GRAND MILITARY CONCERT.

A performance was given in the Exhibition
Building ort Saturday by the bands of the let asl tad Life
Guards, Royal Horse Guards (Bine), Greoadfilir"Marda,
Midstream Guards, and Scots Ituaiher Guard", in aid of
her Royal Highness the Primes Marl's Fund for powidiee
sumo for the inmates of the Cambridge Asylum. The
heeds were divided into two separate orchestras, one being
placed near the eastern end of the grand eras, and con-
sisting of about 00 performers ; the other nest the western
end, numbering some 150 instrumentalists.
Finer wind-band playing has seldom if ever - hem heard
than on this occasion. The performers seemed to be stimu-
lated to a generous rivalry, not only of prefemianal skill,
but also of enthusiasm in the worthy came ler which the
concert was given ; and each succeeding sprimen by the
alternating orchids left it still more difficult to give
the preference to OWNS'. The overtures to "Maas-
alone" and "Guillaume Tell" may be specially instanced
as marvellous specimens of executive perfection. The
clarieets, which in a wind band have to execute most of
the passages belonging to the violins in the original score,
were particularly remarkable for rapidity and certainty of
execution. Various solo instruments, too, which were coca.
sicandly brought into requisition, evidenced great individual
skill, while the general ensemble gave proof of the admirable
training by the respective teedniasters. The performance,
clothe whole,was quite worthy of comparison with the much
and justly-vaunted Harnonie•Musik of the Prussian
and Austrian regiments. The day wan altogether a most
pleasant one—the gay dresses of the company and the stir-
ring strains of the military bends gave light and life to the
decoded Brace of the pest exhibition. Their Royal High-
nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duchess of
Cambridge and the Printer Mary, with other distinguished
visitors, were present ; and there can be little doubt that
the result of the concert will be largely to the advantage of
the excellent institution in aid of which it was given.

RANG/NOES ILLNESS or CAPTAIN GORDON M.P.
—The Berwick Warder regrets to leers that the health of
Oaptain Gordon, M.P. for Berwiek, continues very pre-
carious. The hoc. gentleman was • few days ago so ill that
hie life was despaired of ; but he has shoe somewhat rallied.
&men AT THE Nzw Roar RLZOTION.—The Rev
Mr. M'Mahon, of the Augustinian Convent, who has bees
confined to bad for • long time, was brought down to vote
is a sedan chair. Daring his removal • mat multitude so-
companied the rev. gentleman, whose wasted almost death-
like appearance created • strong sensation. On his arrival
at the sessions-bane the high sheriff and staff took the
books outside, aa the chair could not be got into the
building. After recording his vote for Mr. M'Kenna, the
reverend gentleman wee carried back to the convent.
The excitement wee sow at ill full height. Mr. M'Kensa's
principal supporters proceeded to the house of the Rev.
D. Kenny, P.P., the entrance to which is in the chapel yard.
The Rm. Mr. Neville and the Rev. Mr. &moth two of the
curates, were inside along with the parish priest. The vith
of Mr. M'Kenoa's supporters was made for the porpoise of
asking the parochial clergy to come and vote, and thereby
turn the majority in favour of Mr. M'Kenna. A large ex-
cited ginned assembled in the chapel-yard. The door was
knocked at repeatedly and loudly, but none of the rev. gentle-
men MUM to the door. A scene such as never we. equalled
in New Rose then ensued. The women went to the front
windows and poured abuse, execrations, and maledictions
on the clergy. It was agreed to stop dues and all manner
of incomes from them. Though the knocker of the door
had been used by the gentlemen is • manner sufficient to
disturb the servo; of the nut somnolent, but without
effect, so far as inducing the clergymen to come out, yet
there were others who thought good would come frost
knocking, and to it they fell, kicking, leaping at it,
and pushing it until the door was smashed in pieces,
and thee in rushed the godly and patriotic. Some
collared the Rev. Mr. Neville up against the well,
and others thought to force their way up the stairs,
where the Rev. D. Kenny was obliged to stand on Madden°e
as best he could, sod to try biters the current of what one who
ought to be ajudge characterised u fiends. The police arrived,
•od the rev. gentlemen were extricated. After this the chapd
doors were clued, not to allow the reetinuance of such con.
duct within sight of the altar. All Ibis conduct was brought
about because the Rev. D. Kenny would not break • pre-
mise that he bad made, that be would not vote for or take
any part with either of the candidate. at the present elec-
tion. The Rev. W. Neville remained for some time walk-
ing in front of the chapel, where be bad to endure hearing
the observations of many not the most reputable in town.

Tug HIGHLAND MOONS AND FORINTIL—We are
glad to report a continuator.e of very favourable weather for
thrumse and the deer. We have not bad such good shooting
prospecta for several years se at present. Generally for the
hat year or two the weather in J tine was wariabliand na-
seasonable for hatching, it having been either very cold or
heavy rains. The weather has been this season, for the
past three weeks, all that could have been desired. Om-
paratively few of the chicks or milts have died, and the
most of the birds are now out of the shell, and the
earlier birds are already strong on the wing. The most
of the coveys are now beyond danger, unless they have to
encounter violent sod stormy weather. The birds, both
young and old, are healthy and in fine condition ; and the
coveys seen number from five to nine birds. From the
deer foredo en ouradag reports reach us, from which it
appears the prospect. d deentelkiug are excellent. The
fawning mama has coninsesesd very auspiciously, and awe
