ST. JAMES'S HALL.

Another of the popular concerts of the Vocal
Association is to be given at this hall to-morrow
evening. The great success of the former concerts,
and the increasing reputation of the hall as a place
of musical entertainment, render its atttractions
sufficient to compensate for the increased heat of
the weather. We are glad to find that
Herr Joachim, whose performance excited
such enthusiasm on the last occasion,
is
announced, and Herr Rubinstein adds his
name to the list. Madame Rudersdorff,
Madame Sherrington, and many other vocalists of
celebrity will appear, and Mr. Lazarus will also
delight the lovers of instrumental music of a high
order. The Vocal Association will perform some of
their most popular part-songs and madrigals, and
the whole programme offers the greatest attractions
to the seekers of amusement, as well as to those
who enjoy the pet formance of really good music.

The Liverpool Marine Service Association have it in
contemplation to establish a floating school for the in-
,.truction of sons of members and other boys desirous
of qualifying themselves for a nautical life, and an ap-
plication will be made to the Admiralty to grant a
vessel for the purpose.

THE CAGLIARI.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
',second edition) says—

" I believe the public may congratulate her
Majesty's Government on having sent to Naples
an ultimatum. The Government of the Two
Sicilies is called upon to pay the demanded in-
demnification for Park and Watt, or submit the
difficulty to mediation within a limited period. I
believe also that the British Cabinet will act with
Piedmont in pressing for a release of the Cagliari
and her crew. Should the King resist, and a
British squadron enter the Bay of Naples, I can
assure you, on the best authority, that there is no
intention on the part of the enemies of the King
to make any demonstration. The national party
in Italy will never again indulge in isolated
movements ; in fact, Mazzini and his policy no
longer exists. The Great Powers need not fear
any " revolutionary" movement in the penin-
sula."

PARIS, MONDAY.
M. de Pen°, who was wounded in a duel with
M. Hyenne, is much better. He has at length
been able to take some solid food, and it is hoped
he will soon bear removal to Paris.

Although the question of the Nicaragua inter-
oceanic canal has not yet been brought before the
public in a tangible shape, nor has the convention
bean circulated in any French paper, the opinion of
many persons i., that it is a failure, at least for the
present, and that from financial as well as political
reasons.

VIENNA, JUNE 5.

NAVAL AND

Durin the last 48 hours there has been such a
violent panic here that the moat valuable private
stock has been sold with feverish haste, and at
ruinously low prices. Credit Bank Shares (at
20011.), which had gradually risen to 270f1.' are at
21811., although it is well known to the finance
worl that a large dividend will be paid on them ;
and Northern Railroad Shares, which towards the
end of the war were at 22011., were yesterday
quoted at [6311. On inquiring of some of the lead
leg men on 'Change what bad led to the panic,
they were at a loss to reply to my question. Some
thought that Credit Bank Shares had fallen because
Baron Rothschild had announced his intention to
retire from the administration, and others " be-
lieved" that things were not progres.s.ng fauourably
at Paris. The great public only suspects that
there have been dissantions in the Conference,
but it is evident that a fw individuals have taken
advantage of their superior knowledge, and sold
largely with the intention of re-purchasing at
reduced prices. It is generally believed that the
rupture between the house of Rothschild and the
Credit Bank is complete, but a compromise will
ultimately be effectod. Semi-official peacemakers
are already hard at work, and a project for an
" honourable peace" has already been drawn up.
Government stock has been but little affected by
the panic, and the foreign exchanges were lower
yesterday than they have been for many a long
day. London bills (long and short) were at
1011. 10k,

