Why, the 2,300 performers would of them selves nearly fill Exeter-hall, and there would not be much comfortable space for anybody to listen to them. To erect in town a building that would be secure enough for the occasion would cost an enor mous sum of money - and attention has therefore been turned to the drystal Palace, as not only the largest and the best, but in fact the only possible concert-hall in which the festival can be held. It may perhaps be remembered that when the present Palace was opened the music was so magni ficent that, through Lord Palmerston, the Queen " signified her opinion that it had the finest effect which her Majesty had ever heard ;" and those who were present at that inauguration can fully echo the opinion. The fact is, however, that on every occasion the performance of music in the Pa lace has a most startling effect. The ordinary play ing of the band, and much more those operatic concerts which were among the chief attractions of Sydenham during the past season, had an effect which could be attained in no concert-room. Conceive the difference between a concert-room and the Palace. In the former we find ourselves in a hot and staring crowd—nothing to be seen but a sea of heads and the bare walls of the room, and if the prospectis relieved by the sight of fair women there they are utterly wretched, hiding their shoulders with an opera cloak, and hiding their faces alternately with an opera glass and a fan. In the Palace, on the other hand, this one art of music which we are assembled to hear is but the complement of many others • we are surrounded with noble statuary, with delicate carvings, with lovely colours, with graceful architecture, with a thousand appliances. It is thus amid many other concurrent arts welch supply us with dignified as-' sociations and pleasant surprises that in the Crys tal Palace we listen to the most spiritual art of all ; and this, independently of its splendid accom moation and its excellent capabilities for sound, is the secret of the great success which invariably attends the performance of music in that stately building. Leaving the artistic question, however, what is most interesting to us, and what has especially in duced us to notice the subject in this part of our columns, is the evidence which the mere suggestion of the present plan affords of the great advance in the cultivation of music which has been made in this country, We have no means of forming an accurate comparison, but we suspect we are not far wrong in saying that the yearly sum spent by the people of this country for music alone is about as much as they spend ou allthe other fine artstogether. Good paintings, from their rarity, must always be a luxury ; engravings are chiefly prized ; like Mee cheater printed goods, for their cheapness ; sculp ture has never been thoroughly naturalised ; ar chitecture is only beginning to be appreciated; the drama has miserably declined. Music flourishes ; every town has its concerts, its glee clubs, its maclr : - gal societies, it choral unions; the great citiEs have their large concert-liars, their festivals, their operas ; and now, a century after the death of Handel, it is found possible to assemble together a chorus of 2,000 voices, a large proportion of these being simply trained amateurs, to sing the grandest music which has ever been written in a way which was impossible when the composer was living, if not inconceivable. The difference between Eng land then and England now is indeed vast. How much these musical influences have tended to elevate the national taste and to refine the national - character, to make our homes more happy, and to make our public assemblies more august, to lighten the hearts of the poor, to soften the hearts of the rich, and to bring all classes of society into closer sympathy and union, who shall say ? The advance of one art, too, is an advance fo r a ll ; th e artistic feeling is one that rarely developer itself partially. There is no such thing as monogamy on Parnassus ; a man may marry the whole Nine Muses at once if he likes. The growing appreciation for music, therefore, we may accept as a satisfactory sign of the advancing love of art in general. TRE NORTHERN COIL TRADE.

