MADAME WARTEL'S COACE_RT.

Last Friday morning a " Matinee Musicale" was
given at Collard's Pianoforte and Concert Rooms, at
Grosvenor-street. This lady has only recently
appeared before the London public, but there is no
doubt she will soon attain the distinguished posi-
tion to which her talents entitle her. She per-
formed one solo, which was admirably executed,
and displayed a brilliancy which attracted
universal applause. Another great success was
the performance of Signor Piatti on the violoncello.
He is the first player of the day on that instru-
ment, and his unrivalled performance elicited a
merited acclamation. M. Jules Lefort is a fine
singer, and gave a " Romance Francaise," Le Nid
Abandonne, with remarkable taste and expression.
Miss Helen MacLeod was greatly applauded in her
performances. She sang a duet with M. Lefort,
and a song with a harp accompaniment—the latter
was with Herr Oberthur. Madame Wartelplayed
in several concerted pieces, which were very ably
executed. The trio for piano, violin, and violoncello
was a very grand one, but rather too long
for the occasion. Miss Wilkinson sang two or
three airs with a very fair share of applause, and
on the whole this concert was certainly successful,
and Madame Wartel has every reason to hope that
when she has become more known she will be en-
abled to fill one of the large Concert Rooms. She is
in every way fitted for performances on an extended
scale, and her remarkable force of touch is sure to
impress those who like grand airs, while she pos-
sesses at the same time great brilliancy of execution
and correctness of performance.
London, England, 1861-06-17

LI CE Uhl THEATRE.

The first performance of "Il Ballo in Maschera"
took place on Saturday night, in presence of a
crowded audience, and was eminently successful.
The plot of this new opera is almost identical with
that of Auber's " Gustave III." Instead of Gus-
tavus King of Sweden, we have Richard Earl of
Warwick and Governor of Boston ; Count Ankas-
trom becomes Renato, the Governor's Secretary;
Oscar, the page, appears under the designation of
Edgar ; and the chief conspirators are meta-
morphosed into Samuel and Tom. Renato's
(Ankastrom's) wife, Amelia, of whom Riccardo
(Gustavus) is secretly enamoured, and Ulrica, the
sorceress, from whom both the guilty lovers take
counsel, remain in statu quo. As every incident in the
drama of M. Scribe must be familiar to our readers we
are spared the task of writing, and they the trouble
of reading, a condensed account of it.
We have the agreeable task of recording that the
complete success attending the performance was
amply merited by the exertions of the singers en-
gaged in the performance. Signor Verdi has la-
vished all his art upon the character of Amelia ; and
Madlle. Titjens, the last and grandest of Leonoras,
was apparently determined to be the first and grand-
est of Amelias. Signor Giuglini, too, is wonderfully
well suited in the music of Riccardo, which fits his
voice so perfectly that he is enabled, while singing
his very best, to lay himself out for histrionic effect.
Madame Gassier endows the music of the Page with
sparkling brilliancy, and Madame Lemaire, as
Ulrica, the sorceress, leaves absolutely nothing to
desire.

The audience were evidently pleased beyond
measure, both with the beauties of Signor Verdi's
music and the general excellence of the perform-
ance. The principal singers were unanimously re-
called and enthusiastically applauded at the fell of
the curtain.

THAMES.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A PUBLICAN.—
George Speck, a well-dressed man about 40 years of age.
the landlord of the Three Mariners public-house, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with violently
assaulting John Nowlan, a police-constable, No. 286 K.
The policeman stated that on Saturday night, at half-
past 12 o'clock, he was on duty in Three Colt-street, when
the prisoner came up to him and said, "Are you the man
that reported my house ?" to which ho replied in the affir-
mative. The prisoner said, " Yes, and I have had a sum-
mons about it to-day, and I insist upon your coming to my
house to see me serve my waiting man with half a gallon of
beer." He refused to go, and the prisoner then hit him on
the breast. He took no notice of this, and recommended
the prisoner to go home. The prisoner followed him, made
use of abusive languge and struck him again. It was not
until the third blow was given that he took the prisoner
into custody.
John Chadwick, 350 K, confirmed the evidence of Now-
lan.

