MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.

The pieces by Robert Schumann in the following
programme were given last night for the first time at
these entertainments. _

PART I.

-.
Quarkt, in F, No- 2 Schumann.
Song, The Maiden's Dream." Miss Banks Benedict.
la. Arabeske,
Solos b. Kreisleriana, N 0.21 for Pianoforte
c. Novelletten„No. 2

Schulman.
PART 11.

Sonata, In 0, Op. 96, for pianoferte and violin Beethoven.
Madame Schumann and Herr Joachim.
Song, The Pilgrim's Song," Mita Banks Mendelsiohn.
Quartet, In G minor, Op. 74, No. 9 Haydn.

The " Arabeake " pleased most, from its exquisite
grace and comparative simplicity, the other pieces being
more complex in character and rhythm. Nothing
could be finer than Madame Schumann's perform-
ance of these solos ; the delicacy and refinement with
which she gave the " Arabesku " was as admirable as
the energy and power without effort which she
imparted to the other pieces, the third being a magnificent
display of bravura playing. Excellent also was the read-
ing of Beethoven's great duet sonata on the part of both
pianist and violinist—a finer piece of coneertante playing
✓told scarcely be heard, and its effect on the audience was
• tribute to the powers of the artists, as well as to the
genius of the composer, since this piece is much less cal-
culated to impress • large public than the more demon-
strative " lireutzer " sonata the two works,
perhaps each equally great in its way, standing
in much the same relation as the E fiat and the G major
pianoforte concertos. Mr. Benedict's elegant song
(encored), and Mendelssohn's characteristic " lied " were

both expresaively sung by Miss Banks, and admirably
accompanied by Mr. Benedict ; and Haydn's genial
quartet closed an excellent concert. On Monday next the
programme will include a sestet, for stringed instruments,
by Brahms, one of the moet prominent composers of young
Germany ; and Madame Schumann will again be the
pianist. Judging from the reception accorded to this
lady by the crowded audience of last night, her position
hers is now assured beyond the reach of any of the
millings of pseudo criticism.

Drama.

DRURY-LANE.

Colman's comedy of the Jealous Wife, with Mr.
Plielpa and Mrs. Hermann Vesin as Mr. and Mrs. Oakley,
was revived at this house last night, and will only be per-
formed during the present week. Master Percy Roselle,
the best of " infant prodigies," will have a special morning
performance for his benefit next Saturday, on which ma-
siva he will appear in the time•honoured character of
" Utile Pickle," and as "Number Nip" in the still popular
pantomime.
London, England, 1867-02-19

THE CATTLE PLAMTE.

EYKYN asked wh►t measures had been adopted
to prevent the importation from Holland and l WI-many of
the r..rcaaes of animal infected by the cattlo plague !
Mr. CORRY replied that no such amount of danger
oxide I as to WitrAllt the Privy Council hi prohibiting the
icupo. cation of meat.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Times comments upon the report to parlia-
ment of the Lancaster commissioners. These gentle-
men, it will be seen elsewhere, do not hesitate to
fix the guilt of enormous corruption, as far as the
liberal party is concerned, on the two unsuccessful
candidates themselves, Mews. Fenwick and Schneider.
They add that, " with regard to the latter, at least,
deliberate and long-formed determination had existed of
carrying his election at any coat, by corrupt means, and in
defiance of the law." Of both of them the commissioners
say. " The very gold destined to be used in bribing in
several instances passed through these gentlemen's hands
. . . thus conclusively establishing their personal
knowledge of and privity to the manner in which their
election was being conducted." Mr. Lawrence they do
not acquit of blame, but they do not find that be was
cognisant of the acts of bribery committed in his name.
On Mr. H. T. Wilson rests the guilt of the corruption on
the conservative side.

