LI\RPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIET.

Hara's beautiful oratorio " The Creation," Was
played rid sung last night, at the Liverpool Philharmonic
Hall, as-he tenth concert of this season of the Philhar-
monic Soiety. Madame Clara Novello was the soprano,
as announced "for a farewell" 'performance, but she
in will agin appear on Tuesday, the 13th of November,
a miscellanous concert. Last night she appeared weak,
either from'il-health or some other cause, and the result'
was, we regat to say, spiritless. Mr. W. H. Cummings,
as the: tentr, was very fair, and sung "In Native
Worth" wit'Vaste but in other parts he was too tame.
• Mr. Lawler vs the bass. He has a fine voice, of rich
quality, but in very powerful. He was most successful
in, the third par. The chorus appeared rather noisy,
but "The Heirens are Telling" was very effective.
The, concert Whe.l3th of November• promises to be
as attractive aa Ad last night, which filled the ball in
every part. It h announced as the last appearance in
Liverpool of Madene Clara Novelle, and she will be
assisted by the Lorton Glee and Madrigal Union, con-
sisting of Miss Eyls, Mr. Baxter, Mt. W. ,11. Cain-
mings, Mr. Lawler, and Mr. Land ; solo violin, Herr
Molique'; solo pinoforte, Mademoiselle Molique ;
orchestra and chors of two hundred and fifty per-
formers.

YOUNG MEN'S CIRLSTIAN ASSOCIATION.—The first
of the present white course of lectures, in connection'
with this association, was delivered last night in the
Collegiate Institution by the Rev. J. B. Owen. Not-
withstanding the verb mfavourable state of the weather,
the attendance was extremely large so great, in fact,
that the body of the hill was crammed, and many were
glad to find standing room. The subject of the lecture
was it Haunted Houses;" and it included an account of
the spirits which haunt the ale-house, the post-house,
and the lonp horse. It would be impossible for us' in a
limited space, o convey to the reader
,the faintest idea
of the discursi.e yet concise, pathetic but humorous,
nature of the leture. The subject was, in the hands of
the lecturer, an "inexhaustible bottle," from which he
drew lessons fa every variety of character. The audi-
ence was enthuiastic throughout, and at the conclusion
of the lecture gave a cordial vote of thanks to the
talented lecture. After a similar vote to the Rev. Mr.
Bardsley, who rresided, the proceedings were brought
to a conclusion.

DICTATOR OF NA,II.LES.
TURIN, Oct. 16.
Letters from Naples explain the offer of resig-
nation made by the pro-Dictator Pallavicino,
which has since been withdrawn. The republi-

enrolment of volunteers. Garibaldi, yielding to
their influence, was about to dismiss his ministers
and to convoke a provincial parliament for the
11th November, but he was opposed by public
opinion.