The prisoner, in an excited manner, said he had been
badly treated by the police. He kept one house near St.
Bartholomew's Hospital many years, another in the Isle of
Dogs for thirteen years, and his present house for some
time, and he had never been proceeded against until last
week. The policeman reported his house because he gave
half a gallon of beer to his waiter on Saturday week.
He went to the same policeman on Saturday night.
and asked him to come to his house and be a witness to
serving his own waiter with refreshments. The policeman
refused ; he raised his hands, and, in the excitement of the
moment, did touch him, and that was all, upon which he
was dragged to the station-house and used with great vio-
lence. His watch was broken, his waistcoat torn, and in
the struggle which took place his money fell out of his
pocket. The charge was as false as it was foul, and the
policeman had told the most deliberate falsehood.
Two witnesses were called, who fully confirmed the
defence.

Mr. Woolrych said he had no reason to discredit the
policeman, and, believing the prisoner to have committed
an assault, fined him 205., which he paid.

STEAMSHIP-BUILDING ON THE CLYDE. The
launch of the Scotia is expected to take place on the 25th
inst. The Scotia, which will be a splendid addition to the
Cunard line, is 366 feet long, 47} feet broad, and 33i feet
deep ; her engines will be of 883 horse-power, and her bur-
den is 4,000 tons. Messrs. Napier and Sons have shipped
on board H.M.S. Rhadamanthus a quantity of machinery,
which they have constructed for one of the iron-cased fri-
gates. The engines are of 500 horse-power, with boilers,
&c. Messrs. Tod and Isl‘Gregor have launched a screw of
200 tons intended to carry materials required in tho con-
struction of the lighthouse commenced at the Monarch
Isles, near St. Kilda. Messrs. J. Reid and Co. have turned
out a screw of 300 tons, named the Mahal j,
built for
company in Bombay, and intended for the Indian coasting
trade; she is Bitted with =gips of 40 horse-power.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—CharIes Harris, a respectable-
looking man, was charged with being on certain premises
for the purpose of committing a felony.
Madame Gold, of 26, Queen-street, Golden-square, said—
I keep a lodging-house, and about two on Sunday morning
I went down stairs to see that the gas was extinguished,
when, hearing a noise, I opened the cellar door, and there,
lying on a heap of coals, I found the prisoner. I asked
what ho did there, when ho replied, " That's not your
business ; and as there had been an attempt to get into her
house a short time back, she gave him into custody.
Prisoner—l went to see my wife, she lives there as ser-
vant.

Mr. Mansfield—You could not expect to see your wife in
.he coal cellar.

Prisoner—She put me there because the missus was
coming. _ _

A female here stepped forward, and said she was the
prisoner's wife.

Prosecutrix—You told me you was a widow, and that
your name was Clark, and that you were going to be

married.

The female said she had done so, but she had been mar-
ried eight months, and had her certificate and her husband's
discharge from the army.

Mr. Mansfield discharged the prisonor.

establishments under the kindly, but vigorous di-
rection of one who combines in himself the triple
character of a distinguished soldier, a skilled
administrator, and a practical philanthropist.

America has furnished an addition to the recent
obituary of distinguished public men: CAVOUR, in
Italy, followed TELEKY in Hungary, and now
Judge DOUGLAS, the leader of the Northern Demo-
cratic party, is no more. Party ambition ruined
his reputation. He was the author of the Bill
which allowed slavery north of the Missouri com-
promise line, and thus the author of
the Kansas atrocities of PIERCE and Bu-
CHANAN, which, it is only just to say, he
opposed. He aimed to reach the highest post by the
aid of the democratic party, and hence endeavoured
to win the Slave States. Their mad extravagance
compelled a division of the party, and he lost the
object of his life's ambition. He was, like LINCOLN,
a self-trained man ; obviously a man of great
ability, and had he but unflinchingly adopted the
cause of Liberty, he would not have left the world
with the reputation of having, virtually aided both
Slavery and Secession, opposed as he was to the
latter.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The first of the second series of six Italian con-
certs was given on Friday in the cheerful and
pleasant summer concert-room of the Crystal
Palace. The attendance was fashionable, the re-
served seats being well filled. The artists were
Madame Grisi, Mdlle. Tietjens, Madame Lemaire,
Signor Giuglini, and Mr. Lewis Thomas.
Pursuant to notification, M. Blondin gave his
fourth variety of performance in an extraordinary ex-
hibition which he entitled " The Barrow Feat." After
the ordinary gymnastics he propelled a vehicle, some-
what of a hybrid between an ordinary wheelbar-
row and a child's perambulator, with a grooved
wheel, along the main-rope under the great tran-
sept. Arrived at the opposite end of the trajectory,
he placed therein his child, Adele Blondin, who
seemed a little girl of eight or nine years of age, in
the so called wheelbarrow, and returned along the
rope; the little girl scattering with liberal hand
rosettes and bunches of artificial flowers, as she
passed over, at a dizzy height, the congregation of
upturned faces of the gazers below. The child was
as cool, and apparently far less concerned and
anxious, than hundreds of the spectators of the
perilous passage.

