" A memoir of George Frederick Handel" is very interesting. It is to be concluded in the next nuwber. Those who have shared in the celebration of the triumphs of his genius will read with interest the record of his strifes and struggles, and want of appreciatioi so long ago. It is a lesson to real genius never ti despair though Fortune frown on th,m, and crowd of opponents and rivals shut out la's future fame from view. Another very interesting biographical paper is on the lat- George Stephen son. It is founded on a life of him recently pub lished by Mr. Murray, and narrates many interest ing particulars of his eally days. The following amusing anecdote is said to have occurred when Ir company with several other celebrities, he was paying a visit to the late Sir Robert Peel at Drayton Manor : With Dr. Bnckland the practical miner was not always successful. They differed in opinion on th, formation of coal one evening, and the more practise, speaker was evidently successful in the discussion. Nix morning Sir William Follett met Mr. Stephenson in tbf grounds suffering from a brown study.' Wbat ar« you thinking of,' said the knight. Why, Sir William, I am thinking over that argument I had with Bucklane last night. I know lam right, and that if I bad only the command of words which be hoe, I'd have beater him.' Sir William offered to have the case tried over if Mr. Stephenson would instruct him. So the engine,-r and the lawyer sat down in an arb ,, ur, until the latter was fully instructed on the formation of coal. Si, Robert Peel was taken into the plot, and after dinner he introduced the coal question again. This evening to Dr. Buck land's annoyance he had to grapple with th, distinguished lawyer, and was vanquished at every point. When all was over, Sir Robert Peel said to the beaten man of the previous night, What do you say, Mr. Stephenson." Why,' answered the attorney in the case who bad drawn the brief, '1 avid only say this, that of all the powers above and under the earth, there seems to me to be no power so great a-, the gift of the gab.' " There are several other papers of merit—among them some sketches on lit erasure and poets. r" The Mechanics' Magazine contains a great variety of information of a useful and prat tical character, on all the branches of me cbanical science. A science so widely employed, so necessary to manufacture, to art, and even to common domestic comfort, should be studied not alone by amateur men of science, but by all whose calling requires in any way its application. Even to those not employed in this manner, the study of mechanics cannever be unprofitable, for though they may never improve the steam engine or invent an Archimedean balloon, there are many occasions . in which a knowledge of the principles of mechanical science would be of value, and the study, like all scientific study, is improving and sharpening to the facultieQ. We shall he glad, therefore, to see a taste for mechanical knowledge more general, and the readers of this old-established and valuable magazine still more i numerous. Newto n ' s Lon don Journal has its usual list of recent pa tents, with scientific notices an d repor t s, an d scientific adjudications in disputed cases. —The Assurance IVlagazine recommends itself to those connect d with asNuranc.i societies, and all con cerned and interested in such ma ters will derive useful information from its statistics and discus sions. A subject of more general interest and im portance is a paper on the " Causes of Fires in London from 1833 to 1856." The Eclectic Review.—This review opens with a paper on " The Knights Trmplars," and gives an account of that remarkable body, and of its myste rious suppression by Philip the Fair. Mr. Maurice's new work receives a candid criticism, and some of the novels of the season are also noticed. A curious article on "Phantasmata" relat-Q the traditions of the visions of Joan of Arc. "The Pieveution of the Smoke Nuisance," and the "Frauds in Food and Medicine" furnish subjects for sensible discus Rion. MISCELLANEOUS. The Train scarcely maintains its improved cha racter. However, it has some humorous papers and a tale of truly German horrors, with the fasci nating title of " The Deaddouble." It is also em bellished with a portrait and memoir of J. E. Mil lars.—The National Magazine contains its usual collection of sketches and essays. The principal story is by the talented author of " Gilbert Mes senger," &c., it is called "A Story of a Haunted House." The first volume of this magazine is now completed and published in octavo, containing, we are told, more than 100 engravings, and having been produced at a cost of nearly I,3ool.—The Index, with its array of names and illustrations, is most attractive, but unfortunately there is a degree of heaviness in the miscellany which prevents it from being so entertaining as it might be. The in troduction of a few lighter or more lively pa pers would be an improvement. Knight's ad mirable putThations continue with spirit. The Cyclopmdia of Biography is drawing to its close. The fifth-third pert continues the letter S. —The Popular _History of England has brought us down to the days of Elizabeth.—': he Churchman's Magazine is devoted to the consideration of titeo logical and ecclesiastical matters.—Le Follet sets forth the changes of fashion in elegant groups and impressive information. A romantic story, called "The Early Contract," is commenced, for the benefit of its fair readers,—The Monthly Review, though it appsars on the 15th of the month, may be ranked among the magazines. It is almost entirely deco , ed to criticism, in which it displays ability and moderation.