TILE ORGAN GRINDING NUISANCE.—AngeIo Busi, an Italian organ grinder, was charged before Mr. Yangllan with continuing to play his organ in Grey Hound-court, Strand, after being requested to go away for just and reasonable cause. As the pri soner either could not or would not understand what was said to him in English, the evidence was explained to him by an interpreter. A poor woman, named Mary Anne Leigh, living in Grey Hound-court, stated that the prisoner was playing his organ in front of the house in which she lives, when she went out to him and asked him to go away, as her husband was very sick and ill, and could not bear tl►'3 noise. The prisoner laughed in her face, clapped his hands, stamp'•d on the pave nent, and made signs to turn the hurdio herself. He then. began playing again. Finding that he would pay no attention to her remcnstrances, and being afraid of the consequences to her husband, who had been bed-ridden for yea's, and suffered much from any such disturbance, she sent for a policeman, and gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable, F 165, said he was called to the spot, andl found the prisoner playing his organ furiously, laughing at the complainant, and by gestures defying her. The prisoner, who had repeatedly interrupted with comments and denials in the course of the interpretation, was now called upon for his defence, and replied that he had nothing to say. Mr. Vaughan said the prisoner had behaved very badly, but as this was his first offence he should only fine him 155., or ten days' imprison ment, instead of the full penalty of 405., or one month. The fine was paid, and the prisoner went away grinning at the complainant and officers. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. GROSS IMPOSITION.—John Kelly, a non-Unionist tailor, and Julia Kelly, his wife, appeared before Mr. Kuox to answer a summons charging them with applying for relief at the workhouse of St. James's parish, having at the time of such application in their possession, and under their immediate control, money and property, of which, on inquiry made, they did not make correct and complete disclosure. .11Ir. Buzzard, vestry-clerk, and clerk to the governors of the poor of St. James's, attended to prosecute, and, in opening the case, stated that he appeared to prosecute the defendants under the 11th and 12th Vic., cap. 96, sec. 88, the charge against them being for obtaining relief from the parish while they had the means of living with out it. The wife of the defendant, John Kelly, who was a journeyman tailor, living with his wife and family in Windmill-street, St. James's, applied in the month of September last for relief, stating that he was in great distress, only earning ss. or 6s. a week, and that he required relief. The assistant gave the defendant relief and continued it for a long period, the amount of relief averaging Bs. or 9s. a week, and the total amount being £l5. By mere accident it transpired that the de fendant John Kelly had, during the whole of the period he had been receiving relief from the parish, been earning 30s. or 325. a week, being employed by a respectable firm in Saville-row, and the go vernors of the poor of the parish, feeling that they had a public duty to perform, and that they ought to make an example of such flagrant conduct on the part of the defendant, had instituted the present proceedings. Mr. James Dore, assistant overseer of St. James's, said that in the early part of September last, the defendant, Julia Kelly, applied to him for relief for herself, husband, and family, stating that her husband was out of work and unable to support his family, consisting of two sons and two daughters. In consequence of the woman's representations a visit was paid to the defendant, and relief was granted, it being varied from time to time up to May. The woman stated that her husband had pledged all his clothes, and that he had no boots nor shoes, and that he only earned 6s. or 7s. a week. The relief was discontinued after the week ending the 9th May. James Smith, assistant-relieving officer and mes senger, stated that the defendants were relieved from the sth September to the week ending 9th May, receiving meat, soup, beef-tea, bread and cheese, and occasionally porter, the relief being varied. Mr. Knox asked whether the defendants received any money, and the witness said they did. Mr. Charles W. Mooney, tailor, of Saville-row, said that the defendant John Kelly was at work for him during the whole of the time spoken of by the governors' witness, at average weekly wages of 11 12s. 6d. One of the governors of the poor stated that in consequence of its being represented to him that the defendants had been receiving relief, and that they were undeserving persons, he made inquiries and found that to be the fact. He was recommended to go to the employer's house, and he did so, and