The first Bower show of the year, the " great " one in Crystal Palace classification, attracted a numerous and fashionable audience to Sydeuhem on Saturday. In other summers we should not have been particularly en thusiastic in praise of the weather, but the experience of the last few weeks makes us thankful for small mercies, and justifies us in calling a day upon which there was neither sleet, nor snow, nor hail, nor blinding rain, an ex ceedingly auspicious one for the great dower show. The air outside, it is true, was chill, but the flowers and the spectators inside did not feel it. The former were quite at home in the longest conservatory in she world, and the palace authorities had taken oars that the latter should be made as comfortable as possible. The arrangement of the awnings had been entirely remodelled, the top being made fist, and the sides coining down so as to tone down the light, and make a suitable background for the flowers, which, in consequence of this excellent arrangement, perhaps never looked more lovely. They were all of course exotics, and tenderly reared greenhouse plants; and although not quite so numerous as on former occasions, were of very superior quality. The "stove and greenhouse " family, whether exhibited by amateurs or professionals, were pronounced to be the best that had ever been men at the Crystal Palace—unsurpamsble we should call them, but that experience teaches us what our English nursery. men can do, and that each great success only stimulates them to further exertions. Crowds gathered all day round Mr. Bull's " Pitcher plant" and Mr. Wylie's " /Witten& magnifica," both entire novelties, and the latter the most graceful plant in form and the most delicate in colour that ever came under our notice at a flower show. If there be a successor of Cellini or a rival of Froinent Mewrioe, who writes for a design for an epergne or "testimonial," let him sit down before the Medinella magnifica, take a drawing, and, if he can, reproduce it in gold, or silver, or electroplate. The heaths were also splendid, and the wonderful foliage of some of the specimens much admired. The large clam of plants which come under the general head of " exotic orehids " was rather weakly represented, but this was the only weak place in the show. The strife between Paul, of Cheshunt, and Turner, of Slough, as to who shall produce the most beautiful roses, excited the usual interest amongst the public, and none but the in itiated dared to say which:was the best. The pelargoniums also were magnificent, and the azaleas gave a glow to the whole interior, with their abundant wealth of colour. On the whole the show was a complete success—the most beautiful plants and flowers in the world, the best possible place to see them in, and such a temperature, preserved by artificial means, as justified the gay and airy toilettes of the ladies, made us forget that this was " the merry month of May" according to the mode of the year 1867. TIM BISHOP or LONDON'S FUND.—Yesterday in most of the churches and chapels of the diocese of London a pastoral letter was read from the bishop, and collections made in behalf of the fund which bears his name. At St. James's, Pioeadilly,there was an immense congregation, there being present the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Powis, Viscount Sydney, Lord Egerton of Tattoo, the Bis ho p of London, the Bishop of Winchester, and a large number of the nobility. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. T. L Claughton, bishop elect of Roches ter, who selected for his text the 3rd chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to Titus, verges 4to S. He drew an alarming picture of the spiritual destitution of many parts of London, and ear nestly commended the plan for meeting it which the Bishop of London has proposed. It appears that the actual sum paid in money to the fund amounts up to the present time to 200,0001., the sum paid and promised being 300,0001. ' These contributions had been met by grants from the ecclesiastical commissioners to the extent of 500,0001., while private individuals, by their exertions in the various parishes, had raised a sum of 850,0001. to meet the same objects. By means of the money directly subscribed to the fund 115 clergy and 64 lay assistants had been added to the staff of the diocese. Grants bad been made for .57 permanent churches and for 71 sites for churches, parsonage., do., while a sum of 25,668/. had been voted for educational purposes. In order to secure one clergymen for every 2,000 of the population twice as many clergy would be required as had been secured, with a proportionate number of churches and schools. At Westminster Abbey the sermon on behalf of the fund was preached by the Bishop of Oxford ,• at Christ Church, Marylebone, by the Rev. Charles Kingsley, M.A., of Cambridge ; at Kensington, by Archdeacon Sinclair • at Homey, by the Dean of Ely. In most of the church.; the matter was taken up with much spirit, and through the collections of the day a oonsiderable addition will be made to the available balance of the fund. _ CRYSTAL PALACE.

