STAMPED sd. CRYSTAL PALAO.E. ai nngd a t having ahviwisaniiggtphnl plac e IThe first of the annual series of winter concerts for 1866-67 took place - on Saturday, and, though 1 the vocalists who appeared have not obtained the renown achieved by those more favourite artistes whose clear, sweet strains are yearly heard ringing through the lofty nave of our greatest permanent temple of the arts, it was, nevertheless, attended by such success as to make it an auspicious precursor of similar performances which are to follow. It was given in the enclosure called the Concert-room, which has been simply and taste fully redecorated • during the recess. Mr. Matins, ehwt the overture da t o h s v the able and indefatigable conductor, on appear leelgi brs r taennertdee acknowledgmentsdt ot o w b i e h ßi na i , nytahrek Bias"e d programmewarmth, ato oee o g p a e v o e io th g e (Men delssohn). This vigorous prelude was played with a spirit and accuracy which reflected the highest credit not only on the musical director, but also on every member of his well-disciplined orchestral band. The aria " Cangio d'aspetto" (Handel) was set down for Mdlle. Elvira Behrens, and was rendered by that lady with evident care, but not with such effect as to elicit any marked expression of opinion from a numerous and sympathising audi ence. Mdlle. Behrens' rich contralto was heard to far greater advantage in the two duets which she afterwards sang in conjunction with 11.1tille. Ene quist, who possesses a fine soprano voice of pure quality and of considerable compass. Both the pieces alluded to—romely, " Schon Blumlein " (Schumann), a soft, simple melody, and " Maig lockehen" (Mendelssohn), a sprightly, tripping composition—were received with such favour as to but narrowly escape repetition. Mdlle. Enequist gave the romance " Sombre forct," from " Guil laume Tell" (Rossini), with appropriate force and feeling, while the solemn suggestive accompaniment 1 was played by the band with singularly happy effect. 1 The solo pianist engaged for the occasion was Herr Fritz Hartvigson, from Copenhagen, who made his first appearance at the Crystal Palace on Saturday. He chose a grand fantasia by Schubert, introducing the air of " The Wanderer" in the slow movement. The performance was remarkable for the care evi dently bestowed upon it, and also for undeviating accuracy. Mr. Hartvigson plays with great energy and brilliancy. The other morceaux which appeared on the programme were the song " Serenade" (Gou nod), allotted to Mdlle. Elvira Behrens, and the aria, " Ah, fors'e lui," from " Traviata" (Verdi), which Mdlle. Enequist sang so happily as to elicit loud expressions of well - deserved approbation. Undoubtedly, however, the great feature of the concert was the Symphony No. 4, in B flat (Beethoven), which was played by the band with a precision which kept the audience in rapt attention from the first chord to the last of its exquisite melody. Every note was given with morvellous distinctness, the first movement, " Adagio ed allegro vivace," evidently finding the greatest favour with those who had the good fortune to hear it on Saturday, and who rewarded its rendering by enthusiastic marks of appreciation. The meed of praise which is cer tainly due to the members of the orchestra, whose services are too often left unrecognised, must be most emphatically given, inasmuch as it is impossible, I from the number of the instrumentalists, to charac terise any individual effort. The concert, which was, as maybe seen, varied and excellent, was brought : to a close about five o'clock by the performance of , the " Ente Acte et Polonaise" (Meyerbeer), then , 1 executed for the first time at the Crystal Palace.

