CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been very quiet, the intervention of the Whitsun holidays having delayed to some extent the public sales. Most of the leading articles have exhibited a alight downward tendency in prices. Tea has been very quiet, without the slightest change to notice in value. Sugar has declined about G per cwt., al though good qualities maintain their previous values. For coffee there has been a steady inquiry, and fine coloury qualities of plantation Ceylon have realised full rates. In rum very few dealings have been reported ; and rice is flat, the transac tions entered into comprising a few lots for home consumption at about previous rates. Saltpetre sea -4855 full values, and holders are very firm. For Indigo there has been some inquiry, at about last sales' rates ; and the public auctions of colonial Wool have proceeded with rather more animation, fine qualities of Sydney wools being in increased demand at a slight improvement in prices. Tallow continues firm. P.Y.C., on the spot, is 535. 9d. ; July to September, 51s. Gd.; and last three months, 51 8. to 51s. 3d. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices of all descriptions were the same as on Friday last. In the Railway Share Market business was dull, and quotations were rather lower. It was asserted in the American advices received Yesterday that orders were being sent to England and France for various articles of manufacture ; and, moreover, statements have been recently cir culated as a reason why gold was lately transmitted to Paris that speculators here were purchasing articles of French production. Whether this be true or not is difficult to determine; but certain it is that advices from most parts of France still com plain of the extreme depression of trade. In the manufacturing towns particularly there seems to be Muth distress, and the weekly railway traffic returns prove, mcst conclusively, that goods and produce are being moved from one part to another in very small quantities. This is gives as the chief cause of the depression of the French funds, which cer tainly, if contrasted with the current quotations of the 3 per Cent. Consols, seem forced almost to the - value of the national securities of a country greatly Inferior to France, both commercially and politi cally considered. Occasional symptoms of revival are experienced, but they are spasmodic in their character, and the trading interest appear to re gard the prevailing inactivity as chronic. When, however, due consideration is paid to the events of the last few months, showing the results of years ,_ ll f indiscretion, th roug h t ra d e b e i ng f or c e d 4e YOnd its natural limits, no surprise neel be felt at the existing state of things, especially as the commerce of England, the United States, South America, and Australia are all suffering from simi lar consequences. It is stated that the New Brazilian Loan of 1 ) 50 0,0001. will be issued in 41 per Cents. at the Price of 9G. At that quotation the amount will 11 0 doubt be readily subscribed. 1 The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester day was 24,0001. The annual general meeting of the National Bank took place to-day—J. Newsam, Esq., in the chair. The report was satisfactory, and showed a net profit in the year of 76,2571..1.35. 4d., which allowed of the usual dividend of 6 per cent. per annum. The rsiserve fund was now 104,792/. 2s. Bd. The chair- Man stated that the bank was not a loser by the late crisis, nor had Ireland been in any way affected by it so as to cause the accommodation to custo -Iners to be diminished. The report led to some discussion, but it was adopted unanimously. The meeting of the Recife, &c., Railway Com pany, held this day, was again adjourned. The Funds are flat and the transactions continue on the same limited scale as for some day; past. For the moment the tendency of prices is unfavour -414 in spite of the influx of g. - )1d into the Bank, 411 a other favourable indications. The dulness of th e Market is increased by the proximity of the set tt „ ut Some of the speculators prefer closing at b e; the rise during the account having given them tTheir ht 3 opportunity of securing a r profit. operations have caused a the e li weakness.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) l MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN ARTFUL DEFFNC E .