The Cambridge Music Hall.

On Saturday the Inauguration concert was given in the
splendid music hall just completed by Mr Nugent for the
amusement and gratification of the residents at the East-
end of London. The site of the hall, with immediate
access from Commercial-street, and within a short distance
of the Shoreditch Railway station, is well chosen, more
especially as it is a little removed from the heavy carriege
traffic continually pouring up and down Dishopsgate-street.
As if in direct contrast to the building erected for the poor
through the munificent donation of Mr Peabody, and which
stands immediately opposite, the Royal Cambridge Music
Hall may be termed a classical building. It has noble
proportions, is massive in appearance, and is designed
apparently more with a view to utility than to secure un-
necessary effects produced by elaborate ornamentation.
The hall itself is marked by a noble entrance corridor,
which has detached columns on either side, and hand-
some tesselated tile paving and stone steps the full
width of the entrance. Here is the principal staircase,
which has been constructed so as io ensure the greatest
security from overloading. The peculiar shape of the site
rendered it necessary to deviate from the ordinary position
of the orchestra, which is usually found at the end of the
hall, but which in this instance is placed in the middle of
the longest Bide. This position was not a matter of upholding
a theory, or of devising any new idea. It was simply a matter
of necessity. The hall is classical in design, plain, sub-
stantial, and chaste, free from any violent pretensions, but
fulfilling all the requirements both as to the sense of seeing
and hearing. With respect to ornamentation, the architects
have placed more reliance on colour than on devising orna-
ments. Where openings have been left for ventilation they
are masked by perforated ornaments; but the mouldings
generally are plain, being simply picked out with colours.
Again, ascending the stairs, we reach a large commod ous
gallery, the largest one, perhaps, of any music hall in the
metropolis. Here, as in other portions of the hall, details
have been studied for the comfort of the audience.
Messrs. Finch Hill and Pamirs), the architects of the Ox-
ford, the Britannia Theatre, Evans's, Weaton's, and the
Philharmonic, are the architects, and from their designs
and under their superintendence the building was erected.
The lighting is by ornamental stars suspended from the
ceiling. The effect of this arrangement is exceedingly
beautiful, and while all the splendid decorations of the
noble hall are brought out in the most complete manner,
the effect of an overheated and vitiated atmosphere is en-
tirely avoided. Mr Nugent has engaged a most efficient
staff of vocalists, and all that is now wanted to make the
bold venture a complete success, " commercially speaking,"
is that patronage which is certainly most justly due to the
enterprising proprietor. His "house-warming" on Satur-
day was most encouraging, and we heartily wish him a
prosperous career in his new undertaking.

STATE OF THE TRADE.

Although the boa' trade was by no means active, high
quotations were generally demanded for all breeds of beasts.
The general top quotations for Scots and crosses, was
5s 3d, but some very superior animals realised be 10d. In
extreme cases Gs per Blbs was made. This quotation,
however, must be considered exceptional.

•
There was a good demand for Downs and half-breds, and
prices had an upward tendency; otherwise, the mutton
trade was rather inactive—nevertheless the quotations were
the turn higher. The top price was.6s per Sibs.
Calves sold freely, at 2d per Sibs more money, vii,,
4s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs.
Pigs were in good supply, and moderate request, at full
prices.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire comprised about 2,100 shorthorns,
&a. ; from Norfolk and Suffolk, 900 Scots and crosses ;
from other parts of England, including Devonshire, 1,500
various breeds ; from Scotland, 1,104 Scots and crosses;
and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers.
For the time of year the supply of foreign stock hero
to-day was large, and of good quality.

BOROUGH HOP.

We have to report continued firmness in the hop trade.
The supplies of home-grown produce on sale are very mode-
rate, and the bulk of the crop has now been taken out of
the growers' hands. For most qualities the trade is steady,
and the tendency of prices is in an upward direction. Last
week's import into London was 13 hales from Boulogne, 75

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. —This Day,

The December sections of this Court commenced.to-day.
Owing to the shortness of the interval that has elaped since
the adjournment of the Court there are not more than
fifty prisoners for trial. There are two charges of wil-
ful murder, one against the German, Kohl, for the
murder of his Countryman in the Plaistow Marshes,
and the other against a man named Jackson,
for killing a person with whom he had formerly
been on friendly terms, and who had lent him money. The
judges who will preside are Lord Chief Justice Erie, Mr
Justice Crompton, and Mr Baron Pigott. On Saturday
morning Kohl was removed from Ilford gaol to Newgate.
lie has lost much of the hardihood he displayed when first
apprehended. He has been visited in Ilford gaol by seve-
ral German gentlemen, and has had frequent interviews
with his solicitor. The Rev. Dr. Cappel, who attended
Muller in his last moments, has been frequently with Kohl

