OXFORD MUSIC HALL.

Mr. Viotti Collins, the accomplished violinist,
has joined the company at this hall as solo player.
This is a further proof of the growing importance
of this hall. The elite of the profession are gra-
dually making approaches, and we may expect
shortly to find other first-rate artists thus absorbed
Mr. V. Collins plays the' Carnival de Cuba," and
many other brilliant and popular solos, in all o
which he excites a furore.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

The supply of beasts on offer here to-day being some-
what extensive, and the attendance of buyers by no means
numerous, the beef trade was in a depressed state, at a de-
cline in the quotations, compared with Monday, of from
2d to 4d per 81b. The very best Scots sold at 4s 10d per
Slb. Sheep, the show of which was moderately good,
changed hands slowly, at late currencies. We have to re •
port a dull inquiry for calves, at about stationary prices.
Pigs and mulch cows were very dull, but not cheaper.

A convention has been proposed to foreign Go.

age and expedite foreign mails.

President Lincoln urges the early completion of
the Pacific railroad, and recommends the favour-
able action of Congress on projects for enlarging
the great canals in New York and Illinois. The
military and commercial importance of enlarging
the Illinois and Michigan canals is presented in a
report to the Secretary of War.

In accordance with the purpose expressed in the
second paragraph of the emancipation proclama-
tions
of September last, President Lincoln call the
attention of Congress to what may be called com-
pensated emancipation. He then argues upon the
impracticability of disunion, and says :
There is no line straight or crooked suitable
for a national boundary upon which to divide.

THE FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT

NEAR BARNSLEY.

At an early ho'ir on Sunday morning the water
suddenly ceased going down the shaft. It was then
found that the water had forced its way under the
bed of the sluice. This however, appeared to be of
little importance, as it was evident enough wetter
had already entered the workings to the dip boards,
the seat of the fire, for the thermometer on being let
down the surface shaft indicated that the tempera.
tui es as not greater than that in theopen air. At
9 15 a.m., it was 55 deg. in the cupola, and 45 deg.
in the downcast shaft. At half-past 12 another ob-
servation was made, when the thermometer regis-
tered exactly the same. During the whole of Sun-
day the vicinity of the works was visited by thou-
sands, a great number of persons having arrived by
train from Leeds, Manchester, 8.z.c., but no one was
allowed to enter the gates.
On Monday there was a good attendance of the
relatives and others of the deceased men, and a good
deal of dissatisfaction was expressed at there being
no appearance of anything being done to descend
the shaft. The temperature of the cupola, as well
as of the downcast shaft, was the same as when
tested on Sunday. In fact, for the last three or
four days, there has been little or no variation in it.
The water still continues to trickle gently into the
pit. About £6OO has been subscribed towards the
relief of the sufferers.

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY.

When the London Sacred Harmonic Society,
many years ago, began to give the sublime ora-
torios of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and others
in Exeter Hall, under the able—it may be, ill-
requited—management of Mr. Surman, the musical
public fancied the ne plus ultra of such perform-
ances had b9en reached. Certainly, Surman's band
and chorus formed a striking contrast to those of
George Frederick Handel, the immortal composer
of the Messiah, fain to borrow a couple of kettle-
drums from the Tower to give effect to his chef
d'eeuvre. Surman won well-merited praise, and
sustained it for many years; perhaps he is like
Handel himself now, taking a turn among the cho-
ruses. Then came "The Sacred Harmonic Society,"
with Costa, a different man altogether as compared
with Surman, yet both " pointing upwards." Costa
in Exeter Hall with his baton as a fie'd marshal;
we might venture to say that, as a conductor, he
cannot be excelled. Mr. Costa has achieved won-
ders in conducting the sacred compositions referred
to ; he is still great, though he too is meeting with
a rival likely to cause him to look to his laurels. The
columns of The Sun have borne truthful testimony
to the musical genius and acquirements of Mr. G.
W. Martin, to the sterling character of his prize
glees and madrigals, for which he has been long
known, and to his choir of which he is the founder
and director. It is first-rate, consisting of nearly
700, mostly all fresh and well-trained voices care-
fully balanced; brought together thus without stint
the unexampled choruses of " The Messiah" have
justice done to them. This was eminently the case
last night at Exeter Hall. The principal vocalists
were Miss Banks, Miss Palmer, the most gifted and
accomplished contralto of the day, Mr. Sims Reeves,
the unsurpassed tenor, and Mr. Santley, though
last, not least in the musical estimation. The orga-
nist was Mr. Boardman. Mr. Martin conducted.
Mr. Sims Reeves was in splendid voice, and sang
in the finest manner ; he was warmly encored in the
morceau, at the commencement of the second part.
The famous chorus, " For unto us a child is born,"
was another encore, and most deservedly so. Miss
Palmer at once warmed the auditors by her
execution of the air and chorus, "Oh thou
that tellest." Miss Banks was almost equally
successful, especially in the exquisite air, "How
heautilut," the recitative, " There were shep-
herds," and the air, " Rejoice greatly." Mr.
Santley gave his music like a careful and well-
educated musician as he is; " The trumpet shall
sound," with Harper's unequalled obligato, was
magnificent. The Hallelujah Chorus was rendered
in a style worthy of the sacred theme. The violins.
which Handel knew and appreciated so well, aided
much in the completeness of a performance redound-
ing to the artistic honour of all engaged in it.
London, England, 1862-12-16