Mr. Williams was kind enough to tell him what he had stated in court. Afterwards finding that the female defendant had applied to the parish for some clothing for the eldest girl, about 15 years of age, to go to service, he went to the defendant, and asked him whether that was the case, and he said it was quite true. Looking round the room, and seeing some coats, he remarked to the man that he seemed to have work, and he said that he could only make two of the coats a week, and that he had a difficulty in earning more than Gs. a week, as he worked for a slop shop. He after wards went to the shops alluded to by the prisoner and found that no such one was employed by them, and Mr. Williams further stated that the coats the prisoner was at work upon were his coats. He asked the prisoner whether he had received beef tea and other things, and had admitted that he had, and that his children had the bread and cheese. He asked the prisoner whether he had had any money, . and, after denying it, ho ac knowledged that his wife had had it, but he said he had been in great distress, and had had no work. He told the man that as the strike was going on he might have got work somewhere, and he then said that he could not work for a regular shop. The man then showed him his rent book, pointing out that he had had a distress in his place, and showed him the duplicate of a coat, but he afterwards ascertained that the very week he pre tended his goods were seized he received from his employer £1 lls., and 9s. worth of relief from the parish. Mr. Samuel George Tett, inquiring officer, said he called on the defendant, John Kelly, and asked him if he was in the employ of Mr. Williams, and he said he did a little for him, but he Williams his pay to be different to what 11Ir. 11/ had stated. He admitted receiving relief for six months. From inquiries he (Mr. Tett) had made he found that the man was a notorious drunkard. The defendant, John Kelly, said that having been ill he applied for a little relief and received it, and it was continued. lie had not received the amount stated. Mr. Knox said he wondered the defendant (John Kelly) bad the face to say what he had. It appeared from his employer that he had been in receipt of wages averaging 12s. a week, and yet he had been, by a trick, drawing from the authorities money intended for the really poor and destitute. It was shown that he was a man of drunken habits, and that was the way in which the money he received .was spent. He had no doubt about the case, and very much regretted that the Act did not go further, for both the defendants deserved it. lre considered their conduct abomin able, and he should commit them for a month each, with hard labour. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—Peter Con roy, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting two police con stables named Hart and Loker. Last night the prisoner met Hart in New Gravel- Jane, Shadwell, and, without any provocation, said to him, " You are alone now, and I can pay you out." He struck the constable and knocked him down, and when he was down kicked him several times. A violent struggle took place between them, in the course of which the prisoner pulled off his coast and waistcoat, and beat the police constable furiously. Another constable named Loker came to the assistance of Hart, and he was also knocked down and kicked. The prisoner was ultimately secured. In defence the prisoner said that he came from Cardiff yesterday and drank heavily, and the police took advantage of him. Ile was a»ked if he had any witnesses, and he said he was a poor man and that if he had plenty of money he would produce witnesses. Mr. Paget said that any witnesses the prisoner wanted should be summoned without any cost or trouble to the prisoner. Ile could not permit any prisoner to suggest he c)o I not have witnesses. There was the same law for the poor as for the rich. The prisoner then called two witnesses from the back of the court. The first, his brother, Patrick Conroy, said the prisoner was a peaceab!e, quiet man, and that the police had " prevaric ,tecl," and would say anything against a man in liquor. The other witness, George tiodges, said the prisoner was a well-conducted man on board ship and a good sailor. Mr. Paget said he had seen the prisoner before him on a former occasion, and it was stated by Roche, the gaoler of the court, and by police constables, that the prisoner had been three times in custody for assaults on police constables and convicted. Mr. Paget said he had heard at great length, and had heard all that the prisoner and his friends could advance in his favour. There were no grounds for the imputation on the police. They had not pre varicated, nor had they given their evidence in an exaggerated manner. He would be the last man in the 'world to encourage prevarication or exag gerated testimony on