MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS;

Mr. Mellon's concert at Covent-garden on Satur-
day evening drew an immense assemblage. Every part of
the house was crowded, and the promenade was full to
overflowing ; but, thanks to the excellence of the arrange-
ments, there was not the slightest inconvenience or dis-
comfort in any part of the house ; and the care, atten-
tion, and civility of every person employed was the subject
of general remark. The concert was of a most attractive
kind. It began with the Overture to Masaniello, Aubcr's
chef d'wuvre in this species of composition—played with a
fire and energy which could not be surpassed. Its per-
formance, indeed, was worthy of one of the finest or-
chestras in the world, under • chief who has no
superior in experience and ability. Mendelssohn's
Wedding March, which came afterwards, familiar as
it now is to the public ear, derived new fresh'
mess and joyousness from the singular brilliancy of its
execution. A principal feature of tho concert was the
operatic selection from the Troratore arranged by Mr.
Mellon—a selection consisting of the finest passages of the
opera, the solo and concerted vocal pieces being played by
some of our most accomplished instrumental performers—
Altssrs. Winterbottom, It. S. Pratten, Barret, J. Winter
bottom, C. Harper, Lazarus, and Reynolds. This is one of
the beet and most successful of Mr. Mellon's operatic ar-
rangements. Its effect was delicious. From the rich, resonant
tones of the exquisitely-played wind-instruments, the effect
of some of the concerted vocal pieces was even greater
than on the stage. Wieniawski was singularly happy in
his solo, which was Pauanini's "Di tanti Palpiti." This
admirable performer not only emulated Paganini himself
in his marvellous tours de fora, but (which was still more
worthy of praise) in the Italian grace and beauty of his
style. The favourite young pianist, Mdlle. Marie Krebs,
played Coenen's fantasia fur the left hand on " The Last
Rose of Summer," a charming composition, of which its
extreme difficulty of execution is its least merit, in a man-
ner which could not have been excelled by the composer
himself.

The singers were Mdlle. Liebhardt, Mme. Patey-Why-
tock, and Mr. Patey, whose vocal pieces were well chosen,
and received with deserved favour.

This evening is to be a " Gounod night," and Thursday
next will be dedicated to Beethoven.

Drama.
ASTLEY'S.

This theatre was opened on Saturday night for
an " extra season " by Miss Sophie Young, with a very in-
volved dramatic version of "Lady Audley's Secret," written
by Mr. John Brougham, and called The Mysteries of A Wks,
Court. Miss Young, like bliss Neilson, has a good per-
sonal appearance, and, like that young lady, has been
trained to imitate the accent of Mdlle. Stella Colas, but
these qualifications are hardly sufficient to enable her to
represent satisfactorily even inch a shallow stage cha-
racter as Lady. Audley. The company is collected from many
sources, and includes Mr. Ryder, Mr. Jordan, and those
admirable dancers and pantomimiats, the Brothers I'ayne,
but it is remarkably weak in ladies. The musical director
is Mr. W. If. Montgomery.

WOOLWICH, AccraT 12.

The fortnight in Sussex was to-day brought to a very sncresatul
termination at Lewes. The last day of the pleasant gathering
was more favourable as regardsthe weather than the opening one,
and there was no falling off in point of attendance. but, en the
contrary, there was a perceptible increase. An excellent day's
sport was yrovidNi by the management, and so carefully were
the handicaps adjusted that the most close and exciting races
were the result. in All there were eight races, and the running
commenced at half .past 12, so as to enable the cud to be got
through in good time. The fields were invariably laic, the
principal race of the day—the Lewes ilandieap—bringing
thirteen competitors to the post. D'Estouned utter defeating
the Duke for the County Cup, was backed for the Derby. Ap-
pended is a return of the day's sport :

VOI:VNTEER MEETINGS.—The prize shooting of
the St. Georges corp. took place on Saturday at the
Wormholt Scrubs ranges, all of which were placed at their
command. There was a very large number of competitors,
and the prizes were arranged in five series.—The 3rd
Middlesex Artillery Volunteers mustered for their
annual official inspection on Saturday evening, at
their drill ground, Brook-street, Kennington-lane,
under the command of Lord Truro (colonel), as-
sisted by Captain-Adjutant Mcllroy and Captain E. A.
Rae. Major Bishop, R.H.A., the official inspector, having
been received with the general salute, the mameuvres
were proceeded with. The ordnance on the ground con-
sisted of four heavy garrison guns, -iz., two 32 and two
24-pounders, two 18-pounders, field-guns, on travelling-
' carriages, and a battery of four 9-pounder light field-
guns. The movements of the corps comprised the ordi-
nary parade drills, the manual and platoon exercises,
and a series of field movements, including the light,
heavy, and garrison gun-drills, which were generally exe-
cuted with steadiness and effect, and, considering that in
their field-gun drills their guns were horsed with un-
trained horses, these manoeuvres, although attended with
the disadvantages indicated, were very creditably per-
formed. At the conclusion of the movements the corps
were addressed by Major Bishop, who said that their in-
spection had been carried out in a very creditable manner.
The Dallam Tower, a fine vessel of iron, 1,500
tons register, and 1,634 tons builder's measurement, was
launched on Saturday, at Messrs. Clover's yard, Birken-
head, for the Lancaster Shipbuilding Company. She is to
aril for Melbourne on the 2nd prox.
A serious accident happened on Saturday on the
road to the Crystal Palace. An excursion van in which
were a number of women was overturned, and the driver
was so much injured that he is not expected to recover.
Several of the passengers also received injuries more or
lass severe.

THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT.

A deputation of the leading joint-stock bankers
waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official
residence in Downing-street, on Saturday. The proceed-
hie, by the right hon. gentleman's orders, were 'Maly
private, and reporters were therefore not admitted. The
following report, however, appears in the Sunday papers :
The members of the deputation included Mr. Alderman
Salomons, M.P.(London and Westminster Bank), chairman
of the committee; Mr.W.Nicol(London aid County Bank);
Mr. Paull, ALP., and Mr. B. B. Ware (National Provincial
Bank of England) ; Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P. (Metropolitan and
Provincial Bank) ; Messrs. A. P. Petrocochino and A. Rain
(Imperial Bank) • Mr. Donald Larnach (London Joint
Stock Bank) ; Mr. P. N. Laurie (Union Bank), Mr. M. H.
Chayter (Alliance Bank) • and Mr. J. N. Ml:Comm, M.P.
(National Bank). Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart., M.P.
(President of the Board of Trade), was present.
Mr. Alderman SALOIIOI4B, M.P., in introducing the de-
putation, spoke of the disastrous effects which the present
system of dismuntroduced upon the commerce of the
City, and read the fopllowing resolution, which had been
agreed upon for presentation to the Chancellor by the re-
presentatives of the London joint-stock banks:—" That,
in the opinion of the meeting, the maintenance for so long
a period of the high rate of interest fixed by the letter of
the late Chanceller of the Exchequer to the directors of
the Bank of England has a tendency to retard the return
of confidence necessary for the interest of commerce at
home and abroad, and it is therefore desirable to seek an
interview with the government, for the purpose of repre-
senting the propriety and policy of modifying that letter
so far as it prescribes a minimum rate of interest at ten
per cent."
The CHANCELLOR of the E_XCHEQUER said he felt the
importance of the subject, and assured the deputation
that the government would take the matter into consi-
deration. He pointed out to the deputation the fact that
even though the bank rate had been at ten per cent., in
accordance with the terms of the letter, it had not had
the effect moat to be desired, of increasing the reserves.
He then defended the course taken by the directors of the
Bank of England, and thought that they had acted for
the best in the interests of all parties concerned.

FATAL COLLISION OA THE LONDON AND
BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

On Saturday night, at about half-past nine
o'clock, a collision occurred between two trains on the
Mid-Sussex portion of this line at a place known as the
Itclingfield Junction, about three miles on the Shoreham
side of Horsham. Oue man lost his life, and several pas-
sengers were severely injured. From inquiries made
from passengers and others it appears that on Saturday
night the 7.40 train from London-bridge to Littlehampton
and Portsmouth was fifteen or twenty minutes behind at
starting. It is a quick train, making comparatively few
stoppages on the journey ; but as it has a third class at-
tached to it, is the last night train to Portsmouth, and is
in muimunication at Littlehampton with the Jersey and
St. Maio screw steamers, it is a favourite train with the
public. Being late at starting, the train was also behind
time when it arrived at Three Bridges, and it was likewise
late on passing Horsham, where, however, it did not stop.
At Three Bridges the train was handed over to a driver
nailed Edward Ray, and to Ode and James, head ant'
' under guard. On reaching the Itchingfield Junction.
which is the point were the Shoreham branch via Steyning
and Henfield enters the Mid-Sussex line, the 7.15 up train
from Brighton and Shoreham had just arrived, and was in
the act of crossing on to the main line. The Steyning
and Henfield branch is a single line, and the guard, whose
name is Burgess, was in the act of exhibiting his staff from
the window to the signalman, to indicate that there was
noshing behind, when his break was run into by the down
Loudon train, the engine of which ran into the other im-
mediately between the tender and the guards' van
nest to the engine. On the locomotive of the up
train, along with the driver, was his fireman, John
Suitt, who was killed on the spot. The drivers of both
eniines escaped comparatively unhurt, whilst Burgess, the
guard, did not sustain a scratch, although his break was
cheered to atoms. The up train happened to be an tin.
nasally light one, whilst the down train was more than
ordinarily heavy. Had the up train contained more pas-
sesgers, or had it been run into nearer the centre, the
casualties must have been alarming in the highest degree.
As it was, the majority of those who suffered were paasen-
gets by the down train, several of whoni have sustains]
fracturer of the leg or other limbs, but up to last night
no other fatal cases had occurred. Immediately on
the catastrophe occurring telegrams were despatched to
Horsham and to Brighton, conveying the intelligence of
the accident. With as little delay as the circumstances
world admit of Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the
ling, got together a gang of navvies and plate-layers, and
proceeded by special engine to the scene of the accident.
' Mr. Anderson, the station master at Horsham, accompa-
eieil by three medical gentlemen, named Thomas, Restock,
and Matthews, also hastened to the spot, and rendered all
th 3 assistance in their power, in which they were effi-
ciently aided by a fourth surgeon from Southwater. On
examination it was found that, a rest many of the car-
riages had been shivered to pieces ; one second class car-
riage was cot completely in two, and a third class car-
riage, which was near the engine on the down train, was
educed to a complete wreck. By dint of great exertions
tile line was cleared and the wounded passengers attended
M. Some, who were able to walk, made their way
to Horsham. Others who were more hurt were conveyed
there by train, and others who were (a route to the Chan-
ael Islands were taken by train to Littlehanipton, and
,laced on board the Hontleur, which was to have been dis-
patched at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, but which,
wing to the accident, delayed her sailing until noon yes-
terday. Several of her passengers are suffering severely
from their injuries. borne attribute the accident to a
:lisregard of signals, but a judicial inquiry, which will
shortly be held will, of course deal with that question.
It is sufficient to say that the line is nearly level where the
accident occurred, and that it is worked by Saaby's patent
signals, which can here be seen from a considerable
dis-
tance. The deceased Snatt, is a native of Eastbourne, is
about thirty years of age, married, and has been in the
employ of the company about seven years. His body now
lies at the Itchingfield Junction awaiting the inquest.

