ACT It

" Lobgesanig," a Hymn 131Yrai;e (first time of performance
in London)—F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
The noveThes of the evening were Mendelsshon's Hymn of
PrAse, Berlioz, overture, and Ries' Symphony. ,
The Symphony was executed in a manner which-set at de-
fiance all comparison in this country. The veteran Lindley
enchanted the audience with the fine compositions allotted to
him. The finale to Oberon followed, and left a melancholy
impression on our mind, of the cold and withering neglect
which its great author experienced in his latter days.
The Concerto of Kreuzer was most beautifully played by
Mr. lilagrove. If a little more soul, and energy eould be in
fused into this most talented young artist, he would be the
most dhtinguished violinist of the present time.
The performance concluded with the scena from Oberon in
which !Hiss Rainforth who had been unable to, attend in
time displayed great skill and power.
The overture of Berlioz will excite a great variety of criti-
cism ; but nevertheless the Directors deserve great credit for
introducing his writings to an English public.
The " Lobgesank" though a little lengthy in the symphony
potions, is a superb composition. There are gems in it which
must soon make it familiar in every musical family, among
which we would particularize the solo, Miss Rainforth and
chorus, " Praise the Lord, 0 my soul ; all that is in me p d
the
raise
his •ly name. Do nor forget all his benefits." An
charming duet, Miss Rainforth and Miss Williams, and chorus,
" I waited for the Lord; he inclined unto me; he heard my
complaint. Blest are they that put their hope and trust in the
Lord."
Upon the whole, we think this Concert one of the,very finest
we have ever heard, and it afforded us much pleasure to see
the roam crowded. The experiment of last night must be con-
tinued, and the crowning reward of sucwsk
_is sure to follow.
The Concert altogether was well • performed, the room was
crowded to witness the experiment, and we cordially hope that
the attempt to do justice to these great compositions will ulti-
mately be crowned with complete success.

SAFETY OF NIAGARA GAOL.—WC learn by the
Lockport Courier, that a meeting has been held there,
tespecting the alleged insecurity of the county gaol for
the sate keeping of McLeod. It seems all rrasouablc
precautions are, and have been of late, taken to ensure
his safety. The sheriff, one of his deputies, the gaoler,
and two other persons hired for the purpose, keep
watch by turns every night to give the alarm in case
of attack from without or attempt to escape within.
Still the meeting appointed a committee to wait on the
Judges, and request them to give the necesiary order
for his removal to the gaol of some adjacent county less
favourable for his escape.—Rochester Democrat.

' (From the .11'. O. Bulletin, Feb. 16.)
FROM MATAMORAS.—By toe schooner Creole, ar•
rived yesterday, we have received advises from Mata-
moros to the 27th ult. In that port and its vicinity
perfect tranquillity reigned. In the neighbourhood of
Salttllo, however, the inhabitants had been troubled by
incursions of the Camanche Indians, who had stolen
large amounts of properly. It i 3 stated that 10,000
horses and mules were driven away by the bArbartans.
The Indians, it appears, made a simultaneous at ask on
various sections of the infector, apparently with their
whole force. This iri uption had caused General Ark.
to take measures for the general defence. All the
States and Departments invaded had been called on to
furnish tl e'r quotas to the army.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.-0a the lit of January,
President Bustarnente transmitted to Congress his an-
nual n'ssage. Ile congratulates the Congress on the
confirm d existeuce of It .publican institutions in

through revolutionary move meats to overthrow the same.
He coneratel stem them that the relations between
Nlexico' and the European States continue to be those
of peace and amity.
A new treaty is to be made with the Government of
the Brifsh Queen for the suppression of the slave trade.
The President hereves that the return of the Federal
leaders to ther duty as Mexican citizens, will tead to
hasten the period when the depaitinent of Texas shall
become again at integral part of the Republic.
A proposition has been made to establish Tampico as
a free post. Tile Vera Cruz merchants warmly oppose
this plan, and it will probab!y fail. It is stated in one
of the papers that since the Ist of January, 44 vessel:,
exclusive of the English packets, have arrived in the.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 5% per mile,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce
for standard sold, gives an exchange of 95. 28, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25. 374, it follows
that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 425 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of '3l. 17s. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 4%, and
the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 si, it
follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in

