ORYSTAL PALACE.—ONE MORE GREAT k,) ILLUMINATION of FOUNTAINS, Grand Pyro technic Display, Descent of Comets, Cascades of Fire, and Popular AFTERNOON and EVENING FETE, TO MORRO W (Thursday), August 23. The unrivalled splendour of tho Illuminated Fountains and Fireworks is,well known. The groat novelty of the display, THE BLAZING COMETS, will receive a great extension on this occasion. They will travel an additional thousand feet, leading from the sum mit of the lofty Water towers—two hundred and sixty feet above the cross of St. Paul's—to the Water Temples, which they will light up with brilliant double CASCADES OF FIRE, as seen on the Pont des Invalides, at the Fete of the Em peror in Paris, on Wednesday last, the 15th August, con cluding with a grand SALVO OF COLOURED SHELLS, thus producing a magnificent ensemble prior to lighting up tho series of fountains. THE SET FIREWORKS without parallel, one piece alone being 200 feet in circum ference. THE PLIGHT OF ROCKETS far exceed in brilliancy and extent anything before wit nessed.—The rockets with magnesium points excite general admiration. The parachutes with coloured stars having afforded so much gratification will be added to. Twelve of these pleasing floating stars will be displayed at once. THE MAGNESIUM BALLOONS illuminating the Landscape —the smoke causing passing shadows—are unique, while the GRAND ILLUMINATION of tho FOUNTAINS, beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'ceil over presented to the public, confers the greatest credit on Mr. Brock, the Artist. _ _ _ To afford time for the preparation of the Cascades of Fire, the SECOND PART of the FIREWORKS will be preceded by a Night Ascent of SIGNOR ETHARD 0, the daring Spiral Ascensionist, who will make the ascent of the Spiral Mountainemaid Coloured Fires, thus forming a combination of unusual evening attraction. To enable all classes to witness this GREAT POPULAR DISPLAY the ordinary price of admission will be charged, viz., ONE SHILLING ONLY. Such a combination of magnificence at such small cost is without precedent. Former displays have been allotted by more than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand visitors. However many visitors attend the Crystal Palace there is room for all. Performances by the Orchestral Band of the Company and the Military Band, and on the Great Organ, at in tervals, and the thousand and ono attractions as usual. The Palace will be opened at 10.

About a quarter to 9 o'clock Ethardo's Night Ascent. Tho Descent of Comets, great Illumination of Fountains, Fire Temples, &c. Note.—The Palace will be brilliantly Illuminated after the display for evening promenade untillo o'clock—twelve hours.

Quick March, who bad experienced great difficulty in getting through her horses, when fairly in the straight was vigo rously called on by Snowden, and, answering gamely, she opposite the stand headed Beeswing, who swerved across the course, but, never quite getting up, was beaten by a neck.

The time-honoured gathering on the renowned Knaves mire was inaugurated yesterday with its accustomed suc cess; the powerful programme issued by Mr. Johnson be ing sufficient to satiate the keenest lover of racing, and those who follow the sport professionally, both as book makers and hackers, for many of the latter pursue their vocation with such business-like pertinacity that they are fairly entitled to be enrolled in the ranks of professionals. The demand for hotel accommodation in York on Monday was very great, and on the arrival of each London train the familiar forms of racing men made up by far the greater portion of its living freight. Most of the illuminations e rected in honour of th e recent visit to Y or k of t h e i r R oya l Highnesses the Prin ce an d Princess of Wales remain intact for the race week, and on each evening these evidences of rejoicing have been brilliantly lighted, the principal de monstration being the triumphal arch on the Ouse-bridge, which is elegant and striking by day and at night. There was nothing doing at the rooms during the evening but a few members dropping in. Tho morning gallops were a sufficient attraction to induce many of the visitors to rise at a very early hour, and the weather being fine, and most of the competitors who have been backed for the Ebor Handicap on the course, they were quite contented with the inconvenience of so early a visit to t ,the Knavesmire. The general impressi on created by the appearance and go ing of the various animals who were taking their exorcise canters were in favour of Oomera, who was looked after by old John Day, who has apparently recovered from his recent severe indisposition.*. The course.is pronounced ex cellent going, the late heavy rains being very beneficial to it. Racing commenced at 1.30 p.m., and finished at 5.25 p.m., but the earlyhour at which the parcel was obliged to be despatched prevented the possibility of offering any re marks on the running, full returns of which, however, are appended : Tho ZETLAND STAKES of 5 Boys. each with 100 added; weight for age ; P ena lti e ' s an d a ll owances ; secon d t o save stake; one mile.

