THE HANDEL COMMEMORATION. FULL DRESS REHEARSAL.-(THIS DAY.) The present year completes the century from the death of Headel, and the treat prouder@ to be merited in the national annals by • oommemoretnn worthy &bite of the un dying fame of the great composer, sad the amoical resources of th• people for whom he conorived sad oosapaad his sublime oratorios. It has been said of England's bud Hist there never wee but co. Seshal<•n; sad, with equal truth may it be affirmed of her no lee. inspired compeer, diet there was never but one Handel. Both sums lave becouic throughout the world familiar as household words, and the recurrence of the daqs of their birth sad death have MOT. than once been commemorated by dramatic and musical festivals. The presumed ciintenary of Handers birth, in 1784, was celebrated by a public perform ance of some of his works on a scale of unsurpseeed and unknown magnitude at the period. He wee bore, however, at Halle, in Lower flesomy, on the 23rd of Fehr/sexy, 1686, and died In Leaden, at hie rolidesce in l'fper Broek-street, on Good Friday, April 13, 1759. He came to Ragland at the age of 26, and made Loudon his horse, and he produced he. the greater portion of his numerous compositions. It was for England end the English language that be composed, and while hi* own good quehtise won him the e ,c. e ri o n of his contemporaries, his hapernhatile oratorios have endeared hiai to the heart* of all nodality. He was buried in the Poet's Corse? of Westminster Abbey, about 8 o'clock, on Friday eight, the Mt April, 1759. We tears from the introduction to the book-programme of the present commemoration that the celebralien of thepretuniedcentemary of hie birth, in 1784, comaieted pertly of a performance of some of his works in Westminster Abbey, when the orchestra numbered 625 persons, vis., sopranos, 69; alto. 48 ; tenors, 83, buses, 84; violin", 95; violas, 26; violoncellos, 21; contra-Damao, 15; flutes, 6; °into, 26; ,beseroons, 26; don. blo-b.eeooo, 1; tramper, 12; horns, 12; trombones, 6; and drams, 4. Another festival took pleas in the Abbey In 178 oririeii the performers are said to have amounted to 1,068; wh.le 1331 there was a reueiesl festival held in Wmtniinerer Abbey, at which about 600 perform( ra were employed. The eventually led to the eitablialiment of the Sacred Harmonic Society, under whom eapervieion the ex periment wee made in June, 1857, of holding • Great Handel Feetival " in the Central Transept of the Crystal Palace. The chorus then coneisted of 2,000 video and the bend of 386 inetrumenialists. A large organ eras erected expreeely for the occasion ; and, the whole experiment being conducted to a enevicreful Irene by the skill, energy, and ability of Mr. Costs, it was forthwith resolved that the ossMeary if the death of the greet com poser should be emareetnneated upon the same spot. Shier then • committee of the Booed Harmonic Society have been exercising every possible care to select and secure properly qualified persona to media in the performance, and today the result of their labours was put to the test of a grand preliminary reheareel. An enlarged end improved orchestra has been erected, measuring is width 216 feet, or twice the diameter of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral; end in death 100 feet, with the bark and aides completely incloesd and covered in so as to direct the mend towards the sadistice and prevent its diapersinn. Most of the important cities and tierce, sad many of the village. of England sod as well as those o Southend and Ireland, have ben called on to contri bute their quota to the choir. The cathedral choirs and the principal choral societies have sent their members and performere here even from the Continent to tender assiateaos. The chorus embraces 2,538 voice., viz., 617 •opranea, 718 alb* (206 female.), 617 tenors, and 665 berme. The hind numbers no lees than 468 inetru mentalista, thus distributed —7 euperintendentio 92 first violin., 90 second violin., 61 viola, 60 violoncellos, 61 double buses, 10 flutes, 10 oboes, 10 elerioutits, 10 baseorsis, 6 unwept)* 6 corsets, 12 horns, 9 trombones, 3 ophickiles, 2 bombardone, 8 serpents, 3 double drums, I bass drum, and 6 side drum.. Mr. Costa is the conductor; Mr. Brown smith the organiet; sod the principal vocal pertirusere include the name. of Madame Clem Novella, Madame Huderedorff, Medium Lameness Sherrington, Miss Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeve*, Mr. Weise, and Signor Belletti. • This morning several people were on their wey to the Crystal Palace ate. early hoar, while half the rnetropolie at least was still in bed. The weather was 'acerb, the sur rounding suburbs were decked oat is all the epleedoor of leafy June, and the pethwaya were lined with count lege 'peva tort At the Pimlico ant London-bridge stations the crudt is literally overwhelming. How the trains were marshalled end 6sepstelsed tram eight o'clock till as late se zoom, was something incomprehensible.