—Th oma s Green, an artful- THE DERBY DOINGS AND MEMS. ON looking fellow, was charged under the following circurn- MANC it ESTE R. stances : People are already becoming bored by the Derby. Heifer, 99 G, said that while passing along Wells- They are wearied of the elahorate descriptions of the raee street, Oxford-street, be heard a noi,e down the area of which have appeared in nearly every journal, and their No. 41, and, on looking down, saw the prisoner, who, patience is worn out by the tedious sameness which immediately he saw him, dropped a piece of lead pipe. He called to him to come up, which he did, and having characterises all the "graphic accounts" which have handed him over to another constable he went down the filled the newspaper column.. I shall not, theref area, and found, in addi , ion to the piece of lead, that long harp on the mouldy string of events which marke the prisoner had cut off the ball-cock, ready for removal. the Epsom meeting, and I shall merely touch lighly The area gate wa s l oc k e d at t h e t i me , an d th e p r isoner had to climb over th e ra ili ngs to ge t d own . .upon the moat promine n t i nc il eats . A sma ll newspaper Rebecca Howe, Fervent to Mr. Hardin, of 41, Well , —save the mark—now before me, states the grave fact street, said the property belonged to her master, and that the Derby was the principal event of the week, and that it waq quite safe on the previous day. that Beadsman " did the knowing ones" and came in In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner made some first. Now really, perhaps, that is, after all, quiteenough objections to the way in which the constable had given to know, and in my opinion ignorance of the other details his evidence, and said he had gone down the area be cause the wind had blown his cap down. would be really bliss. I must, however, if merely for the Mr. Bingham said if he wished the case disposed of sake of appearances enter learnedly into a discussion of by him he must plead guilty. some of the items of sport. Well, on Tuesday Z nyder Zee The Prisoner—Oh, yes, I'm guilty of stealing the stalled off Saunterer who has become an incorrigible lead ; but the constable made some mistakes. rogue, and the success of the " Zee" caused East Lang- Mr. Bingham—You are a dangerous person, and 1 shad keep you from further mischief for some time to ton a useful second class horse to be advanced to a pro come. minent place in the betting. Z cyder Zee was, by the way, sold at Tattersail's yesterday for 1,000 guineas, and for stud purposes he will perhaps prove worth the purebase money. Mr. Howard made a great mistake with his lot and his " book" must have been at last rather complicated and difficult to understand. Eclipse was not the horse we saw at Newmarket, for although he looked wonderfully fit his recent hard work has evidently " told " upon him. As for Sedbury with whom Mr. Howard declared to win, he never had the remotest chance of bearing the " black jacket and orange cap" to the front. The names of the winners and losers have already been paraded before the public, and I only take this opportunity of referring to them to express my satisfaction that so old and respected a member of the ring as Mr. J. Morris should at laet be rewarded after his long series of M ink by at fair share of Fortune's favours. John Scott seems destined to disappointment in his attempts to win a Derby fur the present Premier. The care and anxiety which the preparation of Toxopholite must have cost him were rendered deeper by the horse's defeat, and I never saw "John" look so crestfallen as he did whilst talking to his noble patron after the race. The correctness of his judgment was, however, fully attested by the running of " Tox.," and he was cer tainly justified in not anticipating serious danger from Sir Joseph's black 'un. Why people should have backed Ethiopian in the way they did I am at a loss to imagine, fns the horse when stripped seemed as fat and lusty as a cart-horse. His time, however, may come for the St. Leger. Tom Dawson made little mistake with The liadji, whose success would have caused the opening of another Wolverhampton bank. - Clever j idges and shrewd tacticians like Messrs. Barber and Saxon were most unaccountably deceived by Ancient Briton, who, instead of fulfilling the promise of his two-year-old form, has grown into an ugly cab-horse. The Oaks will be memorable for its dead heat, and for Gilderinire's nearly repeating Etlington's never to be torgotten Dee and Derby performances. Tom Dawson at any rate means mischief for both the Derby and Oaks. The result of the race on Friday proves, in my opinion, that the fillies are this year very inferior to the colts. The settling will be concluded this afternoon ; many accounts have, however, already been squared, and the promptitude with which all claims have been met is alike honourable to backers and bookruakLrs. The Manchester men wi'l hold their annual " car nival" to-morrow and the two following days, and the Castle Irwell estate will be crowded with quite a Derby day concourse of people. Tire programme presents a formidable appearance, and if it fulfils its promise there will be no lack of spirit. Wardermarske and Childrey have as many claims to notice as any animal nominated for the Trafford Handicap, and I shall be much dis appointed if one of them do not prove the winner. East Langton will have to meet either Tunstali Maid or Gil dermire, or perhaps both these fillies for the Eighth Pro duce Stakes, and I shall expect him to produce the truth of the statement made above—that the fillies are inferior to the faults. For the Union Cup the chances of Strathnaver, Cots wold, and The Hadji, appear most to my fancy. Polly Johnson may win the Phillip Handicap, and Rainbow will, perhaps, win the Sapling Stakes. One