The preliminary arrangements being completed, his Imperial Majesty was pleased to name Saturday, the Ist of November, for the investiture. At 12 o'clock on that day the several persons appointed to assist at the ceremony assembled at the British Em bassy, where Kiamil Bey, introducer of the ambassadors, and Ernie Bey, one of the Sultan's secretaries, having arrived to attend the Plenipotentiaries, a procession, headed by an escort of the Imperial Guard, was formed from thence to the palace of Dolma-Bagtche r in the following order : Orderlies of the Imperial Court. 1-4 Aides-de-Camp of the Sultan. 3 A.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Nov. 17.-e-Though the wind is still blowing in a northerly direction, we have experi- enced much milder weather since Saturday, and the sea having fallen upon the bar, a considerable number'of coal ' laden vessels have taken their departure during the past 48' hours, with a fair wind, and there are at present but few vessele in the harbours. A. very considerable fleet of light vessels is detained south of Flamboroueh on their passage to the north by the contrary winds. In fact, the roads and bays are reported to be crowded with them. . The sea during the north-east gate of last week was ex ceedingly rough; so stormy indeed was the weather in the early part of the week that powerful steamships could . not keep at sea, and we had no arrival of screw colliers . until Friday. A great number of light vessels lost their anchors and cables while trying to ride out the storm-- 7 well on to 100 of thena-e.and the salvagers and smacks , men on the Norfolk and Suffolk coast will reap a fine ' harvest in fishing them lap, if the weather keeps fine. The sea broke with exceeding violence on our coast during the storm last week, and a considerable amount of injury has been done to the public works in progress a t the harbour-mouths on our coast. The pier works in • the-emtuary of the Tyne ,were a good d ea l d amage d ; several massive coping atonee also were washed from the extremity of the commissioners pier, and a central 1 portion of the south pier a t H artlepool. Large por tieue of the headland were also swept away by the sea from ne ar the lighthouse of the same place. Th e tra d e • of this district is begirning to feel the detention of the large fleet of coal vessels nu their Passage down - from. London. Notwithstanding the severe storm of easualtiee are fewer that; might have week th e shi p pin g t h ave been anticipated. Probably half a d ozen north country vessels have gone ashore south of Burlineton- Her Hartle pool. - b a y. Two vessels have been stranded north of the Tees, A naeaste G eorge A very exciting scene occhrred on , Friday , at pool.

In your com ments upon the speech of Mr. Palk, some days past, you show that you are aware of this fact, for you remark that, though the price of corn when he spoke was higher than bad been anticipated, the value of it was really less to the consumer, as his better means obtained it more easily. This is a principle which we disputed about in 1851. I then contended that a high scale of prices was a low rate of taxes, and a low scale of prices was a high rate of taxes. This has been amply proved during the last five years, for prosperity has steadily followed the advance of prices, and wages have more than equalled them in the advance, in spite of the predictions of the philosophers. " But let me ask you bow you can maintain these high prices with gold at 3/. 17s. 1011. ? Already, in a few weeks' attempt to;recover the gold, the property of the contry has fallen in va4te about 250,000,0001., or 5 per cent, on 5,000,000,000/. ; yet no gold is recovered, and as it can only be recovered reducing English goods in price below the price of gold, what do yon estimate the amount of loss upon the property of the country before you recover 5,000,000 tn. 6,009,010 of gold ? You remark that many ce,nsider it unreasonable that they cannot have money at a fixed price. Well, how money is to be a r.lleasure of value when it is always varying in price it is difficult to understand ; but would it not be list',.se to recollect that until the last 40 years such seri:Jus changes and rapid fluctuations in the rate of di—oount were unknown ? The fault is not with the Bank, but in the law ; the Bank is controlled by the law, and has no means of escape but by commit ting a great fraud upon industry for the benefit cf money and idleness, to save itself. The war has been a small cause of cur trouble; true, the expenditure has been large, but by far the greatest part has been spent within the country, with our manufacturers and our shipowners. We must look elsewhere for a solution of the cause of the pressure. An observer of what was passing during the last three years would notice that 15,000,000 of specie has gone annually to India and China. What had the war to do with this ex port of bullion? Was it sent out for amusement, or in return for imports ? Surely the latter; and althongh the Government may think well to publish fallacious statements of increased exports for which they have no correct data, the fact is, that although our export's have materially increased, our imports have in creased very much more, leaving a balance which the gold is gone to pay. It is in vain to deny this posi tion, for the simple fact of the bullion disappearing proves it ; the bullion must come in if our exports exceeded our impotts ; and the exportation or im portation of bullion are indexes which cannot be mistake❑ of the state of our trade. The Australian gold has given much temporary benefit; were our laws sound that bene fit would be permanent ; but that this