MUSIC.

UARMONIC UNION.

The concert olthiss;ocieiy:gt;;;at the Hanover-
square-rooms lest evening, conareed of Mendelesebn's
music to the Midsummer Night's Dream, and the same
composer's Fraipurgia Night: together with Molique's
Violoncello Concerto, performed by Signor Ptatti ;
Mozart's aria, " Oh, cam immagine,4 from the Fiala°
Magieo, sung by Herr Reichardt; and the aria, " Non
pia di lion," from La Clemersta di Tito, sung by Misr
Stabbach.
The performances, on the whole, were satisfactory.
The orchestra was not sufficiently strong in stringed
instruments, which did nut produce a body of tone
sufficient to counterbalance the wind, band. A few
additional violins, tenors, and buses would make an
immense difftrenou in the effect. Herr Molique,
however, was a most able conductor, and the
orchestral pieces were correctly and rffrciively
played. In the Midsummer Nights Dream music
no less than three pieces—the overture, the
scherzo, and the wedding march—were loudly
encored. 'the scherzo, in particular, wee delightful,
• from the exquisite manner in which the fiats part
was executed by Mr. Prattea. The beautiful duet,
" Ye spotted Nnakes," was nicely autig by Miss Stab•
bath and Mim Heywood: the latter is a very promis-
ing young singer. Mr. Reichardt sang the fine air
from the Paulo Magico very gracefully ; and Miss
Stabbach•a trash, mellow voice wee hard to much ad
vantage in the air from La (lemma di 71to, though
a little more smoothness and finish would have been
desirable. A principal feature of the con-
cert was Piattie marvellous performance of Mo-
lique's Co, certo, a masterly composition, which was
written expressly for that great violincrllist, mid first
performed by him at one of tte Philharmdoic con-
certs two years ago. Nothing could be better calcu-
lated to display Pia'ti's fine qualities—the exquisite
beauty of his tone, the grate and vocal expression of
his cantabile passages, his clear and articulate arpeg-
gios, and the lightness and brilliancy of his rapid
flights to the highest regime of the scale. In the
Walpurgis Night the solo vocal parts were sustained
by Miss Heywood, Herr Reichardt, and Mr. Wall-
worth. The room, though not crowded, was well
filled; and the audience seemed much gratified by
the various performances.

MR. AGUILAR'S MATINEE MUSICALE.—This emi-
nent protewor gave a matinee yesterday, at his
residence, in Nortoa-streer, to his pupils and their
relatives and friends. There was a large assemblage,
and an interesting performance of classical pianoforte
music from the works of Beethoven, Mendeleaohn,
Sebastian Bach, Clementi, Chopin, He; Prudent,
and Thalberg. The selection showed that Mr.
Aguilar takes an extetutive range, and makes his
pupils acquainted with the mums of the greatest
masters of the old u well as the modern school ; and
many of the young ladies manifested a degree of
taste and intelligence, a purity of style, and a com-
mand of the instrument, which did infinite credit to
themselves aa well u to their instructor.

TES NEGOTIATIONS.

The Journal dos DEbals of yesterday, in an article
signed 8. de Buy, gives an account of the discussions
which have just taken plane between the peace and
war parties in the councils of the Emperor Alex-
ander IL touching the third point. M. de Bacy
says that the peace party urged that the naval forces
of Russia in the Black flea might be reduced eon•
sistently with the honour and interests of the
empire, bat that the war party, sustaining the con-
trary proposition, prevailed. " The last news
from St. Petersburg," says the writer, " leads
us to fear that the Emperor Alexander hu re-
sponded by absolutely rejecting the demand of the
Prince Gortchakoff and M. Titoff, therefore,
adhere to their earlier position, which may be stated
in the language employed in the Daily News on the

NEWSPAPER COPYRIGHT.