The only drawback to the comfort of the great traueept was the duet. Excepting the removal of this ennoyaoce, t here was little to be desired. 137 11 o'clock the scene was highly picturesque and enjoy &Lie.

THR EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1859. SHARE L1825.-THM DA). TWO o'CLOCIB. The railway share market to-day is stagnant. Business is singularly limited.

Complete stagnation prevails to-tiay in the Stock Exchange. The attendance of members is unusually small, and business in most departments is almost at &standstill. Tne alteration in prices is in all instant*. trifling. Consols are gaoled about 1-16 per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. Indian railway shares are rather more offered. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 821 r. 3k. ex div., for the account, and thence recovered to 821 r. 413.0. The latter price shows a decline of 6c. since yesterday afternoon. Consols are officially marked 92/ and 921, ex div., for the Bth July, and are now quotei 92 11.16 to 13-18, or 92g. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 219; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 93k Ito ; the New Three per Cents., at 031 to 1; the Indian Four per Ceat. Debentures of last year, at 96; the Scrip of the New Indian Loan, at 931 to 1; India Bonds, at 21. du.; and Ex chequer Bills, at 23e. to 275. prem. The foreign stock market is likewise very quiet. The Old Turkish Loan shows a fresh reduction of about 1 per neat., being quoted 751 to 761. The loan of last year, on the other hand, after being marked 611, hike advanced to 621 to 631. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are inquired for, and other foreign stocks inanimate. Sales are recorded as follows: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., for account, 101 ; ditto Foneend•a- Half per Cents., 1858, 91/ ; Mexican Three per Cents., 181 ; ditto for amount, 184, 181; New Granada Deferred Bonds, 61; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 96; Sardinian Five per Cents., 81; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, 751, 76 ; ditto, for account (June 30), 761, 761; ditto Six per Cents. (1858), 62 ; ditto for account, 611, 63. We are enabled to state that the payments on mount of the Indian Loan of 5,047,000:. amounted, up to Thursday afternoon, to 3,538,0001. The amount of the scrip already paid up in issU is a few thousand ponndsbeyond 2,000,0001. Consequently, the „ - two final instalments, each of 25 per cent, and fixed, respectively, for the 19th prox. and 18th August, will will apply to the reduced capital of 3,018,0001. The existing liability of the market on this score is thus limited to a million and a half sterling, civided into two instalments. The magnitude of the payments in advance says a good deal for the bona julee of the subscription list. It is hoped that the preparation of the debentures will be completed as rapidly u pos sible, for, owing to a recent and much canvassed decision of the Committee of the Stock Exchange. holders of the scrip who have paid up in full, and who may wish to realise a portion of their holding, labour under the disadvantage of receiving from the buyer no interest whatever in respect of the sums paid in advance. When the debentures ahall have been delivered, the seller will be enabled to claim interest up to the day of sale, according to the recognised practice in dealing in bonds, debentures, and Exchequer Bills. To all intents, however, the paid-up scrip of this loan is the same as debentures, since merely a form has to be gone through to convert the one into the other. A telegram from Amsterdam, dated the middle of yesterday, announces a fresh fall of 1 per cent. in Austrian stock, the new confiscatory decree still operating. Spanish stocks had also fallen 3 per cent. _ . . . The 60,0001. in Russian gold which arrived on Wednesday has been sold for the Continent. The 630,5001. in specie, ex the steamer La Plata, reached the Waterloo railway station yesterday, and was conveyed thence in fifteen waggons to the Bank of England, where it will remain until Wed• needsy or Thursday next, undergoing assortment previous to being placed in the hands of the bullion brokers. At least 461,0001. in Australian gold is now due or overdue. The Monarch, with 171,4001., has been at sea 108 days; the Chili, with 61,1001., 100 days; the Essex, with 66,1001.,97 days; the Indian Queen, with 10,0 001., 97 days; the