MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCES 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 durin g the past week. At Manchester there had 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, arc., were camparatively neglected. Less business has been done at Leeds than for some Weeks past, and the purchases have been confined C hiefly 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 and are understood to have beer) taken at lower rates in most instances. Business at Sheffield still continu es in a very depressed condition with little Prospect of an, improvement at present. At Norwich there bas 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 Share." Speculation, and 500 for export. The Railway 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 11 0 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 t hat greater employment will soon be found for the accumulated means now awaiting investment. Last week there were numerous pay bunts to be made, which increased the inquiry, but 8 they are now completed the market has resumed Its previously quiet appearance. The terms con tinue below the minimum by fully per cent., and W hile this is the case no important accumula tion of the " other securities" is likely to ba ex -4ihlted in the weekly returns issued from that establishment. About 120,0001. in gold was taken from the ' ls &nk on Saturday, and the movement is now be- C°1:19111 g rather serious. The arrivals announced to-day include the Oolombo, from Alexandria, with 12,1471. in spePie ; the Africa, from New York, with 800/. ; and the Avon, from the Brazils, with 36,0001. The market for Public Securities presents a quiet and rather heavy appearance, the drain of gold item the Bank having intimidated the operators for a rise, whose transactions have lately produced a ° Much buoyancy. In addition to the unfavour able effect of speculative sales, disturbing politi cal rumours accompany them, which, though 11(4 generally credited, increase the prevailing W eakness. After all, however, the variation in t l ioes is unimportant, and a few large purchases light produce a general improvement. Consuls have been 971 1 and 971 for money, and 97i b_ , 444 9 7 1 I for account. The New Threes and ronced are 961 1. March Exchequer Bills, 40s. : 14 prem. ; do. June, 375. to 40s. ; and n ab.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, all kinds met a slow inquiry, at about previous rates. For barley, the show of which was only moderate, the demand ruled heavy, but all other descriptions 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 advicos are flat. Only moderate sup plies of home-grown produce came fresh to hand last week. The imports were large, viz., 19,5 i 7 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 /13111% Fresh up to-day from Essex and Bent, coastwise, the arrivals of wheat were on a very moderate scale, and the receipt from all other counties were limited ; nevertheless, the demand forall kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices were is. per quarter in favour of buyers,notwithstanding that millers generally hold only light stocks. We wore — 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 submitted to. Floating cargoes of grain off the coast met a fair demand. Malting barley supported 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, and the oat trade was heavy, at is per quarter less money. Beaus were in short supply, and fair request, at full prices. In peas, about an average business was transacted, at last week's currency. Flour moved off Slowly, at barely stationary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Fall average arrivals of home-fed beasts were reported fresh up this morning. The quality of most breeds was very good. The beef trade ruled heavy, compared with Monday last, and prices were, consequently, 2d per Blbs lower than on that day. The highest value of the best Scots was 4s 4d per Sibs, and some very prime oxen sold at 43 to 4s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,800 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 100 Scots; and from Ireland, 5) oxen of full average weight. About an average time of year supply a 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 6d per 81bs. Lambs—the show of which was moderate —were in fair request at full prices, via., 6s to 7a 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 6d per Blbs beneath last Monday's quotations.

