MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening, the
first concert of the " official" year was given to a fashion-
able audience. The principal vocalists were Miss Poole,
Madame D'Antenny, Signor F. Lablache, and Mr. Swif-,
the engagement including also Signor Regondi, the
celebrated performer on the concertina.

NEW ORATORIO.—An oratorio, entitled " The Passage
of the Red Sea," the words by Bishop Heber, has been
composed by C. D. Hackett, Mus. Bac. As this is the
first oratorio which has been composed by a resident pro-
fessor, it is suggested that it should be produced at one of
the early performances of the new Sacred Harmonic
Society.

THEATRE ROYAL.—The operatic company at this
establishment have not proved a very great attraction,
probably owing to the other theatre being open at the
same time, which divides the attention of the play-going
public. The abilities of the actors, however, are not of
a class to attract crowded houses ; and the taste for
operatic entertainments in this town is not sufficiently
strong to induce people to sit and listen to some of the
very best operas spoilt in the representation by artistes
scarcely above mediocrity. They will continue to play
during the week, when we hope to see a little improve-
ment, not in the singing alone, but also in the acting of
the various pieces intended to be brought forward.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. Silsbee's impersonations
of Yankee characters, during the past week, have been
decidedly successful. People laugh not only at the quaint
sayings put into his mouth, but his irresistibly droll man-
ner of delivering them, added to his comic style of
" making up." The audiences, though very fair, have
not been so numerous as we expected ; but as this week
will terminate his engagement, no doubt a great number
will avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing one of
those extraordinary specimens of " humans," who are
said to " lick all creation" for " consarned cuteness" a
" gene-wine down-easter." ,
MILITARY THEATR/CALS..-We understand that it is
the intention of the officers of the 16th Lancers and the
46th Foot (at present quartered in Manchester), to give a
theatrical performance towards the end of March, in aid
of the sufferers by the Ilolmfirth catastrophe. We be-
lieve that the performance will be at the Theatre Royal,
and that the programme will shortly be announced.—
Manchester Guardian.

THE STEAM-SHIP CITY OF MANCHESTER, which left
Philadelphia at seven, a.m., on the 16th ultimo, may be
expected to reach the Mersey in the course of to-morrow
(Wednesday); and will, we understand, be again despatched
in two or three days after her arrival.

AMIISEMENT.—We would call the attention—of
strangers particularly—to Mr. Colles's advertisement in
this day's Standard, by which it will be perceived that
his ingenious and highly amusing novelties still continue
on sale daily, from eleven till dusk, at his apartements,
62, Bold-street. No charge whatever is made for seeing
them, Mr. Colles rightly judging that to see is to purchase,
for we think very few would be able to resist, such is the
entertaining nature of the articles exhibited ; full instruc.
tions being given for the use of them. Those who have
not yet visited him can have no idea whatever of the treat
in store for them. To all, we say—Go and see, and judge
for yourselves.

SPECIAL COUNTY SESSIONS.-PRESTON
HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

A special County Session was held on Friday in the
Court House, Preston, for the purpose of "suspending,
modifying, altering, or absolutely rescinding" the motion
carried at the last session by a small body of justices, for
the erection of 120 additional cells at. the Preston gaol, at
an estimated cost of nearly £7,000. The Venerable
Archdeacon Brooks presided. One hundred and thirteen
magistrates were present. Memorials from Prescot,
Chorley, Caton, Lancaster. Garstang, Fylde, and Ulver-
ston, deprecating the proposed expenditure, and the man-
ner in which the resolution appreving of it was passed,
were presented, and read to the court.
The Rev. J. BIRLEY (in the absence of Mr. Peel) pro-
posed that the resolution in question should be rescinded.
He stated that he did not enter into a discussion of the
case, but founded his proposition entirely upon the im-
propriety and illegality of the justices in January last.
There were 51 visiting justices of the Preston House of
Correction, and yet. when it was resolved to recommend
the erection of the cells in question, there were only eight
magistrates present.
Mr. R. T. PARKER seconded Mr. Birley's motion,
which was supported by the Rev. R. Moore.
Mr. C. R. JACSON proposed the adoption of the follow-
ing amendment:—

"That this court suspend, till the April annual session, the
further consideration of the subject, to afford an opportunity to
a committee to inquire into the requirements of all the county
prisons, and ascertain what increased quantity of separate cel-
lular accommodation is necessary, and to present a report to
the court."