She landed all the mails, consisting of 124 sacks, and also 42 passengers, and proceeded immediately for Liverpool. All well. NEW YORK, MAY 15, MORKI2IO. Mr. Davis arrived at Richmond on Saturday afternoon. He was taken to Spotteswood Hotel, where he was visited by numbers of.friends on Saturday evening and Sunday. On Monday morning General Burton pro— duced Mr. Davis at the Circuit Court before Judge Underwood. District Attorney Chandler announced that the government did not intend to prosecute his trial at the present term court. Counsel then, on behalf of Mr. Davis, asked that in view of the long imprisonment arid delicate health of the prisoner, he be admitted to bail. The counsel for the government not opposing, Judge Underwood fixed the bail at 100,000 dole, , half of which to be furnished by residents in Virginia. The bail bond, which requires Mr. Davis to appear before the court on the 25th of November neat, was signed by Mr. Horace Greeley, Mr. Augustus Schell General Jackman, and ten others. Mr. Davis was then discharged from custody, and was vociferously cheered in court and on his way back to the hotel A number of negroes shook hands with him. In the evening Mr. Davis and his wife embarked on board • steamer for New York en route to visit his children at school in Canada. The Supreme Court has dismissed the Georgia Injunc tion case for want of jurisdiction. The Missiuippi peti tion is still under advisement, having been so amended as to represent the State funds of Arkansas to be in danger through the action of General Ord. It is believed that the amendment brings the case within the jurisdiction of the court. Some negroes at Richmond on Saturday rescued a drunken negro prisoner from the police. Four of the latter were badly beaten. A oompany of national troops finally dispersed the rioters and arrested eighteen of them. General Schofield has disbanded a company of negro cavalry. and prohibited their future drill. Mr. ICelley, a member of Congress, while addressing • meeting at Mobile last evening, was mobbed, and nar rowly escaped death from pistol - shot.. The meeting was broken up. Several persons were shot, and three are reported to have been killed. The pollee quelled the riot, and • force of national troops subsequently guarded the streets. The accounts of the origin of the not are con flicting, some of them asserting that it was preconcerted by rebels. Another account dates that Mr. Kelley used incendiary language, and defied the crowd, and that the majority of the 'hots were fired by negroes, most of whom present were armed. The report of the murder of two Union soldiers at Edg field, South Carolina, proves to have been false. A radical meeting held at Brownsville, Tennessee, on Monday last, was dispersed by the mob. Five persons were shot. The negroos at New Orleans, after attending an ovation to Congressman Kelley, took possession of a street car, driving out the white occupants. It is reported that the Canadian government has received information of an intended Fenian raid. _ The iron ram Dunderberg hu been sold to the French government by the builder, for 3,000,000 dole.

The arrival of Souloaque was anxiously and daily looked for. Salnave had ordered Chevalier to keep himself in confinement. Nissage Sajet was also in retireuient in some obscure place in the city. All was quiet, awaiting the further action of Salnave's dictatorship. THE CONDEMNED PENIANS. DEPUTATION TO THE EARL OF DERBY. On Saturday an influential deputation of mem bers of parliament waited upon the Earl of Derby at his residence in St. James's-square for the purpose of implor ing her Majesty's government to recommend the crown that the lives of the Fenian convicts, Burke and ll'Orifferty, now under sentence of death in Dublin, might be spared. Among the deputationists were:—Sir George Bowyer Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Otway, Mr. &ander son, Mr. Kuiniirti, Mr. Scholefield, Major O'Reilly, Mr. Potter, Professor Fawcett, Mr. Cowan, Mr. Terrell., Mr. J. F. Maguire, Mr. Esmonde, Mr. J. A. Blake, Mr. O'Beirne, Mr. Gilpin, The O'Donoghue, Sir John Grey, Sir P. O'Brien, Serjeant Armstrong, H. D. Seymour, Mr. Oliphant, Mr. Graham, Mr. Neat., Mr. Kennedy, Mr. White, Mr. Moore, Mr. Young, Mr. Bearden. The O'Conor Don, Mr. WEvoy, Mr. Stansfeld. Mr. De La Peer, Dr. Brady, Mr. Synan, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Lefevre, Mr. Candlish, Mr. Lechmere, Mr. Dodson, Mr. Dslgliah, Mr. Eykyn, Mr. More O'Farrell, Mr. Wyld, Mr. Henry Beaumont, Mr. Trevelyan, Mr. Moore, Mr. Holden, Mr. Henderson, M r . W. H. C ogan , C a pt a i n Sud ley, and Mr. Charles Forster. Mr. Dl`Sweeney, ex-Lord Mayor of Dublin, was also present. Sir G. Boy/Yea, M.P., who headed the deputation, ad mitted that the life of Burke was justly forfeited, but urged that his execution was sure to produce a disastrous effect, not only in Ireland, but in England and America. Mr. J. 8. MILL—We have come here, my lord, without distinction of party. 