PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

THE NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY_

This society, which was established in the autumn of last
year by Mr. G. W. Martin, and which numbers upwards of
700 members, had its first annual meeting on Wednesday
evening at the Floral Hall, Covent-Garden. It was a
general meeting of the members, partaking of the nature of
a rehearsal also. Having rehearsed some of the choruses
of the " Messiah," the conductor gave an outline of the
proceedings of the past year and the pecuniary and musical
results of the first season. Six concerts had been given in
Exeter Hall, one in St, James's, two at the Crystal Palace,
one in the open air at Camberwell, and four in rendering
assistance at Mr. Alfred Mellon's promenade concerts, two
of which were given at their inauguration. These per-
formances included oratorios, concerts of part music, and
miscellaneous concerts, and, in a musical point of view, had
been eminently successful, having been referred to in the
highest terms of commendation by many musical men
holding the highest position in the profession. In a pecu-
niary point of view the society had by no means been a
success. Mr. Martin said ho had made up his mind to lose a
considerable sum in the formation of the society and its first
year's operation, but had not contemplated so heavy a loss.
He did not:despair, however, of making the society ulti-
mately pay its expenses; but hoped by its instrumentality
to be able to carry out one of the objects of its formation,
that of contributing to the charitable funds of such institu-
tions as could be legitimately assisted by its operations.
The ensuing season already presented many features which
indicated that the loss would at the end of the next year
be considerably decreased. Mr. Martin complimented the
choir on the high state of efficiency to which it had at-
tained in the first season of its existence, and referred in
terms of eulogy to the support the conductor had expe-
rienced at the hands of the members, and to the hearty
co-operation of the superintendents in the various depart-
ments. The works proposed for study and rehearsal dur-
ing the coming season are " The Messiah," " The Crea-
tion," " Judas Maccabseus," " Israel in Egypt," and the
" Elijah," the last named being selected for the first meet-
ing of the season, Wednesday evening next. The number
of members present was upwards of 500, most of whom
renewed their membership for the next season.

The Malta Times of the 10th publishes the fol-
lowing :—" A very unusual scene occurred this morning in
Strada Tesoreria, of Valetta. An Italian gentleman
was reading a letter which ho had just received from Italy.
A Sicilian approached, and said to him in a very insulting
manner, ' Norte a Vittorio Emmanuele 1 ' (Death to Victor
Emmanuel !) The insulted gentleman replied that ho had
nothing to do with political affairs ; on which the Sicilian
observed that if he wero anything else, he (the Sicilian)
would tear his bowels out. A personal attack ensued, and
the Sicilian, addressing the Maltese around him, called them
' porci Maltese' (you pigs of Maltese). Sticks were used, and
seen to come down heavily on the heads of everybody pre-
sent. The doors of the Bible Society office close by suf-
fered much from the violence of the blows, and some person.
were severely hurt. The words ' Sorci Borbonici' (Bourbon
b
rats) ; and ' Abasso to spie di Francesco l' (Down with
the spies of Francis !) were heard, and if the police had not
interfered, blood would probably have been
givenshed.

(From the Money Markt Review.)
A very singular rumour has been in circulation
during the last few days—viz„ that France claims
for herself the free navigation of the Mississippi
under the original Treaty for the Sale of Louisiana
by France to the United States in 1803. In that
Treaty the only articles we find bearing on the
subject are the 7th and Bth, which we quote below :
" Article 7. As it is reciprocally advantageous to
the commerce of France and the United States to
encourage the communication of both nations in the
country ceded by the present treaty, until general
arrangements relative to the commerce of both na-
tion 3 may be agreed on, it has been agreed between
the contracting parties that the French ships com-
ing directly from France, or any of her colonies,
loaded only with the produce or manufactures of
France and her said colonies ; and the ships of Spain
coming from Spain or any of her colonies, loaded only
with the produce or manufactures of Spain or her
colonies, shall be admitted during the space of twelve
years in the port of New Orleans, and in all other
legal ports of entry within the ceded territory, in
the same manner as the ships of the United States
coming directly from France or Spain or any of
their colonies, without being subject to any other or
greater duty on merchandise, or any other greater
tonnage, than that paid by the citizens of the
United States. During the space of time above
mentioned no other nation shall have right to the
same privileges in the ports of the ceded territory.

" Article B.—ln future and for ever after the ex-
piration of the twelve years, the ships of France
shall be treated on the footing of the most favoured
nations in the port above mentioned.
"We know the question has been raised in France
as to whether that country has not acquired, under
the treaty above quoted, special privileges as re-
gards free access to the American ports, and it is
by no means impossible that a monarch of so strong
a will as Napoleon 111. may yet, in furtherance of
the objects which he is understood to cherish, have
something to say to the Northern States, even in
respect of so old a parchment as that above quoted.
His Majesty is a great stickler for the sanctity of
treaties when they suit him. _ _

Before quitting the subject, we may remark that
it is rot at all clear, according to the Law of
Nations, that the Northern States, seeing that they
do not treat the seceding States as belligerents but
as rebels, have a right to exclude foreign vessels
from any port of the United States, whether in the
North or in the South, so long as those vessels
abstain from carrying contraband of war.

