MUSIC.

AMATEUR CONCERT POI THE RELIEF OF THE SICK
AND WOUNDED AT SCUTARI:A Soirée Musicale
with this benevolent object was given at the Hanover-
square Rooms last evening. It wee announced with-
out ostentation; no names having been mentioned,
either of the individuals by whom it was got up, or
of the performers. The great room, nevertheless, was
crowded to the doors ; and the proceeds, which, it was
stated in the programme, are to be presented to Min
Nightingale, must have been considerable. A perform-
ance so praiseworthy in its object, is not a subject for
criticism; but had it been, it deserved to be spoken
of in favourable terms. The platform was occupied
by a body of elegant-looking ladies and gentlemen—
members, we presume, of some private amateur
society—who performed a very good selection of
music, consisting of favourite glees, madrigals,
choruses, concerted pieces from operas, airs, and
duets, which were sung in a very agreeable manner.
The only instrumental piece was Thalberg's duet for
two pianofortes on themes from Norma, played by
two young ladies with coneiderable execution and
excellent effect. The performances appeared to give
great pleasure to the audience, by whom they were
warmly applauded.

A MODERN CINDERILLA.—The Saila Public u..
Lyons contains the following strange tale, the truth of
which it guarmeeee:—" About two months ago, M. de
abet—, a gentleman of large property in the neighbour-
hood of this city, on leaving the theatre, eller a performance
of the Moil, du Nord, picked up • white satin shoe. On
examining it he found that it must have been made for a
foot remarkably small and elegant. He asked the box-
keepers if any one bad announced the loos of the shoe, but
I was answered la the negative. Ho took it home with him.
The more be sow it the more he admired it ; and he
Jumped to the sonclusion that the owner, having so
small • foot was, in all probability, extremely beau-
tiful. Ho showed the shoe to all his friends and
scquaintanosa, and caused them to make inquiries after the
owner. Bet he could gain no elms to her. At last it struck
him that, as the person who had lost it could not have
walked home, be might gain some information from the
cabdrivers. After eight days spat in inquiry, he found a
driver who remembered having driven a young woman who
bad lost a shoe in the Rue Thameseln. M. de abet—
thereupon made inquiries at every hoses in that street; and
he at length discovered a young workwoman, who Mash-
ing) y confessed that the shoe was hers. As he anticipated,
h- found that she was remarkably beautiful, and on in-
quiry be learned that her character was very rod. He
fell in lore with her--end as his prepositions were honour-
able, the girl listened to him. A few days ago they were
married.

AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY.

This society is flourishing this season more than
it has ever done before. Its g 1 management is im-
proved ; its orchestra is improved in strength and discipline
its concerts are improved, both in selection and performance
and the consequence of those improvements has been a cor-
responding increase is the audiences. On Monday even-
ing the groat Hanover-equare room was crowded to the doors
with the most fashionable company in London. The
appointment of Mr. Henry Leslie as conductor of the
orchestra has been a fortunate step, which meets with
universal approbation.
The programme of Monday evening's concert contained
soma ebarmiog music, both vocal and instrumental. Haydn's
beautiful Symphony in B fiat (the ninth of Salomon's set)
was perfeevy well played ; the fire andante especially was
most smoothly and delicately given. The London German
Choral Society (Londoner dentscher Manner Chor), a body
of City amateurs, directed by Herr Paster, nog several of
the finest German part•sonfis in a manner not in the least
inferior to the celebrated Cologne singers who lately
visited this country. Weber's famous war song, " Littzow's
wilde Jagd" (Latsow's Wild Hunt) was given with im-
mense fire, and made a great impression. Lucas's overture
to The Begteide, a composition of great merit, was played
with much effect. The great performance of the evening