Hamburgh. -
The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 per
cent., and the par of exchange between England and Ame-
rica being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange
is 1.58 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest
must be deducted from the above difference.
The English funds have throughout the day been subjected
to fluctuation, bit finally closed a shade better than yesterday.
At one period the market was buoyant through purchases by
speculators for the rise, but the Bank broker appearing as a
seller of two parcels of stock, to the amount of 30,000/., rather
reduced values, inasmuch as these continued operations on ac-
count of the Government tend to create a scarcity of money,
the rate of which is now about 4 per cent.

We have here, as the Editor observes in a
brief preface, " the history of a poor and most
obscure man who rose to opulence and eminence
by his own merits alone." William Hutton, who
is his own biographer, was a bookseller and sta-
tioner of Birming,hanv who died in 1815, at up-
wards of ninety years' of age, and recorded from
time to time the events of his useful and ho-
nourable life, in a style remarkabbelestforits attrac-

MY LIFE, BY AN EX-DISSENTER.
Fraser, London, 1841.
There is a one-sided spirit in this book which
will assuredly not recommend it to the favour of
the more liberal and enlightened class of readers.
High-Churchmen and Tories, to whose pre-
judices it makes a strong appeal, will, no doubt,
be much pleased with it, but, those who are above
the purblind views of party, whether lay or
clerical, will be apt to get disgusted with its
wholesale attacks on the Dissenters. Regarded
as a literary production, the volume possesses
little merit.

.HISTORY OFTNNasA, OLE
London,

The labours of the author of this Life of
Napoleon are now drawing fast to a close, for
lie has reached the period of the battle of
Waterloo, an account of which decisive conflict
is commenced in the present part, and will, we
suppose, be concluded in the next. Of all the
numerous cheap Lives of the French Emperor
-that have appeared since his death, this, by Mr.
Moir Bussey, may deservedly take rank among
the best, for the tone that pervades it is rigidly
impartiabtuid there are abundant proofs through-
out it that the biographer has consulted au-
thentic documents instead of contenting himself
—like so many of his predecessors—with taking
facts on mere hearsay. We could wish, how-
ever, that he had deferred less to the authority
of Razlitt, whose opinions he is fond of quoting,
for on every subject connected with Napoleon,
whose memory he idolized, notwithstanding he
himself was a hater of despotism, Hazlitt is too
apt to be carried Sway by his prejudices ; and
whenever he meets with a strong fact that
tells against his pet hero, he either softens it
off by dint of ingenious sophistry, or, when
that cannot safe'y be done, dismisses it in a few
summary words, as a matter of less moment than
has been generally supposed. A sterling bona
fide Life of Napoleon is yet to be written, and
by no one could such a task be undertaken with
so much propriety as by Colonel Napier, who,
in his succinct and spirited " History of the
Peninsular War," has shown that he possesses
• many of the requisites for the task.

In this Part is contained the entire play of '
the Winter's Tale, together with an "Intro-
ductory Notice"—as the Editor calls it—in which
the numerous beauties of the drama are pointed
out with much taste and perspicuity. The em-
bellishments, as usual, are of superior merit,
and the text is not unduly burdened with notes,
as is the case with several editions of Shakspeare
that were in vogue several years ago. We have
no doubt that, when completed, the work before
us will generally be regarded as the standard edi-
tion of our great dramatist's plays.

PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

Monday night the second concert of the season took place, and
presented features of attraction, which give promise cf brilliant
success. Considering the great power of this orchestra, loud
complaints have been reiterated that the concerts presented
nothing worthy of its high bearing in the musical world—that
the programmes of the evening were a continued routine, and
although we. readily admit that many of the majestic sym.
phonies of Beethoven arc ever fresh, and ever new, sti I a de-
pendence on these and Haydn's, and Mozart's, betokens a lazy
way of performing, the di::,tinguishcd duties which devolve upon

the diractors of this c-lebrated concert.
It. has often beep rs arkml how very inferior the vocal
music at the PhiMM , IL. it most not-be .forgotten
that the sublime dints which the Orclie.tra produces in the
highest order of symphonies usually performed there, riaces
the singer under a most disattvantageous comparison. rhere
are not many vocal compositions that can stand the test, and
there are st•il fewer vocalist; who dare to risk their fame rod
reputation by venturing on the highest order of vocal eompa i-
tion. These are circumstances operating to the disad-ant age
of the Philharmonic, but seldom or ever noticed in extenuation
of any failure ; in the whole concerns, however uttexception-
ab!e, many portions of each may have been.
The concert of last night was an exception to the old rou-
tine, and we hail it as the precursor of a great revival of this
Society.
The orcheitra consisted of about 150 performers, including
a well trained choral band, collected together at an expense of
nearly three hundred guineas.
Great efforts must have been put forth to secure the magni-
ficent result of the evening, for which the Directors deserve not
only the thanks of the subscribers but of the musical world in
general ; and we trust that the public—who seldom overlook
exertions made to deserve their patronage—will so encourage
the Philharmonic as to enable the Society to continue the whole
series of concerts upon the magnificent scale of last night.
Mr. Loder led, and Mr. Lucas conducted. The following is
the programme :

SUGAR.—The dulness in the British Plantation market has
further increased, and the demand has been extremely limited
r all quatties ; indeed, so trifling have been the tran,ae-
tions, not 100 hhds and tierces having been disposed of during
the three market days, that it is difficult to guide prices, and
they must be regarded as nominal, the few boards of Sugar
sold however exhibit a reduction en former, rates of 2s to 3s
per ewt ; the merchants however do not' appear disposed to
submit. to a d cline equal to that which has taken place of late
fur Bengal and Mamitius.
To-clay extreme heaviness prevai'ed in the West India
rraiket, and so trivial were purch,s,s that they are not worth
enumerating; ices cannot be quoted with accuracy. The
total stock of all sorts subject to the 24s duty is naw 17,000

The supply of Cattle was good, and the demand brisk. In
Sheep the supply was rather short, and the demand good. The
supply of Calves was vrry limited, and the trade good. The
supply of Pigs was short, and the trade moderate. Beasts
3,573 ; Sheep 18,886 ; Pigs 314 ; Calves 43. Beef 3s. 6d.

TEA MARKET.
There were very few transactions, and the quotations of
Saturday were unaltered. The prices now appear to have seen
the lowest for the present, and we anticipate a re-action in the
demand ere long, being yet without any. intelligence to con-
firm the accounts received per the last overland mail.
TALLOW MARKET.
The demand was very limited ; and although no material
change could be quoted in prices, it was very difficult to sup-
port them. _ _

HOP MARKET.
There was rather more inquiry after inferior descriptions,
and the market now presents a firm appearance. Good quali-
ties of the growth of last year sold at 101. to 19/. 19s. per cwt.

On Wednesday the 30th ult., a Newfoundland
dog, belonging to Mr. Cameron, Tontine Hotel, Peebles,
captured a fine salmon in the river Tweed in the
following singular manner :_Hector (for such is th .
dog's name) is exceedingly fond of the water ; en murh
so, that whenever he gets loose from his chain, he is off
to the river, and with the greatest industry brings to land
all the drift wood, &c. he can, floating down the stream.
On Wednesday the 30th ult., while thus employed, he was
observed by some boys to dive suddenly under the water,
where he remained entirely out of sight for about half a
minute. When he arose again to the surface he had a
salmon in his mouth, which was struggling violently to es-
cape ; but he held it fast in his capacious jaws, and brought
it safe to land, and Would on no account quit his prize,
until he carried it safe home to his master. The fish was
of the real salmon tribe, and weighed about four pounds.