The Hembl says the latent rising of Irish rebels seems
even more ridiculous than Mr. Smith O'Brien's campaign
of the cabbage garden. It now remains to remove the
causes of that ill feeling to the English government which
displays itself chronically by outbreaks such as this. It is
for us to conciliate the Irish cottier by removing those
grievances connected with his land tenure which have so
long rankled in his thoughts, and given a handle to sedi-
tious agitators and treasonable conspiracies.
The peculiarity of the Fenian movement is, the Times
says, its hopelessness. If Fenian, will rise as they rose
at Cahirciveen, of what folly may they not be found
capable It is true that they cannot endanger the Ruth°.
rity of the Crown, but it is equally true they can create
disturbances awl postpone the return of that tranquillity
on which the hopes of Ireland depend. The suspension
of the Habeas Corpus Act is formidable to the enemies of
law and order, and must be maintained for the protection
of public peace.

THE PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.

The gross public income of the United Kingdom
in the year ended the 30th September last was
58,450,142/. ss. 3d. The total ordinary expendi-
ture was 2,253,090/. 17s. 10d. less ; but, as
400,000/. was spent for fortifications, the excess of
income over expenditure during the year is reduced
to 1,853,090/. 17s. 10d. The balances in the ex-
chequer on the 30th September last amounted to
3,790,532/. 19s. 2d.

MILITARY CORPORAL PI-NIsHMENT.

Mr. OTWAY wished to ask whether the utternent with
reference to the de tth of Robert Synies, a :•• into in the
7lth Regiment, on whom corporal punishment had been
indict .l, which be had seen in the newgpapers, was true.
From thtt statement it appeared that SylllC4 w ti tried by
court-martial and sentenced to 50 lashes and 34:5 days' im-
prisonment, and that shortly after the dogging he
was s: at to the military hospital at Limerick, and
there died. On the inquest two army doctors and
one civilian were examined, am* the evidence
of the latter gentleman was to the effect that
death was caused by an irritant fever induced by flogging.
The jury found that he died from congestion of the brain,
arising, iron, fever. He wished to ask whether these were
facts, and whether the dogging was administered in tine
usual manner.

SOUTHWARK.

Edward Wood anTl.irs7;liisimlefon, firemen in the
employ of the South Eastern Railway Company, were
charged on remand with throwing Mary Ann Grant, •
respectable married woman into two horse troughs in the
Old Kent-road, to the imminent danger of her life, under
sircumetancea already reported in our columns.
Mr. Woulrych said that be had carefully investigated
the whole of the circumstances connected with this out-
rage, and could come to no other conclusion than that the
proaecutrix was mistaken in the perpetrators of it, conse-
quently they must be discharged. He, however, main-
tained that whoever was guilty of theoffencewere cowardly
and unmanly ruffians in treating an unprotected female in
each • brutal manner.

SPECIAL Ju SOUS. —Mr. Hopkinson, whose protest
from his place in the jury-box was reported in yesterday's
papers, invites gentlemen who may feel dissatisfied
with the working of the system under which they are at
present summoned for this service to communicate with
him at the Corn Exchange. Mark-lane, in order to the
formation of a provisional committee which may take such
further measures to obtain relief as Audi appear advisable.
The Lonlehief Justice has said from the bench that " what
is complained of cannot altogether be remedied under the
present law ;" and "if any committee of jurymen, or any
individual juryman, would make any practical suggestion
to Mr. Erie, he (the Lord Chief Justice) would take care
to forward it to the proper authorities."

without unduly distnroing the balance of political power,
should freely extend th, elective franchi,e, that house now
impreseed its hope that prompt legislation might he foun'led
on the two principles dechwed, and that definite prop°.
aitions for that purpose, as well as for the re-distribution
of meats, would be presented by her hiajvity's government
with all convenient speed. (Hear, hear.

themselves to look with complacency on the wholesale
homicides in Jamaica aro seizing the present occasion
when the public mind is justly irritated by the outbreak
of Yenianism to represent British law as little better
than a snare fur the brave soldier who exposes
his life for his country, the lAtiles News expresses
its regret at finding the Cul iiiii ander-in-Chief employing in
the House of Lords language which, contrary we may be
sure to his intention, is calculated to encourage this
erroneous view of the position of British officers placed in
responsible commands. The won's of his royal highness

