ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

The great success which attended the first per-
formance of Professor Bennett's "May Queen,"
under Mr. Hullah's direction, fully warranted its
repetition last night. This time, however, instead
of being associated with Mendelssohn's " Lauda
Sion" and the symphony in D, its sole companion
was the Choral Symphony (No. 9), the last and
grandest of Beethoven's orchestral masterpieces.
Such a programme could scarcely fail to attract
the lovers of music ; and no one was surprised to
see St. Martin's Hall crammed in every part, or
to hear that money had been declined at the doors.
The solo singers were Misses Banks and Palmer,
Messrs. Wilbye Cooper and Santley. To listen
to the applause last night it might have been
thought that this was the first instead of the third
appearance of " The May Queen" before a metro-
politan audience. It is long, indeed, sinc3 any new
musical composition has achieved so genuine a
vogue.

Mr. Hullah and his " First Upper Singing
School" had already twice last season elicited flat-
tering encomiums for their execution of Beethoven's
"No. 9"—the Colossus among symphonies. Nor
was last night's essay, on the whole, less trium-
phant than its predecessors. The attention paid to
the symphony from one end to the other was as in-
teresting to witness as the applause that followed
movemement after movement (especially from the
galleries and " shilling area") was encouraging.
Perhaps in no other city than London could such
an audience be found for such a work.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

OPERA COMIQUE.
last evening there was no performance at this
theatre in consequence of the preparations necessary
for the representation of two new operas, which are
to be performed to-morrow evening for the benefit of
M. Remusat, the spirited entrepeneur, who cer-
tainly deserves every support and encouragement
for his extraordinary and indefatigable exertions in
catering for the amusement of the aristocratic visi-
tors to this very fashionable place of amusement.
Although it may perhaps be admitted that the
company West pas de la premiere force, it must
be acknowledged it works exceedingly well toge-
ther, and is highly effective. It possesses in Madame
Faure, an artiste of distinguished merit, both as
a vocalist and as an actress, indeed a host
in herself. This accomplished lady is well sup-
ported by Mdlle. Celiue Mathieu, M. Berger, M.
d'Orgeval, &c. As we have already observed, the
greatest 'praise is due to M. Remusat for the very
high state of excellence, amounting as nearly as
may be to perfection, to which, by his perseverance,
he has su3ceeded in bringing his orchestra.

DR. JOHNSON'S EVERYDAY BENEVOLENCE.

" He frequently bestowed all the silver in his pocket
upon the miserable beings who waylaid him on his passage
from his house to the tavern where he dined. Even in his
early London days he would go up at night to the destitute
children who were sleeping upon the, projecting stalls of
shops or on the sills of doors, and slip a penny into their
hands to buy them a breakfast, and this,' adds Mr.Croker,
when he himself was living on pennies.' Sixpence, he
once remarked, was then a great sum to him. When it
was objected that it was useless to bestow halfpence upon
beggars, because they only laid it out upon gin or tobacco,
he energetically exclaimed, ' And why should they be
denied such sweeteners of existence ? Life is a pill wilier'
none of us can bear to swallow without gilding. Yet for
the poor we delight in stripping it still barer, are not
ashamed to show even visible displeasure if ever the bitter
taste is taken from their mouths. He one night found a
woman of abandoned character lying exhausted in the
street, and lifting her up, he conveyed her on his back to
his own house, had her nursed till she recovered her
health, and then obtained her a situation. A heartless man
would have passed her by, a humane man might have given
her money ; but was there any second person in the whole
of the vast population of London that would have taken up
the forlorn, diseased, and dirty sufferer in his arms and car-
ried her to his home ? There are charities which from their
very lowliness become sublime."

Don't we all of us remember—we who know Bos-
well (as he deserves to be known) by heart—how
the Doctor would go out himself to buy oysters for
his cat Hodge, " lest, if he put his servants to the
trouble, they might take a dislike to the animal
and use it ill ?" Here follows this impressive tes-
timony of

ST. HAMM'S HALL.