4Hear, hear.) We come here with as deep and earnest a feeling as it is possible for a human being to have, to implore your lordship not to erect the scaffold for political offences. It is not for the sake of these unfortunate men we say it. Heaven knows, the punishment of failure is as painful as almost any punish-' meat. The punishment to which, at all events, they would subject themselves for their lives is quite sufficient to vindicate the law and deter persons—as we all admit they ought to be deterred—from attempting a revolution when there isnot& feeling in the country which enables them to succeed. My lord, we most sincerely apprehend that the fact of executing these men will make them heroes and martyrs. You must remember that the cause of Irish nationality has not yet had its martyrs. Irish wrongs have had martyrs long since • but that has been put an end to so far as we are concerned. Robert Emmet and Lord Edward Fitzgerald were not martyrs to Irish nationality. But if you execute these unhappy men now, you will give a sanctity to their cause which will be most deplorable for Ireland and for this country. We ought also think a little as to what will be thought in foreign countries. We know what the feeling of foreign countries is as to nationality. They do not know the actual state of Ireland. They do not know what a sincere desire we have to make Ireland prosperous, and give her no cause to regret her union with us. They only know there is an oppressed nationality, which is ruled by another nationality, as they think, by force. I think that state of things can only be remedied when a country can be induced to forget, as Scotland has forgotten, what is past. It would be the moat fatal thing in the world to put these men to death. The punishment of death, God knows, is not the most severe punishment, but a punish ment which excites most sympathy. If these men are executed they will be dearly remembered, their memory held sacred, and their example bring hundreds of War fellow-countrymen to their ruin. (Hear, hear.l After hearing several other members of the deputation, The Earl of DERBY said—Gentlemen, you must be aware that nothing can be more painful to me than to have to discuss upon this occasion such a question as that brought before me by a deputation so influential as I have now the honour to address. And it is the more painful because it is impossible for me to constitute myself the advocate of one side, when on the other there has been such able and eloquent advocacy. What I have to say is not said in my own personal character, but as a member of the government who have carefully considered the case that you have brought before me. However, in the first place, allow me to state that, when those who have addressed me spoke of " those unfortunate men," there is at the nt moment under consideration the case of one indi • ual only. No other case has been brought under the consideration of the government, of those condemned to oapit►l punishment, none except those of Burke and Doran. As to Doran, on the recommendation of the jury to mercy in his case there was no hesitation on the part of the govern ment in commuting his sentence. The only other case with regard to which you are competent to say anything is the case of Burke alone, because none of the other cases of capital conviction have been brought under the con sideration of the executive. Now, gentlemen, lam very glad there hos been a general disclaimer on the part of those I have the honour to address as to making this a political question—(hear, bear)—and I am sure it was through inadvertence that my friend Sir George Bowyer did mix it up with a question of political support to the government. (Hear, beer.) I may be permitted to say that no such idea ever entered our minds, nor did the difference of religion, as hinted at in the reference to Mr. Smith O'Brien, ever exercise any influence over our minds. But I may also be permitted to say that Ido not think that this question ts at all analogous to the civil war in America. It is said that since the termination of the war there has been no single instance of capital punishment being inflicted for political offences ; but you must recollect the circumstances of that war—that there was a continent divided against itself—that there were millions of men in the South arrayed against millions of men in the North ; and if, on the one aide or the ether. in that fierce contest • .righieLiSiennied to inflict the highest penalty of the law it would have altered altogether the character of that civil war, and might and assuredly would have