THE clauses which the

of the Ex-

artnoxa proposes to add to the Newspaper Stamp
Duties Bill will make that measure all that
can be desired. They will confer upon newspaper
proprietors a copyright in " every original article.
letter, paragraph, communication, and composition,
which shall for the first time be published" in any
newspaper. They will protect this copyright against
lenctoachment by any persons who may within twenty-
four hours print and publish these, "or
say material part thereof, or any colourable
abridgment of the same." They will enable
the injured parties to sue for redress in an
easily accessible court and by a summary process.
And they will enable the registered proprietors of any
newspaper to institute strions for the recovery of
debts, or for enforcing any lawful claim or demand
of their co-proprietors. These additions to the bill
will give the honest and industrious dealer in
" newspaper manufacture" ample protection from
piracy, and will combine the benefits of a perfectly
free trade in newspapers with the security of that moat
estimable kind of property—that which is of a man's
own creation. If the Newspaper Stamp Ditties Bill
thus extended pass into a law we may hope to see
the high character which English journals have at-
tailed preserved, and these publications at the same
tim brought within the reach of a widely increased
&de of readers. Henceforth it will be open to any man
to establish a newspaper, or analogous serial, free
from class taxation or any legal responsibility beyond
what a due regard for the rights of individuals and
the general community imposes. If he wishes to
ob-
tain postal privileges on reatonable terms—or
if a ,company wish to obtain the privilege of
rain and being sued by trustees of their own
nasher—this can be accomplished by the
simple act of registration. Ministers have
wisely and honestly solved the difficult problem of
emancipating the English peso. Their measure is
richly entitled to the cordial support of all who have
wish d or agitated for the abolition of the "Taxes on
Knowledge." While the fate of such a measure is in
the scales we will not haggle about fractions of a
penny in the price we are to pay for the services of
the Pont• office, or inquire too narrowly whether some
of our rivals may not have got a better bargain in
this respect than ourselves. We give in our full and
unreserved adhesion to the Government Newspaper
Stamp Duties Bill—Daily News.

(FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE DAILY )
WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.

Neither the Emperor nor Empress have been seen
outside the Castle walls this (ley. It is said that the
Empress Eugenie suffered severely from the sea voyage,
and is at the present time not yet entirely recovered.
In the hope of being gratified with a sight of the Emperor
and Empress, several thousands of spectators, a great
number of whom were in carriages or on horseback, mem.
bled in the Long Walk. At five o'clock the Duke of
Cambridge, aecompacied by the Prince of Wales and Prince
Alfred, and attendants, rode down from the Castle, and
were loudly cheered by the multitude.
Boon afterwards her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by
the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Wellington,
attended by the Equerries in Waiting, in three carriages,
arrived, and were loudly cheered. The gentlemen com•
posing the shale of the Emperor of the French followed
immediately afterwards on horseback.
It is understood that the Emperor and Empress will take
their departure by the South Western Railway, at eleven
o'clock tomorrow morales, and proceed from the Nine.
Elms station, in the royal carriages, to Buckingham
Palace.

APPEARANCE OF THE GUILDHALL,

CITY, itc.

Daring the whole of yesterday, the found of the
hammer Gould be beard reverberating through every part
of this issuese ball—earpeaters, builders, upbelsterers, and

marquee builders, beim, engaged in finishing the prepara-
tions ordered to be carried out by the corporation, is order
to render the place fit to receive their Imperial Majesties
the Emperor sad Empress of the French.
We yesterday gave an amotint of the preparations made
in t►e great ball, the crypt, end various approaches, and
their panel aspect. Since that appeared, an extra-
ordinary change has taken place is the whole structure ; for
butanes, the trophies of which we gave an amount yes-
terday bane since had placed at the tope of the wreaths
of Peace imams gilded Tinkled creeeents, whilst home-
diatelyover are suspended three beautiful Hags, represent-
ing the colours of England, France, and Turkey. The City,
and also the French arm., have also been emblazoned in
bright Wolin upon the circular shields upon the trophies.

A beautiful ornamantal device in cream Dolour, bearing
the followiag—" Alma, Balakes, and Inksrmana,"—bas
been placed in front of the upper window., which being
surmounted by the French and City Arms, has a most nag
nillesat &et. This tope of the flag staffs attached to the
trophies have splendidly gilt eagles and spears attached,
and the light .biting from behind the devises glen them
an appearance of solid bumishid gold.

The throne or dais before which the gill be
seated will be overhnug by an immense sad ussagnigruely
appointed canopy in white and gold ; is the *same the
eagles of France in silver, whilst at the lower sios are
tremendous grifilos; above this pert rises la a kind of b
form , about eight feet high, the roof, which is beautifully
decorated with eight eagles in gold. Suspended from
the lower part of this esnopy is a pair of magnificently ap-
pointed curtains, famed of the richest silk velvet, and em-
►roidered with golden bite., eaglet, &r., which hose got•
geous a pearghoe upon entering the greet hall.