of Mr. T. Paree nominations—Stockholm and Joyeuse—will carry off the Two-yrs.old Race It would be absurd to refer to the handicap events for the second and third day, for the running for them will be materially regulatel by the result of to•morrow's racing. Committed for four months with hard labour, THE WRECK OF THE A TA. So little of an authentic character has transpired with reference to the loss of this beautiful but ill fated ship, that the following extract from a latter, received from on, who bad served on board of her, will doubtless be read with interest. It is dated from "The Ava Camp, April 10. The efforts which we have made for the recovery of the Government treasure have, thank God, been at tended with a degree of euccess which the most sanguine amongst us never ventured to anticipate. We have con tinued our occupation of the camp on the shore, of which I informed you iu my former letter, and have worked, to use an old expression, like true British sailorr.' I raust do our fellows the justice to say that duty has been the first consideration with them, and that very little selfishness has been displayed by any one engaged. Of course our duties have not been of the most agreeable kind, but I must give you another adage, 'reward sweetens labour,' and whether we ever shalt get properly recompensed by the Government or no it certainly is very encouraging to see so many boxes of bright gold brought up, albeit that one has to work up to his neck in water. Of course we are not without protection, and Commodore Watson, who cimman,ts the East India squadron, is here in her Majesty's fri gate Chesapeake, having come to render us every assist. ance in his power. He is a glorious fellow, and his pre sence and that of his officers is very grateful to all of us. A few days sinca (on the 7th) the wreck, which as I before told you was for a long time partly visible, wholly disappeared. Up to this time we have succeeded, with the aid of our divers, in getting up 230,0001. of the specie. There remain below water seven more boxes, containing abut 43,0001.. and I am very hopeful that we shall succeed in recovering the whole of it. We have. also got up some bales of silk, and some baggage, and one or two things of oar own have been fished up, but of course all is completely spoiled by the sea-water. For my-elf all my things have gone to pot. You will no doubt bear many stories, but do not believe them. You will find that we should not have been wrecked had it not been for the Trincomalee light about which there has been so much complaint." LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —(This Day.)

The custom of appointing two settling days for the Derby would be certainly more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Racing men have long expe rienced its inconvenience, for it rather delays than facili tates the business of paying and receiving. Until this day (Tuesday) the "winding up act" wilt not be fully enforced ; but yesterday many heavy accounts were closed. If the absence of complaints be any criterion a more satiefacony settling could not have taken place. Money changed hands with really a marvellous rapidity, and the promptitude with which bookmakers met all claims upon tbein attested the great pecu niary strength of " the ring," whilst the readiness which backers of horses generally evinced "to part," showed that the public are, perhaps, after all, the largest winners by the result of the Derby and Oaks. Sir J. Hawley, the owner of Beadsman, gain., it is esti• mated, 50,000/., whilst his personal friends and the sup porters of the stable throw in for large sums, for Sir Joseph wade no secret of the relative merits of his two horses ; Wells, the jockey, stood with him 1000 to 10 about both. The bookmakers, with few exceptions, are heavy losers on both Derby and Oaks; Mr. J. B. Murris end Mr. F. Swindells are the principal members of the ring who have won large sums ; whilst Mr. J. Smith, who landed so good a stake with Vanity, for the Chester Cup, is the most unfortunate representative of the " losing division." Mr. Jackson, Mr. Spittle, and other partisans of " Tom " Dawson's stable, were within an ace of obtaining an immense sum of money ; for they ran third for the Derby with The Hadji. and second and third for the Oaks with Gildermire and Tunetall Maid. As many persons unacquainted with racing men have been curious to know " what Davis did," we may state that a long and severe illness has prevented the " levia than speculator" from attending a race-course or taking any active part in turf pursuits since last autumn. Mr. Davis was at Brighton, and bad, we believe, no bete on the race. Further remarks on the settling would be premature until after the last scene of all connected with the Derby of 1858 be played out at the corner this day (Tuesday). Little attention was directed to speculation on coming events, and the subjoined very scanty list of prices re quires no comment. ♦SCOT STAKES. 7to 1 offered on the field ASCOT GOLD CUP. 2 to 1 apt Fisherman (taken and offered) 5 to 1 agst Wa►lock (taken and offered) ST.