The society has been specially . ied for the encouragement of good ploughing and other agri cultural improvements, and for giving rewards to servants for good conduct and long service ; and the proceedings yesterday were conducted with a view to the promotion of ' both these objects. A considerable number of ploughs were kept busy throughout the morning, and manyrewards were presented to the best men, whose work was, wo be- . lieve, very admirably performed; whilq similar marks of encouragement and approval were given to old and 'well conductedmale and female farm labourers and s.,rvants. - Major-General Wow), of Littleton Park, distributed the prid.es •, J-1, •,i - • r.. rd.. addressed a few kind w or d s to the successful competitors. Ife remiurled the men that the steady and faithful discharge of duty was the surest road to happiness, and he wished the younger and unmarried portion of the women good husbands, such as he was sure they all amply m er it e d. (Laughter.) This portion of the business of the day closed with cheers for the Queen and • for General Wood. The labourers afterwards dined together in a tent erected on the ground, and the gentlemen partook of a luncheon under similar shelter. General Wood presided at the latter entertainment, and was supported by Mr. James Mont gomery, J.P., the Bev. C. Laird, of Harrow ; the ltev. Mr. Lebas, of Bedfont ; Mr. P. Sherborn, the treasurer of the society, and a number of the other friends of the association; but the company was loss numerous than on many previous occasions, and comprised a more limited portion of the leading landed gentry of the county. At the conclusion of theluncheon the usual loyal and con stitutional toasts were given from the chair, and cordially honoured by the company. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, expressed his regret at the diminished support which the society had of late years obtained. Ho believed, however, that they had in their day performed much valuable work, and he did not despair of seeing the career of their usefulness still continued. He was aware that all persons engaged in agricultural pursuits in this country had for some time suf fered a certain amount of inconvenience from the scarcity and the consequent dearness of labour. But they could not regard that circumstance as an unmixed evil, because it must be the result of a growing:prosperity among the great mass of our population, and it was impossible that the agricultural body should not, through the increased demand for all kinds of articles of consumption, have indirectly, but still largely, participated in that blessing. (Hear, hear.) He begged leave to give them the toast of—" Prosperity to the Middlesex Agricultural Society," and with that toast he would couple the name of the excellent chairman of their committee;Mr. Robert Stevens. (Cheers.) Mr. R. STEVENS briefly acknowledged the compliment. " The Health of the Chairman" was afterwards proposed by theßev. C. Laird, and the gallant officer, in responding to the toast, observed that he had himself taken care to get the best men he could procure for the performance of his harvest work, and to pay them a good price for their labour. The result was, that he had got in his corn without a drop of rain, and he had since sold his barley for 465. a quarter, (Heir, hear,) He had to pay for that, but he believed that he had obtained a fair return for his outlay. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Health of their Secretary, Mr. F. Sherborn," and the gentleman, in return ing thanks for the compliment, expressed his belief that it would be idle to prolong the existenceof the society if they did not receive a larger amount of countenance and encou ragement than they had done during the last year from the receiptsmgeonr gentry ry especially a fo n r d t the ht p froma s la t b o lt2 u h their expenditure to £296, and they had £2OO in the funds; u hrs l a a do ti fa o tin n heo o iru f neo t t h emd e m d toi t x t e r e2 ic .9 t 7T , , h a aen ni so that it was not mere money they wanted. But if their hs proceedings did not create a greater amount of interest than r le m un l o ge n mp t had of late been observable amono the agriculturists of the county he should feel compelled to consider that they had outlived the period of their usefulness.