A " MAIDEN" SirriNo.—At the Mansion-house
Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Alderman Carter took his
seat on the bench at the tuned hour, when he was in-
formed by Mr. Oke, the chief clerk, that there was not a
single prisoner in custody, no charge to be heard, and
not a solitary summons to be disposed of. The alderman
inquii ed how long since a similar occurrence took place,
and was informed by Mr. Oke that the same state of
things happened on the 18th February last year. As usual
in such cases the worthy alderman was presented with a
pair of white kid gloves.
THE CoNvlcr COLTHORPE.—Since her conviction
this convict has maintained a quiet demeanour. Her mind
appears, however, to have been much relieved by a com-
munication made to her by the chaplain of the Ipswich
Gaol, that the execution of the sentence of death passed
upon her had been respited until further signification of
her Majesty's pleasure. The prisoner's second child has
been weaned, and will shortly be taken from her.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—A
determined-looking foreign seaman, giving the name of
Frank Allen, who had been sent back to this country
from New York by the American government under the
Extradition Treaty, was brought before the magistrates at
Ilford on Saturday, charged with assaulting and attempting
to murder George Withers, the chief officer of the William
Penn, London, Havre, and New York steamer, on the
high seas. The prisoner was committed to Newgate.
FIRES AT THE WEST-END.—Yesterday (Sunday)
morning, between two and three o'clock, two extensive
fires happened almost simultaneously at the West-end, and
in a very brief period laid in ruins property valued at
several thousands pounds sterling. One fire took place
in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr.
W. Smith,an engineer, whose factory covers a large space
of ground in Wells-street, Oxford-street. The building
contained four tiers of workhops, and extended as far back
as the rear of the houses in Titchfield.street. The machi-
nery, models, &c., in the place were of considerable value.
The police-constable in passing along his beat noticed a
bright glare of light shining over the house top. At first
he was unable to tell whether the fire had broken nut in
Wells-street or Titchfield-street, but he aroused the in-
mates of both thoroughfares, and it was soon after ascer-
tained that the two upper tiers of Mr. Smith's premises
were in a regular sheet of fire, and the flames were leaping
forth from the windows, and attacking with full vigour
the workshops of Mr. Nicholas, carver and gilder, in Titch-
field-street. The Royal Society's escape promptly at-
tended, as well as the engines of the metropolitan brigade,
including about half a dozen land steamers by Shand,
Mason, and Co. The inhabitants of the contiguous houses
commenced removing their furniture and children to a dis-
tant place for protection. Ey great perseverance by the
firemen the flames were extinguished, but not before the
two upper floors of the engineering work/ were destroyed,
and the lower floors severely damaged, and the workshops
of Mr. Nicholas nearly destroyed. Some of the adjoining
houses were also somewhat injured by fire, water, and re-
moval. This fire having been extinguished other engines
were despatched to a second conflagration in the large
premises of Mr. Dretericb, a hatter, carrying on business
at 7, Tottenham-court-road, forming the angle of a double
row of shops in Boxer's-court, a narrow passage leading
into Oxford-street. The premises of Mr. Dreterich were
entirely burned out, and some of the surrounding houses
much damaged. The origin of this fire, like the other, is
unknown. A firs likewise took place at Bayswater, but it
was confined to the destruction of some stabling.
NEW ACT ON COUNTY RATES.—OR Saturday a
new act was issued to remove doubts respecting the assess-
ment of county rates. It seems that under the 15th and
16th Vie., e. 81, and the Union Assessment Committee
Act, 1862, the powers of the justices are interfered with,
and the doubts are removed by the present sat.