As they rounded the bend into the straight Feodor was beaten, and Elvire ran up to the leader, taking second place half way up, but was joined at the distance by The Corporal, the pair racing in attendance on Cecrops to the stand, where The Corporal challenged, and, gradually getting up, won a good. race by a neck, the favourite being a similar distance only in front of Elviro ; Lord of the Dales and Broomielaw, close together, wore fourth and fifth, Paxton sixth, Honesty, Feodor, and Fairwind next, close together.

After having been in abeyance for nineteen years, the Hastings and St. Leonards Meeting was last year revived with considerable success ; and the gentlemen who had been the means of re-establishing the meeting anticipated that if certain improvements were made in the course it would be still more extensively patronised. The course, which is situated about three miles from Hastings, was very kindly placed at the disposal of the committee by Mr. Piggott, and since last year the objectionable turn past the post has been considerably altered. But for the marshy state of the ground, further improvements might be made on the course. The ring was fairly represented, and the attendance of the general public was very large. The card contained five races, and the running is sufficiently detailed below:— _ _ The WELTER Cur (handicap) value 50 sovs, surplus in specie, with 30 added ; winners extra ; gentlemen riders; professionals, 71b extra; about one mile and a half. 11 subs.

The new regulations are to take effect from April 1 instead of from January 1 in each year, as hereto fore, and in order to adjust the proportion of leave to be allowed for the intermediate period 77 days' leave of absence will be allowed to reckon between January 1 in the present and March 31 in the en suing year. General Peel and Lord Longford, Secretaries of State for the War Department, attended by Lieut.- Col. Milward, Assist.-Director of Ordnance, yes terday made their first official inspection of the de partments of Woolwich Arsenal. Having paid a visit of ceremony to Major-Gen. Warde, C. 8., com manding the district, they went to the Arsenal, at 2 o'clock, and entered the office of the Ordnance Select Committee, where were Colonels Boxer and Clark, of the Royal Laboratory and the Carriage Departments. They proceeded thence to an inspec tion of the new machinery room fitted up for the manufacture of the wrought iron gun-carriages re cently introduced. The departments throughout the arsenal are now engaged in preparing for shipment 12 complete batteries of field guns of the Royal Ar tillery, and their equipment, for transport to Canada. The General, having informed himself of their readi ness for shipment by the end of the present month, then examined some of the new gun carriages and slides intended for the Zealous and Bellerophon. appeare d . to Both General Peel and Lord Longford enter artistically into the merits of the s u l bs in titutio es n of iron for wood, and made many practicam into the cost and the advantages in the answers to which . of the material now in use, the satisfaction. awn were apparently much to their rt e rs plo cl yment here they viewed the spent some time in thatdepaw con ducted to the shell foundry, sot.ln fja ent, they were They then went on wardsmanufacture of some steel gun factories, eof andhe coilssa w o t f h t e h p e r h o e c a e v s y s fbeating theout Raonll ° of being made for the fleet.

An inspection of the ingredients ancrtle entire composition of the new cartridges, notwithstanding a former minute examination of some samples submitted to the War-office, occupied about an hour. It was elicited from Col.

