SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL,

Randers oratorio of " Solomon" was performed
by this society last night for the first time for some
years. Though not the finest of the great master's
oratorios, it bears sufficient evidence of his genius
to render its revival a matter of interest. The
choruses are occasionally magnificent, and were in
general very successfully rendered. The orches-
tral performances, under the direction of Mr. Costa,
left nothing to be desired. The chief solo vocalists
were Madame Rudersdorff, Miss Dolby, and Miss
Sherrington, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Thomas.
Miss Dolby took the part of Solomon, which dis-
played her powers to much advantage.
Madame Rud.eredorff was also very successful
in the part of the first woman in the judg-
ment scene. The opening chorus in this
part, " From the censer," is one of the
finest in the oratorio. Another passage in which
the genius of the composer manifests itself most
strongly is in the third part, in the four suc-
cessive choruses which follow the recitative of
Solomon—

" Sweep, sweep, the string to soothe the royal fair,
Awa rouse each passion with alternate air."
In which the wonderful variety of expression which
Handel gives to his choruses is displayed in its
fullest extent. These were accomplished effec-
tively, but in a preceding one—
" May no rash intruder disturb their soft hours,"
the performance was scarcely so satisfactory. Mr.
M. Smith, who possesses a fine tenor voice, achieved
great success in the difficult part of Zadok. It is im-
possible to help regretting the very indifferent
words to which such immortal music lends an un-
deserved immortality. Their unworthiness of the
subject, perhaps, is the more striking from the
usual employment of passages of Scripture. It is
well that the composer needed no extraneous in-
spiration. The audience was large, and appeared
highly satisfied with their evening's entertainment.
We are glad td see that the "Messiah" is promised
for the 12th of December, with Mrs. Clare Hep-
worth, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Herr Formes as solo
performers.
London, England, 1856-11-29

LERIGO took up the chase he was left to conduct
it almost single-handed. ALLEN was the first to
lend energetic assistance ; and LERIGO has been
deprived of his situation in consequence of the
demands made on his time by the public
authorities. Doubtless he will obtain a better
position ; but it speaks but little for
society when we find what might le
a severe injury inflicted on a meritorious lad for
bringing a criminal of the deep6st dye to

ustice.

Offences of violence have reached a fearful pitch.
No man is now safe, either as regards person or
property. Robberies and burglaries are of daily
occurrence, and not a week passes that we are not
compelled to narrate some murder or murders
of fearful atrocity. Such a state of things cannot
Ea permitted to continue. Decisive measures must
be adopted to arrest the course of bloodshed and
violence on which so many have entered.

REJLIRKABLB TRIAL FOR MURDER.

An extraordinary trial for murder, at the late Toronto
Assizes, has excited a very strogg feeling in Canadian so-
ciety. Mr. Thos. Henderson, an attorney, had seduced the
wife of Mr. George Brogdin, of Port Hope, a member of
the same profession, Brogdin and Henderson were young
mien ; they had been schoolfellows and pupils in the same
office. Brogdin, who is now 25 years of age, was
married two or three years ago, and has one child. Hen-
derson was paying his addresses to Mrs. Brogdin's sister
ostensibly, but in August last he persuaded Mrs. Brogdin
to elope with him, and afterwards, in letters to his friends,
boasted that he ha i made her his mistress. He also told
several persons that be always carried arms, and that
Brogdin was a poor fool and coward, who did not under-
stand the use of them, and that if they chanced to meet it
would be the worse for Brogdin. These remarks came to
the hearing of Brogdin ; indeed, the affair had got into
the local newspapers, much to Elonderson's glorification.
Some weeks passed over before they met. Henderson had
pistols about him whenever he went out, and often talked
of fighting with Brogdin. Arrangements were made by
Brogdin, after his wife went away, to settle an income
upon her, as he said ho loved her too well to let her die
in a ditch, which she would do if she continued with
Henderson. When Henderson heard of this he said he did
not care for anything Brogdin conld do after that, because
he was perfectly satisfied that such conduct towards her
would preclude Brogdin from getting a verdict against him
in an action for cries. con. On the very next day, Sept. 23,
they met accidental) y on the steamboat wharf. Henderson
nodded insolently to Brogdin, and said, " How d'ye do,
George ?" Brogdin immediately drew a pistol from his
pocket, and shot Henderson dead. These were the facts
proved iu evidence, without contradiction, and the Chief
Justice told the jury that he could not imagine "aces plainer
not
case of murder." "The law (said his lordship) d
admit that Henderson's conduct was any excuse for mur-
der." The jary, however, declared that Brogdin was not
guilty of the murder. The Toronto Globe comments upon
the case in the following terms :—" This was the form of
their verdict, but we all know that their meaning was—
' Guilty of tho killing, but it was justifiable.' It would
have been better if the jury had returned a verdict of
guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. It is an
alarming precedent to declare a man innocent of all crime
who has taken the life of a fellow creature. But this is not
the feeling of the community generally. There is a strong,
healthful detestation in the public mind of the seducer.
I There is no redress against him as a criminal by law ; and
when the injured relative of the victim takes the law into
his own hands he has the sympathy of the community.
The jury at the trial were, no doubt, 444°14°4 by this
reasoning."