country, with a total receipt of hundreds of millions, shbuld be in a state of anxiety for the arrival of the James Baines with 7061,000/. is an evidence of the badness of our laws and the ignorance of our people. The importation of corn is only injurious because we keep our price of gold lower than all our manufactures can be made, therefore gold goes in preference ; if gold was higher in price, manufactures would be exchanged for corn in preference to gold. Saturday, the Bth day of November, in the 20th year of the reign of her Majesty Qaeen Victoria, 1856. I, Robert Mousey, Baron Cranworth, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, intrusted by virtue of her Majesty the Queen's sign manual, with the care and commitment of the custody of the person and estates of persons found idiot, lunatic, or of unsound mind, do, with the advice and assistance of the Right Hon. Sir James Lewis Knight Bruce and the Right Hon. Sir George James Turner, the Lords Justices of the Court of Appeal in Chancery, also being entrusted as afore said, and by virtue and in exercise of the powers or authorities in this behalf vested is me by " The Lunacy Regulation Act, 1853," and •f every other power or authority in anywise enabling me in this behalf, order and direct as follows, that is to say : "You say that gold is an article of commerce, and must follow all its laws. If you had said that gold ought to be an article of commerce and should follow all its laws, I should have agreed with you. You wilfully forget that our absurd laws, which fix the price of gold, per pound sterling, whatever its quantity, destroy all the natural relations which it ought otherwise to have to wards property, produce, and labour, and, in fact, limit our prices and our population by the success or failure of those who make gold-seeking a trade. In short, we have made ourselves the slaves of gold, instead of snak ing it of use to ourselves. " You conclude your article by saying that every man in trade ought to have a sufficient reserve perfectly acce sible. That was the old maxim. Pray inform your readers when, in the old times, there were such sudden and great variations in the rate of discount ; and how any man is to estimate what is a sufficient reserve; for he must not only have an ample supply to avoid the necessity of dis counting at high rates, but he must have an unlimited supply to meet the delay and defalcation in paymentr, which such high rates of discount invariably produce. "The present state of the money-market ought to Lave been evident to all men of any foresight. It was clear to me last spring that before the close of the year the press r e for money would be great, and acoordingly I loved for a committee to inquire into the cause rei the great variations in the quantity and value of money, with a view to remedy the same, if 1 3 ° 8 F.;:ole. This motion was opposed by the Chancel er of the Exchequer, on the ground that it would be a long inquiry—a very curious way of reasoning. I should have thought that the longer the inquiry the sooner it should have been commenced. You also ridiculed my motion, and said I did not know what I wa❑ted ; but it appears now that I knew rather better than you did what was wanted. "In conclusion, sir, I congratulate you upon the progress you have made during the last five years. You have learnt that a high price of corn may be cheaper to the consumer than a low price ; that dear ness and cheapness are only relative and comparative terms ; and you have also discovered that a high rate of interest of money is a great natural disaster, and inflicts a greater amount of inconvenience than famine, earthquakes, floode, conflagrations, or shipwrecks. " Alter this I have little fear of your not shortly discovering that, with a fixed price of gold, lower relatively than the necessary prices of the agricultural and manufactured produce of this country, to afford the means for paying its burdens, it is quite impos• sible to prevent ~ the too frequent repetition of such high rates of interest and such natural disasters." Mr. °cotton, Commoner of Exeter College, Oxford, has '.ieen elected Mitchell exhibitioner. It was nearly midnight before the search was given up, and the town returned to something like its wonted quiet. No attempt was made to pursue the fugitives who landed on the Suffolk shore, and it is believed they made their way to Ipswich. About o'clock on Tuesday morning the Vivid started for her destination, perfect order having apparently been restored on board. In the course of the forenoon the captured legionaries were taken before the borough bench (present the Mayor, C. Sharp, Esq., and F. Hales, Esq.). Three of them, viz., J. Greabermann, L. Schamberger, and L. Mess, were identified by Lieut. Clipperton as ringleaders in the disturbance and the at tack upon himself, the charge against them being that of assaulting with intent to do grievous bodily harm. In answer to Mr. A. E. Church, who appeared for Kiess, the prosecutor said be could not identify him as the party who struck him, but would swear that he was one of those who called out to throw him overboard. The Bench remanded the three prisoners to a special sitting on Wednesday, when the case would be fully gone into. The other 21 prisoners were dismissed with directions to the police to see them out of the town, and they all started by the next train to Colchester. The excuse which Kiess makes for his desire to get on shore is that he intended to be married to a young woman named Death, next Sunday, at Colchester, and he pro duced a certificate from the clergyman of St. Martin's of the due publication of the banns.—Essex Standard of yesterday. 1.

