where the statue of the musician—the last work of _
Roubillae, might almost seem to listen to the
strains, and the grave might, to our sense, be re-
animated under the spelt of the potent maestro ;
but the building is too small ; and, in fact, there
is not a building in London that is fit for the de
sign. Why, the 2,300 performers would of them-
selves nearly fill Exeter-hall, and there would not
be much comfortable space for anybody to listen to
them. To erect in town a building that would be
secure enough for the occasion would cost an enor-
mous sum of money - and attention has therefore
been turned to the drystal Palace, as not only the
largest and the best, but in fact the only possible
concert-hall in which the festival can be held.
It may perhaps be remembered that when the
present Palace was opened the music was so magni-
ficent that, through Lord Palmerston, the Queen
" signified her opinion that it had the finest effect
which her Majesty had ever heard ;" and those
who were present at that inauguration can fully
echo the opinion. The fact is, however, that on
every occasion the performance of music in the Pa-
lace has a most startling effect. The ordinary play
ing of the band, and much more those operatic
concerts which were among the chief attractions of
Sydenham during the past season, had an effect
which could be attained in no concert-room.
Conceive the difference between a concert-room
and the Palace. In the former we find ourselves
in a hot and staring crowd—nothing to be seen but
a sea of heads and the bare walls of the room, and
if the prospectis relieved by the sight of fair women
there they are utterly wretched, hiding their
shoulders with an opera cloak, and hiding their
faces alternately with an opera glass and a fan.
In the Palace, on the other hand, this one art of
music which we are assembled to hear is but the
complement of many others • we are surrounded
with noble statuary, with delicate carvings, with
lovely colours, with graceful architecture, with a
thousand appliances. It is thus amid many other
concurrent arts welch supply us with dignified as-'
sociations and pleasant surprises that in the Crys-
tal Palace we listen to the most spiritual art of
all ; and this, independently of its splendid accom-
moation and its excellent capabilities for sound,
is the secret of the great success which invariably
attends the performance of music in that stately
building.
Leaving the artistic question, however, what is
most interesting to us, and what has especially in-
duced us to notice the subject in this part of our
columns, is the evidence which the mere suggestion
of the present plan affords of the great advance in
the cultivation of music which has been made in
this country, We have no means of forming an
accurate comparison, but we suspect we are not far
wrong in saying that the yearly sum spent by the
people of this country for music alone is about as
much as they spend ou allthe other fine artstogether.
Good paintings, from their rarity, must always be
a luxury ; engravings are chiefly prized ; like Mee-
cheater printed goods, for their cheapness ; sculp-
ture has never been thoroughly naturalised ; ar-
chitecture is only beginning to be appreciated; the
drama has miserably declined. Music flourishes ;
every town has its concerts, its glee clubs, its maclr:-
gal societies, it choral unions; the great citiEs have
their large concert-liars, their festivals, their
operas ; and now, a century after the death of
Handel, it is found possible to assemble together a
chorus of 2,000 voices, a large proportion of these
being simply trained amateurs, to sing the grandest
music which has ever been written in a way which
was impossible when the composer was living, if
not inconceivable. The difference between Eng-
land then and England now is indeed vast. How
much these musical influences have tended to
elevate the national taste and to refine the national
- character, to make our homes more happy, and to
make our public assemblies more august, to lighten
the hearts of the poor, to soften the hearts of the
rich, and to bring all classes of society into closer
sympathy and union, who shall say ? The advance
of one art, too, is an advance for all ; the artistic
feeling is one that rarely developer itself partially.
There is no such thing as monogamy on Parnassus ;
a man may marry the whole Nine Muses at once if
he likes. The growing appreciation for music,
therefore, we may accept as a satisfactory sign of
the advancing love of art in general.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Nov. 17.-e-Though the wind is
still blowing in a northerly direction, we have experi-
enced much milder weather since Saturday, and the sea
having fallen upon the bar, a considerable number'of coal
' laden vessels have taken their departure during the past
48' hours, with a fair wind, and there are at present but
few vessele in the harbours. A. very considerable fleet of
light vessels is detained south of Flamboroueh on their
passage to the north by the contrary winds. In fact, the
roads and bays are reported to be crowded with them.
