MUSIC.

MR. MELLON'S CONCERTS.

Bottesini has returned, after a long absence, to
astonish and enchant the public with the witcheries of his
marvellous °marshals°. The brilliancy of his appearance at
last night's concert threw everything else in some memo»
into the shade, though the other things were as excel-
lent as usual. When he Pmeelitod himself in the
orchestra he had meson to be convinced that
he had not been forgotten, for he was greeted
with the warmest welcome. He played a fantasia
on favourite opera airs, and it appeared to us that wooder-
fol as he had been before, he was now more wonderful than
ever. He seems to have gained, if pousible, • still more
complete mastery of his intrument, accomplishing the most
astounding teats of execution with as much apparent facility
and absence of effort as it he were handling a violin instead
of a double bass. This increased command of the Matra-
moot has had the natural consequence of increasing his
powers of expression , enabling him to give full mope to the
sentiment and passion of the musk with as much freedom
from restraint as if he were a great Italian singer. Hie
fantasia was received with a perfect storm of applause, in
the midst of which he retired ; bat it brought him back to
the orchestra, and instead of repeating the piece, he played
Peduncles famous solo, " The Carnival of Venice," or Le
Strevhc, that wild, unearthly dialogue, which the great Vio-
- used to give with such indescribable effect. It is not too
I much to say that Bottesini did all that Pagenini himself had
done, and made as great an impression upon the audience.
When he concluded the theatre rang for several minutes
with acclamations, which again brought him back otter
he had left the orchestra ; bat this time he contented him-
,' self with bowing his acknowledgments. In short, his re*
°option was an ovation of the most triumphant kind. The
house was crammed to the doors, and the whole concert
went off with the usual Eclat.

ISIT OF PRINCE HUMBERT TO ALDERSHOTT.
His Royal Highness Pi isoe Humbert visited Aldershottfyes-
terday, when a grand renew of troops took place. His
royal highness, accompanied by Colonel Du Plat and at.
tended by his suite, arrived at Farnborough station about
9 o'clock, where he wu met by Lieutenant-General Sir J,
L. Penoefather. Mounting a hone which had been sent
for his royal highness's use from the royal nod at Windsor,
the Prince and Mir John and party proceeded to the Long
' Walk. Here the Prince was received with the usual royal
salute on such °cautions, and the troops thee marched put.
The Royal Horse Artillery and cavalry repined the saluting
point at • gallop. The division then formed in order of
battle, and a series of operations, skilfully conducted by
the generals, and admirably carried out by the troops, took
place, which resulted in the enemy being beaten from a
strong position on the south, and again from a second posi-
tion on the *sat. The sham fight concluded at a quarter
to 12. The royal and dinioguithed party then proceeded
to the cusp, where his royal highness visited and inspected
the Prince Consort's library, one of the priocipal cook-
houses, the commissariat, the gymnasium, and then partook
of luncheon at the officers' men of the Royal Dragoons.
He next inapsoted a portion of the rebarracks, sad
returned to London io the afternoon. Thew eather in the
earlier part of the day was unpleasant, a heavy fog pre-
vailing, but later became mach more favourable for the
royal visitor.

sem of Mr. Jackson Haines, the champion skater of Ame-
rica, drew a more than usually large number of persons to

sway was almost to lead the spectator to believe the Palace
was as ine-boase and the platform Is heat of the
Shakespere.hogas frozen over. The rapidity with which
he moves in his dances is exceediagly pllsesjag, and Wed
marvellous. His performances WKS preceded by L. petit
Bloodin, the juvenile rope-dancer. They are both an-
nounced for the week.