TEE SALE OF GAS ACT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-It may not be generally known to the gas
consuming portion of your readers, that a most im-
portant and valuable Act of Parliament came into
force on Monday, the 14th inst., viz., the Sale of
Gas Act, 22d and 23d Vict., c. 66, as amended by
the 23d and 24th Vict., c. 146, and the Metropolis
Gas Amendment Act, 24th and 25th Vict., c. 79,
by which it is enacted that, in the metropolis, and
in all counties and boroughs which have ad,opted
the act, no meters shall be fixed unless first tested
and stamped as correct by an inspector appointed
under the act, and in a similar way as weights and
measures generally are authenticated.
Any person fixing, or using an unstamped meter
fixed after this date in such districts, will be liable

sale, made by such meter, shall be void, and every
such meter so used shall, on being discovered by an
inspector so appointed as aforesaid, be seized, and,
on conviction of the person knowingly using or
possessing the same, shall be forfeited and de-
stroyed."

Cas-fitters and gas consumers, therefore, should
take care that they do not fix, or authorise to be
fixed, meters which have not been stamped as
the
act requires. Consumers may now use any
meters
they think proper, provided they first:be duly tested
and stamped by Quell inspector, as above stated.
The necessity for such an act of Parliament has
long been felt, in consequence of such a large propor-
tion of the matters in use having been discovered to
be registering inaccurately to au enormous exten
—viz., in many cases as much as 25, 35, and even
in some cases more than 50 per cent. against the
consumers.—l am, 84c.)

Stock Market this morning greater buoyancy pre-
vailed, owing to the continued firmness of the

ted which led to a alight reaction, and Consols
which had been 921 I are now 92d for money

The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the cases
in the calendar were by no means numerous, yet some of
them were of a very serious description, and would require
the most careful consideration. The first one he would
mention was that of a charge of wilful murder against a
person named Baldry. He was the captain of an American
vessel, and it would be necessary that he (the Recorder)
should mention to them how the law bore upon the point.
A person in authority was to a certain extent allowed to
inflict moderate punishment, and in the event of death
taking place after it amounted to what was termed in law
misadventure ; but if the punishment inflicted was immo-
derate, and death ensued, the act was either manslaughter
or murder. In order to find a person guilty of murder it was
necessary to show that the instrument by which the injuries
were inflicted was one likely to cause death, because if such
was the case, then it became evident that the person ad-
ministering such punishment had some malicious feeling
towards the deceased, and the law said such person was
guilty of murder. If, on the contrary, the instrument used
was not of the description he had mentioned, the offence
amounted only to manslaughter. The facts appeared from
the depositions to be that the deceased was a sailor on board
the ship of which the prisoner was captain, and that on the
former refusing to do certain work he had been commanded
to do, the oaptain proceeded to inflict punishment on him
with a ropo ; and, according to one of the witnesses, he
never did any more work after he had been punished, while
two or three others said ho had performed his duty for
three or four days. When the ship arrived in London no
immediate communication of the occurrence was mado to
the authorities, and the case was only made known after a
quarrel between the captain and his crew, relative to the
payment of their wages. In arriving at a decision they
would also have to consider the state of health of the de-
ceased, because if he was in a weakly condition it would be
highly dangerous to inflict any punishment until he was
able to bear it. The other case was the indictment pre-
ferred against two persons named Garret and Vale, and
death had, it appeared, been occasioned by attempting to
procure.abortion. The facts were exceedingly painful. If
the indictment rested upon the evidence in the depositions
it appeared to be very slight ; but in addition to this there
was the statement of the deceased person, upon which it ap-
peared to him the case against the prisoners mainly rested.
It was well known to most of the jury that a
statement made against a prisoner, without it was taken
en oath, could not be used against him; but to this the
law made one exception, and that was, where the person
making it was believed to be in a dying state; then the
law supposed that a statement made under such circum-
stances was invested with all the solemnity of an oath, and
was admissible as evidence. It, however, appeared that
the evidence to prove the charge was very weak, but per-
haps more would be elicited by minute examination. The
charge of manslaughter was that prefelred against a person
named Rayner, who was one of the servants of a railway
company. There could be no doubt the deaths of the un-
fortunate persons were caused by an accident on a railway,
and the duty of the jury would be to see if that accident was
caused by the negligence of the person indicted. There
was a charge of arson against two persons, named George
and Frederick Cliff, who it was alleged had committed the
act in order to defraud an insurance office. Against one of
the prisoners there did not appear very strong evidence, but
against the other the case was different, as he had, accord-
ing to the evidence, made several misrepresentations. The
fire, according to • one witness, was raging in two distinct
places at one time, and one of the prisoners was seen to
leave the place in a very hurried manner just previous to
the conflagration breaking out. When he was afterwards
asked to account for the fire, he said he could not tell how
it occurred, as he was at Walworth at the time. If it was
clearly proved that the prisoner had been seen under the
circumstances he had mentioned, and he had denied it, it
did appear that he had made a false statement as to the
circumstance, and therefore the fact would re-
quire their most serious consideration. There were
two other serious offences against two persons named
Smith and Robinson, for rape. He did not think he need
further allude to the case, only to say that it was highly
important to know when the offence was first complained
of. In both these cases it appeared the injured parties had
complained immediately after the offence was alleged to
have been committed. Cases of the nature he had alluded
to deserved the most serious consideration, because they
were very easily made, but not so easily disproved, He did
not think there was any other case in the calendar to
which he need call their attention.
The grand jury then retired.