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of the board
was held in the Council-chamber, Guildhall— Mr.
Thwaites in the chair.

THE PARK FOR FINSBURY.

The first business entered upon was the further con-
sideration of the memorial from the vestries of the
parishes of St. Mary, Islington ; St. James and St.
John, Clerkenwell ; St. Mary, Stoke Newington ; and
the District Board of Works for St. Andrew, Holborn,
on the subject of forming a park for the northern suburbs ,
of the metropolis.
Mr. SATAGE, in supporting the prayer of the memo-
rial of the parishes, remarked that a park for the nor-
thern portion of the metropolis was manifestly needed,
and referred to the recently amended act, which lully
empowered the board to provide parks, pleasure-grounds,
and open spaces. He concluded by moving a resolution
to the effect that the prayer of the memorialists be com-
plied with ; that the clerk be directed to take the
necessary steps to adopt the Parliamentary notices
already given by the parishes in order that the board
might be prepared to apply for an act this session, and
that it be referred to the Finance Committee to report
upon the best means of raising the necessary funds.
Mr. D'IFTANGER seconded the motion, because he
was anxious to have Hampstead-heath secured to the
public.
Mr. TURNEII moved, as an amendment, that it be re-
ferred to the committee of works to consider the appli-
cation now before the board, together with the various
other applications that had been made to the board for
providing parks, &c., and to inquire into the probable
expense, and to report upon the urgency and importance
of the particular plans.
Mr. WILKINSON seconded the amendment, deeming
that that was the best way of dealing with these ques-
tions, which were not free from difficulty.
After some observations from Mr. Deputy Harrison,
Mr. Nicholay, and Mr. Seeley, the motion was put and
last.
The amendment was then put, when Mr. Howes
moved that a special committee of ten, instead of tie
Works' Committee, wake the report. This amendment
was loot, as was likewise another brought forward by
Mr. Few, to the effect that the whole question of park
accommodation be considered by the board, irrespective
of any particular locality. The amendment of Mr. Tur-
ner being now the original motion, was put frum the
chair, and carried, upon a -how of hands, by 20 to 11.

THE RECORDERSHIP OF THE CITY
OF LONDON.

This afternoon a Court of Aldermen was held at the
Guildhall—the Lard Mayor in the chair—to receive a
communication from the lion. Stuart Wortley, her
Majesty's Solicitor-General, relative to his resignation of
the office of Recorder.

The letter, which stated the acceptance of office under
Government by the hon. and learned gentleman was read,
and it also announced his desire to place the office of
recorder in the hands of the court.

A discussion took place relative to the acceptance of
the hon. and learned gentleman's resignation at once, by
which much inconvenience would arise to the numerous
suitors in the Lord Mayor's Court.
A motion was the❑ made that the letter be received
and entered on the minutes of the court, to which an
amendment, was moved, that the resignation of the
Recorder be accepted, but which, on a division, was
1(7.4, two only voting for it. . . .

The motion for the acceptance of the letter, And that
it be entered on the minutes of the court, was then
agreed to.

Notice of motion was then given that the Cuurt do
proceed to the electio'n of a Recorder at its next sitting ;
and also that the thanks of the Court be given to the
Hon. S. Wortley for the admirable manner in which be
bad discharged the duties of Recorder.
The 'LORD MAYOR stated that as the Commo❑ Ser-
geant would be engaged very much till the appointment
of a recorder, it was necessary that an assessor should
Le appointed to the Lord Mayor's Court, and he (the
Lord Mayor) therafore moved that the next senior officer,
Mr. Prendergast, should be so appointed.
This did not appear to meet with the approval of the
Court, and the Town-Clerk was asked and consented
to act as such till the appointment of a new recorder.
The Court then broke up.

SAYMARKIIT THEATRE.

Mr. Buckstone announces the last morning perform-
ance of his brilliant pantomime, "The Butterfly's Ball
and the Grasshopper's Feast," on Thursday next. These
represensations at this theatre have given the greatest
sati4action to many families residing in the suburbs
of London. Three day performances only wore in-
tended, but the numerous applications for a continuance
of them induced Mr. Backstone to increase their num-
ber, the last of which takes place on the day mentioned.
The revival of "The Beaux' Stratagem " has been the
great success of the evening performances, while "The
Little Treasure," and " Only a Halfpenny," as per-
formed by the Haymarket company at Windsor, afford
an agreeable variety to the entertainments. A new and
original comedy, by Boyle Bernard, the author of the
charming little piece, "The Balance of Comfort," is in
rehearsal.
