LONDON, 21st July, The papers unanimously indorse the Bri- tish protest and declare that the Government has the whole nation at its back.

Unless the British fleet seizes the Afalacca, or any other untoward incident occurs, it is believed the affair will be amicably settled.

Mr. Balfour, replying to Mr. Bowles, said the Government will undoubtedly have to make a statement on this most serious ques- tion; but it was undesirable to make a pre

mature statement.

GREATEST LIVING VIOLINIST.

DR. JOACHIM AND SIXTY YEARS OF

ENGLISH MUSIC.

On May 16th, the greatest living violinist was presented with his portrait, painted by the greatest living portrait-painter, Mr. Sargent. The presentation was made by Mr. Balfour, Prime Minister, at Queen's Hall. It was on May 27, 1844, (writes Frank Merry, in the Daily Afaf?) that Master Joseph Joachim, aged thirteen, played the Beethoven concerto at a Philharmonic concert conducted by Mendels

This is why we flock to hear Joachim lead bis incomparable quartet. He begins with Papa Haydn. You are transported at once into a different world to this-the world of powder and peruke. You find yourself at the palace of the Esterhazy-where handsome men and lovely women, are acting the pageant of existence in the olden time. Their swoop ing bows, their gay curlsies, the fine sentiments gallantly spoken, arise naturally from a real nobility of nature yet unspoiled. How glo- riously they buat, how exquisitely they minuet! How superbly they love! Ah! the old times that can never come again. Where did Joac- him learn his secret?

Joachim's first appearance, indeed, was a little earlier, at Drury Lane Theatre, between the acts of "Bohemian Girl," then the rage.
