House of Commons, - to say nothing of the Lords.
Why then delay that which sooner or later must
be attempted, for a vacillating course, that cab
only weaken the position, and render the proceed-
ing more amenable to adverse criticism ? The
question has not been ventilated during the pre-
sent Parliament, and the sooner that objection be
removed the better for all pArties concerned.

HANOVER-WARE Rooxs. Last evening, Signor
Guiseppe Operti gave his annual vocal and instrumental
concert in the above-named rooms. The attendance was
better than could.be expected at this time of the year,
and was all that cool' be desired, both in numbers and
respectability. The fair sex mustered in the greater
proportion, showing, thereby, a total disregard for the
warmth and inconvenience of a hewed assembly, at the
hottest part of the season, and a desire to enjoy tee

of taste. Among the vocalists were—Madame Sanville,
Madame Desprey, Miss Clarissa (a pupil of Signor G.
Operti, and a very promising young artiste), Madame
Newton Frodsham, Madame Russell', Madame Bellosio,
Maine. Martinetti, Signor Grossi, Signor Sebastien
Creckaert, Signor Annoni, and Signor Mazzioritti. The
orchestra and cnoruses were complete and satisfactory in
their effect. A terzstto in Verdi's opera of " I Lem-
bardi," was well sang by Signor Enrico Grossi, Signor
Sebastien Crockaert, and Madame Sanville, and was
loudly applauded. An aria in the opera of " Traviata,"
by Signor Monari, was deserving of notice ; but the
piece that seemed to have delighted most was a duetto
Elisir ?!'Amore,' by Donizetti, and beautifully
sung by Madame Sanville and Signor Grossi. Madame
Sanville displayed a great compass and flexibili•y of
voice in the executien of her pert of the duetto, but
Signor Grossi gave greater tokens of strength and vigour
than of taste and refinement, The whole concert passed
off satisfactorily.
HERR REICHARDT.—One of the most rech,erch6 con.
carts of the season was given yesterday by Herr
Reichardt at the Dudley Gallery, by permission of Lord
War t. This celebrated tenor was assisted by several of
the most distinguished artistes, including Mesdames
Ugalde, Mareshner, Mdlle. Westerstrand, Melique,
Piatti, Benedict, Osborne, Tedesco, Belletti, Jules
Lefort, &e. Several beautiful compositions of Dr. H,
Mareshner were performed, both vocal and instrumental.
the gem of the concert being a charming song, " Der
Kusre" which was given by Herr Reichardt with such
exquisite taste and expression, that it was encored una-
nimously. Dr. H. Marcehner's performance on the
piano was remarkable for genuine artistic feeling and
classical reading.
In ordinary course the next telegraphic in'eslligence
from India Would not be expected before Monday, the
20th inst., but as every effort will be made for speed is
will doubtless be hoped for next week. In official
quarters an impression seems to be entertained that in
case of the taking of Delhi a special steamer will
probably have been despatched, and therefore it is
possible that further accoun'a may be received at any
hour. It is also to be remarked that if the Governor of
Malta should adopt the same plan as on the last occasion,
and transmit the advices to Cagliari, to be forwarded by
the Sardinian line of telegraph, the Government may
obtain them considerably in anticipation of the general
public. In such case it is much to be desired that they
should be made known as soon as possible in some
regular and auttiorized manner. A strong suspicion is
entertained that the main points of these last received
wore in the hands of speculators for an entire day before
they were properly published. It may be assumed that
the heads of the Government act with discretion on such
occasions, but when striking political news has become
known to any three or four persons and their immediate
attendants absolute secrecy is out of the question. More-
over, in the present instance it is difficult to understand
what object can be served by concealing facts which in
the course of 43 hours will becorne known to all the
world through other channels.—Times' City Article.
