MADAME GOLDSCHMIDT'S CONCERTS AT BIRMINGHAM.
—At the ballot on Wednesday for secured places for

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—Last evening Mr.
Costa's oratorio entitled " Eli," was given for the first
time in London, by the above society, at Exeter Hall,
and with complete success. Her Majesty the Queen,
his Royal Hihgness Prince Albert, the royal children,
the Princess Alice, and the Prince of Wales, attended
by a numerous suite, honoured the performance with
their presence, and were enthusiastically cheered, on
entering and quitting the hall, by a densely crowded
audience. The national anthem was sung before the
oratorio, and received with the warmest demonstrations
of loyalty. The great eiecutive successes of the concert
were Mr. Sims Reeves's grandly heroic delivery of the
spirited martial air, " Philistines, hark !" (rapturously
encored)—the quartet, " We bless thee in the name of
e,m
the Lord" (also redemanded), sung with irreproachable

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—Will you kindly permit me to join in the out-
cry, now loud and serious, against capital punishment,
as now consummated or remitted at the caprice of the
Home Secretary—for the sparing of Celestina Sumner
and the hanging of the woman Brown, at Dorchester, is
only a fair sample and proof that the merits of the case
has nothing whatever to do with these decisions.
But it is not in extreme cases alone that uncertainty
prevails, but in every-day cases two magistrates treat
similar cases as opposite as light and darkness. I give
two cases in illustration :—Oa July 9th, Samuel Niell,
whose wife keeps a marine store shop, had bought
some brass, stolen from a manufacturer ; full value was
given ; the husband had never seen it until his wife pro-
duced it to the policeman, who took away the brass,
and told the wife that she must go before the magistrate.
" Oh," says Niell, " I am the responsible party if any
thing is wrong." Off the policeman took him, and
although the boy's evidence showed that the husband
was not the party who bought it, Niell, a man 60 years
of age, infirm, unfit for business, and against whose
moral character and honesty not a whisper was ever
raised, was committed for buying with a guilty know-
ledge, and is now suffering six months' hard labour FOR
THE OFFENCE.

The parallel ease was settled last Friday at the Man-
sion-house. Henry Isaacs and Joseph Moses had stolen
ten reels of plated wire, worth 455., from their employer,
a Mr. Corowel, in the Minories. A marine store dealer
bought them for 3i. ! ! The marine store dealer is
treated as an honest man, and the boys have each six
weeks' bard labour. And these are fair samples of every-
day justice in the metropolis.
Niell is poor, and past all power of earning a living.
and his wife was in an evil hour advised to keep a ma-
rine store, to which she is unused, only a few months
ago, and the result is that they have pad a penalty, it
appears, not for dishonesty, but to the caprices and irre-
gularity of our administration of j slice.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AUG. 18.

SOMERSET CENTRAL.

A meeting was held at Wells on Thursday, the
Mayor .(Mr. J. G. Everett) presiding, for the purpose
of giving the directors of the company an opportunity
of explaining to the inhabitants of Wells their views on
the subject of the extension of the railway to that
city. From statements made by Mr. G. Warry,
chairman of the company, and Mr. R. N. Grenville
and Mr. Reade, two of the directors, it appeared that
the only difficulty in completing the line from Glas-
tonbury to Wells was the raising of the necessary
capital. A sum of 17,0001. was required for this pur-
pose, and the real object of the meeting was to ask for
assistance to raise that amount. It was suggested that
the two members for Wells (Messrs. Hayter and Jol-
life) should take shares to the extent of 2,0001. each,
which would reduce the sum to a small amount for the
inhabitants to raise. After some observations from
Mr. Wilmott, Lieutenant-General Coles, and other
gentlemen, it was resolved that another meeting should
be held, at which the city members should -be specially
invited to attend, and in the meantime it was
understood that an active canvass of the inhabitants
would be made to induce them to subscribe for shares
in the company.

