NEW PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.
The fourth eoneult, la3t night, pretented, the following
programme:—

PART I.
Beethoven's Grand Choral Symphony. Principal vo-
calists—Madame Clara Novello, Miss Williams, Mr.
Sims Reeves, and Herr Staudigl, with grand chorus.
PART 11.
Concerto in G Minor, Mdlle. Clauss
"Pna—" The Knight of Leon," Mr. Sims
Reeves Wylde.
Overture (Der Freischutz)
Song, " 0 ruddier than the cherry," Herr
Staudigl (Acis and Galatea)
Wedding March
The grand feature of the concert was Beethoven's
r eat Choral Symphony. This colossal work has often
been heard here, and is well known to the musical
Public, but it was never before performed in such a
Manner as to give an adequate idea of its grandeur and
beauty. It is only in a -vast locale like Exeter-hall that
this can he accomplished. Its performance was de-
serving of high and unmingled praise. Great force and
vigour were combined with the utmost precision, and the
most discriminating attention to all the delicacies of ex-
pression and effect, in a manner equally honourable to
the performers, and their able conductor.
Mademoiselle Clause, who maybe said on this occasion
to have made her first public appearance in this country,
Played Mendelssohn's concerto in a manner which justi-
fied her high reputation. Though very young she has
every quality of a great performer; a strength of hand
quite wonderful in one of so delicate an aspect; a liquid,
vocal touch; a firm, rapid finger; a graceful and beautiful
manner of phrasing, and a warm and animated expres-
sion. The audience expressed their delight by acclama-
tions, and the beautiful andante was called for a second
time.
Dr. Wylde's seena made little impression. It was a
musician-like composition, and showed technical skill,
but it lacked original and expressive melody.
The remainder of the performance consisted of well-
known pieces, which were well executed. The hall was
well filled, and the concert was satisfactory and suc-
cessful. exec

HANOVER-SQUARE ROO MS. I fire
This fashionable rendezvous of the patrons of musical
talent was well filled last evening by the friends and
admirers of a highly-deserving vocalist, Miss Annie
Von Each Taylor. The beneficiaire was much applauded
in the eavatina, " Robert toi qua j'aime;" in the sweet
duet, " Flow on, thou shining river," with Miss Poole;
and in " The mermaid's song" (Haydn), in the latter of
which she was warmly encored. A like compliment
Was paid to Miss Louisa Pyne, whose brilliant execution
of Rode's air was well worthy the reputation of the
English nightingale; to Herr :Formes in The wan-
derer;" and to Mr. Wrighton in his pretty ballad,
' Sweet home." The grand duet from Les Huguenots was
aptendidly given by Miss Louisa Pyne and Herr Formes;
the great basso was in noble voice. A duet from Maria
Padilla by the Misses Pyne also commanded universal
applause. Miss Poole sang with her usual dulcet smooth-
leas, Herr Reichart with energy and expression, and the
4` Largo al factotum" was dashed off by Herr Joughmans
With admirable clearness and genuine comic volubility.
The instrumental department comprised Mr. Frederick
Chhtterton on the harp, M. Aguilar on the pianoforte,
Herr Molique and Mr. Lucas on the violin and violin-
cello, and Signor Giulio Regondi on the concertina.
'ith such a multifarious array of talent, and a judi-
ciously selected programme, it may easily be concluded
that Miss Annie Von Esch Taylor's concert went off
with the utmost éclat.

