LONDON SACI?ED HARMONIC SOCIETY,

EXETER-HALL.

This scciety commenced their annual series of con-
certs last night, with llacdel'a fine oratorio of Belshazzar,
and although it was the ffrat time of its performance by
them the admirable manner in which it was given re-
flects the highest credit on all ccncerrel The choruses
w ere given with splendid effect and the most praise.
worthy precision; the fine one, "Sing, 0 yo heavens,"
was realty given in magnificent style, as were also, "See
from his post" and " Rec.lll, 0 King." The solo parts
were sustained by Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Messrs.
Lockey, Lawler, Williams, nod R. T. Smith. Miss
Dolby's title manner of rendering the recitative and air,
" No, to thyself," and "Yet to obey," was received with
great applause; and notwithstanding its length, very
narrowly escaped being Encored; and Mr. Lockey's
fine voice aid ample justice to the recitative and air,
"Lot the deep bowl," and " Where is the God." The other
solo artists, it is needless to say, were excellent, but the
music, i e. the solo music, is nut only extremely difficult,
but L dues not appeal so direct to the senses as the airs
in the other works of the great composer. The great
beauty of the work lies in the massive choruses, and,
as we have said, the superb manner in which they were
given shows that the music has been studied closely, and
carefully rehearsed. The hall was literally packed, and
the immense audience were frequent in their demon-
strations of satisfaction. We cannot conclude this short
notice without congratulating the society in their
marked improvement in the orchestra. It is now all that
could be desired, and the society is altogether second to
none in strength, and the musical abilities of its members.
Kossuth, who was expected by the Committee of
management, was too fatigued with travelling, and
having had so frequently to address large assemblies, as
to prevent his appearance, although Madame and M.
Pulsky and several more of his suite were present.

A LITERARY TLIIPF.—The Philadelphia Star ad-
dresses another paper, called the Boston Bee—
" How doth the little Boston Bee
Improve the shining hours;
And gather honey every day,
From paragraphs of ours !"

Ma. JOSEPH HUME, 24. P., AND THE EDINBURGH
COLLEGE MUSEUM.—It is generally known that the citizens
of London owe the privilege of free admission into some of
their most interesting and important exhibitions and mu-
seums, to none more than the Member for Montrose. An
incident has just come to our knowledge which leads us to
hope that his exertions will be extended in favour of our-
selves, and efforts directed to procure for the citizens of
Edinburgh free admission to one of the most valuable exhi-
bitions in our city. On the occasion of Mr. Ilume's last visit
to Edinburgh he visited the College Museum, and, probably
under the impression that it was free to all visitors, he was
about to pass by the doorkeeper, but was at once stopped
with a demand for the usual charge—one shilling. The ve-
teran Reformer with some reluctance paid the charge, and
entered his name in the book thus—" Joseph Hume, paid one
shilling." Atter having done so, he turned to the keeper and
said, " Sir, the last time I was here I paid half-a-crown—l
have now paid a shilling; but when I next visit the Museum
I will enter free, or the country will hear about it." )Ve have
no doubt the public of Edinburgh will fully appreciate any
effort which Mr. Hume may make to open this valuable col-
lection.— Scottiele Press

DEATH OF GENERAL LORD DE BLAQUIERE.—
This nobleman, who was a general officer, died on the 12th
instant, aged 73 years. His Lordship was the second son of
the first pert., and obtained a commission in the army in
1791, became a lieutenant in 1793, a captain in the same year,
a major in 1798, a lieutenant-colonel in 1801, a colonel in
1810, a major-general in 1813, a licutenent-general in 1825,
and a general in 1841. In 1814 General de Blaquiere suc-
ceeded his brother in the Irate peerage. This family is de-
scended from John de Blaquiere, a native of France, who
settled in London on the revocation of the edict of Nantes
in 1685. The late Lord de Blaquiere is succeeded in the title
by his son, a captain on the halt-pay unattached.
BLAENARoN IRON COMPANY.—A special meeting
of the shareholders took place yesterday at the company's
offices, No. 4, Pancras-lane, City, Mr. Masterman in the
chair, to authorise the directors to raise 50,0001. for the pur-
po c of paying off some of the company's debentures on the
best terms obtainable, and for other purposes connected with
the company's position. The chairman stated that one effect
of the proposed arrangement would be to release the proprie-
tors from a liability of 35,0004, to which they were then
subject. In the course of the discussion, it was stated by
Mr. Hill, a director, that the command of money was
alone wanting to enable the directors to carry on the
works with the prospect of insuring a dividend. A reso-
lution for authorising the raising of the loan was ultimately
carried ncm. con.

The sentene of the Court-martial on a sergeant
and come privates of the Royal Artillery, who were tried at
the Main Guard House at Portsmouth on the preceding
Friday and Saturday, has been confirmed by the Comman-
der-in-Chief, and. promulgated. The charge was for
drunkehness while on guard at King William's Gate, Ports-
mouth, and the sergeant has been sentenced to be reduced
to the ranks, and the privates to terms of imprisonment,
varying from two to six months each, according to their pre-
vious characters.

READY WIT.—A person threw the bead of a
goose on to the stage of the Belville Theatre. Corto, ad-
vancing to the front, said, "Gentlemen, if any amongst you
has lost his head, do not be uneasy, for I will restore it at the
conclusion of the performance."
A REASON.—A minister was walking out one day
and passed two little boys, one of whom made a bow. As
he turned his back, he heard the following amusing conver-
sation —" Why, John, didn't you know that was pDI arson
?,, ,t yes, of course I did.'' " Well, why did you not
make a bow to him?" "Why, my mother don't btloag to
his church."

From beginning people
beginning to end it was an ovation. After
the " Caste diva," shouts of laughter were raised by the
efforts of a venerable old gentleman to collect and carry off
the shower of bouquets which had fallen at the feet of the
enchantress. But what was rare, indeed, a second shower
as abundant as the first, testified, before the close of the
second act, the undiroinishing enthusiasm of as crowded and
brilliant an audience as could well have been collected to-
gether.
TIIR CAB DRIVERS' STRIKE AT LIVERPOOL;
The Liverpool lilercury announces that the strike of these
men, after lasting a few days, has terminated. Above one-
halt of the employers have consented to the terms proposed
by the men, whilst in one or two instances, three shillings a
day has been given. Some of the larger cab-owners, how-
ever, firmly refused any alteration, and the men, finding
there was no probability of obtaining the advance of wages
and the rest from Sabbath labour, have returned to their
work.
