HOSKINS V. MADDOX. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Some other persons connected with the profession having been examined in support of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury on the part of the defendant in a very humorous speech, in which he ridiculed the airs and pretensions of all prima donnas, and such important professional per sonages, many of whom were addicted to such un steady habits as often rendered it necessary to have an apology made to the audience for their non-ap pearance, owing to indisposition. He expressed his sincere pity for the managers and proprietors who had to deal with such characters. He submitted that the defendant, finding himself grievously mistaken in the qualifications of the lady he engaged, was fully jus tified in the course he had taken, and in determining the engagement when Miss Harland had refused to play the part he had assigned to her. Several witnesses were then called, who stated that the music was not essential to the full development of the character of Wilhelmina, or of the plot of the piece ; and that the lady was bound by her engage ment to play the part that was assigned her, even though the music had been cut out.

HUMFaETS, in his reply, commented severely upon the conduct of the party that had instructed Mr. Sergeant Wilkins to throw out the insinuation of " free habits" against a lady whose conduct and character throughout were unimpeached and unim peachable. _ _ Mr. Maddox (in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) begged leave to say that he had never in structed his solicitor or counsel to throw out any such insinuation. Mr. HumrßErs was glad to hear such a denial ; he fully acquitted him of such a charge. Mr. Maddox observed that he would be glad to have so excellent an actor as Mr. Humfreys proved himself to be as a member of his establishment:— (Laughter.) His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. On this result being ascertained, there was a good deal of cheering in the body of the court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 11. (Sittings in Banco.) CARR (CLERK) V. MOSTYIi (CLERK). Tbis was an action io recover a moiety of the fees received by the defendant as incumbent of the dis trict of St. Thomas, in the parish of Prescott, Lanca shire, for burials, marriages, and christenings in the district chapel. The plaintiff claimed as perpetual curate of the chapelry of St. Helens, out of which, it was said, the district of St. Thomas was carved. The defendant's answer to the claim was twofold-Ist, that he was entitled to the fees in question as in cumbent of St. Thomas, and 2dly, that if be was not entitled, the fees of right belonged, not to the plaintiff, but to the minister of the mother church of Prescott. The case was argued during the last term, and udgment was now delivered. Air. Baron PARKE said that the question was pre sented to the Court in the form of a special case, and the Court had, with great reluctance, performed the duty of a jury in disposing of it. The question was, in fact, Is hether the chapelry of St. Helens w a ., from time immemorial, a parochial chapelry, the incumbent of which was entitled to receive the fees of right payable for performinge the offices of the church. Now it appeared in evidence that no chapel•wardens had ever been appointed at St. Helens, and no church-rate had ever been levied there. There was also some evidence to show that the chapel was endowed in the reign of James 1., by Lady Doraville, the minister being appointed to read prayers in ease cf the vicinity. It further ap peared that one of the incumbents bad been a Non conformist. From all these circumstances, the Court inf,rred that St. Helens was not a benefice belonging to the Church of England, and that it was, in fAct, nothing more than a " chapel of ease." This being the case, the incumbent of St. Helens was not entitled to any portion of the fees received by the incumbent of St. Thomas. The judgment of the Caurt would therefore be for the defendant. Judgment accordingly. .Sitting at Nisi Priam, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) BULL V. RANKIN. Mr. Crowder (with Mr. Miller) for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins (with Mr. Noggins) for the defendant. once to a summons obtained against him by the police for " knowingly permitting common prostitutes to meet and remain in his house." It was proved that there was neith er d run k enness nor d i sorderly conduct visible in the Saloon at the time. Mr. BINGHAM said the defendant, a. free vintner, who keeps a house of public resort, in which re freshments are sold, has been summoned to this court, under the statue 2 and 3 Vic , c. 47, P. 44, for knowingly permitting prostitutes to meet together and remain in his house. Oa the occasion in question, at one o'clock in the morning, about sixty women and eighty men were assembled in the defendant's house ; they were occupied in taking refreshments, and the conduct of all of them was orderly. An inspector of police who entered the house, accompanied by other con stables, believed, from what he and the other consta bles had observed in the streets, that the whole of the women were prostitutes. He informed the person who was conducting the business that he could point out at least forty of the women as prostitutes, and that the defendant would be liable to a penalty if he suf fered them to remain after that notice. The dt fen dant again refused to act on that notice, alleging that he had no means of knowing who' were prostitutes, except from their conduct in his presence, and that he had seen nothing amiss The greater part