MONDAY POPULAR OONCERTS.

---
lAA night's contort presented two interesting
features.

The bat was • quintet for two violins, viola, and
composed by Erma. Our musical readers
know that this exquisite violinist ham been for four or five
years pen in a deplorable state of health—nearly deprived
indeed of the nee of his limbs, and almost without hops
of recovery. He has
his art, with which he has solaced hi hours of
neknem, but using his pen instead of his bow. One
of the commences produced during this period is the
I quartet played last night ; a work remarkable not only for
masterly 000stroctioe, bet for as originality and freshens
of thought and a &serfdom, of toe* that show the pones
sion, at least, of a healthy mind. It was played eon emcee
by Meier& Pieuxtemps, Webb, Wiener, and Platti, and
most warmly received by the sadism: It will give our
musical public great plowere to learn that Ernst is now is
this country, under the operation of the "water-an'
at Malvern, and that Dr. Wilson hes magdns hopes
of his restaraticei to perfect health. His visit to
Malvern, we have bees told, was suggested by Mr R. Bawer
Lynes, who, as is limes, has experienced the benellt of the
medial treat:meet penned than. We thee may hope
again twiner the iOllOll of Ernst's violla, shah have never
been welled in remain beauty and expriseden
The other feature of hat sight's cenixert was Madame
Arabella Goddard's pedometers, of Human" Grand Sonata
is D, op. 106, for the pianoforte alone. This is the last,
and probably the greatest work of this illus-
trious musician, but has hitherto been almost unknown in
this country, never having, as far as are know, been per-
formed.

The other iertrutamitel pieces were--Mend's pretty
sonata in 11, No. 10, far the piano and violin, played by
Arabella Goddard and Visa:tempi; sad Haydn's fine
quartet in A, No. 60, played by the performers already
named. The Wagers were Yin bieseent and lb. Sims
Reeves.
The hall, as usual, wee crowded.

The hon. member, in addressing his constituents, spoke of

if the peace of the country was continued much economy

amount of the first half year. The railway
to Caroor had been completed, and was under
the consideration of the government of Madras, who were
favourably dimmed to that extension, and it was hoped

as would induce them to grant powers to the company to
carry it out, and when that was done he believed their line
would be the moat productive in India. The cost of the

ministry will withdraw the bills of a political
character which they have introduced in order to
modify them, and will shortly propose to the Legis-

They resolved to remain faithful to their former

POLIiND.
, CTfONS TO
VIEFF.

It appears from a document published in the
Mats of to-day that the responsibility of the late
horrible executions at Wilna and elsewhere does
not fall entirely upon General Mouravieff ; the
real executioner is at St. Petersburg. The follow-
ing " instructions to General Mouravieff " were
sent to him by the Czar :

St. Petanbarg, May. 1863.

His Imperial Majesty, attaching the highest importance
to the immediate repression of the troubles which have arisen
la eomedistricte of the Lithuanian provinces, haseoudesioeeded
to appoint his Excellency Geeeral Mouravieff Governor-
General and Commander-in-Chief of the army of the go-
vernmeat of Wiles, he. Knowing the hostile sentiments
of the nobility of those provinces towards the Czar and
Russia, his excellency must employ the most energetic
measure* against those whom he supposes to be favourable
to the rebellion. His excellency must inform himself,
through the marshals of the nobility, am to the feelings of
the proprietors with regard to the Czar, and be must take
such measures as he thinks fit against suspected individuals.
His excellency must by all the means in his power inform
the peasants of the Czar's paternal intentions towards
them, and show them that the proprietors are their
enemies and oppressors. It his excellency thinks it ad-
visable he will give arms to those peasants who are attached
to the Czar and to Ramis. His excellency mutt act with
the greatest severity and energy against the catholic clergy,
who axe the instigators of the present rebellion. He should
have lists drawn up of suspected priests, and take against
them the most energetic measures. Al regards the rebels,
his excellency will shoot immediately all the chiefs who
fall into his power, and will take the moulage he deems
advisable against the prisoners. If oircumstsooes call for it
his excellency can take measures egainst the families who
have members in the bands of the insurgents. Hie excel-
lency ought to put down certain demonstrations on the part
of women, and to prevent them he must adopt, even in their
case, severe measures. If his excellency does not find the
forces now in Lithuania sufficient, he must immediately ask
for reinforcements. Finally, his excellency must use what-
ever means be deems necessary for immediate pacification,
his Majesty having condeeceoded to confer upon him full
powers.