SOMERSET CENTRAL,

A meeting was held at Wells on Thursday, the
Mayor (Mr. J. G. Everett) presiding, for the purpose
of giving the directors of the company an opportunity
of explaining► to the inhabitants of Wells their views on
the subject of the extension of the railway to that
city. From statements made by Mr. G. Warry,
chairman of the company, and Mr. R. N. Grenville
and Mr. Reade, two of the directors, it appeared that
the only difficulty in completing the line from Glas-
tonbury to Wells was the raising of the necessary
capital. A sum of 17,0001. was required for this pur-
pose, and the real object of the meeting was to ask for
assistance to raise that amount. It was suggested that
the two members for Wells (Messrs. Hayter and Jol-
life) should take shares to the extent of 2,0001. each,
which would reduce the sum to a small amount for the
inhabitants to raise. After some observations from
Mr. Wilmott, Lieutenant-General Coles, and, other
gentlemen, it was resolved that another meeting should
be held, at which the city members should be specially
invited to attend, and in the meantime it was
understood that an active canvass of the inhabitants
would be made to induce them to subscribe for shares
in the company.

THE GERMAN LEGION.

Last week orders were issued to the command-
in.. officer of the Royal Engineers, for the survey
ofthergholt-heath, for the encampment of two regi-
ments of the German Legion, and the survey was
made accordingly. We now understand that the
mi!itary authorities have abandoned Bergh°lt-
heath and have been in treaty for die hire of the
Freehold Land Society's ground, near the railway
station, for the encampment of the lot and 3d
Light Infantry Regiments expected to arrive at
Colchester to-day (Tuesday), from 13rowndown,
near Portsmouth. Nothing, we hear, has been de-
finitely fixed respecting the arrival of the Ist and
2d cavalry regiments at Aldershot. Orders have
been given for the discharge of the invalids and
men of the various regiments unfit for service,
which, in the opinion of some competent to judge,
does not look like disbandment at present. Indeed,
they assert that this event will probably be deferred
t known.
for several months, but of this nothing, is
The soldiers have been supplied with new clothing,
and looked exceedingly smart on Sunday. The
playing of the regimental bands in the barrack-
square on Sunday afternoons has been resumed by
order of General Baron Von Stutterheim. The
bands of these regiments play, as is the custom in
continental services, in their barracks on Sunday
afternoon, and with no desire to desecrate the Sab-
bath. Civilians, who are excluded from the bar-
racks on the week, days, except when furnished
with a
tcpass, ' are now admitted between the
hours of four and six o'clock on Sunday afternoon
to hear the bands, and on Sunday a large number
of respectable inhabitants were present. The visit
of the Duke of Cambridge is still a matter of in-
teresting anticipation to the townsfolk. The pre
vise day on which his Royal Highness will arrive
is not definitely known. It is fully expected to
take place this week. It is, however, stated that
ho will not review the legion till the whole of the
9,500 men are concentrated here, and the two in-
fantry and two cavalry regiments are yet to arrive.
We understand that Baron Von Stutterheim, com-
mander of the legion, left Colchester yesterday
(Monday) for London, probably to make arrange-
ments for the reception of his Royal Highness.—

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCEIA.NGE.

Scarcely any -English wheat was on sale in to-day's
market. There was a fair inquiry for all kinds, and, owing
to the changeable state of the weather, holders generally
refused to sell except on rather higher terms.
The imports of foreign wheat this week are 7,610 quar-
ters. That article was in moderate request at full priceq.
The barley trade was very firm, at extreme quotations.
In malt only a limited business was transacted, at late
rates. .

•
-We were fairly supplied with oats,' yet the demand was
steady. In prices no change took place.
Beans, peas, and flour were quite as dear as on Monday.

THAMES.

CHARGE OP STABBING ANS ATTEMPTED MURDER.—
Captain, H. Johan. Kiel, a German, aged 27, and master
of the ship Pauline, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with *feloniously cutting and wounding Eliza-
beth Turnbell, with intent to murder or do grievous
bodily harm.