the part of the police, but when they did their duty firmly and temperately he would protect them. He had no doubt that on board ship, under discipline, the prisoner was a wel conducted quiet man, but ho was certainly the very reverse of that on shore. The prisoner was a strong powerful young fellow and very intemperate. The prisoner without the slightest provocation made a very savage attack on a police constable, and kicked him in a cowardly manner, and when a second officer came to the aid of a brother constable he was ill-used in a similar manner. The prisoner--My coat was taken off. Mr. Paget—You took your own coat off. The prisoner—l lost my waistcoat, and all the money that was in it. Mr. Paget—You took off your own waistcoat, and you have wantonly and savagely beaten these two constables. Your case has been fully heard, and if I was to shrink from my duty the public would be left without protection. You are sen tenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. M ARYLE BONE. A RUFFIAN.—Charles Field, aged 24, a carman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting William Burgess, the landlord of the Portman Arms, further charged with biting his arm, also further charged with wilfully damaging his waistcoat and scarf. Mr. Burgess said—Last evening the prisoner came in and called for half a pint of beer, with which he was served. Without paying for it he took it outside. He, in a few sepnds, brought it back, and said he would have it filled up. He was asked for the money, when he told him (pro secutor) he would see him -- fi rs t. H e got over the counter and turned prisoner out. Prosecutor was returning inside his house again when prisoner seized hire by the throat and tried to strangle him. Ile then bit him on the right arm, biting a piece of flesh clean out. (Pro secutor had his arm bound up.) Prisoner was again put out, and he again seized prosecutor by the throat, and then bit him in the left hand, and had not a man pulled him off by the hair of his head he (pro secutor) would have been still further injured. Two officers came up and took the prisoner. Pro secutor's scarf and waistcoat were torn and ren dered unfit for further use. Mr. Mansfield said the prisoner was more like a wild beast than a human being. Ile must be impri soned and kept to labour for two months. THE RIOTING AT BIRMINGHAM. BIIIMIXOHAM, Thursday Evening. Neither last night nor to-day h as th e re been any attempt made to r enew t h e d i stur b ances ; the streets have been open ag a i n to-day, an d t h ere is every ap pearance of a restor a ti on of order. S o me degree of alarm has been creat e d b y rumours th a t particular places were to be attacked, chiefly those belonging to the Roman Catholic body, but nothing has been attempted, and the authorities are prepared. Mur phy's lecture was thinly attended last night. To morrow it is "The Confessional Unmasked." The subject is exciting, but every precaution will be taken against an outbreak. evening, and they m ee t again at 6 __. Some of the magistrates paraded the streets last t o -night. The principal of th ose who were wo unded in the melee on Monday r ece i ved scalp wou nds ; in most cases they are reco ver i ng. The mos t ser ious case is that of Frankon, a po li ceman, w ho, according to the evidence of Dr. Wright, house surgeon to the Queen's Hospital, has two very severe scalp wounds and a dislocation of the left shoulder. The skull is also exposed, but the man is going on favourably. The two men in charge for this offence have been committed for trial at the assizes. No estimate of the amount of damage done has yet been made ; but the property destroyed was of a very poor description, and the rioters on Monday were beaten before much mischief to more valuable property was done. Lieutenant-Colonel Brockman presided at the lecture last night. In the course of his remarks Murphy said—" I will show that the Virgin Alary was a Protestant, and no Roman Catholic. (Hear, hear.) And I will prove it from their own Bible. I am now quoting from the second chapter of John's Gospel, and mark my words. 'On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.' What slhvyharileenot the nunneries ? does this prove?

Then, I say, we know not of what the nuns die. (Hear, hear.) Then, I say, wo should have coroner's in quests over the nuns. (Loud cheers, and cries of "We will.") In conclusion he said—" His object was to protect their wives a.nl daughters. If mayor 3 and magistrates did not care for their wives, and daughters he did. (Applause.) He eared for his wife, and therefore she should not go to the confessional. And if other folks were careless about Popery, he should not be so, because if Popery got the upper hand he could not speak. (Hear, hear.) ) It was a shame and an insult that in the 19th century the military had to be employed in such work as they now had."

