ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

Handel's music to Dryden's "Alexander's Feast,"
and Sterndale Bennett's " May Queen" were per-
formed at this Hall last night, and inaugurated the
winter season. Mr. Hullah, as usual, was the effi-
cient director, and the chorus consisted of his
Upper Singing School, who acquitted themselves
on the whole, with credit, and in some of the
choruses were loudly applauded. The music of
" Alexander's Feast " is well-known. It is varied
in its character, and is in the severer classical style
of the composer. Miss Martin and Miss Rowland
were the chief soprano and contralto. Miss Martin
is a young singer of promise, who requires care and
practice to improve and soften her style. She has
a fine clear voice, but the vehemence with which
she sung some passages made it harsh and strained,
while it greatly diminished the effect she produced.
She must be more subdued in her style, and aim at
something more than singing loudly if she wishes
to make the most of her abilities. and become a suc-
cessful vocalist of classical music. Miss Rowland
sung with care and credit. She distinguished her
self in the air, " He sung Darius, great and good,'"
which demands pathetic expression as well as cor-
rect sinning. Mr. Wilbye Cooper and Mr. Weiss
displayed their usual ability as tenor and bass.
The chorus performed their part with spirit. In
the chorus, " Behold Darius," and in the last, "Let
old Timotheus," they were more especially success-
ful. Bennett's graceful cantata was well performed.
M iss Banks sings the chief part with great ability
and care. The gem of the piece, the chorus and
solo, " With the Carol in the Tree," was unani-
mously encored, and a similar compliment was raid
to Mr. Wass's spirited rendering of the fine bass
song, "'Tis jolly to hunt in the bright moonlight."
Miss Bradshaw was an excellent " Queen," and
Mr. Wilbje Cooper was a correct and careful tenor.
The hall was well filled, and the whole performance
well received •by the audience.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford arrived
at the Pavilion Hotel., Folkestone, on Monday, on their re-
turn from visiting the Emperor and Empress of the French
at Cvnivicatia,

THE PRACTICAL AND DEVOTIONAL FAMILY BIBLE ASSO-
CIATION. -.A RELIGIOUS TALLY SHOP.- PARRY V.

YOUNG.
Plaintiff is conductor of the above association, and defen-
dant is a journeyman scale maker. The action was brought
to recover 425., balance of an account of £2 125., the price
of a family bible, defendant having paid 10$.
Plaintiff stated that it was the custom to supply the bibles
upon receiving weekly payments of 2s. 6d.
His Honour—Do you mean to say you apply the tally
system to the bible trade?

Plaintiff—We take weekly payments.
His Honour thought plaintiff must make a good profit by
charging £2 12s. Mr. 11'1'hun, of Glasgow, used to sell a
splendid bible for 20s.
Plaintiff—AM but this is illustrated; besides, it has
Henry's and Scott's Commentaries.
His Honour—Well, I think the association makes a good
profit out of its devotion. In my opinion no profit should
be made out of the Holy Bible. I suppose you are the as-
sociation, Mr. Parry.

Plaintiff—No ; two or three gentlemen belong to it.

Defendant said he should pay two shillings a-week. The
plaintiff had guaranteed that the bible should be bound in
" real morocco," and it was a sham. It was not bound in
morocco, and defendant refused to pay morn than 275. in
addition to the sum already received by plaintiff. _ .

The bible was produced, and upon being handed up his
Honour at once said it was not morocco.

Plaintiff—lndeed it is. It is goat skin.

His Honour—Well, I won't decide upon my opinion. Is
there any one in court who knows anything about morocco?
Mr. Williams, bootmaker, East-road, said ho had bought
morocco for 40 years. The book produced was not bound
in morocco.

Mr. Cockles, of Leadenhall-street, a bookbinder, said the
binding was imitation morocco. The book was worth from
30s. to 40s. Witness had travelled with bibles and prayer-
books for six years.
His Honour—So the association makes about 12s. in
every £2 by their devotion. It is very extraordinary that
the " Tally" system should be applied to the bible trade ;
but as it is so I can have nothing to say against it. Upon
the evidence plaintiff will be non-suited with costs. The
first principle of religion is truth, and you should not sell
imitation for real morocco. If defendant likes to sue you
he can recover the 10s. ho has already paid.
Plaintiff then retired, saying it was real morocco.
SINGULAR SCENE IN COURT.
This morning a case was heard by his Honour, in which
the plaintiff and defendant spoke, and his Honour delivered
his judgment, in the French language. It was suggested
that if the French Government wished to institute a Small
Debts' Court, upon the principle of tho English law, his
Honour would be qualified at once to sit.

" for orders ;" the quantity actually sent to Great
Britain was only 36,788 bags—a very low figuro
indeed. These exports of coffee, however, refer to
Rio de Janeiro only. 7,452,520/ worth of gold
pieces were coined at the Mint of Brazil in 1856,
and 1,017,2081 worth of silver. At the end of 1858
the extreme market prices at Pernambuco were—
Indian corn, 5.1 s to 58s 6d per quarter ; .cotton, 7id

BROADSTAIRS.—During Thursday night and Fr'-
day morning three bodies were washed ashore between
Kingsgate and Broadstairs, supposed to be from ono of the
vessels which was wrecked at Kingsgate a short time back .
One of the bodies was found by some lads, under the cliff
near Stone; on the body of a gold watch and some silver
was found. Another was picked up by two men of the
Broadstairs coastguard service, and the third was found
near Kingsgate. " T Ski" is marked on the shirt of OTlet
and on a paper in his pocket the following address :—" W.
Smith and Co., grocers, bakers, and confectioners, New-
street, Poole." The bodies were much mutilated.

