On Saturday night Mdlle. Christine Nilsson achieved • fresh triumph by her performance (for the first time here) as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor. Ssarcely in any previous instance Lave this artist's gime of manner, exquisite voice, and finished style been more admirably or mole enooessfully displayed than on this occasion. The excellence of Mr. Bentley's singing as Enrico requires no fresh comment, the out being efficiently completed by Signor Foli's performance as Raimondo, and that of other characters by Mdlle. Corsi, Signori Agretti and Casaboni. CONCERTS. The number of miscellaneous musical entertain ments now taking place is almost without parallel in former seaaona• To notice all in detail would be as im possible as it is unnecessary, and we can therefore only refer to a few of the number. That clever pianist, Miss Agnes Zimmemiann, gas* her annual concert at the Hanover-square Rooms on Friday night, when she ex hibited her powers both as • player and • composer by her performances in Beethoven's Trio op. 70, No. 2 ; some transcriptions by herself from Beech's violoncello pieces ; • very clever and elaborate sonata, of her own com position, for piano and violin ; Schumann's solo pieces " Carnaval ;" and Chopin's Polonoise for piano and violoncello. Wile. Zimmermann possesses excellent qualities so a pianist—power and cer tsinty in execution, and much grace of style and expres sion. The concerted pieces were given with the valuable co-operation of Herr Leopold Auer (violin) and Signor Piatti (violoncello). Another accomplished young lady pianist, also skilled in composition, gave a concert on the mine evening. Miss Marian Bud., a pilil of Mr. \V. (t. Cnsins (conductor of the Philharmonic Concerts), has on several previous occasions evinced very high talent both AS A player and a composer, and on Friday night thews inalities were exemplified in a still greater degree by her performances of an elaborate solo sonata, a very clever and •ell written ron do for two piano fortes, and some smaller pie3es, all of her own composition. The graceful and tioished playin of this young lady elicited loud applause; the very characteristic ache:eve or her sonata being at once encored. Herr Straus and M. Paque were the violinist and violoncellist on this occasion, and Mr. Cosine assisted his pupil i i 1 er duet composition. That meritorious professor, Mr. Walter refacfarren, bate given two of his annual series of three pianoforte recitals, the second having taken time at tie Hanover-square Rooms on Saturday !naming. The selection comprised Mozart's solo sonata in A minor, three numbers from Pro. femor Bennett's " Suites de Pintas," Mendelsohn 's "Allegro Brillante " for two pianos (with Miss States), Beethoven's sonata in C minor for piano and violin (with Mr. H. Holmes), four " Romances " for piano and violir, three " Fantesiestucke " and a "Romance " by Schuman re, and three solo pieces of Mr. W. Macfarren's own cumpoai. tion. This gentleman's skill as • performer, and his ability as a teacher, are too well known to require fresh eulogy. DRAMA. PRINCESS'S. On Saturday night a lady, named Miss Kate Reignolds, who, if we arc to believe newspaper " notices" sent in advance, has made a great American reputation, appealed at the Princess's Theatre as Donna Violante, in the somewhat hackneyed play of TGe Wonder. The part is one that has been more used by amateurs than professionals during the last few years, and is adapted for;a really showy actress, or a lady who wishes to be showy ; and tte piece is one so full of " situation" and intrigue, that it thoroughly amuses an audience and carries even the weakest elebutank through in the principal character. Miss Reignolds has a good broad stage face, and a pleasant voice, but her artificial high comedy manner is the thinnest veneer that scarcely conceals her evident low comedy talent. She is English by birth and American by training, is self-pos sessed, and familiar with the tricks of ber craft, and may probably possess strong dramatic power. Another charac ter and piece will give us a clearer notion of her abilities. CRYSTAL PALACE. PLOWER SHOW. The directors of the Crystal Palace do not exag gerate when they term their great annual flower show one of the most prominent features of the London season. Anything more Arming than the ileiral display of Satur day last it would be impossible to Luis/rine. ?Ninon:4 satisfactory as have been previous shows of this character, to the one of Saturday must be awarded the highest place, not only for the extent and variety of the plants and flowers exhibited, but for the rare excellence of most of the specimens sent in for competition. The early spring I had a most beneficial effect upon the display this season, and some of the stove and green house plants and the azaleas and roses were the perfection of rural culture. The flowers were ar ranged on both sides of the nave, extending from the tro pical department at one end to the fountain at the other, and over this apace a pretty fight coloured awning had been erected. Where for the most part all the plants exhibited were so beautiful, the difficulty which the judges had to contend with in awarding the prizes was of no light cha racter. In spite of the high charge for admission, and the unpropitious state of the weather outdoors. the attendance was extremely large, and for several hours a continuous stream of ladies and gentlemen wended their way down one aide of the nave and up the othe►. By the admirable regulations which were laid down and enforced, there were few difficulties as regarded locomotion, and all the flowers could be seen without some of those difficulties and inconveniences which attend floral display■ held in leas commodious building!. In addition to the attrac tions of the show there were some musical selections in the Handel orchestra by the band and chorus of her Majesty's Opera, the Coldstream Guards band, and the musicians connected with the palate ; and the shades of evening were fast approaching before most of those who had been attracted to the show could be prevailed upon to quit the scene. The success of the exhibition was ucquestionable, and it speaks well for the increasing popularity of these gatherings. The collection of pictures and water-colour drawings formed by Mr. James Follows, deceosed, removed from his late residence Sunny Bonk, Loogsight, Manchester, was on Saturday last brought under the hammer of Messrs. Christie, Hanson, and Woods, at their rooms, in King street, St. James's. The beauty of this coll ection drew together an overwhelming audience, ard the prices realised were very high. The whole realised the large sum of X 2,1501. WEir: HTS AND MEASURES (METRIC SYSTEM) BILL—At a meeting of the Casten of the British branch of the International Decimal Association, Earl Forteacue, president, in the chair, the result of the recent discussion on the Weights and Measures (Mettle System) Bill, brought in by Mr. Swart, Mr. Barley, Mr. Baines, Mr. J. B. Smith, and Mr. Grave., was reported as quite in accordance with former decisions of the house. The second reading of the Compulsory Bill was carded in 1863 by 110 to 75,1 majority 35. The second reading of the Permissive Bill in 1864 was carried by 90 to 52, majority 38, and the second reading of the Compulsory Bill in 1861 was carried by 217 to 65 , . majority 152. Whereupon, on the motion of Sir J. Bowling, seconded bg Mr. Yates, it was resolved as follows :—" The council have seen with great satisfaction the affirmation of the principle of the introduction of the metric system in this country by the passing of Mr. Ewort's bill by so large a ma city of the House of Commons."