Iludnutt, chief engineer of the Illinois and Michigan Canal Extension : "Hitherto Chicago has looked in the main to her mag nificent system of railways for her channels of traffic to the West and North. Nor has she looked in vain, for they have accomplished wonders for both country and city. " Tho shipments of grain to Chicago over the line of the railroads reaching the Mississippi River during the year ending March 31, 1866, were as follows :—Total, flour, barrels, about 1,000,000; wheat, bushels, 8,000,000; corn, bushels, 17,300,000 ; oats, bushels, 9,000,000. Reduce the flour to wheat measure, and we have a grand total of about 37,100,000 bushels of grain, a saving of five cents per bushel on which would amount to $1,850,000. Add to this a like saving on rye, and barley, and grass seed, and the total would fully amount to $2,000,000. " The export eastward of grain for the time before named was —By lake, 6,500,000 bushels wheat, 24,400,000 bushels corn, 8,700,000 bushels oats. The amount by rail was-1,000,000 bushels wheat, 617,000 bushels corn, 1,087,000 bushels oats. " The export of wheat was 2,000,000 bushels less than the year before, on account of the short crop. "A glance at our map of the State of Illinois will show us another interest almost forgotten in our hurry-scurry for railroad developments, and that is the line of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which begins in a very good place, viz.—in one of our rivers, but unfortunately ends nowhere. Notwithstanding this disadvantage, it has been quietly doing its work, and has assisted in no mean way in build ing up the commerce of Chicago. "In 1865 the canal opened ten days later and closed nine days earlier than any of the preceding five years, and yet the tolls amountedlo more than double those of any other of those years, owing, as the superintendent says in his report, to the wet summer, causing high waterin the Illi nois River. If a few thunder showers can do this much for the business of this canal, what might it become were the river made navigable through the entire season of open canal. The city of Chicago has appropriated $2,000,000 to cut down the summit lever of this canal. Aside from this interest that the city owns in this public work, the whole improvement will belong to the State of Illinois in a few years. The State, we may say, then, is virtually owner. " In order to obtain a reliable supply of water for the sum mit between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, it was found necessary to tap the Rock River at Dixon, taking from thence a feeder across the summit at Devil's Slough, near Sheffield. By making this feeder navigable, it will relieve the wants, long felt, of water communication from the valley of Rock River, for that river could be improved to its source, and, by the feeder, the whole trade of the Rock River Valley be opened to the markets, either at St. Louis or Chicago. This project need not interfere with the improvement of Rock River, but may be made the ready means of forwarding that enterprise to early com pletion. "Suppose this canal completed to the Mississippi River, wheat could be loaded upon barges from the warehouse at M'Gregor or St. Paul and sent in bulk to the Chicago River, and often elevated at once from barge to propeller. Nor is this all ; hero are the boats ready to be laden with merchandise for return trip. "The entire feasibility of the route has boon demon strated by the surveys just completed. Of course nothing can be definitely told of the cost of construction until the estimates shall have been completed ; but enough is known by the survey that a cheap line can be had. The length of main canal will be about sixty-five miles ; length of feeder thirty-eight miles, or 103 miles total. The profile has been . pronou nced by more than one competent engi neer to be the c hea p est 100 miles to construct that the y ever inspected. There will be very little rock excavat i on, a nd the earthwo rk will all be light. The locks will be the I .* "pal part of t he cost. Of these there are none on the principal feeder. From the Illinois to the summit the rise will be about 210 feet. From the summit the fall west to the Mis onrikilehsasihaelolcokeakoaegeofis6aBbBouftoolt4fOorfeto..mTi.lhose,Ewriteiloof says Mr. o ti a nutt, " let me s i ss ippi will bo eighty-eight feet.

For wh erever the grain trade centres, and especially at a point of so many commercial advantages as New Orleans Possesses, there will cen t re also the whole commerce of the Mississippi. "These facts are submitted for the candid consideration of the people of Illinois as well as to the citizens of her commercial metropolis."

Wrighton, who will ever be remembered and thanked for his charming ballad, Her bright smile haunts me still,' has just issued a sweet little song, commencing Grieve not for me love.' It is in the key of D, in six-quaver time, and ranges from Dto F sharp —or within the compass of a tenth. The air is very pretty and tender, is easy, and sings smoothly and pleasantly. Another of Mr. Wrighton's latest compositions is his ballad, Thoy tell me lam quite forgot.' This is in B flat, common time.