—Tl.e serial stories of "Ask Mamma," and "Paved with Gold," are con' inued in their respctive styles. Trey are accompanied by a rival, in the " History of Lorimer Littlegood, Esq.," which is now issuing as a separate story, having been originally published, we believe, in Bharpe's Magazine. LITERATURE. The Beautiful Islets_ of Britaine. By W. C. Denl y. Longman and Co. The author tells us in the pref.ce that "this little book is written, nit as a me e inventory of the oh jects of nature and art lying around our course, but with a hope of pointing out where the beautiful may be found, that one h iur may not be lost in searching among the more common pebbles for he gems of the earth"—and he has cert ii»ly executed his intention with a very siti-f ictory degree of ful filment. Much instructive and pleasing mater is afforded to the tourist, who is "all agog" for the beauties of " Wight," "Scilly," "Arran," tr any of the doz.n dotsof land winch f rm The romantic satel lites of Old England. The mars and woo - lcuts are advantageous ti the general information given, and were we about to start on a pilgrimage to either of the " islets," we should put this little book in our knapsack. The English Bread Book for Domestic Use. By Eliza Acton, Author of " Modern Cookery." Longman. The name of Mrs. Acton is well known as that of an authority in all matters connected with a do mestic culinary establishment. The subject which has at present attracted her attention is one of much importance from its universal use, and from the high price which it too often attains, as well as from the adulterations so commonly practised. Mrs. Acton earnestly recommends that home-made bread should be extensively used, and greatly ra grets that a knowledge of how to make and bake bread should be such a rare acquirement. The statistics she gives show what a gr.nt savit,g would be effected by the labouring classes by making their own bread. She quotes from eobbett's work on Cottage Economy a pas -Age in which he proves that a saving of four or five shillings was effected on every bushel of corn in Ilia clay ; and at th e p resen t time the saving would probably be greater. A still stronger inducement to many will b e the advan tige of having pure and wholesome bread instrad of the mysterious compound of the baker. Oue of the most useful portions of the work will be the direc tions to a quite inexperienced learner. Those -who are already acquainted with the method of rna sing ordinary bread will find many useful hints about all the more elaborate or fancy kinds, as well as di rections for brown bread, French bean brad, oat meal banno c k s , kc. The remarks on baking, and the different kinds of ovens, will be of much ser vice. A notice of the improved baking processes and institutions established abroad is appended, and contains some useful information. All who have been withheld from making household bread by the difficulties attending it, or by their own ig norance, will find this little volume remove many of the obstacles from their path, and render it corn- Paratively simple and ea'V. ?he Militiaman at _dome and Abroad. By Emeritus. Smith and Elder. This work relates the history of a militia regi ment, from its first training to its disembodiment. The author, in the pre:rice, compares the state of the militia at the beginning of 1852, with its present position. Then, he remarks, its very tame served only to recall the past, and the corps seemed abiiut to fall into ob ivion ; while now ti ey have suddenly come f sward, have replaced the regiments -a the line in f rei4u garrisons, have fought at Balaklava and the Red an, and acquired the distinction they so honourably (leierve:l. The im- Purtance of a large and yip-11-trained militia he i on siders to be great, and he recommends his volume to the military man as accurate in detail and d ate) while he has endeavoured to make it attractive to the general reader by ducriptions of the scenery, men, and manners among which he has served. In this endeavour he will probably be successful, as many will find much entertainment in his narrative, as besides his experienc3 in his own country he takes the reader to the lonian Island, Malta and Gibraltar. At the conclusion be records the terms in which the thanks of the House of Com mons were given to the militia corps. The sketches of the various accidents and adventures of barrack life will be found amusing, and they possess the great advantage of being illustrated by the humor ous pencil of John Leech. Wayside Fancies. By France? Freeling Broderip. It is not long since the many who regard with affection and veneration the memory of Thomas Hood, gave a kindly welcome to the first literary efforts of his son. His daughter has now entered the same path, giving evidence of taste and talent; but the humour that charmed the graveit, the pathos that touched the coldest heart, is not to be found. A cultivated taste, a nd ability above the average, must readily be acknowledged, and the children of Thomas Hood have a right to claim a kindly welcome from the literary world, but his genius, generous ar, powerful, and enduring as ori ginal, is buried with him. Nevertheless, judged by itself, apart from all comparison, the volume before us is above mediocrity. It contains a pleasant medley of prose and verse, and the verse is the best, a fact which is striking and unusual. The prose consists of little sketches chiefly light and satirical, showing a sense of the humorous, but the poetry has some touches of deep feeling. The following is from a poem en titled "Six days shall thou labour," setting forth the sufferings of the poor. It contains some powerful lines : " Can you wonder we are