to incite him to commit • breach of the peace. This
case arose out of the reoent salvage dispute respecting
the Finistere, when Beale gave evidence contrary to
that of Sheen. Complainant said on Sunday morn-
ing, between 9 and 10 o'olook, he was walking on
the Quay, when defendant endeavonred to incite
him to commit a breach of the peace, calling him a
false swearer, saying that he had robbed him of £3O,
and wanting him to fight. —The Mayor said Beale
came forward as a most unwilling witness at the
salvage trial, and it could not be tolerated that he
should be insulted for doing so. They should bind
defendant over to keep the peace for sux. months,
himself in £lO, and two sureties in £l5.
INAVOURAPION OP Till New MOl3lO liALL.—Tbis
building was formally dedicated to the public on Tues-
day evening by • grand concert taking place within it.
Before alluding to the concert it would be well to give
• brief description of this plane of amusement. The
new Music Hall is situate in St. Nicholas-street, and is
a most handsome edifies. The entrance to it is through
* long corridor, which at night is most brilliantly
illuminated. After going threugb this the ground
-floor of the hall is reached, which forms the seeond and
back seats, whilst • staircase leads to the galleries, is
which the reserved seats are placed. The hall ia most
beautifully decorated, and great care has been manifest
In making it comfortable. On the panels in front of the
gallery are seem choice works of art, and at the back of
the stags • very classical statue has been painted.
Them deourations were expected by Mr. Mace, of this
bow% and ate beautiful specimens of art. The hall is
matt handsomely illuminated, end has been fitted up
at *rest expense, indeed, it is far better than many
bi4topolitams, theatres. For the inauguration of the
beR spinted proprietor, Captain Cosens, engaged
'first .rate talent; but we are sorry to add that the success,
in a pecuniary point of view, was far from what could '
be desired, the hall not being more thin half tilled. Of
the concert itself it is Impossible to speak toe highly,
and the enterMinment &lorded the greatest satiefao•
tioa. The vocaltalie engaged were Madame Rudersdord,
NUNS Eleonore Wilkinson' Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr.
Lewis Thomas. M. Alberto Randagger presided at the
