Professor Tommaso Minardi, long recognised throughout Italy as the first judge of Raphael in this country, and well-known throughout Europe, declared at a glance, not only that " there could not be a shadow of a doubt (non poter asservi l'a»tbra diun dubio) as to its authenticity," but that it stood conspicuous for its style, beauty, and sub ject among the works of Raphael. He much pre ferred it to the renowned " Vision of Ezekiel " (a work of the same dimensions) in the Pitti Gallery at Florence, and unreservedly endorsed all Mr. Morris Moore's criticisms upon it, as regards merit, date (1505-6), &c. In Mr. Morris Moore's visitors' book he has inserted : " Tommaso Profre. Minardi sorpreso, maravig- Hato quanto non puo esprienersi all' aspetto di in aspettata Opera del Divicio Artefice Raffaello, Apolloe Marsia." (Translation.) " Professor Thomas Minardi surprised, amazed beyond the power of expression at the sight of the unexpected performance of the Divine Artificer Raphael, Apollo and Marsyas." A PRECEDENT FOR VOLUNTEERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—An acquaintance of mine, who commands a company of volunteers in a rural district, observed to me the other day that it is very difficult for the members of a volunteer corps in the country to find time to drill, not being able to give them selves conveniently a half-holiday during the week, as the citizens of a large town can. Ac knowledging the difficulty, "referred him to an act passed in 1803, which, as far as regards England, at any rate, authorised and enjoined the drilling on Sundays, either before or after Divine service, of the entire male population between 17 and 55 years of age, capable of bearing arms, with some few excep tions. The following is a brief extract from the act in question—viz., 43d Geo. 111., c. 96, intituled— " An Act to enable his Majesty more effectually to pro vide for the defence and security of the realm during the present war, &c., and to exercise his ancient and undoubted prerogative in requiring the m ilit ar y serv i ce o f hi s l i ege subjects in case of invasion of the realm." " Clause XXVII. And be it further enacted, &c. And such deputy lieutenants shall cause such men to be t rained andexercised two hours at the least on each and every Sun day, either before or after Divine service, or on some other convenient day in the week in England, or on any con venient day in the week to be appointed in Scotland, be tween the 25th day of March and the 25th day of December in every year, and cause public notice of such time and places of exercise and training to be given in the churches or chapels of the respective parishes during Divine service, and to be affixed on the doors of such churches or chapels," &c.—Your obedient humble servant, , W. Royal Unit e d S erv i ce Institution, July 9, WRECK OF TUE SAPPILTRE. We are requested to state that of the persons wrecked last October in the Sapphire, near Torres Straits, the follow ing have reached Port Curtis in safety:—lt. Western, Captain Madras Native Infantry, England; W. Beve ridge, mate, Scotland ; John Walker, Dublin; H. J. Samp son, Mudgee, New South Wales ; Thomas C. Clarke, Bir mingham; W. Reid, Scotland; J. Crawford, Ireland; Mitchell, Corfu; J. M‘Denmole, Liverpool; and R. Law, American, picked up from lifeboat. The following are missing : —John M'Kinlay, from Greenock ; Joel Bowden, Plymouth ; Joseph Watson, Dub lin; Charles F. Schmallfuss ; David Dougall, Greenock; John Conquest, Sweden; William Warren and Ebenezer Tibby, England , Isaac Devereaux, Wales ; John Morris, Dablin ; James Allian, Saltcoats, Scot land ; Charles Campbell, Elgin ; Jubus Julif, London ; William Twig, Glasgow ; William Charleton, Newcastle; James Connell, Cork; Michael M'Kenna, Ire land ; and Henry Armstrong, England. The persons on board the Sapphire left her in two boats, one containing Schmullfuss and all the survivors except Law, and the other containing Law and all the missing persons except Schmallfass. The boats parted company, and were both attacked by savages. In one Schmallfuss was killed. In the other there can be no doubt that all on board were murdered except Law, who threw himself into the water, and was eventually picked up by the boat which escaped. ST.ATI OF TRADE. some LEICESTER,des it OlnuslYoflhlO—sierry, e b re u t is a business fair demand generally remains qui e t ; still, for the time of the year, there h is nearly an a verage amoun t o f b us i ness d o i ng , an d for most good workmen meet with employment. In the country-districts the hosiery trade is for the most part quiet. Yarns are high in price, and rates will doubtless keep up, as all descriptions of work command extreme prices. NOTTINGHAM, 11th.