THE

THE RECEPTION AT NINE ELMS.

At dawn yesterday morning the approaches to
Nine Elms station ex hibited more life and bustle than
is usually found in that somewhat quiet loca-
lity at noonday. Everywhere men were engaged in
putting up stands to enable such as chose to pay
from half a crown to a pound and upwards
to obtain a good view of the illustrious
patriot. It was a happy thought on the part of
the Working Men's Committee, to suggest Nine
Elms station for the reception, and the South
Western Railway Company, with an alacrity that
does them honour, fell at once into the views of
the gentlemen who took upon themselves the
arduous task of superintending the arrangements
for a public reception into the metropolis, which
has no parallel in the history of the country.
Early in the morning the extent of the
preparations which bad been made, and with the
perfect order which prevailed, were striking.
While outside all was confusion and bustle,
inside all was calm quietude and simple expectancy.

This Company hos been formed for the purpose of acquiring
real property to London ,including lesaehelde, for building
thereon, kWing, or welling.
Particular attention wIU be directed to the acquisition of
properties in ilrst-rate I calitles, where by the erection of
suitable buildings, a large profit can be derived.
With this view a contract hoe been entered into with • arm
who are amongst the largest private owners to the City of
London, for the purchase of their City properties, which cover
an area of nearly an sere and • half, and are situated In Grace-
church-street, Yenchureli-street, Mineing.lane, and hark-law.
Plana can be seen at the offices of the solicitors.

In this purchase It is stipulated that the vendors shall guaran-
tee for a period of years, a minimum return upon the purchase
money, which will secure at once a liberal dividend to the share-
holders, and which will be further Increased when the contem-
plated improvements are, as they shortly will be, fully carried
out.
The Company will have the advantage of borrowing on their
debentures, at rates of interest much under the percentage
guaranteed: and for the present it has been arranged with the
vendors that the larger portion of their purchase mosey shall re-
main unpaid at four per cent. interest.
It is a peculiarity attached to land In the City, that the extent
of business to be conducted In its very limited apace Is daily in-
creasing. The value of the Ume of succeedul traders, and the
convenience of particular localities, are found to be of more
moment than sny question of rent.
The accommodation allotted to the produce markets, in the
neighbanrhood of these properties, has within the last few years
been doubled : yet the scale of rent has increased in • greater
degree, and there seems every reason so anticipate that the de-
mand for first-class cakes in these localities will continue to be
in admire of the supply.
Eight thousand sham are subscribed for: the remaining
twelve thousand are offered to the public.
In case of no allotment, the deposit will be returned.

THE SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice that, on Thursday next,
on the house ping into COOlftlitille of ways and means, he
would move the following resolution by way of amend-
ment :—" That it is not possible for the ofbosrs of t►e
customs to asoertain by inspection the quantity of crystal-1
'sable mecharitie matter contained in any sample of sugar,
and that a law which seeks to effect such an object u unjust
to the producer. inaamuch as by striking with a superior
duty one pound of sugar which by a better mode of mean-
facture contains more saccharine matte than another pound
obtained from the same raw material, it inflicts great die-
couragensent on improvement, whilst at the same time it
elude' large quantities of fin sugar from the market, and
therefore injures both the revenue and the consumer by
limiting the supply."

PERNAMBUCO RAILWAY.

The seventeenth half-yearly onlinary general
meeting of the shareholden of the Recife and Pao Francisco
Pernambuco Railway Company was held yesterday, at the
London Tavern ; Mr. Roam BENSON in the chair.

The report, which was taken as read, stated that the re-
port of Captain Medicine that the company had entitled
itself to an extension of the guarantee on an additional sum
of 480,0001., together with the question of interest paid out
of capital, had been discussed by his excellency with the
company's manager, Mr. Bramalt, and the result had been
that previous to the dissolution of the ministry in January
the imperial government recommended to the Legislative '
Assembly the adoption of Captain Medieros' report ix its
entirety, appending thereto an application from the a
praying the government to make up the sum to which the
emanates should be extended to 500,000/. Till the assent
of the Chambers had been given—a notification of which
was expected by the incoming mail—the directors would not I
be in • position to present • complete scheme of dividend
for the past year ; but there was at present available
31,5841. 4s. 6.1., of which the directors recommended that

