MUSIC.

SACRED HARMONIC
The third concert of the season, which took
place last night, was rendered tributary to the memory of
Rossini by the perfumes of his Shiba* Peter, preceded
by the " Dead March" lean Headers der, ; these solemn
preliminary strains producing an impressive effect cm the
large audience, who rose and stood in reverence at the
occasion which had mused their introduction. In front
of the disk at which Mr. Costa presided as candacter was
placed, amidst black drapery, soapy of the Ike bust of
Ikesini, recently executed by Denten.
The beautiful &seat, which has been frequently before
given by this society, of course derived a special interest
on this occasion from the recent domain of its illustrious
con,) user. The long silence which Rossini preserved after
the production (in 11129) of his dramatic masterpiece
Coillawnee 2111 was almost unbroken until his death,
with the exception of the Stoat Mater (produced in 1842,
but written several years earlier), although he is known
to have composed much, and to have loft a large quantity
of manuscript compositions behind him. Although
standing in strong centred to the severer style of
the greatest church composers, Rossini's aster 'later
mart always exercise a great charm by its
exquisite grace of melody, its admirable vocal and
orchestral writing, and the power and genius so largely
disclosed throughout it. While it can scarcely excite awe
or reverence, even with the most gorgeous surroundings
of the catholic service for which it was composed, it
should always command high admiration and delight by
its mastery and beauty. These sentiments were certainly
experienced by the whole of the vast audience at last
night's performance, which was one of general
excelknce. Madame Ruderedorff gave the solo
(with chorus) " Inflammetus" with great power
and energy, and to Madame Sainton-Dolby was
assigned the beautiful cssetbuir " Fee portem," which
!!, it scarcely necessary to fay was ;"ien "'la, much
earnest feelmg ; the well-known duet, " Qui, est home,"
being rendered with great effect by the joint singing of
these ladies. Is the exquisitely beautiful air, " Cajun
animism, " Mr. Cummings was provided with music well
suited to his voice and soars style, and he sang it admir-
ably ; the fine bees air, "Pro peocatis," being effectively
declaimed by Signor Tagliafico. Mozart's Squirm, his
dying bequest to the stores of musical art which
he had otherwise en largely enriched during his
brief but productive life, formed an appropriate
and impressive close to last night's performance in honour
f the memory of Rossini. The solos in the Reptiem
were assigned to the same singers as those of the &ghat
Mater; and in both these works (so different, yet each
so great in its style), the choral and orchestral perform-
ances were up to the usual high standard of the Sacred
Harmonic Society.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

The prosecution of the Irishman newspaper is a I
step, the Tines observes, which no other government
would have so long forborne to adopt. Seditious libels are
in law inch written attacks on lawful authority se fall
short of directly inciting subjects to levy war against the
Queen—for this might be evidence of treason—yet trans-
gress the limits of temperate criticism on political meaanres,
and it will be for a court of justice to decide whether the
license indulged in by the Fenian journals comae within
these limits.
Discussing the meeting at St. James's Hall relative to
the Irish church, the Times says it sees no way of reach-
ing a question of such import and difficulty but compro-
mise. The nature of this compromise is not referred to.
The Daily News praises the circular issued by the Poor-
law Board for its wise recommendations respecting the
organisation of labour at the east-end. Systematic effort
on a large scale is greatly needed. What was done in
Lancashire during the cotton famine affords a precedent
which cannot be too attentively studied.
Assuming that to obtain Italian neutrality must be
the height of the French Emperor's expectations, the
Daily News remarks that neutrality is precisely what all
the truest friends of Italy would desire her to preserve.
General Blenabrea may easily and safely consent to that.
The Standard understands that remonstrances have been
addressed to the government of Servia by several of the
great powers, on the ground of its excareive armaments,
and that they are likely to have the desired effect.
The Queen's book is the subject of articles in the Daily
News, Post, and Star.

lane, when he saw the prisoner and several other lads
assembled for the purpose of gambling.. lie saw the pri-
soner throw up several halfpence and pick them up. The
other lads ran away as soon as he approached, but he se-
cured the prisoner.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was not
tossing. Re was only looking on, when the constable
wired him.
The magistrate observed that gambling by boys in the
public streets bad lately become a nuisance to the inhabi-
tants, and must be put a stop to. Refined the prisoner
or one day's imprieonment.
Edward Daverfirld, 16, was charged with gambling in

THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.
William Maria Taylor, • master lightermen, was
placed at the bar before Alderman Belle, charged with
throwing mud into the river Thames, contrary to the
74th clause of the Thames CODOWIIIIICy. Act of 10041 by
which he was liable to • penalty of 2M.
Imes Finnan, Inspector of the Thames Pollee, said
that about • quarter to 12 o'clock that day be was en
and saw the prisoner throwing •
quantity of mud from a barge on to the 11)02V of the
?liver Thames. The barge was lying on the shore. It
was loose, dirty mod. Ile saw the prisoner throw four
shovels fell on the shore, but there was • large quantity
lying outside the barge, which had the aof
having bets recently thrown there. The di, anosdid
not tell him where be got the mud free, but mid, " Yoe
and I can make this all right ; I am all right with them
over the way" (pointing to the Thames Conservancy).
The defendant said that his barge had sunk, and when
be got it up there was a great deal el mid in it. It was
the mud which came into the barge by siakimr, which he
threw out. lie thought there was ao harm in throwing
back into the river what came from the river.
Alderman Bailey said the act of parliament made no
provision for that ; it only said that no mud should be
thrown into the 3 Mmes. He wished to know whether
the defendant bad over been cautioned before.
Inspector Firman said that he did not know. He bad
known the defendant a great many years as a master
lighterman, but as far as he (Inspector Firman) knew, he
had never base in trouble before.
Alderman Healey said it was melees for the City and
Metropolis to go to the exposes of millions to purify the
Thames, if lighterrnen were to be allowed to throw rub-
bish into it. He fined him 405.. or 14 days' imprisonment.
MARYLEBONE.
Hoary Harm (no home), carver, was charged with
stealing a bottle of port wine.
Henry Haskell, foreman to Mr. Hervey, wine merchant,
8 and 10, Albany-street, said, that morning the prisoner
entered the shop and took • bottle of wine from a shelf.
As be was walking away he stopped him and handed him
over to the officer.
Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he weecarver
and gilder, out of work. This time the moon was at its
full, and when it was so it changed his head. He was
tether flighty et suck thew. He would admit that be did
jump into the shop and take hold of the bottle of wine,
and was going to ask the price of it.
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner (who certainly
did seem strange in his manner) for a week for the medical
officer at the House of Detention to see him.

OCCLUSION.

Tall Mama of the Mira has recently discovered
an entirely new property of metals. Having oc-
casion to minutely analyse one of those curious
messengers from the skies termed meteorites, he
noticed that in addition to certain common metallic
substances it contained hid up or occluded among
its particles the gaseous element hydrogen.
Following up this observation ho soon found that
the metals palladium, platinum, and iron, thoegb
well hammered and, in common language, per-
fectly compact, absorbed many times their
volume of various gases in which they wore
placed. Not only were these gases not driven
off when the pieces of metal were heated, but ex-
posure to high temperatures greatly facilitated
absorption. This seemed to indicate that the gas
was not in a mere condition of condensation
within the pores of the metal, but had passed
into some solid state of combination, an assump-
tion that was confirmed on exposing palladium
containing hydrogen for two months in a
tube from which the air had been pumped,
not a trace of gas escaping from the
metal into the vacuum during that period.
That this property of occlusion is some-
thing tangible and powerful may be gathered
from the statement that, under favourable
circumstances, a piece of metal can be made to
take up several hundred--in one ewe nearly a

TnE Prussian and French journals disouss from
very different points of view the paragraph in the
Ring of DENMARK'S speech relative to Northern
Schleswig. The official German papers say that
the delay in the execution of Article V.
of the treaty of Prague. by the terms
of which Prussia undertook to consult by universal
suffrage the populations of Schleswig, and to give
beck to Denmark the portion of the country in
which the inhabitants voted for their former King.
has been caused by the difficulty of obtaining
guarantees in favour of the German notion
of the inhabitants. The affection which Prussia
professes for the Germans of Schleswig is thought
by our French contemporaries to bo so ardent as
to load Prussia to believe that those inhabitants
will find no protection so effective as its own.
However this may bo, the Paris journals contend
that not only is justice violated, but the general
security of Europe affected by the present state of
things. Another broose, in fact, appears to be
rising.

OUR CONTEMPORARM3.
(THIS DAY.)
London, England, 1868-10-08

TOBACCO RMOAINO.

