M. B.MEDICT'S CONCERT.

Last evening M. Buedict gave his. annual'
grand concert at Exeter Hall, of which the chief
attraction was the presence of Madame Gold-
selitni(l-, Lind among the performers. The canceri.
commenced with the "Jubilee Overture," by -
Weber, admirably performed under the direction
of M. Benedict. The first appmrance cf Madam(
Goldschmidt was in a duet with Signor Belletti,
" I Montonari," on Styrian melodies, arranged by
M. Benedict. Her execution of this was sa suc-
cessful as to elicit an unanimous enc)re. Her next
performance was at the conclusion of the firsi
part, when she rendered R,ossini's seem, aria,
"Squallida vests e bruna," front "It Turco in
Italia.," with admirable skill. Tile clear ane
brilliant execution of its intricacies merit tin-
highest encamiumq. But her chef d'oeuvre
M.eyerber's duet "La Mere Grande," in which
she was ably seconded by M idame Viardot, This
"net is en3ecially calculated to display Madaint,
Lind's peculiar powers of vocalisation to the highest
xdvantage. The delicacy and finish of her execution
~f_the trills and cadenzas with which it allounds,
and the exquisite softness of the long, low shakes
which she introduces delighted the audience. I
is to be regretted, however, that seme persona
chose this very inappropriate time to leave the
hall, thus greatly interfering with the enjoyment
of others. Madame Viardot acquitted herself
•,vith her usual success in Handol's air of "Verdi
prati." Herr Reichardt, who is rising in repu
tation, distinguished himself in the tenor part of
a se'eetion from the " Minnesinger," which occu-
pied the chief part of the second part. The sone
of "Life's a dream," which he sung with
spirit, is likely to become popular. Herr Roki-
tanski took a part in this selection, but though
possessed of a fine voice, his enunciation of the
words is so indistinct as to interfere with the
effect. The instrumental part of the concert was
highly meritorious. Herr Ernst performed a
rondo of his own with his usual dexterity and
expression ; and Signor Piatti rendered a concerto
of Molique's with success. There were two duets
for two pianos—one by Mr. Otto Goldschmidt
and M. Benedict, and the other by Miss Susan
Goddard and Miss Williams. The first of these
was, of course, the most artistic. It was finely
played. The hall was crowded, though not in-
conveniently, as the arrangements were most judi-
cious ; and M. Benedict may be congratulated on
having afforded the public ono of the most suc-
cessful concerts of the season,

PORTSMOUTH, WRDPIESDAY.
At a quarter before twelve this morning the Fairy,
tender, eptietly glided into harbour, having on board tlre
Queen, the Prince, and Royal f;:ni!y. There being n,
standard at the main no outward demonstration wa•
made, and the good folks were somewhat taken by sur-
prise. In a few minutes, however, the Royal. barge was
lowered, and
.P.rince Albert quickly landed at the new
step entro.nee.of the dockyard, where the Royal carriage
WM in waiting to convey his Royal HighnePs to the
railway station to welcome the arrival of the Prince
Wit Ham. of Prussia ; and but few minutes elapsed hefor-
the return of •the Royal party, attended -by the L'eut.-
Governor (Major-General Breton) and staff:
The PrincaAlbert and Prince William *ere received

Seymour, the Reaf-Admiral Superintendent Mar-
tin, and Fl T:Lieutenant Brandreth, and Lieutenant H
W. Hall, director of police, who stationed his men as a

The Prince is an exceedingly fine-looking young man,
'in height about five feet vine inches, and apparently 20
years of age. His deportment is exceedingly dignified
and gracetul.. Ho acknowledged the compliments paid
him, by frequently bowing and taking off his hat. fl
has a slight moustache, auburn coloured.

A (71,1.,r4 of honour was on its way to the dockyar I,
hot the Royal move.ner,ts were so rapid as to prevent:
their attendance in time for the embarkation on board
the Fairy yacht. •

LATEST

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
To-morrow M. Hubner will present his creden-
tials as Ambassador from the Court of Vienna to
the Emperor of the French. The presentation will
take place with all the ceremony usual on th e
reception of an Ambassador from a great Power
newly arrived. He will be conveyed to Court in
the Imparial state carriage, and the troops will be
under arms to receive him.