of the assembly continued in the house for more than an hour after the inspector had spoken. The first ques tion is, whether the defendant, under these circum stances, can be said knowingly to have permitted prostitutes to meet together and remain ; and if so, secondly, whether he is liable to a penalty notwith standing the meeting was in all respects orderly. Upon the first head it appears to me that, after the informa tion given by the officere of the police, whose duties necessarily make them 'acquainted with the faces of the streetwalkers and prostitutes of the district, the defen dant must be taken "knowingly" to have permitted prostitutes to remain ; and during their stay every minute of continuance after the notice is in point of law afresh meeting. If such information, from persons officially qualified to give it, be not esteemed suffi cient notice to charge the defendant with knowing the character of his guests, the enactment is alto gether nugatory ; for it is not to be assumed that any man is of such reprobate habits as to be himself per sonally acquainted with a multitude of prostitutes or persons of notoriously bad character. And it may be observed that the defendant has adduced no evi dence to show that so much as one of the women present was a person of reputation. Then, is the de fendant liable to a penalty notwithstanding the con duct of the prostitutes in bis house was in all respects orderly ? I should be departing widely from the province of a magistrate if I were to express any opinion on the policy or impolicy of an Act of Par liament, or the ex p e di ency or i nexped i ency of carry ing its provisions into effect. My duty is confined to the exposition of the law as it is to be collected from the language used by the Legislature; and in' this case it seems clear to me that the Legis- lature has made the act of knowingly permitting prostitutes to meet together, and remain in a house of public resort, of itself a species of disorder, to be repressed by the infliction of a penalty. The 44th section, after reciting that it is expedient that the provisions made by law for preventing disorderly con duct in the houses of licensed victuallers should be extended to other houses of public resort, inflicts a penalty on every keeper of such house, who shall-- 1. Knowingly permit drunkenness therein ; 2. Know ingly suffer gaming therein ; 3. Knowingly permit prostitutes, or persons of notoriously bad character, to meet together, and remain therein—meaning, as it seems to me, that each of these acts shall be es teemed of itself a species of disorder to be discoun tenanced and repressed in the same way as other dis orderly conduct in the houses of licensed victuallers. As the defendant, acting under advice, has taken a different view of the law, and contends that the merely permitting known prostitutes to meet together and remain in his house for the purpose of refresh went, does not subject him to a penalty, unless his guests are guilty of the disorderly conduct the Legis vl a ic t u t u r e a l l h e a r s ,, s sought g w b l i t obree psrueffis s c i i e n n t t h e o n h o t u b s i e s s o o f ec l a i s c i e o n n s e t d o impose only such a penalty as will enable the defend ant to appeal to a higher tribunal. The fine of 31., and Is. nominal fine, was then in flicted. Start had induced him to commence the bank, and misled isim as to its actual position throughout its ex istence 4that he had placed his affairs under the con trol of inspectors at the time of the stoppage; and that his present inability to pay the creditors more than a merely nominal dividend arose out of the re presentation of Start and others as to the value of bills under discount not having been borne out, and the otner property having realised a considerably less sum than that at which it was valued by competent persons et the time of the suspension. Mr. Gibson was now subjected to a cross-examina tion by Mr. BAGLEY, from which it appeared that immediately after his stoppage he broke up his est a blishment, removed to a smaller house, and sold his horses and carriage. He had not been paid fur his carriage, the person to whom he had sold it having gone -away. His furniture was still in his house, having been purchased for him by his brother at a cost of 6001. He was next cross-examined by Mr. LINICLATER, with a view to show that his statement on the last hearing that he was worth 10,000/. or 12,0001. at the commencement of the bank was not warranted. It elicited little, however, that differed from his original statement. After the bankrupt had been examined several hours touching the account of his assets and liabilities, given at the time of the deed of inspectorship having been agreed upon, without eliciting any material facts, His HONOUR said that the simple question was, fled the bankrupt then made the statement with an inten tion to deceive the creditors? Mr. LINKLATER said that that was the case. Upon being re-examined, the bankrupt denied that at the meeting of creditors his solicitor, Mr. Walker, had said that his (Mr. Gibson's) relations would see him through it, if it were to the extent of 20,0001. Would not undertake to say that Mr. Walker had not said this, but he believed that if he had he should have heard him. The trial of this case, which, as already stated, was part heard on Saturday, was resumed at the sitting of the court this morning, and occupied the whole day. It appeared that the plaintiff, who kept a circu lating library- in , Albion-place; Hyde-patk, in' the month of S?ptember, 1841, made a runaway match with one of the defendant's daughters, whilst the plaintiff's brother, a