Owen Glendower, with 141,6001., 94 days; the Annie Wilson, with 21,3001., 93 days; the Shalimar, with 97,6001., 84 days; the Niniroud, with 21,0001., 83 days ; the Suffolk, with 191,7001., 80 days; the Result, with 145,6001., 72 days ; and the Ocean Chief, with 40,8001., 69 days. The exact amount of specie shipped for the East by the steamer Colombo, which will leave on Mon day, is 282,3061., of which 4,0141. is gold and the rest silver. The whole is on private eccoont. Annexed are the particulars :—For Calcutta, 108,7601.; Hong Hong, 101,6721.; Shanghai, 36,8701.; Madras, 28,2141.; Singapore, 6,6001.; Ceylon, 1,2001. Owing to the large supply of silver by the West India packet the quotation has declined ed., viz., to 62d. per ounce standard. At this price buyers foe the Continent will doubt:ess come forward. Bills on the Continent were in fair demand yes terday, and the tendency of the rates was not fee Tearable, but there was no alteration worth noticing. Paper on St. Petersburg was less inquired for. The rates are shown below : Amsterdam, three months, 11.16 to 1; ditto short, 11.12 to 13; Rotterdam, three monms, 11.15 to I; Antwerp, three months, 26.14 to 171; Rambmg, mane banes, three months. 13.3 f to 43, Paris, three daysdght, 16.6 to 10; ditto, three months, 26.30 to 6 ; -on. tits-Mains, three months, nal to 116; Petersburg, per rout.* three month', 321 sso 331; Vienna, of do.. three months, 14.60 to 14.80 • Trieste, ditto. three months, 14.90 to 14.80 ; Madrid, tine meths, 49 to Csdts, three months, 49 1 to 1 ; Leghorn, three month., 29.86 to al 96 ; Germs, three months, 25.76 to 80; Naples, three mouths, 401 to I; Palermo. three months, 121 to ; Merains, three meths, 1211 to 122; Lisbon, 90 dap, 511 to I ; Oporto. 90 days, 611 to 62. The report of the Liverpool cotton market for the week indicates firmness, and an advance of id. in " fair" qualities. We understand that it is proposed shortly to hold a meeting of creditors of Meters. Calvert and Co., the great brewers, whose affairs have of late attracted so much attention. There is a suggestion that the business may be carried on advantageously by means of a joint-stock company, in which the creditors would take part. The traffic on the Trieste line of the Lombardo- Venetian Railway Compan y , for the week ending the 10th inst., was 42,9941., being 19,8731. more than in the corresponding week of last year ; and that on the Lombardo-Venetian line 10,7311., showing an increase of 2,381/. In the previous week, the in crease in the latter was 4,8931. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,0071. The annual meeting of the Dutch Rhenish Rail way Company is called for the 30th inst., at Amsterdam. An extraordinary general meeting of the British Nation Life Assurance Association is called fur the 23th inst., " for the purpose of enabling the directors to discontinue and sell the branch of business of the association known as the General Accident and Compensation Department and the Plate Glass In surance Department." The half-yearly interest, amounting to 3 per cent., is advertised as payable on the Ist July, in due course, on Victor-Emmanuel Railway Bonds. The half-yearly interest is advertised on the abuse of the Ceylon Railway Company. The London agent of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company announces in a circular, issued this day, that the payment of the coupons on the debentures is again deft rred. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, hoe 16, compared with the pre vious weekly return, shows the following results : Circulation Mese Circulation active 20,524,2t5 Demme 610,130 Püblicdeposita Otltr deposits Government eseuritim in bankingdepartment 11,281,376 No change Ma securities 11: Waking 44partuient 18,712,469 Drams. 337,40 CA?I,2 end bulllan 1a both - - 4departatosts limn day and other Ws 199,224 lemma 2111,7119 Rost R TM oles In mem .

Considoe log the large decrease in the active circulation the ease of the money market "out of doors' is worthy of notice. The variation in the bullion ix unimportant. The enormous increase in the Trea sury balance is partly occasioned by the payment in the Indian Loan on Tuesday. 'The fintirk and Indian government balances are now lumped imam one head—an arrangement which affords a practicall commentary upon the view expressed by some deer statesmen that there cannot, under any circumstance/1, be any connexion between the two financial depart ments.
