The attendance was extremely limited, and the business trans-
acted of the most meagre description. 'Vauban, although not
backed, remained extremely firm, the highest offer against him
being 6to 4. Van Amburgh would have been backed, but the
few layers who were present fought shy. and the only tran}
action effected was • bet of 000 to MO. Dragon wee alto much
Inquired after, but no one would make so much as an offer.
Marksman was at 1000 to re, offered. D'llatournel was backed for
L4O at 96 to 1 ; Gipsy King at 2000 to 9); while 1000 to 10 was

The ministers Count Ancirassy and M. Horvath
have been re-elected by their respective consti- ,
tnencies. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House
of the Hungarian Diet the ministry brought in six
bills. The first regulates common affairs in accord-
ance with the report of the committee of 1867.
The five other bills abolish the laws of 1848 relat-
ing to the post of Count Palatine, the ap-
pointment of the members of the cabinet by!
the President of the Ministry, the National
Guard, the indissolubility of the Diet prior
to the passing of the budget, and the incor-
poration of the military frontier province. I
In accordance with these bills the election of Count •
Palatine is to be postponed until the duties of his!
office are defined. The ministers are not to be
appointed by the President of the Ministry, but
by the King. The law relating to the National!
Guard is to be in abeyance until the establishment

The General Council of Vice-Presidents, the
Executive Committee, and the London Committee of
Advice, met on Thursday last at the London offices, to
consider the prospects of this important undertaking, the
Earl Fitzwilliam, president, in the chair. The general
progress of the exhibition was stated by Mr. W. B. Deni-
son, chairman of the executive committee, to be very satis-
factory, and the promises of support from the various private
collections continued to be highly encouraging. bir.Waring,
, the chief commissioner, explained the object of the exhi-
bition in procuring works of the highest artistic excellence,
and impressed upon the meeting the national importance
of such an exhibition, which was not confined to York-
, shire, rich se that county was in works of art, bat; would
represent fully the great treasures of art preserved in the
private galleries of the country. The general interests of the
exhibition as a work of national importance were further
• promoted, and received the warmest macrame, of support
from the following noblemen and gentlemen, who spoke
on the occasion—viz., Earl Stanhope, Lord Faversham,

Pacha was on the point of leaving Retimo to pro-

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

The (concluding concert of the season took place
hest night, when Mr. Costa's Efi was performed, after an
Interval of four years. Eli, originally composed for and
produced at the Birmingham Festival of 1856, is scarcely
es mature a work as its compoeeris mars recent oratorio,
Newnan. In Eli there is a mixture of the Handelian
form of fugue with modem dramatic effects, which is
somewhat anomalous ; whereas in Nrnallian Mr. Costa has
.had less frequent recourse to the old scholastic
style, sad has treated more to his real powers
of picturesque writing, and those highly-wrought
and unconstrained effects which belong to the

stage, lather they to sacred music. Tb. films of
fugue and counterpoint have been so thoroughly
exhausted, especially by that grand old master, Sebastian
Bach, that it is almost impessible now to find novelty of
subject or of treatment. Some of the fugal writing in Ur.
poates 111 i, however, exhibits both power and facility in
this form, together with a thorough knowledge of the best
mestere of that style. Among other instances may be
Mentioned the " Amen," following the chorus, " Blessed
be the Lord;" the chorus, " Hosanna," on a subject com-
mencing somewhat like the air in Mozart's Plgaro. " Vol
she sapete ;" the fugue, "So presents them,"
in the chorus, " Hold not thy peace," containing some
bold and clear choral counterpoint, well contrasted with
elaborate florid orchestral writing. These, with other M-
olasses in Eli, sufficiently attest Mr. Costes practical
skill and deep study of one of the most recondite forma of
Musieel art ; but one which, as already said, has been so
thoroughly exhausted (like Gothic architecture) that scarcely
anything but imitation is now possible. Others of the
eieorasee is Eli are characterised by dramatic power and
Egli:Mum beauty—the litter quality being especially
noticeable in the choruses "The Lord is good," and the
chorus of angels, " No evil shall befall thee"—both full of
graceful flowing melody, happily contrasted with the
triplet harp accompaniment. Eli also contains many
solos of importance, especially those for Elkanah and
Eli, rung last night by Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Santley
with that declamatory power and finished style which
render these artists unrivalled in such music. In the
great war song with chorus, " Philistines, hark !" Mr.
Reeves produced an effect such as only he can produce in
music demanding exceptional powers of voice and elocu-
tionary style. Mr. /Motley, too, in his airs, " Let the
people praise,Thee," "If Thou sbouldst mark," "Although
my house," with ita richly elaborated orcliestrakaocam-
paniment ; and in other recitatives end solos displayed all
those great qualities of voice and style which have gained
him the special position which he now admittedly holds.
The soprano solos were given with great energy by
Madame Rodendorff, who pined great applause in the
declamatory air, " I will extol Thee." The contralto solos
were expressively sung by Madame Sainton-Dolby, who
gave the music of Samuel with much devotional feeling,
especially the morning and evening prayers, " Lord, from
my bed ;" and " This night I lift my heart." The unac-
companied quartet for solo voices, " We bleu you in the
name of the Lord," a Rowing piece of pure vocal writing,
VOA encored ; and the spirited instrumental March of the
Israelites, although not called for again, produced the
same impression as at previous performances. Signor
Foli deserves a special word of recognition for
, his excellent singing of the secondary bass
I solos waived to the Man of God; as also in the
I duet (with Mr. Bentley) "Lord cause thy face." The sub-
ordinate tenor solos were efficiently suniaby Mr. Montan
Smith. The hall was very full, and Mr. Costa was warmly
greeted on his last appearance here for the season, as con.
ductor of his own work,

PESTH, MAT 17.

The great 251. sweepstakes, 30 yards rise, at
30 birds, which commenced on Thursday, was
brought to • conclusion yesterday ; but the shooting
was not up to the average of the first day. The
weather, though finer, was heavier, and the masks
hung so much as to make the asoond barrel, in numerous
easel almost useless. As regards the birds there
could not be two °plaice& They were the very best, and
to this must, in • great measure, be attributed the suc-
cess of the winner, who only practises at the best, attaining •
thereby • nu* advantage over those who frequently
have only the " owl" and • barn-door" quality to operate
upon. Captain Baakerville shot 12 birds out of 15 each
day; and yesterday nine of the dosen were in sums,.
sion. Mr. Berkeley Lucy shot np well, dropping
his birds in • masterly style. Captain Fredricks,
who won the first prize in the I,oooi. sweep-
Makes last year, at Aahburnharn, severely hurt his
shoulder on the first day after having killed his first four
birds, which of course militated against his chance ; and
though Mr. Rudd shot eight birds in succession on Thurs.
day, be mould not manage to get nearer than, le coursing