TUE appearance of the new Tobacco Loan of
Italy seems to have caught the fancy of the conti-
nental journals, which dwell just now as much
upon tobacco as upon the Spanish revolution. In
the midst of the smoke a certain society just esta-
blished in Paris has very little chance ; we mean
the " French Association against the Abuses of
" Tobacco." It is more modest in its ob-
jects than the Anti-Smoking Association in
England, but its moderation avails it no-
thing with the critics. Dr. Blderts, the pre-
sident, is called upon to state the exact
number of cigars which constitute abuse, and the
number of times a meerschaum can be safely and
decorously filled. " I have several colleagues,"
says ono writer, " who smoke fifteen cigars
" a day, and I know others could not write
" four lines of verse or forty lines of prose
" without a pipe between their lips." As
people are not all constituted alike, it
must in these matters always be difficult to trace
the exact line between use and abuse. But the
foregoing bit of personal observation helps to ex-
plain a statistical statement which is given some-
where else. The tobacco annually used in France
as snuff is declared to be equal to thirty oolumns
of the size of the Column Vendome. The tobacco
for smoking represents a cube, heavily pressed,
equal to the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile with
its foundations. The tobacco for chewing
would fill 3,780 puncheons of Bordeaux.
The cigars put end to end would go twice round
the globe. So there is work cut out for the doctor.
But be is told that you cannot have too much of a
good thing. " Permit me to observe, monsieur,"
says one, " that tobacco is the recreation, the de-
" light, let me say the consolation, of half a
" million poor Frenchmen. Three sous of tobacco
" will fill six pipes, and each pipe is entertain-
" ment for half an hour. I have, then,
" whatever may be my state and my
" fortune, roseate dreams, voyages in the
" blue ether, fleecy clouds to surround me like the
" gods of Olympus, all for fifteen centimes. The
Italians call tobacco the erba sancta, the sacred
herb ; but it needs, they say, more sedulous wor-
ship, and they seek to offer British gold at its
shrine. If the lender has any scruples as to the
destination of his money, perhaps this tribute from
French devotees may help to remove them.

IRONNASTERir QUARTERLY MEETING.

The quarterly meetings of the ironmastere of
South Staffordshire commenced at Wolverhampton yes-
terday afternoon. The attendance was small, and con-
fined principally to those who are engaged in the trade in
the locality. A very moderate amount of busineoi waa
transacted, but a more cheerful feeling prevailed than has
been exhibited for the last two years. The trade has been
steadily improving for two months or more. The demand
by bon consumer, is better ; that, coupled with the cir-
cunwiance of the production having been much lessened
in consequence of the extreme beat of the weather
in July and August has had the effect of im-
partiug a degree of activity at the works such
as has not been attained for a very long time.
The chief ground of complaint at this moment is the low-
nem of prices ; but in that respeet alko some slight int-
prowinent has taken place. The demand for pig-iron—
the make of the district— is better, and it was rumoured
eeterday that it is in contemplation to blow in additional
furnace*. Since the preliminary meting took place one
film sold in a let 6,000 tons. As usual, of late, nearly the
whole of the busineee of quarter day is reserved for the
meeting in this town, to-day. The merchants and factors
revived an old di-pate: on account of this being the first
Wednesday in the month, they insisted that so far as
they were concerned pay-day at Wolverhampton is not
until next Wednesday. The four cantidatis for West
Staffordshire visited the exchange in the course of the
day.

recei%ed any desperate injury he had to send to
some neighbouring city for ',killed assistance, to
the detriment of the general practitioner who had
been accustomed to attend him for his minor dis-
orders. Thus the village hospital restored the
balance between town and country. It is the
practice to associate in its management all the
medical men living in the immediate neighbour-
hood of one of these hospitals; thus there is
plenty of help when it is needed. The inexpen-
eive nature of these institutions is their beet
feature. One of them can be fitted with every
cons enience for six beds for seven i v pounds. Its
apt:wanes and surroundings are like those of a
better class of labourer's cottite,nsi, iltaitie the patient
is not oppressed with the strangene-s of such in-
stitutions as the town hospital. Ile is surrounded
with his friends and neighbour; ; in Alert, ho feels
at 'acme, hence all the moral influences combine
with the pure air to effect cures sail as no great
hospital surgeon, working in bad air, can expect
to effect. Since the establishment of the original
Tillage hospital, several similar ones have been
en cted in different parts of the country. There is
one at Burton-on-the-Water, another at. Fowey,
and at Wrington ; at East Grinstead, again, similar
institutions have been started and carried on with
success. May they spread over the land, and pre-
sent an example of how much good may be done