. The sea during the north-east gate of last week was ex-
ceedingly rough; so stormy indeed was the weather in the
early part of the week that powerful steamships could
. not keep at sea, and we had no arrival of screw colliers
. until Friday. A great number of light vessels lost their
anchors and cables while trying to ride out the storm--7
well on to 100 of thena-e.and the salvagers and smacks-
, men on the Norfolk and Suffolk coast will reap a fine
' harvest in fishing them lap, if the weather keeps fine.
The sea broke with exceeding violence on our coast
during the storm last week, and a considerable amount
of injury has been done to the public works in progress
at the harbour-mouths on our coast. The pier works in
• the-emtuary of the Tyne
,were a good deal damaged ;
several massive coping atonee also were washed from the
extremity of the commissioners pier, and a central 1
portion of the south pier at Hartlepool. Large por-
tieue of the headland were also swept away by the sea
from near the lighthouse of the same place. The trade

other articles has been altered, because the fixed price
would not allow gold to fall to the relative prices of other
property when its quantity increased, and therefore
other property advanced from 30 to 50 per cent. in price
to maintain its relative value with gold. In your com-
ments upon the speech of Mr. Palk, some days past, you
show that you are aware of this fact, for you remark
that, though the price of corn when he spoke was higher
than bad been anticipated, the value of it was really less
to the consumer, as his better means obtained it more
easily. This is a principle which we disputed about in
1851. I then contended that a high scale of prices was
a low rate of taxes, and a low scale of prices was a high
rate of taxes. This has been amply proved during the
last five years, for prosperity has steadily followed the
advance of prices, and wages have more than equalled
them in the advance, in spite of the predictions of the
philosophers.
" But let me ask you bow you can maintain these high
prices with gold at 3/. 17s. 1011. ? Already, in a few
weeks' attempt to;recover the gold, the property of the
contry has fallen in va4te about 250,000,0001., or 5 per
cent, on 5,000,000,000/. ; yet no gold is recovered,
and as it can only be recovered reducing English goods
in price below the price of gold, what do yon estimate
the amount of loss upon the property of the country
before you recover 5,000,000 tn. 6,009,010 of gold ?
You remark that many ce,nsider it unreasonable that
they cannot have money at a fixed price. Well, how
money is to be a r.lleasure of value when it is always
varying in price it is difficult to understand ; but would
it not be list',.se to recollect that until the last 40 years
such seri:Jus changes and rapid fluctuations in the rate
of di—oount were unknown ? The fault is not with
the Bank, but in the law ; the Bank is controlled by
the law, and has no means of escape but by commit-
ting a great fraud upon industry for the benefit cf
money and idleness, to save itself. The war has been
a small cause of cur trouble; true, the expenditure has
been large, but by far the greatest part has been spent
within the country, with our manufacturers and our
shipowners. We must look elsewhere for a solution
of the cause of the pressure. An observer of what
was passing during the last three years would notice
that 15,000,000 of specie has gone annually to India
and China. What had the war to do with this ex
port of bullion? Was it sent out for amusement, or in
return for imports ? Surely the latter; and althongh
the Government may think well to publish fallacious
statements of increased exports for which they have
no correct data, the fact is, that although our export's
have materially increased, our imports have in-
creased very much more, leaving a balance which the
gold is gone to pay. It is in vain to deny this posi-
tion, for the simple fact of the bullion disappearing
proves it ; the bullion must come in if our exports
exceeded our impotts ; and the exportation or im-
portation of bullion are indexes which cannot be mistake❑
of the state of our trade. The Australian gold has given
much temporary benefit; were our laws sound that bene-
fit would be permanent ; but that this country, with a
total receipt of hundreds of millions, shbuld be in a state
of anxiety for the arrival of the James Baines with
7061,000/. is an evidence of the badness of our laws and
the ignorance of our people. The importation of corn
is only injurious because we keep our price of gold
lower than all our manufactures can be made, therefore
gold goes in preference ; if gold was higher in price,
manufactures would be exchanged for corn in preference
to gold.