HATTON-GARDEN.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Francis
Bugler, an elderly man, was put to the bar, charged
with stealing an immense quantity of property belonging
to Mr. Alfred Davidson, a merchant, residing in Grace-
church-street, City.
Inspector Penny, of the G division, stated that at
seven o'clock in the evening the prisoner was seen to
enter a marine store dealer's shop by Police-constable
Maddox, who, suspecting him, took him into custody.
In his poss,,sion were .-)Slbs. weight of copper wire,
witch he said wes his own, and g,ive his address in
Vnitcehapel. On being Uken to the stair n-house,
witness recognized him as the brother of a man who wag
sentenced to transportation two sessions ago for robbing
his master of a 800/. Bank of England note, and who
was apprehended in Birmingham by witness. The
prisoner, on seeing him, said it was no use making
-any further concealment, and he admitted that the
property did not belong to him, at the same time ex-
pressing his regret that he had been led into the connis-
sion of an act which he knew had for ever ruined him, and
he assigned as a reason for committing himself the illness of
his wife, and heavy expenses attendant thereon. Wit-
ness knowing that the prisoner had been twelve years
in the service of Mr. Davidson, immediately called on
that gentlemen, and they went together to search the
prisoner's house, where they found copper wire, pins,
needles, buttons, cards, casts for matches, books, and a
variety of other articles, which were sufficient to stock
a large house to be opened for the sale of such goods.
This property witness removed in several carriages to
the station•house, and a portion of it he now producel
Police-constable Maddox, 40 G, gave corroborating
evidence, and the property having been identified by
Mr. Davidson, the prisoner was fully committed to
Newgate.

you p rmit me to join your ranks ?—( Loud and long con-
tinued cueering.) 1 know surely, I perceive it, that Ire-
land has a multitude of warm friends in this very room.—
(Loud cheers, and cries of " All, all.") Ido not leave
out one ; I said a multitude, but I reckoned all ; and if
the room would contain twice as many, I am convinced
Leeds could produce them. The English Government is
greatly inimical to the Irish.—( Hear, hear, from Mr.
Roebuck.) Multitudes of English Whigs are inimical to
the Irish ; the entire Tory faction, including the dominant
Church, are inimical to the Irish. I hold them all in fell
defiance.—(Tremendous and protracted cheering.) Tne
English Liberal, the true Reformer—Radical, like my-
self—is as determined to do justice to Ireland as I am—
( Vehement cheering)—and I am as ready, on the other
an I, to make as good battle as I can for England. Mr.
O'Connell then sat down amidst loud cheering,
I. D. Russ, Esq., secretary to the Ulster Const.tr-
tional Association, next addressed the meeting.
Mr. Nicirous proposed " The union of the middle and
the working classes," which was received with loud cheers.
SHARMAN CRAWFORD, Esq , responded to the toast.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sharman Crawford's speech,
Mr. COLLTNS alluded with considerable energy to the
subject of the proposed union with the middle and work-
ing classes, and urged that the precise terms of the union
should be perfectly well understood. Let tha middle
classes provse any measure of popular benefit, and it
should receive the support of the Chartists.
JOSHUA BOWER, Esq., in a neat speech, alluded to his
political career, as showing he had always been virtually
an aevacate for the Charter, and had advocated the popu-
lar measures they desired.
Colonel Tirames'iN afterwards spoke, and some other
speeches were delivered, after which the meeting scp :rated.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

