Her new elites'. tainment (the production of which has been twice post poned on account of severe illness) WAS pro. duced last evening, and, although she was manifeatly still suffering from illness, its success was as complete and as deserved as that of its predecessors. The subject of the present entertainment is the Descriptive Poets and Minstrels, Ancient and Modern, and it con sists of a short but succinct resume of the history of de• scriptive ballad poetry in all countries, from the days of the ancient bards down to those of Shelley and Southey, illustrated by a variety cf ballads and songs, introducing, among others, William Julius Michle's ballad of Cumnor Hall, the Spanish ballad " Gentle River;" Schiller's far famed song'of " The Diver," a very quaint Danish fuiry lay, entitled the "Ferryman,' which was rapturously encored ; and Southey's pathetic descriptive ballad of " The Idiot." These have all been composed expressly for this enter• tainment by Mr. Harries Wilson, of whose compositions, judging fr om t h e spec i men o f l ast even i ng , t h e mu sical world will, we opine, desire to hear more. They are full of spirit and originality, and abound in dramatic effect. He accompanied the fair lecturer on the pianoforte, and proved himself to be as brilliant a performer as he is, delightful as a composer. Miss Seyton delivered the lecture excellently; her voice is sweet and musical, and her elocution perfect. It is quite a treat to listen to her beautiful decla mation. We were delighted to hear her an nounce that she contemplates continuing the subject down to the *present day, and that she has in preparation an entertainment illustrating the deserip. tire poems and ballads of Thos. Hood, Charles Mackay, and Eliza Cools, to whose genius she paid a most high compliment— a compliment as graceful as it w a s merited. The entertainment concluded with a new comics medley scene, in the arranging of which a good scor e of composers have lent a hand, being A Lyttel H i stor i e of ye Operatic and Streete Minstretsie in ye Present Tyme; an excellent dr o ll er y o f th e Parry school, wh i ch was sung and acted with infinite humour and spirit. At the conclusion the applause was most enthusiastic, and the floor was nearly covered with the bouquets which were shovvf red upon the fair lecturess. This entertainment will be one of the most popular that Miss Seyton has yet produced. The hall was crowded in every part. T HE ROY A L GENERAL ANNUITY SOCIETY. PATRON—The QUEEN.

ANTAGONISM OF CLASSES. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) The poor curse the selfishness and tyranny of the rich,, and the rich:complain of the ingratitude:and greedi ness of the poor. •The hands that toil aro too often denied the guerdon of their labour, and the hands thtt give are grudged a thanksgiving for their bounty. 1 a wealthy recipient of the starving labourer's ear nings talks of the "lower orders " with cnatempt. The deceiving and self-deceived demagogue declares that every ruler is a tyrant, and that wealth is synony. mous with iniquity. What mistaken notions work at the root of all this evil! this antagonism of classes so EAST INDIA HOUSE, JUNE 12, 130. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice — That a Proprietor of East India. Sto2l has given notice that at the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, ; appointed to to held at their house in Leadenhall-street on WEDNESDAY, the 20th inst., he will submit the following motions, viz.:— " That the Court of Directors he requested to take such measures as may be necessary to instruct the Local Government of India to insert in the articles of war for the native army a clause conveying the same privilege to time native army, of demanding copies of the record, as is now enjoyed by the European soldiery under the articles of war framed by the British Legislature, 4th October, 184 g. " That the Court of Directors di lay before the Court of Proprie tors the proceedings of the general court-martial held on Shaik Ali, a private in the ii company of the 30th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry, held at Vellore on the Bth November, 1842, together with copy of the judgment of the Marquis of Tweeddale, releasing :he prisoner en the ground that he had been permitted to return to his duty after the offence..

On the entire completion of the enormous structure, the interchange of trAnsit and conveyancl of corre spondvnce between the capitals of England and Ireland will be daily within the compass of 10, 12, and 13 hours. There are many reasons for accelerating the period of this result, and for completing the last arterial link, which there is every hope for expecting will be done before the beginning of the autumn. At present, owing to the " break" at Bangor, there is a delay of a full hour, and much vexatious inconvenience is occasioned by the necessity of passengers by all the trains getting out and being conveyed over the straits, and Telford's sus pension-bridge, four miles round, to Llanfair by omnibus, where they meet with other trains that take them on to Holyhead. The inducements also operating on the rail way company for the speedy accomplishment of the work are great, in consequence of the preparations, ropes, and apparatus putting a stop to the navigation of vessels, to the owners of which they are compelled to make heavy compensation for the obstruction. The past and present modes of travelling between Chester and Holyhead present such extraordinary contrastsas to be well deserving of notice. In 1685 it took the then Lord Clarendon, at that time Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land, from six o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, nine hours, to got from Conway to Bangor, a distance of fourteen miles, whilst a short time since the distance was accomplished by the present 'Lord Clarendon, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in exactly 'twenty minutes. At the same period it took a King's messenger, by " express," six days to gat over the ground now traversed between London and Chester, 183 miles, in five hours; and it is but twenty years ago since the same distance by coach took more than twenty four hours.

