DUBLIN, Yates 8.
SLIGO ELECTION.

The divisions and jealousies among the liberals
have givea their enemies a temporary triumph in
this borough. The Hoe. John Wynne, formerly
Lord Derby's Under-Seeretary in Ireland, was re-
turned yesterday by a comparatively large majority.
The contest was virtually decided at ten o'clock in
the morning, when Mr. Wynos had a majority of 75
over Mr. Somers; and at half-past .4 p.m,' when the
het account left, that is • few minutes before the
final close of the poll, the numbers were—Wyone,
148 ; Somers, 108 ; majority for Wynne, 40. The
liberal party could command • clear majority of
thirty or forty were they united in their action.
Several liberal electors voted for Mr. Wynne, and
some twenty of the same party remained at home
and refused to vote for either party.

holders by costrihutories or creditors of any elue,
Mastarldurphy read the retort of • eam and the judg-
ment proamoiesd by Baron Alderson in Ragland in a
similar case of the haukroptcy of a joist stork company.
The learned btron's judgment was to the erect that the
court could not emotion proceedings against an individual
shareholder until every other source should be estimated. '

referred, end Veen use all diligence sad industry in the pro-
seeutloa of his demised, end haling used is.l those appli-
ances without success he might then apply to the court for

the soon could not afford him reluf.

It is understood that the Bank of Ireland has
strongly recommended the appointment of Messrs.
LWoohe as the official managers, and that their
suggestion is likely to be attended to; bat com-
plaints are made in various quarters against the Bank
of Ireland itself for having, by its intimate connexion
with the Tipperary Bank op to the last moment,
helped in some measure to deceive the public, who
foolishly identified the Tipperary concern with the
Bank of Ireland, u if it were almost a branch
thereof.

PICCO'S CONCERT.
This musical phenomenon, whose performances on
a little shepherd's pipe, similar to a child's penny
whistle, have recently excited so much surprise and
admiration in Paris, has arrived in London, and had
A concert at the Hanoveroquare Rooms on Saturday
evening. Pima is a young Italian t, the eon of a
Sardinian shepherd, blind from ill1:1117,11but born with
a passionate love of music, and with a genius for the
art which certainly was never before displayed
under such unfavourable circumstances.
Brought up by his humble family (living among
the Apennines) without culture, without instruction,
with no better instrument than a child's toy, he has
contrived, by incessant practice, to make it " dis-
course most eloquent music," and produce tones
whose bnlliancy, variety, and expression now delight
and astonish the most accomplished musicians of the
day. It is only of late that this prodigy, hid among
his native mountains, has been discovered. He was
first of all brought to Milan, where ha played in
erilsobousse, and drew such mends around him
that the Austrian police took the characteristic step
'of turning him out of the city. He was &Reimer&
allowed to return under a regular engagement at the
theatre of La Scala, where he first appeared in
December, 1854. This was the beginning of his
public career. He then made the tour of Italy, play-
ing at Florence, Yogic., Rome, Naples, and other
principal cities; next appeared at the Italian Opera
of Paris; and hes now exhibited hie powers to our
musical public of London.
Mr. Gay, who manages matters for Pioco, conducts
himself judiciously. The concert of Saturday even-
ing was well got up and arranged, not depending
solely on the attraction of the Sardinian Minstrel.
The mistime of the excellent orchestra of the
Orchestral Union, with their able conductor, Mr.
Alfred Mellon, was called in ; and their admirable
performance of Beethoven's symphony in C, and the
overtures to Buy Bios, Oberon, and the Domino Noir.
together with Miss Lasoelles's singing, was sufficient
to make an interesting concert.
Piece played time—first, the " Caste Diva,"
from Norma ; and secondly, the " Carnevel
de Yenisei," with variations. He was dressed
in the garb of an Italian peasant ; had a
pleasing and intelligent countenance, with
something of a melancholy expression ; and
his whole appearance was very prepossessing. His
instrument was so small that while he played it was
almost hid by his fingers, and it was handed about
the room to satisfy the curiosity of the audience. It
is not above three inches long, has only three holes,
and is literally what it has been described to be—a
mere child's toy. Yet with this rude instrument he
finds means to produce a complete chromatic scale of
great extent (three ectavee, as we have been told),
sad of the most perfect intonation; he draws from
it tones sometimes of the most brilliant clear-
ness. and sometimes of exquisite softness and
beauty, ea pure and ethereal as the breathing of the
wind on the strings of the Affiolian harp. But there
are tome imperfections which no skill, however mar-
vellous, can get over. On so small an ineirament
there can be no low notes, and in blowing the notes
its altruism) it is impossible to prevent them from
being somewhat piercing and shrill. His execution
is absolutely astounding; he plays the most rapid
flights, the most complicated chromatic passages,
the mast brilliant arpeggios, with as meek
fluency and certainty as the finest violinist
could do. And lastly, the grace and finish
of his style, and the strength and variety of
his expression, complete the charm of his truly mar-
vellous exhibitions. Of his two performances, the
"Caste Diva" was the more beautiful, the " Carna-
val de Venice" the more amazing. Belie?* melody
was quite vocal—it was rung with a sweetness and
feeling worthy of Orisi. In the variations to the " Car-
naval," he disported himself in the wildest and most
fantastic flights, as Psganini himself used to do. In
short, of all the musical wonders we have ever met
with, this blind Sardinian youth is the most wonder-
ful; or, we ahould rather say, he is not a mere magi-
cal wonder, he is a true musician, tell of the finest
inspirations of his art; and it is impossible to listen
to him without feeling, in the midst of our pleasure
and surprise, regret that his circumstances have pre-
vented the development of what it is not too much to
call his heaven-born genius.
