Palmer, any th, brigades formed into line, and made a most vigor ous attack. A change of tactics on the part of the supposed defending force made several changes of front necessary to the attackers, and the last move ment was a grand bayonet charge, which, given ' with the loud shout and cheers for which the English soldiery are famous when handling the national weapon, made the large mass of people, who had stolidly watched the muzzles of the rifles deliver their fire, take to their heels and run. The troops were then marched in a column to a large railed off space for the review. To this place the people from all parts of the country round seemed to think they had special right, for they came in• every sort of vehicle it is possible to imagine, save and except barrows, and space was found for all, the only place reserved being a small spot for the family of Earl Cowper. The ground was admirably kept by the local police under Colonel Robinson, the chief constable, and at the flagstaff were the Hon. F. Cowper, First Com missioner of her Majesty's Office of Works ; Lady Dowager Cowper, and ninny of the nobility and gentry. The troops passed before Col. Erskine, the Inspector-General, and Col. Ibbotson, the Assistant- Inspector, the artillery leading, the rear being brought up by the local corps. The proceedings were highly satisfactory, and those who had taken part in them had several hours' enjoyment in the extensive and beautiful park before returning t o town, an enjoyment which was greatly enhanced by some home-brewed ale. On Saturday three of the North London corps— namely, the 20th, 37th (Bloomsbury), and 39th Middlesex (Finsbury), were officially inspected by Colonel Erskine in Regent's-park. The muster of each of the corps was not so strong as it ought to have been ; but those present underwent a very satisfactory inspection. At the conclusion of the drill the inspecting officer made a short speech, in which he expressed his pleasure at viewing the good feeling shown by corps representing districts meet ing together. There should be no local jealousy among Volunteers, he said, for they were all banded together for one honourable purpose, and they should only strive to excel in military efficiency. The 3d Essex Artillery, representing Stratford, West Ham, and other outlying districts, have erected a very commodious drill shed, which was opened a short time since by Lord Ranelagh, in the presence of Colonel M'Murdo and many officers and private gentlemen interested in the Volunteer force. The statements made on the occasion show that the Volunteer spirit in this district is gaining ground. The Surrey Rifle Association lately held the annual rifle meeting at the butts of the London Scottish and Civil Service, on Wimbledon-common, when prizes to a great value were competed for by members of Volunteer regiments in the county of Surrey. tVANS'S (COVENT-GARDEN), Limited.

" Atter the Opera we shall Sup there! appropriate, and enables some duets, quartetts, and choruses to be effectively introduced. Whether it shows any of the genius of burlesque which would be required to perform for music what has been so long done for our great poets we cannot say; and , we imagine that m uc h as mus i c h as progressed in this country we have not arrived at that musical state when the people would appreciate a humorous burlesque of the finest music. We do not see how a parody of " God save the Queen" is to set the people laughing, or the most pathetic part of Lucia or Margeurite to be so mimicked that the people shall have comic instead of tragic emotions when they hear the grand scenes parodied. Mr. Musgrave may have given some sly jokes of this sort at Meyerbeer and Gounod, but our critical acumen has certainly failed to detect any such subtle satire. What we have discovered is in common with the rest of the audience, including a crammed gallery of holiday boys ; that the music is lively, the dresses splendid, the scenery picturesque, the dancing abundant, and the efforts of all concerned un ceasing to make fun, and to keep it up when it was concocted. The plot is nothing in such matters, but it may give some idea of the piece to say that it un folds an episode in the love of Henry the Eighth for Anne Boleyn which even Mr. Froude's researches have failed to reveal. Henry is here represented on the eve of his marriage with Anne Boleyn, as falling in love with a country lass named Mabel Linwood, with whom a very desperate boor is also in love, and who uses Herne, the Demon Hunter of Windsor Forest, to aid his suit. This is not a very rich material for verbal burlesque, but it does very well for operatic. ferent play ; and we hear tha ,7 N•:T.667r --- ay t h e cachinnatory Offenbach is speedily to form the groundwork of another selection which will quite disprove the proverb about " too many cooks," At the Oxford the infant pianist " Miriam" (eight years of age) continues to display wonderful pre cocity on the jnstrument, and it is a mystery how her tiny fingers can accomplish the mechanical diffi culties that seem to be overcome with ease by her. Mr. George Hodson, in his multifarious exhibitions of Irish fun, still finds pretty and intelligent aid in Miss Kate Balfe. The skipping-rope dancing of Madame Ramsden is quite a novelty in the Terpsi chorean art. Les Freres Talliott work up the au dience to a pitch of wonder and excitement by their thrilling evolutions on the still trapeze, and the D'Aubaus (brother and sister--not of Sir Henry Bishop) are the cleverest and most fantastic pair of dancers we have seen anywhere. The eye flags in following the gyrations of the brother, who executes a sort of dumb Carneval de Venise with his legs. We wish he would dance the " Sailor's Hornpipe" oftener, with, if possible, the old tune. Mr. Jongh mans is still indefatigable in his attempts to rouse his musical forces to the necessary point of enthu siasm for their art ; young Mr. Melling presides ably at the pianoforte ; Mr. Plumpton (his wife being an admirable solo player on the pianoforte) does like office at the harmonium ; and Mr. Husk looks beamingly from the " chair" vacated by the late Mr. Caulfield.