LOSS OP TEE STEAMER CATALONIAN.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF TWO SEAMEN.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of this day.)
Two seamen, named Daniel M'Neile and
Stephen Kelly, were landed at this port last evening
having been brought from Cork by the steamer Halcyon.
They are said to be the only survivors from the
wreck of the Catalonian, Captain Kirk, a large iron- i
built screw steamer, of 600 tons register, 200-horse
power, and 221 feet in length, which was owned by Mesas.
Bibby and Son, of this town, and employed in the con-
veyance of cattle between Oporto and the Heresy.
We are informed that the ill-fatcd vessel bad two w-
ee:igen on board, and that her crew 'sambaed twenty-six
persons, the whole of whom, with the exception of the two
men above mentioned, it is to be feared have meta watery
grave.
The circumstances nuder which the vessel was lost
are given in the following statement, made by
the survivors after they were landed at this port.
The details are Veil meagre, in consequence of the
state of physical exhaustion the poor fellows were
in, owing to their recent exposure and sufferings. They
said they were two of the crew of the steamer Catalonian,
which sailed from Oporto on the Bth instant, with above
200 bead of cattle, bound for this port. On the 9th instant
it blew a heavy gale from the S.W., and when about 90
miles from Cape Fioisterre the vessel almost instanta-
neously foundered. The two men, on coming to the sur-
face of the water, caught hold of a boat which was stove and
bottom up, to which they clung for three days and three
nights with • tenacity which only men situated as they
were could do. At length they were obsei red by Captain
Reece, of the schooner Angelina, who rescued them from
their almost hopeless position, and, after keeping them for
two or three days on board his vessel, he transferred them to
the screw steamer Una, which brought them to Cork, and
had them placed on board the steamer Halcyon, bound for
LiverpooL
On Saturday many inquiries were made at Lloyd's re-
specting the Catalonian. She left Oporto for Live pool on
the Bth inst., and being regarded as considerably overdue
her premiums of insurance advanced to a very high rate, 10
guineas being paid on her at Lloyd's, in addition to the
ordinary ma risk. She bad • very heavy deck load, a great
portion of her cargo consisting of cattle.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT EASTERN.

After the closing of our report yesterday,
Mr. N ii•it Lit ridiculed the first pat agraph of the report,
which spoke of the '• pleasure" of the directors in meeting
Use shareholders, and urged that there could be hardly any
feeling but dissatisfaction at the prospect of so small a
dividend. Ile argued that even this was not received out of
the revenue of the half year, for if that alone had been
relied upon it would hare been or he. 61., instead of
. rad Ile expressed himself in feeling terms with
regard to the late accident on the Lynn line, end hoped that
it would go forth that the directors and proprietors, without
referee.* to the liabilities which it had east upon them, deeply
ttstretted an accident which had caused such a loss of life.
Mr. hones, a director, expressed the strong feeling of
the board with regard to this accident, and though it
would entail a large expense on the company, they re-
gretted it sincerely on account of the loss of life which had
sot-erred. Ile could say that the occurrence would be met
by the directors in the moat liberal and just He
entered tutu dead:Nl explanations in answer to SUMO
criticism of Mr. Michell, showing the necessity of
in▪
creasing the rolling stock, and the advantages to be de-
rived from the policy of extending the territory of the

divideurl he had predicted would be achieved.
▪ The report was then agreed to.
"llr. Beetyis's resolution having been withdrawn, Mr.
Smith's was. after some discusaion, adopted, the words " re-
port their bows to the board" being substituted for "ad-
just the ditierences." . .

Mr. Samuel Anderson and Mr. George Jocelyn were re-
elected directors, and Mr. Soper auditor.

THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS.

A communication front Vienna, dated the 13th,
says that " the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin has accepted the invitation of the Em-
peror of Austria for the Congress at Frankfort.
The King of Holland will be represented there by
Prince Henry, but he will pay a visit to the Em-
peror while he is at Frankfort."
The Vienna correspondent of the Times says:
• '

Early in the morning of Friday, the 14th instant, hie
Majesty will leave for Frankfort, and it is under-
stood that he will stop for a short time at Stuttgardt
iu order that he may have the pleasure of taking the
King of Wurtemberg, who is eighty-two year. of age,
by the hand. Count Rechberg will leave for Frank-
fort in the evening of Thursday, as he purposes paying a
flying visit to his brother, who resides near Esslingen, to
Wurtemberg. The King of the last-mentioned country will
be represented at Frankfort by his son, the Crown Prince
Charles, who is married to the Grand Duchess Olga, the fa-
vourite daughter of the late Emperor of Russia. Three

quantity of plate are slready on their way to Frankfort,
and on Thursday a part of the German Guard ►nd a de-
tachment of Court Gendarmes, ell of whom are non-corn-
missioneal officers, will leave for that city. Several arch-
dukes, the members of the Cabinet, and many of the
dignitaries of the Court, will accompany the Emperor to
the terminals on Friday, aa his Majesty wishes it to be
understood that be attache' the very highest importance to
the stop which he is about to take, and that he, the head of
the German confederation, goes to Frankfort in order to try
to persuade his fellow monarchs to agree to a reform of the
bond—a thing which the German nation has long and
ardently desired.