THE ADJOURNED INQUEST.

On Monday afternoon the adjourned inquest on
the bodies of Wm. Davey and Jos. Pickering, who
were killed by the explosion at the Edmund's Main
Colliery on the Bth inst., was held at the Mason's
Arms Inn, Worsborough Dale, before T. Taylor,
Esq., coroner.
Mr. Gill, solicitor, Wakefield, appeared to watch
the proceedings on the part of the relatives of the
men.

There-were also present J. Tyas, Esq., solicitor,
Blrnsiey (one of the partners), J. Brown, Esq_,
mining engineer; J. Stewart, Esq., solicitor (Lund-
hid), fn:- the proprietors; J. Bartholomew, Esq.,and
C. Morten, Esq., her Majesty's inspector of coal
mines for the district.

Joseph Mitchell, jun., of Barley-grove, engineer,
said—the plan now produced is a correct one, show-
ing the whole of the working places of the Ed-
mund's Main Colliery. The depth of the pit from
the top to where the men land is 108 to 109 yards.
The bed of coal worked is known as the Barnsley
bed, and is nine feet thick. The rules produced are
those in force at the colliery, and were so last Mon-
day and for several months before. Benjamin Clegg,
a fire-trier, had charge of the pit on Monday last.
By Mr. Gill—James Siggley was furnaceman,
and had charge of the cupola on that day.
John Parker wished to know what position the
witness held at the colliery.
Mr. Mitchell—l went down as an amateur, but I
have measured in the colliery. lamin my father's
emp'os, and frequently see the plan of the colliery.
To the Coroner—Geo. Lawton was the under-
ground viewer, and his son Henry his assistant.
Mr. Morton—l am requested to ask if the men
are instructed to obey your instructions.
Mr. Mitchell--They are not ; but I have fre-
quently carried messages to Lawton from my
father, who is the managing partner.
Benjamin Clegg, of Worsborough-common, fire-
trier or deputy, said—Went to the pit about 12 at
midnight, on the 7th inst. Went to the dipboard
about three quarters of a mile from the shaft. Found
two 3-feeders of gas in both board gates. The
face from the last slit would be from four to five
yards. The air was carried from the slit by brat-
tieing, The bratticing would be within 5 feet of
tha face. Each board gate would be 8 feet by 63
feet high. The air in the board gates was good
right up to the face. The board gate faces were
clear, with the exception of the blowers. There was
always gas, more or less, in the boards, Did not
see anything from which to apprehend danger up to

NEW YORK, DEC. 3, MORNING.

The report of the Federal Secretary of IVar has
been published. It states that the Federal army at
present numbers 800,000 fully armed and equipped
men. When the quotas are filled the army will
number 1,000,000 men.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy says that
the Federal naval force consists of 323 steamers and
104 sailing vessels, carrying in all 3,268 guns. The
Secretary of the Navy refers to the depredations of
the steamer Alabama, and says :

" The Alabama went forth from England to de-
stroy American shipping, and how far and to what
results this abuse may be carried with impunity
to the Government which tolerates it is a matter of
grave consideration.
"This lawless rover, though built in and sailing
from England, has no acknowledged flag or recog-
nised nationality. Before the Alabama left Eng.
land, the British authorities were informed by the
recognised official agents of the Federal Govern-
ment of her character and purposes. The British
Government, thus evoked, came too late to prevent
her sailing. To what extent, under these circum-
stances, the British Government is bound in honour
and justice to make indemnification for the destruc-
tion of private property, is a question which may
present itself for disposal. It is alluded to now
from a sense of duty towards American commercial
interests, and from the fact that recent intelligence
indicates that other vessels of similar character arc
fitting out in England."