--The continuance of sea sonable weather favours the home demand, and, although the improvement is slight, yet more will be done in goods suitable for the summer if the fine weather continues. There is a fair business doing in plain goods (foundation nets), and some fair orders are in the course of completion in Mechlin quiltings. The cotton fancy trade has improved, and orders are being received for this class of goods. There is a slight d emand for certain descriptions of silk goods. Manufacturers are keeping down stocks as much as . practicable; a good deal of ma chinery is still standing, and many lace makers are out of employ. The hosiery tradeis quiet, and the flatness which has characterised the trade for several weeks past continues, consequently employment in many branches is scarce. THE GALWAY LINE.—GALWAY, Wednesday.— Last evening, as the Connaught was about to sail, a stop order from the London office arrived, and a telegram was afterwards received from the Post-office, stating that the mails had been sent from London at 9 o'clock. The mails arrived in Galway to-day at 2 o'clock, were at once put on board, and the Connaught sailed for St. John's and Boston. Tile Admiralty agent returned to Dublin yesterday, came back to Galway, and was ready to take charge of the mails, but he received notice from the Post -office that he need not ao out. of the troops, is looked for hourly. These vessels with the Niger, Iris, and Elk, still at Manakau and Auckland, make a total of five ships of war.. From the Pelorus there were landed en Thursday (the 26th) 60 blue jackets and 40 marines, and from the Cordelia 30 blue jackets and 20 marines, and extensive prepara tions were at once commenced for a move against the rebels, and at early hour on the follow ing morning the blue jackets and marines at Mount Eliot, 150 in number, struck their tents and pro ceeded along the Omata road, They were followed by 30 carts laden with camp equipage, ammunition, stores, provisions, &c., &c., and two 24 pounder howitzers, and four 8-pounder field pieces, with 40 artillerymen. The carts were driven by armed militia and volunteer rifles, in number about 50. The 65th started about 8 a.m., an imposing force consisting of 500 men led by Col. Gold. The Royal Engineers under Capt. Mavis numbered 20 men. Until that morning the destination of this expedi tion was unknown to many, and we hear that it is intended to invade the territory of the Taranakis, and attack them in their stockades where they are at present. At 11 a.m. the forces had crossed the Waireka Valley preceded by an advance guard of the 65th. We hope soon to hear of active opera tions against the rebels, and the news is most anxiously looked for. Invading the territory of the insurgents is the only means of putting a stop to marauding parties—in this case they will have enough to do at home, and will not spare men to come upon such errands. It is to be hoped, says the Herald, that the destruction of the pas and pro perty of the Taranakis will be complete and wide spread—a fitting retribution for immense losses we have sustained at their hands, whereby many families in moderate affluence are rendered penni less and homeless. (From the Taranaki Herald, April 21.) The powerful reinforcements which have already arrived from Australia withi n th e time expected have enabled the military authorities at once to act on the offensive ; and early yesterday morning a strong detachment of the 65th, under Col. Gold, and of blue jackets and marines of the Pelorus and Cordelia, under Captains Seymour and Vernon, R.N., with artillery, started for the south. The route was at first a secret, and to the last moment Waitara was believed, though otherwise stated, to be the point of attack. The combined force is the most formidable that has yet been concentrated upon any one point in the colony, and needs but an enemy to contend with. Let us but hope the rebels of Taranaki and Ngatiruani may be tempted to give it a meeting. The invasion of native terri tory may probably precipitate matters with the northern tribes. Be it so. The force which the misconduct of our own natives has aroused can neither remain stationary nor unemployed; it is, moreover, apparent that the former intend against all warning to take the wrong path the sooner, therefore, the bl ow i s struck the better, though we confess we should have preferred to see this done elsewhere in the first instance. THE GOVERNOR'S