CANTERBURY HALL.

This popular music hall was last evening crovvded to excess..
Hour after hour visitors, literally by hundreds, unwillingly
left the doors to seek an evening's amusement elsewhere ;
and many of those who, by early arrival obtained admit-
tance, were compelled to be content with the spacious area
of the music hall, the ante-hall, and the Fine-arts Gallery,
ePealluindigence, of the doors.
for, to the

THE TALLOW TRADE.

Messrs. Smith and Charles having issued the
annexed important circular with respect to the
tallow trade under the date of April 25. They
say

Saturday having been a hbliday in the tallow
market, the effect on the market of the news from
Vienna, received on Thursday evening, was not
known till to-day. It was felt this morning that
the natural effect of war in countries (such as AUS-
trio, and France) which are consumers, not pre"
ducers, of tallow, should be to leave more of Or
production of the world for the consumers of this
country, and it is consequently the opinion of many
parties that we out rather to have seen a decline in
prices than an advance under present circumstances.
We have to report, however, that the price of tal-
low, at one period, advanced to-day' ls. to ls.
per cwt., and this advance was without a ques-
tion the result of the anticipations of the trade
that political affairs will not leave this coun-
try long in present circumstances. It is to be
recollected that in the absence of Parliamen"
tary control the fate of the country is Tell
much in the hands of the Ministry of the day'
and one naturally seeks for information as t°
his views, in the circumstances which are nell
transpiring, nor need we look far. On Monday
evening Lord Derby spoke thus (discussing the
probability of the neutrality of this country)—` S.?
long as it may last,' he said, it must be an armot
neutrality, enabling us to take our part on that
side which the honour and dignity of our country,'
may indicate as best deserving our support ;'
further, he continued—' God grant we may u°
spared the necessity of entering so dangerous .a
path.' This language, commented upon as it ie
to-day by the report in the daily journals tit
every British station in the Mediterranean is being
strengthened, naturally affects the minds of holders
of goods, and we must expect very considerable
fluctuations in our article; already, to-day, the
~
market has fluctuated nearly ls. per cwt. ; opening
with hardly a seller, 58s. was soon paid for deliver";
in October to December, and 575. for June. Late,'
in the day, however, there was less firmness, an
the market closed—Spot, 665. 565.' 9d. ; June, 665:
6d. ; July to September, 575. ; October to Dec"
ber, 575. 6d.; palm oil, 455. ; cocoa nut oil (Cochin):
425. ; ditto Ceylon, 41s. ; town tallow, 565. net
cash; no Australian or South American offering'
no Odessa in the market." •

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the

By F. B. COURTENAY, 111. R C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

London, England, 1859-04-26

Ayton not a few from far and near will, in the body
or otherwise, be there to see.
One good coming out of this kind of evil is per-
fectly obvious. We cannot doubt that Mr. Ber-
keley will perceive that, in common gratitude, he
must reward Mrs. Milne Home with the office of
one of the Lady Patronesses of the Ballot Society.
But the evil of such things is too great to be atoned
for merely by their incidentally tending_towards
the production of their own remedy. They are
noxious and eminently un-Conservative, socially as
well as politically, sowing jealousies between
classes that should be united, and drawing reproach
upon those whom it is desirable to have held in
good repute. In the present case, it is very probable
that no harm was intended—that the fair letter-
writer had, as it is said to be somewhat the manner
of her sex, spoken without due consideration of the
facts and the feelings involved. The easier, there-
fore, it is to make a little reparation, and let the
whole affair disappear in good humour. The proper
thing to do is to cause the objects of the Invere sk
letter authentically to understand that that docu-
ment is regretted and recalled, and that, as the
only way now left to put both the landlady awl
the tenants right with the public, it is most respect--
fully hoped that all voters on the estates whose
conscience may permit permit will now go up for
Robertson and Reform.

