APTOMMAS'S BARDIC FESTIVAL.

The Festival given by Mr. Aptommas on Tuesday at the
Hanover-square Rooms attracted a very numerous and
fashionable audience. The harp performances, of ceursb,
were the principal feature in the concert. In addition
to Mr. Aptommas we had as performers on the same in-
strument Messrs. Engel, Hargitt, F. Chatterton, Cheshire,
Ellis Roberts, Leyland, Lockwood, George, Mdm. Dryden
and Miss E. Ward. The vocalists were Mdlle. Parepa:
Miss Wynn, Herr Richardt, Wilbye Cooper, and Mr. Lewis
Thomas. With such a company the performance could not
fail to prove highly attractive, and the whole of the pieces
were listened to with evident gratification. In the first
part Miss Ward played a solo on the piano with much bril-
liancy, and bids fair to become a most accomplished pianist.
The great feature, however,of the festival was the perform-
ance upon eight harps, entitled " Sounds from Home,"
which is thus described in the programme. This
bardic fantasia was suggested by the characteristic
pecularity of the melodies to which it owes its origin. Pre-
ceded by a short introduction (representing the stillness of
the night), the piece opens with " The Dawn of Day," the
development of which is designed to illustrate the gra-
dual approach of daylight, the appearance of the sun upon
the horizon, and ultimately its glorious rising. The men
of Harleeh, in the distance, aro now heard marching to the
battle-field, from whence after a fierce engagement they
re,curn victorious, and enter on the festivities, the scenes of
which it {is attempted to pourtray in the treatment of the
concluding melody.
The performance was a complete triumph, and called
forth the loudest demonstrations of applause. A selection
of Irish and Scotch melodies concluded the festival,
which must be classed high amongst the concert successes
of the season,

The Awards at the International Exhibition,

MEETING THIS DAY.

A meeting of prize medalists was held this day, at the
Royal Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, for the pur-
pose of considering the best means to be adopted for their
protection, in consequence of a recent decision in the Vice-
Chancellor's Court, by which it appeared that there did not
exist at present any legal power to restrain non-exhibitors
and others, who had not received awards at the late Exhi-
bition, from making use of the medals as trade marks, or
otherwise.

The chair was occupied by Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P

The CHAIRMAN said he had been called upon to preside
at that meeting by a number of gentlemen, who were en-
titled to medals by merit, and by the council of the Exhi-
bit:on, who complained of the use of those medals by per-
sons who had not had them awarded them, in furtheranc 3 of
their trade. He could not help calling such a proceeding
a fraud. He was not fond of using strong language, but
in a case like the present, he thought it was right to speak
very plainly, and he was of opinion that any per-
Pon who acted in the way described, viz., by
falsely representing that he had received a priza medal,
placed himself in anything but a favourable light as an
honest tradesman. He should be very glad to hear obser-
vations from any gentlemen present, and also to assist them
in approaching Earl Granville, in order to induce his lord-,
ship to take some steps by which all persons who committed
such a fraud would be punished.

Mr. WADE moved the following resolution, viz.:—
" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the use of the Ex-
hibition prize medals of 1862, or any previous exhibition,
by any person or persons other than those to whom such
medals have been awarded by her M •jesty's Commissioners
under the direction of the jurors, is a direct fraud, tending
to deceive and mislead the public, to injure the authorised
medal holders, and to subvert the objects of the Exhibition."

Mr. S. C. HALL thought that the resolution ought to be
so worded as to embrace " honourable mention," because he
thought it quite as bad to make use of the latter term as in
asserting they had received medals when such was not the

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of beasts on sale in our
market to-day, in good condition. Prime Scots, &c., sold
steadily at full prices, but other breeds moved off heavily
at barely late rates. The highest quotation was ss. per 81b.
The show of sheep was moderately extensive. Downs and
half-breds were firm in price; otherwise, the mutton trade
was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The top
figure was 55. per 81b. Lambs were in good supply, and
heavy request on former terms—viz., from ss. 4d. to Gs. Bd.
per 81b. We have to report a dull sale for calves—the sup-
ply of which was large—at previous rates. Pigs were
rather cheaper. In milch cows very little was doing.

THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.

