MARTA ANTONIA RAlLWAY.—Traffic for She week
• 'ding Sept 9, 1862, 4451. ; 1861, 87U

---Tneasear, Sari. 23.
The selection which the committee had made for
last evening's entertainment, from the works of classical
and popular composers, was so well appreciated, that the
body of Ste hall and the patrons' gallery wen well filled,
and the side galleries did not present so cold and cheerless
an aspect as had been feared.
Beethoven's Binfonia Pastorale," with which the con-
eert opened, was received with rapturous delight, the eon.
elution of every movement being seized by the audience u u
an opportunity for appieuding the magnificent band, whose
elocution was characterised by remarkable precision. From 11l
the interest evinced it was chatty evident that there were 81
very few persons in the hall who were unable to recognise at
the numerous beauties of the composition.
Spolir's duet from " Faust," " Folg' dem Fnunde," et.
was sung by Madame Viardot Garcia; and *
beautiful scene from "II nuncio el' Abram," by Madame 11
Fierentini, who appeared here for the first time, amid •
keret of applause. Signor °ordeal sung the aria from
Mozart's "It }lento Xagico,'"' Oh! can Itnmagine ;" u
mad Mr. Sims Reeves the air " Soft airs mould me play,"
Beim Weber's " Euryanthe." A concertante (by Maurer) is
fee fear violins, with orchestral accompaniments, by
limn. Saint's, Morose, Day, and Cooper, wee
lewdly applauded. The vocalisation of Rossini 's u
Nacqui all' 'Hann a al pianto," b 7 Ma- Id
isms Vona% Harcia, was a triumph. Mozart's es
"rimosti Nom'," by Herr Forman, concluded the first
pan lathe evening's entertainment et.
The second part commenced with selections from the t
•ImMinnesinger," by Mr. Benedict, never before performed. g 4;
%thew:manes which followed Mr. Sims Reeves wan/mond. gs.
The evening's eatintahament was brought to a ekes with la
Meyerbeer's Conflation March. to
lies morning • large audience nuembled in the tall to
hear Mr. PRWOOR°II ROW oratorio, "Jerusalem," performed. is
So full a hail, for a morning performance, has not been et
witnessed for some years. The great majority of those pre- 20
sent were elegantly-dressed ladies. 14
The Oratorio is divided into four portions—an introdue- itt
lion or prologue, and three parts according to the usual 1;t
division of such compositions. The words were selected se
from the Scriptures by the late Mr. William Bancroft es,
Holmes. In part I, the destruction is predicted. in part 2, 111
it is lamented, and the restoration promised. In pert 3, 18
prophecies are given concerning the restoration of the Jews,
and tests follow referring to the New Jerusalem, the last •
judgment, and the salvation of the righteous, the whole jg
concluding with • Doxology. The work includes forty- 4
seven separate pieces of music, the larger proportion of M.
which arc choruses. Throughout the work there is r.o
evolution of any dramatic story, no portraitures of chime- rit
ter, but there are frequent expressions of profound national gs
grief and of triumphant joy. ea
The oratorio had the advantage of performance by vocal- M.
ists of a higher class than commonly appear ;at concerts, 20
and a chorus renowned for its ezactonecution of difficult SO
music; and although • first representation is no sure test N.
of success, it must be said to have been well received. At se
its close there was general and prolonged cheering—very SO
mowed after the performance of an oratorio.

MINES.

TEVIISDAT EVENING.
The transactions in English mining stocks to-day et,
have not been numerous, and the market present' no xe•
feature of especial novelty. There are inquiries for II:.
West Caradon, North Basset, and o few others.
Sales have taken place in South Basset, 615 ; Tin- tV
croft, l2t, ; South Tamar, 6 ; Wheal Arthur, 28 ; 11
East Tamar, 23e.; Gore, !, to prem. Great Pol. •••
gooths are better, at 11 to 2 prem. se
Tho gold mining shares generally maintained their et.
price, but are quiet.
A great deal of attention is still directed to the
various foreign mines carried on by British capital. !I
Copiapo have come into demand, at Si to a. Cobra 2";
shares, which fell yesterday to 42, in consequence of so
the uneasiness excited by the intelligence from the
United States of the designs of the large band of ad- .se
venturers, who, under the designation of the " Order it
of the Lone Star," meditate the annexation or inde-
pendence of that island. Should this event ever
take place, however, it does not at all follow that the
interests of the shareholders would suffer. On the
contrary, there would be a great addition to the
amount of available labour, which has always been
ono of the greatest drawbacks to the success of this
mine. American enterprise would, in all probability, sa
soon effect the establishment of smelting works, th
by which the preparation of the copper would be
much more cheaply performed, and another •
great advantage would be derived from the s,
opening :up of the American markets for
this copper, a market from which it is
at present shut out. It thus appears that the N
malisatien of the apprehensions entertained on this ga
score would be rather productive of benefit to the is
proprietary than otherwise : although the price t
would probably undergo a temporary depreciation ID
' during the revolutionary period. It may, perhaps, P
be considered premature to agitate this question, I,
but there is no doubt the consideration of the politi-
cal changes that may take place in Cuba, has en- Is
gaged the earnest attention of the shareholders. That 111
the view above expressed is the one generally enter- le
tamed by far-seeing people, is proved by the fact that in
in bee of the threatening advices, the price to-day
rallied to 44 to 46.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocu. Is
There is still very little business in the Gold
Mining shuts. Colonial Gold mark prem.; Li-

-"--TEDIUIDAT !VINING.
Business in the Stock Exchange maintains the dull
character usually noticed at this period of the year,
when the transfer books of most of the government
stocks are shut, and the majority of the members of the
house take their autumnal pleasure tripe. Gene-
rally, however, prices are well supported in the
several departments. To-day business twee further
circumscribed owing to this being one of the Jewish
holidays. Consols were rather better at the opening
of tho market, purchases being made at 1001 for
money and 1001 for time, but a little flatness
wu shown later in the day, and the price
left off about the same as yesterday, at
100 to k for immediate delivery, and 1001 to ! for
the 13th October. A bargain in South Sea stock at
1111 formed the only other business recorded in this
department.

The result presented is satisfactory, as proving
the continued expansion of the general traffic of the
kingdom, an expansion which would have been the
more evident but for the disturbing influence exer-
cised last year by the Great Exhibition. At this
period last year the Crystal Palace was much
crowded, owing to its haiing.been announced that
this wonderful exhibition of the arts and industry
of all nations would be closed in October.

THIS DAY.—Two o'Clocx.

Consols to-day have been even quieter than of late,
but it may be noticed that the feeling of the market
is perhaps a shade flatter. There to, however, no
actual change in the quotation, which stands at 100
to for money, and 1001 to I for the 13th October.
This is the only stock that has met with business.
The floating debt remains dull.
Foreign stocks are rather flat. Turkish Scrip and
Oranadian Deferred are both lower, but there is no
business of importance going forward. Granada