The day for the baptism of the Imperial Prince
is not yet fixed. The 14th or 15th of June
has been more than once spoken of, but
it is doubted whether the Empress's state of health
will permit of her undergoing the fatigue of the
eet emony, and then attending the banquet and the
ball at the Hotel do Ville the same evening. It is
possible that a postponement will take place. The
Emperor himself has not as yet fixed on any day.
Prince Napoleon will, it is believed, go as far as
Civita Vecehi, to meet the Cardinal who comes to
represent the Pope on the occasion, and the Abbe
Coquereau will act as Chaplain. Prince Oscar, who
appears greatly pleased with his visit to Paris, will
probably wait for the baptism, unless it be post-
poned for too long a period. He will in the mean-
time pay a visit to the sea-ports.
The violence of the sentiments entertained by
the Assemblree Nationale, towards England becomes
daily more and more undisguised, The following
is the latest characteristic outburst of the fusionist
organ
‘Vnat cares Englanq.for the popularity of the King
of Naples, or for the glory of the Holy See ? What she
de dres is clearer than daylight ; she wishes per fas et
nefas, to extend hex domination and that of Sardinia in
Italy. Genoa no longer-suffiees • she would possess to-
day Ancona, Civita-Vecelna, Alesana, and Palermo ;
and later she would desire Trieste, Leghern, and Venice.
We do not wish to assr; that England wishes to
pant the Britannic flag in all these spots. No ; her
u r es
a are n
i more e
as u (
tfl and discreet. . She does not
e to territory, but to arrive at a
ncres b
teminetion without a rival; it suffices for her to ea-
, 'abli-b, where isEe would reign, that chrene and
morbid anarchy which has delivered up to her;
for a long time past, the republica of the New
World, Spain, and Portegal.- This is what
England would fain tiftet. 'She wishes to strike
Italy in the heart and the heed by destroying the
temporal power of the Pope. When the Papal Power
shall have been abased, Italy will become an easy prey,
and revolutiopists will have speedily delivered up the
bleeding remains to the savage avidity of the London
and Liverpool merchante. Italy will have descended to
the last rank among nations ; hu; the Parliaments of
Westminster anl of Turin will sing praises of her liberty
and independence."
The Moniteur de l'Arrnee announces that the
evacuation of the Crimea by the French army was
proceeding with the greatest activity. The division
of General de Failly, composed of the 10th, 57th,
61st, and 85th Regiments, landed in France on the
27th April and the following days. The three Regi-
ments of Z naves embarked at Kamiesch on the
21st ult., for Algeria, have already reached that
destination. Finally, between the Ist and 15th
May, seven companies of engineers, the Ist bat-
talion of Foot Chasseurs, and the 6th, 7th, 27th,
30th, 31st, 64th, and 82d regiments of infantry
arrived at Marseilles.
The Archduke Maximilian visited Notre Dame
and the Jardin des Plantes on Sunday morning, and
returned to St. Cloud about noon, in time to attend
Divine service, which was celebrated, in presence of
the Emperor and Empress, in the chapel of the cha-
teau by one of the chaplains of his Majesty. The
Emperor and Archduke after breakfast went in au
cipeu carriage to Versailles, but they did, not visit the
Palace and Museum, having fixed that visit for this
day. The Archduke yesterday continued his visits
to the principal monuments of the capital, and
went to the Louvre, and examined its contents in
rat detail. In the (evening the Prince expressed
desire to dine with his suite in some restaurant

,)f the Patois Royal. Count Bacciocchi, First
Chamberlain to the Emperor, ordered the dinner
tt the Trois Freres Provencaux, and was invited
by the Archduke to partake of it. In the evening
the Prince went to the Grand Opera, where tly-J
Col.:mire wag performed.