The great success which attended the first per-
formance of Professor Bennett's " May Queen,"
under Mr. Hullah's direction, fully warranted its
repetition last night. This time, however, instead
of being associated with Mendelssohn's " Lauda
Sion !' and the symphony in 1), its sole companion
was the Choral Symphony (No. 9), the last and
grandegt of Beethoven's orchestral masterpieces.
Such a programme could scarcely fail to attract
the lovers of music ; and no one was surprised to
see St. Martin's Hall crammed in every part, or
to hear that money had been declined at the doors.
The solo singers were Misses Banks and Palmer,
Messrs. Wilbye Cooper and Santley. To listen
to the applause last night it might have been
thought that this was the first instead of the third

Mr. Hullah and his " First Upper Singing

Perhaps in no other city than London could such
an audience be found for such a work.

room of Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN. Hythe has been
deserted in like manner by Sir JOHN RAMSDEN,
who is allowed to win without an effort that
Derby among the constituencies, the representation
of the West Riding of Yorkshire, by walking over
the course without the show of a cempetitor.
Hythe, vacated by Sir JOHN RAMSDEN, selects a
Jew for its representative Baron MEYER DE
ROTHSCHILD, who is returned not only nem. con.,
but with acclamations with such enthusiasm,
indeed, that Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE is moved to
the utterance of these patriarchal words to the
mob—words of gratitude and benediction :—" I
thank GOD, old as I am, that I have lived to see
this day, and to witness your choice. I sincerely
thank you all. May GOD bless you." Another
Jew is chosen for another and more important con-
stituency triumphantly, but not unanimously.
Mr. Alderman SALOMONS' long-suffering and per-
severance at length obtain their reward down at
Greenwich—the Liberal electors of which borough
return him as M.P. for their constituency by
a majority of nearly a thousand over his some-
what formidable opponent, Mr. ANGERSTEIN. The
latter gentleman, however, not the least bit in the
world discouraged by his defeat, announces his
determination again to appeal to the electors of
Greenwich immediately upon the next vacancy,
the vacancy inevitable upon the speedy and
promised, and indeed inevitable resignation by the
newly-appointed Governor of Gibraltar, General
Sir WM. CODRINGTON. Poor Lord EBRINGTON,
again stricken down by severe indisposition
directly after we had all been congratu-
lating ourselves upon his happy recovery, writes
from that beautiful but melancholy haunt of
invalids, Funchal, in the isle of Madeira—tendering
his resignation of his seat to his faithful constituents,
the liberal electors of Marylebone. Mr. ANTHONY
O'FLAHERTY'S election by the town of Galway
having been declared void, Mr. I. 0. LEVER is in-
vested by that borough with the glory of a seat in
Parliament. Meanwhile the Right Honourable
W. E. GLADSTONE, having accepted the
office of Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands—his constituents at the Univer-
sity of Oxford deem it prudent to return him again
pro forma as M.P. for the University, though some
conceive the parliamentary seat of the right hon.
gentleman has never for a moment been vacated by
his transformation to an ordinary from an Extra-
ordinary Lord High Commissioner. Change after
change thus taking place in the popular representa-
tion, it is probable that before the present session
has advanced much further a clear sweep of al]
will be made by the dissolution of Parliament tha
may follow from the Ministerial effort at its re.
organisation.

THE IRISH CONSTABUIARY FORCE.