produced • fe arful retaliation. I say this, then, for the purpowenf showing you that the circumstances of the attempt at revolt in Ireland and the circumstances of the Aineiican civil war are not in the slightest degree analogous. Now it is my painful duty to be obliged to say, with regard to the individual case of the convict Burke, that it has been taken into the most serious and anxious oonaiderstion of the government, and we did not decide upon the course we determined to pursue without weigh ing all the eircumstanom of the case. You must forgive me for reminding you that although it is Dim natural that every man should desire to raise his voice on the side of mercy, the members of the government, and yet others more than we, felt strongly the necessity there was for making some example in the case of this most unprovoked and atrocious attempt at revolt. And we felt that the loyal inhabitants of Ireland would not consider that the government were in earnest unless they, in this most gross —the grossest case—inflicted the extreme punishment of the law. I don't wish to be considered as arguing the case, I wish to impress on you that the decision of the government has not been mune to without, as I said before, the most serious and anxious osnaideration. We have weighed the subject well ; we have discussed it in the cabinet in presence of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and in presence of the Chief Secretary of Ire land,l and on the authority of the Lord Chan cellor, and on the report of the judges, including the Lord Chief Justice, who tried the case, we have' endeavoured to ascertain whether there was any mitigat ing circumstance which the government could fairly take into consideration, and, with the tingle exception that by the interposition of Providence no blood was shed, we could find nothing that should keep Burke from suffering the extreme penalty of the law. Nothing could have pre vented the effusion of blood of the occasion except the extreme cowardice of the party, who fired a volley on the soldiers at 700 yards distance, which therefore did no harm, and who, when they saw the soldiers advance, ran away, Burke being captured in a ditch when =dee- Touring to make his escape. I feel all this diffi culty at the present time, because I don't want to argue the case against this unhappy man, for I and the other members of the government agree that if we were justified in sparing the life of this unhappy man, nothing could have given us greater satisfaction than to extend that clemency to him ; but it was She decided opinion of her Majesty's government, after the fullest examination of the whole circumstances, that there would be a very Serious risk of its being thought they were guilty of dereliction of duty if they failed to visit the severest punishment—whatever may have been his motive —on one who, having no direct interest in the matter, induced a number of unhappy dupes in Ireland to join in that which might have led to serious con sequences, and who, without any sufficient motive, has been guilty of the greatest and most serious offence known to the law. Gentlemen, we came to that deci sion with the deepest and sincerest regret ; tied all lean say is, that after listening to the eloquent advocacy of inerey, if yen will dyn your name to any repressals- Sion which can be ionic ogsiially to her Majesty's govern ment, u the cabinet meets• at half-past three, to-day— (cheers)—l will bring it eiftutisaly, if you wish at that hoar before my colleagues. Bat I must tell you fairly, the question was fully and deliberately considered, and we did not come to the decision at which we arrived without the most anzioa. consideration. I don't spedk personally, for I only look upon myself as the mouth piece of the cabinet ; but I min't say that your repre sentations will make any alteration in the new of the government. At the same time, I shall have great plea sure in bringing any recommendation you make and sign before my colleagues, if you bring it to me before half post three. The deputation, having thanked the noble Premier for his attention and courtesy, withdrew. They reassembled in Lord Derby's reception-mom, when the following docu meet was signed by all the members who were present at tht interview, and entrusted to Sir George Bowyer and Sir John Gray, who undertook to pi oceed with it to Downing-street :—" We, the undersigned members of the Horns of Commons, very respectfully beg to express the hope that the extreme sentence of capital punishment in the cue of the convict Berke may be commuted." By fear rielock the plea for mercy was in the hands of the rsemitz. DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGINT. Prayers fee the happy death of Burke were offered up in elf the catholic churches here to-day.

