MUSIC.

MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.
The ooncert of last evening derived spatial
Interest from the reappearance of Miss Arabella Goddard,
who had not been heard In Latina foe a considerable time.
She drew an andiemoe more than usually crowded, and her
performer's. ware the chief features o the concert. She
played Diessit's boons sonata, the " Pins Ultra ;" sad
Weber's sonata for the pianoforte and clarinet, In which alto
was oxasagenied by Mr. Lazarus. It is well known that
we owe to her the revival of the rhof d'assvre of one of the
greatest muter. of the lad century ; • work sufficient to
show ns how little real progress the school of the pianoforte
has madesince the time of its production. Beethoven ekes
has excelled this commingle of • maiden whom very nacos,
till of late, was rapidly sinking into oblivion.
We have 'heady exhausted our language of eulogy ig
attempting" to describe this sonata and Mine Goddard's exe•
cation of it, and therefore we will only my that the fair
Pianist ,never performed it more exquisitely, nor with •
greater dna upon the audience, by whom she was most
sathneisatkelly applauded. The concert began with
Mozart's Quintet in A for stringed instruments and clarinet,
a niece known to amateurs chiefly in the fora of a piano-
forte quartet, as arrangement whereby many of Its betuthe

The room was tolerably well attended, and we were melds&
to compile a long list of quassia's, but the betting, la,
a material sense, could not be mid to be of a very Important
I nature. Indeed in the early part of the attune= scarcely
any speculation came ender obeervatien, it wee not until
quite late that activity prevailed. In themeßprlog Handicaps
little alteration was noticeable, and there were no features
calling for remnant, the quotations being as nearly as possi-
ble identical with those of last week. except the rapid rise in
the market of Curlew and Tommy Noble fur the approaching
Lincoln Handicap, and Promised Land's advance for the
Chester Cup. For the Two Thousand, 7 to 2 was offered
spinet the Whiard, but his bitted@ held out for 4to 1. Lu-
ladles was supported three or,four times at 6 to 1, but those
odds were currently offered at the close, although at a point
higher he would have been hacked for moms money. Buo-
caoser and Umpire made decided retrogressions ; at 8 to 1
the former wee not quite friendless, but offers of 10 to 1 and
even 12 to 1 in the early part of the afternoon, could not
tempt the patinas of the American stable to as
investment. For the Derby, the Premier's colt, Milestone,

sapported at that figure. Thormanby, who last
evinced some rams of weakness, receded to-day to 12 to

remarkable movements, however, were those which affected
Buccaneer and Nutbourne, and the demonstratioas mantra
them caused some sensation. Buccaneer retreated to 14 to I,•

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 7.

Tar. Goverrment have at length announced their
plan fur organising the Volunteer force. Some delay
wu prob.bly unavoidable ; but last night the
UNDER SECRETARY for WAR, in replying to a ques-
tion put by Lord Vieuter, took an opportunity of
explaining the Government scheme. In the first plaos
it seems that. according to the Wu -office, the number
of Volunteers amounts to between 60,000 and 60,000
men, and that they are daily increasing. It was
stated the other day that the numbers oo the let of
January amounted to more than 70,000; but we
should not be surprised to find that the Government
estimate is nearer the fact than that of Mr.DODLET
BAXTER. However, it is obvious that in either PM
the force is a very ooneidersble addition to the de-
fensive resources of the country ; and it is quite
large enough to demand a special organisatioc I
Moreover, it is satisfactory totfind that the Vole's-
teen have not cootented themselves with debating
about the colours of the uniform, or strutting about
the streets in their new clothes. They have applied
themselves with diligence to the drill ; and the
UNDIR-SECRITART for WAR mune the country
that the Vo winner corps have made surprising pro-
ver. and will to • short time, according to the
opinion of competent military men, form very ell-
meet troops. It is only necessary to go and see
some of the corps witch dri,i in London, and to
observe the diligence and assiduity with which their
members attend to it, to be coavineed that the
opinion of the military men me no idle compliment.
Indeed, it is abundantly clear that there is much
more of the military spirit about our population than
I. at first apparent. Young men join the VoinDICIIII
from • venom, love of soldiering, and there can be little
doubt that with judicious care the Volunteer corps
may become • permanent institution. Much of the
superiority of our Army deposits upon the fact that
it is recruited by voluntary enlistment. No man
becomes a soldier unless he has • genius for it. And
the same principle of voluntary service is applied
still more distinctly in filling the ranks of the Hale
Vol un tears.

