QUEEN'S CONCERT ROOMS,
HAN OVER-SQUARE.
Mademoiselle Isa Prudence, the celebrated somnam-
bulist (or, as she is termed, " Ecstatic"), made her third
appearance in these rooms yes►terday afternoon, assisted
by Mdlle. Herminie Laurent, exhibiting her extraordi-
nary powers in Oneiromancie Artistique, or the repre-
sentation of historical, mythological, and imaginary
attitudes connected with painting, sculpture, and the
dramatic art, by transmission of ideas effected through
the mere agency of the will. Whatever degree of credit
may be attached to the mesmeric art, the performance
was in every respect an extraordinary and interesting
one. If, as was asserted, the only means of communi-
cating the knowledge of what the young lady was re-
quired to express, was by the mere act of volition
on the part of the magnetiser, it was, indeed,
most wonderful, and would go far to confirm
the truth of all that has been claimed on behalf
of the art. If, on the other hand, there was any decep-
tion, and we confess that we could not with the closest
scrutiny detect anything that could be supposed to
border on it, Madlle. Prudence must be an actress of
great and varied power, who would achieve a triumph in
the higher branches of the drama. The most inert-
du!ous, however, were completely baffled. The greatest
facility was given to every one to inspect closely the
performance. Any person desiring it was permitted to
ascend the temporary stage, and to stand at the side of
the parties, and although many trials were made there
was not a single failure, neither was there the slightest
appearance of any agency by which she could have ob-
tained the knowledge of what was required at her hands.
Many distinguished scientific gentlemen and several
ladies were in attendance at the appointed hour. Shortly
after Mademoiselle Prudence entered, attired in the
Druidical costume, a chaplet of oak leaves round her
head, and a loose white dress, with the arms quite bare,
and each surrounded with two wide armlets of gold, one
at the wrists, and the other at the upper part of the arm.
She is a remarkably fine young woman, with a most ex-
pressive countenance and fair complexion. She seated
herself immediately in an arm-chair, and the mag-
netising at once commenced—within a few minutes she
was thrown into a deep sleep. Dr. Laurent then stepped
forward and invited any person present to write en a
slip of paper the subject he desired to have illustrated.
Very many availed themselves of the permission thus
afforded, and in every instance it was most effectively ex-
pressed. Madlle. Laurent held in her hand the paper con-
taining the subject, and stood quite behind the chair on
which the young lady was seated; in a few seconds she rose
and advanced a few paces, and assumed the required at-
titude and expression. Many of the illustrations were
loudly applauded ; " the Caressing a little Child,"
the first that was demanded, was beautifully
given. Perhaps, the best, however, was " the
Gladiator fighting to the death." Her countenance as-
sumed an almost demoniacal expression, when plunging
the sword into the bosom of the conquered enemy.
" The Roman Mother receiving her Son, returning vic-
torious, was also exquisitely rendered, and also " a
Woman caressing a Butterfly, which had settled on her
wrist." The wonderful command which the mesmeriser
exercised over the sleeper was shown by her falling, as if
deprived of all her powers while leaning on one of the au-
dience, at a movement made from behind, her eyes being
bandaged at the time. An exhibition was announced to
take place this evening, at the private residence of the
parties, amidst considerable applause. We have cer-
tainly never witnessed a more surprising exhibition, or
one so perfectly inexplicable, save on the assumption of
the reality of the claims put forward.