Chartists,—that we murmur and repine ? We are ignorant; teach us better; point us up to the Divine, — Teach us be appointed rich and poor their separate course to take, Doing each their solemn duty meekly, humbly, for His sake ; Tell us of a better world on high, where all distinctions cease, And the beggar and the king alike share one eternal peace. Waken from your calm debating in the palace ye have built, For your solemn legislation o'er our wrongF, our woe, our guilt ; Come and' learn our true condition, with your quiet high-bred grace ; The same merciful Creator made that calm and happy face, And those pinched and haggard features, worn with sorrow, sin, and pain, And the Litman souls beneath them both must go to Him again ! By all these thoughts—the evil past, and that which draweth nigh— By life and death's great mysteries, oh, heed our warn ing cry; Give to the winds the sordid thought of gaining place or pelf, And, working for one common weal, forego all dreams of self. 06, great and mighty of the land ! how will ye yield your trust, Wberi the Archangel's awful trump shall summon slum berin..; dust _ _ _ To meet the Judge in majesty; the record dread nn- rolls,— How shall ye answer to your God for all these human soils ? By your dearest hopes, your deepest fears of that. tre- _ mendous day, Oh, save us from th penalty that both of us must pay, Toe evil wrought by want of thought ;" the human creatures lost ; The va-t amount of wasted souls your indolence has cost t The following is a pleasing little poem, full of graceful mel dy " A single rose for thee, love, One little rose for thee, In change for all the many flowers That thou bast given to me ; So take it from my very heart, Thnugh pale and weak it be. ---- The wild pink buds of spring, love, Did with our hearts unclose ; Our marriaze day was sweetly crowned By autumn's last white rose ; They've marked life's sunniest memerie , And may they wreathe its close. How many summer roses, love, Have dated pleasant hours, And brew bed a tender charm about This quiet home of ours : Ab, love ! ours was a happy lot, Thus chronicled in flowers. The work is dedicated to the memory of her father, but the " envoi" is a kind of tribute to her brother, who shared her early literary ex ploits. They have adventured, almost simulta neougy, into the field of literature ; if their paths in it may not be so high as their father's, they may at lea , t be, less thorny. At any rate, they are sure of courteous consideration and kindly welcome, if not for their own merits, at lea-t, in acknowledgment of the debt all who love literature owe to the name of Thomas Hood. Vacations in Ireland. By Charles Richard Weld. Longman. A volume of pleasant sketches of a traveller's ad ventures amo , g the beautiful scenery of the sister isle. It is descriptive of the experiences of many visits, but though the earlier excursions were made many yeirs ago the author has thought that a few sketches of life, as it was before railway excursions were the f.'shion, will not be without interest, while the grandeur .and be tuty of the scenery he de scribes, remains unaltered. His ocher visits have been made more recently, the latest only last year. The reader will therefore have an opportunity of comparing the past and the present, as well as of forming an acquaintance with the still wild and little visited districts in the West of Ireland. The author writes in a clear and lively style, and the anecdotes ani sketches of the national character which he introduces combine to render his volume entertaining and agreeable. The chapters on Lord Rosse's telescope are full of scientific interest. They are reprinted from " Fraser's Magaziee.' The author durng his stay in Ireland was frequently t e guest of L ird Resse. This work contains much pleasant reading for those desirous of making themselves aeqea nted with Irish life and scenery without undergoing the fatigues of a personal in spection. Boy Princes. By J. C. Edgar, author of " The 13 ,, yh00d of Great Men," (5.7 c. Bogue. Mr E igar has, bef me this, con ributed to the knowledge and amusement of juvenile readers by the sensible and in-tructive books he has wiitt-m for their persusal. The present volume consists of a series of portraits of " Scions of royalty cut off in youth," and includes memoirs of many that have filled an illustrious place in the pages of history. They are not re stricted to one age or country, but extend from William the Atheling to Napoleon 11., and give to the youthful reader a mostinteresting introduction to general history. Though possessing the character of an historical work, the work is entirely devoid of that dryness and want of interest which is too often met with in children's histories. It is written in a simple and clear style, but, in a manner likely to rivet the attention and arouse the interest of its readers. .Nightshade. A Novel. By Wm. Johnston, M.A. Bentley. This story will be appreciated by the class who admire polemical work! , , it is not attractive for the general reader. It rtlates chiefly to the arts em ployed by certain bigoted individuals, to induce or compel young girls to enter convent , , whether or not their natural desires or mode of life point that way. A great deal of skill is displayed in the ar rangement of the plot, and the character of the principal actor in the strange scenes ably deli neated. Some paesages will appear exaggerated, and many doubtle , s will not go so far as the writer in the arguments he adduces, but he has evi dently written his book with the best intentions, and with a view to impart knowledq s e to those whose innocence deserves, and whose ignorance demands instruction.

