ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.
A second morning concert of vocal and instrumental
music was given at this theatre yesterday. The Pei
ormance commenced with Rossini's Stabat Mater"
which was executed with all the effect to be expected
from the distinguished artistes, the magnificent chorus,
and incomparable orchestra of that establishment. Th 6
opening quartette, " Stabat Mater dolorosa," was sung
by Mdlles. Alboni and Corbari, Signors Lavia, and•
ragliafico. Mario, who was prevented by illness from
appearing at the last concert, gave the " Cujus Animase
in his usually unrivalled style. This was followed by
the duetto, " Quis est Homo?" sung with delicious effect
by Madame Ronconi and Mdlle. Alboni, and which wad,
greatly applauded. The "Pro Peccatis " and " Eia
Mater," by Tamburini, were given with great effect. The
quartett, " Sancta Mater," by Alboni, Corbari, Mario,
and Tagliafico, obtained its just meed of applause. The
airs, "Fac ut Portem," by Alboni; and " Inflammatus,'
by Grisi ; and the quartett, " Quando Corpus," by Grist,
Alboni, Mario, and Tamburini, were each encored. The
finale, " Amen," was splendidly executed. A grand
miscellaneous concert succeeded, of which the following
is the programme:—

Overttire----Leonora
Duo, Signor Marini and Signor Rovere,
"La di lei storia." (Chiara di Rosenberg) Ricci,
Aria, Madame Ronconi, " Havvi un Dio. '
(Maria di Bohan) Donizettlits
Duo, Madame Persiani and Signor Salvi
" Egli m'odia." (Lucia di Lammermoor) Donizetti..
Seranata, Signor Mario and Coro, " Corn
I gentil." (Don Pasquale) Donisetti.
Due, Madame Grisi and Mille. Alboni,
" Ebben ato ferisci." (Semiramide) Rossini.
Romanaza, Signor Ronconi, " Ah non avea
pia lagrime. ' (Maria di Rudenz) Donisetti.
Terzetto, Signor Salvi, Signor Rovere, and
Signor Marini, " Papatacci."
(L'ltaliana in Algieri) Rossini.
Beethoven's Grand Battle Sinfonia Beethoven.
The execution of the opening overture by Costa's band
was truly magnificent. The trumpet point, played be.
hind the scenes, and the crescendo passage for the.
violins, were most effective; an encore was loudly anti
deservedly called for, but was declined. The. duet by
Marini and Rovere was sung with great spirit and hu.4
mour. Madame Ronconi sung the aria allotted to her
with much effect, and was deservedly applauded.
Madame Persiani's and Signor Salvi's duet, from Lucie'
di Lammermoor, was rendered with considerable taste
and skill. Mario's serenade, " Com' igentil," was sung
with his usual taste, and called forth an instantaneous
encore. But the gem of the entire performance was the
celebrated duet from Semiramide, by Grisi and Albonit
" Ebben a to ferisci," which was executed in suet &
manner as to produce a perfect furore. The
Giorno d'Orrore !" was rendered with the most ex...
quisite beauty and expression, and was truly er
treat for the musical amateur, such as is rarely
to be experienced. Ronconi's Romanza was very eta
pressively given, and he was called back at its concitv
sion to receive the plaudits of the audience. The trid
" Papataci," by Salvi, Marini, and Rovere, was sung
with much effect. Illness, it was understood, prevented'
Madame Persiani from singing the air which was an-
nounced for her from L'Elisir d'Amore. The perform-
ance concluded by the " Battle Sinfonia," which, such
as it is, was superbly executed by the orchestra, accom-
panied by two military bands, arranged on the stage.
As a composition we cannot say much in its praise ; and
the only portions which seemed to interest the audience
were the " Rule Britannia" at the commencement, and
"God save the Queen" at the conclusion, which was•
magnificently performed by the three bands, and atwhicb
the entire audience rose simultaneously. The house was-
literally crowded in every part.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—A novel
and attractive exhibition took place at these gardens
yesterday. The Siege of Gibraltar was represented by
day-light for the gratification of the juvenile visitors.:
The idea was a happy one, and the effect produced on
the occasion was much finer than might have been ex-
pected, showing if anything that a daylight performance
has advantage over that given at night.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The first juvenile file of
the season was given here on Thursday night. The
genial weather, with a well-arranged bill, collected a
large amount of visitors ; and, in addition to the pro-
gramme, the Turner Family three interesting chil-
dren—played some popular compositions on the harp,
violin, and violoncello. The equestrian talent of
Madame Caroline elicited great applause in the Rotunda,
Theatre ; added to which were the fireworks, concert,
and illuminations. The latter were on a scale of unusual
splendour.
DEATH OF A CHILD BY SWALLOWING A CHERRY.'
STONE.—On Thursday afternoon the following extraor-
dinary and fatal case was admitted into St. Thomas's.
Hospital. It appears that the deceased, a remarkably
fine girl, about seven years old, named Emily Harriet
Durban, whose friends reside in George-street, Croy-
don, on the morning of Friday last, when eating some
fruit, accidentally swallowed a cherrystone, and on the
following day, feeling some ill effects in consequence,
complained to her parents, and Mr. Bird, the surgeon,
of Croydon, was called, and tried every means to extract
the stone, but without success. The little creature grew
worse, and ultimately, at the recommendation of Mr.
Bird, she was conveyed to the above hospital, and placed,
under the charge of Mr. Barnewell, one of the resident
medical officers, who, with the assistance of the dresser,
was about to introduce the probe, but upon seeing this
the deceased made a sudden turn, and was seised with
convulsive efforts, and expired in a few moments. The
inquest will be held this evening.
ALLEGED MURDER IN SEVEN DlALS.—Yesterday
afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charing-cross
Hospital on the body of Edward Meads, aged 36, a brass
finisher, who, it was alleged had died from the effects of
a stab inflicted by a woman named Grantom, with whom
he cohabited. The particulars of the case have recently
appeared in the police reports. From the evidence it
appeared that the deceased and the woman had been in