Not content with having secured the services of the most
wonderful gymnasts that ever appeared in the metropolis,
Mr. Wilda has added another attraction to the already over-
115wing programme of the Royel Alhambra Palace. On
Monday evening three French clowns, "Les Trois
Nicholet," from the Cirque Napoleon, made their first
appearance and met with a very hearty reception. Tha
first part of their performances comprised some of the most
wonderful feats in balancing ever attempted. With the
aid of six or seven chairs piled one above another, a frail
and trembling c 'halm is erected, and the three artistes
mount it simultaneously with the most surprising
agility, and when on the summit go through the first part
of the evolutions, which,if described would hardly be be-
lieved. The second
part consists of a tumbling act, and
never have we seen such fun created as that on Monday
evening. The audience were in extacics with "Le Trois
Nicholet," and well they might be, for certainly a neater
or more pleasing performanco of its kind has never been
witnessed.

MR. WooDIN IN DIIBLIN.—On Tuesday even-
ing Mr. Woodin appeared in the Rotondo in his
extraordinary representations of chataeter, and had the
gratification of baying a crowded house, which he is also
lik'ly to be favoured with so long as he remains in Dublin.
His personification of " Lord Dundreary" is really excel-
lent—almost as good as the original himself. Mr. Woodin
is decid€dly the best mimic of the sayings and doings of
others of all ranks and classes, and of both sexes, that has
ever appeared before an audience in this city.'-1r"

APTOMMAS'S BARDIC FESTIVAL.

The Festival given by Mr. Aptommas on Tuesday at the
Hanover-square Rooms attracted a very numerous and
fashionable audience. The harp performance!, of ceurse,
were the principal feature in the concert. In addition
to Mr. Aptommas we had as performers on the same in-
strument Messrs. Engel, Hargitt, F. Chatterton, Cheshire,
Ellis Roberts, Layland, Lockwood, George, Mdm. Dryden
and Miss E. Ward. The vocalists were Mdlle. Parepa:
Miss Wynn, Herr Richardt, Wilbye Cooper, and Mr. Lewis
Thomas. With such a company the performance could not
fail to prove highly attractive, and the whole of the pieces
were listened to with evident gratification. In the first
part Miss Ward played a solo on the piano with much

liancy, and bids fair to become a most accomplished pianist.
The great feature, however,of the festival was the perform-
ance up
un eight harps, entitled " Sounds from Home,"
which is thus described in the programme. This
bardic fantasia was suggested by the characteristic
pecularity of the melodies to which it owes its origin. Pre.
ceded by a short introduction (representing the stillness of
the night), the piece opens with " The Dawn of Day," the
development of which is designed to illustrate the gra-
dual approach of daylight, the appearance of the sun upon
the horizon, and ultimately its glorious rising. The men
of Harlech, in the distance, are now hoard marching to the
battle-field, from whence after a fierce engagement they
return victorious, and enter on the festivities, the scenes of
which it ;is attempted to pourtray in the treatment of the
concluding melody.

The performance was a complete triumph, and called
forth the loudest demonstrations of applause. A selection
of Irish and Scotch melodies concluded the festival,
which must be classed high amongst the concert successes
of the season.

MENTAL ARITHMETIC.