Grievously d o th e y err w ho act as if the "lower orders" justly dep reca t e d by t r ue patriots and philanthropists. were only created for the service of the higher, and who seek to bolster up injustice by preaching submission to inevita hie laws (easy submission on their part, for whose espacis 1 benefit those laws would seem to be devised). and grievously do they err ; b u t equa ll y gr i evous i s th e ir error„ .who, in a seem i ng zeal for liberty, would up roat every social landmark, and, under the name of equality, institute only organized anarohy. Equally mistaken are they both, and equally faller sous arc the ideas upon which they act. The one ad vo , aates " the enormous faith of many, made for one," and the other upholds the unnatural doctrine of indivi dual independence. Every man for himself, and for himself alone! Very different are the teachings of reason and true philanthropy; very different was the wisdom of th at fable of Menenius, which rester, d order and peace,to disaffected Rome. We would recommend all those who lament (and who does not) the class antagon ism of our day, and who, perhaps, by their lamentations, are fc serving the evils which they deplore, to read over the b est treatise'upon this subject ever penned. Among the thousand and ore panaceas daily brought forward as the, only and infallible remedies for every evil, there is not one to be compared with it in sober sense and practi , cal philanthropy. We . allude to an epistle of Alexh ruler Pope's, the third epistle of the "Essay on Man," which treats of " the nature and state of man with respect to society." The great lesson which this epistle teaches I, the lesson which mankind have so much occa sion to learn, is the doctrine of mutual dependence and reciprocity of benefits. " Nothing is foreign ; parts relate to whole; One all-extending, all-preserving soul Connects each being, greatest with the least, Made beast in aid of man, and man of beast ; All served, all serving; nothing stands alone." According to the philospher-poet, as long as society presented its primitive simplicity, class antagonism was unknown. • .5 1-.. 13 CO c a tc , h v es ie h t e . r . ............ l 3 pq 0 F•=l 18 200 -- 550 Leigh - 1161 256 Maldon EAST INDIA HOUSE, Aran. 25, 1849.

TIMES.—We do not know what the united services would do without the Napiers. Their pens are as ready as their swords. To take the command of the Indian army or the Channel fleet, or to make a fierce onslaught in a paper controversy, comes alike handy to them. There is hardly a topic connected with either branch of . . " Love all the faith, and all th' allegiance then, For Nature knew no right divine in men." But in latter times this happy truth is disbelieved ; ambition has taken the place of benevolence, and mutual rivalry has put an end to mutual co-operation. Man has forgotten, or proudly denied his dependence upon his fellow-men, and tho tale of wrongs suffered, has su perseded the grateful enumeration of benefits con ferred. In the midst of such deplorable confusion, the poet exquisitely shows the duty of the "studious head and generous mind," " the follower of God and friend of human kind," a duty which is now especially incumbent upon all who claim the titles of patriots and philanthropists, and to their attention we more particu larly commend it. It is for them, instead of upholding tyranny or fomenting rebellion, to teach Leave London. 9 0 a.m. *5 0 p.m. 8 45 p.m. Leave Chester. 2 55 p.m. 10 5 5 p.m. 3 45 a.m. Arrive at London.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, he Company being prohibited, by the P4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is drily registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting- a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p std for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction, from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although - the assured life shoald go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER AMP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor Ls benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

Order, Union, full consent of things; Where small and great, where weak and mighty, mule To s , !.rve, not suffer; strengthen, not invade; More powerful each as needful to the rest, And in proportion as it blesses, blest." Theve is a noble philosophy and a Christian philan• thropy in these _lines. The truth which they so do quently- enforce few persons will presume to call in questic n; but unfortunately it is a truth which, tacitly acknowledged, is practically neglected. Still society is distracted on the one hand by tho lamentations of self styled philanthropists, who weep over unrealised and impossible projects, and on the other by the harsh rea sonings of equally self-styled utilitarians, who bid us "Let the world run upon its own sure wheel, You stop its progress if you pause to feel."

