MISCET.Z.B.NEOIII3.

The third concert of the Societa Armonica took place on
Monday at the Hanover-square Rooms, and there was an ample
attendance of visitors. Miss Rainforth, Signor Salvi, and a
Signor Pergetti were the vocalists. In a duet of Donizettes
there was some misunderstanding between the singers and
the accompanyist, and a break down nearly ensued. The
'Hifi-city however was got over, and they came smoothly to
An end. Signor Pergetti i 3 a male soprano—a class of singers,
after the experiences in Velluti, not likely to be tolerated
again in this country.
The lady of Sir IN oil Douglas, Commandant of the Forces
in Scotland, presented new colours to the 26th Cameronians,
on Friday last, on Bruntsfield Links, Edinburgh, after
having been consecrated in the usual manner, by the Rev.
Professor Lee. The soldiers were entertained at dinner in
the Palace-square, at the castle, and a ball and supper were
given in honour of the event, by the officers, to about 500 of
the elite of the city and neighbourhood.

A conditional Order fora mandamus directing Mr. Board,
of Trinity College, Dublin, to admit a gentleman, named
Heron, of the Roman Catholic persuasion, as a scholar, was
obtained a few clays ago in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, and
excites a good deal of anxiety as to its result, especially as
it is said Mr. Longfield, one of the fellows of College, and a
gentleman of some celebrity at the bar, has given his pro-
fessional opinion that Papists are eligible to scholarships.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NIIIWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.

The attenuated condition of a list that on its first ap-
pearance in " outline "looked very much like " business,"
is partly ascribed to the unpopularity of the handicap
for the Suffolk Stakes, and partly to the excessive hard-
ness of the ground, which naturally disinclines trainers
to risk horses that already arc, or will be, engaged at
Gorhanibury, Epsom, or Ascot. A suspicion that the
mighty promise on paper would come to nothing, coupled
with the announcement that Oakley's matches with
Emma and St. Lawrence were off, sufficiently explains
why the attendance on the Heath this afternoon was so
small, and leads us to anticipate that although, a race of
some kind may be knocked up for Thursday, the meet-
ing, as far as the public are interested, will terminate
to-morrow. The sport this afternoon will speak for
itself.