EXETER-HALL.
The second performance of Elijah, under the direction of
Dr. Mendelssohn, took place last night, in the presence of
her Majesty and Prince Albert. The hall was crowded to
suffocation. The royal party occupied the gallery at the left
wing, near the orchestra. (For her Majesty's suite, see the
Court Circular.)
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on taking their places,
were received with tumultuous greetings, which they cour-
teously acknowledged by repeated salutations to the crowd.
The bind and chorus then performed the national anthem.®
It would seem that good counsel is not altogether thrown
away upon the Sacred Harmonic Society, to Judge by the
difference between last night's performance and that which
preceded it. Although much more than was done might
have been done in strengthening and purifying the band and
chorus by adding and subtracting where it was necessary,
yet the evidence of painstaking in the general performance
was manifested most agreeably. The choruses, for the
most part, if they did not go perfectly, went far better
than there was reason to anticipate from the unfinished
and clumsy exhibition of Friday week, mid the orchestral
accompaniments demonstrated an amount of extra training
that could only have resulted from a complete and satis-
factory rehearsal. This, we believe, took place yesterday
morning, under the composer's direction. Most of the faults
we noted in our report of the first performance were rectified
last night. The overture was played with spirit and accuracy.
The refrain of the duette and chorus," Lord, bow down thine
ear to our prayer," was highly satisfactory, although there
was still some unsteadiness in the starting of the solo voices.
The passages for the stringed instruments in the magnificent
choruses of the Baalite priests, were now given with the
proper force, and the effect was doubled in consequence. The
corale (quartette), " Cast thy burthen upon the Lord," went
smoothly, and the grand chorus at the end of the first part,
" Thanks be to God," was much more correctly and ener-
getically delivered, though still not up to the mark, owing
to the want of sufficient power in the stringed instruments.

The mistake we mentioned last time in the " Be not
afraid," where the time and measure change, was entirely set
right : the point was taken up admirably. The unaccom-
panied trio, for female voices, " Lift thine eyes to the moun-
tains," produced the same effect as last time, and was sung
much better, the soprano voices being, on this occasion, per-
fectly in tune. As Miss Kirkham is a very young artist,
we are glad to have the opportunity of encouraging
her by a word of approval. The most perfect of all the
choral performances were '• He watching over liraci," a sr rain
of soothing and enchanting melody, and " Beheld, Gad the
Lord passeth by I" one of the grandest pieces of descriptive
music ever composed. The manner in which the gradations
of force, from loud to soft and the converse, were accom-
plished, in the first, demands unequivocal praise; and tic
power and enthusiasm with which the last was rendered are
equally worthy of admiration. In short, the entire perform-
ance was one likely to advance the reputation of the Sacred
Harmonic Society, which has not been always the case of
late. The principal vocalists were Misses Birch, Dolby,
Kirkham, and Duval, Messrs. Lockey, Phillips, Novell°, Peck,
and Smythson. As in the presence of Majesty encores are
not the etiquette, there were not many ; but on three occa-
sions the performance was so excellent, and the music so ab-
sorbing, that the audience forgot their etiquette in
their enthusiasm, and loudly called for the repeti-
tion of the pieces. These were the chorus, " Baal, we
cry to thee;" the trio of angels, " Lilt thine eyes to
the mountains," sung by Misses Kirkham, Dolby, and
Duval ; and the beautiful air, " 0 rest in the Lord," sung by
Miss Dolby. Miss Birch gave the air, " Hear ye, Israel,"
very finely ; and Mr. Lockey's style was chaste and pure in
" Then shall the righteous." Mr. Phillips's first song was
spoiled by the indecision of the orchestra ; but in his second,
" It is enough," he made amends by his pathos and expres-
Sioll. The violoncello points in the song were beautifully
played.
At the end of the performance her Majesty and Prince
Albert, rising to depart, were loudly and repeatedly cheered ;
and, subsequently, a tremendous cheer was given for Dr.
Mendelssohn, whose great work had just been performed.
The nuisance of persons rising to leave before the oratorio is
concluded, and thereby seriously annoying those who are
anxious to hear the whole, was obviated last night by keep •
ing the doors closed until the royal party had taken their de-
parture. Thus the masterpiece of Mendelssohn was listened
to, undisturbed. till the very last note was played. The third
performance will take place next Wednesday.