THE PRISONERS IN ABYSSINIA. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said that he would ask the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government what was the condition, and what steps had been taken in the matter relative to the prisoners who were in the dungeons of King Theodore. He would quote from a work well known, in which Captain Spoke, a gentleman who been 10 years in those dis tricts, says that Mr. Cameron. her Majesty's consul in Abyssinia had, with their families, been kept three years in confinement by King Theodore. He thought that the attention of the Houses of Parliament ought to be called to the question, and as it was a national question, where the honour and integrity of the country was concerned, it should be taken up by her Majesty's Government. We ought to vindicate the honour of the na tion by inquiring into every point connected with iniquitous a matter. - What he would ask was—what aro the number, condition, and quality of the British subjects confined in Abyssinia, and what steps had been taken in the matter by her Majesty's Government, and whether any steps had been taken, and whether it was their in tention to take any stops in the matter. Lord DERBY said that anticipating the question of the noble lord, he had made the fullest inquiries at the Foreign Office. The number of captives altogether was 18, and communications had been continually addressed to the Emperor of Abyssinia. A letter bad been sent out to the Emperor, to which, although they knew it had been re ceived, no answer had arrived. With regard to all the papers, they should bo happy to give the house all the in formation on the subject. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE asked whether the prisoners were still in chains. Lord DERBY said he could not answ er that, but the last information was that they were not. THE COMMISSION ON RITUALISM. The ARCHBISHOP OF YORK said that he objectedto certain persons whose names were placed on the Ritual istic Commission. Several prominent gentlemen appeared upon it had pledged themselves to one sid . eor w the other. There were two gentlemen who had written on the question from opposite points of v. He should therefore on those grounds object to them serving on the Commission. The subject then dropped. THE INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE BILL. On the moving of the third reading of this bill, Lord SHAFTESBURY stated that whoever might object to any increase in . the Episcopate, no one could deny the great Spiritual destitution in Eng land and Ireland. He found that iu the diocese of Rochester there were 601 benefices, many of which were without residence, and 181 under £2OO. 'rho late inde fatigable Bishop ofi London had stated that he wanted 2A more clergymen for parochial assistance. If aid was not given to supply the spiritual and moral wants of the people, if nothing was done by the new Reform Bill to alleviate this want, not want of good feeling from impotence to do so ; he (the noble earl) would not give 25 years for the existence of the British empire. He had no objection to the in crease of the number of bishops, but the amount required for the creation of three bishops would be not less to maintain their property than £200,000. The spiritual wants of the people ought to bo the first consideration of the house. The Bishop of OS FORD said that this was one of the most important questions that could come before the house. He could not, however, agree with the noble lord's figures at all. Now it was a fact that out of the episcopal fund the the bishops had boon giving £350,000 a year to small livings. lie did not wish that there should bo an addition of the bishops for the sake of the prelates themselves, but in the words of the noble earl opposite, their appointment was to strengthen and inspirit .the clergy in the country. The sum mentioned by the noble lord opposite would go but very little towards re lieving the spiritual wants of the country. He thought that the clause relating to the common fund should be left out altogether, and the matter left entirely to Parliament. [LEFT SMOG.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THis EVENING. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 31, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated tha, he proposed to insert in the clause the names of the gentle men proposed as Boundary Commissioners, viz., Lord Eversley, Lord Penrhyn, Mr. Walter, Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Russell Gurney, Mr. Bramstone, and Sir J. Duckworth. The right hon. gentleman said he should, if it was the wish of the house, postpone proceeding with the motion until the new clauses were brought up. Mr. GLADSTONE thought that course would be the ' most desirable one to pursue. Mr. BRIGHT complained that the names of the gentle men proposed, however unobjectionable, would not give great satisfaction, becalso hone of them had taken any very active part in theirtssing of the bill. He thought it desirable to appoint a body in which the public would have conlid,nce, and that there should be coma claust framed to define the powers of the Commissionem ife was not alt disposed to co-der such extens:ve powers as it was now proposed to entrust to the Commissioners with out sonic ilimt as to their authority. Hu thought the right hon. gentlen:an, in the inter,st of the bill, would lipp.tint upon the cetmnissi , n at least one gentleman who had shown during the discussion of the bill au honest tut,' earnest desire to make the bill a really good one for the representation of the pooph.. Cilon,.l KNOX desired to know whether the hon. mem ber for Birmingham wished to hive seine of the Reform League or those who made the row in Hyde Park upon the commission ; or did he desire a selection from the Fenians, whose petition, which was presented by the hon. member, and was received with disdain and disgust, was ultimately laid upon the table of the house; or did the hon. gentleman wish a selection made from the names it contained; or did he want Mr. Boales appointed to serve on the commission ? Sir J. GREY though; under tho circumstances, the postponement of settling the names of the boundary com missioners was most desirable. Mr DENISIAN thought it would be better to have men of pronounced opinions as boundary commissioners, and that, instead of those names submitted, a thorough-going Liberal on the one side, and a thorough going Tory on the other, should at least be placed upon the commission. Be fcre the matter was brought on for discussion he hoped the right hon. gentleman would reconsider the composition of the commission. Mr. BERESFOItD HOPE said that it would have been the best and wisest course to have made the ap pointment of the Boundary Commissioners antecedent to the consideration of the Government proposal relative to the distribution of seats. (Hear, hear.) He felt the motion as it stood was one that would lead to party agitation for further elective privileges in the course of a year or so, a matter that was extremely undesirable. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said tho greatest care had been exercised in collecting the names of those gentlemen whom it was proposed to submit as mem bers of the boundaries of boroughs and counties. The great object of the Government was to get the best members for the commission, without respect to party; and he thought it was the best that could be devised. He could not undertake to lay a copy of the instructions givon to the commission before the names of the commissioners were fixed upon. It was of great importance that party feeling should bo set aside on this occasion, and on Alon day, when the question was discussed, ho thought there would be no difficulty in coming to a clear conclusion in the matter. Mr. BRIGHT objected very much to the composition of the commission. He did not see why Lord Penrhyn, a member of the House of Peers, should be a member ; then, again, the hon. member for Southampton—he had, in addi tion to his Parliamentary duties, his duties as Recorder. Mr. Walton had been a county member, and hoped to be so again, besides which he was connected with a powerful journal, to which the Government appeared to pay a great deal of court at the present moment—besides which he en tertained a fanatical admiration for what was called the territorial system of the country. Mr. Bramston had been a county member, and, on the whole, the commission, if it was appointed as at present proposed, would not give satis faction to the House or the country. He did not for one instant imply that any of the gentlemen would act otherwise than with the greatest honour, but still he thought that they were not the best fitted per sons who could be selected. He had an opinion that com missioners ought not to bo members of Parliament at all ; but he would not further refer to that matter. With re spect to the assistant commission—the actual persons who would have to do the work—they were to be appointed by the seven gentlemen commissioners. That was not alto gether the best arrangement that could be come to. In the event of no alteration being made in the consti tution of the commission, he should move the omission of some of the names and the introduction of others, and also an addition to the number if such should be thought desirable. He did not see nhy the number should be seven. He thought nine would be a better number, and would enable a stronger and more efficient body being selected. He gave notice of his intention of doing as he intimated, if it should become necessary, on Monday next. After some further discussion, the consideration of the subject was postponed until Monday next. Clause 32, on account of the rejection of the clause relative to voting papers, was struck out. On clause 33 being proposed, Mr. DENMAN moved an amendment, the effect of which was to extend the provisions of the 79th sec. of the Gth of Victoria, chap. 18, to the new voter as well as the old one. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the motion could be more easily done by striking out the clause, as the object he bad in v iew was, he thought, effected by the 40th clause. The clause was accordingly struck out, and clauses 31 and 35, which related to rating, having been previously considered and agreed to, clause $G was then taken into consideration, which proposed to treat the corrupt pay ment of rates as bribery. Sir B. KNIGHTLEY moved an amendment to the clause, and considered the payment of the railway travel ling expenses of a voter going to poll might just as well be treated as bribery. Mr. ROEBUCK. thought if the words were left out it would be going against the entire spirit of the act. If a man was excused from payment of rates he was not a per son who ought to be upon the roll of voters. (Hear, hear.) Suppose a man were to say to a person seeking his vote, " I've not paid my rates," that person would re ply, " Oh, very well, I'll pay them for you, and then you can vote for me." Such an arrangement it would bo ridiculous to look upon in any other light than bribery. A long discussion followed, during which it was sug gested that tho clause should be taken out of the bill and referred to the committee at present sitting to inquire into corrupt practices at elections. Tho amendment of Sir R. Knightly was ultimately negatived without a division. Sir F. Goldsmid then moved an amendment in another part of the clause to the effect that any person paying the rates of another person, to enable him to vote, should be deemed guilty of bribery. This amendment was agreed to, and on the question that the clause stand part of the bill, Mr. DENMAN moved that it be struck out Gf the bill altogether. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause,... 250 Against it, ... 196 Majority, ... ... ... ... L-4 The house was engaged in discussing the next clause up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock. LONDON GAZETTE.-THIS EVENING. WAR-OFFICE, PALL-MALL, JUNE 21.

In the towns excitement spreads rapidly, from the gregarious habits of the people, who spend much of their time in the streets in fine weather, listening to loca agitators, who misrepresent and exaggerate political and religious matters, with the more effect because a great many of the labouring classes are unem ployed, and suffering more or less from poverty and privation. The conduct of the jurors and witneFses during the trials at the Special Commissions in Dub lin, Cork,and Limerick proves that the heart of society is not so unzound as might be supposed; and, with few exception 3, the classes who possess property, and might b.; expected to poPsess the franchise, even under a lieform Act, might be relied on to discharue their duties to the Constitution fairly and in a loyal . spirit. In closing the Cummission at-Limerick yes terday the Solicitor. General spoke in the bightst terms of the conduct c,f the jurors and of the wit nesses, and especially of the constabulary, who showed so much courage, intelligence, and fairness between the Crown and the people. At 10 o'clock the Judges took their seats on the bench. The court was densely crowded. The prisoners con victed of treason-felony, but not sentenced, were ordered to be put forward. Chief Justice Monahan then passsed sentence as follows :—Hennessy and I Sheahan to penal servitude for seven years each ; Sullivan, penal servitude for five years ; Michael Riordan, who pleaded " Guilty," two years' imprisonment at hard labour. Michael Grogan % who had only been married on Shrove Tue,sda and next morning, Ash Wednesday, left hi s house and joined the insurgents, and Carroll, were sentenced by Judge Keogh to two years' imprisonment at hard labour. Edward Cahill, a respectable young farmer, and of gentlemanly appearance, was then put forward, and arraigned under the Whiteboy Act. He pleaded " Guilty," and, with the consent of the Crown, he was allowed out on bail, himself in £2OO and two sureties in £lOO each, to keep the peace and come up for sentence when called on. The following pleaded " Guilty" to appearing in arms, and were sentenced to periods of imprisonment varying from 12 to six months, with hard labour :—Daniel Murphy, Thos. Ahern, Patrick Barrett, Thomas O'Donnell, Patrick Pigott, Patrick Warde, Patrick Maguire, Michael, Foley, Thomas Begley, Patrick Crowly, Michael Daley, Daniel Curly, Michael Walsh, Robert Rior dan, Thomas Meehan, William Turner, and Mi chael Hogan. The trials of five prisoners in cus tody were postponed to next assizes, and eight others were discharged by proclamation. Th e Solicitor-General then rose and delivered an do. quent address in reference to the evil consequences • of the Fenian conspiracy, instancing the