- -
Was Mendelssoha's Pianoforte Concert, in D minor,
played by the young lady known in musical
circles by the name of Angelina, whose fine com-
positions we have often had occasion to mention
in terms of deserved praise, but who now appeared, for the
fir-t time (we believe) helots a public asvembly. Her per-
formance of this arduous work would have done honour to
any of our professional artists ; in Intelligence, feeling,
beauty of tone, and brilliancy of execution, it was of the
highest order of talent. Her success was triumphant.
During the performance the audience repeatedly ezprissed
their delight, and she left the orchestra amid thunders of
applause. Benedict's French romance, "La Cloche de la
Pr i rrr ," was exceedingly well sung by Mr. Tennant, a
young singer of much merit sod rising reputation ; and two
German songs, of Schubert and Esser, were beautifully
sang by Madame Pacer. This concert, as a whole, wen
uncommonly interesting, and will conduce to the prosperity
of the Annular Musical Society.

to remove other tams. It so happened that the doty
hops had for several years produced less than 100,000/.1
year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER kid ots•
vernmeut entertained no present intention of making am alteration in the Excise duty on hops. With agate to th;
Customs duty, there was now a duty of 20,. a cwt. on f •
bops until the lot of August; sad alter that date the duty

desirable for fiscal arrangements te prolong the existent, of the lower rate of duty.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jas. 12
A complete panic has been caused in the provision
trade of Cork by the news of the peace negotiations.
It appears to have specially affected the pork market,
but the prices of wheat and oats have also gone down
considerably.
The Mayor of Cork has issued a warrant for the
apprehension of a flour dealer wbo had been detected
in the adulteration of floor with barytes and several
deleterious substances.
It is now intimated in Cork that the Lord Lieute-
nant will not visit that city for the present, and that
there will be no formal opening of the Atheoreum
there. It is thought, however, that his excellency
may be able to pay the city a visit in the course of
next summer.
Mr. Sharman Crawford, the patriarch of tenant
right, has published a long letter on that subject in
the Irish papers.
Twelve ships, freighted with grain for the Eng-
lish and Scotch markets, sailed from the Shannon

THE EMPEROR'S FAREWELL TO THE

IMPERIAL GUARDS.

The following appears in the Patrie of yesterday
evening :
Yesterday and the day before, the Emperor assembled at
his table all the officers of the detachments of the Imperial
Guards leaving for the Crimes, under the command of M.
le General libriek. The dinner partook of the enthusiasm
excited in all hearts by the simple and beautiful harangue
pr-itiounced at the review.
The cordial and distinguished reception given to the
brave officers of the Guard by the Emperor and Empress
could not fail to call forth anew the sentiments of fidelity
and of generous ardnar which signalised the memorable
review of the 7th of January.
After slimier the Emperor' and Ensprcei kindly min.
pled with the groups of the guests, addressing words of
sympathy to each of these brave men. At the mement of
departure, the Emperor, raising his voice, and in accent
fall of emotion, uttered, some weeds, the latter pertion of
which were as follows :—" Go," said his Majesty, "my
thoughts will follow you in the distant country t o which you
go to fi,:ht for the cause of right and for the country's ho-
nour. I shall be with you yet more when absent than
when present."
A unanimous cry of " Vice l'Empereur !—Vove
retries !" greeted these wort's, which will remeiu graven on
the hearts of the officers of the Guard, and the remembrance
of which will especially be with them when under the fire
of the enemy.
After the dinner of the Tuileries, the Emperor presented
to tech one of the officers of the Guard who had had the
honour of losing admitted to his table a magnificent pelisse,
lined with fur. We can well understand with what •cnti-
ments of gratitude each officer received this gift—this new
and touching proof of the solicitude of the Emperor for the
brave defenders of the country.
Before marching to the terminus of the Lyons railway, the
detachments assembled under the windows of the Emperor
at the Tuileries. There, in the presence of a crowd, which
joined its acclamations to those of our brave soldiers, the
air resounded with enthusiastic cries of " Vivo l'Empe-
reur !" From the height of the balcony the Emperor re-
sponded in waving an adieu.