To-day's protwedings were chiefly remarkable for the knock ing about" which many of the Derby to were subjected to, the prices in come eases varying trey five minutes, and ex hibiting eccentricities In their fluctuation such as to baffle the most astute and experienced. To commence, however, with the favourite, it is beyond a question that she retained her position with unswerl be constancy. In the early part of the morning doe to 130 amid led to 1 0 were but subsequently the odds were reduced to 7.. to 40, at which rate numerous investments were made, and the total outlay on the mare's behalf reached close upon £l,OOO. Blue Gown was again in extraurdinary dn. mend, the moat conspicuous bets taken about him being MO to 2el , b O O to 200 twice, and 403 to 1. u three Muses. At this rate of udds several smaller transactions were also concluded. Paul Jones, after being backed at 1100 to 100, bad some good business done in his favour at 10 to 1, one commissioner putting on £l4OO at this figure, while lu other quarters "ponies" and tittles were Invested with some eagerness. The three horses thus enumerated monopolised not uuly the heaviest bit the most genuine specu lation. All the representatives of the secona rank, namely, Speculum, Suffolk, itosicrtician, Green Sleeve, Pace, and Orion, either hung tire or progressed badly. The last-named especially went up arid down Like a shuttlecock. At first the offers alpinist him were 11 to 1, speedily extending to 20 to 1. at which price he was supported for £l5O, subsequently 1000 is 40 will laid and offered, but betide the dime of busineu there were successive offers to accept 25 to 1, 20 to 1, and 100 to e, the concluding quo tations not exceeding 16 to 1. Thu Earl, on the supposition of his being • starter, found friends at 30 to 1 and 40 to 1, but afterwards 60 to 1 was laid to £100; at the finish, however, uo more than 40 to 1 was obtainable. Mercury wee supported for a good deal of tummy at 1000 to 60 and 40 to 1, while no. Rerun mud Forest King met with friends at 1000 to 2/1 and 1000 to 15 respectively.

BETTING AT THE WEST-END.—SnimAY. The aspect of Vle two favourites was materially changed by a lapse of 24 hours. Lady Elizabeth had far more layers than backers : and after 200 to 100 had been booked twice, offers of to 1 became general, one speculator offering 1000 to 500 on the field. Neither did Blue Goan go well, for after 4to 1 had been offered against hint, with bet no occasional response, 850 to 200 was offered. On the other hand, rand Jones had a very healthy look, finding many friends at 9to , 100 to 12, and Madly 8 to 1.

At 1000 to 00 and 100 to 0 Suffolk found many friends, but,theee odds continued to be offered to the close. Neither Green Sleeve nor Roalcracian wore to good odour, and against the last.nanzed the desire to lay was especially mauffeat. The other transactions were much the lame as before.