ACCOUNT OF THE WAR. (Front the Afaori Jlfessengei• Extraordinary, April 2.) Native Secretary's Offices, April 2, 1860. His Excellency the Governor has.been pleased to direct that the following statement of recent occur rences at Taranaki be published for general infor- THOMAS H. SMITH, Assistant Native Secretary. It is with deep regret that we have to announce to our native friends that two tribes in New Zea land who have received the light of Christianity, and enjoyed the instruction of the missionaries, have recently committed an act of atrocity such as has not been known since the dark days when they were ignorant of the precepts of the Scriptures. It is known to all that Wm. King refused to recognise the right of certain men to use and dis pose of their land as seemed good to them ; that he was unwise enough to build a Pah on the land purchased by the Governor from these men, and that his people have been driven out of this Pah with considerable loss. This is, however, alto gether a separate matter. Lation. Wm. King is a chief, and he did not make war on the unharmed and the helpless. He said his quarrel was with the Governor and the soldiers, and if the settlers did not molest him he should not molest them. But the men of the Taranaki and th e Ngati ruani tribes, being anignoble people, came up to New Plymouth. They had no quarrel With the Governor or the settlers, but they Would destroy the settlers and their property, and slay the un armed and the helpless. They did not come to help Wm. King to fight with the Queen's soldiers about the land, but only to rob and murder. The Governor did not believe that any men who had received the light of Christianity would do this. On the 17th of March, however, these evil-minded men came near New Plymouth and there they found three men whom they murdered foully —they did not kill them in fight for they were unarmed, but they murdered them cruelly and b arbarously, as none but slaves would do. Not satisfied with this, they murdered two boys—children, helpl ess an d innocent. The Governor was wroth and was preparing to take vengeance, but he waited until all were all assembled, that he might strike a great blow. The next day, however, he heard that a clergy man and his family were remaining in the country, and he sent a small party of men, 340 in all, to bring them away, fearing that murderous slaves would not r espect even the ministers of religion. The Taran a kis and Ngatiruanis seeing a small party go, divided into two parts, fell upon th em and hoped to destroy them one and all. But the settlers and the soldiers fought like men having a good cause, and the sailors came; a captain and 60 sailors, they saw a Pah, threw a rocket or two into the P a h and made the hearts o f t h ese ev i l men quail for fear —the wicked are always cowards—then the sailors rushed into the Pah ad destroyed all in it party outside kill e d who Were fighti ng , an d the When the Governor first determined to bring matters at New Plymouth to an issue, he ap plied to the Australian Governments to know whether he could have reinforcements from thence ; but it was not until the crisis had arrived, until hostilities had actually been com menced, that the reinforcements were sent for. With a commendable alacrity the Australian authorities have spared all the help they could and far more than was contemplated. Certainly not more than 400 or at the outside 500 bayonets were expected and one or two vessels of war ; but they have sent about 800 soldiers, and all the men of-war on the station, excepting a surveying ship and the Colonial armed steamer Victoria. An Auckland cotemporary mentions Major General Pratt as likely to leave Melbourne and take the chief command; but this wants confirmation. Yesterday week (the 23d) H.M.S.S. Cordelia arrived in the roadstead, accompanied by the City of Sydney steamer, having on board the following troops, which were landed in the course of the afternoon ;—Royal Artillery-1 captain, 2 cor porals, 3 bombardiers, and 3d ,Privates. Royal Engineers-1 corporal and 5 privates. Com missariat Department deputy assistant Com missary General Dunn. Ist battalion 12th foot —1 captain, 2 subalterns, 1 staff officer, 7 sergeants 2 drummers, 9 corporals, and 117 rank and file with 2 24-pounder howitzers, 2 9-pounder guns, and 6 mortars, and a large amount of ammunition. Wednesday brought H.M.S.S. Pelorus, and the City of Hobart steamer, with the remainder many more who were fighting there. It is not known bow many are killed in all, but the follow ing are the names of certain chiefs who are known to be killed and wounded : TARANAKI min E.