An influential meeting was held bare to-day to petition for mercy on behalf of Berke. The petition was moved by Mr. Murphy, M.P., and a strong feeling was manifested in his basour. The Freetown: Journal of Saturday states that it has been officially communicated to the convict Burke that in his case the law must take its course. The unfor tunate man bore the announcement with the peatest equanimity, and expressed himself perfectly res ign ed to his fate. Thee has been no change in his demeanour or habits since our last report. He rises at the usual boar, eats his meals heartily seems in no way discomposed, and employs his time :Irliacipally in devotional exercises. Since the decision o the executive has been made known two Sisters of Mercy have been in attendance upon him, and the Rev. Mr. Kennedy, Roman catholic chaplain to the prison, is constant in his ministrations. As soon as the sheriff received the official intimation that the sentence would be carried out, except in respect of the details alluded to by the Lord Lieutenant in his reply to the depu tation on Friday, preparations for the execußoa were com menced within the gaoL Drama. THE NEW ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. A new and elegant circus and theatre, which has been less talked about during its erection than any similar enterprise, was opened on Saturday night with the moat perfect success. It stands near Red Lion-street, on the site of a horse repository—a commercial failure that at one time was nearly being converted into the New Holborn Theatre. The architects. Messrs. Smith and Son, of Bloomsbury-square, have succeeded, at a very moderate coat, in raising a well-ventilated, cheerful building, admirably adapted for the purposes to which it will be applied. The ground plan is oval, one end, a length of about thirty feet, being cut off for a small stage. The circus is in the exact centre of the house, and the seats rise round it in such a way that all persons can obtain a full view of the performances. The ground floor is arranged as • pit ; the dress circle tier, immediately above it, is divided into a balcony backed by a circle of private boxes, a copy, to some extent, of the Adelphi Theatre, and above this is the gallery er amphitheatre. The Royal box is midway la the *ale of beam, ilkady hails iftwelimaud wellh a btflatirairvAraw • . drawing room. The deeorations are light and agreeable, French green being a prominent colour, and the lighting, which is ample, is furnished by a central gaselier and sun light. The two weak architectural points in the building are the lowness of the ceiling and the narrowness of the lobbies; but the width of the house and the cheerfulness of the decorations destroy any feeling of heaviness in the interior. London has been so long without a place where eques trian entertainments are regularly provided, that the present enterprise has the *harm of novelty to recommend it. Cremorne maintains • circus, but Cremorne, strictly speaking, is in the country, and the tournaments as the Agricultural-hall are temporary and uncertain. This new amphitheatre, if properly managed, ought to supply • distinct form of amusement th►t always has been popular, and probably always will be. It will be some years before the New Hall of Arts and Sciences, promoted by the South Ken sington Chevalier' of Industry, and planted by the Queen the other day, will be ready to compete with such an es tablishment, and Holborn, for many years, will remain far more central than extreme Brompton. The new Amphi theatre, unless we are much mistaken, has an excellent manager in the person of Mr. Thomas lleCollurn, who 15 years ago was one of the most graceful and daring gymnastic riders in Europe. The entertainment provided for the opening night was excellent of its kind, with two exceptions. The band—an important feature in a circus —is rather week, sad the dramatic part of the perform ance, not particularly strong in itself, is introduced in the wrong place—at the end instead of in the middle of the programme. The acrobat. and riders, the hoses and I I clowns, are all good, some of them having peculiar merit. The fiipflap and summersault throwing of the Delevasti family could hardly be surpassed, even by the Arabs ; Messrs. IL A. Bradbury and Gerard are equally good se bare-backed and trick riders ; a horse called Zamor, eche bited by Mr. Fillis, is a wonderful result of training. and two well-knows clowns, named Daniels, exhibit real humour and musical talent. The ring business is managed briskly, though one or two of the clowns might be ordered to condense what Ducrow used to call their " dialer" with advantage. The concluding dramatic sketch is sailed Grin Griffis Hotel, and is the joint production of Pro freer Pepper and Mr. Oxesford. It is supported by • useful dramatic company, which includes Mr. S. J. Sheri dan (from Liverpool), Ur. K. Lynn, Mr. James Francis, and Miss S. Turner. The house, which holds &bent two thousand persons, was well filed, and all the entertain ' meats were received with genuine applause. Mae prices of admission are within the reach of all classes,. sad evesy. disposition has bees shows by the renegers to.gsovide for the comfort and amusement of mined audiences.