Mr. Henneker and Mr. Locke appeared for the plaintiff;
IT
Mr. M. Ctrunben and Mr. Komphy for the defendant.
This was an action brought H
on ma
promissory note for
3001. The defendant pleaded that he did nut make the note,
and a set-off of 751.
According to the plaintiff's case, the defendant, who was
a pawnbroker carrying on business in Tottenham-cond-
ense', being in need of money in his business, borrowed
3031 of the plaintiff, his brother, who wall a farmer at Hat-
field, in Ewes, for which the promissory note was gives.
The defendant was to pay Gt. per cent. for the loan. The
promissory note was tett dat the defendant's
bongs, and the plaintiff had been unable to regain poesession
of it.
The plaintiff in his evidence swore that be had seen the
defendant make and s'gu the note, and that he had loft the
desk containing the note at the defendant's house.
The defence wee that the plaintiff had lent the money,
but no promissory note had been made. An agreement had
been entered into between the plaintiff and tho defendant
at the time of the loan that six months' notice was to be
given before it was withdrawn. Several witnesses were
called who contradicted the plaintiff's evidence. The de-
fendant swore that he had ade the promissory note,
and also proved the set off of 751.

PATRIOTIC FUND AT MANCHESTER.

A meeting of the Manchester committee wan held
yesterday at the Town-hall, the Mayor in the chair, when
it was reported that independent of the past week's receipts
the total 'mounter subscriptions was 25,7001., and that of
this amount 21,0001. had been paid into the bank. It was
agreed that the Mayor should remit to the commissioners
in London, through the Bank of England, a cheque for
20,0001., subject to the following resolution (moved by Jo-
seph Heron, Req., town clerk, and seconded by J.C.Haster,
Esq., and agreed to unanimously)," That whilst entirely
sympathising in the feeling of confidence universally enter-
tained is the commissioners appointed by her most gracious
Majesty to manage and appropriate the Patriotic fund, this
committee would respectfully suggest for the consideration
of the royal commissioner the propriety of ordering that
the proceedings and resolutions of the commissioners which
may involve the appropriation and distribution of money,
shell
primed,
printed, and that copies shall be obtainable
upon application by any of the committees which
have been enraged throughout the country in
collecting the large amounts so willingly and liberally
contributed in answer to the appeal made by her most gra-
cious Majesty. That in the opinion of this committee it
would give general public satisfaction to know that such
information may, if desired, be obtained : whilst the pub-
lication of the resolutions and proceedings of the commis-
sion would doubtless tend to satisfy all contributors that her
Majesty has most wisely selected the distinguished indi-
viduals constituting the commission, in order to secure the
most impartial and beneficent distribution of all such sums
as may from time to time be received under or by virtue of
the royal commission."' There was an unanimous expres
Sion of opinion that there would not be the slightest ap-
proach to any hesitation on the part of the commission
in giving information, but, on the contrary, that this resolu-
tion was passed with a view of affording the commission an
opportunity of giving the information, which they no
doubt desired to do, and thus prevent the possibility of
people cavilling with regard to the application of the fund
on the pretence that they could not obtain information with
reference to its distribution.

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of the
British possessions in America, computed from the returns
made in the week ending the 9th day of January, 180*5,
is 20s. 9ld. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 17$. Old.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, no return. The
avenge price of the two foregoing descriptions of sugar,
jointly, is 20s. 61d.

SUGAR.—Thurror., Jew. 12.—There Les been a good
demand fer all descriptions since our last report, and former
prices have been generally supported, although here and
there suns slight concession has been submitted to. The
transactions of the week comprise about 1,200 hhds. and
tierces West India, 6,000 mats Mauritius (of the new crop),
660 tons Java on the spot, and 1,200 boxes yellow Havanna
floating. The refined market is steady, bat not very active.
Rants are still quits neglected, and prices nominal.

COTTON.—Liortnro Jett.l2.—This week, influenced
by very large purchases on the part of spinners, and also by
the ceatinental advises of the renewal of peace negotiations
by the Russian ambiumador at Vienna, on the terms pre-
viously laid down by the Western Powers, our cotton mar-
ket has manifested a strong and upward tendency, many
holders on Wednesday, when the American advice. came
to hand reporting but moderate receipt., and no important
decline at the southern porta, withdrew their cotton, and
buyers were then compelled to pay id. per lb. advance id
the middling to good middling qualities of American upon
the rates current last week, and at that found a very poor
selection. Middling Orleans are now worth bid., Mobile
6d., and Bowed. 4 16-16 d. The fair qualities remain as
last quoted, although they can hardly be purchased as low
as last week, the attention of speculators having been
directed to these qualities for their comparative cheapness.