—Paora Kukutai (the leading chief), Paratene Kopara, Purere Pakak, Taraia of Taranaki, Tahaua Ngeu, Hatawera, Wata Tineia (a -Waikato), Hapurona. NGATIRUANI".—This tribe sustained great loss. Chiefs killed. —The Auataua (principal chief of the tribe), Israel, lla‘ni. A great number have been lost—killed and se verely wounded. The numbers cannot be estimated except the following : Wounded—Paringa Kingi, badly; Hohapu to Rata, do.; Te Teweti to la, do. ; Arama Karaka, Waipata, Mohi Tewai raonga, Te Koweti, i n the arm ; a boy of Manahi's named Kere, a Ngatiruani, in the neck; Te Kariri, a Ngatiruani, in the leg ; Wi live, do.; Horomana Taburangi, Paratene to Kamanga. The above are chiefly of the Taranaki tribe ; a number of the Ngatiruani whose names are not known were wounded. And now the Governor calls upon all good men in New Zealand —those who know the command ment which says, " Thou shalt do no murder"—to aid him in bringing the murderers to justice, that all men may know the Maories are men and Chris tians, and not slaves and murderers. Enough —this is what has passed at Taranaki. THE NAVY. The Duncan, 101, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, is having two large metal knees, or brackets, affixed to her stern and outer sternpost, with a view of counteracting the effects of vibration on that part of the ship, caused by the new screw when under steam. The Blenheim, 60, screw, coastguard ship, Capt. E. Tatham, steamed out of Portsmouth yesterday, and anchored at Portsmouth to take in powder and shell, previous to her departure for Port:and. On clearing the harbour's mouth she exchanged the usual salutes with H.M.S. Victory, flagship of the Commander-in -Chief. Private letters from H.M.S. Wasp, dated Madeira, June 29, announce her safe arrival there on the day previous, all well. She was to proceed on her voy age to the Cape of Good Hope on the Ist July. A seaman had fallen overboard during her passage out, but had been saved by the presence of mind and personal exertions of her senior lieutenant, Mr. W. R. Kennedy. The Perseverance screw troopship, Commander E. R. Power, has been removed from dock to the steam basin at Portsmouth, and has commenced coaling alonside the eastern quay. The Philomel, 5, new screw three-masted schooner, built by Messrs. White of Cowes, has been placed in No. 8 dock at Portsmouth for the purpose of being thoroughly surveyed by the master builder and his staff before receiving her copper. The gunboat Violet (tender to the Eagle), having been thoroughly repaired, left Devonport on Tues day for Torbay. The steam-tender Zephyr, J. Bond master, which left Plymouth Sound on Tuesday, with despatches for Admiral Fremantle, returned to the Sound on ' Wednesday. She did not succeed in communicating with the squadron. The screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Captain A. Cumming, left Plymouth Sound on Tuesday after noon for the purpose of going into dock at Keyham steam-yard. After passing St. Nicholas Island, and when in the narrow part of the entrance to Hamoaze, a merchant brig, in tow of a steam-tug, from Stonohouse Pool, was observed suddenly rounding Stonehouse Point, and, in order to avoid injuring the brig, the frigate was backed astern towards Barn Pool, when the ebbing tide caught her bow, and she grounded on the beach at about half-past 2 o'clock. It was not low tide until half past 3, and she did not float off until 7, when she was moored to a buoy, and was yesterday (Wed nesday) morning taken up Hamoaze. She will be placed to-day in No. 1 dock, from which the Charon and Goshawk are to be removed. With ships like the Emerald, which is 265 feet 6 inches long, it seems necessary that a steam tender should be in advance when passing through a strait so narrow as the entrance to Hamoaze. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. B. Elphin stone, to the Hornet, commissioned ; Lieut. James T. Pringle, to the Megwra ; Lieut. W. M. Bridgen, to the Hornet; George K. Allen, master, to the Hornet; Andrew R. Gordon, mate, to the Edgar ; IL Dolphin and R. M. Sperling, midshipmen, to the Trafalgar; Richard L. Canney, first-class assist.- engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary; and James Wootton, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary. TEE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will, as colonel of the Scots Fusileer Guards, in spect both battalions of that regiment of Guards on Saturday morning in Hyde Park. It is expected that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as General Commanding-in-Chief, will make an inspection of the Ist and 2d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, at present quartered in the metropolis, in the course of the ensuing week. Two small draught of troops from the camp at Colchester, for service in the East, have taken their departure ; 91 men of the 66th, under the com mand of Brevet-Major Fawcett and Lieut. Maguire, having left for China, and a detachment of the Ist Royals, 74 strong, and under the command of Capt. Watts and Ensign Atkinson, being now on his way to India. Captain Mercer's No. 3 battery, 4th Brigade, marched from Woolwich on Tuesday morning, and were billeted at Islington for the night, under orders to proceed to the Euston station yesterday morning, for the purpose of rehearsing and ascer taining the readiest method of despatching a field battery by railway. The Alpine, 1,664 tons, Capt. J. Rose, has been chartered by the Hon. Council for India, and will convey the following reinforcements to Calcutta— viz., 2 officers and 124 men of the Ist battalion 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, from Fermoy ; 3 officers and 135 men of the 27th Ennisktillens, from Buttevant ; and 2 officers and 111 men of the 89th Regiment, from Fermoy. The Warrior Queen has also been chartered by the Government for the conveyance of reinforce ments to India, and will embark the following troops :-3 officers and 74 men of the 46th Regi ment, and 5 officers and 283 non - commissioned offi cers and men of the 80th Regiment, from Butte vant ; and 4 officers and 26 men of the 48th Regi ment, from Cork. The following, addressed to Viscount Sydney, has been 'issued from the War-office, dated July 11 : "My Lord,—ln reply to your lordship's letter of the sth inst., I have the honour to state that there will be no objec tion to a brigade field-day for Volunteer corps taking place at Bromley on the 14th inst., to be attended by such corps as may have applied for and obtained the necessary per mission to assemble (as laid down in the War-office memo randum of the 6th ult.) "No applications for permission for corps to attend can be received at this office later than 12 o'clock on Friday next; and no corps which has not obtained leave will be permitted to take part in the mancouvres. " A list of the corps to which leave has been granted will be transmitted to your lordship as soon as it is complete. " I have further to inform you, that (in the absence, on duty, of the Inspector of Volunteers) Major-General Eyre, commanding at Chatham, has been appointed, with the consent of his Royal Highness the General Commanding in -Chief, to act as inspecting officer on the occasion. He will superintend and watch the movements, and afterwards make his report to this office. " I have to add that Major-Gen. Eyre will be furnished with the names of the various corps which have received pormissiou frogs this office to attend, and if any corps should TILE VICTORIA RIFLES. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. take the liberty of forwarding you the accompanying report of the firing yesterday on the practice-ground of the Victoria Rifles at Kilburn. As you are aware, the number of competitors at Wimbledon for Miss Burdett Coutts's prize was so great that the Association were compelled to with draw it, there being no time left for the competi tion of so large a number. It was therefore suggested that it should be shot for at Kilburn on Tuesday, the 10th inst., at 12 o'clock, the arrangements being left in the hands of Lord Moho. To the £5O presented by Miss Burdett Coutts was added .£25 by the Duke of Wellington. These two sums were divided into three prizes —first, £3O ; second, £25 ; third, £2O ; open to all corners, with any kind of rifle. The distance fired from was 400 yards, and the number of rounds 10 ; no entrance fee. Shortly after 12 o'clock the competition com menced, in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, Lord Elcho, Lord Radstock, Major- General Boileau, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. Among the 53 competitors were Count de Gendre; Herr Thomann (S wiss); Lieut. Lacy, 12th Regiment ; Captain Archibald, 33d Foot; Captain Robertson, 9th Perth Rifle Volunteers; Stewart Mackenzie; the Meister of Lo` at ; Major Talbot ; Captain Dove, 91st company Lanarkshire Rifles; Corporal Hodder, Grenadier Guards ; Captain Greenhill, and several officers and members of the Victoria Rifles ; Mr. Treeby, and other civil members of the same corps. Several of the competitors were winters of prizes at Wimbledon. At the termination of the 10 rounds the score stood : Arthur Fellowes, Vi c t or i a Rifl es Pol3in ts. David Thornbury, ditto .. 