ST. MARTIN'S HALL,

The first publicperformanoe----- in this new =Nic-
kell took place last night, when much interest was
excited by the production of a new festival anthem,
composed by Mr. Henry Leslie. To follow the order
of the programme, however, we must first speak of
Mendelssohn's sacred caststs, " Lauds Sion," with
which the selection commenced. This great work has
been already noticed by us, and we need only now
seeped our satisfaction with the performance of
last night. The chorus deserves praise for steadi-
ness and truth of intonation, *idle the orchestra,
under the able leadership of Mr. Willy, gave
every effect to the delicacies of Mendelssohn's elabo-
rate instrumentation. The solos were well delivered
by Miss Birch and Mr. Benson. A fine old air from
an oratorio by Haase, was chastely sung by Miss
Dolby; after which was given the unaccompanied
motett for bass solo and chores, " Methinks I hear
the full celestial choir," one of the best compositions
of Dr. Crotch. Mr. Seguin sustained the solo part in
his usual careful style, and was well supported by the
chorus, saving a little occasional timidity in taking
up points, unguided by say accompaniment. A
rather feeble sir from Handel 's " Jeptha," agreeably
sung, however, by Miss Rainforth, led to one of the
chief features of the evening—Mr. Leslie's anthem,
which concluded the first part.
This is a work of ambitions design ; being con-
stricted on the grand scale adopted by Mendelssohn
is his Psalms, "As puts the Hart," " Whim Israel,"
&e. In like manner Mr. Leslie's work is scored for
greed orchestra and chorus ; midis divided into many
movements, some being for solo voices. It demailds
no ordinary power to wield such materials
with sumo, even in secular composition, but
when the composer takes his text from
the highest of all sources. he must possess something
beyond the mere mechanism of his art. There is no
test so severe for a ecmposer u sacred composition.
Mediocrity cannot pass muter here—nothing short
of an oruanal and sublime imagination can produce
skim& of any permanence. We shall defer all cri-
Wel examination of Mr. Leslie's anthem, until it
comes before us in a published feels. Meanwhile
we may bear testimony to the talent and 'tithing's=
of the composer; and specify, as the move-
meats which pleased us moat in the performance, a
tenor, solo, and dust, for soprano and tenor.

RAILWAYS.

Tars DAY, Two o'ci.ocz.
Railway shares do not participate in the improved
feeling which is observable in the English etook mar-
ket today. The market is decidedly flat, with a
preponderance of sellers, and the prices of many de-
scriptions are quoted at a decline from yesterday's
rates, especially of Caledonians, Great Westerns,
Midlands, Great Northerns, and North Midland,. In
no case, however, is the decline to any important
extent. Oxford and Worcester abates are better

to-day. London and North Western stock has re-
ceded from 118 to 1171; Midlands to 411; York and
North Midlands to 221.

eat into pretended dioceses of his own deeraar, a country
wteich has been ruled by Its own bishops from the earliest

Tile mow deplorable work fetishists affects to transfer the
episoopal charge of tbe comity of fiemsneet from my hands to

Such an ant calls fur • prompt and de:irive course of eon-

In such a course I recommend you to proceed without

I exhort you to take care, that aa far as in you lies, your

Having thus roused the attention of the whole protestant

Crow's, in pursuit of game, on Thursday last. It appeared
that some scares had been seen in the hedge of a field occu-
pied by Mr. Bagshaw, ani a constant watch was kept up, till,
en Thursday last, the detendant was seen to come to the
hedge, and look at one of the snares, which bad nothing in
it ; he then passed on to the next, which held a rabbit ; sad
was in the act of taking it out of the wire when William
Barker, butler to Major Clowns, got out of his hiding place,
and said, " I am afraid that won't he in time for your din-
ner ;" to which defendant replied, " I don't think it will,"
and said he was glad he had come to be rabbit, as he could
well afford to pay for it. The attorney for the accused sub-
mitted that there was no rate for adjudication, and that as
the hedge divided the two ti-ltd, occupied by the d: fondant
and Mr. Bogahaw, the defendant hail never been off his own
land. The act of parliament shoald be carried out in its
proper spirit, and not forced in this unseemly and trumpery
manner, It would indeed be sharp work it gams-keepers and
game-protervers were allowed to construe such an act as this

