" We, the members of the Liverpool Philharmonic
Auxiliary Society, forming the choral department of that
society, cannot allow you, sir, to leave our shores with-
out expressing our earnest hope that you will be received
by our Transatlantic brethren with the respect and en-
thusiasm which your talents so eminently merit, and
that you' may return to England in the enjoyment of
health, having attained every success which your
most sanguine anticipations may suggest. We take
this opportunity of expressing our thanks to yO5,
sir, for the warm interest you have ever ma- •
nifested for the welfare of this society; and while
we remember with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction
and pleasure the several occasions which have united us
in one common cause, we hope the time is not far dis-
tant when we may again be placed under your admi-

best wishes for your continued prosperity, and that every
just
blessing may attend you.

"Liverpool, August 19, 1850."
The address, enclosed in a morocco case, was then
handed to Mr. Benedict amidst loud applause.
Air. E. W. THOMAS, the leader of the band, de-
sired to say, on behalf of the orchestra and himself,
that they could have but one wish for so able a
conductor, so talented a musician, and so good a
man.—(Loud applause.)
Mr. BENEDICT, who was visibly affected, said that
he must apologise for not being able to express at the
present moment the emotions which he felt ; but he
hoped they would be indulgent enough to make up
any deficiency of his at their own hearts.—(Cheers.)
From the first moment he had the pleasure of being
connected with the Philharmonic Society, it had been
his greatest care to promote their interest, and be felt
sure that there was much more due from him than
wishes for the welfare of the society ;
they had received at his hands. They had his best
excuse him for the indifferent manner in which he
expressed himself in English.—(Cheers.) What he
could not say was much better than what' he had ex-
and they must
pressed.—(Great applause.)
On the call of Mr. BENEDICT, three hearty cheers
were given for .Madlle. Lind, and the music was then
resumed.
This scene was the more interesting, because wholly
; unexpected, and no one seemed to enter more heartily
into it than Jenny Lind herself. •
The manner in which the tickets for these concerts
}rave been forced up to an extravagant premium has
fo ruled the subject of general conversation and public
di suasion. It is stated, in a local journal of repute-
tior , that proprietors of the Philharmonic Hall (of
cow 'se subscribers also), having a right of pre-emption
of th e tickets, took their whole number, and, by thus
narro wing the general market. were able to sell them
at a v ery

(From the Englishman of July 2.)
The following is an extract of a letter from Patna,
which gives some additional particulars of the affair
on board the Berhampooter :
" Narian Singb, Golab Singb, and others of our op-
ponents in the late Seikh campaign, with other Seikh
prisoners (dacoits, &c), in all thirty-nine muscular and
powerful people, of whom two were women, were
embarked at Allahabad on board the flat Kaleegunga,
in tow of the steamer Berhampooter ; their guard was
composed of two old and infirm Naiks, eight gaol
guards, and eight teeka burkundazea I
"The prisoners were shackled hands and feet, and
were secured to the larboard side of the cargo boat
by long chains running through their shackles, both
ends being fastened to the vessel.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 20.)
• Suoax..—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent
demand for both the scale and refining purposes; former
rates are well supported, and in some cases a small
advance was obtained for better sorts of yellow and
strong grey. The purchases amounted to 854 hhds. &c.,
including at public sale 165 hlids Barbadoes, which
went freely at former rates, and in some cases 6d
per cwt above for better kinds; brown realised 359, low
yellow 36s to 36s 64, mid 37s to 38s 6d, good 39s to
495, fine 40; 61 to 42s 6i,: and one lot crystalized 44s
prr cwt. Operations in all sorts of Sugar would have
been upon a larger scale to-day had holders been more
disposed to sell. For public sale on Thursday 6,000 chests
3 ellow and 360 chests white Havannah; and for Friday
100 rinds 70 tres 50 brls crystalized Demerara Sugar are
declared.