13 M. P. Smith, ditto • • .. 13 • . Thomann (Swiss) .. 13 Corporal Hodder, Grenadier Guards .. 12 Major Talbot .. 10 F. Giles, Victoria Rifles .. • 10 Captain G reen hill , di tto .. 10 G. K. M a tth ewos, ditto .. 10 Captain Dove, 91st c om p., L anar k .. 10 The firing, which had excited the greatest inte rest throughout, was now most narrowly watched as the four first stepped to the front to fire off the ties. Arthur Fellowes scored.. 2 M. Smith scored David Thornbury „ I 1 Thomann „ The contest now remained between Fellowes and Thomann, who had both scored 15 point, and the final result was : Thomann l7 points. I Thornbury .... 14 points. Fellowes It is but justice to the winners of the second and third prizes to state that Herr Thomann fired with a superior rifle, with shade to sight and a hair trig ger, whereas they fired with the common Govern ment long Enfield, regulation bore, made by the London Armoury Company on the plan of inter change, with a pull of trigger equal to 41b. They also used the Government ammunition, pattern 1853, as supplied to the corps from the Government stores. The target was 6 feet by 3, with a bull's-eye of 8 inches diameter, counting three, centre two, uppers and lowers one. I have strung this together regardless of form or style, thinking you may poosibly deem this "sequel to Wimbledon" worthy a space in your valuable columns.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, FREDK.

Notwithstanding the proceedings at the annual meeting of the Union Bank of London occu pied about two hours yesterday, the discussion was of a much less disorderly character than expected. The gathering of the shareholders, however, took place some short tim e pr i or to thehour fixed, and before the business commenced, at 12 o'clock punc tually, the room in the London Tavern assigned for their deliberations was crowded to excess. The appearance of the directors at the time stated was hailed with loud applause, and although some fete hisses were heard when the governor and his col leagues took their seats, the repeated cheers which followed at once decided the general tone and pro bable result of the meeting. Mr. P. Northall Laurie presided, and made a temperate and business-like address, explaining with g rea t c l earness t h e pos i t i on of the bank, both with reference to its present and future prospects, the principal points of which elicited strong marks of approval. The re commendations contained in the report for making good the defalcations of Pullinger, and at the same time apportioning part of the profits in the shape of a dividend, were stated to be offered under the guidance of the best legal authority, and it was hoped, the governor said, that the course suggested would be received with favour. Although in carry ing out this arrangement it had been found neces sary to re-transfer the amount a short time since placed to capital, the shares would still stand £l2 paid, the proprietors not being liable for more than £3B, if it should ever be required to make up the £5O To prove that the bank was in a sound and satisfac tory state, it was only necessary to refer to the profits of the past year, which amounted to £124,000, exclusive of £lOB,OOO paid to customers as interest. Of course the frauds of Pullinger had been a deep source of regret and mortification to the directors, since, if they had not occurred, the bank on this, its 21st anniversary, would have been in a most unas sailable position. As it was, their progress had been most surprising, for since the date of their commence ment the amount paid in dividends and bonuses had reached £1,000,000, while nearly £1,500,000 had been disbursed in the way of interest. With deposits over and above £10,000,000, with an increase in the number of their accounts after the discovery of the frauds,and with an increasein the number of the share holders, it was quite evident that great confidence still existed in the institution. The future depended in a great degree on the proprietors themselves— the decision arrived at that day being sure to exer cise vast influence on their affairs, and the direc tors, who had already experienced their great for bearance and sympathy, relied on the vote of the general body to support the property, in the ulti mate position of which they were all so deeply interested. The effect of this addreis was at once conspicuous, and the disposition shown to furnish information and meet the wishes of the share holders