Application to be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Office, Derby f thcse rival combatants are sincere in their professions, WEEK DAYS. SUNDAYS . they - will recognise, upon reflection, that their object is, or should be, the same, "the greatest good of the greatest number." Hero philanthropy and utilitari anism are both concerned. If their advocates are honest; they will admit as much. Individual and national prosperity go hand , in hand. Rich and poor high and low, employers and employed, arc—could they but see it—mutual benefactors. Precisely the same arguments may be applied to co-operation be tween different classes and commerce between different countries. Mutual assistance is the law of nature. Those politicians who deprecated " dependence upon foreigners" advanced no greater fallacy than the class legislators, who speak of the separate and conflicting interests of portions of one community. When the antagonism of the agriculturists and manu facturers was at its height, Lord Ashley eloquently declared, ttat so far from those rival interests Leing in reality opposed to one another, " every revolution of the steam-engine impelled the ploughshare." Be it remem bered, then, the true interests of no one elate interfere with those of another, but individual passions and errors do interiere. It is not to the interest of the wealthy that their poorer brethren should be oppressed or under paid—on the contrary. Nevertheless, injustice and avarice, on the part of individuals among the higher classes, add to, if they do not occasion, the awful wretch edness of he lower orders., So likewise the indolence and indifference of the well-meaning majority add greatly to the burthen and the sufferings of the sor rowful— Time, Roshr- l i ville.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, ezc., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copcer, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferrel from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously e"posed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to .ay it on.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import ns must prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every irdividual. How this mey be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our cmcentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain gores, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enablng them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : BEADY MADZ.

FLOATING OF THE BRITANNIA TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER THE MENAI STRAITS. BANGOR, MONDAY EVENING.—The launch of this mechanical monster is now no longer conjectural, Mr. Stephenson and his staff of engineers having fixed Tues day, at half-past five o'clock, when the tide will in every way favour the intention. Bangor, two miles from the tube, is fail of visitors, so are Conway and Beaumaris. A great rush of trains and travellers is expected to night and to-morrow from Liverpool and Manchester. Amongst those who arrived this morning, and inspected the stupendous works, are Lord Vivian, Lord and Lady Clonmel, Colonel Douglas Pennant, Lord Mostyn, Arch deacon Froude, Sir Francis Head, Sir Richard Bulkeley, Mr. Locke; M.P., Mr. Brunel, Mr. Guppy, and several of the authorities of Carnarvon, Chester, and Beaumaris. The whole Bret of the straits presents a scene of the ut most animation, and the g reatest anxiety is evinced as regards the success of the grand operation. Mr. Ste phenson, Captain Claxton, and the assistant engineers, ' Messrs. E. and L. Clark, and Mr. Wild, are on the works unremittingly day and night. Several t h ou sand tickets have alrea d y been issued to the spec tators, who will be on the top of the tubes, and on the adjoining heights along the coast. To-day there is a sott southwestern wind with every probability of its con tinuing to-morrow, and in that event it will ma terially assist the motion of the great voyager. The e ropes dtehda,t cover to rt, stowapace it ace aolto fifteenng on the miles. quar ter of a mile long are strung at the pier heads along the straits, on which are suspended every variety of flags. The entire width of the straits at this point is 11,000 feet, and the depth at high water over which the tube will have to be moored between ten and twelve fathoms.