James played the chief jester Will Somers, as a clown, doing the usual business with a good deal of skill and mostpersevering good humour, for the part is not a very brilliant one. Mr. James Stoyle played the low-born lover sold to the Demon Hunter, with a sternness, not to say a fierceness of manner, that seemed to subdue criticism, and inspire terror rather than any sense of humour. As a buffo singer, how ever, he certainly showed capacity and was justly encored, with Miss Ada Swanborough, in a mock heroic duet. The BOOK of the DAY and EVERY MAN'S BOOK.

DEBENTURES ISSUED BY T HE CREDIT FONCIER AND MOBILIER OF ENGLAND (Limited), ISSUE OF £500,000 DEBENTURES WITH INTEREST PAYABLE QUARTERLY. . The Directors have decided to issue Debenture Bonds of the Company for the amounts and bearing interest as under, viz. : In sums of £lO, £2O, £5O, £lOO, £250, £5OO, and £l,OO l , with coupons attached. INTEREST. For three years 8 per cent. per annum.

The first payment of interest will be made on the 30th June next. The distinctive feature in the debentures issued by this Company is their perfect security; the amount of the capital subscribed, paid-up, and uncalled, and the general invested assets of the Company, as well as the large reserve fund, affording the most ample security to the investor. These Debentures are issued payable to bearer, and can therefore pass by simple delivery from hand to hand, without endorsement, and are free from any further stamp duty. They are also issued—to meet the requirements of Trustees and others—transferrable by Deed only, to be duly registered in the Company's Books in the names of the Investors or their Assigns.

