THE FOLEY PLACE TRAGEDY.

Yesterday the adjourned inquest on the body of
Joseph Latham was resumed at the Middles': Hospital,
before Mr. Wakley and the former jury. It will be seen
that the inquiry was further adjourned owing to the
inability of B aaaaa lli :and Mrs. Lambert to undergo exami-
nation.

Mr. Cbambre Vigo», home surgeon in Middlesex Hoepi.
tal, war the first witness examined. I have BursaeHi
under my care. He was brought into the hospital on Sun-
day sunning. He was then sensible ; be had • wound on
the right cheek, the hair wu nearly burned, and the skin
blackened as though from a shot fired very near the face;
he is now progressing towards recovery; within the last
three days be was • little delirious. I should not advise that
be should be subjected to an examination now; he is not
likely to be fit for an examination for a week, and even
then it will depend on the progress he has made is that
time whether he can be safely subjected to an examination.
Mr. H. B. Norman examined—l am a surgeon, and re-
side at 3, Duehess-street, Portland-place. I am attending
a female at 6, Foley-place, wbo has had a wound inflicted
on her. I never asked her what her name was. She has
two monads, one back of the fore arm right hand. Ants.
ready a bullet passed through the back of the arm be-
tween the muscle and the bone ; the other wound is kerne_
diately above the collar bone. I last saw her this morning
about 9 o'clock. She is still suffering from extensive in-
flammation of the right lung, and in • less degree of the left,
She is very free from fever. She is not fit to be removed
hen; it would not be proper even to remove her from bed.
I think the jury may safely see her on Monday week. The
ball is sot extracted ; it has not been found. The presence
of the boll is only indicted by the inflammation. There had
been as expectoration of blood till the sixth day, when
there was • little spitting of blood, caused by the inflate.
station of the lung.
The Coroner said that ander these circumstances all that
could be done wee to adjoin: the inquest again, and, if it
was not inconvenient to the jury. he Proposed to adjourn it
till Mestay, the 29th, at the some: hour and place.
Adjourned accordingly.

,by its publication, will enabler to is At K.
present we tanooly point out a fewof the most remain & ft.
able pieces, which made the strongest impression a
onthe audience. There is no introductory sympbsw. g
The work begins at once, with a chorus open time so
polar in the first chapter of John, "In the brit-
sing was the Word," a grave and solemn strain, in se
the style of the old English cathedral music, tibia ..a.
had a deeply impressive effect. An air, on ords by a
ompbell, "O Zion, lift thy raptured eye," intro- m-
issed and accompanied by a charming combination to
to
of soft wind instruments, and very beautifully sung at.
by Mrs. Endersohn, was received with warm demon- t-
itration' of pleasure. A quartet, "Haste, let us go el.
to Bethlehem," founded upon the melody of an old et.
Christmas carol, exquisitely harmonised and 1,1,.
enriched by some fine pastoral phrases from st.
the oboe, was loudly encored. A trio of the t:
magi, on Bishop Heber's words, " Brightest and best Hi
of the sons of the morning," for three male voioes, BL,
accompanied only by the contra-bassi pizxicati, was I:0
exceedingly well sung by Messrs. Allen, Montem lie
Smith, and Weiss, and gave great delight as a pure t.
and beautiful piece of part-writing. But a still finer
piece of vocal part-writing was the quartet of angels, n
" Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid." It rie
was sung by Mrs. Endersohn, Miss Bleaden, Miss tn.
Huddart, and Miss Palmer, without accompani- :
meat, and warmly encored. Probably the IS
gem of the work is the air, " Behold ri
thy servant," a charming melody which re- es.
minded us of the fine old English melodist& It St•
was deliciously sung by Miss Huddart (who is rapidly lis.
becoming one of our finest native singers), and en- toe
cored with enthusiasm. Towards the conclusion, sea
Mr. Weise produced a great effect by an expressive so
air, " Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in 30
peace." Mr. Hullah's well-trained voices did every is
justice to the choruses, bringing out the plain, broad se
masses of harmony with great clearness and ram- ISL
ts
nance. In the choruses, however, we desiderated a s
little more elaboration. They are rather tooplain, too at
simple, too much in that style of counterpoint which is is
denominated " note against note." We do not relish ZS
the contrapuntal pedantry which shows itself in :.
fugues worked out with siholastio formality; but so
choral writing, beyond any other, demands that :
richness of texture which is obtained by complex lo
combinations and close interweaving of parts. A to
little more of this kind of writing in the choruses tt
would have heightened the effect of this very excel- so
lent work. to