To-day its hei▪ ght, at 7h. 46m., is 17.4; to morrow it will be 18.4; and on Wednesday it will be 19.3, the highest. The entire operation is expected to be over by eight o'clock, exactly 11 minutes after which the tide suddenly turns. The two end tubes nre nearly finished, as well as the grand central tower. A number of gentlemen's yachts and small boats are plying up and down the stream, between the kidge and pangor. the service on which some member of this vigorous race has not indited graphic commentaries or slashing replies. At one time a letter on our national defences, at another a reply to the Finance Association, bears testimony to the energies of a family whose literary fame is imperish ably associated with the annals of the Peninsular war. In our columns of to-day will be found a letter from its naval representative to Lord J. Russell—a letter which is entitled to public attention both by its subject and the character of its' author. It has often been our duty to point out the unreasonable and shameless extrava gance which has signalized our dockyard expenditure. The favour with which the naval service is regarded by the majority of Englishmen has served as a pretext for iorofli g ate disbursements of the public money which would have been tolerated in no other department. The worst is that we have have had nothing to show for our money. We have gone on adding extravagance to extravagance, building and destroying, destroying and rebuilding, refitting and pulling to pieces again, as if the money were actually burning in our pockets, and we had nothing else to do but to play ducks and drakes with it. All this we have noticed before. The Committee of the House of Commons on naval expenditure confirmed it, a:though, as Sir C. Napier writes, there were no naval members neon that committee. Sir Charles, doubtless, could furnish instructive details of the manner in which we have built three deckers that would not float, and then rased them into frigates that would not sail ; bow we have constructed brigs that necessarily went to the bottom whenever there was a stiffer gale or a rougher sea than usual ; and how the mere patching of some. 74's cost more than the original build of first-rates should have done. But Sir Charles confines himself to our steam navy, and his experience is instructive enough. Perhaps nothing could be more curious than the following :—" After a long and patient investigation," he writes, "it was discoversi that in no instance since the formation of a steam-marine had the con structor of the ship, the maker of the engines, and the seaman been brought together to commit on one of the most difficult points of naval architecture. It never entered into the heads of the Admiralty, the con structor of the vessel, or the maker of the engines, that a steam-vessel of war was comparatively useless unless her engines and, above all, her boilers were protected fro= enemies' shot; nor did they even think that it was ne cessary to have the maindeck ports in frigates sufficiently high to use their guns when loaded even with the small proportion of coals they were enabled to carry; the main deck was in consequence never armed; but, nevertheless, the Committee of the House of Commons reported that we had 20 steam-irigates." These 20 turn out after wards to be 3, viz , the Terrible, the Sidon, and the Odin. The rest are mere corvettes, which mount six guns, and owe their appellation of frigates to the fact of being commanded by Post-Captains. After the Admi ralty had fur some years continued to build steam-frigates which were no frigates at all, and only imperfect steamers —vessels which could not stow away the coal re quired for the power of their engines, and which exposed their engines to the enemy's shot—Sir Charles got leave to build the Sidon ; the engineer and the builder were brought together, the plans were con sidered and reconsidered for months, and at last a vessel was completed, which, though, as Sir Charles acknow ledges, far from being a perfect model, yet was free from many of the imperfections of other steamers, and was eventually able to stow away 700 tons of coal, and carry twenty-four 68-pounders. But, strange enough, though the Lords of the Admiralty had been taught by the most ruinous experience the necessity of beginning a new system a new system of ship-building, at the very time the Sidon was building, two new steamers—the Terrible and the Retribution—were also built on the old system, and with the old success. The former, with her 1,840 tons, and her 800-horse power, can stow only 500 tons of coals, has no room for troops or stores, and, as Sir Charles well says, " is rather an expensive advice-boat" The latter is of 1,680 tons, with an 800- horse engine, "carries no maindeck guns, and is so ineffi cient that her power is about to bo reduced to 400- horse." So much for their Lordships' appreciation of experience! Nor is this all. "At this very moment, notwithstanding the report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the want of concert between the shipbuilder and the engineer, they have never been up to this moment brought officially together; and, what is still more extraordinary, the Surveyor of the Navy has not the power of summoning them into his presence and pointing out what is necessary to constitute steam ship of war." Again, Sir Charles tells us, "we are even now working in the dark, and the four or five steamers on the stocks will be more inefficient than those in the water." So that the experiments of 25 years will have produced nothing else but a succession of incapable steam ships, of a hybrid description, " too large for corvettes and too small for frigates." This is a national grievance. It demands investigation on the score of national defence and national economy. Those who do not regard this as the era of perfect and pervasive peace will join with the enthusiasts of economical pacification in asking, " Wby have such large sums and so many experi ments brought forth so little?" But while wo cordially concur with Sir C. Napier in his condemnation of the rashness and blindness which have alternately prevailed in the Admiralty, we cannot consent to accompany him to the full extent of his judgment. We wish to have our money's worth for our money. We think the navy an essential source of strength to England, and we be lieve steam-ships to be an indispensable arm of the navy. Here we are at one with the Admiral. But in his auguries and predictions we part company with him. We admit, indeed, that the French are at Rome, but the very peculiarities of that fact incline us to believe that they have no wish to find themselves in the same situa tion at London. That some of their steamers took 2,000 men a piece from Toulon to Civita Vecchia iu 26 hours is very creditable to their celerity and stowage. But we do not see that it proves at all their capacity for war manoeuvres. Half of the largest steamers in the British navy might have done as much, notwithstanding their acknowledged inaptitude for the ends of maritime warfare. We have yet to learn what are the warlike capabilities of the French steam navy under fire. As yet there seems no opportunity likely to present itself for our edification on these points. Till this has been vouchsafed us we may acquiesce in the belief that it is at the best on a foot ing of equality with our own. There is no proof that it is any better than our own, and, in the_ a absence of f proof, we may assume that it is not. As e ar ; to see it the French steam navy goes, we hardly exp pi n clity that it sailing up the Thames with the sr_s We are as steamed from Toulon to Civita Venac:hriaa. little disposed as Sir Charles himself to believe in the but—though pacific predilections of our Anglican s % minority in there may be a violent s and a , not least of all, France—and though any . :vnari) good device for a war with England, . mig ht diverting the passions of angry factions from the hall of the Assembly and °the chair of the President — yet we are convinced that one strong reason would— all others failing—dissuad e the majority of the French people from countenancing an invasafter all, i ion of E s ng the best land— viz , our possess ion of a navy which, in Europe, end of commanders worthy of that navy, The Terrible may cease to be t . errible, and the Retribu- Con may lose her paddles; but in the service which has supplied Nelsons and Napiers, Englishmen are rash enough to believe that there is a bulwark stronger than the inventions of science or the mechanism of engineers.

