MISCELLANEOUS STATISTICS.

Tutu statistics, compiled by Mr. A. W. Fon-
blanque, of the Board of Trade, have just been

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.
Tat Standard of yesterday had an article on what
would have been the probable result of the appear-
ance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the
annual meeting of the Royal Bucks Agricultural As-
sociation on Thursday, which has been no used by
other Journals as to make some observation upon it
absolutely necessary. Our correspondent says:—

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was expected yester-
day to give a declaration of his political opinions, and also
to foreshadow coming measures, at an agricultural gather-
ing at Aylesbury. An engagement which he could not set
aside rendered his presence an impossibility, but he sent a
valuable donation to the funds of the institution.
Acting on this hint the Globe sympathizes in the die •
appointment, which, it says, "is great for political
opponent% as for the right honourable gentleman's
partizans." The fact ;s both the Standard and the
Globe are entirely in error. We have reason to know
that Mr. Disraeli, in reply to the usual invitation,
communicated his intention of being present at
the meeting if previous engagements did not interfere
with his attendance. Thus ter our contemporaries
are tight. But if the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had been present it would have only been as ono at
the earliest and warmest supporters of the associa-

918

tion, and not in his Ministerial or Representative
capacity. It is well known that one of the standing
rules of the society, and one which has never been
infringed since its reorganization in 1838, is that the
introduction of political topics at its meetings is
strictly excluded. It could not therefore be ex pec ted
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would avail
himself of such an opportunity " to give a declaration
of his political opinions, and also to foresha low
coming measures." There is no pretence whatever,
therefore, for the supposition founded upon this error,
and so eagerly disseminated by the Globe, that Mr.
Disraeli was absent from any desire to evade ex-
pected or promised explanations of position or of
policy.

Birdbolt, with heavy engagement?, was not offered
for. Mr. Hodgman obtained Mutineer for 450 gui-
neas, and the hammer fell to Mr. Saxon's offer of
250 guineas for Target. No one would look at
Woodnymph, and after she had quitted the ring the
" !ion " of the sale, Tozophilite, was introduced ;
his coat shone like satin, and he seemed tull of
muscle. Mr. Payne made the first offer, and bid
1,000 guineas for him ; from this he was run up to
2,5001., when the hammer fell. Mr. Payne, however,
was merely acting for Lord Derby, and the horse was
bought in. The reserve price fixed upon him was
3,000 guineas, and considering the value of his
enga4ements, wl.ich, with health, he seems certain
to win, too high a price was not set upon hint.
Streamer was 'nerdy regarded for his great size, but
no one would make the auctioneer an offer. Antiquary
was sold for 22 guineas. The stallions were magni.
cent animals, but the money offered for them did
not come up to the reserve prices. Only 250 guineas
were offered for Paletot ; 800 guineas were Nil for
De Clare, who seems to possess immense power, but
who is rather heavy shouldered. Mr. Bond bid
1,300 guineas for x'azzoletto, who is perhaps one of
the handsomest stud horses in England ; he was
bought in for 1,500 guineas.

poser's style, and will, therefore, convey an ade-
quate idea of the characteristic merits of the
effusions included in the publication under notice,
amongst which it occupies, as No. 1, the post of
honour. It were impossible for us to recommend
the nine choral songs forming the present collec-
tion more strongly to the attention of the musi-
cal public.

Now heaven in Fullest Glory Shone. Air.
From " The Creation." Composed by Haydn.
London: G. 11. Davidson.
ONE of Ilaydn's finest and longest vocal pieces,
clearly engraved, and the accompaniment well
arranged for the pianoforte, from the full score,
for threepence! Is it necessary to recommend
such a publication to the patronage of our musi-
cal readers ? Mr. Davidson calls it a "miracle
of cheapness," and he has good reason to do so.

3fendelssohu's Open-air Music for Voices only.

London : A. Novello.
IT is not too much to say that these part-songs
are the best things of their kind extant. No
great composer ever devoted himself so much to
music of this description—that is, to what is
termed " harmonic melody," which may be pro-
perly considered as a modern invention—and not
one most certainly has written so much of it, or
with an equal amount of success. Mr. A. Novello
has already published four books, or, as he terms
them, "sets," of these delightful productions, and
in his well-known cheap and excellent manner.
No choral society should be without them.

Novelids School Round-book ; or, First Collec-
tion of Fifty Rounds, Catches, and Canons.
Arranged according to their relative difficulty.
Edited by the Rev. J. Powell Metcalfe.
London : A. Novell°.