caused the feeling in favour of the directors to be more than ever strongly developed. During the discussion which subsequently ensued—=a variety of questions having meanwhile been put to the governor—it was certain that the report and dividend would be agreed to, the largest proprietors manifesting impatience at the delay in arriving at a conclusion. It was, however, elicited at an early stage that the bank would be no suf ferer by the failures in the leather trade, the prac tice being not to discount except for customers, and then only when they possessed the whole account. The threats of suits in Chancery which one or two of the shareholders assort they are prepared to institute, did not disturb the strong opinion of the general body, and the interrogations concerning the ap pointment o f Pullinger, the period of the original defalcations, and their gradual increase, having been freely replied to, the dividend and report were all but unanimously adopted. Votes of confi dence in the directors and the management concluded the busi ness as i n per i o d s o f f u ll prosperity, the re tiring directors being re-elected in the ordinary form. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENT.—The Suspension of Messrs. Robert Freeland Brothers, Manchester s hi ppers to India, is announced. The liabilities are reported at £6O 000 I to £lOO,OOO, but well - informed people say £60,000. tis feared that one or two smaller stoppages may follow, but most of the creditors are large and wealthy houses. eneorys ~ v ere denjanded and accepted, viz., " Bole Britannia," Mendelssolin's Wedding Mtreh, and the National Anthem, all of which were executed with surpri,ing brilliancy and precision. The bands selected by the judges as worthiest to contend for the prizes —again 12 in number—then successively exhibited their strength in the Handel Orchestra. The first prize £3O in money, with a silver cup for the band master, and a complete set of Boosey's Brass Band Journal, in 16 volumes, presented by the publishers —was awarded to the Cyfarthfa band (conductor, Mr. R. Livesey), from Messrs. Crawshay's Ironworks, South Wales. The piece selected for this band was Verdi's overture to " Nabucco." The second prize —.£2O in money— fell to the Dewsbury band (conductor Mr. John Peel), who played a selection from the same com poser's " Ernani ;" the third prize---.£15, to the Saxhorn band of Mr. James Bagnall's Ironworks, - Goldshill, Staffordshire (conductor Mr. J. Bland-- ford), for a scena and polacea by Perry; the fourth Prize—Llo—to the Chesterfield band (conductor. Mr. 11. Slack), who (in the costume of the Derby shire Rifles), gave a selection from " Lucrezia Borgia ;" the sth prize —X5—to the band from Meltham Hills, Yorkshire (conductor, Mr. H: Hartley), for a performance of the "Hallelujah" Chorus of Handel. The Blackdyke and Saltaire bands, who had won the first and second prizes on Tuesday, were prohibited from contending on this occasion. Two extra prizes —an electro-plated cornet-a-pistons by Courtois (presented by Messrs. Chappell and Hammond), and an electro-plated euphonion in B flat (presented by Messrs. Boosey for the best solo cornet and bass players), were con signed to Mr. W. Blandford (Goldshill band) and Mr. John Walker (Cyfarthfa band). The prizes were delivered to the successful competitors by Mr. Bewley, general manager of the Crystal Palace, who addressed them in brief and appropriate terms, expressed his belief in the good results that must accrue from the movement, acknowledged the libe rality of the donors of prizes, and paid a well-de served compliment to Mr. Enderby Jackson for the ability with which lie had organized and directed the performances. A great deal of enthusiasm was elicited, and it was nearly 9 o'clock before the pro ceedings had come to an end. For a first experi ment of this kind the success was quite extraordi nary. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. ,------ These gardens are becoming almost as musical as in the time of the late M. Jullien, at whose sugges tion, and in accordance with whose plans, the music hall was erected, and who proposed and carried out in the course of his brief transpontine career so many attractive entertainments. Last night the first of a series of concerts was held under the pre sidence of Mr. Balfe—whose name, in itself a tower of strength —was attached to nine pieces out of ten in the programme (a bona fide Balfe programme), and who was enthusiastically received on making his appearance in the orchestra. The brilliant overture to " The Siege of Rochelle" —the