Mr. Berjeant Byles stated that this was an action upon a
bill of extbange, brought by the plaintiffs who are bankers,
and one of the questions in the cue was whether the plain-
tiff. bad given consideration for the bill. With the view of
ascertaining the truth upon that point,the defendant was de-
sirous of inspecting the plaintiffs' book., and he made an ap-
plictition to Mr. Justice Mauls for liberty to do so. Ilia lord-
ship however thought that it was a matter which ought to
b.: taken ht.( ‘TO the full court, and the motion was accord-
Ugly made to-day. The question wu whether a banker's
books were privileged in such a case, or whether they were
liable to be inspected the same as any other document.
The Court granted arole.

LEPROV V. CSIDLAND.—LIBEL.
The plaintiff in this case was an attorney, and the de-
fendant was a magistrate of the county of Somerset. It ap-
pesred that the defendant, whilst hying apart from his wife
under a decree of the Ecclesiastical Court, bad written a
letter to her which imputed an improper connexion between
her and the plaintiff, who had acted as her solicitor in the
proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court. The letter was
sent to the plaintiff, and he thereupon commenced the
present action to recover damages for libel, and at the trial
before the Chief Justice in bliddlescx, the jory gave a
verdict for the plaintiff. damages 1,000/. A rule, however,
was subsequently obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to
show caws why there should not be a verdict for the de-
fendant, the principal paint being that there had been no
sufficient publication of the libel. The case was today
called on for argument.
Mr. Edwin Jam, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. fferjeant 13yles and Mr. Ilacioen for
the defendant.
After some obeervations from counsel, it was arranged
that the action should be settled, upon the terms that it
should be left to the chief justice to say for what amount the
verdict shoal! be entered, and that, as there were eae or
two communications which it was not advisable to read is
public, his lordship should hear one counsel on each side In
private, after the court had risen.
The case was disposed of accordingly.

The proposition selected by the Clevedon Com-
missioners for special condemnation is this, "that to
ill who come to the Lord's table, to those who eat
and drink worthily, and to those who eat and drink
unworthily, the Body and Blood of Christ are given;
and that t 7 all who come to the Lord's table, by
those who eat and drink worthily, and by those who
at and drink unworthily, the Body and Blood of
Christ are received."
The Commissioners have omitted to state, or even
to allude to, certain words, the omission of which
cannot have failed to mislead the public, notwith-
standing that these words, or words equivalent to
them, are connected with the substance of the above
proposition in no fewer than twenty-eight places in
the three sermons.
„This act of the Commissioners is the more extracts'.
"4!,ry because their attention had been distinctly
finned to this particular omission by my counsel when
spsakieg upon the subject.
The words that I refer to u what ought to have
i_.twon appended to the above proposition are the fol.
wig
That the effect, efficacy, power, or operation of the that;
1112, liven and received may be onto life, Si is the ow of
Tees who receive worthily; or may be unto death, as in
IN ease of the.. who receive unworthily.
Ins diet the Commisionere have exonerated me
°MI all imputation of Romanian. Whatever the
value of this declaration on their part might have
been,it is effectually destroyed by the unfairness of
the earlier portion of their report.

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL PELISS[ER.

(21r DUDNANINI AND NAITISE TIILIGRAPIL)
(114 M Ova OWN OONANSPONDINT.)
PARIS, MONDAY Monsteto.
The following telegraphic despatch has just been.
received from General PeHosier, dated
VAILNA, Sirt. 9, 3.86, MOIXINCI.
i 4 We commenced the assault on the Malaklsoff at
noon. Its entrenchments and the Reelan of Careen-
ing Bay, were carried by our brave soldiers with
wonderful impetuosity. We immediately set about
occupying the place. We succeeded as to the
Malakhoff, bat the Redan of Careening Bay we did
not hold in consequence of the heavy artillery
discharges which struck down the first occupants
of that work. However our footing in the Malak-
hoff will soon enable us to reduce that as well as
the Redan itself, of which our brave Allies carried the
salient with their habitual courage. But, like our•
selves, before the Redan of Careening Bay, they
were forced to retire before the enemy's artillery and
his powerful reserves.
" When our eagles were seen floating on the Ma-
lakhoff, General De Sallee made two attacks on the
Central Bastion. They were not successful. The
troop retired into the trenches.
"Oar lose is severe; wecannot yet Goats its amount,
but it is entirely compensated by our success, for thb
taking of the Malakhoff is a result the consequence of
which will be immense."