butcher, carrying on business in the same neighbourhood, married a second daughter of the defendant's. The plaintiff's wife died in Jan., 1848, soon after her confinement, and it appeared that shortly before her death the defendant, who is a widow, become reconciled to her daughter, and vi sited her. The deceased Mrs. Bull was a great pro ficient in music, to which she was attached from an early age, and in 1834, when she was only eight years old, her grandmother, a Mrs. Davis, then 73 years of age, and living with the defendant, pur chased a piano for 150 guineas, and this piano was played upon constantly by the plaintiff's wife, and treated as her property. A writing desk, valued at fifteen guineas, was also purchased for and used by the plaintiff's wife many years before her marriage, and to recover the value of those two articles, the piano and writing-desk, the present ac tion was brought. It appears that Mrs. Davis, the grandmother, died in 1836, bequeathing all she was possessed of to her daughter, the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the plaintiff's wife, before her marriage, usually kept the key of the instrument in question, and that another piano had been purchased for the younger sister, who was not so advanced in musical acquirements. On behalf of the defendant it was urged that al though the piano and desk were used by Mrs. Bull before her marriage they were not her property, and it was suggested in support of this view that the plaintiff had neither claimed nor demanded them until some months after his wife's death ; and that after the first trial of this action the plaintiff wrote to the defendant asking her for pecuniary assistance to en able him to leave the country, and throwing the blame of the legal proceedings which had taken place on the plaintiff's father and brother. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, ob served very strongly upon the want of mutual good feeling which characterised the parties in this action. A sum had been expended in litigation, there having been two trials, which must have more than doubled the value of the property sought to be recovered. The only question, however, for the jury was, whether the piano and writing-desk were the property of the plaintiff's wife before her marriage ? The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a cgt v t hio e urau r ei di tnldde: c haan t for seno;dtpib the abenuowt wobrea p tish laiff for the eadl s sixteen bcyo s tu the claimed, they eeyac y ears iaeaggf ed aoui , 165 haarrnd Baron ultimately returned a verdict for the plain thiff—Dameges 801. The bankrupt Sturt said he wished to examine Mr. Gibson respecting the statements at the last hearing touching his (Sturt's) conduct. He had said that he believed him to be in the receipt of an income of several hundreds a year. Mr. LAITRENCE—I will undertake to give you cre dit for not having had a shilling. His HONOUR said that he did not impute to Mr. Sturt any improper conduct in forming the bank. Mr. Sturt appealed to Mr. Gibson whether, pre vious to the commencement of the bank, he had not informed him that he was in expectation of entering upon a valuable appointment in connexion with an other bank. Mr. Gibson said that, on the contrary, he had been informed by him that be was contemplating going to take up his residence in Australia. He (Gibson) re collected Sturt suggesting that the title of the bank should be " Gibson and Company," upon which he (Gibson) objected to such a title being made use of, as he should consider it would be a fraud upon the public. He did not like the use of the word company. He preferred the word " Sturt" being used. He would admit that he had worked like a horse to get him (Sturt) out of his scrapes in actions, but he (Gibson) had always lived in friendship with his neighbours. Mr. Sturt—Do you recollect wishing an indict ment to be preferred against Mr. Story for perjury? Gibson—No; but I recollect your wishing it. Mr. Sturt put another question of this kind and a series of others, and received similar answers. Upon being re-examined by Mr. Lawrance, Mr. Gibson said that the account submitted to the creditors by Mr. Walker had been prepared with great care, and that he had every reason to believe it to be true. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday next, at eleven. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• MARLBOROUGH -STREET. All the parties taken last week in an alleged com mon gambling-house, known as the Strangers' Club, 119, Jermyn -street, were in attendance at the court to learn the decision of Mr. Bingham, who had taken time to consider the evidence brought before him. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the defendants, having contended it was not conclusive enough to warrant the bench in convicting the defendants. Mr. Clarkson also took other exceptions against the pro ceedings, which mainly tended to establish a charge against the police fur having exceeded their lawful powers. _ _ Notice of appeal was immediately announced. CLE RK EN IV E L Thomas O'Brien, a smart-looking boy, 14 rears of age, son of respectable parent.', residing in Hermes street, Pentonville, was charged with having at tempted to commit suicide, by throwing himself into the New River. M-. BINGETAM having requested that some three or four of the defendants should be summoned into court then proceeded to give the f Mowing decision. Mr. BINGIIAM—The defendants have b-en brought to this court, one of them as the keeper of a common gaming. house, the others as persons found therein without lawful excuse. It appears that a superin tendent of police, acting