Saturday, the Bth day of November, in the 20th year of
the reign of her Majesty Qaeen Victoria, 1856.
I, Robert Mousey, Baron Cranworth, Lord High
Chancellor of Great Britain, intrusted by virtue of her
Majesty the Queen's sign manual, with the care and
commitment of the custody of the person and estates of
persons found idiot, lunatic, or of unsound mind, do,
with the advice and assistance of the Right Hon. Sir
James Lewis Knight Bruce and the Right Hon. Sir
George James Turner, the Lords Justices of the Court
of Appeal in Chancery, also being entrusted as afore-
said, and by virtue and in exercise of the powers or
authorities in this behalf vested is me by " The Lunacy
Regulation Act, 1853," and •f every other power or
authority in anywise enabling me in this behalf, order
and direct as follows, that is to say :

"You say that gold is an article of commerce, and
must follow all its laws. If you had said that gold
ought to be an article of commerce and should follow all
its laws, I should have agreed with you. You wilfully
forget that our absurd laws, which fix the price of gold,
per pound sterling, whatever its quantity, destroy all the
natural relations which it ought otherwise to have to-
wards property, produce, and labour, and, in fact, limit
our prices and our population by the success or failure
of those who make gold-seeking a trade. In short, we
have made ourselves the slaves of gold, instead of snak-
ing it of use to ourselves.
" You conclude your article by saying that every man
in trade ought to have a sufficient reserve perfectly acce
sible. That was the old maxim. Pray inform your readers
when, in the old times, there were such sudden and great
variations in the rate of discount ; and how any man is
to estimate what is a sufficient reserve; for he must not
only have an ample supply to avoid the necessity of dis-
counting at high rates, but he must have an unlimited
supply to meet the delay and defalcation in paymentr,
which such high rates of discount invariably produce.
"The present state of the money-market ought to
Lave been evident to all men of any foresight. It
was clear to me last spring that before the close of
the year the press re for money would be great, and
acoordingly I loved for a committee to inquire into
the cause rei the great variations in the quantity and
value of money, with a view to remedy the same, if
13°8F.;:ole. This motion was opposed by the Chancel-
er of the Exchequer, on the ground that it would
be a long inquiry—a very curious way of reasoning.
I should have thought that the longer the inquiry the
sooner it should have been commenced. You also
ridiculed my motion, and said I did not know what
I wa❑ted ; but it appears now that I knew rather
better than you did what was wanted.
"In conclusion, sir, I congratulate you upon the
progress you have made during the last five years.
You have learnt that a high price of corn may be
cheaper to the consumer than a low price ; that dear-
ness and cheapness are only relative and comparative
terms ; and you have also discovered that a high rate
of interest of money is a great natural disaster, and
inflicts a greater amount of inconvenience than famine,
earthquakes, floode, conflagrations, or shipwrecks.
" Alter this I have little fear of your not shortly
discovering that, with a fixed price of gold, lower
relatively than the necessary prices of the agricultural
and manufactured produce of this country, to afford
the means for paying its burdens, it is quite impos•
sible to prevent~ the too frequent repetition of such
high rates of interest and such natural disasters."

It was nearly midnight before the search was given
up, and the town returned to something like its wonted
quiet. No attempt was made to pursue the fugitives
who landed on the Suffolk shore, and it is believed they
made their way to Ipswich.
About o'clock on Tuesday morning the Vivid started
for her destination, perfect order having apparently been
restored on board. In the course of the forenoon the
captured legionaries were taken before the borough
bench (present the Mayor, C. Sharp, Esq., and F.
Hales, Esq.). Three of them, viz., J. Greabermann, L.
Schamberger, and L. Mess, were identified by Lieut.
Clipperton as ringleaders in the disturbance and the at-
tack upon himself, the charge against them being that of
assaulting with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
In answer to Mr. A. E. Church, who appeared for
Kiess, the prosecutor said be could not identify him as
the party who struck him, but would swear that he was
one of those who called out to throw him overboard.
The Bench remanded the three prisoners to a special
sitting on Wednesday, when the case would be fully gone
into.