The whole of the seats in the hell have been covered with
an expensive drab-eolonred cloth, which will have a much

' greater effect in showing off the ether decorations than
would have been the ease if the colour had been hither
crimson or soulst. Them seats have been classified into
three di•isiens; the two first departments aro set apart
respeetively for ladies havieg tickets of certain colours; the
other portion, it is undentood, is to be *et apart far gentle-
men haviag the privilego of *lris.
The spas* on either side of chi eatranso to the dais is
fitted apse as to alkyd standiag roam only, the right head
space being set apart fur the use of the Corps Diplosaatique,
and the left for the acomonsodatims of her Majesty's
ministers. It has been arranged that their Imperial Majesties
shall enter at the north side of the hall, when they will be

eaadacted tl their respective seats feting the dais. Thig
will pnveat much wakens which might possibly Wu".
their Majesties to pan along the grand foot-pats that rue
between the elate in front of the west end, where then
rJ
will take place. Immediately over the entrants of tiushkula
Guildhall-yard has been erected a double orchestra, is
which two military bands will be stationed, who,s the
royal and distinguished visiton enter the hall, will sta.
up " Partaat pour la 8y rie." The whole of the Anna al
of the various galleries within the hall has been drum hi
Mr. C. Waterlow, of Bunhill-row and Bow ; and the don.
rations, together with the appointments withia the WA
hays bass produced by Mr. Fenton, of Badlen Walt'
Theatre. The whole of the upholstery w,rk has bees ea.
trusted to the judgment of Messrs. Rernog and 80a. ai
Fleet-street.

The whole of the rums adjoining the courts of law WI
been gorgeously fitted up and appointed for the accomenie
dation of the visitors. The canopy and some other dem,
Lions have been made of papier mache, by Mr. Jaekessiol
Rathbun-place, Oxford-street. The crypt hu a mostsplindld
appearance, for round the atone tillers and wall* ore saspaadji4
a most expensive amount of ancient tapestry,* hilst thawia.
dews overlooking the yard are filled with fl twits and fonts
*notice. There, together with the flue inurspersod
throughout this part of the &tiniest building, have a very ish,
posing efiect. The avenue leading through the crypt to tk,
back of the great hall has been fitted up as an extra meals
of ',atm all to prevent unnecessary crowding on leaning atm
the imposing ceremony is over. The most elab date work pro.
bably of the whole, in connexion with the preparations rude
to do full honour to the visit of two such distinguished pa.
sonages aa the Emperor and the Empress, is that perioned
by Mr. B. Etigicgton, of Duke-street, Borough in fact, vilus
be has accompliahed on the present occasion appears to hoe
eclipsed all former efforts. The great refreshment rumps.
pared by that gentleman is completely finished, and Ms
footpath is now overlaid with cocoa•aut awns&
thereby showing off the colours of the pooilio,
to greater advantage. The large pavilion in &coo
which has also been fitted up by Mr. B. Edgier%
presents a scene that hex probably never before bees
witnessed is London. Owing to the vut dims,
tiODS of the temporary structure, and its gay appsasuo
in red and white, it canaot fail to strike every. oil
with perfect estonisbnieat. Such a display of nip,
national standards, and streamers, ha never bekes
been exhibited by any other house in the same fly
of business. Between the pillars in the great pavilion aw
extended flags of all nations, and the number pima*
front and round the roof have a ~rand appearatre.

A mat costly collection of pictures, represent* N 6.
poleon I. and his tamiii, have been kindly leottelhe

corporation, in order to give due effect to the ceremony,
There are not fewer than from 2,030 t.) 3,000 Net of berths
put up in the City for the riroteciron of her Majesty's
subjects, and a treble barrier has been put up at the tad of
Farringdon street, to prevent the great pressure frost
Blacktriars-brioge.

The reception of the Emperor ie thus announced to
the French nation in yesterday's Muniteur:
" The Emperor and Empress arrived yea. rdey evening
(Monday) at Windsor anti I the loudest acclamations. The
Queen of England gave the Emperor and Empress the Mali
cordial and gracious reception. Hie Royal Hignnaal Prian
Albert, who had come so Dover in ord-r to receive their
Majesties, accompanied them to the Palace of Windier. It
ie impossible to viva an idea of the enthusiasm with whittle.,
' Emperor end Empress have been received by the &alai
notion from the instant their Majesties set foot ca
British soil. At London, during the presage of the lerpeo
rial procession, mere than a million of persons were counted,
the majority of them wearing the colours of France, sad
uttering enthusiastic 'teals. The town of Windsor bed
raised triumphal arches, and the battlements of the wale
were illuminated. Never has a f reign sovereign received
a welcome so cordial and so splendid. To ley (Tuesday)
the Emperor, the Empress, and the Queen of England,
witnessed near Windsor park a magotfi-rat review el
cavalry and artillery. The day was fine, and then:amens
were executed amid the cheers of the crowd, who thronged
to see this brilliant military festival."

The Emperor of the French has bought the SchloN
Arenberg, near the lake of Constance, former!, the red-
deuce of his mother when Dec rso of S Leu.