Some remarks are addedatthecon con clusion of the work concerning the climatic in fluences on disease, and the use of the mineral waters in cure. An analysis is given of the v arious pi-tees suggested for remedies, and their advantages and disadvantages for the several ailments. A Metrical history of England, for Young people. By Mrs. Wood. Darton and Co. This is an ingenious little volume, giving th e history of England in verse. The authoress re marks that in teaching her children she always f, end that verse was much more easily eo m _ mitted to memory than prose, and made a much greater impression on the mind. She therefore toought others might find this little work a use ful medium of instruction. She does not confin e herself to a mere recital of facts, but contrives to give a good deal of incidental information about the celebrities, inventions, &c. of each reign. The metro is not always correct, and certainly the rhyme does not display any great poetic talent ; but the little volume will be likely to prove a great assistance to beginners in English history. Our College. G. Earle, Castle-street. This work consists of a series of sketches of Col lege Life and adventures, or "leaves from an under graduate's scribbling book," as it is also called. It is lively and entertaining, and will afford much amusement to those desirous of forming an acquaint with University Life. There are numerous sketches of varying interest ; the last one, called "Going to see an Execution," describes forcibly the vivid effect on a nervous and excitable mind by an un fortunate visit to the execution of' the Mannings. There is plenty to amuse an idle hour in this un pretending volume. Under the Lime Trees. By Caroline Ricketts, au- thor of " trials or a lifo's losssons." Booth. Th 7 s is a pleasant little volume of stories of a domestic nature. There are five tales of varying interest, some mournful, some ending happily, but mostly of a mixed nature, showing the chequered pa , h that most heroines of real life are called upon to tread. The authoress writes with ease and ele gance,.and those who wish for an agreeable volume of romance, of a simple and natural character will afford her the encouragement she merits. MR. G. T. F. SMITH'S WEATHER PREDIC TIOI VS FOR JULY. ._-~-- The temperature from the Ist to 9th will be cool, and showery to the 10th or 11th; from the 11th to the 15th high temperature or hot weather, elec tricity prevalent ; from the 14th to the 20th the sun's rays are refulgent. Electric showers near the 23d, with thunder storms near the 25th, 27th, and 29th ; the month declining . with high tem perature. June gave the humidity and fine weather as predicted, but errors in the temperature, from the 19th to the 28th, varying from the effect of our usual phenomena. A.2reeahly to traditionary ob servations, comets on their approaching our system invariably cause hot weather ; therefore, should the expected comet be approximating its return this year, all other testimony would become subordinate to it.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Monday, the 6th of July, will be one of the great nights of the season—the benefit of Madlle. Piccolomini—when the performances will comprise a selection from the various operas in which the versatile genius of this fascinating prima donna has been mo't conspicuously displayed. An act of "La Figlia del Regi'nento," with which the evening is to commence, brings out both the gay and tender elements in the character of the enthusiastic little Vivandi6re. This will be followed by an act of the "Trovature," with Spezia as the heroine, Guilini as Manrico—perhaps one of hie best characters—and Alboni, in her great part of Azucena. After this Pic- , ctilomini will again appear in the last act of the " Traviata"—an opera which will always be remembered as that which at once placed Madlle. Piccolomini in the first rank of dramatic singers. To many the last selec tion which will be given will be chief attraction. The concluding scene of I. Martiri will add the interest of a new part to the evening's entertainments. Those who have heard Madlle. Piceolomini in her famous duo "II soon del arpe angelicke" say that both as a vocal and dramatic effort it at least equals the greatest of the achievements with which her name is already familiarly associated. The occasion will be honoured by an un usual concentration of strength upon the ballet,iucluding, among others, Rosati, just arrived from her Paris triumphs, Boschetti, ICatrine,_and Per. a Nena. ENGLISH GALLANTRY AT DELHI—LIEUT. J. J. ECK F3RD.—The Times publishes a private letter, giving an account of the gallant conduct of Lieut. J. Ecktord, of the 6th Native Infantry, and son of General Eckford. Our contemporary's Indian Correspondent says : " Lieut. J. J. Eckford, of the 6th Native Infantry, holding an Engineer appointment at Meerut, defended his treasury against the mob for a considerable time, his wife and family hiding in the garden. The house at last was set on fire, and Mr. Eckford severely wounded on the !eft temple. He remained insensible for a considei• able time (after destroying several of his assailants), while the premises were in flames, but miraculously escaped, at er some hours, with his wife, child, and sister-in-law. He is now out of danger on account of his wound." We are enabled, from a private source of information, to state that this gallant young officer killed, with his own I and, four of the mutineers, as they, one after another, sought to take his life. Such distinguished gallantry ought not, and cannot, go unrewarded by the Govern ment.--Morning A dvertiser. THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.—DUBLIN, Wednesday. —Spode!) has been remanded until Thursday, the 9th instant.