GROUSE AND BLACK GAME.—The open winter

favourable to grouse and black game in the Highlands. A
Perthshire correspondent writes that, having visited the

" I have completed my examination of the water
of the docks, and find it to be in a better state than
that of the river. The water is less agitated in
these basins than in the river, and is consequently
freer from suspended matter. In fact, the docks
servo as settling pools, in which the turbid water of
the river becomes clear by repose, and the mud thus-
carried in it is removed by dredging. The water
of the West India Docks is remarkably clear and
bright, and the appearance of that in the East
India India. Docks is nearly as good. The water in
both the East and West India Docks, from their
situation on the river, contains a much larger pro-
portion of sea water brought up by the tide than
the water either of the London or the St. Katha-
rine's Docks.

" The West India Docks possess the advantage
of free communication with the river by their
opposite extremities, and are thus particularly well
situated for the change of water from the river when
necessary—an advantage which the London Docks,
from the arrangement of their basins, may also
employing
lthinemg themselves of, though to a less extent, by
oy
the entrance through the Hermitage
Dock as well as the other entrances.
" The samples of water from the docks are col-
lected on the Ist of June. The sample of the river
at high water was taken in midstream opposite
Somerset-house, on the 31st of May ; that of the
river at low water was taken at the same point on
the 2d of June ; heavy
.showers having fallen during
the preceding 24 hours in both cases. The quantities

CREMORNE GARDENS.

Mr. Simpson held "high revel" yesterday at these plea-
sant gardens, which were densely crowded from an early
hour by a company who found abundant sources of amuse-
ment in his prolific bill of fare. The lateness of the season
has preserved the beauty and freshness of the grounds
in a remarkable degree, and Cremorne was never viewed to
greater advantage than at present. There are alnindant
novelties in the programme to gratify the tastes of habitues,
while the staple amusements of the place still furnish ample
enjoyment to wondering visitors. Among the recent
novelties may be mentioned a new ballet, entitled "The
Dream of Love," which is illustrated by some of Grieve
and Telbin's best scenery, and supported by an admirable
corps of dancers. This is alone worth the admission money,
and when the varied attractions of the gardens are remem-
bered, the marionettes, the cirque oriental, the concert, and
the thousand and one other modes of gratifying the visitor,
what wonder that Cremorne still holds its "pride of place"
as the most successful place of al fresco amusement in
Europe.

HERB OBERTHUR'S MORNING

CONCERT.

This accomplished musician gave his annual morning
concert, at Willis's Rooms, on Saturday, with great suc-
cess. The vocalists were Madame Clara Novello, Herr
Reichardt, and Mr. Weiss. The instrumentalists were
Herr Oberthur on the harp, Herr Ganz on the piano, Mr
Lazarus on the clarionet, and Herr Kies and Herr Lidel on
violin and violoncello. Madame Clara Novello sang two
pretty German " Lieds," and Meyerbeer's " Ranz des
Vaches," in which she excited the enthusiasm of the
audience. Mr. Weiss gave full effect to his own spirited
arrangement of Longfellow's " Slave's Dream." Herr
Oberthiir's performance on the harp is well known for its
finish and brilliancy. On the present occasion he dis-
tinguished himself highly both as a composer and a per-
former. His Trio original for violin, violoncello, and
harp, was played with great effect, and he performed an
elegiac solo, also of his own composition, which is dedicated
to the memory cf Parish Alvars, with much!skill and expres-
sion. A duet for the clarionet and harp, played by Mr.
Lazarus and Herr Oberthur, was sure to delight the
audience, and it was warmly applauded. Herr Ganz, on
the piano, was also well received. There were several other
concerted pieces worthy of notice, and the concert may be
ranked among the most successful of the season.

GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER-SQUARE.