MOVEMENTS AT THE PORT OF MALTA SINGE
THE 5Th OF APRIL.
The Belleisle arrived from Corfu on the 6th, and is
loading Indian meal for Cork, with which, and some mili-
tary invalids, she will take her departure this week. •
The B _met to, sailed on the Sth to resume her surveying
labuurs in the Archipelago, in the waters of Skyros,
where the Volage (hourly expected from England) will
immediately join her.
The Locust returned from the Piraeus of Athens on
the 13th, but brings no intelligence of importance touch-
ing the Turco-Greek question. In all probability the
Sultan will detain all Greek vessels at the Dardanelles
until the required satisfaction be given to him, which
will tend to distress the ports of the continent of Italy
and France requiring corn, of which the vessels of
Greece are the chief carriers from the Danube and the
Black Sea.

The Ariel returned from Alexandria at ten o'clock last

night, bringing the India passengers and snail, with the
heavy portion of which the Ripon (whose defects have
been made good) will be dispatched this evening to
Southampton; whilst the Spitpire will carry on to Mar-
seilles this morning the mails for England by the over-
land route.
The Flamer arrived last night from Patras and the
lonian Islands; and the Tagus, from Southampton, and
the Volcano, with the overland mail from Marseilles, are
hourly looked for. The Arid will carry on the latter to
Alexandria.
The Louisa cutter yacht sailed yesterday for the Levant.
The Mutine will probably be ordered to Smyrna,
where, for some time past, there has been no British
ship-of-war stationed.
A line-of-battle ship, supposed to be French, passed
Malta for the eastward on the 11th.