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury has
not yet appeared. It is suppc sad in leading finan-
cial circles that although the Secretary of the
Treasury may recommend a new banking system,
yet the necessities of the Government will compel
it to make a further issue of legal tender currency.
Several resolutions proposed in Congress by the
Opposition members to inquire into unconstitu-
tional arrests, have been voted down.

Congress has adopted a resolution directing the
Committee on Naval Affairs to report on the cheap-
est and most expeditious mode of placing vessels-
of-war on Lake Ontario when the exigency may

Advices from Lyons state that the sale of raw
silk is difficult there. The merchants of Lyons, taking into
consideration the great increase in the quantity of foreign
silk imported into France, have decided, it is said, on build-
ing storehouses for its reception. Japan produces 3,000
bales of silk, being more than the produce of France and
Italy. The East produces 300,000 bales. The greater part
of these silks arrive in London by the Cape of Good Hope,
but it is expected that when the canal across the Isthmus of
Suez is completed (if it ever be completed) silk from the
East will first arrive in France. Some considerable pur-
-1 chases of foreign silk were made at Marseilles last week.

OYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
• President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—VlZ , that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas rerman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIEIY.

When the Loudon Sacred Harmonic Society,
many years ago, began to give the sublime ora-
torios of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and others
in Exeter Hall, under the able—it may o, ill-
requited—management of Mr. Surman, the musical
public fancied the ne plus ultra of such perform-
ances had been reached. Certainly, Burman's band
and chorus formed a striking contrast to those of
George Frederick Handel, the immortal composer
of the Messiah, fain to borrow a couple of kettle-
drums from the Tower to give effect to his chef
d'oeuvre. Surman won well-merited praise, and
sustained it for many years; perhaps he is like
Handel himself now, taking a turn among the cho-
ruses. Then came "The Sacred Harmonic Society,"
with Costa, a different man altogether as compared
with Surman, yet both "pointing upwards." Costa
in Exeter Hall with his baton as a field marshal;
we might venture to say that, as a conductor, he
cannot be excelled. Mr. Costa has achieved won-
ders in conducting the sacred compositions referred
to; he is still great, though he too is meeting with
a rival likely to cause him to look to his laurels. The
columns of The Sun have borne truthful testimony
to the musical genius and acquirements of Mr. G.
W. Martin, to the sterling character of his prize
glees and madrigals, for which he has been lung
known, and to his choir of which he is the founder
and director. It is first-rate, consisting of nearly
100, mostly all fresh and well-trained voices care-
fully balanced brought together thus without stint
the unexampled choruses of " The Messiah" have
justice done to their:. This was eminently the case
last night at Exeter Hall. The principal vocalists
were Miss Banks, Miss Palmer, the Most gifted and
accomplished contralto of the day, Mr. Sims Reeves,
the unsurpassed tenor, and Mr, Santley, though
last, not least in the musical estimation. The orga-
nist was Mr. Boardman. Mr. Martin conducted.
Mr. Sims Reeves was in splendid voice, and sang
in the finest manner ; ho was warmly encored in the
morceau, at the commencement of the second part.
The famous chorus, "For unto us a child is born,"
was another encore, and most deservedly so. Miss
Palmer at once warmed the auditors by her
execution of the air and chorus, "Oh thou
that tellest." Miss Banks was almost equally
successful, especially in the exquisite air, " How
beautiful," the recitative, " There were shep-
herds," and th 9 air, " Rejoice greatly." Mr.
slntley gave his music like a careful and well-
educated musician as he is; " The trumpet shall
sound," with Harper's unequalled obligato, was
magnificent. ThellallaiujChut us wwasrctidered
in a style worthy of the sacred theme. The violins,
which Handel knew and appreciated so well, aided
much in the completenss of a performance redound-
ing to the artistic honour of all engaged in it.

ALARMING FIRE IN THE STRAND.