and the sestet, " Sole, sole," by the several voca-
lists inert named, reinforced by Mr. L. Thomas,
doted the selection from the operaand the first por-
tion of the concert ; the second part of which
commenced with Maurer's concerto:de quartet
for violins, with orchestral accompaniments. This
hiece, intended for the simultaneous dimplay of the
igh executive powers of four solo yiolinists, was
admirably performed on this occasion, the players
being Messrs. Sainton, H. Blagrove, Carrodus, and
11111. Two of Mendelmohn's exquisite hoder,
" To the absent one," and " A hunter's song,"
by Mr. Beeves, followed by two " Claribel " songs
sung by Madame Sainton-Dolby, formed one of
those violent contrasts of which the concert pro-
grammes have offered several instances. After
the last-named pieces, Mr. Sullivan's new song,
" I wish to tune my quivering lyre" (a transla-
tion from " Anacreon" by Lord Byron), was espe-
cially welcome. This piece has much of the character
of a dramatic ecena, having several changes of
tempo and style, and being Instrumented for a full
orchestra with that skill in the management of
details and varied effects of which Mr. Sullivan
has given rosily previous proofs. It was magnifi-
cently sung by Mr. Bentley, who, with the com-
weer, was enthusiastically recalled. The trifling
" Why are you wandering here," pleased so
much as to be encored, the singer (Mdllo. Liebhart)
making the same response to the request as when
encored on the previous evening. The quartet
" Un di se ben," from Verdi's Rigoletto, by Mdllo.
Liebbart, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Rigby,
and Mr. Fantley ; Mr. Benedict's song, " I mur-
mur not," expansively sung by Mdlle. Drasdill ;
and Handel's song and chorus, " Haste Thee,
IT}mph," the solo given with vigour and anima-
tion by Mr. Thomas, led to the National Anthem,
the solo singers being Mdlle. Titiena, Madame
Fainton-Dolby, Messrs. Rigby and Thomas, rein-
tom d by the chores—and with this the third and
last concert concluded, the close of the festival
itself having Lein recorded above, the musical
procerdinge being followed, as usual, by a full-
dress ball, to take place in the Shire-hall to-night.
Mention has already been made of the active
part taken in the arrangements of the present
festival, during the past twenty-three years, by
Mr. J. 11. Brown, the secretary; and it only
remains to recognise the courtesy and attention
also evinced by the stewards generally.

Pancras Vestry-hall : < ti
Many of the gentlemen on the platforik, two three-
in tie front now especially, played a distinguished part
in the fray, which wan coon changed into the ridiculous
by a short. corpulent, elderly gentleman, who rolled
'linnet( into the front, and for the space of two or
throe minutes was soon, with very red face, like the
gentleman in " Pickwick," " sparring away like
clockwork." Several other reetrymen shovel pugi'
listio tendencies, one powerful parochial legislator hitting
nut nyeatedly from the etiolate into space, and uthere,
beating the air with equal ferocity. In all directions upon
the platform gentlemen wore shouting at, and, indeed,
above, the top of their voices, at each ether, at tkol hon.
member, or at the thedreism, until the latter gentldman,
outehouting the whole, demanded, "Do ynu Matt your
member to break a blood-vessel P Then for goodness sake
hear him." This oryweinderii 414.1 hentimen Weenie ellfeet,
and Mr. Lewis in acme fashion was allowed to finish.' The
remaindeg of the proceedings was mere tumult and (teed&
moot. ?Loot of the questions asked were eo confused, or
the mode of asking so rude, that they produced betti but
disorder. Thalnia member's answer were hardly whited
for before they were condemned by a large motion of the
meeting.
Wo are told afterwards that the only clear,
ie.

prendon of opiniee to bo gathered from the eon-
eluding tumult was, that Mr. Lawry was
obnoxious and Dr. Sarrnirrrn popular. The vote
of confidence was lost, and the chairman of the
meeting, as well as tho candidates, had to leave
the room incontinently. It is earnestly to be
hoped that this disgraceful behaviour will tilt
be repeated elsewhere. There are abundant
ways of making a member feel that his
conduct to his party has not met with
the approval of those he represents. Mr. LENII:4.B
part in the Tea-room conclave was nearly as in-
significant as Mr. ARTHUR KINNAIRD'S, who
found his way there, as ho pathetically wrote, by
chance, and remained through innocence of heart.
Still it is s fair stroke of eleotioneering tactics
to remember the fact now. But the turbulent
brawlers who misbehaved thsmselvea yesterday
were probably innocent of political feeling. They
were the " roughs" of parochial life, and should
be put down with a strong hand, like other dis-
turbers of the public peace.

THE EARL OF CARNARVON.

