope's introduction to Dryden. The picture would assuredly begeme popular if reproduced, as it deserves to be, in the form of an engraving. Horsley's double painting— coupled in one frame—No. 350. "Flower Girls, Town and Country"—will be examined by every visitor to the Gallery this season, or we are much mistaken, withnothing short of genuine delight and Admiration. The contrast is perfect, and it is ex quisite: the fresh, riant, lovely, blooming flowers, faces, atmosphere, in the " Country," where young girls and younger children are gathering prim roses and bluebells—the care-worn, prematurely wrinkled, and mournful features of the bouquet sellers at the door through which are crowding the quaint and motley figures of the masqueraders. A distinguished young artist, who has given extra ordinary promise in his contributions to the last two or three of these annual exhibitions at the academy, J. M. Carrick, presents to view upon its walls this year, as it will be remembered by many he did last season, not simply remarkable promise, but high and great achievement. One work of his alone will be found in the present collection, but it is a work worthy of him—No. 847, "Near Great Marlow, Bucks, '—a work worthy of a painter whose teaober is Nature, whose studio is the green countryside—one who, at least in spirit and affec tion, lays his brush upon the canvass as tenderly, and, it might be said, even as reverently, as ever Paganini laid his marvellous bow upon the violin. Mr. Carrick has again demonstrated, through the dyes taken from his palette—that it is, with a true artist's eye, with that of a poet hardly less than with that of a painter, that he surveys whatever scene may attract his admiration, detecting with the instinct of genius all the hidden beauties of a landscape. Another single picture, from the hand of another artist of rare accomplishments—No. 564, `Milking Time in the Mountains, near Dolgelly, North Wales," by H. B. Willis, demand. , a glance, and something more than a passing glance, of de lighted admiration. It is a pastoral view that might appropriately be selected as a vignette for the Georgics. It recalls to mind, as we gaze at it, that dulcet couplet of Gay's in the first canto of his charming "Rural Sports" : " When the big-udder'd cows with patience stand, Waiting the strokings of the damsel's band." As already intimated, we may observe again, in reference to another and a very distinct department 01 the Exhibition, that embracing irs ample s" l ° of Portraits—the walls of the Academy for 1838 are, if possible, more abundantly supplied than even with effigies of wvll-known, or more frequently nameless, Ladies and GeLtlemen. The pre-emin et co of retained respectively among the portrait painters our time by Sir J. Wat,on G ,rdon and by Mr. Grant we took occasion to signalize in our first notice of the present year's remarkable collection. A few among their contemporaries compete with considerable credit to themselves in the same ap parently simple but in reality very difficult branch of the profession. Apart from its mei its as a picture from the life (taken at the p er i o d of his Excellency's s o j ourn in England ilis„li 13 rcthraariatetaer, as a mbassador) ' 6 Jung ahadoor cannot but b painted in 876., by T. Brigatock, ex amined with lively interest— r epresenting as it does the magnanimous and heroic Prime Mi n i s t er o f Nepaul, who is now so nobly assisting the British army in India at the head of 10 ,000 Ghoorkas. Another portrait of interest is one representing, in the form of a pretty little snub-nosed ureh'n, the gr"clacjil.a:al4h°4l6 t t ut A ur l e pin - Sadand - thelboYfliitince htf rul-r of th. gyptiaik As - 16 illte•rious unknown fignting away upon the walls broad cloth a•, d broader .