" For evil is wrought By want of thought, As well as want of heart." Shall we say, then, with the anarchist and the leveller, that the well-being of the poor is incompatible with the existence of the rich? Not so; but it is incompatible with their neglect of duty. The interests of both classes are so insvparably intertwined, that the errors of the one become the injuries of the other, "touching one will strike the other, too." Let this, then, occupy the attention of the reformer. Let him exhort both classes to perform their own duties, and co-operate with, instead of criminating the other. The capitalist alone can give employment to the artizan ; the labour of the artizin augments the wealth of the capitalist; and so on through all gradations. How unwise is it, then, for the labourer to murmur against the employer; but how sinful is it for the employer to grudge the labourer his due reward. " Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth the corn;" aninjunction how utterly disregarded! But this is a reflection which would lead us further than our present purpose. Our argument is simply this—the antagonism of classes is a delusion. Rich and poor are mutually dependent and mutually entitled to respect. Their true equality consists not in similarity of position, but in equality of social rights as fellow-men and brethren. We would not abase the rich to the poverty of the poor, but we would exalt the poor to the honourable position of the rich. Is not he who by his own labour earns his daily bread as much deserv in g of honour and respect as he who owes his wealth to the labour of his ancestors? To our thinking much more so! The man duly impressed with the truth of such reflections would as cordially grasp the hardened hand of labour as the soft palm of some effeminate lordling. All are mutually dependent, all should be mutually use ful and mutually grateful. For one class to wrong an other is to wrong itself. Rival classes, who refuse to act in concert, impede the right working of the social system, and inflict grievous injury on themselves and on the whole commonwealth. HERR MAXIMILIAN BONNER'S CONCERTS.—It WaS our privilege to form part of the very numerous and delighted auditory who were present at a grand morn ing concert given yesterday morning at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, by the distinguished musician, Herr Maximilian Bohrer, assisted by his unrivalled company of vocal and instrumental artistes, including Herr Strauss, as director of the orchestra, and Herr Henry Bohrer, as the conductor on the piano-forte. The performance commenced at two o'clock precisely, by which time a large number of the nobility and gentry, principally ladies, had assembled to list:n to them. The concert commenced with an over tureas foi (Eleonora), from Beetho ven ; lowed by two German son g s, " S p ra and " Mitgefuh I," co m p osed by Tett:ll'li th i s b d e ev r e a b n 9 d " o beautifully sung by Herr Sclicmhoff Bohrer, on h The " Elegi te e h ," f r om Romberg, by Herr Maximilian violincello, succeeded exquisite taste, which r ne e x pe t, at a e n d d ly was elicited e x ec t hueteapplausei an of th e audience. Madame P alm and Herr Pischek sang mo st effectively the duet " Cru del perehe,,, from Mozart, as did also Maddle. De Treffz, a sweet German song, called " Liebchen wo bist Du," composed by Merschner. Herr Ernst executed a fantasia of his own composition on the violin in a manner worthy his fair fame, and which called forth enthusiastic plaudits. Nor can we omit to mention the Arietta Italians "I a fioraga" of Meddle. Graumann, whose style of singing produced quite a sensation. Indeed, of upwards of twenty pieces which composed the programme, each and all was exe cuted in the most faultless manner. We feel it a some what invidious task to select any particular one for especial mention. We can but express our unqualified admiration of the whole series, and can cordially recom mend, to the patronage of our readers, an orchestra oi such unquestionable talent as that which has been organ ized under the auspices of Herr Maximilian Bohrer.