Subscriptions have been invited by the Falmouth
Bock Company for £144,700 further capital is £25 shares.
These docks are being constructed under an act obtained
in
1859, and the capital already expended is £50,000. The
Works thus far completed yielded a satisfactory revenue
and are considered to demonstrate that the entire undertak-
12g will be executed for less than the original estimate.
The tonnage of vessels calling at Falmouth has increased
n1319)24.2 tons ill 1850 to 705)O83 la 1869.

The report of the Royal Mail Steam Company to
be presented on Wednesday next recommends the usual
dividend of £2 per share. The receipts for the half-year
have been £30,032 in excess of the corresponding half of
1860, while the expenditure shows a diminution of £4,662.
These results, in the face of a considerable falling off in the
Brazil line, owing to the competition of the French steamers
from Bordeaux, are to be attributed to the Avon having
been temporarily hired by the Government as a transport,
and the Parana by the Galway Company for a voyage to
the United States, coupled with a continued development
of the traffic to the Pacific via Panama. The repair and
renewal account, last year in debt to the extent of
£14,913, now presents a favourable balance of £1,882, and
the sum standing to the credit of the insurance account is
£181,454, being an increase of £24,922.
EDINBURGH NEW POST•OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL
MUSEUM.—Four of the Queen's state carriages and 14
horses have been removed from London to Edinburgh to
form the Royal cortege on the occasion of the Prince Con-
sort laying the foundation stones of these new buildings on
Wednesday. It is thought probable that her Majesty will
be a spectator of the ceremony at the Post-office. The
Royal party are expected to arrive in Edinburgh from Bal-
moral on Tuesday evening, at half-past 6, and to leave for
London by night train on Wednesday, at half-past 8 ; and a
torchlight display is spoken of on the occasion of the do-
parture. For the afternoon ceremonies the Volunteers of
the city and county aro to be called out, as well as the regi-
ments in garrison ; and the high-constables are to form a
guard of honour for the city magistrates. Among those
who are to take part in the proceedings of the day will 14 -
the Lord Provost, the Hon. W. Cowper, First Commis-
missioner of Works; Sir David Brewster, Principal of
Edinburgh University, &c. The magistrates are to recom-
mend a half-holiday.

CHARGE OF MURDER.--A few days ago Mr.
Whitmersh, one of the coroners for Wilts, held an inquest
on the body of Frances Pearce, the wife of a laboure rat
Chipponham. It appeared that the deceased went to Chip-
penham OR Saturday last to meet her husband. 'They
there went to a public-house, and remained drinking faotr
some hours, and when they left, between 8 andt9h

and afterwards, on hearing her husband
telling her that he would cut her head off, he asked the
husband what he meant, to which he replied that he would
fight any man in England. Next morning, between 4 and
6 o'clock, a cowkeeper, on going to attend his cows in
a field not far from the lane, met the husband, but
thinking, as ho appeared in drink, that he had lost his
way, said nothing to him. He soon afterwards saw
a woman's bonnet, and further on, not far from the
hedge, the body of the deceased. She was very much
bruised, had several marks on her face and body, and blood
on her clothes, and on the back of her head there was a
contused lacerated wound. Christopher Cole, who lodged
with deceased and her husband, gave evidence to the effect
that the husband came home early in the morning, and
said, " Get up ; my old woman is down in the Ninepin
Field, but whether she has had a fit or not I can't tell.
She is tearing her bonnet, and knocking herself all to
pieces." He accordingly went to the field, and finding de -
ceased could not walk, wheeled her home in a barrow,
where she lived about ten minutes, but did not speak. Two
surgeons gave it as their opinion that the cause of death was
effusion of blood to the brain, probably the result of the
wound on the back of the head. The jury returnreeinea

BREAD.—At
Marseilles, three days
back, a jury assembled to fix the price to be paid for what is
called the Domain des Autels, which is to be expropriated
for the construction of a residence for the Prefect. It was
originally purchased many years back for 80,000 f., but
1,800,000 f. were now demanded. The municipality offered
600,0001., sad the jury awarded 1,500,000 f. sommawarli