It was a pleasing portion of our duty yesterday to pay a
visit to this popular and instructive place of amusement.
The dioramas of the tour of the Rhine, of China and Japan,
and the campaign in India, have already been noticed in
our columns on several occasions. We might mention that
amongst the most recent additions to the already excellent
attractions provided by Mr. Wyld for the entertainment of
the public is a grand moving diorama of the sites and scenes
of the war in Italy, giving illustrations of the most important
positions of the belligerent parties, and well described by an
attendant lecturer. 'These dioramas, however, only form one
portion of the amusement, for the Globe itself must not be
forgotten, neither must the collection of trophies, models,
charts, &c., be omitted. Altogether there can be no doubt
but that great credit is due to Mr. Wyld for his endeavours
to maintai4 the character which the Olebe has already ob.

tained as an institution combining instruction with amuse-
ment ; and, therefore, we have every faith in the public giv-
ing that gentleman a continuance of their support.

STATE OF THE THAMES.

The following report has just been presented to
the Metropolitan Board of Works :
"To THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
" King's College, London, June 9.
" Gentlemen,—The progressive rise of tempera-
ture, both in the atmosphere and in the river
during the past week, accompanied by a diminished
fall of rain, has been attended by a marked change
for the worse in the state of the Thames, which is
rendered particularly evident at the upflow of the
tide, when the mud, in which decomposition has
been promoted by exposure for some hours to the
sun's rays, is stirred up by the advancing water,
and the imprisoned gases are set free.
"Putrefaction is always more easily prevented
than checked after it has commenced. It is, there-
fore, desirable that immediate measures should be
taken to prevent, as far as possible, the addition
to the river of any matters from the sewers in an
active state of putrescence. .

" With a view to this object, I have, during the
past week, been in almost daily communication
with the chairman of the board, who informs me
that arrangements are complete for enabling the
deodorising agents to be mixed with the contents
of the sewers near their outfall.

"For the present, the most advisable course to
be adopted appears to he to add lime in regulated
quantities to the sewerage products before allowing
them to become mixed with the water of the river.
Some difference of opinion exists as to the effici-
ency of this mode of procedure. There is, however,
no doubt that when lime is added to recent excre-
mentitious matters it combines with some of their
constituents which are most prone to decomposition,
and forms with them a flocculent chemical com-
pound, or precipitate, which is less liable to putre-
faction than the original material. If this preci-
pitate could be separated, and the liquid portion
only be run off, as is practised at Leicester, the
subsequent offensive decomposition of the liquid
sewerage products would be effectually obviated,
as experience has fully proved. But even where
it is not practicable to effect this separation, the
use of lime at the present temperature will exert
an important influence in retarding the process of
putrefaction.
" If the liming be found as summer advances and
the temperature continues to rise to be inadequate
to check the putrefaction, other more powerful but
much more expensive deodorizing compounds to be
employed, either as adjuncts or substitutes.
" I am at present engaged in trials upon the
best means of applying those at the mouth of one
of the large sewers, and I hope to be able in a short
time to report to you the results of the trials.
" The following table will show the advance of
temperature in the river during the week that has
elapsed since June 2, the date of my last report. I
have found the temperature of the river to be 1.5
deg. to 2 deg. higher at low than at ,high water,
obviously because the volume of water is smallest
at low water, as it washes over the heated mud-
banks. There has been much thunder but little
rain during the week, the total fall amounting to
0.18 inch.

course.

Now, we advise his Imperial Field-marshalship
to draw off what yet remains of his army as soon
as possible beyond the Julian Alps, for the first of
July will not see a man of them in his own
villainy at large trampling down the burning in-
dignation of Italy. Even now they are hur-
rying away from Ancona amid the curse of
the people and without the POPE'S blessing, which
in the present instance would not avail them much.
But, as we have said before, the Austrian game of
intolerance is nearly, very nearly done up, and the
sooner the better for all concerned.

The Ministry is in course of formation with
all the tardy labour of twins ! The eldest
born has a hard fight of it with his younger
but older brother in questionable affairs. Not
satisfied with snatching the apple of discord,he would
also have the equitable chair, that he might decide
matters in a fraternal spirit. Really, there
are some men to whose ambition there arc
no bounds. Give them all, and they will want
something else. But time will set things to rights,
and that before very long.

