A BRILLIANT BRIDE.—The approaching marriage
the Sultan's daughter with the son of the Pacha of V-0413t
has given immense impetus to the haut commerce of palls.
The Sultan, with an unexampled generosity, has gives
commissions to the extent of four-and-twenty millions°
francs for jewels and embroidery destined for the bride'
The cup from which the bride drinks on her wedding°°°
morning is already executed, and is valued at Xg'o
sterling. It is of a pea shape, pure gold, encrusted '"is
diamonds of the largest size and finest water. The OP a
bordered by a fringe of diamonds; all of equal size 1/11j
immense ;value ; these hang detached from the cup' ate
move and sparkle in a constant flutter. Nothing 113,,,,cie
beautiful than this cup has ever been produced. 'n6
o
bridal slippers, of cloth of gold, embroidered in 1331111%
of diamonds have also created a sensation amongst .tes
sight seers of Paris. They entirely confirm the tn`
of Eastern magnificence which we have long .bee
accustomed to read with the impertinent incredni
of European ignorance; and as we look rot.A.°
the room at Mayer's, where these wonders are display
we believe, like Hassan the shepherd, that all things
possible to his Highness the Padishah. The vieddipeg;
ring has not yet arrived from Lyons, but the jeore'ii 4
border,which is to surround it, is already completed, P"
it is absolutely dazzling in its magnificence. $1 the
Sultan's desire, this border, which is of an arabese;
pattern, is made to contain specimens of every prenictl
stone at present known under the sun; and the desigtii,

so beautifully carried out that, although as many Pyle&

PHILHARMONIC HALL.-LAST NIGHT

THE 'HYMN OF PRAISE AND REQUIEM'

The Requiem of Mozart has attained much celebritl;
not only from its intrinsic musical merit, but from it
extraordinary and painful circumstances under "'bit
was composed. It may be requisite to inform ELlit44',Bll
Protestant readers, that a requiem is a portion of the c't-r
for the dead in the Roman Catholic Church ; this partici°
requiem was composed for a nobleman, who gave tile
commission in a mysterious manner, paying him i'—
ber
somely ; in the act of concluding it Mozart died, and t
requiem was performed for the first time at his °s
funeral. It will easily be inferred that such-a work is Ph-i,
a very appropriate one for the concert room, and th;)
was felt last night. file grandeur, solemnity, and Plit'ito
were all appreciated, but the lofty cathedral, witbee
solemn aisles and the accompanying service, ace.
wanting to give duo weight to the performancnora i;
The form of the work in its most important part is
it is varied and difficult, and was, on the whole'whole'll
'
•
performed, particularly the Benedictus and A 9 ig4s Pei
The second part of the concert was made up or -1 a_
0e
delssohn's " Hymn of Praise." This is also looked in,.
as a sacred work, but in character it is dramatic, sPanr
ling, and almost operatic ; it was a relief to the aucli4itboe
to hear it, and was admirably performed, if we exeePt -left
roughness of the tenors, which is very apparent whiet: file
to themselves. The solo parts were confided to glfr,
Rudersdorf, Miss Lascelles, Mr. Thomas, andt cl
George Peren. The latter gentleman acquit ,rt
himself very creditably, having undertaken the tof
at a short notice, owing to the indisposition
another tenor. Madame Rudersdorf was in good voicer 71:e
sang with much feeling. Miss Lascelles
beautiful voice with taste and vigour whenever off iv
tunity occurred. Mr. Thomas is new to Liverpool, 0.'1(10
a bass singer of good vocal gifts, having a pure 1300_,r,°01
voice of great compass ; his singing is also char acted
by taste and feeling. The band never played 'peter' d 414.1:
seemed to find a pleasurable task in Mendlressohn's °1—
The house was filled in most parts.

hl
We understand that owing to shete Rev. S. Mintonl'l ooofd
accepted tha pastoral charge of Percy Chapel, 13.4'
the Rev. R. A. Gent, curate of St. Paul's, Prineesqs,
is likely to succeed him in the incumbency of St.
Church in this town.