The persistent attempts of Mr. Seward and others td declare General Grant's political views during the Presi dential electioneering tour have driven the General into an express repudiation of the idea that any political signifi cance attaches to his presence with the party. His brief speech in New York, in which he said that an agreement had been made before they started that there was to be no speech-making on their journey, and Admiral Farragut's remark at the same place that the President of the United States was his commanding officer, and that he had always considered the request of his superior officer equivalent to a command, were sufficient in themselves to indicate that the two principal officers of the army and navy had accom panied the party at the President's request and not of their own volition, and that the tour, so far as they were con cerned, was exactly what it purported to be—a journey to the grave of a deceased statesman, having no political sig nificance whatever." We have known these facts from the beginning, and we now state, for the information of those who are accustomed to read the Chicago Tribune, and who believe that we would not willingly deceive them, that we know that General Grant did accompany the party at the Presi dent's request, aft er h av i ng d e clined an invitation from the Committee of A rrangemen ts ; and that he has repeat edly stated, duri ng th e cours e of the journey, that his presence had no p o liti ca l b ea ring or consequence what ever. The discretion observed by the General through out the tour has been admirable and praiseworthy. In the midst of debauchery and blackguardism he has ob served the proprieties of life, and the etiquette of the military profession. Conscious that he was taken along by the President for the purpose of giving eclat to Andrew Johnson and his policy of degrading and injuring himself in the estimation of his friends, and of giving a triumph to his enemies, North and South, who will never forgive him for having crushed Lee's army, and taken the rebel capital, he has borne even this infliction with his usual composure. In fact Grant and Farragui were the only persons in the whole party who demeaned themselves as gentlemen. The public early recognised this fact and lavished unbounded honours upon them accordingly. We desire to i m press upon our readers the fact that we do not make these statements from guess work. We write understandingly. General Grant is worthy of the fullest confidence of the Union party. There is not a drop of Copperhead blood in his veins. He cannot be used to overthrow the loyal Congress, either as the General of the United States army, or as Ulysses S. Grant, citizen. If Andrew Johnson intends to inaugurate a new civil war for the purpose of " arresting the course of Congress," as he said in his speech at Newark, Ohio, he will find his greatest obstacle iu the great captain who received the sword of General Lee at Appomattox. This is a country of law, and General Grant is the foremost living embodiment of law. He buttons his coat around more law than any other American citizen. He has executed more law than any other man whom this country has ever produced. The army of the United States is created by law and governed by law. Every order issued by any officer, from the President down to the lowest subaltern, depends upon law for its validity and binding force. Not even a private soldier can plead the orders of his superior as a warrant for an unlawful act. Neither Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Farragut, nor any other high officer in the army or navy, would execute an order in violation of law, or in defiance of the law-making power, which is but the will of the nation constitutionally expressed. In any conflict which may be precipitated by the President, as fore shadowed in his.speech at Newark, Ohio, the army and navy will be the foremost to arrest his mad career [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Premature Decline.—The unwary and thoughtless may save themselves a sea of troubles in the future by an early recourse to these excellent curatives.

Though every possible precaution appea»s to have been taken by the authorities to prevent the spread of the cholera, the epidemic seems to be making good its position in the manufacturing and agricul tural districts between Liverpool. and Manchester. The last weekly return for Wigan showed that the deaths from cholera had been 10, from choleraic diarrhoea 4, and diarrhcea 5, making together 19, or an increase of one-third on the preceding week. On Friday the clerk to the Board of Guardians stated that, from an examination of the Registrar's book, he found that in the month of September, 1865, the deaths from diarrhcea were 9, and the deaths from all causes 67 ; whereas in the month of September, 1866, the deaths from diarrhcea were 23, and from cholera and choleraic diarrhoea 29, making together 52, as against 9 in 1865 ; while the total number of deaths amounted to 140, or more than double those registered in the same period last year. The epidemic does not appear to be confined to any one locality ; the cases have occurred in all parts of the town, those considered healthy as well as others in which infectious diseases gene rally find a home, and, with the exception of a few children, the victims have been principally per sons in the prime of life. The water of the five wells in the borough has been sent for analysis to Dr. Angus Smith at Manchester, and his re port is a very unfavourable one. The Public Health Committee have closed one, which held in solution in each gallon 106 . 