during the

eager crop being exceptionally light, and coming to market
• month later than usual ; to the closing of the revenue
year on the 31st of December instead of the 31st of January,
and the adoption, experimentally, of a reduced tariff. The
present Ms of working barely exceeded 101. 10s. per mil*
per week, and a farther diminution of the gross working
expenses was expected. The great want of additional
rolling•stock was more than ever felt, and the expenditure
for that purpose had been urged upon the government
as • fit subiect for • further addition to the guaranteed
capital. The manager had also drawn the attention of the
imperial government to the necessity for the extension of
the line from the present terminus at Cisco Poona into
Recife.

The CHAIRMAN observed that since the report had been

HIGHWAYS ACT.

Mr. LIDDELL asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's government to move for the appointment of •
committee of iuquiry into the operation of the Highways
Act previous to introducing further legislation on the sub-
ject, or any amendments of the said act.
Sir G. GREY replied that he thought an inquiry would
be desirable before they attempted to make any extensive
change in the law with regard to highways. The act had
not yet been in operation for • sufficiently long time to tent
its merits or advantages. He was afraid therefore that as
inquiry by • committee of that house would necemerily
be an imperfect one, by reason of the want of proper tape-
penance as to the working of the measure. He certainly
would not propose a committee of inquiry during the pre-
test session. The amended bill would not be an eseduove
sewn,,, but only one intended to remedy some of thew
defeats represented to exist in certain districts of the
country.

The beakrupt, a dealer is fancy articles in Drurylase,
applied ter his ceder. Against unsecured debts of 1,029 L,
the assets had realised • little ever 1001.
Mr. I*wrasoe, for the bankrupt, said that the meets
were estimated at over 7001., but they bad suffered a very
serious depreciation. It was disgraceful to see the way in
which bankrupts' stocks were carted away and sold for any
they would fetch.
Hts Honour said it was unfortunately a very common
complaint of the way in which bankrupts' Weeks were
realised.
Brandon, for the assignees, did sot oppose. The
bankrupt, who was employed in a tobacco manufactory, had
established his wife in business as a dealer in fumy articles,
and the bad had the sole management of that Mumma
Mr. R. Griffiths opposed fur Mr. P. Raphael sad other
creditors, who complained that the bankrupt had not ren-
dered satisfactory accounts of his tnumactioes.
The bankrupt, in examination, said that 12 gross of cartels
de visite, which had cost him 14L, had sold at the sale for
28e. ; and a glass use, which had cork 75e., had been sold
by Messrs. Cutters and Davis for 10s. to prevent removal.
Ilia petition bore date on the ith of January, and he had
bought goods and accepted bills so late as November, but
bad not opened any new accounts.
Mr. Cameo, of the firm of Cotter' and Davis, auctioneers
to the court, deposed that the bankrupt's goods had fetched
a very fair price. The stock, which might have cost 2101..
had been exposed in an open window, and was much soiled
and damaged. It fetched 901. at the sale. Had never seem
as invoice of any of the goods. He admitted that goods
often fetched better prioss when gold on the business pre-
mises than when removed to Basinghall-street, but that
was not always the case. In the present instance there was
501. due for rent, and the goods were removed to avoid this
claim.
Hit Honour did not think it a case where further ac-
counts should be required. The only effect of an adjourn-
ment would be to increase the expense. As there was no
charge under the 159th section, the order would be 'nutted.

The bankrupt was a builder, of Belvedere, Kent. The
accounts, prepared by Memel. Paul and Turner. show deb:a
of 12,8004, with wets and property estimated to yield up-
wards of 14,0001. This was the sitting for examination sad

PUBLIC MOLIDAYS.