Loveolek swains have already transferred their affections for the nooses from Lady Mary Clementine to Lady NHL ibeth, whose name, doubtless. has by this time been mattered by many a dreamer in connectioa with • Blue Gown, or that naughty lady in Green Sleeve., in a manner to set the meet unsaspiciona et wives pondering. The sporting columns of the daily paper'. again, have been scanned by the most practical of men be fore • thought has been bestowed on the commercial or political intelligence ; and is would savour of vanity on my part to conjecture how eagerly the " prophets" have been and will be consulted. Even among the many who cling to the glories—save :Le mark !—of the road, and make more of a picnicking than a " sporting" day of it, the racing seers will drive a pretty good trade, though holiday folk are more anxious about the Old Moore's Meteorological observations than your humble servant's — not that the weatherwise would any more dare to prophecy • wet Derby than I should a dry one, as no one ever believes in such • national calamity. Should we get a little more rain before the eventful morning, and the day prove really flue after all, it will be quite a pattern Derby, more especially in comparison with lest year's, when the anew was not a welcome change from the proverbial dust, however novel the scene may have been. A continuance of the hot drought that trainers were so alarmed at up to Wednesday last would have reduced the strength of the field considerably, and there is no saying what might nut have happened to some of the cranks—not • very grand lot, as they stand now, the list of probable starters comprising a goodly propor tion of "rubbish," great as were the expectations of the race some time ago. Lately many " good things" hare gone to the wall, Rabican, Duces, Seesaw, Harvester, Betrayal, Chelsea, Suustioke, Bauditto, Franchise, the Tom Bowline oolt, Brother so titnifferd, La Sarrazin, and Typhoeus being as " dead " as are Athena, Michael de Basco, Marueluke, Glenderg, Samson, Herald, Innerdale, Tregeagle, Court Mantle, Ireumaster, Grant des Batailles, and others backed so freely at one time last season. With this batch all " gone " layers of odds must have pretty good books, unless they have taken liberties with Lady Elizabeth or Blue Gown, and are now compelled to get out at an alarming sacrifice. I have no doubt this - pair have been "peppered," as there appeared reagent remora for such a line of conduct about each at one time, a hedging Blue Gown commission being evi dently in the market in the winter, whilst her noble owner's affairs were, not long ago, deemed awkward enough to prevent Lady Elizabeth even starting. Had the resolu tion just proposed by the Jockey Club—to the effect that • defaulter cannot run horses at any meeting of importance— been made law when the bad settling days at Tattersall's first called for tho penalty, she would not have remained quite so firm as she has during the past two or three mouths, especially if the Marquis had still declined cowing to terms with his cre ditors, as he did until Thursday last. However, it is not my province here to discuss the painful matter that has kept the racing world in such a fever for the last few 1 days, particularly now that all parties concerned are satis fied, and that the lady's pretensions can be discussed with out any monetary considerations being brought to bear upon them. Your readers will be satisfied to know that the broken promise to pay 10,000/. down and another 10,000/. in six months has been " mended," and hews that the Marquis of Hastings will not be deprived of the plea sure of seeing his pet win, if she is capable of doing the trick. But before entering into the Derby, it is necessary to at least glance at Tuesday's pro gramme, which promises a great day's sport, MO/. being added to the six di ff erent stakes that will make up the card. The Craven (invariably a significant trial race) and • selling race have not yet closed, and the chief of the four events already before the public, the Woodcote, is not a very easy subject to take us band. This is the first six-furlong spin for 2-yrolds of any account, and will most certainly bring out some dark flyers to oppose the public horses, which cannot be called a brilliant lot when Alpenstock, Juanita, Antis', Flower Girl, Martyr, Elec tricity, the Hermione c, and the Rajah are the bust of them. I dare not boldly choose • champion from among these, and shall recommend that the representatives of Capt. Michell and Count F. de Lagrange be looked after, the former gentleman's Martyr having been backward when he ran second to Brigantine at New market, whilst the Frenchmen passes. a troublesome-look log customer in Boulogne. In the Heathcote Plate, half a mile, there are four of the fastest 3-yr-olds in training, viz., Athena, Grimston, honmaster, and Leonia, besides the Sister to Hermit and Fleetwing, and it may be other fleet 2-yr-olds. The elders cannot hope to beat this half ' dozen, the pick of which would be Lemuel without a doubt, I with her Sib advantage in the weighta, if she were in her i old form. This, however, she did not exhibit when meeting Blue Gown the other day, and I shall fall back upon Athena, who beat Grimston for speed in his best day. The Reserved Lawn 1 Handicap in not so much against Out-and-Outer, for all his 'Mt 21b, and Le will about win, unless Lord Derby should happen to run to the form he once showed at Brighton. The top-weirbt for the Roos Handicap, the Palmer, is also well in the hunt, albeit there is mettle more attrac tive in Grey Stocking and Historian (51b extra), who may have most to fear from Landscape being " wanted." Of the four minor events in the Derby day's Hat, the only two complete are the Bentinck and Epsom Town Plates, and these being dependent on the first day's results, I can at once dive into the Derby, which is expected to attractthe majority of the following to the poet.

The demand is still chiefly confined to good lustre 1.100:s, which command steady prices, while middling and inferior sorts. which are almost entirelyneglected, have a downward tendency. The inferior descriptions of wool especially have undergone a marked decline during the past month. Illokair has been is br.sk demand at improved rates.