The shareholders who side with the committee of investiga-
tion seem resolved to eject at least a portion of the pre-
sent board, while the directors, on the other hand, are using
all the means in their power to fortify their position. A
strong and open canvass is going on for prattles, which pro-
ceeding is strongly cnnedeonnoll by the opponents of the di-
rectory, who urge the importance of all the ehsreholders
attending personally to hear the case which they intend to
make against the board. The half-yearly accounts are just,
ipatie4l, and the revenue somunt for the half year ending
the 30th of June shows the tollawinor results: Receipts,

INDUCTION OF TUN Ray. Ms. GonitAx.—Tbo
Plymouth Animal gives the following gossip relative to the
induction of Mr. Gorham ; "At two in the afternoon of
the same day, Mr. Gorham came to the vicarage house of
Brampton Bpeke, attended by the Rev. W. H. 'toward,
vicar of 84 Thomas the Apo:4le, Rater, the Rev. J. W.
Burroueh, vicar of Taos., and Montague B. Here, Req.,
of Barley.house, Easter, together wtth snore of the members
of their respective fernlike. Tie curate, the Rev. Birchen
Backe's, bad left the vicarage fur an afternoon drive, and I
had instructed the servant to say that the he; a of the church
were looked up. Neither Mr. (label's our his friends were
invited into the vicarage); and they were obliged to amuse
themselves outside the house for nearly two hours and a half,
till a shower of rain same, and Mr. Furst:lon, one of the prin-
cipal inhabitants, requested them to take refuge in his hemp
tiful villa. At length, about hsltpast four, Mr. Boothia
returned, and gave the new visa a cold reception, admitting
that he bad been hourly expiating him, though he had not
received a n dice of the induction. He said it was his ' usual
habit' to look up the keys. Mr. Gorham assured him that
he bad taboo pain, to apprize the minister of his intention
to he inducted that day, but that, not knowing of Mr.
Haecken's appoi..tatent in July, 1849, be had addressed hie
biter to the curate whom he found placed there by the
bbh sp when he was presented to the living in 1847. TWA
aplenatims elicited no nanny from the ill-advised curate,
who, however, delivered the keys, but abstained from &Bead-
ing at the church. This delay had given time to the village",
to collect to witness the cs moony; after which the church
was idled, is show respect to the new vicar, while the man-
date was befog endommed, and Its execution walled. Oa his
quitdag She shuck a many peal was meg.*

MALTA AND THE lONIAN MEE.

Oar advices from Malta some down to the 25th ult.
Amounts from Cephalonia state the cholera is mill
raging there ; from the 11th to the 18th there had
been 449 new MINN and 245 deaths, among a popu-
lation of 70,000. Messrs. Lean and M'lArty, of
Liverpool, are about to run a steamer between Patna,
Malta, and Trieste.
Her Majesty's steamer Antelope ran on a bank in
the Dardanelks, on the 15th, off Point Fiume, and
remained there for two days, until Lloyd's stamen
aims to her relief, and towed her off. She is slightly
damaged. The Bellerophon arrived at Gibraltar in
twenty-six days from Malta, during which the lost
her muter and 49 men by cholera. Cholera has re-
appeared at Alexandria.
"Oar currant crop (says a letter from Patna) has
been in a very awkward state throughout the season,
in consequence of the growers in the lonian Islands
refusing to sell their fruit, by asking most exorbitant
prices. The rake bare gone up for Pathan and Vass
tins quality, from 3lidols. to 36 dole., equal to 22a.
per cwt. f.0.b., but little good fruit now remains un-
sold. Thrice is a large deposit of inferior Gulf quality,
which shippers are afraid to touch, bang moist and
rain damaged.*
London, England, 1850-11-01

GERMANY.

The result of the conferences at Warsaw seems
likely to be as favourable to Auatris, in so far as the
wishes of its government are considered, as could be
desired.

It is positively asserted, in a telegraphic despatch
in the Cologne Gazette, dated Berlin, Oct. 30,
" that, according to despatches received on the pre-
vious day from Warsaw, the Prussian proposals are
refused. Denmark will scarcely accept the proposed
Common Commission."