The independent Liberals have now a weighty
responsibility thrown upon them. The division, as
well as the speaking, shows that there is a differ-
ence of opinion amongst them, Some of them who
voted in the majority, like the member for the
West Riding, and Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, whb had
said, on the first night of the debate, that he should
support the amendment, were known to lean
strongly to retaining the late Government, as afford-
ing a better prospect of carrying a valuable amount
of -Parliamentary Reform, though by no means all
they could wish. Mr. BRIGHT, their Coryphaeus,
has warned the incoming Whigs that " if they do
some of those thiAgs which they have done in time
past ills opposition would be inevitable, and he
B_ll°lllA some night or other find them, as before,
haniled over to the Philistines. They nad not
handled the Liberal party well—the Cabinet had
been exclusil;e, the policy sometimes wholly wrong,
sometimes feeble and paltering." (Loud cheers.)
Mr. ROEBUCK, of course, spoke with the most free-
dom— he cared not a straw for either party, and
some Inmt wholesome and home-hitting truths came
front his lips. Now in this position of the earnest
Reforme ra, and with altogether fourteen or fifteen
Liberals voting for the Government, we repeat that
a grave= responsibility to the people of England
rests witch the independent Liberals. Their votes
can male oT' upset a Cabinet. The majority of
them voted for the amendment, and ejected the

THEATRICAL TRIAL IN PARIS.

The trial of a case which excites some interest
in theatrical and literary circles has commenced
before the Civil Tribunal. M. Eugene de Mire -
court. a well-known author,, and M. Gabriel, a
literary man, more than seven years ago wrote a
melodrama, called La Fin du Monde ; or, Le Juge-
ment Dernier, and presented it to the Theatre de la
Port Saint-Martin. But it was not performed, and
after a while they entered into an arrangement
with M. Mery, the author, and M. Felicien David,
the composer, to the effect that the former should
transform it into the libretto of an opera, and that
the latter should set the libretto to music, subject
to the condition that they (Mirecourt and Gabriel)
should receive two-sixths of the droits d'auteur
obtained from the piece. The piece was a good
deal modified, and its title, being considered
likely to shock religious people, was changed
into Herculanum ; its principal incident, too,
the destruction of the world, was, for the
same reason, changed into the destruction of
the city of that name. At last Mery completed
the libretto, and David composed the music ; and
some months back the opera, after encountering
difficulties of various kinds, was brought out at the
Grand Opera. But the dissensison arose as to how
the proceeds were to be appropriated; Mery and
David, together with a M. Hadot, who had assisted
the former, maintaining that the original melo.
drama hand undergone such a transformation that
Gabriel and Mirecourt could in no respect be
considered as the authors of it ; these two persons
on their part, insisting on the execution of the
original bargain. The matter was referred to the
arbitration of a committee of the Dramatic Authors
society, and it decided that Gabriel and Mirecourt
should have two. sixths of the receipts, Hadot
one, Mery one, and David the remaining two.
It further decided that Gabriel and Mirecourt
should not be named in the playbills as
authors, and that Hadot should not be named,
except Mery should consent to his being so. But
after while a new question arose—namely, whether
Gabriel or Mirecourt should or should not share in
the profits of the sale of the music and the libretto, as
well as in those of the performance of the opera.
On this point it was impossible for the parties to
come to an understanding, and an action had
accordingly to be brought before the Civil Tribunal.
It was this action which came on yesterday. In
support of the pretensions of Gabriel and Mirecourt,
it was contended that, notwithstanding the modifi-
cations the piece had undergone, they must still be
considered the principal authors of it, and as such
entitled to share in the money produced by the sale;
also, that the arrangement come to about the pro-
ceeds of the performances did not in any way affect
their right to share. The tribunal, after hearing
their counsel, adjourned the case for a week.—