STEADMAN V. MORGAN-JUDGMENT-

The only point reserved in this case was as to costs.
The MAsTEa of the ROLLS, on coming into,Court this morning,
stated that he had looked into the amended bill for the purpose of
seeing whether wha t was stated in the answer to the amended bill
formed a efficient ground for giving costs against the defendant.
The case, his Lordship observed, was somewhat singular. The plain.
tiff claimed in the character of a legitimate child. The defeddant;in his
first answer admitted him to be such, hut stated in the answer that
the suit was unnecessary. The plaintiff then amended the bill, and
stated circumstances which in his view rendered the suit necessary;
but at the same time distictly interrogates! the defendant whether
or uo the marriage was a good marriage, and if not for what
reason. Then the defendant in his second answer answered
that, and put the plaintiff to prove that which had been before ad-
mitted. Considering, therefore, that the interrogatory called upon
him to say, why the marriage was not valid, and to explain the cir.
cumstances, his Lordship would make no special order as to costs.

CROSBY V. CHURCH—JUDGMENT,
This case was argued last week, when his Lordship decided
that the defendants, the executor and residuary legatees of the
will of the testator, ought to have retained 1,000/. Three per Cent.
Consols in trust to pay the dividends to the plaintifffor her separate
use, until her youngest child should attain the age of 21. Unfor-
tunately for the defendants, instead of retaining the stock upon
those trusts they transferred it, at an early period after the
testator's death, into the name of the plaintiff, then a married
woman, and she, with her husband, sold and transferred the
principal to a stranger. The plaintiff now called upon the
defendants to replace that stock, and the Master of the Rolls
stated last week that, hard as it was upon the defendants,
she was entitled to that relief. The youngest child had not
attained 21. The other question (upon which judgment was this
day given) was, who was entitled to the dividends during
the minority of the child ? His Lordship thought that in
equity she ought not 'to be permitted, as against the trustees,
to maintain any claim in resp,•ct to the dividends, and on the
fund being transferred into Court, the dividends ought to be paid
to the trustees till further order, with liberty to apply when the
youngest child attained 21.
London, England, 1841-01-25

WOOD V. DITCDINGS,

This case came before the Court upon exceptions taken by the
plaintiff, Sir Matthew Wood, M.P., to the Master's Report, which
Report had overruled the exceptions taken by the plaintiff to the
defendants' answer. As every newspaper reader knows that the
cause of " Wood v. Ilitchings" relates to the will of the late Mr.
James Wood of Gloucester, and is acquainted with the hi.tory of
the same, and as on former occasions we have fully reported this
case, it is unnecessary, by again narrating the circumstances, to
take up that space which will be better occupied by more novel
matter. 'We shall, however, report the judgment of the :haste►
of the Rolls when delivered.

The arguments of Counsel will not be concluded to-day,
The Court will not it to-morrow.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUERN V. TEE INHABITANTS OF BMW/LAWS CASTLE.
In this case a rule had been obtained, calling on the prosecutor
to show cause why the-fine of 30/., imposed upon the defendants,
should not he stayed. It was an action for the non-repair of a
turnpike road, for which it was alleged that the defendants were
liable, and which they had since put into proper repair.
The CounT, after hearing the arguments of Counsel, granted the
rule.

Mr. CRESWFLL moved, on behalf of a party whese name did not
transpire, for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should
not issue to bring up the proceedings of an inquisition taken before
the Coroner fur the County of Lancaster, and shy the party against
whom a verdict of manslaughter had been returned by the Jury
should not be admitted to bail in the country. It appeared
that the death of an infant three weeks old had been caused
by the administration of laudanum ; and before the Coroner
evidence was given that a girl had gone to the shop of
the chemist against whom the verdict had been returned, and
asked for acme Godirey's cordial, and that he gave her lauda-
num. The defendant stated that he had the affidavits
of two persons who were in his shop at the time, and who deposed
that the girl asked for laudanum. Another witness had since come
forward who was also present and who deposed to the same effect.
VT._ .• .• .

Ills application to be admitted to bail in the country was not
founded on the plea of poverty, but upon the manifest injury which
would be the result of taking away a chemist from his business.
The COURT said it had become almost the practice to take bail in
the country in such cases, and granted the rule.