WE can award no higher praise to these unpre-
tending little compositions than may be con-
veyed in the statement that they are, for the
most part, perfectly well adapted to the excellent
purpose for which they were collected. It would,
indeed, be difficult to find works more fitted to
cultivate the musical ear and taste of beginners
in the art of part-singing.

POPULAR FALLACIES.

A CONTEMPORARY, whose columns arc chiefly
remarkable for the advocacy of an extreme
change, in a democratic sense, in the constitution
of the House of Commons, thus begins a sort of
self-complacent song of triumph :

"Why should not all who pay the taxes be
represented in the House of Commons ? Why
should a man who pays ten or twenty shillings
lees of rent than his neighbour be deprived of a
vote ? Why should three hundred electors in
one part of the country have as much political
power as thirty thousand in another? _ Why

experience
they will not make the attempt, and that the
argument of the Reformers is really invulner-
able."
Our contemporary is quite right when he
dmribes these questions as being " the argument
of the Reformers," and although some little time
may have elapsed since they appeared, yet, as
being the staple questions, they still are con-
stantly repeated ; and as they appear in a pub-
lication supposed to speak the sentiments of Mr.
BRIGHT, we trust we shall do good service by
giving to each and all of them a distinct reply.
" Why should not all who pay taxes be re-
presented in the House of Commons ?"
For this reason : unless these gentlemen
intend to bestow the election franchise far more
diffusely than the most advanced amongst them
have ever been known to advocate, it is necessary
to put a limit somewhere. Every man or woman
who buys a glass of beer pays the excise tax on
the beer, and every child who buys one
pennyworth of brown sugar pays the custom
tax upon it. If, then, all the women and
children, from one end of the country to the
other, are not to have the elective franchise, we
have a ready answer to this wonderful question—
" Why should not all who pay taxes be. repre-
sented because it is necessary to place a
limit somewhere. The question where that limit
is to be fixed is a totally different affair. We,
should not shrink from replying to it, if it were:
put; but, as it is not put, we are content only to
Ore an answer to the question which is put.
"Why should a man who pays ten or
twenty shillings less of rent than his neighbour
be deprived of his vote ?"
This is a very unfair, or, if not an unfair,
a very bungling form of putting the question.
The logical answer to it is this : A man who pays
ten shillings less rent than his neighbour is not
" deprived" of his vote, because a maa cannot
he " deprived " of what he never possessed; and
the man referred to never had a vote, therefore
he has not been " deprived " of it. Now this
111°de of putting the question is not without its

should Parliaments last seven years ? And why
should votes be unprotected from corrupt in-
fluence ? We cannot conceive anything more itn-
portant than that such questions should meet
with attention, and yit we cannot conceive any-
thing less likely than that the opponents to
Reform should be prepared to answer them.
The experience of the last few weeks shows that

CAUTION.

TN consequence of many impudent attempts to
deceive the public, it is necessary to state that all Messrs.
Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade malt,
consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen; to copy
this is fraud, and may be thus detected : If the garment is dark•
col9ured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and
address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold•coloured silk;
if
the garment is light•coloured, the label has a pale drab ground,
and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures, al a
fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials.
H. J. and D. Nicoll have recognised agents in various parts of
the United Kingdom and Colonies, and any information for-
warded through them will be thankfully acknowledged or pot
for, so that the same may lead to the prosecutim of any person
copying their trade mark, or making an unfair nee of their
name; that is to say, in such a manner as may be calculated to
mislead.

CAUTION TO INVALIDS.
Recent investigations have exposed to public observation the
deceptions practised by a certain class of apparently respectabhe
le,
but not over scrupulous, chemists and druggists upon t
Medical Prcfrssion and their confiding customers. Amongst
these " tricks of trade" are the culpable efforts to injure the
repute and check the demand of a popular, safe, and pure
remedy, extens•vely recommended and highly

Faculty in this and other countries—Dr. deJongh's Light Brown
Cod Liver Oil—by disparaging observations and the intrusive
recommendation or secret substitution of a Pale, Yellow, or
Coerce Brown Oil, entirely inactive or seriously pernicious in
d by the
its effects. The motives for this exceptionable conduct are too
obvious to need explanation ; but it is right to caution purchasers
against a possible imposition, as well as to prevent disappoint'
went and maintain the reputation of an unquestionably va:asble
addition to the Materia Medics.

POACIIERS AND PROPERTY.

