COVENT-GARDEN CONCERTS.

The concerts now being given at Covent Garden have
more than fulfilled the expectations created by the names
of the two distinguished conductors. They may fairly be
pronounced a vast improvement even on the attractive
concerts of the late Mr. Mellon. Signor Bottesini, who is
a Joachim among double-bass players, is almost equally
skilled as a conductor. Ms merits as a thorough musi-
cian are significantly shown in the operatic selection
from "Romeo o Giulietta." This has been done in 5
masterly manner, and presents a series of agreeable remi-
niscences gliding one into another, without the clumsY
transitions that usually distinguish such compilations.
Some of the music of this opera that on the stage passed
almost unnoticed is found much more effective in its pre-
sent form. This is notable in the quaint charming a.r
for the page, so coldly received, notwithstanding the
graceful musician-like singing of Mdlle. Nau, that more
than compensated for her childlike voice. It has been given
to the cboe, and seems to attract more than any other
marceau. Signor Bottesini has introduced the wedding
music omitted this season at the Royal Italian Opers,
and in the march we see how Gounod is indebted for his
leading themes to Richard Wagner. If "Romeo
Giulietta" had been put on the stage as Gounod's first
work, its reception would have been very different to
that bestowed on it last season at Paris and in London.
However, notwithstanding its more than ever evident
want of tangible melody, and its poverty in harmony,
Signor Bottesini has admirably succeeded in offering
selection that is received every evening with increasing
favour. But the great attraction that renders these con-
certs superior to all those that have preceded them is al°
dance music of Herr Johann Strauss, conducted by the
composer in his own inimitable manner. In the WS
when M. Musard commenced the open air concerts in the
Champs Elysee, dance music was the chief, if not the solo
feature in the programme. It was the same with
Jullien's deafening entertainments in this country.
the latter case the dance music was something awful,
and, consequently, a success. Of late years a better taste
has been forced, not without some labour, upon the
people, and the first part of these annual promenade con
certs has been devoted almost exclusively to the mere
important works of the great masters, and has been tie'
cepted by audiences with a graceful condescension. Tll°
second part, however, has been invariably reserved for
the dance music of native and foreign composers. To our
disgust we have had too much of the former and too little,
or rather none at all, of the latter. If M. Jullien's waltzes,
polkas, and massive army quadrilles were terrifying, win°,
shall we say of the sickly effusions that have for pas"
seasons disfigured the autumnal concerts at Covent Garden
and elsewhere? How was it, that whilst Paris and Ge"
many and the whole Continent rejoiced in the fascinatia
compositions of the elder Strauss, and the greatest ceal;
posers listened with delight to waltzes like the 44 Sophin
and "Pulsationen," and pronounced them beautiful, that
t
we were condemned to hear our glorious orchestras algb„
after night fiddle away at the " Guards " or " MabelA
It was simply a degradation for such bands to be obligei:
to play such music. Not a particle of originality, but
ways a maudlin attempt at what was styled " volupturo
melody." There was no deficiency in the number of nal%
composers, but they were all alike. If they had eVe,,
borrowed their ideas from good sources, it might
been something, but they were indifferent whom thea
patronized and stole from each other. And crowd
audiences rose up and shouted with rapture. d

But happily this season Mr. Russell has introduced o
to the son of that Strauss who formerly so bewitched
musical world at Vienna, and who was known and aPtrue
elated everywhere, excepting, of course, London. .-`.ft
sou may not, in all instances, possess that wonderful gbllt'io
of melody which in the father was unequalled; cu
such a waltz as the "Morgenblactter," there is not 1005
to choose between them. We find in his composition

weary, but please at all times. Wedo not wilt, to it
to this class of composition more than its duo ran`'
in the hands of Herr Strauss and his son it is indeScr:,
bably fascinating. As a conductor Herr Johann is t°ol-c,
quelled. Without his own interpretation, even ifo
" 3lorgenblactter " would lose much of its charra cot

—sometimes on every bar—and infuses poetry `nth

time marking is characteristic and graceful, and his °6O
fire and enthusiasm are quickly caught by the perforni,os
and the audience. Wonderful to relate, this charul

sive audience grows more and more enthusiastic. oe
We cannot say much for the remaining items

is almost brilliant. There is also Mr. Levey,
facetiously advertized as " Paganini Redivivue." oral
there is Master Bonnay, a phenomenon whose eltrane
nary skill on the xylophone, from which he extracts ]olie,
better music than the " Redivivus " does from the 1",,000
induces us to hope that he exercises his talents on
1;01re
genuine musical instrument. Greater variety and,, „ere/
classical music, with some of the waltzes of Straus"
will render these concerts all that can be desired.