Mr. Joseph Whitworth, the inventor of the street-
sweeping machine, submitted last week, at Paris, a model of
the machine to the Minister of Public Works, the Prefect of
Police, Marshal Soult, M. Arago, and several of the savans,
as well as to several members of the Muncipal Council, all of
whom were much pleased with its great simplicity and effi-
ciency; and its early introduction into France may be ex-
pected, as its services are much needed, and the system of
cleaning now employed, and the formation of the streets, are
both well adapted for its application.
MASTER MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY:*
Yesterday evening the twelfth annual meeting of the mem-
bers of the above society was held at the Bridge House Hotel,
Southwark, to receive the report for the past year, to elect
officers, and on general business. G. Scovel, Esq., treasurer,
in the chair. Mr. Bates, secretary, read the report, which
stated that although large amounts had been paid in cases
of deaths, and large amounts awarded in other cases, which
has diminished the capital, the deficiency
.may be accounted
for by the number of members on foreign voyages whose
subscriptions are unpaid. The number of registered members
are now 1,104. The amount received during the past year
was 1,4901. 7s. 6d.; drawn from the National Debt Office
6061. Is. 2d., and balance in hand last year 1,0511. 6s. Id.,
making a total of 3,147/. 14s. 9d. The claims arising from
deaths by natural causes and accidents, loss of life at sea,
shipwrecked members, and partial losses, amounted to
1,6941. 65., which, with 500/. recently invested, leaves
balance in the hands of the treasurer of 8401. ss. 9d. The
Society has now invested 6,0291. 9s. 7d. During the So-
ciety's a-
ciety's existence it has distributed 10,5411. 1 Is., being
5,880/. to the widows and children, 3,8051. to shipwrecked
members, and 8561. Ils. for partial losses sustained at sea.
The report was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be
printed, and the usual routine business being gone through,
thanks were given to the chairman, and the meeting
broke up.
EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A Boy BY FIRE.
Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. W. Payne, at
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of William Parsons
Ellis, aged nine years, who was burned to death under the
following circumstances : —lt appeared from the evidence that
the deceased, whose father is a waiter at the London Tavern,
resided with his parents at No. 2, Fordham's-grove, Isling-
ton. The deceased had for a length of time been under the
treatment of a surgeon for a disease which might one day
cause him to crave for victuals. On Monday morning last,
about three o'clock, his father was awoke by hearing him
walking about the next room to him, where he slept alone,
and, calling to him, he became quiet. In about five minutes
afterwards, however, deceased screamed violently, and on
his father going to the apartment he discovered deceased
running about writhing in agony, his night shirt (with
the exception of the sleeves, w hich were then in flames)
nevi:wheels- lecat..e.ausislef els- off his Person. Having beets
wrapped in a blanket, and oils applied t - FriVoiltids, 'a - -
surgeon was subsequently called in, by whose advice he was
removed to the above hospital, where lie sank and died on
the following morning of the frightful injuries received.
The father of the deceased, in his evidence, stated
that from the fact of finding a candle burning on the dresser,
and the door of the cupboard over it open, with the re-
mainder of the Sunday's dinner disturbed on the dish, he
had no doubt that deceased had got out of bed, and, getting
on the dresser, was in the act of helping himself to food,
when his shirt, wafting near the candle, ignited. The jury,
having commented on the singular and melancholy facts of
the case, returned a verdict of -4 Accidental death.'r
THE SPIRIT TRADE.—Yesterday a deputation of
wholesale and retail spirit-dealers had an interview with
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of pre-
senting a memorial, very numerously signed, praying for an
assimilation of the bonded system applicable to spirits dis-
tilled in England, Scotland, and Ireland, to that of colonial
aril foreign spirits. Mr. Ireland (Governor of the Incorpo-
rated Society of Licensed Victuallers), Mr. Kasley, a past
Governor, and Messrs. Homer, Bingley, Gurney. and Ste-
vens, who attended, represented to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, that concurrence with the prayer of the me-
morialists would produce a competitive market for British
spirits, a great desideratum both for the trade and the pub-
lic; that British spirits, like foreign, would improve in
bond ; that the monopoly of a few distillers, having a limited
class interested, would be destroyed, and prices be thereby
cheapened, to the benefit of the consumer and the advan-
tage of the revenue, and that there would also be produced a
greater uniformity of rates, by the natural inducement to
distil when corn and sugar were cheap, and a consequent re-
duction of demand for those articles when scarce and dear.
Without denying the preceding deductions, Sir Charles
Wood at once admitted the cogency of the last, and, after
asking several questions arising out of the subject, and
having received the information sought, assured the deputa-
tion that he would take into his serious consideration their
request. It was also named to him, that whilst the deputa-
tion felt highly gratified at finding that Mr. Moffatt had a,
Bill before the House fur the object they had in view, the
memorial of the trade had been determined on without con-
ferring with that gentleman.
SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—AU accident
arising from the employment of a horse accustomed to a par-
ticular mode of working, occurred on Tuesday morning, on
the London-road, near Gad -hill, between Gravesend ant
Rochester, by which a poor fellow lost his life. The deceased,
Thomas Williams, a labourer employed on the works in pro-
gress for completing a double line of rail for the South-

metro-
politan hospitals, and for which purpose a van was procured,
and one of the horses used on the works was employed in the
conveyance. This horse, it appears, was what is technicallyload
termed "a tip-horse," ono employed in conveying the
to where it is to be shot out, and tutored in his labour; on
arriving at the spot he instinctively jumps to one side, in order
to " tip his load. On descending Gad's-hill the vehicle
pressed upon his haunches, and taking this for the accus-
tomed signal he skipped aside, upset the vehicle, and the
unfortunate patient was killed on the spot. An inquest was
held on the body, before J. Dudlow, Esq., coroner for Kent,
on Thursday, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned.
Deceased was a single man, thirty-two years of age.

ILLICIT2S. DISTILLERY.—A seizure
of an illicit distillery was effected yesterday by the police,
in a very private-looking dwelling-house, No. 12, Eden-
grove, Holloway. The police constables effected an en-
trance at the back of the house, and in a lower room
found a distillery completely fitted up, with the still at
full work, and running off strong spirits. A quantity of
molasses wash was prepared for working, and everything
was in readiness to dispatch it from the premises as soon
as it was reduced to spirit. The stock of spirit seized was
small. The fermented wash was destroyed, but the rest of
the seizure was conveyed to the Excise warehouse, in Broad-
street.