THE REFORM BILL

Mr. SCLATER.BOOTH asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether, if the house should agree to the 4th pro-
poaed resolution on the subject of reform, via., " that the
occupation franchise shall be based on the principle of
ratiug,- the carrying out of that resolution would, cod the
view of the government, be necessarily contingent on the
pawning of the bill "for promoting uniformity of assess-
ment in England and Wales ;" and whether, if the house
should acre! to the Lith resolution, praying her Majesty
to aliment a boundary commission, the passing of a re-
form 'hill used, on that account, be delayed beyond the
periodof the present session of parliament.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The paw-
ing of the Reform Bill which we hope to introduce, will
not depend on the other measures referred to ; but I trust
I may he permitted to expires a hope that when the Re-
form Bill has passed. hon. gentlemen will not deny
the devotion of their time to pass the two other mea-
sures. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BAINICi asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether, in the statement which he had promised to make,
on going into committee on the representation of the
people. on Monday, the 25th instant, he would specify the
propol, al amount of the county and borough franchisee;
and whether he could, for the convenience of the house,
give that information on an earlier day.
The CHANCELIA)R of the EXCHEQUER—It is the
hope of her Majesty's government that they may intro-
duce an i pass a reform bill adequate to the national neces-
sities, which will reproduce concordamong classes, and which
will permit gentlemen, whatever theirpol Weal opinions and
to whatever party they may belong, if they sit upon this
bench, to have the opportunity of proposing those mea-
sures of improvement which the country requires, and
which, until this question is settled, I fear will not be
introduced. But with these views and with that great
respe:ailWity I trust the house will not deem it unreason-
able or in any degree presumptuous on our part if we wish
at least to have the privilege of disposing of the course of
paliiic business in that manner which we may deem most
inducive to the end we desire to accomplish. Under
these circumstances, I think it would be most inexpedient
to deviate from the course which on the part of her Ma-
jesty's government I hive indicated we are willing to take.
Mere are many reasons which induce me to believe that
were we to alter it, we might endanger that
chance, which I confess I view in a sanguine spirit
from the information I have received from various
quarter* of the house, of an anxiety to come to some
solution of this question. I have no desire for any un-
necessary delay ; but as it is my ainoere conviction that
the course I have indicated is best calculated to accom-
plish the end we all desire, I hope the hon. gentleman will
not press me to change that course, and I shall be pre.
pared on Monday to offer those explanations which are
due to the house. (Hear, hear.)

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The Examiner remarks that the attempt to regu-
late the use of the parks by the provisions of a new penal
statute, has proved one of ill-fortune to the ministry. Mr.
Walpole having failed, " Oxford's Own" was considered to
be the right sort of man for the place ; for he had voted
wrong with his party upon every question, religious and
political. Mr. Hardy had often said in private that there
could be no greater calumny than to impute to the govern-
ment designs of household suffrage ; but one evening,
while he was at dinner, the master spirit of the ministry
revealed what bad always been, he said, his real purpose
with reference to reform ; and when Mr. Hardy returned

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA.

RIDE, FRIDAY EVEXINO.

The business of the day was a race for the Com-
modore's Cup. The hour named for the rendezvous was
8 o'clock, an hour later than that being appointed for start-
ing, and as the course was round the Isle of Wight, the
early commencement was deemed of importance, and to
avoid all unnecessary delay it was arranged that all the
vessels should start underweigh. The entries for this race
were as follow, :
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Volante
31asina O6 Mr. J. C. Merle..
Witchcraft
Condor 133 Mr. W. Ewing.
Prima Donna 36 Captain anderion.
None 7B Mr. L Boulcher.
Diadem l2O Mr. Y. & Stanley.
Pantomime 132 Colonel Markham.
Cumbria
Egeria
Selene
Menai
Hirondelle
Zonal,. lO6 Mr. T. R. Hoare.
At nine o'clock precisely the starting gun was fired, the
wind being westerly, with a flood tide. The Egeria was
the first to stand away, well to the westward, and took
the lead. The Witchcraft was well up, but could hardly
be said to take the second place. The Pantomime was
close astern. The rest were in a cluster, and no time could
be taken of any material account between them. When
off Yarmouth the Egeria was still the leading vessel. This
position she appears to have maintained, for when off
Ventuor, at a quarter-past two, she was still the leading
vessel, the Condor being second, the Selene third, the
fourth could not be made out, and the fifth the Panto-
mime. _ _

The position of the leading vessels was not altered in
the subsequent part of the course, the Egeria still kini
the lead, and after a number d mishaps on the of
the contending vessels she anoesetled in gallantly leading
all the rest. The time of arrival at the conclusion of the
race was as follows :

Farris 4 19 0

Thus Mr. /dalholland became entitled to the Commo-
dore's Prise.