" The vessel started from Allahabad on the 18th,
and arrived at Dinabpore on Saturday, the 22d inst.;
having coaled and taken in a large supply of wood,
the voyage downwards was resumed at noon.
"At about half-past five o'clock that afternoon a
portion of the prisoners, as usual, were removed from
the chain, for the purpose of performing their ablu-
tions, &c., when, no doubt according to a preconcerted
arrangement (fur the prisoners had, during the day,
made inquiries, regarding the width, &c., of the
hill stream, called the Gunduck, which empties itself
at the bank immediately opposite to Patna), a shrill
whistle was heard to proceed from Narain Singh, and
in a moment the other prisoners cast off the long chain,
and seized the loaded muskets belonging to the guard,
which were piled on the hatches of the Flat.
" On the extraordinary noise of the rattling of
chains reaching the ears of the commander (Mr.
Stout), of the cargo boat, who was seated forward in
the performance of his special duty, he went aft, and
was immediately assailed by the prisoners ; he de-
fended himself from injury, and returned forward to
alarm the folks on board the steamer by a cry of
munity. The commander and officers of the steamer,
accompanied by the passengers, went on board the
flat ;.4 they were likewise attacked, and as they
had merely a sword and a few sticks, with which
they could do nothing in the way of defence from
loaded muskets, they prudently retreated to the
steamer in search of arms and ammunition.
Arms where found, some sans locks, others sans flints,
Sre.l In this predicament, and since the unshackled
prisoners had commenced to shoot at every white face
(their avowed object was
.to kill the Feringees, not
the classies), which they found stealii g a glance at
them, and a* there was every probability that when
all the prisoners were free from their irons they would
board the steamer, a capstan consultation was held,
and it was determined to run the vessel ashore.
" Having thus secured the vessel, all who had es-
caped the flying bullets by the intervention of the
large pile of fire wood in the after part of the steamer,
commenced their escape to the shore, but not without
a few collies of balls being sent at them ; fortunately
they did no harm. The officer of the steamer, I be-
lieve by name Mr. Chew, had a very narrow escape
for his life. He unfortunately got stuck in the mud,
from which he could not extricate himself, in this

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT WELLS.—On Thursday
weight, in front of the cathedral, fell to the ground with a
sculptured statue. weighing several hundred
tremendous crash. The sheriff's coach had been standing on
an adjoining spot, waiting for the judges and sheriff for some
time, and had only movedoff a short time before the accident
occurred. We trust the dean and chapter will see the neces-
sity of examining the state of the other statues, which, it
appears, have been in au insecure state for some time Past—

CULTIVATION AND COWKEEP-
'NG- ON A SMALL SCALE.
A letter from Miss Martineau to the Master of the
Guiltcross *Workhouse has been published, describing
the result of a plan of cultivation and cowkeeping
originally suggested to her by him, by means of
which she has been enabled to maintain two cows on
about an acre and a quarter of land. Miss Marti-
neau sets out an account of the difficulty and
expense of procuring butter, cream, eggs, ham,
bacon, fowls, &c., at her residence at Ambleside,
and of the ridicule created by her attempt
to raise articles of this sort on her little bit of
ground, by the aid of a labourer and his wife dis-
patched from Norfolk. She then proceeds as follows :
"In planning the turning up of my ground for
spade cultivation, I went on the supposition of keep•
ing only one cow; and for seven months we kept only
one. Bat I considered the incovenience of the cow
being dry for three months out of the twelve, and that
there was room in the stable for a second, and little
more trouble in keeping two than one ; and a pretty
certain market among my neighbours for whatever
butter and rniik I might have to sell. So I bought a
spring calver,' and we find that we very nearly main-
tain them both on little more than three-quarters of an
acre of grass, and less than half an acre of garden.
The second cow pays her way by her manure and
milk.