The Atlantic has also arrived with 225,000 1 . There was continued depression in the stock m arket. Erie hnd fallen to 30 3 ,, and Reading to 711. Illinois Central stood at 32. pm. The cotton and grain markets were unchn,ged. The West Il,ciia steamer Magdalena to-day will take out 35,2706., chiefly in gold. The Cape steamer Arme nia-, carrit s 50,0001. on Government account. THE " GEEAT EASTERN "—At a meeting of the Easttern Steamship Company yesterday it . was announced tblst the vessel may be launched in September, but that the trial trip to Portland, Maine, will be deferred to the April following. Her total cost will amount, including all contingencies, to 5 97,1951., of which 190,0001. re mains to be met. Of this 92,0001, will be provided by calls at present in arrear, and to supply the balance of 98,0001. the directors were empowered by the meeting to borrow 100,000/. upon debentures. DIVORCE IN SCOTLAND.—Detween the years 1540 and 1856, a period of 316 years, 317 Divorce Acts a vinculo matrimonii were passed in Scotla n d. During the last decennium 99 degrees of divorce had been granted at the suit of husbands and 75 at the suit of wives, making a total of 174. EVENING, JULY 2, 1857 MONEY MARKET AND COMIVIERCI IL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton market yesterday was quiet, but firm, at about former rates. The sales were 8,000 bales, —l,OOO for export, and 1,000 for speculation. The Railway Share Market was dull but steady. The attention of the public has been called to a prospectus which will be found in our columns this day, issued by the Directors of the Lake Ontario And Hudson Railway—who desire to take up a loan on debentures to the amount of 800,0001.- 200,0001. of which they have already " placed" in New York. The bonds are to be for 2081. 6s. Bd., or one thousand dollars each, bearing 7 per cent. int lest until 1879 when they are repayable. The possessions of the company are extensive, upwards of 500,000 acres in the State of New York covered with timber of great value, for which there is a constant and quick market at both ends of the line, New York and Sa,ckets harbour. The railway is of easy gradients offering great facilities for construction. Contracts upon very favourable terms have been entered into for the necessary works, but the special feature of this undertaking is that it possesses upon its own lands an amount of traffic, which is more than sufficient to fully oc cupy its capability of carriage for years to come, and at highly remunerative rates. Thera continues to be a very dull market for silver, and , as the supply on hand is sufficient for immedi ate wants, the purchases on the Continent will most likely be curtailed. The impression that the monthly shipments to India and China will henceforth diminish bas been strengthened by the reduction in the exchanges for bills drawn upon the Indian Presidencies. The Hon. East India Company have given notice that "the rate of exchange at which they will receive cash for bills on Bengal and Madras will, from the present date and until fur ther notice, be 2s. Old. the Company's rupee, and for bills on Bombay 2s. 00. the Company's rupee." This diminution is equal to 1 per cent. It is now ex pected that most of our specie supplies will go into the Bank, and the late arrivals have already caused an important addition to the amount of bullion held there. Yesterday about 5,0001. wasp sold to the authorities,- and in the course of a few days some further parcels will be similarly disposed of, as the Continental demand is now very much con tracted. The Stebonheath with about 21,0004 has arrived from Australia, and some of the other ves sels, so anxiously awaited, will no doubt soon make their appearance. It is calculated that nearly half a million sterling is now near at hand from Aus tralia. _ The steamer Magdelena, for the West Indies, will take out 35,276 1 . in specie to-day, and abont 50,0001. will be transmitted to the Cape by the Armenian. _ In consequence of the large influx of specie, and the numerous additions lately made to the stock of bullion in the Threadneedle-street vtults, it was expected that a further decline of per cent. in the minimum rate of interest and discount would have been announced to-day. After a long discussion, however, the directors determined not to make any alteration at present, and it is therefore assumed that the reserve of notes has not increased in , or that the amount pro portionot,, to the ether securities" uritltieoan” is too large to discount 4 justify an immediate extension of loan and month,The a preparations