under the Commissioners' order, repaired to the house in question at night, when a person on the outside made a signal to those within by coughing and throwing a missile at the window. The superintendent immediately caused the outer door to be forced open, but found another door within con structed of imp, and 80 firmly secured that the pro cess of beating it open would have occupied a quarter of an hour. After some time, however, that door was opened by a person within, and the police, on proceeding up stairs, found the defendants apparently taking refreshment. There was a table in the room covered with a black varnished cloth and a back. gammon-board. No cards, dice, or any implements for gaming were discovered, but there was a square mark on the varnished cloth, that corresponded with the size of a die. From the precaution taken to bar ricade the house, and to give notice of the approach of the polices no doubt can be entertained that the per sons within were engaged in some unlawful pursuit, and the grounds for suspecting that they were en gaged in gaming are so strong that the Commissioners were fully warranted in making this-attempt to ob tain the evidence necessary to establish the offence. But neither a magistrate nor a jury can Le justified in proceeding to a conviction upon mere suspicion, however strong, and there is nothing in the evidence before me to show unequivocally that this house is a common gaming-house, or that the defendants were engaged in gamin g . with various other o ff ences which the offenders might appearances are compatibl e The be anxious to conceal, there is nothing to show de cisively that that offence was gaming, and the de fendants therefore will be discharged. A solicitor, who attended for the alleged proprietor of the house, asked Mr. Bingham to inform him where the documents wer e on which which the pol i ce had grounded their p roceedings ? Mr. BINGLIAht would tell the applicant very fairly that he would gi ve hi m no assistance whatever i n the furtherance of a ny u l terior object he might have in view. If he did g i ve i nformation or ass i stance, i t would be on compulsion only. The solicitor said the police, in addition to breaking into the house forcibly, had done mischief to the pro perty found therein. They had, without pretence or lawful authority, wantonly destroyed property in the house, and it w as t h erefore determ i ne d to ascer t a i n how far they were warranted in their proceedings. That the police were not justified in destroying pro perty he was certain ; for when the Act of Parlia ment under which the police acted was in preparation he had called on Sir James Graham, and, after draw ing attention to a particular clause in the Act, the power of destroying property, under pretence of the articles being used for gambling purposes, was ex pressly and advisedly left out of the Act. Now in the present case the police had broken up a table; this was illegal, as the power of ordering gambling implements, when proved to be such, to be destroyed was vested in the hands of a magistrate. On the part of his clients he wished to have a remedy against the police for this illegal act, and would, therefore, beg to know where the documents were. Mr. Clarkson said the documents which had been produced before the Court no doubt would be in bands sur prised t o find that the Court would not render responsibl e f or th e i r production. He was not as sistance to the applicant with reference to ulterior proceedings against other persons ; but he would submit that h e w a s entitled to know where the docu ments were, in order that they might be forthcoming when needed. Mrs. Ilarriet O'Brien, the prisoner's mother, said the prisoner had a comfortable home, and she could assign no cause for such a rash attempt upon his life, with the exception that on the same morning he gull . - relied with his brother, who boxed his ears. Mr. TYRWHITT remonstrated feelingly with the prisoner, and asked him what he could hope for when he became a man if he was guilty of such wicked conduct at so young an age. The prisoner looked down and made no reply. He was suffered to depart under the protection of Bs mother, who was much affected. IRELAND. SYMPTOMS OP COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.—An inquiry, con ducted by Captain Washington, R.N., acting under the orders of the Lords of the Admiralty, has been held at Cork on the subject of the wet docks proposed to be erected in the port, and to hear the arguments and evidence of the promoters of the project. Major Beamisb, on the part of the Harbour Commissioners, the sponsors of the Bill, established a very conclusive case in its favour, by clearly showing the vast im provement which had taken place in the shipping in terest between the years 1844 and 1849. At the former period, be said, trade—at least foreign trade —was comparatively trifling compared to what it now is, when recent legislation had opened their ports to the commerce of the world—in some particulars it had increased 100 per cent. ; and, in order to firtify this assertion, Major Beamish read the following statement respecting the increase of tonnage : " During the five years beginningin August,lB44, and ending August, 1849, the foreign tonnage had increased from 53,736 to 107,539; the general tonnage from 97,150 to 113,195; colliers from 96,876 to 97,791; Irish coasters from 25,854 to 33,592, and Teasels calling at Cove for ordtrs from 125,316 t) 281,691. Thus the foreign tonnage, and the tonnage of vase's calling at Cure, bad increased in the five p ars over 100 plant." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, FEB. 11.