the habit of quarreling, and that on MOndairtrsi;figit
was heard in the room they inhabited, after which Mary
Grant= came out of it with a knife in her hand, and the
deceased was found with a severe wound in his side. Ar.•
George M. Young described the nature of the injury the
deceased had received. He died at half-past two on
Wednesday morning. The deceased told witness that
his wife did not stab him, but that he did it himself by
falling on the knife he held in his hand. The jury re-
turned a verdict of "manslaughter" against Mary Ana
Grantom, alias :Yleads.

THE MI/WIELD MURDERS.—Various rumours have'
this week been circulated respecting the nature of the
confession offered to be made by M'Cabe. It has been
supposed by some that it would implicate one or more
females, while others assert that it would implicate Reid
as the man M'Cabe saw when he called at the house. Of
course no reliance can be placed upon such statements.
The police are still active in the prosecution of inquiries,
with a view to strengthen the chain of evidence at the
trial of the prisoners. Some additional evidence of
importance, it is said, has been already obtained. The
Secretary of State has offered a reward of 1001. and her
Majesty's pardon to any person, except the real mur-
derer, who will give information that will convict the
perpetrator or perpetrators of the horrid crime.
FATHER MATHEW.—The following are the par-.
titulars relating to her Majesty's grant of 3001. a year to
the Apostle of Temperance:—" A committee has been
lately formed in London, consisting of his Grace the
Duke of Norfolk, Duke of Leinster, Earl of Arundel
and Surrey, Marquis of Sligo, Marquis of Lansdowne,
Earl of Stanhope, Earl of Wicklow, Earl of Fitswilliarn,
Lord J. Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Monteagle, Ste.,
for the purpose of creating a fund sufficient to purchase
an annuity of 8001. a year for this public benefactor, to
enable him to continue his unceasing exertions and most
useful labours for the welfare of millions. Her Most
Gracious Majesty the Queen, anxious to aid in the ac-
complishment of so desirable an object, has been pleased
to grant the sum of 3001 per annum towards this
praiseworthy object. With such an example of munifi-
cence before those who are anxious and able to promote
so desirable an object, we trust that the labours of the
noblemen and gentlemen who form the committee will
be speedily brought to a close in the realisation of the
contemplated fund."—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—Lieut. J. D. Telfit
has been appointed officer of the company of Gentlemen
Cadets, vice Talbot, promoted ; Captain J. Travers hail
been appointed assistant inspector of practical artillery;
and Lieut. J. F. Travers instructor of surveying.
A CIDER DRINKER.—An old man, named Abra-
ham Hillard, approaching fourscore, who has lived in the
family of the Holmans, large farmers, at Glastonbury,
for the last forty years, as farm bailiff, has had through
the whole of that time one gallon of cider daily allowed
for his own drinking, from his master's stores, and
though he is now too aged to work, he is still seen going
for his favourite beverage. The father of the present
Mr. Holman, at his death, left in his will Bs. per week,
to be given to this faithful servant as long as he lived ;
this he (the old man) regularly has been paid, and his
daily potation of cider drawn for h:m also; during that
forty years this man must have received 14,600 gallons
or 270 hogsheads 20 gallons, which at 40s. the hogs-
head, would have realised 540/. and upwards.—Snerborne
Journal.