CURIOUS CALCULATION -LENGTH, RREA.PTII, ,OF THL NATIONAL JP Sta. silver, The weight of the national d ebt in gold amounts to 14,088,475 lb s ., or 6,289 tons, 9c wt., 3 q rs., 131b5.; in 141bs. To transport this debt acr oss the seas, in gold, it 266,666,6691b5., or 119,047 tons, 12cwt., lqr., would require a fleet of 25 ships, of 250 tons burthen each. To carry the debt by land it would require 12,580 one-horse carte, each cart being loaded with half a ton of gold. These would extend in one unbroken line 351 miles. If conveyed by soldiers, and every soldier were to carry 501bs. weight I in his knapsack, it would require au army of 281,769 men. Eight hundred millions of sovereigns piled one upon another, or formed into one close column, would extend 710 miles. If this column were commenced at the Land's End and continued northward, it would reach ten miles beyond John O'Groat's House. The same number of sovereigns laid flat, in a stra i g ht line, and touchin g eac h o th er , would extend 11,048 miles, or more than 1i times round the moon. Eight hundred millions of one-pound Bank of England notes, sewed together, would cover a turnpike road 40 feet wide and 1,052 miles long, or from Land's End to John O'Groat's and nearly half-way back ' again. If the notes were sewed together, end to end, they would for m a belt long enough to go four times round the world, and sixteen times round the moon. The whole popula tion of the world is estimated at .a thousand million souls. An equal distribution of the national debt would give Sixteen shillings to every man, woman, and child, or four pounds to every family on the face of the earth, Were Britain to conquer all Europe, and levy a general poll-tax, to liquidate the present debt she must have from every man, woman, and child 51. 17e. 7id., or from every family thrOughout Europe 291.85. 20. Supposing for a moment su ch a thing possible, as that we could procure from the Mexican mines silver in sufficient quantity to pay off the debt, it would so require to bring it to E ng l an d a fleet of 476 ships, of 2 each. To carry it to the Bank of England in 1-horse carte, each containing half a ton of silver, it would take 238,095. These ranged in one unbroken line would ex tend 676 miles, or from Land's End to Wick, 24 miles from John O'Gro a t' s . If carried by m en, each loaded with 501bs. weight, it w ould require 5,33,333, or 1, 391 , 033 in addition to the whole adult male population of Great Britain.

An old gentleman of property, aged 76, stopped a few evenings ago at the wit,d,w of a print:hop on the Boule vards to look at the engravings occasionally snaking ÜBO o f a valuable eyeglass to af4sist his sight. As he was about to quit the spot, he found to his annoyance that the eyeglass had been cut from the cord to which it was attached, and, as he valtn:d it very highly, he broke out into lamentations. A crowd soon collected round him, and presently a well-dressed, gentleman-like looking man, said, " Sir, I perceive your loss causes you great emotion, and therefore I offer you my arm to accompany you home." The old gentleman took the stranger's arm, and as they walked along told him that he was going to dice at the house of a relative, M. de It-. The stranger listened to him with such interest that the old gentleman became loquacious, and gave him an account of the various circumstances of his life • and, amongst other things, he related, w ith e vident pride, that a Ger man prince had, for some services rendered, made him a present of a valuable dinner service in silver-gilt, and he described with some minutes , ss the princi pal articles composing it ; he also said that his valet being absent in Belgium, he had then only an old female servant in his house. When the old gentleman had arrived at the residence of M. do R--, he took leave of the stranger, and, handing him his card, gave him a pressing invitation to visit him. The stranger went straight to the gentleman's house, and said to the old servant, "I come from your waiter, who is at this moment dining with M. de It--, to request you to give me certain certain articles of his dinner service, which he requires for a personage of distinction, who is unexpectedly to dine with that gentlemen," and he gave a description of the articles. As the servant, however, hesita,..rd to give them he said, "To cor vice you that I really come from your master, here is his eyeglass and a card bearing his name and address." On seeing these objects the woman without further' hwitation gave the man the things he asked for, and he went away. But he had not gone far before a man tapped him on the shoulder, and said, " My good Louis 1"--, be kind enough to follow me to the commissary of police I" The person thus addressed turned deadly pale, and looked round as if contemplating flight ; but as he saw a policeman approaching he intimated that he would accompany him. The man who had addressed him was a police agent in plain clothes, and be had seen the robbery of the eyeglass. He at the same time recog nised the thief as a dangerous pickpocket, who con fined his operations to the higher classes, and who bad only recently returned to Paris from the German water ing places. Thinking that after the robbery on the Boulevards he would attempt some other, the officer, instead of arresting him at once, followed him at a little distance. The thief, who has been frequently in the hands of justice, belongs to a respectable family. He has been sent to the Prefecture of Pelice to await his trial.