COURT OF BANKRUP7'CY, Feb. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLaorp.) IN TUE BANKRUPTCY O} GIBSON AND STURT. The bankrupts were bankers at S•. Alban's. This was an adjourned hearing of their application for their certificates. Mr. Linklater appeared on behalf of the assignees to oppose the certificate of Gibson ; Mr. Bagley ap peared on behalf of Miss Markham, to oppose the certificates of both bankrupts. Mr. Lawrence ap peared for Gibson. The bankrupt Sturt conducted his own case. _ Mr. BINGH Alf had carefully considered the con duct of the police with reference to the complaint of their having wantonly and unnecessarily destroyed property, and the result was he refused to assist or further ulterior proceedings. Ile would further say, he considered the defendants fortunate in escaping conviction ; for had the table been produced in court it might have happened that he should have given a different decision. In reply to a question of the Learned Counsel about the documents, he said he did nut know whether the documents were in court or elsewhere; but, wherever they were, the applicants must get at them how they could, fur he would lend no assistance. • _ _ Mr. Clarkson was satisfied, even had the tabl e b een produced, that it would not have assisted the ca se . names have b een i Tne defendants were then di▪ scharged, It may be necessary to repeat that the majo r ity o f e a persons im e s g i have ven b c y o the m pl a i d n e e f d e n t d h a a n t t s w their er e assumed.

WATER SUPPLY OF WESTMINSTER.—A public mest:ng of the inhabit tuts of Westminster was held yesterday at Willis's Room s , S t . J ames ' s, convene d b y the High Bailiff, in consequence of a riqui,ition to take into con.ide mien the beat means of securing an abun dant supply of water at ar' atonable rate. Mr. Smed ley, the High Bailiff, took the chair, and Mr. Homers ham attended on the part of the London (Watford) Spring Watlr Company to explain that project to the rnt eting. Mr. Wyld, M.P, as chairman of the Metro poli'an Parochi a l Wat e r S u pply Association, a dvocated the pri nc ipl e o f th e assoc i at i or , and argued against add ing to the list of private companies. But an amendment move l by Mr. Wyld was rejected, and a resolution passed approving of the pre p2sal of the Wat,ord com pany, and a p e tition to Parliament in its favour was therefore adopted.

It will be recollected that the first day's hearing was devoted principally to an examination of Sturt and others, with a view to impugn the conduct of Gibson ; that the second day's hearing was devoted by Mr. Lawrence to an examination of Gibson, with a view to show that he had incurred heavy losses by his connexion with the _bank; that ,_he alleged that • , --- • • . . . -- -,P _ /---- / 7 ,- •- , •_,• - -7 :.' r, — 5.1 ,4 ) .

FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Adolphe Adara's celebrated opera com'que, Le Roi d'Yvetot, was performed here last evening, for the first time in England. Its success was com• plete. This opera was originally produced at the Opera Comique in Paris, in 1842, on which occasion Chollet appeared in the part of Josselyn, which was written for him, and which he sustained last evening, and exhibited the same exquisite taste and the same versatility of talent which he did on its original pro duction, and thus secured the success of the opera as completely in Lnndon as he had previously done in Paris. The seigneur of the good town of Yvetot possessed in former days the title of king, and Le Rol d'Yretjt has been handed down by tradition as the prince of good fellows, as being somewhat analogous to our English "King Cole." Upon this tradition the opera of Adolphe Adam, the scene of which is laid at Yvetot in the time of the Crusades, is founded. At the period when the opera opens there is a disputed succession to the kingdom of Yvetot, the old king has been killed in the Crusades, and while the people desire to proclaim Messire Josselyn (Chollet), a retired tradesman who, like King Cole, is " a merry old soul," as his successor, a certain commander of Malta, imperious, proud, and disagreeable, lays claim to the vacant throne. This commander has a nephew who is in love with the daughter of Josselyn, Marguerite, and the commander is most irate thereat, seeing that he desires that his nephew should enter the Order of Malts. Josselyn himself, and Jeanneton, his servant (acted with great tact, spirit, and h umour , b y Mademoiselle Guichard), be friend the young couple, and, after divers adven tures, Three the commander to consent to the match, for Jeanneton discovers that Josselyn has been desig nated by the last Roi d'Yvetot as his successor, and be accordingly succeeds to the vacant throne, which gives him power over the old commander; and it is moreover, discovered th a t M arguer i te, the adopted ' daughter of Josselyn, is in -reality the daughter of the Commander of Malta, who is very glad to com pound for secresy on that point, by consenting to her marriage with his nephew. The music is very pleasant light, sparkling, and effervescing, if we may be allowed the expression ; it never flags, but carries the piece buoyantly on from the first scene to the last. The opera was strongly cast; never was true benhommie more admirably illustrated than by Chollet as Josselyn. He looked like a man whose beau ideal of happiness was to be let alone to eat, drink, and sleep, and live on terms of hospitality with his neighbours. He sang the music with exquisite taste and effect, and was deservedly encored in the celebrated finale to the second act. Mademoiselle Guichard was full of espieglerie as the intriguing Jeanneton, and Mademoiselle Danhausser made a most interesting Marguerite. Chollet and Mademoiselle Guichard were called for at the conclusion. It is announced that there will be no performance at this Theatre to-morrow evening, it being . Ash-Wednesday, but that, instead, there will be a morning performance on Thursday, to commence at two o'clock, on which occasion Le Domino Noir will be given. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night Charles XII. was played at this house most of the principal characters bring sustained by the same actors as at Windsor. The Adam Brock of Mr. J. Wallack is a reading of the part different from that which has generally been adopted. The hearty honesty of the worthy farmer is plainly brought forward, but the comic side of the character, originated by Mr. Liston, is kept down. Mr. Web ster's Charles, which is carefully dressed and acted, is based on the version of Mr. W. Fdrren. Miss K. Fitzwilliam is a pretty, unaffected Endiga, and she sang " Rise, gentle moon," very nicely, though it loses somewhat of its character by its transposition from the contralto. The pompous officiousness of Mr. Tilbury, as the Burgomaster, created some amusement. ASTLEY'S AMPHITIIEATRE. A magnificent romantic and equestrian spectacle, entitled Corse de Leon; or, The Brigand of Savoy, was produced here last evening, with the most triumphant success. The plot is taken from the cele brated romance by U. P. R. James, and has been adapted to the stage, with coniderable dramatic tact, by Mr. T. G. Blake. Those acquainted with the novel are aware that it affords many opportuni ties for the display of equestrian spectacle, and of these the adapter has judiciously availed himselr. The performances of the excellen tly trained and b&auti • ful stud of Mr. Batty in these scenes were admirable ; t he scenery was splendi3, and the costumes magnificent. The lust scene was one of the most gorgeous displays ever witnessed, and elicited rapturous applause from a crowded and a delighted audience. There were several incidental dances introduced in the course of the piece, in which th e T er p s i c h orean per f ormances cf Mr. and Mrs. Harvey were much and deservedly ap plauded. The dancing of this lady and gentleman would have done credit to the boards of a theatre in which ballet is made much more of a feature than it is at Astle)'a. The scenes in the circle were of the usual high order of merit, and the gloriously success ful pantomime of Yankee Doodle concluded the even ing's entertainment. The house