The extr in dinary popularity achieved by Mr. Charles Kean's first perf irmance of King Lear " has increased, is increasing, and ought not to be dirninishe I." Of sue: a consummation, however, there is as little likelihood as of the universal adoption of the Maine liquor law, the restoration of Mr. Smith to Cannon-row, or 'any prodi gious event equally far remote from the bounds of pro babiU ty. Each successive representation serves but to confirm the general opinion, that try his embodiment of this most sublime of Shakespeare's tragic canceptions, our great actor has attained the topmost round, and won an enduring renown as bright and solid as could possibly enwreathe the most ambitious a.pirant to histrionic fame. The distraction of . the discrowned monarch is pourtrayed by him with equal power, whe ther the predominant distress of that distracted mind appear to arise from filial iogratitu le or the loss of royalty. From the first, when seated in barbaric pomp in the hall hung round with spoils of the chase and bossy shields, he partitions the sovereignty of his, realms, to the closing scene of the strange eventful history, when the over worn spirit sinks beneath accumulated griefs, the Lear of Mr. Kean presents an unbroken perfecti in of acting, and commands with magic power the pro foundest sympathies of the audience for the iijured father and the degraded • kin • g. In this his last, anti perhaps greatest triumph, Mr. Kean is admirably assisted by the efficiency of his subordinate•. Mr. Ryder and Mr. Walter Lacy are deserving of marked praise, and the high anticipations we ha 1 sustained of Mi-s Kate Terry's excellence as an actress during her rapid growth in stature and in favour, have been fulfilled by her exquisitely pure and graceful delineation of the tender Cordelia.

NEW VESSELS LONGER THAN THE LEVIATHAc—WhiIe publio attention has been attracted so strongly by the unusual dimensions of the Leviathan that th 3 name of that vessel is in everybody's mouth, it happe i s singu lady enough that two vessels of greater lengto, and of a more remarkable character, have been advancing to completion in Liverpool without the general public being even cognisant of their existence. There vessels are each 700 feet long. They have been corstructed by Messrs. Vernon and Son, for the Orienta Inland Steam Company, and are intended for the naviga tion of the Indian rivers. The purpose if their peculiar features of construction, is to enable a large cargo to be carried at a good rate of speed upon a light draught of water. The great rivers of India, though penetrating far into the interior, and though containing large volumes of water, are, nevertheless, sallow during the dry season. The ves , elis navigatin g them must, therefore, float very light, and yet they mutt have displacement enough to carry a good cargo. They must have strength enough not to suffer injury k they should get aground, and they must present such little resistance to the water as to be able to achieve a satia faotorY rate of progress against the stream. All these indications are admirablyd fulfilled in these yeast's.— Liverpool Albion. THE SHREWSBURY PEERAGE.—The protracted inluiry into the claim put forth by E rl Talbot to the title and estates of the earldo m of Shrewsbury has again bees be fore the Committee of Privileges of the house of Lords on the 14th, 17 th, 1 8th, and 20th inst. As the case has proceeded the evidence adduced has gradually tends] to establish more clearly L ord Talbot's claim to be the rightful heir, and this impression was strongly confirmed when, on Thursday, the S olicitor -General, who repre would naturally carefully st a n s ents the Crown, and who the evidence advanced io supp •rt of the claim, with a view to prevent the possible ad -mission to the title of any but the real heir, submitted his conclusions to the com m attes, and expressed hi s satisfaction that the nohla claimant had made out his case, raid was entitled to It will also be seen by die tre e s arldom of Shrewsbury. Lord Cran worth made a , . reprt of the proceedings that remark apparentlyinuica- ing his concurrence in that view. Th e inquiry stands over to Tuesday week, but a general opinion prevails that the result will ho the admission of Lord Talbot's claim ; and so confidently o as this °pintos Olt receipt of the inteiligenc6 entertained in Staff ord that , on Thursday of the aspect the case h ad that day assumed, the bells of St. Mary awere set ringing by some of Lord Talbot's gratified friends during that evening and yester day, and flags were hoisted on the towers of that church and Sr. Chad's, and on the summit of the Shire-hall, the Militia Stores, and other b uildings —indications of the general satisfaction with which, throughout the county, the establishment of Lord Talbot's claim to the wealth and honours of the ancient earldo m of Shrewsbury will be received.