43 grains of solid residue and 28.0 of volatile matter, and they are about to take into consideration the propriety of closing the other four —one of which is nearly as bad as the above, while the water of the other three is of bad quality. In the out-townships there have been fatal cases in the Hindley district, where, under the recent Sanitary Act, the Board of Guardians have sent an inspector who has discovered some pestilential nuisances ; and diarrhcea is reported from Standish and Ashton. At Newton and Haydock there have' also been more eases of cholera, and diarrhcea is very prevalent, but the malady seems to have left the neighbourhood of Benscough, the inhabitants of which township have very properly taken proceedings against the con tractor • for the removal of the Liverpool*night soil for placing several boat-loads of the nuisance in their midst, At Maghall, near Ormskirk, a French artist has been attacked and carried off, and from Bolton there is this week rather an alarming report. At the end of the previous week a father and child named Howarth were buried together, and on Sun day another of the family died, and on Tuesday one of the persons who had attended to the sick people also succumbed. A man named Peters, finding his wife attacked, sent for his mother to attend to her, but the mother was seized too and died first,' her daughter-in-law following her shortly. Three other fatal cases have occurred, one of a woman of 43, who leaves a family of ten children. The epidemic has for the present left Little London, the suburb of Southport, where it committed terrible ravages a few weeks back. CHOLERA IN THE NORTHERN TOWNS. A considerable amount of anxiety prevails in :the northern towns with regard to the progress of cholera in the chief of them. The true type of Asiatic cholera appeared in Newcastle, Gateshead, North Shields, and Sunderland last week, and there is great fear that it may become epidemic in some of these towns. It has also been fatal in some of the outlying villages in the county of Durham. Down to Friday the disease had only manifested itself among the poor of the towns mentioned ; but on the evening of that day Mr. Titman, one of. Lloyd's surveyors ou the Tyne, died of cholera, after two days' illness. The authorities are on the alert, and the seaports of the Tyne have been got into a thoroughly clean and sanitary condition, and they are taking the precau tion in every fatal case of cholera to burn the bed and bedclothes upon which the deceased per sons have died. The following is the official return of deaths in London from cholera and diarrhoea registered on Friday, Oct. 2:— Cholera. Diarrhoea. West districts ... '2 .. . 2 North districts ... ... Central districts ... 5 ... 3 East districts 6 ... 3 South districts ... 2 Total ... ... 25 ... 10 The returns for the sub-districts of Spitalfields, Wandsworth, and Lee were not received in time for publication. The daily returns will be discontinued after that for Saturday, the Gth inst., has been issued. The Channel Fleet. (From the Army and Navy Gazette.) Our advices from the Channel Squadron do not agree with the statements that have been published in some of the mor n i n g pape rs . Th e w hole of the ships, with the single exception of the Bellerophon, have either carried away spars or found it necessary to go into port to make good defects. The Research fell out on the very day of starting, but onlyfrom the circumstance that her very small engine power did not enable her to keep company with the larger and faster ships. Her commander, instead pf proceeding to the rendezvous, thought proper to go into Ply mouth, and lodged a complaint about the scuppers to the new upper deck, but was ordered to proceed again in a few hours. The Wyvern turret ship, which is of 50 per cent. larger tonnage than the Research, and 75 per cent. more horse power, kept company, and steamed remarkably well against the head sea, but is of course very wet, and had to go into Cork for coal after being a short time out. The next ship in size is the Palla,s, which has proved herself the fastest ship under canvas in the squadron. She was the first to set the example of carrying away spars, however, having broken her maintopgallant mast and sprung her topmast. The Ocean and the Hector have also carried away spars, the former ship having to undergo a week's refit in Cork before she can again cruise with the squadron. The Achilles has behaved very well, and is a steady ship in a seaway, but her foremast will have to be shifted father forward before she can be deemed satisfactory as a sailing ship. The Lord Clyde has done well, but has been found to roll more than was anticipated after her cruise to Madeira and back, during which she exhibited great steadiness. The Bellerophon has shown herself a most buoyant and lively ship, and is pronounced superior as a sea boat even to the crack wooden frigate Phaeton, in which her captain formerly served. She has not strained a spar or rope, and her officers are confi dent of beating everything, excepting the Pallas perhaps, when they fall in with a gale of wind. She rolls and pitches very moderately, and her officers are much pleased with her. She has, however, failed to tack more than once when the other ships have done it, owing, it is supposed, to some defec tive action of the balanced rudder; or, as we think much more probable, to the want of further expe rience with it. Her rudder has a very large surface, and is a most powerful steering instrument, and when the nicety of handling, which is often required even with the ordinary rudder when tacking ina sea way, is considered, it will not bo thou g ht sur prising that it should take some little time to ac quire a thorough knowledge of the proper mode of c i rc umstances. The the new rudder under suc h The complaint that other ships fired their guns whe n the Bellerophon could not is attr ib u table, not to any defective behaviour on the part of the ship, as one of the published letters from the squadron would lead the public to suppose, but from the sufficient circumstance that she has not her guns on board. Most of them are lying at Portsmouth, to be shipp e d w h e n opportunity offers , and in the meantime the Bellerophon has on board a quantity of iron, which is made to represent the weight of her guns, 0 f