It is generally believed that by a new arrange-
ment, no officer who has servd in the Irish Con-
stabulary will' henceforth be lualified to fill the
uppermost ranks in the force. Sr Henry Brownrigg,
who gained his present positicn by long and meri-
torious service, and who obtaiaed the appointment
after the resignation of Colonel Wood, is to be the
last inspector-general chosen from the force itself.
The same rule is to apply to deputy-inspectors, and
in future a county inspectorship, value about £4OO
a year, is to be the highest prizz that can be gained
by the constabulary officer. Military men only will
be entrusted with the more important commands.
A step in this direction has been already taken by
the selection of the gallant Colonel Maude, of the
Royal Horse Artillery, as the successor of Sir Henry
Brownrigg in the deputy inspector-generalship. A
better appointment, however, could not have been
made.

amount to 2,3211. making a total expenditure of
596,2621., leaving a balance of 7,3881. The directors

half of 1857 to 4,5271., showing an increase of

the rate of 8 per cent. perannum for the half-year,
leaving a balance of 1,739/. towards increasing the

ARTFUL WATCH ROBBERY.—George Foster, a tailor,
was charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of
Mr. Henry Moore, pawnbrokerfof 9, John's-terrace, Hack-
ney-road, as follows :

Dancey, 116 C, said that at ten, last night, he was assist-
ing the complainant, who was intoxicated, out of a cart,
a large crowd of persons being assembled at the time at the
top of St. Martin's-lane, when the prisoner came up and
said, " All right, constable; he is a friend of mine." He
then saw a watch in the prisoner's hand, and asked
him what he was about. He replied that it was "all
right," but thinking that it was not so, he took him into
custody.

Henry Moore, the prosecutor, said that the watch was
his property, and of the value of £5. He was not aware
that he had lost it at the time, not being sober.

The prisoner said it was a mistake, when a witness was
called who said he saw the watch in the prisoner's hand,
and the constable take it from him.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner still asserted it
was a mistake, and that he never had the watch in his hand.
Mr. Bingham said he believed the witnesses had told the
truth, and should remand him for a week.

MONKLAND.

It appears that the gross receipts of this com-
pany's railways for the half-year ending the 31st
of December last exceed,those of the corresponding
half of 1857 by 291/., and the net revenue exceeds
that of the corresponding half of 1857 by
2,705/. The directors recommend a dividend at
the rate of 8 per cent. perannum for the half:year,
leaving a balance of 1,7391. towards increasing the
reserve fund, which amounts to 11,8861.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held in Dublin on Saturday. Sir E. M'Donnel,
the chairman, presided.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report,
declaring a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per
annum on the ordinary stock, and re-electing the
retiring auditor.

16,5311., against 13,2081. at the corresponding
period 3 of 1857,
showing an increase of 3,322/. The

sum of 8,4871. applicable to payment of interest on

SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise
on NERVOUS DEBILITY and FUNCTIONAL
WEAKNESS, more particularly in reference to the INFIR-
MITIES and DISORDERS of the GENERATIVE SYSTEM;
tracing the Origin of these distressing afflictions to causes
which vitiate the very fountains of Life and prematurely de-
stroy the vigour of Manhood. With Practical Observations
on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re-
storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrhcea,
Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without
pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid
of medicine.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that aro
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofgreat
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which maneforfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
nf nate excesses, improper diet, :hardship, or by iniudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced ircipiissibkil

THE IRISH CONSTABULARY FORCE.

It is generally believed that, by a new arrange-
ment, no officer who has served in the Irish Con-
stabulary will henceforth be qualified to fill the
uppermost ranks in the force. Sir Henry Brownrigg,
who gained his present position by long and meri-
torious service, and who obtained the appointmont
after the resignation of Colonel Wood, is to be the
last inspector-general chosen from the force itself.
The same rule is to apply to deputy-inspectors, and
in future a county inspectorship, value about £4OO
a year, is to be the highest prize that can be gained
by the constabulary officer. Military men only will
be entrusted with the more important commands.
A step in this direction has been already taken by
the selection of the gallant Colonel Maude, of the
Royal Horse Artillery, as the successor of Sir Henry
Brownrigg in the deputy inspector-generalship. A
better appointment, however, could not have been
made.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price Is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating* causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
• Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

k.l with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally fia7,rant evil which it
may be in his power to correct. London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