Take the square of five, multiply it by fifteen,
divide it by three, deduct eight from it, add four
dozen to it, give me the result in pence, and tell me
how many eggs I could get for it at three farthings
apiece. The problem is hardly stated, when a
dozen small boys pour out answers. Some wide,
some very nearly right, some worked as far as they
can with, such accuracy as at once to show what
link of the chain has been dropped in the hurry.
For the moment none are quite right ; but behold a
labouring spirit beating the buttons on its corporeal
waistcoat, in a process of internal calculation, and
knitting en accidental bump on its corporeal fore-
head in a concentration of mental arithmetic ! It
is my honourable friend (if be will allow me to call
him so) the fifer. With right arm eagerly extended
in token of being inspired with an answer, and with
right leg foremost, the fiter solves the mystery ;
then recats both arm and leg, and with bump in
ambush awaits the next poser. Take the square of
three, multiply it by seven, divide it by four, add
fifty to it, take thirteen from it, multiply it by
two, double it, give me the result in pence, and say
how many halfpence. Wise as the serpent is the
four feet of performer, on the nearest approach to
that instrument, whose right arm instantly appears
and quenches this arithmetical fire. Tel! me some-
thing about Great Britein, tell me something about
its principal productions, tell me something about its
ports, tell me something about its seas and rivers,
tell me something about coal, iron, cotton, timber,
tin, and turpentine. The hollow square bristles
with extended right arms ; but ever faithful to fact
is the fifer, ever wise as the serpent is the performer
on that instrument, ever prominently buoyant and
brilliant are all members of the band. I observe
the player of the cymbals to dash at a sounding
answer now and then rather than not cut in at all ;
but I take that to be in the way of his instrument.
All these questions, and many such are put on the
spur of the moment, and by one who has never
examined these boys. The Uncommercial invited
to add another, falteringly demands how many
birthdays a man born on the twenty-ninth of Feb-
ruary will have bad on completing his fiftieth year ?
A general perception of trap and pitfall instantly
arises, and the fifer is seen to retire behind the
corduroys of his next neighbours, as perceiving
special necessity for collecting himself and commun-
ing with his mind. Meanwhile, the wisdom of the
serpent suggests that the man will have had only
one birthday in all that time, for how can any man
have more than one, seeing that he is born once and
dies once ? The blushing Uncommercial stands
corrected, and amends the formula. Pondering en-
sues, two or three wrong answers are offered, and
Cymbals strikes up " Six !" but doesn't know why.
Then modestly emerging from his Academic Grove
of corduroys appears the fifer, right arm extended,
right leg foremost, bump irradiated. " Twelve, and
two over !"—Dickens's "All the Year Bound."

The Traveller for a large commercial house, he insists, is

In the hot summer weather he recommends the Londoner
to indulge in a morning's trip to the Serpentine.

An Irishman's fatherland, says he, is, of course, Patria.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter has the following :—" Since the
incident at Dantzic, the Prince Royal of Prussia
has declined all official receptions. That abstention,
however, has not prevented his Royal Highness's
aide-de-camp from being revoked, in consequence
of the speech. A similar measure will, it is expected,
be exercised against the Prince's private counsellor,
M. Dunker. It tlso appears that the Government
is not satisfied with punishing those who are in the
immediate presence of the Prince ; his former secre•
tary, M. Mayer, who was a short time back called
to Berlin to fill the office of private secretary to the
Queen, has been requested to send in his resigna-
tion, It is Count de Bistnark who has suggested
all those measures, and to him is also attributed the
intention of exercising judicial prosecutions against
the persons who signed the protest relative to the
ordinance against the press."

The following is a specimen of the warnings given
to the press in Prussia ; it has been received by the
Westphalian Gazette, published at Hagen :
" Considering that in the review of a literary
work the Westphalian Gazette designates the Prus-
sian constitution as a masterpiece,' which is evi-
dently said in an ironical sense; considering also
that the Gazette, in sketching the history of Charles
X., and the Revolution of July, openly pointed out
to the people a revolutionary course of action, and
disobedience to the laws, a warning is hereby in
consequence given it."

The Gazette of Northern Germany of the 15th
states that the relamation made to the Minister of
the Interior by the editors of Voss's Gazette, the
National Gazette, the People's Gazette, and the
_Reform, against the warning given to those jour-
nals on account of their declaration, has been re-
jected as unfounded.

THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY•

Yesterday the 89th anniversary meeting of this society
was held at the Society's rooms, Trafalgar-square.
The meeting was presided over by Earl Fowls, who in
opening the business expressed his gratification at the steady
progress of the society, and the great advantages it had be-
stowed on the community at large.
Mr. LAMBTON T. H. YOUNG, the secretary, then read
comprising 245 persons, was brought
u t
thoseurmg
when taken out of the water. Twenty-three of this number
the report of the committee for the past y ear, which stated
that during that period 217 cases of rescuing or attempted
fe
unrescdeuretfhmeninodtimce of thewning society. Of these 226 had been

were cases of attempted suicide. The society had, d '

were instrumental in saving life from drowning 12 silver
medals, 74 bronze medals, 11 thanks of the society on vel-
lum, 61 on parchment, and 88 pecuniaryrewards of various
amounts. During the past summer no less than 174,650
persons were estimated to have bathed
in the Serpentine
during the hours appointed for morning and evening bath-
ing. Out of this large number 28
casualties
only one of them proved fatal, while 14
otherccinurredi

