The directors of the Crystal Palace wdi "t mid have never intended to allow, the sale I l iatolisitiag liquors or strong drinks at any time or made' say timan..l.nc,s in their grounds.

One object of the present meeting haul been to move a resolution calling on the directors to prohibit the sale of strong drinks, but, as the meeting would see by the letter he had mad, the intention was funnelled, and all they now had to do wu to thank the directors for their praiseworthy and spire taseous action.

MISS RANSFORD'S MUSICAL SOIREES. Miss Ilansford, a young s • nger of great talent and rinse reputation, has coma • series of serifs at her residence I. Welbeek-street, one of which was given oa Tuesday evening. The eatertaiament, with the eactption of one instrumental piece, sea entirely vocal, and was ea coodiegly elegant and agreeable; and—what, to out feeling, mach increased its attractioa—it was essentially English in Its character. Tho performance began with Calleott's glee, " When time was entwining," sang by Lim Ransford, her father, sod brother, a pleasant family trio, whose style of glee-singing is admirable. A new ballad, " Song should breathe of scents and Sowers, " by Mr. J. L. Hatton, and one of the finest specimens of 'imposers genius, was beautifully sung by Mr. Beams, Wiese performaass of it wall undoubtedly make it ens of the most popular things of the seems.

Baraett's I'M . trio, "The magi° wave searf," from " The Moun tain Sylph," executed by Mir Raadsed, Mr. Beaman, and Mr. Rumford, was an cleanest spoeimea of pare and deb -1 earn concerted singing ; and the more remark may be made es the performance of Costa's four-part carton, " Rico gee' fins Slant'," by Miss Raoskird, Mies Baran, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Burdisi. Of the other 'meal pieces, especial notice ia due to Miss Raneford's gaging of the Scottish ballad "Logic o' Buchan," a perfect gess of simplicity and tenderness; and to Duggan's song, The Merman;' • highly imaginative composition, snag with great spirit by Mr. Rumford. _ _ Tha abilsbreremmatel Mace et tbe meals. wu Pin ola's% pirmedrele Imatris ea • Name ban " Loos di Latawanant," alud by Xadesmiselie;Crieloe, who threw away iamb admirable eeseades 4U very we:thins auic.

Anxiety continues to be ex premed auto the result of the debates on the budget, which, so far, appear to threaten the existence of the ministry. It is probable that the great demand for money in the Stock Exchange, in connexion with the settlement of the share account, may also have had some influence. __ Ousels went dealt is till the thermos' at 1001 to bat the last sales were at 100, and the price left 4100 to I. ex div. for the opening of the 18th Jan.

The line is at first to be carried from Aberdeen to Elgin only. The Second Chamber of the States General of Holland has just adopted, by 37 votes against I. the bill relative to the conversion of the Four per Cent. Debt. By the terms of the law, as at present de cided upon, the government will have the power of converting the 4 per cent. into a 31 per cent, stock at a minimum rate of 99 per cent., or into a 31 per cent. stock at a minimum of 97 per cent. Satisfaction is felt by the holders of French shares at the expressed intention of Louis Napoleon's government to make future concessions of railways upon a more sparing scale. This measure was indeed absolutely required, in order to check the rush of speculators who, wi thout considering the capabilities of the market, are promoting railway projects to a vast extent, many of them doubtless calculated ultimately to be of great benefit, but yet to temporarily produ, e a very injurious effect upon the money market and trade generally, owing to their absorbing so much capital. The amount of eapital required for the lines, concessions for which have already been applied for, is no less than seventy millions sterling. It is understood the government has expressed its intention to give priority, in future cososesions, to such lines as contemplate the forma fioe of useful branches to railways already conceded. The silver brought in by the West India steamer Medway has been sold at 4s. 113 d. per oz. for dol lars, and sa. lid. per oz. standard for the bar silver. This latter price shows a reduction of id. compared with the last sales. These supplies appear to have I been almost entirely taken for the Continent, the Indian demand being less brisk.

Au extraordinary general meeting of the share headers of the Trost and Loan Company of Upper Canada was held yesterday, at the offices in Moor sate-street. The object of the meeting being to de. Blare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum e• the company's stock for the six months ending Sept. 30, no other business was transacted, but state ments were read to the meeting which evince a great and increasing prosperity in Canada, the popu lation having in the western section of the province doubled itself in the last ten years, during which period a vast increase of cultivated land has taken plane.

The chairman opened the tueincle of the meeting in a temperate statement of the distressed position in which Jamaica was placed, after which Mr. Girod co • eluded an elaborate . speech by : submitting aemew e i ,, lengthy but well.writtenmenional for th e cons id eration of the mee ti ng . The adoption of the memorial was strong.y edvoceted by Mr. Davidson, who ceps . ..sited the obligaton the meeting was under to Mr. Girod for the active and practical steps which he had adopted, and of which be highly approved. It was then proposed by Mr. Barret and seconded by Mr. Marshall, that Mr. Girod's memoriz.l be adopted, and after receiving the signatures of as miry Jamaica proprietors as could be obtai ne d, s h ou ld b e pre seated by a large deputation to the Earl of Derby, and that a committee be appointed to tale t:.• necessary i i,7l to carry out the ohjects in vi , w. Mr. Smith, while eeMially agreeing iii &warding to Mr. Girod the thanks that were due to him fur the able memo rial which he had submitted to the meeting, was of opinion that the time had arrived fur tine adoption of a mush stronger and more decided coune. He propos, d, therefore, that instead of asking further assistance from the govern ment, the House of Assembly at Jamaica should be urged to take a course in reference to their local supplies, the effect of which would force the government to eppean the colonists for assistance instead of the colonists applying to them ; he therefore proposed • resobriou to tee effect that the time had arrived when the Amina bly of Jamaica should refuse to levy any further taxes on the ruined inhabitants of that island until government the ..f thin country consented to afford them that relief to which they were justly entitled. This amen., ment, which was seconded by Mr. Most, led to a warm and energe in discussion, in the course of whi c h, a rely general approbation of this amendment, as an ulter.er mea sere, was expressed. Mr. Marshall, however, v e ry forcibly appealed to the meeting, and stated that although they might feel disappointed at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement, he had rem .0 to believe that toe government would shortly do somethi ng f or Jamaica, sc.l he •honglst it would be injudicious to take steps wh.ett might appear hostile, and which might probat'y hove tne effect of deterring the government from 'imposing acy measure of relief; they had had quite enough of Lord Grey's colonial administration, and he hoped that the Olifti. nal resolution might be canted. On a show of bends toe original resolution was carried, and the following ger.t.e. men appointed • mown, e, lleckford, Davidson, Mr. Watem Taylor, Mr. Barrett, Mr. have', Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Girod.