With regard to Mr. Broedwood'e Prise to the Volento
yesterday, by the order of arrival, Mr. H. Mandalay, as
the owner of the Vohate, wth certainly entitled to it, but
a protest was put in against it by Mr. Boulcher, the
owner of the Moue, on the ground that the Volmam did
not go round the proper mark boat, or went round on a
different tack than prescribed by the regulations. The
prise was therefore awarded to Mr. Boulther, but it is
said that he will not ►crept it.
To-morrow there will be a number of boat races, pole
dances, and other amusements.

That the old Peninsular and Oriental Company have of
late been driving their steamers well is no empty lauda-
tion every one must have seen during the last few months.
Rut that no one may have the opportunity of attributing
our notice of this deserving quality of the old company to
the influence of old associations, one or two indimputahle
facts may be put forward. To take only the last three
moothateeven mails), s tbo result ? At II a.m. on

follows : "It is neither to Paris nor Vienna
but to Berlin that counsels of moderat'on
must be addressed. At Berlin designs are on
foot which are dangerous to the peace of the world,
and ought to be restrained. Let us ask one thing
only, namely:that the treaty of Prague be re-
spected. If this treaty is trampled under foot, and
new acts of aggression lead to new complications,
who will be condemnable I—the one who demands

been directed towards the formation of an organised,
well-equipped, and enthusiastic army, in order to
be in readiness when the moment should arrive
for reoonquering the territory which Denmark had
lost. The King looked very serious during the
delivery of this speech, and later in the evening
his Majesty had half an hour's conversation with,
the Minister of War.

It is stated in political circles that a marriage
has been arranged between the Crown Prince of

THE POLICE COURT&

][ANSION•HOUSK

Two respectable looking young men, named Datid Henry
Poust and Alfred Paintrr, were brought up for final
examination upon the charge, as against the former, of
having stolen a quantity of ancient gold and silver coins,
value 451., the property of Mr. Helmer, a solicitor in
Philpot-lane ; and the latter with receiving the property,
knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for Painter.
The prisoner Doust was in the minim of the prosecutor
as clerk, and he took advantage of the opportunity this
position afforded him of abstracting the 00111 S in question
from the depository where they were kept. He then
banded the stolen property to the other lad, Painter, who
tried to sell them at the shop of • dealer in old coins
and curiosities, in the Old Kent-road, but that gentle-
man suspecting something was wrong, very properly
gave information to the police, and that led to the appre-
hension of the prisoners. Through the exertions of
Inspector White, of the City police, the greater portion of
the stolen coins, which were of considerable antiquarian
value, were recovered.
A request was made on behalf of the prosecutor that
the one might be dealt with summarily on account of the
previous good character of both the prisoners.
Sir It. Carden, however, said that the charge was one of
too serious • nature for him to deal with summarily, and,
indeed, he had no legal power to do so, and he committed
both prisoners to the Central Criminal Court for trial.

TRAMPS.
Capiain John Orris, the master of the ship Copes, of
Sunderland, was brought before Mr. Paget for the third
time, charged with attempting to murder Henry Crick-
more, cook and steward of the same vessel.
Mr. James, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for
Cricketers, and Mr. Wilford, solicitor, defended the
prisoner.
Additional evidence having been given,
Mr. Paget ordered that ell the as, of the Copes who
were in &Meadows should be called into the room to hear
his reasons for dismissing this are. The prisoner wee
charged with one of the most serious mimes known to the
law—ea attempt to murder a mem= named Otioltmore