of cost there is a greater advantage in the adoption
of the steam plough, since it ploughs much
deeper, turning up fresh ground, and re-
newing the surface of the earth, thus in-
creasing its fertility, and greatly benefiting the
soil. We are glad to see this striking improve-
ment thus publicly dwelt upon, as we hope that
the force and simplicity of the arguments adduced
may carry conviction to many. It must be a
source of gratification to all who are interested in
the national welfare to see the energies of science
turned to assist and develope the prosperity of those
agricultural districts whose inhabitants were
once supposed to be inimical to all
improvements. Their gloomy anticipations as to
the results of Free Trade have proved groundless,
and, we trust, that in future they will be
less ready to prophesy evil. Whatever
perplexitios or dangers may await us
in the future, threaten us from without and not
from within. Foreign despots and military rulers
might learn a lesson if they would from the na-
tional content and publie spirit of a people, whose
liberty of faith and freedom of speech are the se-
crets of its being a nation at unity with itself.

EARLIEST SPECIMEN OF THE ELONGATED
EXPANDING SHOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Having good reasons to believe that the authorities
are now willing to know who was the first to suggest, and
practically to demonstrate the superior advantages of an
elongated expanding shot, I beg to submit, for your inspec-
tion, a specimen of the expanding shot, derived immediately
from the expanding lotus pith base of the Malay tube-arrow
or bolt, whieh I submitted and fully explained to the select
committee of Artillery officers, at Woolwich, as far back
as the summer of 1823. The officers now living that can
bear testimony to the fact, are General Sir Robert
Gardiner, R.A. ; General Sir Richard Airey, now
Quartermaster-General. Colonel Barlow, chairman of the
Southampton Docks Company; Major Hector Straith,
Captains Thomson and Hadwen ; the last five of whom
were present with my late regiment, the 34th, at the time.
Colonel Beamish, in his memorable letter of August, 1&52,
to the Editor of the United Service Journal, at page 3,
gives a full and clear narration of the facts. I have left a
specimen of this shot at the United Service Institution,
Whitehall. Colonel Wilford, in his recent lecture at the
United Service Institution, has truly stated that the great
improvement in rifle efficiency is to be traced to the elon-
gated form or the shot.—l am, yours, &c.

TO THE EDITOR or THS SUN.

SIR,—My attention has this day been drawn to a portion
of the case of Mr. Stocqueler's insolvency (headed as above),
reported in The Sun of yesterday, by which it is insinuated
that my son, Capt. Cook, late of the 32d Regiment, obtained
his promotion through undue influence and the paid agency
of Mr. Stocqueler. Now I beg to say that my son's pro-
motion was for distinguished service at Lucknow, during
the recent memorable siege of that city, his name having
been mentioned in the despatches of Gen. Inglis, the officer
then in command of the garrison, and on that ground alone
was he promoted ; and I trust that merit and the due regu-
lations of the service only will ever bo the cause and means
of his promotion. lam sure you would not suffer the influ-
ence of your widely-circulated paper to be the medium of
tarnishing unfairly the reputation of a gallant young officer
who has served his country. I therefore request you will do
Capt. Cook the justice of inserting this letter in one of the
columns of your paper.—l am, air, your obedient servant,

ROBERT COOK.

Elwyn, KA., members of the Council of Military

the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. There were upwards
of 130 candidates on the occasion.

A court-martial has been held at Chatham garri-
son for the trial of a non-commissioned officer of the
Royal Engineers, named Donning, on the charge of
having been intoxicated while on duty at Bromp-
ton Barracks ai orderly Corporal. In support of
the charge against the accused four witnesses were
examined before the Court, two of whom, includ-
ing Captain.Durnford, Royal Engineers, swore to
the prisoner being intoxicated. For the defence,
the surgeon who examined the prisoner imme-
diately after he was placed in confinement was
called, and his evidence was to the effect that the
accused was not intoxicated when he examined
him, and this evidence was confirmed by other
witnesses The Court remained in deliberation a
considerable time, and ultimately acquitted the pri-
soner, who has a very good character.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON
CONVICTION.

The fearful danfers to invalids from snurious imitations of
DU BAIZRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA-
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper
Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £.5,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will he paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who
may attempt impositions. London :IJBARRY 1)U BARRY

THAMES.

STABBING.—John Cokeby, a young Irishman, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with feloniously stabbing
his brother-in-law, Bartholomew Collins, with a knife, and
also cutting and wounding his sister, Bridget Collins, with
intent to do them some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Collins, a decent
young woman, that her brother was living in the same
house with her and her husband, at 16, Providence-court,
Glasshouse-street, Whitechapel. On Saturday night her
brother was intoxicated and making a great disturbance,
and her husband endeavoured in vain to quiet him. The
prisoner became very abusive indeed, and her husband
struck him. The prisoner took a knife from his pocket and
plunged it three times into her husband's body. Her husband
fell, and the blood gushed from his wounds. He was laid
on his bed dead, and then sent to the hospital.

Mr. Selfe—No, he is not dead, my good woman ; he is
in the hospital, but very badly wounded, indeed. What
did he do to you ?

The poor woman held up her right arm, which was ban-
daged, and said her brother cut her arm twice, and he was
about to do further mischief when a man seized him by the
neck and took the knife from him.

Folice•sergeant Egerton, No. 11 IT, produced a knife
stained with blood, with which the wounds had been in-
flicted ; and Robbins, 157 H, said the wounded man was in
a dangerous condition, and put in a certificate to that effect.
Mr, Selfc remanded the prisoner till Tuesday, Dec. 6.