True important question raised by Lord VIVIAN
Islet night concerned the amount of pecuniary assist-
ance which ought to be supplied by the Government.
Only a few days sin.," a e ventured to caution the MI-
"IMES of WAR against spending any considerable
sum of public money on the Volunteer. The force is
essentially a free-will offenog in its character, and it
is clear that the larpr number enrolled are dented
from the upper and middle cisme. They are just
the per or who can afford to pay fat themselves.
The Government therefore very wisely refuse to
supply the Volunteers with clothing, or with butts
and practising ground'. Nor do they profess to pay
daily wegee to the oluuteer artillerymen. Indeed,
if such aid were afforded, it te difficult to pee in what
respect the r..luntters would C ffer from this regular
Militia, tact pt in the time during which the latter
require to serve. For consider the assistance which
the Government do propos" to afford. At present
every Volunteer r.thman is supplied with his arms
and hi* eaimuniion : the MOW Is done for the artil-
lery. Besides this, it is proposed that the various
companies throughout the connicy shall be instructed
by drill eery/sets, and fur this purpose a plan
is in contemplation by which soldiers who have
left the Army may be used se instructora.
This is evidently a vital point. The expense of
paying a sergeant for every group of riflemen le,
very considerable, especially is those *entry
districts where the towns and villages are smell
and scattered. But the eingeant's drill is the
foundation of the whole system, sod unless three
teachers can be made to penetrate to the remotest
districts, the ride movement must be wetland to the
larger and more populous pieces. TOO Government,

therefor*, will am most judicionsiy 1.• man
drill sergeants. The next thing is ti °onset

mattered companies ot fractions of tomplales into
battalions. This will be • considerable difficulty.
For where men are employed in business it is no
easy matter to find a time at which all shall
be disengaged. At the same time it is es-
sential that the twrety or thirty or even ten from
each village 'balk be able to unite themselves
and to act together. Volunteers to be of any are as
a defensive form most act in • body, and be ready to
obey the command of one man. Now, es we under-
stand the government plan, there will be an In-
spector to define the limits within which the battalion
is to recruit its companies ; and this Inspector is to
be assisted by six Assistant-Inspectore. In addition
to these, each battalion is to be furnished by the
Government with a paid adjutant—a regular military
man. If the various companies supply themselves
with officers oat of their own ranks, they will do
as much as can be expected of them. The
seesseity of appointing a military man se
adjutant- to commend in fact the battalion—
is a matter of obvious necessity. And the only
thing the public need insist upon is, that this adju-
tant shall be a capable officer. No doubt hosts of
►alf-pay officers will gladly accept the post. With
regard to the inspection, the wisdom of this part of
the scheme is somewhat doubtful. Colonel'
It'Muatio, the Inspector-General, is an able man,
and in command of the Military Train showed
eminent ability. But what shall we my of his six
assistants ? Inspectors is an ominous term.
The word stinks in the nostrils of the
British public. Ave there not enough of
Inspectors already !) There is one for the
lafeatry, one for the Cavalry, one for the Guards.
la sheet, they exhaust the nomenclature of the
Staff. Some are chief, some are assistants, some
are deputies, some are assistant deputies. If there
is one matter in which the British constitution shows
a plethora it is in the matter of inspectors. And
one of the reforms most needed in the Staff of the
British army is to reduce this excess. Mr. SIDNIT
HERBILAT will have difficulty enough to maintain
the Staff as it is without adding six or seven more to
its ranks. In every other respect it seems that in
this Volunteer movement the Government have acted
with prudence and economy. The question is, whe-
ther these six Assistant-luspectois might not be dia-
pulsed with, leaving their duties—if indeed they-
will have any—to be performed by some other
functionaries.