—Staffordshire Advertiser. THE GAME LAWS IN IRELAND. —A Game Law 8.11 for Ireland has been brought in by Mr. Stearne Ball m.p., and Mr. II ons Miller, Ilamilton, M.P. It pro fesses to consolidate and amend the game laws appli• cable to the sister kingdom. C eta n portions of obso lete statutes are repealed, includi ng one of the reign of Richard IL, one of Edward IV., and one of William 111. of " glorioin Pi ' l ]:=, ar.d immortal memory." Game" is to be deemed to include hares, grouse, phea sants, partridges, black ga me, quail, and the season for shooting the birds is defined, Possession of genie is declared illegal after lO days (in the case of dealers), and after 40 days (in the case of other persona), from the cLse of the season. The right of killing game, when reserved, will appertain to the landlord exclusively, and these may authorise others to kill it. The occupier in this case will be liable to a fine of 21., and also 5.. for every bead of game by him killed ; ss. per egg is the penalty for destroying the eggs of game. From 11. to 5/. is the penalty for killing game without a certificate. Trespassers in search of game may be fined, and if they refuse to leave the premises arrested. AQUATICS. PRINCE OF WALES AQUATIC CLUB. The first race of the above club took place yesterday, and the following were the results : Red 1 Mr. M‘Guire Mr. Burton Mr. Isaacs Mr. F. Willes Soott—Coswain. Blue 0 Mr. G. Blanchard Mr. May I Mr. J. Blanchard Mr. A. Willes Young—Coxwain White Mr. Little Mr. Dobson Mr, P.irkbur,t I Mr. Wiles Goodall—Coxwain. After a capital race the winner came in first by two lengths ; White second, by half a length. The distance was from Battersea to Lambeth. THE WHITSUN EXCURSION TRAlNS.—Yesterday morn ing the different metropolitan railway termini were be ieged by thousands of eager excursionists. At London bridge atation and at the South-Western Railway the greatest number assembled. One immense train, drawn ty two engines, left the London•bridge station for brighton, carrying several hundred passengers. All the other excursion trains were equally well filled, immense numbers flocking by every train to the Crystal Palace ; and from an early hour the trains to Gravesend, Green wick, and Woolwich were crowded. The trains on the South-Western line, especially those to Hampton Court, Richmond, Twickenham, and Windsor, were filled to an overflow. Great numbers patronised the excursion trains on the Eastern Counties, Great Western, and North- Western lines, upwards of 15,000 having left the metro polis by railway during the morning. Some hundreds a's 3 departed by the river steamersfor Woolwich, Green• wiob, Gravesend, Sheerness, and Southend. HAYMARKEr THEATRE. The entertainments presented by the talented lessee of the Haymarket Theatre—Sbakspere'a comedy, "As You Like It," the now burltequ•., "Pluto and Prosi pine," and the ballet, "Jack's Return from: Canton"— drew a crowded audience. M:e. C. Young as Rosalind, in the comedy, appeared to great advantage ; her ac ing throughout was perfect, and elicited rapturous applause. Compton's Touchstone is too well known to read the slightest remark further than to say, it was sustained with his usual ability and success. The brilliant bur lesque seems to increase in attraction each evening it is repre:eated ; and most destrvedly so, for nothing aproaching it in splendour has been produced on the London stage since the famous "Island of Jewell," which signalised the management of the late Madame Vestris at the Lyceum. Our readers will be delighted to hear that Miss Amy Sedgwick has completely reco vered from her severe illness, and that she will app,ar to-morrow evening in her favourite part of Hester, in Taylor's admirable comedy, "An Unequal Match ;" and an overflowing audience will witheut doubt wel come her re-appearance. SURREY THEATRE. • An Excellent bill of fare was put forth on the occasion of the Whitsuntide holidays by Messrs. Creswick and Shepherd. Last evening Mr. H. Marston, a great favourite, made his first appearance, and was received with rapturous applause. The tragedy selected was the " Gamester," in which Mr. Cresaick, Mr. H. Marston, and Miss Atkinson sustained the principal parts with great ability. This was followed by a capital drama, entitled the "Wilds of Texas, or a Brother'sVengesnce,' and the evening's amusements terminated with the farce of "My Wife's Out," which sent the immense audience home in the highest spirits. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The Whitsun holidays were signalised last night at Astley'e by the first presentation of en Equestrian Chi valric Spectacle, in two acts, written, says the play-bill, by "a popular author," and entitled "The White Pal frey; or, the Wild Boar of the Fens." The scene is laid in Lincolnshire, in the middle ages, when Barons waged war with each other, and committed such atrocities as are only fitted for pourtrayal by our modern mile-dra matic actors. The monster on the present oacasion is the Baron de Moutford, otherwise known as the Wild Boar of the Fens, be having obtained this complimen tary soubriquet from his tyrannous and ravaging pre-pen alties. In this drama we find him snatching from her home and her lover, Florence de Mowbray, and convey ing her to his castle, where be threatens her with every outrage. Ile is, of course, impeded in his wicked course by the Baron do Mowbray, the reputed father of the hapless damsel, by her very heroic page, Roland, who dares ennuaabereal Jangara i n her 1,1110110, and al.s by Bea' rice de Montrevor, a victim of De Moutferd's, who haunts his castle. These opponents, of course, in the end triumph, and after eight scenes of heir-breadth 'scapee and the most imminent danger, Florence and R , I Led are united, amidst the shouts of joy of the loyal followers of De Mowbray and a grateful peasantry, hilt the Wild Boar of the Fens meets his deserved death from the spear of his outraged foes, ainidst i ther exeerationP, and a castle crumbling to pieces, in lurid flames and blue fire. The interest of the piece was well maintained, and the bye-play of Messrs. Anson and Croueste kept the gods in uproarious delight. Tee "spectacle" was followed by some excellent tight-rope dancing, by "Le Petit Roussilli," a little fello v who looks about ten years of age, and whose feats in this de partment were of a very superior order. Other enter tainments succeeded, including a lesson in horse-taming, and with such a variety all must have felt that they had an abundance for their money. THE ALHAMBRA. Among the places affording shelter, as well as atnug ,- tnent, which were yesterday resorted to by the holiday makers in large numbers, the Alhambra was not the least popular. At the day performance, which, from the spaciousness and lively decoration of the building, suf• feted less from the absence of gas-light than such enter tainments usually do, the house was completely filled, a larger proportion than usual of the spectators consißting of children, whose uiirtJ4tiained enjoyment of the pro ceedings considerably heightened that of their elders. The entertainment provided by Messrs. Howes and Cushing was the same as that recently given before her MajFs'y, and exhibited all the novelty and variety ehich the feats of the circus admit of. Mr. bundle cre ated much applause and a little shuddering by his ifficult peiformance of the "Crystal Pyramids," and the " Roman Brothers" displayed astonishing strength and agility in various gymnastic efforts, including ono of a new cha_ meter, entitled "Globe la Percbe." Tho equine inem , berg the troupe pl,yed their part admirably. " Eagle" could not have given more proofs of docility and intelligence had he enjoyed the tuition of Mr. Itarey him self ; and the two "comic mules," Pete and Berney, caused roars of laughter by the irresistible manner in which they threw, one after another, the aspiring bo) who accepted the offer of a ride round the circle. M an y of the usual feats of equestrianism were gone through in a superior manner, and on bare-backed steeds, and the two clowns made the most of the various intervAs by jokes and repartees, which were productive of much juvenile merriment. CRYSTAL PALACE. The three days' amusement s f Whitsuntide com menced yesterday, and were patronised by 29,731 visi tors. During the day there were several showers, hut between them the appearance of the grounds and sur rounding scenery was such as thoroughly to delight the nutn l ,ers who availed themselves of the intervals of sun shine to survey them. The building seemed sufficiently attractive to keep the larger number within it. Many appeared deeply interested at the sight of the centrifugal pump, machinery in motion, great water towers, and the great gold nugget—the latter being only at the palace for a short time, as it is to be removed from this part of the world after to-morrow. The orchestral baud of the company, and the Handel Festival organ, the former musical attractions, are now assisted by a wind band, which is worthy of being placed with them. or A . portion of it attended in the grounds during the Morris and Maypole dances, and other holidayarn h which u a s d ' about arranged by Mr. Nelson Lee, and 9Ces ot for these 12,000 of the visitors for spectators. pastimes was so well chosen, th l at more than 20,000 y from the people might have seen them.ileabsei repeated to-morrow, surround ing high ground. They will nd as that will be the last opportunity of seeing the monster nugget, there will probab'y be a large attend• ance. The new arrangements for exit by the station w o r ked admirably, and saved at least two hours in the time of the party leaving. CRENIORNE GARDENS. Mr. Simpson, the spirited