Yesterday evening a public meeting was held at the Corn-Exchange, Maidstone, for the purpose of giving the Liberal party in that constituency an op portunity of considering the political conduct of the sitting members—Messrs. Lee and Whatman—under peculiar circumstances which have recently oc curred, and in which they have been intimately concerned. It may be remembered that Lee and Whatman were elected as representatives of Maid stone at the general election in 1865, and that a pe tition was lodged against their return, the merits of which were tried befere a committee of the House of Commons in the April of the present year. The committee declared the sitting members duly elected, and at the same time reported that one Henry Cham bers, who gave evidence before them, had been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury. The House of Commons forthwith instituted a prosecution, and Chambers was accordingly tried at the August ses sions of the Central Criminal Court. Messrs. Lee and Whatman were on that occasion witnesses for the Crown, but Chambers was acquitted notwith standing. The Liberal party at Maidstone at once resolved to hold a public meeting with a view not only to give full expression to their confidence in their representatives, but also to make known mat ters which were locally wellunderstood, but of which no legal tribunal could take cognisance. It was an nounced that the meeting would take place at 8 o'clock, but long before that hour the arched pas sage leading to the. Corn Exchange was crowded with persons evidently anxiously awaiting the open ing of the doors. At half-past 7 Mr. Lee, thesenior member, arrived and at once proceeded to the com mittee-room in the Mitre Hotel, and soon after Mr. Whatman, accompanied by Mrs. Whatman, drove up, and was received with loud cheering by the im mense crowd which had gathered round his carriage. It may be mentioned that during the day a rumour was circulated that the Conservative party were likely to disturb the harmony of the meeting, but neither during the afternoon nor during the progress of the proceedings in the Corn Exchange was there been an y indicationresolved or that in t intended. e h d a . demonstration p h r a e d . cisely Mr. Arkcoll, the chairman of the evening, ac companied by Messrs. Lee and Whatman, entered the large room in which the meeting had been convened, and were received with great enthusiasm. The platform was occupied by all the conspicuous mem bers of the Liberal party in Maidstone, and seats assigned to Messrs. Lee and Whatman at right and left of the chairman respectively. The body of the hall was crowded with an audience principally con sisting of the working classes. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings by saying that the meeting was one of great impor tance not only to the Liberal, but also to the Con servative party in Maidstone, and by promising that every speaker, no matter of what shade of political theory, should get a fair and impartial hearing, Mr. ELLIS, jun., ex-Mayor, rose to propose the first resolution, which ran as follows : " That in the opinion of this meeting the Committee of theflouse of Commons appointed to inquire into the petition presented against the return of Messrs. Lee and Whatman at the last election were right in their decision that Henry Chambers had, in his evidence before them, committed wilful and corrupt perjury, and further expresses its con viction that had the evidence that was available, corrobo rative of the statements of the sitting members, been adduced the verdict of the jury would have been in accord ance with that of the committee." (Loud cheers.) He said that no blot rested on the fair fame of their representatives, who had proved themselves to be men of undoubted honour and the L „11 themselves of the false and malicious Claarges made against them, bat it still remained for their consti tuents to express their implicit confidence in their honesty, and admiration for their conduct under the critical circumstances under which they had been recently placed. They were called upon to express their conviction that Chambers had committed wilful and corrupt perjury, and no one who knew anything of the progress of events at the last general election could hesitate to adopt that proposition in its entirety. Chambers had sworn before a Committee of the House of Commons that Messrs. Lee and Whatman had themselves offered him money on condition that he would promise to vote for them on the occasion to which he alluded. The speaker then went through the various dates which had been referred to at the trial before the Recorder as well as before the Committee of the House, and showed that it was impossible from the various series of events which had occurred that either Mr. Lee or Mr. Whatman had been at Chambers's forge on the evening on which he alleged that they had visited him. Mr. Ellis then proceeded to ask was it likely that either of the candidates would have called on Chambers on the night before the day of election—the night in question—when the fact was that the result of the canvass of the previous week had been that Messrs. Leo and Whatman had a majority of promises amounting to 200 over their opponents in the opposite interest? Further, was it visitedproba c ble h t a h m at b t e h rs e candidates persona: themselves would object, siwou i ldhave f such wore in view, could be quite as well effected through an agent,when their detection would be far more difficult ? In conclusion, he had to express his profound regret that the instigators of the late pro ceedings had done so much to morality e s ro a .f p vihich he toutrage honour truth in be t a h b e um constituency m em b hadand Mr. WELLS, in seconding the resolution, made a most vigorous and telling speech, in which he re viewed the whole history of the recent election and the circumstances which arose from it. He said that the Conservative party in Maidstone was heartily ashamed of the part they had taken against the sit ting members, especially on account of the exhibi tion which their witness Chambers had made be fore the Committee of the House of Commons as well as before the Recorder at the Central Criminal Court. He had it in his power to prove that Cham bers had given his evidence on account of a pecu niary consideration, but it was not only from that cause his testimony should be distrusted, but also from the fact that he had been whom previously ol4noint convicted hheemh aeeatirne of various crimes. The speaker then reviewed the Court, and asked w p h u o t m fr w o e m re t t h h e ey ch to ai c r re w di a t evidence of other witnesses produced at the Central ne lude d o r b those o s e callingt Criminal membersco h illn e ge resolution. 0 t°f—erred T teah b er e rY3tt resolution on being unanimously adopted. yr. Stanger proposed and Mr. Vaughan seconded the second resolution, which was to the following effect :—" That we most sincerely sympathise with our friends, Mr. Lee and Mr. Whatman, and we now most earnestly assure both of them that our esteem and regard for them, as upright, truthful men, and as faithful members of Parliament, re main altogether unabated ; and, further, that our efforts to maintain them in their present position as our representatives will be stimulated by recent events." This resolution having been carried, Messrs. Lee and Whitman briefly addressed the meeting, which terminated with the customary vote of thanks to the chairman. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The promi nent objects of attraction at the fortnightly meeting of this society yesterday were the Gladioli from Mr. Standish, and the hybrid forms of Clematis lanaginosa from Mr. Cripps• There was a very interesting collection of cut orchids from Mr. Anderson, among which was a fine Oncidium, from Honduras, and the beautiful Lxlia IVallisii, which, it is believed, have not flowered before in this country.