With regard to the tea market the following is
from Messrs. Layton and Co.'s circular :—The tea
11arket during the past fortnight has continued in
a
very depressed condition, and prices must be
quoted lower for all descriptions. The tele-
grams received from China, reporting large
shipments, have produced increased heaviness, espe-
cially in the finer grades of Congou, which show a
raaterialdecline, whileat auction the medium to good
qualities, both of black and red leaf, have gone at
a reduction of ld. to 2d. per lb. The business by
Private contract is, perhaps, rather above the
average, owing to the decided willingness of
holders to realise old stocks, but the actual do-
t° aad is very moderate, and, notwithstanding
the satisfactory deliveries, home buyers are with
difficulty tempted to operate, unless at still lower

SAD STORY OF THE SEA.

The brig Day Star arrived off Gravesend on Fri-
day,
in charge of the chief mate and a portion of
the crew of the ship Golden Dream, now on her
voyage to Japan, having picked her up at sea with
a portion of her crew dead under shocking circum-
stances. The report made by the chief mate of the
Golden Dream is as follows :—" At 5.30 a.m. on
the 15th July, St. Nicholas, one of the Cape de
Verde Islands, bearing N.E., distant about forty-
five miles, saw a sail two points on our star-
board bow. As we approached saw that she
had a signal of distress flying in her main rigging,
and her sails all aback. On getting within hail,
asked her what was the matter. A very feeble voice
answered, ► The ship is half full of water, and all
our crew are dying with fever.' Our captain ordered
a boat to be lowered, and I put off to the vessel,
our captain giving strict orders to be careful in
boarding. On getting alongside we found her to be
the brig Day Star, from Bathurst, Rio Grande, bound
to London in ballast. On boarding her, found the
crew in the last stage of exhaustion. They were lying
on the deck, some evidently dying. The chief mate
of her could just manage to crawl about, and he
referred me to the ship's log-book for information.
In it I found that the day after the ship's sailing
from Bathurst a fever broke out, which in a few
days completely prostrated the entire crew, two only
being able to navigate the ship, and these were
subsequently stricken down and the ship laid
helpless. On the 19th of July, one able seaman
named IL Nichols was the first to perish from
the effects of the fever. He was found dead in his
berth. llis corpse was at once committed to the
deep. The next victim was the master, Captain
Lever, then a cabin boy, and so went on till only
five remained alive, and these were considered in
a dying condition when I went on board the vessel.
The vessel, when off Mayo, sent a fisherman to
ask permission to anchor the brig Day Star off the
island. The Portuguese boat came off with a letter
from her Britannic Majesty's Consul stating that,
as the ship had sickness on board, it would not be
permitted, and directed her to proceed to St.
Vincent ; and it was while she was thus proceeding
that she was fallen in with by the Golden Dream.
On attempting to leave, the survivors implored to
be taken into my boat, as they knew they should
all die. I told them not to think I intended to
abandon them, but I must report the condition of
the vessel to my captain, and that I would soon
return. I then had the steward lowered into the
boat, and took him with me to the Golden Dream.
Captain Wise, on hearing the condition of the ship,
determined to remove the survivors to his ship,
which was directly done, and they received every
comfort and attention. Five of our crew volun-
teered with me to return to England and take to
the pumps, and succeeded in pumping the water
out. They then well washed and fumigated the
cabins, and made sail for London. The crew of
the Day Star went on in the Golden Dream to
Japan."

MARKET day.

MARK LANE.

At the various country markets held on Saturday there
was a good show of new English wheat, the demand for
which was heavy, at a decline varying from is to 3s per
quarter. Flour was very quiet, but sp►ing corn generally
was firm in value.

On the Continent the grain trade ruled quiet, on easier
terms.

671 f 81 71

The imports of foreign grain, &c., into London last week
consisted of 25,681 quarters of wheat, 2,874 barley, 39,075
oats, 3,205 beans, 5,983 peas, 157 tares, 150 linseed, 10,798
rapeseed, 5,610 maize, 4,191 sacks, and 8,446 barrels of flour.
The supply of old English wheat on sale here to-day was
very limited—if now, seasonably extensive. Owing to the
favourable accounts at baud i❑ reference to the progress of
harvest-work, and to the yield of the new crops, the de-
mand for both red and white qualities was heavy at a de-
cline in the quotations, 'compared with Monday last, of
from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. At that decline a clearance
was not effected.

The show of foreign wheat was good. Even the finest
samples wore nogleeted, and pries gave way is. to 2s. per
quarter.

102;
1091

There was a fair demand for floating cargoes of wheat
at about previous rates.

191
109/ I I

Barley, owing to its scarcity, was quite as dear as last
week.

The malt trade was heavy, and late rates were barely
supported. The supply of malt was tolerably good.
Oats maintained their previous value, with a steady con-
sumptive demand.
The few beans on the stands commanded full quotations.
Peas were quite as dear as last week.

The flour trade was heavy, and prices had a drooping
tendency. eosntry flour was offering at quite is per
2801bs. less money.

100 i

Samples of new English barley, grey peas, and white
mustard-seed were on offer in good condition. Prices,
however, were uncertain. Barley was held at 40s, and
grey peas at the same price.