proprietor of these attractive gardens, with an enterprise worthy of his former efforts, has provided an admirable bil, of fare for his Whitsut, holiday friends and " the public at large ;" and he would, no doubt, have bad a vast bumper last evening had the weatherbeen favourable, Unfortunately it was otherwise. The rain came down in fitful torrents, deterrinl number, from ventwing out. Many of "the million," however, undismayed by " wind and weather," and resolved to enjoy theMslces aealltazards, avail d theinselvpa oldie various modes of " - pas,enger - tiaffic," and pushed on to the garien , , the varied and artiitically-set-out features of which comrnsated for a visit. A. nong those batures is the thoughtful indoor accommodation provided for visitors on a rainy day. The gardens, a; compared with the arrangements of last year,seem alnao,t terra inc9gnita --ao varied arc the objects, and so changed the situations. Io the promeaade, embracing 18 acres, known statues have been shifted, new ones have b-en a idea, aria land .capogardening has been much beautified. A eDlo:al picture of Italia, with "its gorgeous palaces, cloud capped to were," its rninarcted temples, its sacred moFquee, and lofty inounta'ns, and apart from all other attraction, it riciily can3pensatas fir a visit. Elabc -1 rattly wrought, it is regarded as a triumph in scenic art, combining artistic skill and architectural o;,rrectness ; and, irrespective of its value as a work of art, it derives a new interest from its embracing,: among 16 districts, some of the remarkable scenes of the mutiny, Lucknoir and Delhi included. It is on an extend sd scale, is ex'ii bi'c I in the op n air, and iv rema;-kableasi an optical Pa ,ion of art and nature, rtfl:c':ing the highest credit on the artist, Mr. Jorei. A.nong the attraction s in the theatre, sere 12 el tssic cubjm's, chaste and intf restingly illus trated in Tableaux Tirants ; the celebrated fide Family, elr.

This entertainment went off admirably, and excited by its broad burlesque much laughter, We may add, by way of postscript, that darning Was enjoyed with spirit by the visitors within the wall of the theatre, to the soul-stirring strains of an admirable band ; i-cenes in the cirque were admirably enooted ; the Sax. horn Band, conduced by Mr. Sidney. Davis, " dis coursed soft music"; and to those attractions may be superadded Messrs. Waterer and Godfrey's Grand Ex. hibition of American Plants, as they appeared green, flouiishing, and blooming in the Ashburnham Pavilion, transplanted wonders from the Ain,rican soil. SURREY GARDENS. The secant] fete of the Early Closing Association lakes place this evening, when, in addition to a very attractive concert, a grand display of fireworks will be given on the lake. This part of the entertainment is under the direction cf Mr. Southhy, whose name is a sufficient guarantee fur the splendour of the exhibition. ROSHERVILLE GARDENS. The season at the e picturesque gardens, with all their varied and healthful attractions, has beets auspi ciously inaugurated. Since last year the grounds have undergone manifest improvement ; and in the holiday attire of Whitsuntide they yesterday presented the gayest appearance. Not only from the pleasant districts of Kent, adjoining Rosherville, but from the metropolis, several thou ands of visitors thronged by river and rail to participate in the succession of eel fresco entertain ments provided at the gardens, comprising archery, corp. de ballet, and old English sports. The archery ground, bowling saloon, and other amusements, found many ad mirers. The gothic hall-room, with its excellent band, commanded a large share of attention. Notwithstand ing the immense numbers present, an air of quiet respec tability and decorum marked every portion of the enter tainments ; and Rosherville, under the present manage ment, promises to be one of the pleasantest places of cut-door amusement within easy reaoh of London. POLYTECHNIC. This excellent institution never fails in the production of appropriate novelty on the recurrence of every popu lar fi-stivul. Whilst entirely conservative of all that gives it a distirc:ive character amidst its numerous competitors for public favour, the Polytechnic manager is not blind to the signs of the times, and readily engrafts upon the sound constitution of his establishment whatever reforms or in novations the progressive taste of the public may require. Hence it is that its sails catch so much of the popularis aura, that its rooms are filled with festival crowds. The WhitAun novelty consi.ts in a first class diorama, direct ing us where to go and what to see on the Continent. We start from L radon-briilge in the John Bull steam boat, and, after lauding at Hamburg, we visit in sue cosi:ion Berlin, Dresden, Ratisbon, Prague, Vienna, Pe,th, Constantinople, Rome, Venice, the Lago Mag. g ire, and some of the