for Satur day, paymentsu r - day, the operations. now of the having to be made, as usual at the end of the quarter, have no doubt induced the authorities to observe great caution, but in a few days, when the commercial bills are met, and the future scale of speci e shipments is more clearly defined their position may be sufficiently improved to enable them to make a further concession. Notwithstanding the rate still remains at 6 per cent., there is reason to believe that the next Bank return, to appear on Saturday morning, will exhibit some favourable results, as the tendency is still towards improvement. Next week the dividend payments will commence, the following notice having been issued : Bank of England, July 1, 1857. Notice is hereby given that the payment of the July dividends to the public vill commence on Wed nesday, the Bth July. WM. SMEI; Chief Accountant. This distribution of interest will, no doubt, tend to promote increased interest in the M one y Market, although a large amount will have to be returned to the Bank in repayment of advances. In the English Stock Mark et the var iation in prices has not been important . At on e period more firmness was visible, but no permanent im provement was established, and since the separation of the Bank Directors the tone of the m arket has been rather flatter. Consols have been a s hi g h as 923- buyers, but they are now 92g sellers, for the openin g they are 92a 2. The New Three per Cents. are 921 2, and the Red uced 92, 1 i. Ex cliequer Bills further improved , bein g s s. to ls. discount. Bank Stock is 213. Very few dealings are record ed in the Foreign Market, and the prices are generally steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 96, and the present quotation is 951 96k. The 4 p=r Cents. are 102, Russian 41 per Cents. 96i, and Sardinian 891 i.

The half-yearly part was placed before us yesterday, and it contains a complete record of every meeting—whether " legitimate" or otherwise—that has taken f lace this year in England, Ireland, and Scotland. A work which contains a complete calendar of flat racing and steeple. chasing was never before published, and Mr Feist has supplied a want experienced by every person interested in turf pursuits. The typographical arrangement is un exceptionable, and the copious index affords the means of a ready reference. It is the most complete racing calen dar published, and no sporting man should be without it. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. M. Jullien's concerts, under his own direction, are interrupted for a time by his d€parture on a three weeks' tour in the provinces. He has, as a compensation for leis absence, engaged the military band of the Guides of the King of the Belgians, having obtained his Majesty's gracious permission to that effect. T heir engagement, h e an nounces, is from the lst of July to the 21st, when h province s. band formed th e nove l fea tuerer Th e e o t performance f u r la n s s t t e r v o e m : :tnhge o evening's 8 f t this concert. It i a a magnificent corps, Guides k strength o f the lmperiaux, whose use performances at the Cveryrystsailmiplala in ce will and quality t 3 th e F renc h b an d be remembered by many of our musical readers. At the concert of last night this band performed Weber's overture to " Oberon," an operatic from Verdi's " Jerusalem," arranged by M. Bender, Weber's Invite. tion It la Valse, Meyerbeer's Grand Flambeau March, and Rossini's Overture to "Guillaume Tell."iThere was also a " Caprice et Theme," compo s ed by M. Bender, !with solos for the principal instruments. These pieces fully displayed all the various po era of this sup- rb band, especially the overture to "Oberon," whisk is a work of immense difficulty even for the regular orchestra for which it is written. Its performance by this band of I wind instruments was certainly the most marvellous thing of the kind we have ever listened to. Tbe time was taken with greater rapidity than usual, but did not in the least impair the clearness and precision of the execution. Not a single point was lost--everY accent, inflexion, and gradation of tone was distinctly and beau. tifully marked ; and the force and impetuosity, the sweet airs and rich harmonies whic h o h are a lltalian mingled toptehrias or rlotrhie ous composition, were given a s finel y as could have been done by the orchestras of the R o yal Philharmonic Society. The audience were delighted, and applauded most enthusiastically. ROYAL A.mrsITHEATEE.--Last night was produced, T: s r i t d t e i ,ni"ein entit l edL i v e t r h p e o o,1?