The other 21 prisoners were dismissed with directions
to the police to see them out of the town, and they all
started by the next train to Colchester.
The excuse which Kiess makes for his desire to get on
shore is that he intended to be married to a young woman
named Death, next Sunday, at Colchester, and he pro-
duced a certificate from the clergyman of St. Martin's of
the due publication of the banns.—Essex Standard of
yesterday.

1. From and after the 15th day of November, 1856,
in lieu of copies of proceedings and documents in mat-

in lunacy at the office in which they are filed or left,
copies of such proceedings and documents (save as here-
inafter excepted) are to be made, delivered, charged aud
paid for, according to the following regulations:-
1. The following copies are exempted from this
order, that is to say :—Office copies of affida-
vits to be made for and taken by the party
filing the same ; copies of documents prepared
in the offices of the Masters in Lunacy and
Registrar in Lunacy respectively, to be made
for and taken by the party having the conduct
of the proceedings filed in the office of the Re-
gistrar in Lunacy ; and copies of all documents
filed er deposited for safe custody in the office
of the Masters in Lunacy.
2. The party or his solicitor requiring any copy
(save as bereinbefore excepted) is to make a
written application, to be delivered to the party
by whom the copy is to be furnished, or his
solicitor, with an undertaking to pay the
proper charges.
3. Upon such requisition being made, with such
undertaking as aforesaid, copies of such pro-
ceedings or documents are to be made by the
party, or his solicitor, filing or leaving the
same, or who, under the first rule, may have
taken office copies thereof.
4. The copies are to be ready to be delivered at the
expiration of forty-eight hours after the delivery
of such request and undertaking, or within
such other time as the Lord Chancellor or the
Lords Justices, entrusted as aforesaid, may in
any case direct, and are to be delivered ac-
cordingly upon demand and payment of the
proper charges.
5. The charges for all such copies are to be at the
rate of 4d. per folio.
6. Copies of bills of costs are to be made side for
side, so as to correspond with the bills of costs
left in the office.
7. The folios of all copies are to be numbered con-
secutively in the margin thereof, and the name
and address of the party or solicitor by whom
the same are made is to be'endorsed thereon,
and such party or solicitor is to be answerable
for the same being true copies of the original,
or of the office copies of the originals, of which
they respectively purport to be copies, as the
case may be.
8. Any party or solicitor who has taken any office
copy mentioned in Rule 1, is to produce the
same in court, or at the office of the Masters
in Lunacy, when required for the purpose of
the proceedings to which the same relate.
2. All office copies and copies to be furnished by par-
ties or their solicitors shall be written on paper of a con-
venient size, with a sufficient margin and in a neat and
legible manner, similar to that which is usually adopted
by law stationers ; and in the case of copies to be fur-
nished by parties or their solicitors, unless so written,
the parties or solicitors furnishing them shall not be
entitled to be paid for the same.
3. In case any solicitor who shall be required to fur-
nish any such copy as aforesaid shall either refine, or
.for two clear days from the time when the application
for such copy shall have been made shall neglect to
furnish the same, the person by whom such application
shall have been made shall be at liberty to procure a
copy from the office in which the original document
shall be or shall have been filed or left, in the same way
as if no such application had been made to the solicitor ;
and in such case no costs shall be due or payable to the
solicitor so making default, in respect of the copy or
copies so applied for.