NOBLE speakers in the House of Lords ars very sen-
sitive to the scandal which they conceive is brought
on the government by the continuance of disorder at
Bt. George's-in-the-East. Lord Blocclistes piety
is shocked by the desecration of that church, but we
Wes from his speech what we should have valued
more than his sentiment --- his opinion of the
relation of the law to the case. We should
have been glad if his lordship had explained
why the Imperial Government should be held
responsible for the state of that perish, and whether
it would have been equally bound to interfere if the
riots had taken place in a church at Manchester or
Leeds, or whether there is one rule for town and
another for the country. Tilers is a general law
applicable to these parochial derangements; if it is
not sufficient, let it be amended.

A most extraordinary doctrine was put forward by
both the noble Lode who spoke lint night on this
subject—the doctrine that the putting down of this
nuisance has nothing whatever to do with the causes
oat of which the disturbesose arose. That is to say,
the government is to allot its eyes and use force.
This is the Austrian system, and will not do for
England. Noble lords who are petulantly emphatic
about " this nuisance—this disgraceful nuisance,"
should recollect how many years the worshippers of
St. George'rein-the.East have had to endure, without
the least hope of aid from their lordships, the nuisance
of having Popery flaunted in their faces at
their own parish church, or of having to
wander elsewhere in search of a Protestant service-
To refuse to look at the causes of the disorders in
that parish is to retries to understand the remedy.
A strange mob is at St. George..., bewares the proper
congregation is absent. Bring beck the coagregatics
—and nothing is easier -and the mob will slink
away. No other plan will be efficacious even to the
paltry end of " putting down scandal."
The Secretary to the Memorial to Sir Gamma
C. on this subject, calls our attention to the
fact that that document is not an expression of party
opinion, but has been signed by persons "of all mike
" and VaTiONS religions views, amongst wham are
" noblemen, dignitaries of the church, members of
" parliament, Queen's counsel, &c., &c." We had
already remarked the fact. In the list of
the general committee forwarded to tit, we
had been struck with the aide range of
the siguaturee. There is the British plenipoten-
tiary at Hanover ; • Professor of Arabic at Cam-
bridge ; • member of the Guards' Club; a canon of
Jesus College, Oxford; the inevitable vicars of
Frome and East Brent; and a crowd of gentle-
men living at Brighton, Bognor, or Belgravia.
One thing only is wanting—a strong representation
of St. George's-in-the-East.

This is • ease for non-intervention. Mr. Knto
must settle matters with has parishioners, under the
protection of the law of the land. We infer from
what fell from Sir Gsonos Lawn; last night, that
the rev. genUet•aa must not look for any extraordi-
nary assistance hem the Home-office. bir Gtoaoit
Loris said :—" The Howe is aware that the law
" dose not arm the patios with the power of sum-
" mart' interference in case of a noisy disturbance, or
" of an interruption of the silence, order, and quiet
"of public worship. I have taken the steps which
" appear to me necessary for maintaining the public
" peace. The steps which I hive taken, and which
" have been taken by Sir R. MAT:4E, the Chief
6d

of Police, appeared to me adequate
" for the purpose of preeerviag public order and pre-
" venting broaches of the peace. Beyond that lam
" not prepared to go, and I can only express my
regret that the mode of performing divine worship
" which the Incumbent of St. George's-in-the-East
" thinks at to adopt should be anon u to create
" there disturbances." (Cheers.)
We hold this to be a wise resolution, for of all
ways of attempting to promote the public peace the
most hopeless and foolish would be to employ the
public force to maintain detested forma of worship
against the will of the parishioners.