principal Alpine scenery of Switzer land. All _that is historically interesting or artistically beautiful is noticed by the way, and the scenes are so accuratdy delineated and clearly outlined that that no traveller can repent of a peregrination so pictorially peasant. Bat in addition there are to be seen and heard at the Polytechnic the lively carols of the coloured opera troupe, in the curt dress of the [wand George's, the al ways welcome dissolving views, and the entertain jog and locomotive l'ctures of. Mr. Pepper himself, on subjects of popular and universal interest, illustrated by striking experiments, which the large and effective ap paratus at the command of tha institution enable him to xbibit with entire success. The institution was greatly Cr) aded during the day, but the rain which fell copiously in the afternoon prevented those persons from c Hiring to the evening exhibition who would otherwise have i,valled themselves of this cheap shilling's worth of en terlair.ment. ST. JANIES'S BALL.-GRAND DIORAMA OF THE INDIAN MUTINY. This very interesting and attractive exhibition, which was to have closed on Saturday last, has extended its term, and, we are informsd, will continue open for another fortnight, in consequence of the vast nuinbi.ra who Nisi it daily. It is cri a very extensive scale, each view covering a space of 500 square yards of canTas, by e minent artists, among whom are M. Gompeitz and Mr. Marshall, of Her Majesty's Theatre. The panorama e cousiete.of the city and fortifications of Delhi, showing every object cf interest in and about the city, the preparatious for the defence, the British encamp. ment and batteries, and a group of officers, consietin of General Barnard and file staff, and several others who di-tinguished themselves. This is followed by the battle of Subzeinundie, which lasted fifteen hours. The view of Peshawur gives a vivid representation of the execu tion of the mutineers, come of whom wire hanged, and others blown from the guns. The Assembly rooms at Cawnpore, in which took place the massacre of the Eng lish women and children by command of that worse than fiend Nana Sahib, although rendered as little revolting as possible, is sill indeed most ghastly. Other scenes follow, all of which possess remarkable interest. The whole diorama is beautifully painted, and richly merits the extensive patronage it is receiving. THE GREAT GLOBE. Yesterday afternoon the Dioramas of the Sapoy Re bellion, the cities of Delhi, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and Bewares, were visited by a very large number of per eons. Altogether the views are splendid. and a great deal of information may he obtained by a visit. GREENWICEI PARK. The annotinoeun , nt that the Commissioners of Woods and Foreas bad granted p er aAviinn for the attendance together resorc e R a of the are ou of military bands in Greenwich Park during the firs h railway com pany, steam - boat companies, and proprietors of all kinds of vehicles were taxed throughout the d a y i n three e t y 3 B of of holiday V da hl y ta s u e n e k w eek, er, d the u n drew their living freights into the town. Th an k s to stehousreg i : ig n au thority having abolished the monster nui sance into which the fair had of late years grown, there was an attendance of a superior clays of persons, the re sidents .ith their grown-up sons and daughters, being able to join in the pleasures of the day. The park and heath were, of course, the cLief points of attraction, and never did either appear to a greater advantage than they t:id yesterday. The chesnut trees in the park with their beautiful blossoms, and the green sward, o'er which tripped lightly thousands of joyous h a p py throngs, with the delightful strains from the band of the Royal Ma. rues Light Infantry, present e d a scene at once pleasing and cheering, as evincing a great point gained in provid ing the pui;lic el this densely -populated metropolis with means of h tbful recreati on an d plea arable enjoyment. The Royal Hospital, with it s noble chapel and paints.! hall, attract e d a l arge number of visiters•whil st the heath was re sor t e d to b y cricketers, amateur's in archery practice, and hundreds of would-be equestrians, the re peated falls of the latter cantributing materially to the ed the company present. About 6 o'clock rain began to descend iu considerable abundance, causing a rather sharp retreat from the park and heath towards home. The whole amu , ementS passed off without acci dent to life or limb, and, judging from the number of vi:itors to the town, the tradesmen have nothing to de - plore by w hat some persons terms the loss sustained by the abolition of the fair. The same band will be in at tendance again this day, that of the Royal Artillery Losing engaged for to-morrow (Wednesday). ~R 3 1000, 25 1 100 St. St. 25 100 st. 1 20 50 50 50 100 1 St.