The same policy which dictates this decision has,
it is said, led to the return from Vienna of an evasive
answer is reply to the despatch in which Prtumia
proposes a commission, ad hoe, for settling the affairs
of Schleswig-Holstein.
It is also stated by our own correspondent that a
Russian note has arrived at Berlin which confirms the

auplessint oommucications made by Count Bran-
denburg a few days previously. Russia demands the
immediate reconstruction of the Bundestag.
It is reported that Bavaria and Austria intend to
occupy the military roads through Baden.
The Bonth-German news teems with accounts of
marching of troops towards the Main. Up to the
present time, however, the Bavarians and Austrians
only muster about 12,000 men, whilst the Prussians
have about 20,000 placed according to the best mili-
tary strategy along the roads through the electo-
rate. _ _

A telegraphic despatch from Vienne, dated Oct. 28,
states that the Steam Navigation Company on the
Danube has received orders to prepare tags and ves-
sels for the transport of troops from Croatia, Servia,
and Wallachia.

krOniffe;ii-Csaind we learn, under date the 29th
ult., that Hayman bad left the capital of the electo-
rate with the small remnant of troops occupying the
Castle. There seems to have been some difficulty
about the key of this strong - hold, which
Replan seemed as loath to give to a con-
stitutionalist, u a Paseyite parson to give up the
key of his church to a Gorhomite successor. The
troops, when they had assembled at Hanan and
Wil-
belmsbad, were disbanded, au i nothing but the cadres
of the regiments remain. The Prussian envoy to the
electorate, Hear yes ThU., had an interview with the
Elector on the 29th, at Wilhelmsbad.

sectarian nature, and all intention of interfering with

DEATH OF COUNT BRANDENBURG.

We learn by an electric telegraph despatch from
Berlin, dated the oth inst., that Count Brandenburg,
President of the Council, had died that morning, at
24 minutes past 8. The ilium of this minister has
been already notified; its immediate cause was the
remit of the Count's mission to Warsaw, in which he
was completely outwitted by the Austrian and Rus-
sian dipiomariats. Delirious fever was the malady
which caused death. Count Brandenburg was upwards
of 70 years of age ; he was the natural uncle of the
present King of Prussia.
The regular correspondence from Berlin only
reaches to the 4th inst., the mails of the sth having
again been detained at Minden, in Hanover. The
official An:riger, of the 4th, contains the announce-
ment of the acoeptation of Radowitz's resignation,
and the interim appointment of Manntenffel to fill
the presidency of the council during the illness of
Count Brandenburg. Count Bernstorff had net yet
arrived at Berlin. It seems that Count Rosen-
berg, who was announced ea bearer of despatches
on the subject of the conferences at Vienna,
was appointed to succeed Count Bernatoeff. Herr
von Sydow has resigned his post as Underßecretary
of State for Foreign Affairs and President of the
Prisons College. The warlike tone of the Oesternmich-
mks Oarrespowdensj of the 9ad, has calmed a AM in
the fonds. This correspondence says : " In the Garnet
question the most print unanimity exists between
Austria and Ronda. Marshal Radetaki and several
other generals have been summoned to Visions to
attend a grand council of war. Tranquillising pro-
CVhave bees made by Prussia, which, however,
t bees deemed admissible, since it is attempted
to oppose the effective intervention of the Band in
Hesse. Upon the acceptance or rejection of the
counter proposals of Austria, war or peace will
depend."
The fall of the funds was simultaneous with the
rise of gold and silver. Gold was at 28 per oset. pre-
mium.
The movements of the troops continue in fall
activity. Dates from Nuremberg, of the 4th, are
to the effect that on the previous day 2,400 Au-
triane, under General Bohol, arrived and continued
their way towards Bamberg. Three more divisions
were expected on the following day, so that within the
week 15,000 men with 1,700 horses have Famed
through.
A letter from Ulm, of the 2nd, announces the ar-
rival there of 6,000 Austrians from the.Vorarlberg ; 10
or 12,000 more were to pan on the 3rd. Them troops
were going on by train to %infamy's. According
to letters from Cassel, of the 4th, the old General
Haynes had received his dismissal, and would retire
from life.