At a quarter-past 8 last evening a fire broke out
on the premises of Mrs. Page, shell-fish warehouse,
in the Strand, next door but one to the entrance of
the Adelphi Theatre, causing the greatest excite-
ment throughout the neighbourhood. The report
quickly spread that the theatre itself was on fire,
causing an immense assemblage of people, com-
pletely blocking up not only the Strand itself, but
all the thoroughfares in the locality. It being a
benefit night at the Adelphi for the band fund of
the London and Westminster Rifle Corps, and the
performance of the " Messiah" taking place at
Exeter-hall, the Strand was at the time of the out-
break thronged with carriages, and the confusion
and uproar that took place were almost indescrib-
able. The reserve of the F division of police from
Bow-street, and all the available constables in the
neighbourhood, were brought into request, but it
was some time before anything like order could be
restored. On the arrival of the engines it was
found that the flames had got firm hold of the
upper and back portions of Mrs. Page's premises,
occupied as supper and bedrooms, and were rapidly
extending to the theatre, which stands immediately
in the rear. The danger to the latter building
now became so imminent that the management
deemed it prudent to close the performances. Mr.
Webster informed the audience from the stage that
there was a fire raging close to the theatre, which
rendered it necessary that the house should close at
once, and ho requested them to retire as orderly as
possible. Some alarm was excited, but the house,
which was much crowded, was speedily cleared,
without any accident. The same course was pur-
sued with the company at the Cider Cellars, which
are immediately in the rear of Mrs Page's premises.
In the meantime, the firemen exerted themselves to
the utmost to prevent the spreading of the flames,
and after an hour's labour they were fortunately
successful. The whole of the upper and back por-
tions of the premises of Mrs. Page Were destroyed,
together with the billiard-rooms of Mr. Beckingham
adjoining, on the west side, and the back part of
the house occupied by Messrs. Batt and Co., florists,
on the east, and the Whole of whose premises were
much damaged by water. The theatre was not in-
jured. The fire broke out in the second floor front
bedroom, but from what cause cannot be ascertained.

17 LI N UNITY.

A pamphlet of 143 pages has just appeared in
Paris against the Unity of Italy. It is from the pen
of the once formidable Proudhon, and it is amusing
to see with what delight the clerical journals wel-
come the co-operation of the once-dreaded enemy
of religion, family, property, and Government.
" The brilliant qualities of the controversialist,"
observes the Gazette de France, " are again found
in every one of these bold pages. We think we
hear, while reading them, the trampling of the fiery
courser on the whole mass of annexionist or Uni-
tarian journal. Not an argument of the Piedmon-
tese or Mazzinian politician that is not left in
the shade or unanswered, and that does not find in
the pen of the vigorous athlete a victorious refuta-
tion in the name of right, good sense, and truth."
La France feels proud that the policy it advocates
is also defended " with all the energy and all the
originality of this vigorous mind, in spite of the
difference in their political, philosophical, and reli •
gious convictions. This brochure, which has t. r
title, "La Federation et l'Unite en Italie," is in
great part the reproduction of the two letters which
Proudhon addressed some short time since to Maz-
zini and Garibaldi, augmented by a new commen-
tary on Italian affairs and a letter to the Belgian
press on Italian Unity. "I have never believed in
the Unity of Italy," he begins, " and both on prin-
ciple as well as in a practical point of view I have
always scouted it." In support of his opinion he cites
that of the late Montanelli—who, by the way, was
strongly suspected of Muratist tendencies—of the
historian Ferrari, of General Ulloa, and of Napo-
leon 1., who would not accept of united Italy for
himself, and who, while placing the Iron Crown on
his own brow, gave Tuscany and the other duchies
to his sisters Pauline and Eliza, and the Kingdom
of the Two Sicilies to Murat. He admits Mazzini is
against him, but Mazzini he dismisses somewhat
contemptuously. "He is anti-socialist ; Louis
Blanc and I know something about him, and be-
tween his Republicanism and the Monarchy there
could well be arrangements."
M. Proudhon opposes Italian Unity for reasons
which interest France as well as Europe :

711 E MIDDLE LET/EL INUNDAIION.

Yesterday Sir Fitzroy Kelly, with Mr. O'Malley,
Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe, who are retained as counsel
for the Middle Level Commissioners in the various
actions brought against them by the several land-
holders and occupiers of land whose farms, home-
steads, and crops had been destroyed by the inun-
dations arising from the breaking down of the
sluices and dams and the encroa2hment of the sea,
met, at Lynn, Norfolk. Mr. Ha wkshaw, C E.,
and the various engineers and local authorities,
afterwards proceeded, under most disadvantageous
circumstances, owing to the continuing equinoctial
gales, to view the whole of the embankments, cut-
tings, and sluices which had been constructed by
the Commissioners under the various acts of Parlia-
ment conferring the powers upon them of cutting
but particularly with regard to the cutting opening
into the river Ouse. Nearly the whole body of the
Commissioners, with their engineer and those who
have been supplemented in the office, accompanied
the learned counsel, and pointed out the exact posi-
tion of the works carried out by them, but which
has proved so disastrous—the object of the view
being, that counsel should be well-informed of the
locality on the trial of the forthcoming actions, which
will take place in Westminster Hall at the sittings
after next term.