The Lord Bishop of Lincoln has appointed Dr. Tra vers Twiss to the office of Chancellor of the Diocese of Lincoln, vacant by the decease of Dr. Haggard. NOTE ON TRAFALGAR.—Lord Nelson's well-knowis valet, Torn Allen, lived for some time close to me, being then retained in the service of Wm. Bolton. I met Tom almost every day in m y walks, and often got into chat with him about his brave and noble master, Lord Nel son. Among other thing, I spoke of his wearing his decorations at Trafalgar. Now Tom, who had been with him in so many other engagements, was by mere acci dent prevented from arriving in time on that last memo rable occas ion, having left London after his lordship, and not arriving till the battle was over, and his master's career of glory brought to , a brilliant close. B u t it m a y be amusing to r ecord Toms opinion and observations. He said, " I never told anybody that if I had been there Lord Nelson would not have been killed ; but this I have said, and say again, that if I had been there he should not have put on that coat. He would mind me like a child, and when I found him bent on wearing hi. finery before a battle, I always prevented him-" "Tom," he would say, "I'll fight in my best coat." "No, " Why not, Tom 1" " Wby, my l oyrodu, fightthe sli a u n t : a t t . ;le first, and th en I'll dress you up in all your stars a n d garters , and you'll look something lik e. my lord, Thus poor old faithful Tern Allen gave himself credit for having saved his master's life by his rigid discipline in at tire on former occasions, and it was evident that he was of opinion that he should have saved it once mora at Trafal gar. Tom's account of other memorable events of Nelson'.; life were given with equal naivete. Tits old age was rendered comfortable in Greenwich Hospital, where he held the Office of powterer till his death.—Notes and Queries. Sporting Intelligence. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING. WEDNESDAY.

ORIENTAL TYRANNY.-Mr. K n i g ht on , th e a uthor of , (Forest Life in Ceylon" a n d ot h er wor k s a b ou t t h e E as t, delivered an interesting lecture on Monday evening in the Literary Institution, St. Leonard's-street, Vauxhad bridge-road ; Mr. C. E Mudie in the chair. The subject was Ceylon, and the lecturer had both photographs and sketches taken in the island to illustrate his lecture. In the course of it he described the 'wit King of Kandy, Sri Wickrama Singha, as an unmitigated tyrant, who ordered the wife and family of his prime minister to be seized when the offender had himself escaped. The poor woman, with her four children, was brought out in front of the palace, and, in presence of the king, her children's heads were cut off one by one and thrown into a large ' rice mortar, the pestle was put into the mother's hands, and she was ordered to pound them, under penalty of being disgracefully tortured. She did so. The tyrant wa s dethroned by the English in 1815. "Had he sent some members of his family to England to appeal to popular sympathy," exclaimed the lecturer, ,4 doubtless he woullf , have found many to s upport his claim to be restored. On the whole the lecture was extremely interesting, and was received with loud acclamations. The thanks of the audience were given to Air.