The prosecutrix, a large, red-faced bloated woman, a
prostitute, whose head was enveloped in surgical ban-
dages, stated that she got into an omnibus yesterday
evening in the West India-road, and the prisoner got in
directly afterwards. When she got out at the George
n the Commercial•road the prisoner got out at the same
time, and pulled her shawl. She asked him what he
wanted, and he said, "I will give you one ten shil-
lings." She refused the money, and he then
asked her to have something to drink. They
went into Angus's, the Little Wonder beer-shop,
and had some ale, and as she was leaving he turned
mond and struck her and knocked her down with his
fist. She got up and ran after him, but could nut over-
take him, and she was going home when he came after
her, and overtook her in Storey street, and took out his
knife and stabbed her on the head. She fell under ths
effects of the blow, and bled very much.
In cross-examination by Mr. Charles Young the pro-
secutrix said she had been drinking at the Jolly Scotch-
man public-house iu the afternoon, and the prisoner was
there. He went home with her. He was with her five
hours in all.

Henry Ristutori, a young man, said he saw the parties
struggling. The prisoner turned round and struck the
woman, who tinned round and laid hold of him. The
prisoner threw her down twice, and witness caught hold
of the prisoner, and he then put something in his pocket,
which terned out to be a shut up clasp knife.
A policeman ❑amed Smith said Mr. Taynton, surgeon,
dressed the wound, and said it was a slight one, and no
doubt inflicted with the blunt end of a knife while it was
shut.

Mr. Young said the prosecutrix attempted to rob the
prosecutor, and in defending his property struck at her
with the shut knife.
Inspector Smith of the K division said the prisoner
was drunk when he came to the station-house. The
woman was sober. In consequence of the charge of rob-
bery he had the woman searched. There was only 23.
on her. The prisoner had 21. 10s. in his pockets.
Mr. Yardley, after a long inquiry, allowed the parties
to retire and settle the matter, and he did so on the ex-
press understanding that the prosecutor in his ignorance
thought the woman was robbing him.

EGYPT.

ALBXANDRIA, Aug. 9.—Said Pasha, the Viceroy,
has just resolved upon running steamers, carrying
the Egyptian flag, all round the Red Sea, from
Suez to Cosseir, 'Massawab, Aden, Mocha, Jedda,
Yambo, and to extend occasionally to Bussorah
and Bagdad. _ _

The Pasha has requested a number of Euro-
peans to act as directors of the steamers, for this
scheme purports to be a company formed by the
Pasha, with a capital of 600,0001., of which his
Highness is to subscribe one half at once. The
Pasha has promised to have docks made at Suez,
which, if carried out, will prove of great use to our
communication with.lndia._

Said Pasha is to proceed to Cairo to spend the
festivities of the Courban Bairam, and to assist at
the opening of the canal which conveys water into
the town, the Nile having risen sufficiently for all
purposes of irrigation.
His Highness has recently established a Droms•
dary Corps, of about 800 men, on 400 dromedaries,
of which he is much enamoured, and takes them
about with him wherever be goes. Last week,
having honoured a French merchant of this place
by accepting his invitation to dine with him in a
country-house on the canal, his Highness took with
him his whole Dromedary Corps, who made no
small havoc in the Frenchman's grounds in en-
deavouring to appease their appetites.
A private letter of the 9th inst., from Alexan-
dria, contains the following interesting informa-
tion :

" The Viceroy is about to create ender his patronage,
a company of steam navigation along the shores of the
Red Sea (coasting trade). The company is to be called
the Medjidie, in honour of the Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid.
The President of the Council of Administration will be
his highness's nephew, Mustapha Bey, and the Council
will be composed one-half of Egyptians and the other
of Europeans. Among its members are already named
S. Thurnburn. (English), Jules Pastre (French), L6vi
(Austrian), Ruyssenaers (Dutch), Dumereicher (Danish),
and Zacc2ii (a Greek). Thee gentlemen were sum-
moned this morning to the Dalace of Gabarri, whsrs
the Viceroy long conferred with them on the bases of
the 'new enterplige. The Company's steamers are
auxiliary screw, and they will trade to all the ports of
the Red Sea. The traffic of thcFe countries will quickly
change its aspect when intelligent men are charged
with it. The vessels will sail under Egyptian
coloure. The company starts with a capital of
2,000,000 tal :r!s, or 400,0001. sterling; the Viceroy per.
sonally is largely interested in it, and there is not
an important person in the countfy who has not
funds embarked in it. The first subscription for the
Isthmus of Suez reckoned a Certain number of Mus.