HOUSE OF LORDS. (Before the Lord Cbancellor and other Peers.) APPEAL-KIPPEN AND ANOTHER T. DABLEY AND ANOTHER. The further hearing of this important appeal was re sumed this morning, at half-pat 10 o'clock. It will be recollected that this is an appeal from a decision of the Lords of the First Divi-ion 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, 5,000/, 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 lordships having cot:ignited together, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. APPEAL.-VICKERS AND ANOTIIERV. POUND AND ANOTHER. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., was being heard fnr the appellant. It is probable that the hearing of counsel in this case will occupy the whole of the day. MAY 10: IssB. DIVORCE COURT. (Before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollook, and Sir C. Croswell, Judge Ordinary.) This was the first day since the passing of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act, that the full Court has sat for decreeing dissolution of marriage. It will be recol lected that the old mode of proceeding was by act of Parliament, after an investigation befJre the House of Lords. NORRIS V. NORRIS AND GILES. This was a petition on the part of the husband, a so licitor, residing at Tenbury, Worcestershire for, 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 Ist July, 1847, to his wife, a lady of great personal attractions, and niece of Lady Holmes of Newport, Isle of Wight, and they lived happily together till March, 1857. About Christmas 1856, 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 formed that lady that she must 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 at 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 a❑ appearance, but no one was present to defend the suit. After bearing evidence in support of the above facts, The Court decreed a divorce. COURT OF CONINION PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justice Bylee and a Common Jury.) REEVES V. BEGGE.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages of the defendant for false imprisonment on a charge of felony. It appeared from the evidence that Captain Cotton, who has a residence at Fulham, ar,d also one in the Isle of Tbantt, let the former residence to Signer and Madame Mario (Madame Grisi), Captain Cotton undertaking to provide a gardener to keep the garden in order, and find all the necessary Beech. The defendant was a friend of Signor Mario. At the en.d of last autumn the fruit WAS very plentiful, especially the apples, and Captain Cotton desired the plaintiff, who was the gardener, to dispose of them. He disposed or 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. Cott 13, that he authorised the plaintiff to sell the apples, the case was dismissed. After hearing evidence, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, by consent, for 101. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlburn.) IN RE LEWIS AND LEWIS. To-day was appointed fur the last examination of thole bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers in High-street, Marylebone. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mes=rs. Hart Brothers, commences Nov., 185 G, and ends March, 1858, shows— Dr., to creditors, 1,2821. ; to ditto to be paid in full, 1501. ; profits, 2421. ; capital brought in by Lewis, 4001. Cr.—By good debtu, 601. ; property, 1481. ; trade ex• penses, 5711. ; house expenses, 4541. ; losses, 4601. ; deficiency at the commencement of the balance-sheet, 3371. The bankrupts passed without opposition. IN RE BEAD. This bankrupt was described as of Lower Whitecross etreet, packing-caQe maker, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate. From the account by Messrs. Hart Brothers it appears that he owes to creditors 1,636/., and to ditto holding security 5641., creditor by good debts 2801., property 6751., ditto in the hands of creditors, 8001. Mr, Lawrance opposed for the assignees, and Mr. Bagley for the defendant. The bankrupt was subjected to a rigid exlminatien as to the disposition of his property, as on previous exami nations it had been proved that some portion was banded over to meet art accommodation bill, but which had been returned to the assignees. The case was proceeding, but likely to occupy a con siderable time. LLOYD'S SIEPPINO.--4This Day. LONDON, May 10. —Wind this day at noon, E. ; moderate breeze, and cloudy.

SOUTH AIISTRALIA.—AdeIaide advices reach to March 11, and we find that this colony was not in recent of the over-due London January mail. Thus, while the Mel bourne merchants have been able to reply to the January letters, 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 in the same dilemma on this occasion. The financial position of the colony is shown to be sound. The balance in the treasurer's hands 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 expected, 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 were being made to England, India, and the Mauritius. The yield of minerals was increasing. New mining localities were being opened op, and the mining interests generally were assuming great activity. Coal is reported to have been discovered at Copio, near Port Lir coln. Telegraphic communication between Adelaide and Mel bourne was expected to be opened throughout in the course of April.—Mining Journal of May 8. DETERMINED SIIICIDE.