THE Earl of CAtmutvoN's public career is so
full of promise that his opening address as Presi-
dent of the Social Science Association will be read
with interest by politicians of all shades. It is a
satisfactory sign when a minister can submit to
break off labours of proved usefulness for con-
science' sake, and to resign office just as fitness
for it is being proved, rather than lend his name
to proceedings which he knows to savour of chica-
nery and deceit. The Earl of C.insisnvos sacri-
ficed not merely place but the political connections
and friendships of his lifetime rather than " dish
•• the Whigs" at the expense of consistency and
honour ; and for this reason, if for no other, his
utterances on public affairs will always command
the attention due to honest conviction and
independent judgment. An inaugural address at
a Sccial Science meeting is necessarily far-reaching
in its grasp and catholic in its extent of range.
The world being out of joint and the papers of the
association being meant to put it right, it follows
that the speech introducing those papers to the
public should touch upon most subjects of the day
and shadow forth an opinion or a sentiment upon
ach. The Earl of CAUNARVON seems to us to
have done this very successfully. From public
vaccination to capital punishment, from mu-
nicipal law to the principles of religion,
from the condition of our poor to the genius
of Lord BROUGHAM, from telegraphic communica-
tion with America to the London Water Supply,
from the advantages of education to the discipline
of our prisons, are but a few of the transitions in
Lord CARNARVON's speech. The solvency awl
usefulness of trade unions, the circulars of the
Poor-law Board, the rights of private property :4
sea, decimal coinage, arbitration courts, meteoro-
logy, smoking upon railways, taste, and commerce
were all points upon which the new president
expressed himself modestly and well. Lord CAR-
NARVON'S laborious painstaking has been already
proved. His unceasing efforts to obtain an altera-
tion in our penal system, and in the treatment
of the sick poor in workhouses, marked him out as
one of the most liberal minded of Tory politicians.
His appearance at Birmingham yestenlay is in full
accord with the reputation he has earned; and if
the sum total of human wisdom was not greatly
increa.k.ed, an example of intelligent human
interest was set, which the younger members of
his order may follow with advantage.

ELECTION ROW.

MR. HARVEY LEWIS seems to have bad a bad
time of it ut St. Pancras yesterday evening. The
honourable member's constituents were particu-
larly lively, and the honourable member himself
SCOW; to have been goaded into a temporary for-
getfulness of time and plat*. That an elector
should ask annoying, and oven insulting, questions
as to the " tea-room "" and other matters is less
surprising than that Mr. HARVEY LEWIS should
bandy personalities with him as a " fellow," and
a " bantam cock" ; while " Confound him ! I
" have always vot,sl for the ballot," as a mode of
apostrophising a voter which is at least as energetic
as polite. But the whole procordings mid like a
bad imitation of the worst election scenes of a
generation back. Mr. LixosAy'e public complaint

MEXICO UNDER THE NEW REGIME.

A correspondent of the Timea, who, as .• A
British Resident in Mexico" of four years standing, claims
to speak with some authority on the subject, gives an
interesting account of the country since it has been sub-
Bct to the government of Juarez and the Republic.
Briefly referring to the fall of Maximilian, he says that
many of the deeds committed Marquez in this name of
the Emperor were ascribed to Juarez; but after the occu-
pation of the city cf Mexico by the insurgent army there
was not a single case of outrage upon any of the peaceful
inhabitants.
The action of the government, frem the date of its
establishment in July, has beau in strict aceurdunce with
the constitution of 114:i7, which is, in its main features, a
copy of the constitution of the United States. The courts
of justice, organised according to that constitution, were
immediately opened throughout the country ; uncon-
trolled liberty was afforded to the press, and complete
liberty of conscience was proclaimed. The budget pro-
vider for an expenditure of 18,000,000 dollars during the
current year, and includes the appropriation of 3,500,000
dollars which the goveniment is authorised to apply to
the payment of the interest upon and redemption of the
interior and exterior natisnal debts. Large sums are also
allotted to repair the public roads, to encourage the build-
ing of railways, fuel to carry out various public works of
considerable importance. Up to the present date the
government has religiously earned out the decisions of the
congress.
The government has been established on such sound
economical principles that all the requirements of the
republic have hitherto been met without having recourse
to extraordinary taxation, to fumed loans, or to any of
those exactions which gave Mexico so unenviable a repu-
tation pier to the intervention. The insurrections
ugainst the goveniment of J1.3113z have been most hang-
iiitieant, being ihrectisl rather against the local governors
of the states than against the federal government of the
ref üblic; and they have all 61C11 subdued. It is true that
bnganduke still exists, although the government has taken
the strongest tuneures to repass it; hut the state of the
loads now is favourably contrasted with their condition
under French se imperial rule. With respect to the
claims of British bondholders, they are, in principle,
acknowledged by the foreign ministers of Juarez, but ho re-
jects all the arrangements which were eatensl into with the
koveiument of Maximilian. Nevertheless he is willing to
cuter into negotiations with any ugent the bondholders
may semi out. The " British Resident " declared that
although diplomatic relations have not been re-established
with Mexico the interests of British subjects resideut in
that country have hitherto received the fullest protection
flow the native authorities.