THE "DISPATCH" EXHIBITION CHART.
The re-issue of this extraordinary production of in-
genious skill is hailed with the greatest satisfaction, not
merely by the numerous subscribers and readers of the
Weekly Dispatch, but, it may bo literally said, from ono
shore to the other of the British islands, We know of
orders for copies of next Saturday's impression being
Bent up to town from the remotest districts; and the de-
molition of the Crystal Palace has given such an im-
petus to the public demand for this the best memorial
Of its departed glories, that it seems almost impossible
for the proprietors of the Dispatch to furnish an ade-
quate supply. The merits of the Coloured Exhibition
Chart, showing at a glance by diagrams the contrast
in the daily number of visitors, the amount of money
received at the doors of the building, and various
other information in connexion with the Great
Exhibition during the five months it was open in 1851,
have been too generally appreciated both by the con-
temporary press, metropolitan and provincial, and by
the purchasers of the former issue in the commence-
Meat of the present year, to render it necessary to en-
large upon the subject. Its possession is indispensable
to every one (and who is not?) interested in perpetuat-
ing the reminiscence of that unparalleled undertaking
" The World's Fair," which leaves, not the least signal
among its many impresses on the national taste and
spirit, the production of so superb a specimen of typo-
graphic art as that for which " the million stand in-
debted to the liberality and ingenuity of that flourishing
establishment—THE WEEKLY DISPATCH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In your report of the trial of Richard Ambler
for a criminal assault on Maria Newberry, it is stated
that she was an inmate of the " Servants' Home;" but
such is not the fact. Both she and the girl Berrington,
who took her to Mr. Ambler's house, were inmates of the
Rouse of Charity, in Rose-street, Soho, a very useful
Institution, but quite unconnected with this society. As
from the peculiar nature of the circumstances such a re-
port might do us much injury, I shall be greatly obliged
If you will, in your next impression, correct the error.
I nm, Sir, &c ,
ROBERT FREEMAN, Secretary.

METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS. The
commissioners held a special mart at their Greek-street
office yesterday, for the dispatch of routine business. Pre-
sent—Mr. Peto, M.P. (who presided, in the absence of Mr.
Edw. Lewes, the chairman, from indisposition) and Captain
Vetch. The Secretary (Mr. Woolrych) read the weekly
account, from which it appeared that the available balance
on the Bth of May amounted to 5,723/. 10s. 4d. Payments
were then ordered by the court to the total sum of
5;g30/. Us. 3d., which reduces the available balance to
394/. 19s. ld. Reports were next received from the rate
collectors, respecting the state of their several collections,
and warrants were issued against defaulters in the Counter's
Creek and Wardle districts. The next business was to hear
appeals against the rates last made upon the Ranelagh, the
Regent-street and Regent's-park, and the Richmond dis-
tricts, but no one appeared in court to complain of their as-
sessment. On the subject of the prosecution of further works,
Mr. Peto stated that he vished the engineers of thecom
mission to be instructed that, in the present position of the
commission, and under the existing state of its finances, the
commissioners could not sanction the execution of any works,
excepting such as were demanded by urgent publicneciesn:
shy. After making some further orders, of no general
terest, the court adjourned till the 21st inst.
TIIE CAB NUISANCE.—The conduct of the cabmen
who ply from Palace .yard is nightly becoming more
less, and and loudly calls for the immediate application of more
stringent police regulations. No sooner d oes any consider-
able body of Hon. Members emerge from the pucincts of '
Westminster Hall, than a general rush of contending voci-
ferating cabmen follows, each endeavouri ng to outdo his
fellow in procuring "a fare." The corwequence is, that
of late several Hon. Gentlemen have narrowly escaped se-
rious injury, whilst others have not been altogether so for-
tunate. On Monday night Mr. Spooner had one of those ve-
hicles violently driven against his person whilst crossingt
Palace-yard. The Hon. Gentleman fortunate ly escaped with
a few bruises, which, however, were not of :50 serious a nature
• as to
to prevent his attendance—though evidently labouring
under much •
T" pain—in the House of Conti:cons last night.

tions are making at the Isles du Saint a small group hk
the Saintes, and situated at about nine let tgues from Cay-
nne), for the reception of the banished fron a France. The
Agricultural condition of French Guiana i s 'stated to be
greatly depressed. The quantity of sugar athipped in 1851
amounted to 203,039 kilogrammes, against 346,278 kilo-
, grammes in 150,
_making a falling of of 144,239 kilo-

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation 01! gold at Paris
. is about 5 per mills prem. (according to the >2l sW tariff ), which,
at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d . per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of
change at Paris on London at short being 39. ; and the. ex.
25A5, it follows
5.'
that gold is about 0.61 per cent. dearer in London than
in Paris. By, advices from Ilamburgh t> .e price of gold
is 431 per mark, which, at the Engli 1311 Mint price of
31. 17e. 10id. per ounce for standard gold,, es an exchange
of 13.8 ; and the exchange at Hambur gh on London at
short being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent.
dearer in London than in liamburgia. r, Me course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at. GO days' sight, is
1091 per cent., and the par of exchange b etween England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.08 per cent.'dgainsi ; England. The
present rate of excnange does not admit of tillB transmission
of gold Vag to or tEOI4 the Vaiteclstatea.