" Our first consideration was the manure. It is
as true with relation to our smaller concerns as to a
greater, that the more manure, the more green
crops ; the more green crops, the more stock ; the
more stock, the more manure.' There are two tanks,
well flagged and cemented, well closed, so that not a
drop can ooze out. One is connected with the house,
and the other with the cottage and cow-house, receiving
all their drainage cf every kind. A barrel on
wheels stands at the back door to receive all the
slops, soap-suds, cabbage water, &c., and this liquid
manure is wheeled away, and applied where it is
wanted. There is a compost pit at the back of the
kitchen garden ; and a compost heap behind some
young trees at the bottom of the field. What with
the clippings, and weedings, and sweepings, and no-
thin;
thin being wasted, the pit being kept clean, and the
cow-houset swept out twice a day, we have abundance
of manure (without buying any whatever), which ac-
counts for the abundance of our crops thus far. One
instance of my servant's passion for economy amused
me so much that it seems worth telling you. Early
one morning, returning from my walk, I looked in
upon the pig, just when his breakfast was approach-
ing in another direction. I said to Robert, I think
piggy looks very well, only that he wants a washing.'
Yes, ma'am,' said Robert, that will be to-morrow.
To-morrow is washing day, and the suds will wash
the pig first, and then be as good, and better, for
manure ; and then the soap serves three times over.'
"Our available ground is of pasture, 3 roods, 28
perches; and of tilled ground, 1 rood, 15 perches.
There are besides about 26 perches of grass in the
little plantation, orchard, and slope, which yield some
fresh grass when mowed in summer. I shall turn up
a little more ground this spring in order to provide
completely for the maintenance of two cows,
though I cannot encroach much more upon the
grass, on account of the views from the win-
dows. But for this we should give our cows no
grass or hay, which are the most expensive kinds
of food. Our soil is good; neither very rich
nor very light; laying at varying depths upon lime-
stone. Much of our newly-dug portion was full of
stones. Our neighbours advised us to cover them up
again, but we judged differently. I thought we
might as well make drains of the new pathways we
must have, so, by deep digging, we obtained di ains,
and the large stones were thus disposed of. Some
more were carted out to mend the roads, and when
my servant was in despair at there being yet more,
it occurred to him to dig out good earth from corners
of the plantation, and supply its place with stone.
He actually dug pits breast deep for the purpose.
"His digging for crops was not less than two spits
deep, dug straight down, and the whole was richly
manured. The ground being ready, our method is
this :
" In August we sow cabbage seed, and by the end
of September we begin to set out the young plants,
about 400 per week, for six weeks, to secure a suc-
cession. We set them in rows, the plants being
eleven inches apart, and the rows a yard apart. In
March and April we sow swedes and beets in
alternate rows, between the rows of cabbages.
By the time we begin to cut the cabbages,
the turnips and beets are past the danger of
the fly, and may be thinned—the removal of the
cabbages letting in air and sunshine. We also keep
a portion of ground for Belgian carrots, which afford
excellent cow food. We succeeded less with these this
year than with our other crops, from their not being
sufficiently thinned. But we had 25 stone of them, and
four or five carrots per day were very acceptable to the
cows. By the end of March the cows can get a bite in
the pasture, and the mowings of grass in the orchard,
&c., are brought to them fresh. While the pasture
is shut up for hay the cabbages begin to ripen. They
weigh from 41138. to 121h5., aecleach cow eats about 18
per day. This is their food from June to November,
with such grazing as they get after our hay-malting,
and a handful or two per day of Indian meal, scalded
and given with their grass. The pasture having been
well manured in the winter and wonderfully retrieved
by good care, yielded more than a ton and a half of
the finest hay. This year, I think, I shall try for a
second crop, as we have abundance of manure. But
last year I had half the pasture hurdled off, and the
cows let out for some time every fine day to graze,
the one half for one fortnight, and the other the next.
By the time the grass and cabbages were done, we
had laid in less than we hope to produce this year, but
a fair amount of crops—for the cows ene and a half
ton of hay, 25 stone of Belgian carrots, and at least
10 cwt. of Swedes and beet.
" We laid out too much of our ground for house-
hold vegetables, having had a surplus after the fol-
lowing supply :—Fine green peas—from the 12th of
June till the middle of September—peas, lettuces,
radishes, spinach, turnips, and carrots, and onions,
enough for the whole winter—five or six stone of
early potatoes, vegetable marrow, a few cucumber,
abundance of cauliflowers, broccoli, and cabbages, and
plenty of rhubarb and gooseberries. A staawberry
bed is laid out, too, and we are to have plenty of
apples and pears, and cherries, and damsons, here-
after. We used enough green vegetables for a
family of five persons for the whole summer and
autumn.
" The average yield of the cows is about ten quarts
per day each—i. e., about four pounds of butter per
week. The skimmed milk is eagerly bought, being
as good as I used to buy for new milk. The butter-
milk improves our bread and cakes very much, and
the pig has what we do not use. The cows give six-
teen quarts per days for some time after calving, and
are dry for about three months before. One cow
calved in October, and we sold the calf (a cow calf)
for a guinea at the end of a fortnight. The some cow
is to calve again in September, and the other in May,
and thus a continued supply of milk is provided fur.
We kill two pigs in a year, and selling half each time,
get our hams and so:muchbacon as we want for little
or nothing. What we have to buy is three barrels
of Indian meal in a year (at an average of 16s. each),
some of which we use ourselves for puddings and cakes,
and which goes far towards feeding the fowls ; a few
trusses of wheat straw after harvest (when it is cheapest)
to chop and mix with the cows' boiled turnip food
in winter, a few pennyworths of grain per week, and
two or three loads of turnips after Midsummer, and
perhaps a little (but a very little) hay. As I con-
sider that the cows maintain the man, this expenditure
is all that I have to make in return for our large
supply of vegetables, pork, bacon, and hams, eggs,
and a few fowls, our gardening, and the keeping of
the whole ground in high order, and, moreover,
through the good nature of my excellent servant, our
window cleaning and coal-shifting.
" The cow-house is, as I said, swept out (into the
entrance of the tank) twice a day ; and it is white -
washed twice a year. The cows are rubbed down daily,
and kept almost as sleek as horses. Both are now in
much finer condition than when they came. They were
rather restless for a few weeks, after first coining
from the fell ; but they seem now perfectly happy,
and when cut in the field they return to the stable
of their own accord to avoid rains, heat, or flies.
Their food in winter is each a stone of turnips three
times a day ; the turnips being shred and boiled with*
chopped wheat straw, a little hay, a handful of salt,
and a double handfuld of Indian meal, or somewhat
more of bran. hey may have, besides, to amuse
themselves with, a few raw turnips and two or tbree
handfuls of hay per day."

MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS.
The eleventh annual report of the Registrar-
General of births, deaths, and marriages in England,
records the sum of his operations in the year 1848.
In that year, 138,230 marriages were solemnised; the
births of 563,059 children were registered; and
399,800 people died..
Of the marriages, 113,284 were contracted between
bachelors and spinsters ; 5,920 between bachelors and
widows; 12,702 between widowers and spinsters ; and
6,324 between widowers and widows. From this it
would appear widowers are more frequently found
diF.posed to venture on the married state again than
widows ; and that the majority of widowers prefer to
marry spinsters, while the majority of widows prefer
widowers.

DEATH FROM A BATHING MACHINE.--Yesterday
an inquest was held by Mr. Carter, the coroner, at the Green
Dragon, Belvidere-road, Lambeth, on the body of Benjamin
Chamberlain, aged two years and a half. who was killed in a
most singular and distressing manner. Mrs. Oldfield, wife of
Mr. Thomas Albion Oldtield, of 7, Thornhill-road, Islington,
stated that the deceased was her nephew, and 'lived with his
parents at 36, Belvidere-road, Lambeth. On Friday week
they were all at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, where they en-
gaged a machine for a bathe. After they had been in the
water, the deceased was standing on one of the steps when
the machine went on, and he was thrown on his head against
a beam. The next day there was a contused wound on it,
which was poulticed at Br4;liton, but, on reaching London on
Tuesday, he was much worse, and Mr. Miskin, of the York.
road, surgeon, was called in and attended him to his death on
Thursday, which, in his opinion was cawed from ihflamma-
tion of the brain, arising from the blow on the back of the
head. 'The coroner a d jury expressed a hope that the press
would notice this case, in order that the owners of machines
for bathing might be more cautious for the future. Verdict,
" Accidental death."

Of the 138,230 marriages, 121,469 were celebrated
according to the rites of the Established Church ; of
these only 13 were by special licence.
Of the parties contracting, 43,166 men and 62,771
women signed the marriage register with marks.
In 32,974 cases both parties signed ; in 39,989,
only one.
The number of marriages in the quarter ending
the last day of March was 28,398 ; in the quarter
ending the last day of June, 34,721; in the quarter
ending the last day of September, 32,995 ; in the
quarter ending the last day of December, 42,116.
There were 563,059 births registered in 1848. Of
these 288,346 were males, and 274,713 females.
The total of illsgitimate births registered in 1848
was 36,747. Of these 18,580 were males, and
18,167 females.

The number of births registered in the quarter
ending the last day of March was 139,736 ; in the
quarter ending the last day of June, 149,760 ; in the
quarter ending the last day of September, 140,359 ;
in the quarter ending the last day of December,
133,204. The number of illegitimate births re-
gistered in the first quarter of the year was 9,272 ;
in the second, 9,484; in the third, 9,033 ; in the
fourth, 8,958. Summer would, therefore, appear to
be the most licentious, and winter the most chaste
season.

ALAUM OF FMBnT TRI MANSION-110USF.--Oil
Sunday evening, about six o'clock. an alarm of lira was
given at the Mansion-hc ase, and the Watling-street and Far-
ringdon-street engines were quickly on the spot, under the
direction of Mr. Braidwood. It was found that the fire
existed in the kitchen flue, and was discovered just as the
Lord Mayor was about to sit down to dinner. The fire was
extinguished by the firemen.by the use of the buckets Were
any damage was done.

The number of males who died in 1848 was
202,949 ; of females, 196,851. The number of deaths
in the first quarter of the year was 120,034; in the
second, 99,727; in the third, 87,602; in the fourth,
92,437. The maximum number of deaths occurred
in the winter quarter, the minimum in the summer
one.
