MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT To Ma. StrDLOW.—The
valuable services rendered by Mr. William Sudlow, in
connexion with the concerts given under the auspices of
the Philharmonic Society,
i induced the ladies and gentle-
men connected with the institution to give a testimonial
or complimentary concert in favour of that gentleman..
The performance took place in the magnificent hall of the-
society on the evening of Tuesday last ; the attendance
' .

and embraced an extensive portion of the Rite
of Liverpool society. The chief vocalists on the occasion
were Misses Birch and Eyles, and Madame Weiss ; Mr.
Benson and Mr. W. H. Weiss : the choruses were given
by an extensive and efficient choir, supported by a full.
orchestra, numbering 300 performers, and the powerful
and skilfully applied aid of the fine organ. The piece
selected for performance was Handel's magnificent oratorio,
" The Messiah," which was given in a style and with a
success vArthy of the character of the society. The
choruses and orchestral effects, upon the majestic grandeur
and sublimity of which the character of the oratorio mainly
depends, were managed with much steadiness and precision,
the parts being generally well taken up, and the charac- •
teristics and light and shade of the music being happily
displayed. In some points, no doubt, the fastidious ear

and voices seemed to go in opposite directions, resulting in_
a series of percussive sounds, which grated upon without
filling the ear. Notwithstanding which blemish, so com—
plete and effective was the general rendering of this
chorus, and also of the "Hallelujah," that, in defiance of
etiquette and regardless of convenience, the audience
called loudly and enthusiastically for their repetition,.
which, after some hesitation, was complied with in both
instances. The "Pastoral symphony, so sweetly sug-
gestive of sylvan scenery and pastoral delights —so imbued.
with warbling sounds and hovering melody—was given

CATTLE MARKETS

SALFORD, DEC. 21.—The number of beasts less, and of
middling quality, prices from Sid to 74, and all sold up at the
close. Sheep less, and of mixed quality, from 64 to 70, and
mostly all sold up at the close. Calves, 64 to 7id, and all

DUBLIN, DEC. 22.—We had a much shorter supply to-
day than last week, especially cattle. The demand for ordi-
nary beef rated from 48s to 555; good, 56s to 58s; and for
top qualities, 60s per cwt., sinking offal; mutton, 50 to 62d ;
top, 70; veal, lad to 8d per lb. in do. The pig market an
indifferent one as to the numbers and quality. Very few

sid per lb. Lambs, 325 64 each.

WooL.—Tbaw has been a moderate extent of
business doineiti. English and Irish Fleece Wools,
both for the home market and the continent • and
prices are quite id. per lb. higher. Irish ilog-
gets are selling at 151 d. per lb., and Wethers 151 d.
to Mid. per lb., delivered in Dublin.
METALS.—Great activity prevails in almost every
branch of the Iron trade, and the only doubt
which appears to prevail is as to the amount of
advance to be demanded at the preliminary meet-
ing which will take place on Thursday next.
Good Pigs are readily bought np ; but it is ques-
tionable whether the speculative price which they
lately reached can be maintained.
TIMBER.—We give the following extracts from
the circular of Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay, of
this town :

" Since our annual circular, dated Ist February, 425
vessels, 293281 tons register, wood laden, have arrived
from British North America, namely, 146 from Quebec,
125 from St. John, N. 8., and 154 from other ports ; in the
like time last year, 365 vessels, 239,895 tons, arrived. A
general dulness prevails in the timber trade at this season
of the year. Coupled with the arrival of many vessels
during the latter part of the last and the early part of the

present mouth, the scarcity of suitable labour to handle
the cargoes, the crowded state of the docks and quays, and
a determination on the part of some of the buyers to with-
draw from the market for a time,—not from the fact of
their being overburthened with stock, but on the contrary,
(desirous of beginning to lay in for the winter consumption
at lower rates,) in which, to a certain extent, their expec-
tations have not been realised,—all these causes combine
to force prices down. The greater portion of the importers,
however, being well aware of the extent of stock on hand,
as also of the probable quantity to come forward to Ist
February, (the close of the import season,) have deter-
mined not to submit to a reduction on the present rates,
particularly in the article of St. John deals, which are of
the best quality, and more in demand than any other
description brought to market. Consequently, several
cargoes have been stored for importers' account, and held
firmly for the highest prices. The news received this week
from Quebec of the loss of several ships and cargoes, as
also the detention of many others for the winter by frost
and ice, destined for this port, has had the effect of causing
greater firmness on the part of importers, to which the
trade has already responded. Of Baltic, since Ist February
to date, 90 vessels, 25,260 tons register, wood laden, have
arrived, against the corresponding date last year-59 ves-
sels, 18,498 tons register. Of deals and battens, several
cargoes and parcels are beingyarded for importers' account.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-12-27

FOREIG.Y INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.—The despatch addressed simultaneously by
the Governments of Austria, France, Great Britain, and
Prussia, to their representatives at Constantinople, has
been published by the French papers. It gives to those
representatives the instructions identiques which were to
be sent to them in conformity with the protocol of the
sth of December. The text of the protocol is also pub-
lished, and its substance, as well as that of the despatch,
is contained in the brief collective note of the representa-
tives, as follows :—" The undersigned, representatives of
Austria, France, Great Britain, and Prussia, assembled at
a conference at Vienna, have received instructions to
declare that their respective Governments behold with
profound regiet the commencement of hostilities between
Russia and the Porte, and desire exceedingly, by interpo-
sing between the belligerent Powers, to prevent any fresh
effusion of blood and to put an end to a state of things
which menaces seriously the peace of Europe. Russia
having given an assurance that she was disposed to treat,
and the undersigned not doubting that the Porte is ani-
mated by the same spirit, they request, in the name of
their respective Governments, to be informed on what
conditions the Ottoman Empire would consent to nego-
tiate a treaty of peace."
Ausrau.—The Emperor of Austria has appointed
Count Valentine Esterhazy his Ambassador Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Russia, in
the room of Count Rudolph Appony, who is removed to
the same post at the Court of Bavaria.
PERBIA.—The Pattie, by an authority derived from
Constantinople, says that Persia had not declared war
on Turkey, as was erroneously stated everywhere in
Europe by the emissaries of Russia; but it appears that
a very marked difference had occurred between the Court
of Teheran and the Charge d'Affaires of England. How-
ever, this latter had not, at the date of the most recent
news, quitted the country ; he had merely given his
Government advice of the state of things in Persia.

of last week would have led one to suppose; but it has been
quite as brisk as that of any market which has been held
lateiy. The downward tendency of prices which prevailed a
week ago has given way, and been succeeded by a tone of
firmness which the state of the wool market is likely to up-
hold, for some time at least, if we may judge from present
appearances. A good business has been done by the wool-
staplers.

itioTTtscumu.—The usual absence of demand always ex-
perienced this month still continues, and, with the exception
of a few final orders for the season, both for lace and hosiery,
there is comparatively nothing doing. There are a few orders
out for spring goods in the hosiery trade, but as ample time
is given for their completion, there does not appear any
activity in the trade. Stocks of goods are light, and there
can be little doubt of an average trade doing for the next
three months.