Mr. TINNE seconded the adoption of the amendment.
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which several
of the magistrates, though disapproving of the mode in
which the resolution was carried at the session in January,
expressed themselves in favour of the amendment, wish.
ing to have the question involved—the propriety of erect-
ing the cells—further considered. A number of the
justices, on the other hand, desired the court to confine
itself to the question whether it would allow an expen-
diture of money to be foisted upon the county by such
improper and illegal means as those which marked the
conduct of the magistrates at the last session, in reference
to the alterations at the Preston House of Correction.
Mr. EARLE hoped the magistrates present would put a
stop to this " tricky work." He was of opinion, how-
ever, that these " trickish" proceedings would continue
so long as the sessions were holden at Preston.

Mr. J. B. ADDISON and the Rev. J. 0. PARR at great
length defended the visiting justices from the aspersions
which had been cast upon them, and contended strenuously
for the necessity and utility of the cells being erected.
Mr. A. KAY, Mr. SANDERS, Mr. WATTS, and the
Rev. T. MACKRETH severally spoke in favour of Mr.
Birley's motion, as also did Mr. E. DAWSON, who said
that Lancaster Castle was ready now for the reception of
24 prisoners under the separate system, and that at a very
small expense, there would be accommodation for between
200 and 300 delinquents in that gaol, under the same
discipline. _ _

The meeting being impatient to divide, the Rev. J. S.
BIRLEY briefly replied, and the chairman was about to
put the question, when Mr. JACKSON rose and said that
he and Mr. Tinne had resolved, seeing the feeling in the
court, to withdraw the amendment.

The motion was then put and carried by an immense
majority, upwards of 100 magistrates voting for it, and
only about seven hands being held up against it. The
court rose at half-past three o'clock, after a sitting of
four and-a-half hours duration.

FAREWELL DINNER TO MR. BUCKNALL..-011 Monday
last, the intended farewell dinner to Mr. H. W. Bucknall,
of the late firm of Bucknall and Spark, took place at the
White Lion, Bristol. It was designed as a token and
tribute of respect to that gentleman, from his many
private friends and others, who held him highly in esteem
for his probity and public spirit as a fellow-citizen. The
dinner was a splendid one, and sixty-two gentlemen,
brought together without solicitation, but
purely as an
act of spontaneous friendship, sat down under the pre-
sidency of Sir John Kerle Haberfield ; Mr. Shaw and
Mr. Leech officiating as croupiers. There were also pre..
sent eight members of the Town Council, while amongst
the company were many leading men of businesss belong..
ing to the city. The evening was a most agreeable one,
and though the occasion—namely, the
.departure of an
old and respected friend and fellow-9tlzen for a new
sphere of action—had its many
.associations of regret—
dipressu veteris confuses am:ci—a hearty, kind, and
sociable spirit prevailed amongst those present.—Bristol
Times. [Mr. Bucknall, it will be seen by our advertis-
ing columns, is about to commence business in Liverpool.]

Re JOHN HOMOCKS.—TiIiS protracted inquiry was
decided on Tuesday. The commissioner directed that the
bankrupt's certificate should he suspended for three
months, the certificate to be of the second class.
Re J. ABRAHAMS.--This bankrupt applied for his cer-
tificate on Wednesday. The case occupied the entire day.
The court cid not rise until six o'clock, when, his honour
stated that he should take time to consider the case, and
accordingly adjourned the inquiry.
Re THOMPSON AND LEtTu.---On Thursday an appli-
cation was made for a certificate. The bankrupts were
timber-merchants and tar-distillers, The commis-loner
granted a certificate of the first class.