MILITA

The B troop of Royal Horse Artillery, in com-
mand of Captain Johnson, marched to Knights-
bridge Barracks yesterday from head-quarters,
Woolwich, to be in readiness to proceed to Worm-
wood-scrubs this morning to join a brigade of the
household and other cavalry, to be reviewed to-
day byMajor-General the Earl of Cardigan, K. C. 8.,
Inspecting General of Cavalry. The B troop of
Royal Horse Artillery are under orders to march
on Thursday next from Woolwich fur Aldershott.
Orders were yesterday issued at Woolwich for
the assembling of the garrison on Thursday next
on the review ground, to go through a field-day's
evolutions, in honour of his Excellency the Swedish
Minister in London and some other foreign per-
sonages, who are io visit Woolwich on the cccasion.
The B and half of the H. field batteries were yes-
terday afternoon marched to Woolwich-common to
take up camp quarters, as weil as a troop of the
Military Train.
The non-commissioned officers attached to the
East IncliaCompany's depots at Chatham Garrison
have presented Sergeant-Major J. Bramall, the
senior non-commissioned officer of the Ist battalion
of infantry, with a massive silver goblet and cover
as a mark of the high respect entertained towards
him, on the occasion of his retiring from the Ist
battalion, having received a staff appointment.
Sergeant-Major Bramall has been 21 years in the
service, and for his exemplary conduct during the
whole of that period he was recently awarded the
good-conduct medal and gratuity of 151.
The Dublin Freeman says it is rumoured in mi-
litary circles that, in further compliment to the
Irish nation, the lances now in use .by the sth
Royal Irish Dragoons are to be withdrawn imme-
diately, and a most formidable weapon,. on the
principle of the old Irish pike, is to be issued to
' the carps. The pike will be furnished with a pen-
non of green, similar in form to the lance flag.
The gunboats Sandfly and Spanker, of 60-horse
power each, attached to the Coastguard service,
were yesterday docked at Woolwich for an over-
haul by the engineer.
Commander the Hon. T. Pakenham yesterday
took up his commission at Woolwich, and hoisted
his pendant on board her Majesty's screw steam-
ship Racer, 11, recently built at Deptford. She
was yesterday taken up by the master-rigger of the
yard, and will receive her masts to-day.
The screw steamship Archer, 13, has nearly com-
pleted her total of 170 officers and crew, and was
yesterday admitted into the fitting basin at Wool-
wich. The following officers have taken up their
commissions and joined, viz.—Captain Sanderson,
First-Lieutenant Knowles, Second-Lieutenant
Thomas, Third-Lieutenant Pitman, Mr. Childs
and Mr. Hughes, surgeons ; Mr. l'lnnes, chief
engineer ; and Mr. Crump and Mr. Montague,
clerks. •
The Comus 14, Commander Richard Dawkins,
which was paid off at Chatham yesterday, has
been in commission upwards of five years, hav-
ing sailed from Sheerness in Juuo 1853, where
she was commissioned by Captain W. A. Fellowes.
During the whole time she has been in commis-
sion she has been attached to the China squadron,
under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael
Seyoirciro,ngK:Cdaßn.t,oann,
Shanghai, and Amoy, having d has been in succession at
Hong
been stationed at the last port 17 months. The
Comus was exceedingly successful in puting down
piracy in the Chinese waters, and on one occasion
' destroyed 11 pirate junks which had for a long time
infested the Formosa Channel, the crews being for
the most part killed. In 1855 Captain Fellowes
was succee,red in the command of the COlllll3 by
Commander Robert Jenkins, until that officer
joined the Actaeon, surveying vessel, when he was
succeeded by Commander R. Dawkins. A greet
deal of sickness has prevailed on board during the
time the,Com us has b3eu in commission, and out of
130 who sailed from Eugletnd iu 1853 only 63 have
returned, the remainder having ei her died or been
invalided home, the deaths arising chiefly from
dysentery and fever. Six deaths occurred on board
during the voyage home. On being paid off yes-
terday Commander Dawkins assembled the whole
of the crew and expressed the gratification he ex-
perienced in having commanded such an excellent
body of men, remarking that during the five years
the Comus had been in commission there had not
been a single case of flogging on board. Ile then
presented the following gratuities for good conduct
by order of Admiralty—viz., William Bishop, cap-
tain of the forecastle, 71. ; Charles Rie-terley, cap-
tain of the afterguard, 71. ; John Conelley, boat-
swain's mate, 71. ; and Henry Latter, captain of
the mizantop, Si.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Lieut. F. G. C. Paget to com-
mand the Oberon - Jozeph Wallis, master, addi-
tional to the Blenheim; and W. J. Billings, sur-
por, to the Hydra.

SPOR,TIN s NOT&.I

ASCOT, HAMPTON, AND NEWTON.

