No doubt the "^ rities mns ji have noticed this defect, and 18 owlv mention it to show them that fSneW noticed it too. The "Priest's •fV1 by the band, was admirable. But Si the most effective items in this por \M the programme, excepting the final Sjjefore mentioned, was the bass solos, j&rftiin this holy portal," given by the p. «in his mother tongue, and "Great SLd Osiris." The latter song was %Jy sung by a bass voice of great j£rth and fine quality, which did not even from the overwhelming accom- Sentof three trombones. The choruses, ■ EVfew and short, were well performed, Shstanding an undue preponderance of rj, voices. After a short interval the ,- Sii and orchestra re-assembled for the I Sod parti hicil °Pened with the familiar onrtnre to "Zampa," performed on this Ltfion with tne utm°st brilliancy and 1 .reciflon. Next came the Russian National Lhem. of which the last verse, sung in by the entire chorus, and ac : Zwaied by the fall band, was ,!ort effective. We should, how } ncr, notice that the running accompani- I: pent on the bass violins was in a great getfure drowned by the sonorous tones of tie trombones; and w« cannot help thinking wbit a gw»t improvement would be effected jf the number of stringed instruments could bedoatled or trebled, so as more evenly to l»lttcethe wind instruments. ..After a solo (p, the clarionet, executed with the perform !js, well known ability, we had a galop with long, th« oiily interpretation of which was the antic word Krambambouli; what this i means we have not the slightest idea, but I Hie name led us to hope for great things, [ ad we were considerably disappointed. Not «, however, with the following march and This fH, to ob w*7 9- thinking, the most in teresting item in the whole programme, and ib performance waß most successful. Wagner H the founder of a new school in the art and idence of music,- but it yet remains to be irotedJjow many scholars he will have; and 2 W *ere to judge from the rabid attacks d idrerae criticism which the bold German 1 nieived i« " unmusical" England, we could ; not predict; for him a name handed down to ! Hiterity. It has been said that his music nainds oie'; of the band of a Turkish Mcha, where each performer plays as Jo^and- as loud as he can, without irfnence to the doings of his fellows." | We confess to a feeling of sympathy for poor v Wigner, whose chief theory is that that there '; ku intellectual side to music, (i.e.) that in | addition to representing passion, or humour, , Ktecanbe employed as the exponent of I tte abstract modes of thought. Is 11» right or wrong ? Time alone will shew. I Mthere'are those who believe that Wagner's 1 Mwwifl be celebrated by our grandchildren I * the patriarch of .intellectual music. We enact conclude our notice without express ' iig the painful sense of fidgetaess which was • Spirent in the orchestra. Singers constantly f ljpgfrom seat to seat, whilst the conduc fclji rushing about looking very unhappy, f $ tend to induce over the audience that fi-of repose which is necessary to the lfe injoynaent of music. This disorder flatly detracted from the general effect; I flmorer, the eye leves to be pleased as well pMfie'ear. Vl

Arrival of the Stanley Castle.

LoSnw? 06 |fcanl^: Ca3tle arrived from London this afternoon after a very heavy cZn!;T BSagV f 118 da ys *ith/geiiens cargo and several passengers, who arrive all well. She left Dock on the Bfch July : Graves end on the 9th ; and the Dowus on the 10th at 4 p.m Had light baffling winds and calms all the way down Channel. i£u departure from.the Lizard on the 16th July. .Light winds and calms *a 10 4 eS «•» encountered a &<VJ. monsoon,, HadnoN.El. trades. Picked up b.E. trades on Monday, 17th August, in lat. 1 deg 30 N. 20 deg. W. Crossed the Equator, Tuesday 18bh, S.E. trades pre vailed right through. They were carried to 20 deer. s. 30 deg. W., where jthey were lost on the 26th August. Thence strong S.E. gales lasted for several days with heavy head sea. On the night of the 14th September, encountered a hurricane from the S.W., skip scudding, under lower topsails and fore sail, and labouring heavily. Snow, hail, and rain. Several cases of scids on deck had to be thrown overboard. Gale lasted till noon the next day. On Friday the 18th of Sep tember crossed the meridian of the Cape in 45 S. Run the easting down on the same parallel. During the run down con tinuous gales from the S. were met, which went round by the W. to N., and then back nearly every twelve days ; wind never steady. On Friday, 23rd October, with the wind from the eastward increasing, sighted the S. W. Cape of Tasmania. Wind backed into the N. E., and again, continued to blow heavily till Tuesday morning, when it moderated. In the course of this blow the vessel carried away her starboard head, rail and knees. On the 29th wind returned to the northward, and remained so till the day previous to sighting the Three Kings, viz., Monday 2nd November. Down the coast N.W. winds till this morning when it came on to blow a gale from the west, which lasted till arrival as above. The Stan ley Castle beat up the harbour in good" style under lower top sails mainsail and foresail; and at three o'clock anchored off the whaif. During the voyage nothing worthy of record occurred, the vessel proved herself a good seaboat and under favourable circumstances a good and fast sailer, Captain Austin* is spoken very highly of by the passengers. The Stanley Castle is chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company and comes consigned to the agents of the Company here. It is not decided yet whether she will load here or not. The Stanley Castle belongs to James Porter Esq£, of London j and was built at Sunder land. Passengers: Mr and Mrs W. G. Pavett, and Miss Emily Pavett, John Pev erett, Mr and Mrs Blakey, and J.

A magnificent assortment of gold and sliver Kngllsh lever watches, from T. Russell and Son factoid, London, has been Imported by our enter prising citizen, if. H. Lewisson.

There Is one, a calendar watch which gives the day of the month in addition to the correct time. This watch is jewelled in ten holes, and priced at £50. Another ol the best three quarter-plate independent centre • second keyless watch, jewelled watches, jewelled in 18 holes, chrono meter balance, is priced at £60. This is guaranteed by the makers, and is the only watch in New Zealand of the kind, and is worth looking at. Besides these there are ladies' and gentlemen's gold keyless watches, gentlemen's gold centre-second atop watches, and a vaiiety of other kinds of watches, clocks, and jewellery. —From thtf Ev*nino Stab of September 80.1874.— [At>vi,l COFFEE 1 — Brown, Barrett, and Oo.'a Standard Coffees both delicious and strong.
