ibrmances , were the vocalists ; and Miss Goddard was in iio less force than . usual , especially in a duo with M . Sain ton , arranged by Thalberg , on themes from " Les Huguenots , " On Wednesday , also , Mr . Walter Macfarren ' s concert took place at the Beethoven Rooms . He was ably assisted by Misses Palmer and White , and Herr Joachim . The arch-violinist and the beneficiare were heard to advantage in a duo of the latter , for violin and pianoforte ; and three vocal graceful Compositions , also by Mr . Macfarren , highly gratified a fashionable and discriminating audience .
The Musical Uniox brought their season to a close on Tuesday afternoon , at St . James' Hall , -with : the foliowing programme : —Andante and Scherzo—Posth . Quart ., op . 81 , Mendelssohn ; Grand Septet D minor , op . 74 , Hummel ( piano , flute , oboe , horn , viola , violoncello , and double bass ); Grand Septet E fiat , op . 20 , Beethoven ( violin , viola , violoncello , C basso , clarionet , bassoon , and horn ) . Pianoforte -solos : Marche Funebre—Sonato , op . 35 , Chopin ; March , " Ruins of Athens , " Beethoven . - The performers "were : —First violin , Herr Joachim ; second -violin , Herr Goffrie ; viola , Mr . Blagrove , violoncello , Signor Piatti ; cont fa-basso , Mr . Ho well ; flute , Mr . Pratten ; oboe , M . Barret ; clarionet , Mr .
Lazarus ; bassoon , Mr . Hausser ; horn , Mr . C . Harper ; pianoforte , Herr Rubenstein . Herr Rubenstein was the " lion" of the concert , and his magnificent performance of the pianoforte solos , and in Hummel ' s Septet , fully justified those amateurs who have placed him at the head of pianists known to London audiences ; and we presume there are none ofany mark who hare not at some time taken their stand under our British pagoda tree . He was no less warmly received by the highly-cultivated auditory of the Musical Union than that more widelyappreciated public favourite , Herr Joachim , whose taste and execution were especially marked in "the Beethoven Septuor . The indefatigable conductor of the society , Mr . Ella , to whom great praise is due for the endurance with which he
pushed tlie claims of classical music to public notice during the anti-Jullien era , when , high art was decidedly not popular , shows in his farewell address an amount of industry and determination that will enable him to maintain the society on that high ground to which his exertions have mainly raised it . We started with a stern resolve , for one decameron at least , to use up our notes , and- ^ -as far as space permits—our subject . We have done it . If we have omitted any notable concert that took place during the period , we are fain to confess we had not the pleasure of assisting at it , and may , therefore , perhaps lie held excused for not reporting on it . But the inordinate length to which we have been carried must perforce exclude from this article all notice of dramatic entertainments .
The notable feature in this line has been a novelty at the little Strand Theatre , which , we shall notice in our next impression .

The Mori'hy Mania—New Yoiuc . <—A correspondent writes from thut city : — " The latest bit of ex--citement we lm re enjoyed has been caused by the -reception of Mr . Paul Morphy , the chess champion . The Chess Club of this city has presented him with a set of gold and silver chessmen and a gold watch of American manufacture , accompanied , as is usual in suchcases , by two " orations , " containing sketches of the history of chess from the earliest times to the present moment , besides divers prophecies upon the future greatness of this great country , and a great deal of self gratulation as to her past exploits . As usual , the re-action set in in a few days , and every one who took part in those demonstrations is now
¦ m ore or less ashamed of them , and trying to shift the blame on some one else . " After remarking on the propensity of the Americans for processions , fireworks , and poetry , he continues : — . * ' There is a constant craving in the breasts of the inhabitants of the large cities , and particularly of New York " , for a great somebody to fondle and eulogise , and when they get hold of a celebrity , no matter how small , they never think of proportioning their praise to his deserts . No other opportunity for an outbreak on so grand a scale offered itself until the Atlantic cable was laid , and then the tide reached a higher point than it had ever attained before . Cyrus Field of the outburst
was seized on as tho specific object , and thcro was nothing too wild or absurd to be said In his praise . He was compared to Moacs , to Alexander tho Great , and Cyrus the Great . The cable had no sooner vanished into thin air , than Morphy providentially appeared on the horizon , and tho enthusiasm once more rose to fever heat . Chief Justice Shaw , perhaps the first lawyer in the Union , Inld it down emphatically , tluvt to beat everybody nt chess was to afford a practical demonstration of pro-eminent fitness for any pursuit requiring the highest kind of intellect . Tho conclusion was obvious , that Mprphy was the greatest man in tho world .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE WAR . In reply to Mr . B . Cochrane , and to . a question in the early-part of the evening , Lord J . Russem . said that the despatch of Count Cavour of the 14 th of June had not been officially communicated to the Government ; but a despatch had been received from Sir James Hudson , with regard to annexation . ¦ The whole object of the despatch which had been sent to Prussia by the Government was to deprecate the extension of the theatre of the war ; and he thought that , under the circumstances , it would not be advisable to publish what had taken place . He was happy to see troman article in the Moniteur that the armistice would leave the dispute between the allies and Austria open to negotiation . " [ left speaking . ]

HOUSE OF LORDS . ITALIAN AFFAIRS . lord Stratford de Redclifpe said he was prepared to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice with respect to Italian affairs , but this morning a very important event had come to the knowledge of the public ^ One of the first effects wouid be to put ; a stop to the effusion of blood in Italy which every person deplored . Under all circumstances , and acting under the advice of persons of great weight , he had determined to abandon his intention for the present , reserving to himself the right of allowing the motion to remain On the paper , and bringing it forward on another occasion if he should see fit . . . . Earl Granviixe , thanked the noble lord for having withdrawn his motion , but lie trusted on another occasion he would feel it his duty to employ the opportunity he possessed as a member of the House , of expressing liis opinions on foreign policy ; but at the present moment he thought any discussion could only pro ye injurious to the prospects of peace . Their lordships then adjourned . .

THE ARMISTICE . The Moniteur of this ( Friday ) morning says : — " It is necessary that the public should not misunderstand the extent of the armistice ; it-is limited merely to a relaxation of hostilities between the belligerent armies , which , though leaving the field open for negotiations , does not enable us for the present to foresee how the war may be terminated .