WAR DEPARTMENT, Eizrr. 8.

Lord Panmnre has received tae following intel-
ligence from General Simpson, dated Crimea, Sept. 8:

" A large fire is burning this morning about the
middle of the town of SebastopoL
" Last night, about five minutes past one o'clock,
a great explosion took place, supposed to have been
one of the enemy's magazines on the north side."

Yesterday's Monasur contains the following :
" The subjoined despatches hue reached the

AFFAIRS AT ST. PETERSBURG.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 30th ult., in
the Conditutionnel, says: _

Bankruptcies succeed bankruptcies here—the Tribunal
hes declared twenty today. The public establishments of
credit appear, however, to suffer less, it the official report
of the Minister of Pinson, Gan be relied on. He lately
stated to the Council of the State Institutions of Credit that,

notwithstanding casting circumstances, the banks continue
their operations with satisfactory results. Thus, for ezensple,
in the savings bank there was en increase of 3,168,674
silver roubles in the last financial year (the silver rouble is
upwards of 4fr.), in the depot bank there was no diming•
Son, and in the deposit bank there was an increase
of 6,552,808 roubles. These figures are printed in
the report;; it remains to be seen what has become a the
money which they represent. Moreover, the minister
announces that tie loan of 50,600,000 roubles bee been
realised, and that the repayment of it win commence in
1867. He informs us that the amount of the state debt is
476,615,039 roubles. The operations of the commercial
bank have increased their profits by 1,236,145 roubles, but
tills is a small ',stilt, 600,000,000 of capital having been
employed to obtain it; and this is a proof how much Itoseia
suffers from the present war. The Grand Duke Nibbles
Nicolajewitch is at present building a splendid palace. ?der-
bies of Finland and Siberia have been ordered for this new
ornament of the an/ail!! capital. It is said that the
prince will aeon be married, but the report that was current
recently, that he was about to marry the daughter of the
Grand Deka) Peter of Oldenbarg, appears premature.

ARRESTS IN AUSTRIAN ITALY.

A letter from Vienna, of the 3rd, in the Cologne
Gazelle, says :—" The news from Italy is very im-
portant; a great number of arrests have been effected
in Lombardy. Most of the persons arrested are
accused of having taken part in the Mszzinian
conspiracies, and some of having attempted to seduce,
soldiers from their duty."
Abd-el-Hader (says the Gazelle de Lyon) still
suffers exceedingly from cholerine. He refuses to lie in bed,
and remains extended on the ground. wttb his heed resting
against the wall. He refuses to follow the prescriptions of
Ins 'medical attendants, and replies to all their representa-
tions by the well known phrase of the Mahousetans, " If I
am to die I mast die, for ao it is written." He takes, little
chicken broth from time to time, end that is all. He talks
of leaving for Peris in a day or two, if he can by possibility
support the

REPORTED LOSS OF H.M.S. WOLVERENE.

—.—
The steam•ship Daniel Webster, of the Nicaraguan
line, arrived at New York on the 27th, brought news
of the loss of her Majesty's sloop Wolvereue, Com-
mander John Corbett, 12 guns. The following is the
statement on the subject published by the New York
papers :

Oe the night of the 14th a terrific henicane swept over
the likequito Coast, involving the total loss of her Britannic
Majeure sloop-of-war Wolverane. Her cutter reached San
Jun del Bar ea the 16:b with despatches for the steam
fsigate Buzzard, lying in that harbour, to render immediate
amistanee, and she left for the scene of disaster u soon as
steam was got up.

Some of the circumstances mentioned in this para-
graph give ground for hope that the loss of the
ship may cot be so complete as here affirmed, or at
least that all lives us saved.