WHAT is a Poacher ? It has become rather an
important question to consider for Society and for
Humanity. The daily journals of the last week
contain accounts of not less than five or six ca‘o
in which poachers—aggressively, mind, not defen-
sively—have carried personal violence to the
extremity of murder. And in most cases the
fatal result has been the consequence, not of
chance medley, not of heat of passion or of
suddenness of contest, but of prepared and pre-
meditated organization. It becomes needful,
therefore, to ask,—What is a poacher, and how is
he to be regarded by Society, and how dealt with
by the law and its Executive.
The Morning Star says the poacher is a man
hungry and cold, starved, and enterprizing, who,
with the highest instincts and the highest cou-
rage, sallies forth on a dark November nigbt to
get food for his family by the capture ot the
well-fed pheasants, partridges, hares, rabbits,
and other tempting birds and beasts of same,
which in the order of Nature and Providence
do in reality belong to nobody but those wbo
are able to catch them, although by imperial
law they have been made the property of those
on whose estates they are found. Gamekeeperti

A first dividend of 3s. Od. in the pound has been
declared this week upon the estate of Messrs. Fox,
Henderson, and Co.
The Provincial Trade Reports of the week are gene-
rally satisfactory, though as the end of the year
approaches there is in some departments rather less
activity. But the aggregate trade of the country is
enlarging, and from present appearances the spring
will be more than usually brisk. Everything indi
cates this. Money is cheap, new markets are open-
ing, and stocks of manufactured goods throughout
the world are low. The manufactories of Lancashire
and Yorkshire are well employed, though in the
woollen trade doubts are entertained whether the
price obtained for goods can sustain the advance in
the raw material established at the London sales.
Flax is still rising. There is some dissatisfaction in
the linen trade at omissions in the treaty with Japan,
in consequence of which our linen manufactures can
only bo admitted there on payment of a tweuty-per-
cent. duty instead of one of five per cent., which
applied to all others.

VICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
has all those advantages which secured such general pop;.
laxity to Messrs. Nicoll's original Paletot ; that is to say, ps it
avoids giving to the wearer an outs appearance, professional
men ana all others can use it during morning and afternoon in
or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecentaty
seams, thus securing a more graceful outline and great saving
in wear; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the
application of a peculiar and neatly-stitched binding, the mode
of effa;ting which is patented.
In London the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone
be had of H.J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-
street, and 22, Cornhill.

FOR LADIV.S.

\TICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning weer
or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. it
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Hoqueldre, and has all
elastic Capucane Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge,
falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the I'atent) the wearer cm
instantly form semi sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty;
at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its
original shape. The materials chiefly used for travelling are the
sort neutral•coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured
by this firm, but for the promenade other materials are provided.
The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but
with the Mi-chanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more are
charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre.
pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this
Firm's Hiding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames 1 Chevid,
partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required, the
Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part at the
Country, arid is thus well adapted for a gift.

\TICOLL'S PATENT CAPE PALETOT
offers the following desideratum: the Cape descends from
the front part of the shoulders and forms a species of sleeve for
each arm, both are at perfect freedom, having to pass through
enlarged apertures in the side or body of the Paletot: these
apertures, however, are duly covered by the C ape, which does
not appear at the back part of the Paletot, but only in the front,
and thus serves to form hanging sleeves, at the same time con-
cealing the hands when placed in the pockets. The garment is
altogether nu.st convenient and graceful in appearance, and can
in London alone be had of H. J. and D. NICtiLL, 114,11 G, lid,

FRIDAY EVENING.
THE return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday last, the Ist inst., shows the
following changes compared with that for the week
preceding :