Of the ladies—to whom as we write we raise id token of houiage the bumper of ink id — our stand dish —we would wish to speak' '.*ith all be fitting respect and admiration. Happily in doing so we should be paying rather a regard to truthfulness than to mere courtly. gallantry. The flattery, if there be any, rests with the artists and not with the spectators. Some of ,the fair feces here depicted are really exquisite in their loveliness. Many .of them are obvionily life. life. Most cf them are strangers to . the roXXot, or, as we express it, the many-headed. A few will be recognisl , tl ,upon the instant by those familiar with the purlieus of Mayfair in the height of the season : among the portraits BO recognised, for exaniple,— being N 9. 'l9l. rtrph e Most Noble the Marchioness. of London derry." Glancing aside, however, from the por traits—who that 'has visited tha Academy ibis year has not paused again and yet again in wonder and delight-before one of the most ex• raordivary of all remarkably pictures in the collection, the work of an acknowledged ant renowned master in the art, No. 10i. J. F. Lewis's " Kibab Shop, Scu tari, Asia Minor"—the pie ure with that cane trellis-work screen in the window through the Meshes of which are caught - glimpses of the all but dancing foliage' of the trees beyond. The pic ture, with the oriental fowls clucking and pe:tking in the foreground--the wonderful microscopically depiced foreground with its littered 'morsels of grain and greenmeit. Sauntering through the room appropriiited,to the 'display of drawings and miniatures, we find an old favOurite to the public, T. Carrick,• as well representea as ever by the pro ducts of his refined and delicate pencilnot the least interesting of his eight brilliant m niatures being No. 675, " Hon. Thomas IL Peteree of New ueswick," who we are told; was " one of the last, if not the last, survivor of the Royalists who left the United Staten for the British provinCes after th. American war of Independence." Mathew Noble, contributes downstairs, in. the sculpture-room— four additional evidences of his artistic genius —con spicuous among these being No. 1162,-his "Pre paratory model for a colossal bust of H.R.H. the Prince Consort, to be executed in marble for the city of Manchester." Four works, too,.from the hand of another sculptor, of very, rare accomplish ment, deserve, or rather demaoct a careful exami nation, last but not least •of tbese either in value or importance being No. 1327, a monu mental medallion, nobly and exquisitely de signe It would hardly be fair to an artist f rising fame to pass . again, out. of the doors' of the Academy without awarding one pas,ing sentence of commendation to H. O'Neill's worthiest work of all—yet—no. 384. "Eastward Ho ! August 1857"—the farewell of some soldiers on a Transport Ship (away for the war), from their wives, mothers, sister'; sweethearts, children I It is a painting full of tender feeling—one that it would be difficult to view without emotion—so true is it to the heart-brimming, eye-moistening reality. As a corollary to which picture, there is No. 531. " Retribution," by E. Armitage, absurly mis printed in the catologue Miss K Armitage. A colossal Britannia grappling a Bengal Tiger by the throat with one hand while preparing with the other to plunge the avenging steel to its heart— the Tig-r raging in its impotence, Britannia gigan t c and irresis'ible. Tempting us to linger at:llin comment over the collection there are of course other attractions, such as, the angelic child-faces of Sant, the broadly humorous drolleries of Solomon, that bewitching maternal picture of Cope, No. 52. " Upward Gazing," the delicious portrait landscape No. 67. the "Ford across the river," painted by Ores wick, with Cuyplike Cattle straying orer the stream, from the pencil of Sidney Cooper, the bril liant Baltic View of Carmichael, and the Ruth of Pickersd:ll. Enough, however, has here, been said in our third summary of this splendid Academy Collection, R.EAR °BERNIER'S MORNING CONCERT. • This concert took place on Saturday morning at Willls's Rooms, and was attended by a crowd of fashion able visitors, who appeared to thoroughly' enjoy the beautiful music, provided for them. The concert may be considered as being essentially an instrumental one, for the vocal portion was of minor excellencs, while the performances on the harp, violin, violencello, and eon certina were of a high-class character, and eminently satisfactory. The 'opening - tHO,Toi and violencello, was played by Herr Oberthtir, Here Janes, and Herr Lidel, with great brilliancy and finish; and the sweet airs in "Lucia di Lammermoor" never received more able treatment. Miss Freeth gave Mendelssohn's " Pr,lude and Fugue in E minor." as a solo on the pianoforte, and exhibited considerable promise. Her style, at present, evinces more power than delicacy, more ekillin manipulation than refinement in rendering; but these are virtuous faults in a young pianists, which time and experience will doubtless soften. The steadi ness and accuracy with which she gave the Fugue move went merited the applause it received. 'A solo on the violoncello by Herr Lidel, illustrating Rossini's en trancing theme, "Cujus Animam," was among the most conspicuous of the performances. Herr Lidel possesses the valuable qualification of clear,. fall, and perfect "tone," seldom striving after electrifying effects, but satisfying those nice and educated ears which prefer sound musical expression to florid execution. A harp solo, by Herr Oberthiir, was very exquisitely played, and his imitations of gushing water in " La Cascade" was charmingly sweet. .The Nocturne, for three harps, by Miasea Chatterton, Vining, and Freeth, was given with spirit, eliciting warm applause, which the young artists richly deserved. Signor Rsgondi, on the con certino, exhibited great precision of toudb add fluency of execution, and in his duet with the violoncello created con-iderable enthusiasm. The concluding arrangement of Irish melodi e s for harp and piano was brilliantly given by Herr Oberthtir and Miss Freetb, and the whole conceit went off with successful eclat.
