MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS.
THE MOZART NIGHLI.

A selection from the most dramatic and universal
of all composers formed the attraction of the bill last
night, and sufficed to crowd the theatre at a very
early period. The vocal specimens consisted of the
"Deli vieni," from the " Nozze di Figaro," charm-
ingly sung by Madlle. Florence Lancia ; and the
" Gli angui d'lnferno," from the " Zauberfiote,'
delivered with surprising force by Madlle. Carlotta
Patti. The instrumental portions were the "Con-
certo in D minor," for the piano, ably performed by
Mr. George Russell, the overture to " Idomeneo,"
and the unrivalled " Jupiter " symphony, compris-
ing its four movements—" Allegro Vivace, Andante
Cantabile, Minuetto Allegretto, and Finale Allegro
Motto," the execution of which alone was a suffi-
cient feature of the night, and served to place the
powers of the band, as well as of its skilful con-
ductor, in a light of the highest eminence.

POETRY IN A WORD.--One of the most exquisite
touches in the whole range of Mr. Tennyson's poetry, mars
a recent critic, is to be found in the description of Merlin
under the influence of Vivien, where it is said--
"The pale blood of the wizard at her touch
Took gayer colours, like an opal warm'd."
This expression, "like an opal warm'd," is, adds the re-
viewer, perhaps unsurpassed.

Markets. Sugars have been in good demand, at
full rates. Coffee has continued in active request,
while moderate transactions have been recorded in
tea, cocoa, and rice, at late quotations. The tallow
market has been dull, and prices for both present

tendency.

decrease has taken place in the cash hi hand of the
executive to the extent of £573,333, of £240,000
in the bills discounted, of £790,000 in the current

Only a limited amount of business has been
negotiated to-day in the market for the English

on the part of speculators have been very evenly
balanced, the tendency of prices has indicated
rather lees buoyancy, probably in consequence of
lower prices on the Paris Bourse, Consols are

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A painful sensation
has been recently occasioned at Hampton Court and its

theth absence of the gentleman who accompanied him, from
theouParapet at the end of the canal, where the water,
of thou; apnarently only two or three feet deep, is in reality
great depth. As soon as his disappearance was known
a search was made, but the body was not discovered for
nearly two hours,