Decrease in Circulation , 081,129
Increase in Public Deposits 573,412
Decieasa in Other Deposits 329,103
Increase in Securities
Decrease in Bullion
Decrease in Rest
Increase in Reserve
Bullion in both Departments
Circulation, including Bank Post
B Le 21,107,538
The changes shown by
this comparison in the Bullion
and the Reserve are unimportant : but it will be ob-
served that the securities continue to exhibit a
slight increase, thus indicating a moderate demand
for. money at the Bank. The falling off in the
Private Deposits is a symptom of an analogous state
of things in the open market. The Public Deposits
haveincreased nearly 000,0001., and they now amount
to close upon eight millions and a quarter. It has
been stated, and we presume upon official authority,
that these deposits now include the balances for-
merly lodged by the East India Company, and which,
previously to the change in the home administration,
formed part of the "Other," or private deposits. If
this be so, the item of Public Deposits is calculated
to mislead. The deposits on Indian account should
be separately stated. We should then know how the
Indian account stood, concerning which information
is both desirable and useful, and will be more so
hereafter as the administration becomes more amal-
gamated with the Imperial Government. The item
is calculated to mislead, inasmuch as it may happen
that the British account may be low while the Indian
is the reverse, or vice versd. Again, the Indian
Government may be borrowing upon their bonds, as
it is said they have been this week, from the Bank.
But no addition appears to have been made to the
Public Securities, under which class the loans ought
to appear, if on the other side credit be given to the
public for the Indian balances.
Although the Money Market has been extremely
well supplied the whole week, rates have rather har-
dened since our last, having averaged from two and
a quarter to two and a half per cent. in Lombard-
street. At these terms there has been a good absorp-
tion of capital for commercial purposes. Much of
the demand, however, during the week has naturally
arisen from the engagements at maturity at the coin-
mencement of the month. But the demand, whether
for immediate purposes or for purposes available two
or three months hence, has been well met, and the
applications have been very far from overtaking the
supplies. At the Bank, a quiet and moderate
business has been done, notwithstanding the higher
minimum maintained there.
The Chili= Loan, to which we referred in oar
last, has been all subscribed. It was for. only
1,554,8001., and for a time it was viewed with con-
siderable favour. But it was subsequently felt an

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Mr. W. Mtn mow took his benefit on Monday
evening, when Verdi's Il Trovatore was performed
for the first time by the Pyne and Harrison com-
pany. Great interest was naturally excited by the
announcement of Miss Louisa Pyne as the repre-
sentative of Leonora, and, however large may have
been the expectations of the public, we believe that
the very brilliant result must have satisfied them
completely. Miss Louisa Pyne was, indeed, triumph.
aptly successful, and may henceforward count the
character of Leonora amongst the most striking at-
tractions of her extensive repertoire. Mr. W. Har-
rison was loudly applauded on several occasions, and
the opera was in some other respects tolerably per.
formed.

LYCEUIII THEATRE.
M. JULLIEN'S CONCERT.
Tin two " Beethoven nights" given during the
past week proved, like their classic Mendelssohnian
predecessors, immensely attractive, and served to fill
the house on each occasion to overflowing. The
salient features of the programmes were the render.
ing of the pianoforte concerto in E flat, and the
violin concerto, respectively by Miss Arabella God.
dard and M. Wieniawski, both very great displays
of executive genius, which were thoroughly appre.
elated and most enthusiastically applauded by the
audience.

The symphony was the wry familiar one in C
minoz, and never certainly did it go better under M.
Jullien's direction. I'Ve presume that a "Mozart
night " will follow in due course.

THE REPORT on the arrangements for constzuetia
the main drainage and intercepting sewers •
the metropolis has been presented to the Metropoli
tan Board of Works by Mr. Balzagette the engineer.
The main propositions are to carry out the works at
numerous points simultaneously, to contract at once
for the northern high-level sewer, arrangements to
be made for the purchase of land for the main out-
fall sewer at Barking, preparations to be rustle for
the erection of pumping engines, tenders to be
invited for the deodorization of the sewage in the
western division, eleven contracts in all to be taken
at an estimated cost of 150,0001., or if with reservoir
and low-level sewer on north side of the Thames a
total of 2,131,0001.
THE BIRTHS of 861 boys and 865 girls, in all 1,728

London : Mitchell.

THT.RE are few among the caterers in matters of
taste and art to whom the public is more indebted
than to Mr. Mitchell. To him we owe many a night
of dramatic enjoyment of the highest class, and to
him we owe too the possession of many a work of art
that hanging on our walls delightfully recalls bygone
pleasure. The last production of Mr. Mitchell lies
before us in the form of a Portrait of the Heir to the
Throne. As a portrait merely it would be of high
value, for it is photographed from life ; but,inde-
pendently of its fidelity, it has other characteristics
which command admiration on different pounds.
It is a charming picture, composed with great taste,
and executed with perfect artistic skill. In either
character, whether as a portrait or as a picture, it will
be a charming addition to the rooms of the most
fastidious connoisseur.

MISS (}LYNN, whose public appearances of late
have been few and far between, has not entirely left
the stage. She has been giving readings and acting
at Manchester, at Liverpool, at Bradford, and at
other towns.

YORK, once at the head of English musical pro-

not, will be once more held in 1859.