VICE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—A woman nearly 50
years of ago, who gave her name Sarah 13ilson, was
charged with cutting her throat.
William Martin, 60, Camera-square, Chelsea, said that
prisoner had been in the position of a wife to him for the
last 19 years, and coming to his house last night threat.
ened to cut her throat, and did something of the sort.
Prisonor—l have lived with him 21 years, and had four
children by him, and he always promised to marry me.
Mr Selfe (to witness)—Why did not you ?
Witness—Well, I was married already. I had a wife
living.
Mr Selfe—That was certainly a great impediment.
Prisoner—lns wife has becn dead these four years.
Mr Selfe—That alters the case. If you have been living
with the woman all the time stated, and had children,
why don't you marry her ?
Witness—She has destroyed my home. I used to ask
her to be married, and then she would not, and now I
cannot. She drinks—and I had to part with her, and got
a new home, and then she came to me with a knife, mad
wanted to frighten mo about cutting her throat,

Mr Selfe—She did cut her throat.
Witnea—She only hacked it a little—the could have cut
it more if she had wanted.
Mr Selfe—What did she do it with ?

Witness—She brought a knite with her in her pocket,
and when I said I could not do anything for her, she drew
it across her throat.

Prisoner—Where am I to go ? I have no home but
his. I did my duty as a wife by him, and he always pro-
mised to marry me when he could, but when he could he
would not. He has driven me to take a little drink, but
that is all he can say against me, I was determined if he
did nothing for me to tako my life. What else can I do.
-

Mr Selfe—That is a bad remedy for your misforinne.

Prisoner was remanded for a week in order to give her
time for reflection.

MORR SERIOUS FIRES AND EXPLOSlON.—Yes-
terday (Sunday) morning a fire broke out in the
premises of M. Parker, cheesemonger, Crosby-row, Com•
mercial-:road. The fire was not subdued until the stock in

PENTONTILLE PRISON.—The appointment of
Governor of Pentonville Prison having become vacant by
the absconding of Captain Craig, the same has been con-
ferred on Mr John C. IL Bones, Deputy-Governor of Ports •
mouth Convict Prison. Captain C. B. La Trouche has
been appointed to succeed Mr Bones at Portsmouth Prison.

IN " Mns. LIRRIPER," says the Saturdaylßeview,
another character has been added to the long list of ➢9r.
Dickens' creations whose names are household words among
all sorts and conditions of people in Great Britain and Aus-
tralia, and the United States, and wherever else humour
that is so essentiallyEnglsih can hope to be appreciated, If
Mrs. Lirriper is less familiarly and frequently alluded to
than Sairey Gamp, or Sam Weller, or Mr Micawber, it can
only be because she accidentally lacks a more elaborate set-
ting, and not from any want of distinctness or individuality
in her own character. Her shrewdness and thriftiness, her
prejudices, her simplicity, her real good-heartiness, veiled
as it is by vigorous sarcasms against Miss Wozenham or
the Wandering Christians, or servants, and above every-
thing, her confused volubility of speech, all make Mrs Lir•.
riper a real person in the reader's mind. 'fermium calls up
a human being, and not a mere parcel of droll sayings or
eccentricities of manner, The twelve pages in which, last
Christmas, MrDickens made her a famitiar friend to so many
thousands of people, are perhaps the most inimitable of his
performances.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

- -C.- - -

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Commissioner GJulborn.)
IN RE C. A. BUCK.
(Judgment—Commitment under the penal clauses.)
His Honour to-day gave judgment on the question of
order of discharge. The batakruiA was described as of
Albert-street, Victoria-square, Pimlico, Ho had previously
lived at a great number of places in London, &c., and at
several places in New Z ,aland. He now owes £2,100 debts,
contracted within two years', and produced no assets. He
was opposed on b3half of a Mr Fox, who had, upon the
bankrupt's false representations, let him have furniture of
the value of £320, with which he furnished a house, and on
the faith of his apparent respectability, got credit from
a great number of tradesmen to a large amount,
and he then got rid of the furniture, obtaining au advance
of £2OO from a loan and reversionary society.

His Honour said that ho considered that this was a case
in which ho ought to exorcise the power vested in the
Court of ordering; an imprisonment under the penal clause.
He went through a long history of the transaction, and
said that this was ouo d those cases now frequently before
the Court. The bankrupt was a mere adventurer—a kind
of personage without any means, and plundering every
person who was credulous enough to give him credit.
He considered that the goods had been obtained from Mr
Fox without the bankrupt having any reasonable prospect of
being able to pay, and also that the bankrupt had been
guilty of reckless and extravagant expenditure, and had
brought himself within the 169th section ; but the mere
suspension of the order of discharge would probably bo no
punishment, as the creditors might not ba in a position to
Place the bankrupt in prism except at great expense. He
(his Honour) therefore would deal with the case the same as
though the case was before him in the Crown Court, and a
man had been guilty of fraud as that disclosed here. As
the bankrupt had been in prison for two months, he would
sentence him to a further imprisonment for four months in
Newgate or Whitecross.street prison, and the warrant
would now issue.