baneful r©. sults which had followed from the movement. At Waterford a subscription has been commenced for the mother of the young man who was killed, and who was her sole support. The constable who is accused of inflicting the fatal wound is an object of great popular hatred. So also is a woman, named Dalton, who volunteered to give evidence in his favour, stating that she saw a number of per sons beating him, and that she heard him cry for mercy. For the moment the deceased is treated as a martyr, but the excitement will soon subside. Fever and Cholera in Lombardy. The vague reports that have been circulated in regard to the healthiness of Milan and the environs of the Lakes Maggiore, Como, and Lugano, are ex aggerated statements of the truth. Nevertheless they have sufficed to scare many visitors away from the district and have diverted the line of tour of many Englishmen. The so-called, " Febbre petechiale" which has been described as a deadly epidemic raging in Lombardy appears to be a mild typhus, especially characterised by the occurrence of dusky purple spots known to medical men as purpura. The di sease is not of a bad type, and is most prevalent in the villages distant about 20 miles from Milan. The presen o t outbreak is specially attributed to the mise rable and half-starved condition of the peasantry, owing to the failure of the crops during the last few years, and their living chiefly on stale Indian-corn bread. A like epidemic mace its appearance in Lombardy in 1814. It raged in 1817-18 with great violence in France, Germany, and England; and ap pears to havelingered ever since in Lombardy. Up to the present time the ravages of the disease have been confined to the lowest class of the rural population. The disease has been more fatal to women than men, and has not spread beyond the province of Milan. Three medical men, however, have fallen victims at their posts to the epidemic. Few cases have occurred in Milan, and these have been treated in the Ospidalo Maggiore, specially set apart for fever cases, and situated immediately within the walls of the city. The total number of cases of petechial fever that have been officially reported up to June 11 in the province of Milan, since the outbreak of the epide mic in October, 1866, is made up as follows :—ln the district of Busto Ariojio, 575 cases ; of these 141 died and 393 recovered, and 41 are under treatment. Nova, 268 cases ; 37 deaths and 166 recoveries, and 65 under treatment. Basano, 39 cases ; 2 deaths, 13 recoveries, and 14 under treatment. Milan, 10 cases; 1 death and 9 recoveries. Rotunda Hospi tal, 165 cases ; 24 deaths, 102 recoveries, and 39 under treatment. The cholera broke out at Bergamo during the winter, and was apparently introduced there by the troops returning from Venetia after the late war. It has since appeared in the province of Brescia, and some cases have occurred at Cas tiglione d'Adda, in the province of Milan, and in that of Cremona. The city of Milan has been en tirely free from the disease up to June S —a fact, no doubt, due to the precautionary measures adopted by the authorities. The following is a list of the cases that have occurred in Lombardy since February :—•ln the pro vinces of Bergamo and Treviglio, Clusone, and other communes, 565 cases; of these 365 died, 138 recovered, and 65 are under treatment. In Bresci and Chiori, 64 cases ; 27 deaths, 15 recoveries, and 22 under treatment. In Castiglione d'Adda, 16 cases ; 11 deaths, whilst 5 remain under treatment. The above facts have been officially reported by Drs. Ambrosoli and Peligrini, the heads of the sani tary commission of Milan, and are corroborated by Dr. Walker, the English physician resident at Milan.

Benedict has now given fin• over thirty years in succession, and which is invariably looked upon as the principal event in the musical season, is fixed for next Monday afternoon, at St. James's Hall. The programme is ono of the most extraordinary ever issued, as it contains the names of all the great stars of the musical world, in eluding the latest and most brilliant Madlle. Christine Nilsson, Madlle. Titiens, Madame Vilda, Madame Euequist, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Trebelli, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Santloy amongst the vocalists, and Madame A. Goddard, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, Mr. ()ulna ; M. Ganz, Sainton, Paquo, Howell, Pratte; Harper, and the great ►naestro Benedict himself amongst the instrumentalists. With such enormous attractions a brilliant audienao is a certain result ; but Were only half the eminent performers to appear, the estimation in which M. Benedict is held by all lovers of music is so great that we believe the hall has yet to be built that would contain all, or even the majority, of those anxious to testify their appreciation of his merits, either as a composer or as one of our most gifted per• formers.