was crowded. ST. MARTIN'S HALL. The inauguration of this new musical edifice having been celebrated by song and supper on Friday night, the portion of the large room in which the festival was held was thrown open to the public last night, a concert being given therein by Mr. Hul lah's pupils, conducted, like the former meetings of a similar kind at Exeter Hall, by the popular master himself. The curiosity that has been awakened by the promised opening of the building had its natural in fluence, and the hall was well filled. The orchestra, which is constructed to hold a large body of per formers, was crowded with the instrumentalists and the choristers ; and the experiment that was thus made very satisfactorily proved the excellence of the room for the delivery of the higher and broader kinds of music. The programme commenced with the Lauda Sion, of Mendelssohn, which was performed by Mr. Hullah's upper classes last season, when we adverted to it at some length. It was afterwards done at the Liver pool Festival, and an interest in it has thus been in culcated which, no doubt, will by and bye lead to its frequent repetition. It was carefully detailed last night, the solos being rendered by Miss Birch, Mrs. Noble, Messrs. Benson and Whitworth. The prin cipal feature of the evening, however, was the an them, founded on the 68th Psalm, written by Mr. Henry Leslie, an amateur of more than ordinary pretension. This composition consists of several separate movements, solo and choral. The invention and conduct of these pieces betray for the most part an unusual degree of intelligence, as well as the in dications of a talent which may one day become con spicuous. In a case or two the outlines of the me lody and the orchestral treatment are referred by the listeners to a discernible origin, but this imputation does not extend very far. The tenor solo, " Thou, 0 God," is a charming air, framed certainly in a Mendelssohnian spirit, but purely original. An air for the soprano, "But let the righteous," and a duet for the soprano and tenor, "Give thanks, 0 Israel," are also effusions of merit." The choruses are bold and energetic, demonstrating, in Handelian form, a power of voice-writing which might be hope fully employed upon a larger theme. Our opportu nities, however, at this moment d o no t p erm it us to speak in other than hasty terms of this clever work, and until we are better provided with time and space, a general commendation must suffice. The Anthem, which was not too well performed by Miss Stewart, Mr. Benson, and the choristers, was received with approbation. We observed many of the most distin guished members of the profession among the auditory. The second part of the concert was entirely "secu lar," consisting of a selection from Mozart's Idomeneo, songs, &c., by Purcell, Weber, Gluck, and Spohr; and one of Beethoven's violin aed pianoforte sonatas, played by Ernst and Sterndale Bennett.

The advocates of such principles will do well to ponder on the argument, of Mr. Barclay : "We do not yet reali , e that we lire in new state of things, and th a t the triviality a , which is the basis of our in t it u ti one , should also, as sort as possible, be th e b as i s o f education. Th ere is no sort of it,f aiority about which young people suffer mere than that ef manners. There are other things ccrtuiely far more important, but this fur ever before their eyes, pressing on their observation—is seen and felt at emery turn. The morale of manners we try to teach our chits dren at home; arbitrary rules and external graces they must take the usual means of acquiring." " Well, you certainly are odd, Barclay." " What do you mean by that?" " I suppose I may speak out, for neither you nor your wife are touchy." "Yee, pray speak out, my friend: my wife and I both approve the speaking-out principle." Mr. Anthon fidgeted on his chair. He felt a good natured reluctance to criticising his friend, and perhaps a secret consciousness that it was bold in him to do so. After a little hesitation he sheltered himself under that broad, common, and cowardly shield, " they say," and proceeded: " They say, Barclay, that you are very in consistent; that your family is the plainest dressed for people of your property, that enter the church-doors; that your furniture —now I don't mean to be impertinent; I know that everything is as neat and as comfortable here as can be;—but they say you might afford to have things a little smarter —more like other folks, who don't think of sending their child ren to ex posive school s , an d to t hi s, and that, and the other; three of them, I heard a person say, attended Grim:tones course of lectures on natural philosophy, with you and your wife. That of itse:f runs up to a sum that would buy some pretty articles." It does so, Anthon, and therefore I cannot buy ' pretty articles.' lam a prosperous man in my busi ness, but my income is limited, and I must select those objects of expenditure that appear to me wisest. Now I had rather Alice should learn to draw, than that she should wear the prettist ear-rings in New York, or any hard-ware of that description. I would rather my boys should learn from Prof•ssor Griscom something of the nature and riches of the world we live in, than to have a mirror the whole length of my mantle-piece. No, Anthon, I can spare money elsewhere, but, till I am compelled, i'll not spare it