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of the budget;
for the abolition of the income tag; for the opening of the
National Gallery and other public institutions on Sun-
days ; from tradesmen in the metropolis and Ireland, com-
plaining of the income tax, and praying for relief from the
same ; from licensed victuallers against permission to wine
vendors to sell cplart bottles of wine, as proposed by the
budget; against the Poor Law Removal Scotland Bill, tc.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille
and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
the same pride in London as in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 107 to 1071 per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England, But, after making allowance
for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present
rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States.

A COMPLETE DISGUISE.—An Englishman and
Roman were walking through the galleries of the Vatican
where certain statues andpictures have been slightly clothed
so as not to shock the minds of purists as fastidious as the
late King of Naples, when the Englishman made some
allusion in the course of conversation, to the naked
Truth." " Excuse me, sir," replied the Roman, half
plaintively, " the Truth is no longer allowed to go naked
in Rome—good care is taken that it shall be draped by a
Cardinal."—runch.
SELF-SWINDLERS.—AII other swindlers upon
earth are nothing to the self-swindlers, and with such pre-
tutees did I cheat myself. Surely a curious thing. That
I should innocently take a bad half-crown of somebody
else's manufacture is reasonable enough, but that I should
knowingly reckon the spurious coin of my own make as
good money I An obliging stranger, under pretence of
compactly folding up my bank-notes, for security's sake,

sleight of hand to mine, when I fold up my own nutshells
and pass them on myself as:notesl—Dickens's " Great Ex-
pectations," in "AU the Year Round."
The operations for erecting three lighthouses in
the Red Sea are temporarily suspended, partly on account
of the approach of the hot season, Some difficulty has been
$ found in erecting one of the lighthouses which was intended
to be placed on a dangerous shoal in the Red Sea, on account
of the foundation being found to be of sand. The Penin-
sular and Oriental Company contribute a very handsome
sum towards the undertakings.
• APPRENTICED MARTNERS.—A return has been
prepared, on the motion of Mr. Henley, showing the num-
ber of apprentices bound and registered as mariners in the
merchant service. For some years before 1849 there was a
law obliging shipowners to maintain apprentices in propor-
tion to the tonnage of their ships, and the number then rose
at one time to 11,000 a year. Since the repeal of that law
it has ranged between 6,000 and 8,000 a year, and in the
last time years it hoe (imaged 5,655,

CUBE FOR SERPENTS' BITES.

Last week Dr. Cloquet communicated to the
Academy of Sciences the following interesting letter
from Dr. de la Gironniere, a physician of
" In our virgin forests of Calanang," says M. de la
Gironniere, " a vast variety of serpents are found,
some of which are extremely venomous. A short
time ago one of my labourers had his finger bitten
by one which is considered by the Indians to be of
the most dangerous kind. It is a small snake about
30 centimetres in length, of a yellow colour, with a
flat triangular head. Its fangs are 11 centimetres
(half an inch) in length. The man was brought to
me a few minutes after the accident. I had no
volatile alkali at hand, so I cauterized the wound
with burning coals; but this did not stop the alarm-
ing symptoms which appeared with great rapidity.
The tumefaction had already extended from the
hand to the elbow. The patient uttered piercing
cries in consequence of the pain he felt under the
pectoral muscles ; I was at a loss what to do. At
length I was struck with the idea of making him
drink a bottle of coco wine (alcohol of 16 degrees
strength). The intoxicating effects were instan-
taneous ; the patient began to rave, but without
seeming to feel any pain, and the swelling of the
arm made no progress. Half an hour after he had
returned to his senses, the pectoral pains recom-
menced ; I administered a second bottle, and then
a third, which completed the cure ; the arm returned
to its natural state, and the hand bore no traces of
the injury but those of the cauterization. I had
often heard it said that alcohol, taken in a sufficient
quantity to cause excessive intoxication, was a
specific against the sting of serpents; I now have a
proof of it, but I do not know whether it would do
in other cases, such as the following one :—An
Indian was bit by a very venomous serpent, of a
grey colour, with a round head, and sometimes six
feet in length. It is the enemy of all other ser-
pents, which it hunts down whether they be veno-
mous or not ; it has happened to me four times to
kill one while swallowing another serpent. This
Indian returned home, cauterized the wound him-
self, and a few minutes later fell dead without
complaining or evincing any suffering. His rela-
tions, who could not believe in so sudden a death,
brought him to me ; his limbs were still supple, but
cold ; the wound bore traces of the cauterization,
but no sign of tumefaction."

PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

£B,OOO a year, would be the charge on the Metro-
politan Company, out of which was to be deducted
the charge of £6,000 a year for station land sold to
the Great Northern, thus adding but £2,000 a year
to their former liabilities, for which they would ob-
tain the use of a superior station at Finsbury-
pavement.

- On a show of hands, 38 appeared in favour of the
bill and 9 against it. A poll was then taken, and
the result was that more than the required propor-
tion of capital required to carry the motion was
recorded in its favour.
A resolution was passed, leaving to the directors
to decide as to whether rents or tolls should be paid
by the four companies for the use of the Finsbury
extension line and station.
The solicitor then read the heads of a bill for
making a railway from the Great Western Rail-
way to Hammersmith, to be called "the Hammer-
smith and City Railway." It would bring traffic
on their line, and it was proposed that the Metro-
politan Company should work the traffic, on terms
to be hereafter decided at special meetings of the
respective companies.
A formal resolution approving the bill was car-
ried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated.

LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX
JUNCTION.
Yesterday a Wharncliffe meeting of this com-
pany was held at Bradford for the purpose of con-
sidering a bill to authorise the company to construct
a branch railway to the Birstal line at Batley. Mr.
E. Ackroyd presided.
Mr. NELSON, the company's solicitor, stated that
the bill would authorise the company to raise
£60,000 on shares and £15,000 on debentures. The
time for the compulsory purchase of land was
limited to two years, and for the completion of the
works to three years.
The CHAIRMAN said the bill was in reference, to
the company's Batley and Adwalton scheme, and
the arguments he advanced in favour of it at their
last meeting had been materially strengthened by
the evidence adduced in the House of Commons.
Independent of any passenger traffic, the scheme
might be justified by the large coal traffic which it
opened up in the district of which Bradford was
the entire centre, He concluded by moving a for-
mal resolution approving the bill.
Mr. WATERHOUSE seconded the motion, and it
was unanimously agreed to.
The proceedings then terminated with a vote of
thanks to the Chairman.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.
At a Wharncliffe meeting of this company, held
at Manchester yesterday, there was a motion that
the bills for the construction of the Settle and
Shawforth lines be rejected. The motion, on a poll
being taken, was carried.
London, England, 1861-04-25

LICENSE OF SPEECH AT THE BAR.

Mr. T. DUNCOM BE presented a petition of Mr. Thos.
Clutterbuck, attorney-at• law, complaining that at the
Worcester Assizes, under the license of speech claimed by
the bar, false and injurious reflections were cast upon his
character, for which he could obtain no redress, and pray-
ing for a revision of the law. The hon. gentleman read th•
petition, which stated that Mr. Huddlestone was the learned
gentleman alluded to, and he (Mr. Duncombe) said that
the petitioner did not attribute any malice to Mr. Huddle-
ston e.

The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
YEOMANRY.

Mr. GRIFFITH moved an address for a detailed state-
ment of the expenditure per regiment, and the items of
which such expenditure is composed in each case, of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, for the year 1860 ; and a detailed state-
ment, in the same manner, of the items of which the esti-
mate for 1861 on the same subject is composed.—Ordered.
London, England, 1861-04-25

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
175. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
the same prioa in London as in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 107 to 107/ per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England, But, after making allowance
for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present
rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States.