4. The taxing masters shall not allow any costs in re-
spect of any copy so taken as aforesaid, unless the same

silver,
The weight of the national debt in gold amounts to
14,088,475 lbs., or 6,289 tons, 9c wt., 3qrs., 131b5.; in
141bs. To transport this debt across the seas, in gold, it
266,666,6691b5., or 119,047 tons, 12cwt., lqr.,
would require a fleet of 25 ships, of 250 tons
burthen each. To carry the debt by land it
would require 12,580 one-horse carte, each cart
being loaded with half a ton of gold. These would
extend in one unbroken line 351 miles. If conveyed
by soldiers, and every soldier were to carry 501bs. weight I
in his knapsack, it would require au army of 281,769
men. Eight hundred millions of sovereigns piled one
upon another, or formed into one close column, would
extend 710 miles. If this column were commenced at
the Land's End and continued northward, it would
reach ten miles beyond John O'Groat's House. The
same number of sovereigns laid flat, in a straight line,
and touching each other, would extend 11,048 miles, or
more than 1i times round the moon. Eight hundred
millions of one-pound Bank of England notes, sewed
together, would cover a turnpike road 40 feet wide and
1,052 miles long, or from Land's End to John O'Groat's
and nearly half-way back ' again. If the notes were
sewed together, end to end, they would form a belt
long enough to go four times round the world, and
sixteen times round the moon. The whole popula-
tion of the world is estimated at .a thousand million
souls. An equal distribution of the national debt
would give Sixteen shillings to every man, woman, and
child, or four pounds to every family on the face of
the earth, Were Britain to conquer all Europe, and
levy a general poll-tax, to liquidate the present debt she
must have from every man, woman, and child 51. 17e.
7id., or from every family thrOughout Europe 291.85.
20. Supposing for a moment such a thing possible, as
that we could procure from the Mexican mines silver in
sufficient quantity to pay off the debt, it wouldso require
to bring it to England a fleet of 476 ships, of 2
each. To carry it to the Bank of England in 1-horse carte,
each containing half a ton of silver, it would take
238,095. These ranged in one unbroken line would ex-
tend 676 miles, or from Land's End to Wick, 24 miles
from John O'Groat's. If carried by men, each loaded with
501bs. weight, it would require 5,33,333, or 1,391,033
in addition to the whole adult male
population of Great
Britain.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN PARIS.

An old gentleman of property, aged 76, stopped a few
evenings ago at the wit,d,w of a print:hop on the Boule-
vards to look at the engravings occasionally snaking ÜBO
of a valuable eyeglass to af4sist his sight. As he was
about to quit the spot, he found to his annoyance that
the eyeglass had been cut from the cord to which it was
attached, and, as he valtn:d it very highly, he broke out
into lamentations. A crowd soon collected round him,
and presently a well-dressed, gentleman-like looking
man, said, " Sir, I perceive your loss causes you great
emotion, and therefore I offer you my arm to accompany
you home." The old gentleman took the stranger's arm,
and as they walked along told him that he was going
to dice at the house of a relative, M. de It-. The
stranger listened to him with such interest that the old
gentleman became loquacious, and gave him an account
of the various circumstances of his life • and, amongst
other things, he related, with evident pride, that a Ger-
man prince had, for some services rendered, made him
a present of a valuable dinner service in silver-gilt,
and he described with some minutes, ss the princi-
pal articles composing it ; he also said that his valet
being absent in Belgium, he had then only an old
female servant in his house. When the old gentleman
had arrived at the residence of M. do R--, he took
leave of the stranger, and, handing him his card, gave
him a pressing invitation to visit him. The stranger
went straight to the gentleman's house, and said to the
old servant, "I come from your waiter, who is at this
moment dining with M. de It--, to request you to
give me certain certain articles of his dinner service,
which he requires for a personage of distinction, who is
unexpectedly to dine with that gentlemen," and he gave
a description of the articles. As the servant, however,
hesita,..rd to give them he said, "To cor vice you that I
really come from your master, here is his eyeglass and a
card bearing his name and address." On seeing these
objects the woman without further' hwitation gave the
man the things he asked for, and he went away. But
he had not gone far before a man tapped him on the
shoulder, and said, " My good Louis 1"--, be kind
enough to follow me to the commissary of police I"
The person thus addressed turned deadly pale, and
looked round as if contemplating flight ; but as he saw
a policeman approaching he intimated that he would
accompany him. The man who had addressed him was
a police agent in plain clothes, and be had seen the
robbery of the eyeglass. He at the same time recog-
nised the thief as a dangerous pickpocket, who con-
fined his operations to the higher classes, and who bad
only recently returned to Paris from the German water-
ing places. Thinking that after the robbery on the
Boulevards he would attempt some other, the officer,
instead of arresting him at once, followed him at a
little distance. The thief, who has been frequently in
the hands of justice, belongs to a respectable family.
He has been sent to the Prefecture of Pelice to await
his trial.