The Early Closing Association, through the
medium of Mr. Henry Walker, have for some
time past been engaged in the very useful teak of
endeavouring tosupply means by which, onoccasions
of adequate public interest, a general holiday may
be legalised for business purposes, without the re-
curring necessity of a special Act of Parliament.
In several instances of late years the banking and
commercial interests have been made painfully
aware of the inconvenience arising from the present
anomalous state of the law, and the community at
large have, therefore, every reason to feel grateful
to toe gentlemen through whose exertions a remedy
seems likely to be at last arrived at. The following
is submitted by the association as the outline
of the bill to be introduced, if possible, during the
present session of parliament, in order to meet this
object, and to protect the commercial interests
which may be involved. Bankers, merchants, and
traders interested In the matter will do well to
strengthen the bands of the association by their
counsel and support :

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE
ALABAMA AND THE SLOOP KEARSAGE.
DESTRUCTION OF THE ALABAMA.
SOUTHAMPTON, Joan 20.
The steam yacht Deerhound has arrived off
Cowes with Captain Semmes and the crew of the
Confederate steamer Alabama.

The following are the details of the engagement
which took place yesterday :
At 10.30 a.m. the Alabama was observed steam-
ing out of Cherbourg Harbour towards the
Federal steamer Kearsage. At 11.10, the
Alabama commenced the action by firing with her
starboard battery at a distance of about one
mile. The Kearsage also opened fire immediately
with her starboard guns, and a sharp engagement
with rapid firing from both ships was kept up,
both shot and shell being discharged.
In the manoeuvring both vessels made seven
complete circles at a distance of from a quarter to
half-a-mile. At twelve o'clock the firing from the
Alabama was observed to slacken, and she appeared
to be making head sail and shaping her course for
land, which was distant about nine miles.
At 12.30 the Confederate vessel was in a disabled
and sinking state. The Deerhound immediately
made towards her, and on passing the Kearsage
was requested to assist in saving the crew of the
Alabama. When the Deerhound was still at a
distance of 200 yards, the Alabama sank, and the
Deerhound then lowered her boats, and with the
assistance of those from the sinking vessel suc-
ceeded in saving about forty men, including Captain
Semmes and thirteen officers.

PIAINOVORTII_

The Pile"la.@ Chorus, Rom Wageees Tannheaser Jaell.

Beethoven's Trio in B fiat was performed by M. Jaell'
M. W ieniewski, and M. Davidoff. Wieaiawaki has long
been known to the London public ; but it is only this
season that they have been fully acquainted with the talents
of M. Jaell as one of the greatest pianists, and of M.
Davidoff as one of the greatest violocosUiste in Europe.
The powers of all the three were called into action in this
trig which is undoubtedly the moat remarkable work of its
class tbst ever was written. Its place in the catalogue of
Beethoven's works shows that it belongs to what is called
his " third period," when hie genius, according to
some critics, had reached its fullest developmeet,
or. according to others, had peened that stage and fallen into
those eccentricities which went on increasing down to the
time of his death. Whatever opinions may be held as to
the general character of Beethoven's latest compoeiticea,
there is but one opinion respecting this particular work.
It, at all *Teets, must have bees the fruit of some of his
happiest hours, when he was free from those morbid influ-
ences which clouded his mind and affected the
style sad character of his music. No °miner
tion of three instruments has ever equalled
the power of this trio. It has all the power
and variety of a great symphony—now breathing the
sweetest Orals, of melody, now enriching the ear with
ravishing harmonies, and now omelettes the thunders of a
full orchestra. It is often wild and startling, bat never
obscure or capricious. Its large in proportions, clear in
design, and adapted in every phrase to the powers of the
different instruments. The grave dignity with which the
first movement opens at once commands attention.
which is kept up by a succession of bright and hum-
id ul ideas till the Let her of the piece. Pro-
bably it was never better performed than on
this occasion ; at least we have never been more strongly
impressed with • sense of its wonderful grandeur and
beauty; and the cultivated end intelligent seemed, from
the warmth of their applause, to have received a similar
impression. Mozart's Quartet in G, the first of those six
exquisite gems of art which the young composer offered
as &tribute of veneratka to Joseph Haydn—in the per-
formance of which Messrs. Wieniewski and Davidoff were
joined by Mr. Ries sad Mr. Webb—was a perfect specimen
of quartet•playing and a delicious treat to the audience;
and Beethoven'■ Sonata for the piano and violin—
one of his early and moat planing productions,
wall known to our amateurs—was not less interesting and
delightful. Madame Lanchelizka, who sang the vocal pieces
named in the programme, is a Polish lady lately arrived in
Loadon—a very accomplished awl pleasing performer.