The absence of the Court from Ascot did not
diminish the "glories" of the gathering, and did
not detract from the great success of the meeting.
The muster on the Cup day was immense, larger
than was, perhaps, ever known, not even excepting
the year when the "Allied Sovereigns" visited the
Heath. Mr. Careless was at his wit's end to supply
the demands of his hungry and thirsty patrons, and
long before the conclusion of the day's sport a bottle
of lemonade or ginger beer could .not have been
obtained for love or money. I readily endorse the
expressions of commendation which the newspapers
have put forth with reference to the admirable
manner in which the business arrangements were
carried out. In no department was confusion dis-
played, and Mr. E. Ilitiburd himself personally
superintended the management of affairs, and to
his exertions and Isis activity were all persons in-
debted for a meeting pre-eminently characterised
for its comfort and its pleasantness. At the "Royal
Meeting," too,
_an ex'lnple was set to the ruling
autharities at Newmarke`, in the provision which
was made for the accommodation of the gentlemen
of the press. A stand was specially placed at their
disposal, a room will stored with writing mate-
rials was reserved for them, and no disposition was
evinced to obstruct them in the discharge of their
duties, or to burke information, with which the
public has a right to be supplied.
The people of Berkshire and the inhabitants of
Windsor regarded the absence of the Queen as a
real grievance, and expressed their disappeintment
with some bitterness. The alleged hostility which
a certain high p,,nson'tge at Court has evinced to-
wards the national pastime of this country was, it was
supposed, openly and intentionally expressed by
the withdrawal of the Royal patronage from the
meeting. How these things may be I have no
wish 'to inquire, but certes the Prince Consort
selected a most inopportune time for his visit to
the continent. Royalty has its duties as well as
its privileges, and surely one of ies most irksome
duties ought not to be that. which requires it for
two hours only in the course of, the year to place
the stamp of its approbation upon a popular
and well conducted pastime of the people.
Still several divers great and noble person-
ages were in the private stands, and their presence
somewhat compensated the sight-loving visitors for
the absence of the Queen and Court. The Duke
de Malakhoff attracted considerable attention, and
the people seemed well pleased at the evident in-
terest which he took in the proceedings. The
Prince cf Oude and his attendants were on the top
of the royal stand, and the spectators wondered
why a live prince, who had a real crown on his
head, should not be admitted into the saloon of the
stand, especially as the saloon was occupied
only by a few " nobodies" of the Court.
The Duke of Cambridge, who was as affable
and as jolly as ever, was also present, and Lord
Derby bad
from the cares of office to
breathe the pure air, and to seek s
some amusement
in the gayscene before him wi hoot, strange to
say, bringaig upon him thewrath and indignation
of the learning
Advertiser.
The sport was, perhaps, scarcely up to its usual
quality, still it was not devoid of interest. The
Trial Stakes brought out a slapping fine mare in
Rosabel, who only requires time to establish
a great reputation. Toxophilite experienced
some diMetily in giving 5 lbs. and a beat-
ing to Mentmore, who was ridden by Wells
in a style in which ho is not likely to forget. Toe
horse had not a chance of " cuAing it," as is his
wont, if lie had tried. The success of Sedbury for
the Gold Vase showed that Mr. Howard had net
made any mistake when he des:F.:red. that he was
the best of his Derby horses ; but to reconcile his
running at Epsom with his performances at Ascot
is impossible. 0 Fisherman, however, ought not to
have been defea.ed; and the policy of allowing him
to make all the running under his steadying impost
was mere thanquestionable. Longrange ran abetter
horse than he did at Epsom, and of er all he scenic
capable of saying. Tee stakes brought a bad field,
and the success of Pensioner gave Messrs. Mere is,
Warrington, and Mills a
good turn, a turn which
they thoroughly deserve, and which delighted their
confreres of the book and pencil. Their luck was
in again on the Friday, when Greenwich Fair
placed a balance on the right side of their accounts.
Wednesday was the most enjoyable of the four
days, arid, as usual, its Hunt Cup brought out a
large field. The result showe that no mis-
take had been made in Hesperithusa's trial, I,
and that the once serviceable Coroner is now °
more fitted for a cab rank taan the race course.
If nay memory serves me aright, this
horse was sold by Mr. T. Parr, when a two-yr-old .
for about 1,40011 ult, trumpery ! Ch. Moses ! asJeanaes de la Plush would say. Eclipse beat :

_TUESDAY y EVENING, JUNE 8, 1858.

TELLIGE NCE. i Fitzßoland in gallant style, but Fitz seemed to me
big and lusty, and he will, or I am much mistaken,
be bad to beat for the St. Leger. Perhaps Fisher-
man and Arsenal are the two best horses of their
respective years, and their meeting for the Cup
was a most interesting event. The old horse won
cleverly, and he and Wells received quite an ova-
tion on their return to the enclosure. Lord Londes-
borough, who seems to " coquette" with the turf,
must b ave regrAted purchasing Warlock, who, how-
ever, may became valuable as a stud horse. Such a
two-yr-old as North Lincoln has not probably been
seen since the early days of the Flying Dutchman and
West Australian ; Musjid and Marionette who
were behind him at Ascot aro likely to be heard of
to much advantage, the former in particular is
likely to play a prominent part in the Derby
betting. The last days' sport presented no "feature"
for comment, and having sketched the most
prominent incidents of the Ascot week I will direct
attention to coming events.
The Cockneys will have glorious weather for
their revels on Moulsey Hurst. More booths than
ever will this year be seen at Hampton, and
the gathering is likely to be immense. Although
the racing will not be important, yet it will be
quite interesting enough to excite the curiosity of
the spectators and to afford employment to the
betting fraternity.
Sixteen are nominated for the Stand Plate, and
really Mr. Mellish's two, Tame Deer and Little
Treasure, are the most noteworthy names "oa
paper." The Hurst Plate may be won by Amorous
Boy. A larger acceptance than usual has been ob-
tained for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and I
see nothing amongst the likely starters to interfere
with the chances of Barbarity and Lord Stately.
For the Claremont Stakes Zitella and Rosabel have
the most attractions. The Innkeepers' Plate I shall
assign to Freemason. For the Visitors' Plate, Bar-
barity and Inder are the most trustworthy. For
the Richmond Plate, I shall select Naughty Boy.
Somerset will win the Queen's Plate. The Bushy
Plate will perhaps go to Yesa, and the Railway
Plate to the Greek.
Whilst the inhabitants of Cockaigne are disport-
ing themselves at Hampton the pleasure folk of
the Midland Counties will have their three days
out at Newton. At present, as very little is known
relative to the runners, my notes on the probable
re►ult of the sport must be brief. Joyeuse will
win both her races, Hesperithusa the Visitors'
Plate, M. Dobler the Lancashire Trades' Plate,
and either Physician or Orchehill may carry off the
Great Newton Handicap.