Its success was triumphant. During the per- so
formance the principal pieces were applauded to the Isiot•
echo; and, at the close, the fair composer, loudly so
called for, was led by Mr. Hullah into the orchestra, :
where she bowed her acknowledgments for her so
reception. to

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jax. 17.
It is understood that the report of the commis-
sioners appointed to inquire into the affairs of May- 50
nooth College is at length ready for presentation to et.
parliament. The latter sittings of the commission
have been held in London, and only three out of the It
five commissioners were:able for a considerable time et. I
past to attend—namely, Lord Harrowby, Mr. O'Fer-
rail, and Mr. Twias—Chief Baron Pigott being
absent in the south of France, owing to ill health, N
sad Mr. Longfiekl being engaged with his duties u r
one of the Incumbered Estates Commissioners. is
The extensive (states of Lord Portarlington, in w,
the counties of Tipperary and Limerick, were sold st,
yesterday in the Incumbered Batista Court. The
quantity of land brought under the hammer on this ea
occasion was 23,147 acres, dtvided into 77 lots, all
of which are held in fee simple, with the exception st
of three, which are held under leases for ever. so
Griffith's valuation of the whole was 21,1721. per
annum, and the gross amount of the purchase 1"37:,
money was 274,1601., presenting rather a low aye- I
rage, although several of the lots went at a very
fair rate of purchase. The court was greatly thronged
by persons interested in the sale. Mr. J. Sadleir,
bI.P., and Mr. C. Bianconi, were the purchasers of "
several lots. it

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' MEETING AT
MANCHESTER.

The annual meeting of the Manchester and Salford
Licensed Victuallers' Society was held yesterday_ evening
at the Shakspere Inn, Fountain-street. From the report
and statement of accounts, road by Mr. Redford,suretary, it
appeared that there was a cash balance in favour of the bene-
volent fund of 1,4471. 13e. IL and of the protection fund of
2851. 14s. 94 This, with arrears and property, made a
total of 1,7931. les. 11d., being an increase of 1771. 101. 11d.
There was a decrease, however, of 28 members, the total
number now being 223.
Mr. C. RIDINGS was called to the chair, and said their
financial position was one upon which they might congra-
tulate themselves, but the expenses attendant upon giving
expression to public opinion against the new beer bill hal
been, and would be, considerable. The signatures to the
pretest time to petitions against the bill were 18,000. He
regretted that the police magistrates of Manchester and
Salford were determined to carry out the taw set so much
more stringently than in other puts of the kingdom as to
the meaning of the term bona fide traveller. Persons
coming to the old parish church from Bury and surround-
ing towns to marry or christen were not allow, to ge
into a public-house to warm themselves or for shelter from
the rain if they partook of the merest refreshment ;
one landlord, for giving a single glass of ale to one of these
persons, was fined 10,. He regretted, 5160, to find the chil-
dren in Sunday schools sent out to keep a watch upon
public-houses. Such an act must, and was, inereasieg the
number of bush shops, and he had himself obtained a glass
of spirits in a temperance hotel at a time when he dared not
'have sold one in his own house. (Applause) The act, in
truth, did not prevent the drunkard getting his glass; it
was mainly instrumental in innonuaieneing the sober and
well-conducted.
Mr. GEOROI EADIS moved, and Mr. BIOODSHAW
seconded, the report and accounts, and they were agreed to
unanimously.
Resolutions were also agreed to re-appointing the com-
mittee and other officers, and other busineu of a routine
character was transseted. The new president elected was
Mr. Andrew Debbie, of the Greyhound public-house, Lud-
gate-bill.

A RUSSIAN SPY IN THE CAMP.—A letter from