fulness occurred buts
had been saved from committing suicide through the atch-
boatmen.
Mr. and prompt exertions of the society's
Mr. BARER the treasurer, next submitted the financial
statement for the year, from which it appeared that the
total receipts had been 3 £l,4 26s Bd, and the expenditure
£1,382 12s 2d, leaving a balance in hand of £49 14s 6d.
He said
it had been always the practice of the society to
allow the landlord of any public house who permitted any
person apparently drowned to be brought into the house for
the purpose of resuscitation the sum of £l, and he consi-
dered it right to state that in May last, a young woman
having been taken to the house of Mr. T. Budgen, of the
Falcon, Dowirate Wharf, on the sum stated being, as usual,
sent to him he returned the same as a donation to the
society. He ought also to state, for the benefit of the public,
a singular circumstance which had occurred in connection
with that case. When the young woman was taken to Mr.
Budgen's, apparently lifeless, a sailor, who happened to be
in the house, applied his mouth to hers, and sucked the
water out of her stomach, when animation immediately
returned.
The report and the financial statement having been ac-
cep, ted the officers of the society were re-elected, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair-
man.

an incompetent and unpopular General, and allows
the miserable personal pride of two or three mem-
bers of the Administration to prevent the re-appoint-
ment of M'Clellan, the only General who enjoys
the confidence of the majority of the people and the
love of the army, and who proved at Antietam that,
if he could not take the Southern, he could cer-
tainly save the Northern capital. The state of
affairs at all points deepens in interest. Every one
expects great events to occur during the month,
and if among them there should have to be recorded
the triumphal entry of General Lee into the city of
Washington, and a proclamation to the Northern
people offering them peace on condition of the re-
cognition of Southern independence, it is extremely
likely, in the present temper of the Northern people,
that their surprise at such a turn of events would
be very much greater than their dissatisfaction.

APTOMMAS'S BARDIC FESTIVAL.

The Festival given by Mr. Aptommas on Tuesday at the
Hanover-square Rooms attracted a very numerous and
fashionable audience. The harp performances, of course,
were the principal feature in the concert. In addition
to Mr. Aptommas we had as performers on the same in-
strument Messrs. Engel, Hargitt, F. Chatterton, Cheshire,
Ellis Roberts, Leyland, Lockwood, George, Mdm. Dryden
and Miss E. Ward. The vocalists were Mdlle. Parepa:
Miss Wynn, Herr Richardt, Wilbye Cooper, and Mr. Lewis
Thomas. 'With such a company the performance could not
fail to prove highly attractive, and the whole of the pieces
were listened to with evident gratification. In the first
part Miss Ward played a solo on the piano with much bril-
liancy, and bids fair to become a most accomplished pianist.
The great feature, however,of the festival was the perform-
ance upon eight harps, entitled " Sounds from Home,"
which is thus described in the programme. This
bardic fantasia was suggested by the characteristic
pecularity of the melodies to which it owes its origin. Pre-
ceded by a short introduction (representing the stillness of
the night), the piece opens with " The Dawn of Day," the
development of which is designed to illustrate the gra-
dual approach of daylight, the appearance of the sun upon
the horizon, and ultimately its glorious rising. The men
of Harlech, in the distance, are now heard marching to the
battle-field, from whence after a fierce engagement they
return victorious, and enter on the festivities, the scenes of
which it ;is attempted to pourtray in the treatment of the
concluding melody.
The performance was a complete triumph, and called
forth the loudest demonstrations of applause. A selection
of Irish and Scotch melodies concluded the festival,
which must be classed high amongst the concert successes
of the season,

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 19.—The yarn market to•day
has continued to exhibit the same quietness of tone
which was experienced on Tuesday. There is no
particular demand for any quarter, and what
business has been effected today has consisted of
very limited sales for various markets, including
the home trade. The small scale on which busi-
ness is doing has a natural tendency to depress
prices. Many spinners being well engaged con-
tinue to exhibit a good deal of indifference about
orders at anything under full prices ; but others
being in a less fortunate position are less firm, and
consequently there is some irregularity in the rates
at which some descriptions of yarn may be pur-
chased. In cloths also there is no change worthy
of notice since Tuesday. There is an absence of
fl
demand, which cause the market to be very at ;
but it is not worse than at the commencement of
the week. There is no gseneraanlufagoitruinregrawhaeyin in