first and by no means least popular of the many successful operas that have proceeded from his pen since, after a long sojourn in Italy, he definitively established himself in this metropolis—formed an appropriate and effective prelude to the concert. We shall not attempt a detailed description of the performances which on the present occasion afforded much une quivocal delight to upwards of 7,000 persons. Suffice it, there were pieces from sundry of Mr. Balfe's operas, among which figured conspicuously "In this old chair " (Maid of Honour), by Mr. Perren, and the " Power of Love " (Satanella), by Miss Parepa, both of which were thoroughly well sang and loudly encored. The greatest sensation, however, was created by " When other lips and other hearts" (Bohemian Girl), which Mr. Sims Reeves—being called back after a song by Signor Alary, " The British Volunteers"—gave with such wonderful vigour and warmth of expression that he was compelled by unanimous desire to repeat it, and thus to sing no less than three times in imme diate succession. Besides the operatic pieces, there I were several of Mr. Balfe's chamber songs and duets, the best being a new ballad, "If I could change as others change," charmingly given by Madame Laura Baxter, and the deservedly popular " I love you," composed expressly for Mr. Reeves, which, being rendered in his most expressive sty le by that heavily -taxed gentleman—who is always expected to double the labour he has undertaken— was, as a matter of course, redernanded, and in so emphatic a manner that to decline the honour would, to say the least, have been impolitic. The splendid bass voice and energetic delivery of Mr. 'Weiss, and the artistic talent of Madame Weiss, were also heard to advantage in " The two locks of hair," and " The ring on my hand"—ballads eminently suited to the taste of the drawing-room. The Misses Brougham and Mr. George Perren were encored in the laughing trio from the Rose of Castille, the two ladies having already won golden opinions in the sparkling duet, "Trust her not"—one of Mr. Balfe's most genuine settings of Longfellow's poetry. Besides the foregoing, there were the capital trio for women's voices from Ithe Italian opera of Pal staf (produced at her Majesty's Theatre nearly 20 years ago), allotted t o Mi ss P arepa , Madame Weiss, and Madame Laura Baxter; a concerted piece from the .The Siege of Rochelle; a spirited march (com posed for the Emperor of Russia) ; and the familiar overture to The Bohemian Girl—the last two per formed extremely well by a band of some 30 players directed by Mr. Sidney Davis. Mr. Balfe himself accompanied the vocal music. The second concert is announced for Wednesday, the 18th instant. IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday Evening. The first of the series of meetings of the iron masters of this district for the current quarter was held in this town this afternoon. The attendance of the trade was smaller than it generally is, and there was an absence of some of the distant firms, exporting or otherwise, who usually attend on these occasions. The business transacted was almost nominal, but against this must be set the reports of the leading ironmasters that they are moderately well off for orders, and there is this further favourable feature for the trade, that consumers' stocks are low, and those must be kept up, however reluctant that class of persons may be to enter into engagements much beyond their immediate requirements. There was a general concurrence of opinion to-day that the present price of the finished iron of the district will be firmly adhered to. Such is the determination of all the leading firms; and, indeed, present prices are barely remunerative, so high is the price of material, and still more the labour scale, which has never been m ore dispropor tioned to the price of iron than it has been since the current range of quotations was fixed. The price which mine pig-iron realised to-day was about half-a-crown per ton below the price of last quarter-day. There has been an accumulation of stock since that time, and the desirability of reducing the make is admitted. There is no or ganised movement to do so, but the principal pig masters—such as are in a position to afford it— will in all probability blow out all furnaces as a matter of prudence. The great meeting of the trade manufacturers' fapeltaucree r a s t , Birmingham t o - morro w. This was and merchants' quarter -day at Wolverhampton, and accounts were paid with that degree of prompt ness for which the factors and merchants of the town are notable.