The merits of hunters and stallions having been adjudicated upon and rewarded on Satur day, the cover and park hacks, ladies' horses, cobs, and ponies were successively intro duced into the ring, and underwent the scrutiny of judges and spectators. To the gene ral public this was, no doubt, the must inte resting portion of the judging, because it was that in which they felt themselves most competent to take part. There are many persons who are modest enough to admit that they may be deceived as to the points of a stallion or the capacities of a hunter, but only a most degenenite Englishman w an ili d c vill emi net th" main kili tain opini his on ju ali dgm th e a nt e''b of a il W ha t C r lc th , i p eu ro! vided he is not called upon to prove it by purchase ' against that of a ny ot h er individual.

Mr. W. Banks's Beauty, selieenut, the winner of the first prize in one dams of park hacks and ladies horses ; and Pinwire, the property of Mr. W. H. Gaunt, who was first in a similar class of homes not to exceed 144 hands. The ponies were neither - - numerous nor very geed ; but the winners s' of the first and emend prizes, Uncle Tom, a brown pony under 12 h an d s , ex hibi te d by Mr. J. W. Richardson, farmer Willough- . ton, Lincolnshire, and Billy, a dark chesnut, 11 hands 3 inches belonging to Mr. W. H. Stone, ; M. P., were well shaped and of good action. One little. • fellow there was not much bigger than a Newfound- land dog,with a long thick mane, and a crest which-- hung far down his forehead, ihat excited much .. amusement by his persevering endeavours to dis lodge a small boy who was riding him, and who, ~ though without a saddle, stuck t o hi s p igmy s t ee d like a monkey. To the disgust of most of the e ' ladies this " little darling . was poised over by the • judges without even a commendation. While these.J. , classes were being judged the ring presented a very animated appearance. The horses were ridden by .7 their owners or grooms, and as some of the classes were pretty numerous the arena seemed quite crowded as the horses dashed hither and thither, or followed one another round sad round in a rapid trot or steady canter. Generally, how- t ever, after they had made two or three circuits, a large proportion of the animals, wham defects. s i had at once been made manifest to the critical . eyes of the judges, were ejectnit- . w7 .. . =,.. and the Wellman ielechoh 'lnk i irso d honi aboratyagg..i, ' illiems. ' Several lady equ al - tans made their appearance.: in the arena as the riders of competing. horses, but it unfortunately happened that their. • mounts were always among the least worthy, and with an apparent want of gallantry which did not escape comment from some of the fair occupants of boxes or reserved seats the judges speedily hurried them from the ring Only in one instance did a. horse ridden by a lady attract more than a no- ~ ment's notice front the distributors of equestrian honours. The judges continued their labours until about 5 o'clock, having disposed of all but the three classes of harness horses and ponies. As sees as they had left the ring the hurdles were refixed, and a number of bunters were. ridden into the arena for a little practice at these imitation fences. This performance is always one of the great attrac- ,- hone at the Islington horse show. The number of spectators had been steadily increasing during the whole afternoon, and the emotion of the first hurdle was greeted with almost a.shout of satisfac- -I tion by the large crowd that at time surxeunded.... the ring. The same difficulty eneed, in the morning had now to be contended with, though in a less degree. Of the dozen or so. of horses that, were ridden at them not one took the tenon at the. first trial • and several requiredgreat perseverance. and no s mall exercise of torce-on the part of their riders to get them over. Only me home jumped in such a style, at once quiet and elective, as to. merit the description of a perfect hunter. Of the others some were very apt to strike the top of the hurdles, while others went at them with.* wild sort of rush,and leaped both I eglimand further than was at all mosssary to cleat them. The. refumaleor mishaps of the various horses, were received by the public with unbounded erviessions of. amusement and dalight, while hearty a.iplause was bestowed pluck y k th a e nd o sk ve ili nmo r• d i t u h t r iL der :fe , hoes i urh o o , the apl an ro d k : thwnehpoui: horses hard sad prcieugeil aiding, avenues their repugnance to , face the . handler. °sly 'ma lady, Mies Beverley , she had a eFat deal of troke ~ erley, appeared e mthisimitatio u ia bun ti ng fold, the horse whack she rode.