Schupak and the Turkish capital is finished, and de-
spatched have been already sent. The news from the
Crimea are to the 28th. The letter of the Emperor of
the French to General Pelimier had produced a great
sensation in the army. The works of the Allies
were within ten yards of the Malakhoff
Tower. The French Imperial Guard had fixed
itself on the Tchernaya, another attack being
expected there. The intelligence from Trebi-
zond to the 24th states that provisions and
ammunition are beginning to get scarce at Bars. A
Russian column had attacked Erzeronin by night,
and was repulsed with a loss of 300 men and a
general killed. The garrison of this place, however,

DUBLIN TRADE REPORT.

ugly languid, owieg p ineipally, we believe, to the recent
advisee in price conuquest upon the inereased duty; but,
though ale and porter b me become dear in nearly the MOO
proportion, the cotautaption has been very great—rather
mach increased we should think. The followlm abstract

PARES., SUNDAY EVENING.

The prefect of the Gironde has published a letter
from the Minister of Commerce (which has doubtless
been addressed to other prefects), stating " that the
Government does not, either directly or indirectly,
take upon itself, as a government, the task of
providing the supplies of grain of which France
may stand in need." It leaves this to commerce,
which needs fear no competition, and desires that
this declaration should be generally known. Official
announcements in a similar spirit were made, it may be
remembered, last year, when scarcity wasapprehended.
Flour in Paris has risen 4fr. within the week. Corn
is rising in all the markets. Borne "people flatter
themselves that the rise is entirely caused by the
manuovres of speculators, but there is in fact not
the Last doubt that the harvest is deficient. The
injury done by the long continuance of unfavourable
weather in the spring and early summer, was irreme-
diable. Much of the new corn is, however, of excel-
lent quality, and in many markets the millers do not
inquire for old, which is partly in consequence,
scarcely seen any where, but there remains but little
of it. Some returns say th►t thrashing oat goes on
bat slowly, and that although the harvest has every
where been got in the new corn is not brought to
market in sufficient quantities. These expressions
are manifestly but forms of speech indicative of a
certain amount of scarcity.
The Salost Public of Lyons, of the Bth, says that
Abd-el-Rader is better.

The Ariel, which left Howe on Friday night with
Print* Napoleon on board, arrived at Cherbourg
yesterday at six in the morning. The Prince is ire-
Yelling incognito.

THE CACKLING OF THE GEESE.

Alsormert adjournment of the long, dull, aimless
debate on the amendments to Mr. Disitaxtfs mo-
tion! It is true that there is no conceivable reason
why the talk should end, any more than why it should
go on; but this tissue of personalities and reorimlna- '1
lions, without any avowal of a definite and statesman-
like policy on the part cf Ministers in possession, orMi-
misters in expectation, is a sad tax on public patience.
The bulk of the speakers last night were the nobodies.
The notabilities may be counted on one's fingers.
Mr. ROEBUCK, though unable to enter into argument
on account of his health, made a statement of his
views, characterised by a width of grasp and dis-
tinctness of purpose desiderated in all the other
speakers. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT 111.111 most inge-

MR. PARK'S BOST OF MB. LATAID.—A bust of the
km. member for Aylesbury, by Mr. Patrick Park, is now on
New at the Metiers. Colnaghi's, in Pall mall East. The
likeness is perfect, but this is the lout merit of the work.
Mr. Park has brought delicate peraption of character and
glowieg imagination to his task, as well as the power of
truthfully reproducing esteroal forms. Mr. Layard Is re-
Pulsated is the act of speaking, and every feature is
instinct with life. One could almost fancy one heard sounds
isauiog from the lips compressed to articulate, yet tremulous
with sensibility; the nostrils have a life like esprossion of
proud indigestion, and the slightly knitted eyebrows and
the carelessly arranged back-atruming hair, complete the
Picture of an orator denouncing impetuously yet with
dignity. The compact solid lineaments of Mr. Loynd have
supplied the artist with an excellent subject, and his own
lulus has enabled him to make the most of them. The
bast will be valued by the friends and admirers of Mr.
"Yard for the fidelity of its portraiture ; but even foe those
who know or we little about hiss, it will paeans an interest
as a pants' end beautiful embodiment of the idea of an