in the education of my children." " Well, I never thought you was such an ambitious man." What do you mean by that?" " Why, that you are calculating to make all your children gentlemen and ladies." " May I ask you what you mesa by making them gentlemen and ladies?" "It is plain enough what I mean—lawyers, doctors, and ministers, and wives for such gentlefolks." "I shall be governed by circumstances; I do not in tend, nor wish, Anthon, to crowd my boys into the learned professions. If any among them hare a parti cular talent or taste fa• them, they may follow them. They must decide for themselves in a natter more im portant to them than to any one else. But my boys know that I should be mortified if they selected these prt fnisions, from the vulgar notion that they were more genteel —a vulgar word that, that ought to be banished from an American's vocabulary —more genteel than agriculture and the mechanic sits. I have laboured to convince my boys, that there is nothing vulgar in the mechanic profeasions—no particular reason fur envying the lawyer or the doctor. They, as much as the farmer and the mechanic, are working men. And I should like to know what there is particularly elevating in sitting' over a table and writing prescribed firms, er in inquir ing into the particulars cf diseases, and doling cut physic fir them. It is certainly a false notion in a de mocratic republic, that a lawyer has any higher claim to respectability—gentility, if you pease —than a tan ner, a goldsmith, a printer, or a builder. It is the fault' of the mechanic, it he takes a place ?Kt assigned to him by the government and institutions of hie country. Ile is of the lower orders only when he is re If-degraded by the ifs, ance and coarse manners, which are associatel with manual I,lbour in countri.•s whe-e society is di vided into castes , and have th ere f ore come to be con ,idered i,separst:l, f 4an r. 11..1y upon it, it is not so. The old harriers are down. The time is came when • bt leg (Lent:mac:al' we may appear on • labouring doss' as cell as holiday., without the 'sign of our profe-eion.' Tateet and worth are the only eternal grounds of dis tinction. To these the Almighty has affixed his ever lasting patent of nobilit, and II ese it is which make the bright, II e immortal names,' to which our children may aspire, as well as othi rs. It will be our own fault, Anthon, if, in our land, society as well as government is not organized upon a new foundation. But we must secure, by our own efforts, the dentist's that are now accessible to all. There is nothing that tends more to the separation into classes than difference of manners. This is a badge that all can see. I cannot blame a .I?en tleman for nut asking a clown to his table, who will spit over his carpet, and mortify himself and annoy every body else with his awkwardness," Many other passages we might extract in evidence of the interesting character of this most charming "Home." We will, however, leave its interest un diminished. Every one who has a sixpence to spare can hardly do better than invest it in the purchase of a book, which, amusing as it is, and trifling as it may appear, is likely to produce much and lasting happi ness—exhibiting as it does in the pleasing form of a pleasing example the powerful good that may be effected by the right influence of Home. A few words more we are tempted to quote —a tribute to the mother and mistress of the home : " Ah, Harry it is not tt e superior capacity that as complishes most, but seting out with a firm purpose to attain a certain obje , t. Your mother, Alice, began life with a determination to make a happy bola e. As she is not present, I may say t f her what she would tc t permit me to say if she were here." " 0 let me speak of her, sir," interrupted Harry Norton. " Let me speak of her," said the modest Emily. " 0, I genus we all love& o speak of souther, if speak ing means praising," erit d little Effie. Grandmarna's tremulous v o i ce h us h e d a ll ot h ers. " Her children arise up and call her blessed,' " she said; " her hatband also, and he praiseth her.' " " Yes, ma'am," said Harry; " that and every other verse in Scripture that describes a virtuous weir 9.-1 might be applied to her: and those who have m t the natural rights of children might rise up too and call her blessed, —those on whom she has Leitowed a mother's care and terderness. And what, that woman should do, has she left undone? How faithfully she has performed all the duties of her lot ; how generously undertaken those that were not impotel on her. What sense she has manif-sted, what beautiful ord' r and neatre.s in her domestic economy, and in a higher moral economy, how she excels all others. How she sees and loresees, and provides against all wants, avoids irritations and jealousies, economizes happiness, saving those little odds and ends that others waste. How she employs the faculties of all, brings the virtue of each into operation, and if she cannot cure, shelters faults. She shows each in the best light, and is herself tLe light that shines on all—the sun f her home." " Do not flitter, Harry," said Mr. Barclay, in a voice, however, which proved that he felt tbis was no flattery. " 0, Mr. Barclay," said Emily, " ee must sometimes speak out our hearts, or they would burst?" " It is testimony, not flattery," added Harry. NEW IVIUSIC THE O.RIENTALiQUADRILLES.