—On Saturday Thomas Wakl ey, Esq., the coroner for West Middlesex, received infor mation of the death of Mr. Michael Carpenter, aged 46, perambulator maker, who resided in Clerkenwell-close, Clerkenwell, and who had committed self-destruction. He sent his wife out on an errand at breakfast time, and on her return, a little favourite dog kept pulling her dress and running into the yard. On her going there she discovered blood flowing from under the d oor of t: watercloset. She fetched an opposite n ei g hbour,wh found he had deliberately drawn bahr acros throat, inflicting a frightful gash, by w the windpipe and carotid arteries were divided. ROYAL ACADEMY. (THIRD NOTICE.) "i" t.;'' Another survey ef the noble exhibition of paint ings now on view in Tralfalear-square impresses us with the satisfactory convictien that if sole° among the Royal Acadamicians have be, n either it ,d lent or other wise occupied, some also have been at once industrious and successful. To Mr. Frith and to Mr. Egg belong the chief triumphs of art noti in the collection. To Clarkson S anfiel I, and David Roberts belong the credit of simply sustain ing their already eminent reputations. Each con tributs to the gallery four works of considerable, if not conspicuous excellence. In each iust ate:, the four works are strikingly characteri-tic. Mr. Roberts delights, as usual in his gorgeous architec tural interiors : No. 14 representing the high altar of the 'Venetian Church of " San Giovanni e Paolo ; " No. 159 "The Basilica of San Lerenze ;" No. 366 that of "San Giorgio Maggiori ;" and No. 485 " The Ducal Palace of Venice." Mr- Stan fi ld's quartett of sea-stapes consist of No. 18, " Old Hallam! ;" No. 141, " The Fortress of Savona" ; No. 359, " The Castle of Ischia ;" and No. 497, "The Hollands Diep—tide making"— the last of these, delicious to look at, radiant, re freshing. Among the younger contributors Mr. Wallis this season wins l ss than we had hoped he might have done upon our admiration. His de liueation in No. 462 of "Henry Martin, at Chep stow Costly," though thoughtful throug'tout, is not by any means, to our fancy, sati-factory ; mkt while No. 562 is a powerful artistic c intribution t - wards the realization of one of the politic d day dreams of Louis Napoleon namely, "The Extinc tion of Pauperism ;" No, 3( 9, " Sir Walter Raleigh in the Tower" is anything rather than worthy of the painter of the library of Montaigne, or of the death-bed of Ctiatterton. The little chill blowing bubbles in the dungeon, while his captive father is engaged there wr iti ng his History of the World, is but indifferently contrasted with R deigh himself, who gazes up from his student-labours with a look rather of vacancy than of abstraction. Mrs. E. M. Ward allows her artist ambition to take a higher flight than even in No. 360, pourtrayitig an incident borrowed from Hepworth Dixon's Life of John Howard, to wit the great philanthropist's " Farewell to England," when ho took leave of his tenants (humble villagers) at Cardington. Frank Stone, leaving for once his charming 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 genuine natural feeling and in the vigour of its execution, among the very best things his artist-hand has yet pro duced. Mr. G. Jones, R. A. , adds another to his already numerous illustrations of the heroic crreer of the conqueror of Scinde. No. 240, depicts, atter the usual fashion of our veteran war-painter, (with marvels in the shape of smoke and flame, and zranite) the famous desti ucion of the Fortress of Emaum Ghur—the merunrable explosion eff,cted 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 eis iron stylus, in his annals of the Conquest of icinde—" It was a grand action ! He would have done better to have reserved his heroism for a gr- ater occasion—hut it was a grand action !" From which casual mention of the name of our erear military historian—the British Livy of the Peninsula—may we not cast one cursory glance here for a passing moment down into the cool dark recesses of the half subterranean chamber of the Academy, to which the handiwork of Sculptors ot England are annually doomed on the opening of the May Exhibition. There in No. 1181, will be found on its appropriate pedestal an example ot ti , e iiotean genius of this . honoured an-I venerable Master at once in Arts and Literature. This is no thing less than a classic bronze statuette, represeni wg in a heroic form, with the garments nearly !mint off it and the barbed allow sticking deep iu the side—hceret lateri lethalis arundo—the trag:c " 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 net previously I acquainted with the fact that this eminent man, distinguished simultaneously as the brother and biographer of the Conqueror of Scinde, and as the far-famed historian of the wars of the Peninsula, handles not less deftly the brush of the painter, the tools of the modeller, and the pencil of the draughtsman ' than the pen of the ann a li s t, a pen that has long since written upon tablets more enduring than bronze, are peremnitts. Tne inci dent 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 have selected for commemoration. It is an occurrence, moreover, eminently wo; thy of being thus commemorated. It will be remembered as the event transpiring shortly after the Athenian general's banishment when he took refuge with Pharnabazus, and when certain hireling assassins, 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, thou 'h 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 designs, by a painting in many respects as grace ful as it is instantly recognised to be ambitious and .it , ractive. 