some days in putti,g the batteries at Newhaven, East
Blatchington, and Seaford into repair ; and one of the re.
venue mitten has barn misplayed in bringing down guns
from Woolwich. At Newhaven one gun, a 46-pounder, has
arrived ; and at Blatchington three 36 pounders have been
landed. The latter are daily exercised by the coast guard
under the direction of a master gunner in target practice.
At Seaford one gun has also been landed, and more will
shortly be brought to each plac The guns are so heavy
that a cutter can only carry one at a time.

ROYAL ITALIAN OTERA.—There was another granond I
concert is Covent-garden Theatre esterday morning, c- 1
sating of Rosaini's '' &abet Mater" and a miscellaneous se
lection cf vocal and instrumental music. The " Stabat
Mater " was performed in the same manner as at the previous
concert. Of the miscellaneous selection the principal feature
was Beethoven's pianoforte concerto in E flat, performed by
M. Charles Halle, one of the distinguished artists who have
lately arrived in England. He is a pianist of the very high-
est class, and gave the finest interpretation of Beethoven's
noble work (net excepting Thalberg's) that we have ever
beard. His volume of tone wu immense, and his touch was
so clear and articulate, that even in the softest piaages every
note was distinctly audible throughout the theatre. lie
seemed penetrated with the author's meaning, to every shade
of which be gave the tallest and most beautiful espression.
He was most warmly applauded; we have seldom, indeed,
seen an elaborate instrumental performance produce such an
effect on a large popular audience. Madame Pauline V iartiot
Garcia sang an au of Handel with great beauty ; and two of
Chopin's mazurkas, arranged for the voice and d
pre accompantty,
ied
by herself on the pianoforte. They were
quaint a

and would be effective in the desiring-room, e not cal-
culated for public performance. The remainder of the cow