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 iraginext of a forgotten cor res p on d ence. It is the portion of a letter addressed by Sir Charles Wogan to Dean Jonathan Swift :—"I had the' honour of bringing Mr. Pope from our retreat in the forest of Windsor to dress (1 la mode, and in troduce at Will's Coffee-house." Admirably his the artist realized the scene of Pope's introduction to Dryden. The picture wound assuredly bee me Popular if reproduced, as it deserves to be, in the form of an engraving. Horsley's double painting— coupled in one fratne—No. 350. "Flower Girls, Town and Count-y"—will be examin e d by ever y visitor to the Gallery this season, or we are much mistaken, withnothing short of genuine delight and admiration. The contras , is perfect, and it is ex quisite: the fresh, lima, lovely, blooming flowers, faces, atmosphere, in the " Country," where young girls and younger children are gathering prim roses and bluebells— , he 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 list 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 Grtat Marlow, Bucks, '—a work wotthy of a painter whose teacher is Nature, whose studio is the green countryside—one who, at least in spirit and aflec 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 beanties 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, demands 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-ndder'd cows with patience stand, Wailing the strokings of the damsel's hand." As already intimated, we may observe again, in reference to another and a very distinct departatennt. of the Exhibition, that embracing its ample sr_re are t Portraits—the walls of the Academy for 18J8 evei , i if po.: s9 fble, more abundantly supplied with effigies of well-known, The e a p it painters of nameless, Lath« s and Get. tleme o n r . retained respectively among . the p d o , r p i n r and by Mr. our time by Sir J.

Sauntering through the room appropriated to the display of drawings and miniatures, we find an old favourite to the public, T. Carrick, as well represented es ever by the pro ducts of his refined and delicate pencil—not the least interesting of his eight brilliant mniatures being No. 675, " HOD. Thomas H. Peters, of New Brunswick," who we are told, was " one of the last, if not the last, survivor of the Royalists who left the United States for the British provinces after the American war of Independence. " Mathew Noble, contributes downstairs, in the sculptare-room-- four additional evidences of his artistic genius —con spicuous among these being No. 11G2, his " Pre paratory m o d e l f or a co l ossa l b ust of H.R.H. the Prince Consort, t o b e execu t e d i n mar b le for the city of . Matichester." F our wor k s, too, from the hand of another sculptor, of very rare accomplish ment, deserve, or rather demand a careful exami nation, last but not least of these either in value or importance being No. 1327, a monu mental medallion, nobly and exquisitely de signer]. It would hardly be fair to an artist of rising fame to pass again out of the doors of the Academy without awarding one passing 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, sisters, sweethearts, children t It is a painting full of tender feeling—one that it would be difficult to view without emotion—so true . is it to the he trt-brimming, eye-moistening reality. AsAsa corollary to which picture, there is No. 531. " Retribution," by E. Armitage, absurly mis printed in the catologue Miss E. Armitage. A colossal Britannia grappling a Benal Tiger by the throat with one hand while preparing with the other to plunge the avenging steel to its heart— the Tiger r 'ging in its impotence, Britannia gigan t c arid irresis ible. Tempting us to linger still in comment over the collect ion there are of course other attraction, 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 Creswick, with Cuyplike Cattle straying over the stream, from the pencil of Sidney Cooper, the bril liant Baltic View of Carmichael, and the Ruth of Pickersg 11. Enough, however, has here been said in our third summary of this splendid Academy Collection, BEBE OBERT.HER'S MORNING CONCERT. This concert took place on Saturday morning at Willis'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 excellence, while the performances on the harp, violin, violenc 110, and con certina were of a high-class character, and eminently satisfactory. The opening trio, for harp, violin, and violencello, was played by Herr Oberthiir, Herr Jansa, 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 " Prelude 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 skill in 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 anent merited the applause it received. A solo on the violoncello by Herr Lidel, illustrating Rossini's en trancing theme, "Cujus Animam," was among the moat conspicuous of the performances. Herr Lidel possesses the valuable qualification of clear, full, 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 Misses Chatterton, Vining, and Freeth, was given with spirit, eliciting warm applause, which the young artists richly deserved. Signor It-gondi, on the con certino, exhibited great precision of touch and fluency of execution, and in his duet with the violoncello created con-iderabte enthusiasm. The concluding arrangement of Irish in,-todi-s for harp and piano was brilliantly given by Herr Oberthur and Miss Freeth, and the whole concert went off with successful eclat.