It is very questionable whether that somewhat mysterious individual The Oldest Inhabitant," could conjure up in his recollection any Whit Mon day on which so many individuals of all ages and sexes, and of all grades and classes, were to be seen abroad as crowded the metropolitan thoroughfares yesterday morning. Nor, perhaps, could he say that he had ever seen a happier multitude ; for whatwith the loveliness of the weather, the thought of the en joyment of a country ramble free from the smoke and dust and din prevalent in the localities in which a large majority of that multitude are located, joy beamed on every face as they sped along the streets, and the cares of life seemed to have been put aside for the day. MG,Z= HAYIVIARKET. The entertainment at this theatre was of the usual diversified character. No novelty was produced, and we doubt if any had been if it would have been more appreciated than were the performances which were announced for last evening. The first piece was Mr. Suter's operetta, " The Miller's Daughter," which appears to gain in favour on each repetition, and in which that charming little actress, Miss Louisa Keeley, as Diana Wheatley, the miller's daughter, appears to so much advantage. Mr. Braid, as Alphonzo Chizzler, an adventurer, admirably sustained his part, and the same might be said with regard to the whole cast. This was followed by Mr. Oxenford's new comedy in three acts, " Brother Sam," in which Mr. Sothern added to his well-earned and deserved popularity. The dra matis persons were the same as on its first production, the, principal characters being sus tained by Mr. Sothern, Mr. Buckstone, Mr. Compton, Miss Snowden, and Miss Nelly Moore. On that occasion we so fully entered into the plot of the piece and the admirable delineation of the various characters by the respective performers that it is unnecessary for us to repeat what we said on that occasion. Th e per f ormances last evening were quite equal, if not superior, to its first repre sentation ; and the house, which was crowded in every part, was kept in a roar of laughter through out the whole piece. There can be no doubt that it will be as successful as that of Lord Dundreary, in which Mr. Sotbern so completely fascinated the public when he first appeared at this theatre. The performances concluded with Planche's revived comedietta of the' Green-eyed Monster," in which the other members of the company took parts, the whole giving that general satisfaction which inva riably attends the productions at this theatre. PRINCESS'S. The managers of this theatre needed no novelty , to attract a large holiday audience, and wisely ab stained from making any such unnecessary experi ment on the taste of the public. The two slight "Heart-strings and Fiddle-strings" and" An Ample Apology," served as prologue and epilogue to the apparently inexhaustibly attractive " Arragh-na 7 Pogue." The house was well filled upon the occa sion ; and this latest creation of Mr. Boucicault's rare skill and fancy was followed with an earnest attention which was only interrupted by the fre quent manifestations of the interest or the amuse ment which it awakened. The mingled drollery and pathos of the dialogue, the strangeness of the incidents and the admirable scenery in this new representation of Irish life and character, held the audience in a state of constant excitement and good humour, and looked as if they might continue to delight and amuse other audiences for scores or even hundreds of nights yet to come. THE ADELPTIL Taking advantage of the presence in London of distinguished author Webster determined to Dofr.,lVl, Leah," Mr. Ai l k , o . f ß V en ie j n a n m a in , the pay him the e compliment of giving another perform: ance of the piece in his presen ce. Accordingly the revival of the play took place on S a t urday evening, t when the house was crowded; and Miss Bateman, as the heroine, again won general plaudits, and, as in times gone by, was repeatedly honoured by calls before the curtain. Last evening " Leah " was repeated, and there was again a crowded house. Leah was never played better. So completely did the wonderful powers of Miss Bateman surprise, enchant, and enthral the audience that even the slightest intonation of the great tragedienne was most distinctly heard. The applause was again so enthusiastic that at the close of each act it was regarded as a call, and so treated. " Leah " was preceded by the "Irish Tiger" and followed by the " Steeple Chase," in which Paul Bedford was greeted with screeching applause. STRAND THEATRE. A considerable effort has been made at this en terprising little theatre to give a new phase to bur lesque, and an entirely new and original operatic parody founded on Mr. Harrison Ainsworth's his torical romance of " Windsor Castle," was last night produced on this principle. As the librettos of operas are proverbially weak, so we suppose the librettos of the burlesques upon them are allowably feeble and devoid of verbal and mental power, as is undoubtedly the case with this new sample of the species, although Mr. Burnand has hp,d the framing of it. The music by M. Frank Musgrave is lively and Miss Ada Swanborough is indeed the chief per sonage in the burlesque, and her spirited singing, her very fine suggestive face, indicating a power that neither her training nor her acting has ever yet fully revealed, and her clever performance as the country girl, all make her the foremost person age in this new class of burlesque. Mr. Thorne contrived to get a little fun out of Anne Boleyn, and he was capitally made up, though we are never reconciled to a burly man represent ing a comely young woman. The best notion attached to the part is her singing some French nonsense verses, which are execrably bad. Miss Maria Simpson as Sir Thomas Wyatt, Mr. H. J. Turner,' as a silly old man, Miss Holt as the silliest of lords, Miss Fanny Hughes as a smart young nobleman, lliss Louisa Weston as a very pretty Lady Geraldine, and Mr. Fenton as a clever Herne, the Demon Hunter, all lent their aid to bring about a perfect success for this new effort in the burlesque line. If managerial effort can make it popular it will be eminently so ; but it will be as a musical, dancing, and scenic spectacle rather than a literary production that " Windsor Castle" will hold its place in the play-bills of the Strand Theatre. We must not omit to mention that two of the Gunniss family are introduced into an elaborate ballet, and were much admired and applauded; and that the piece is admirably put on the stage hand somely costumed, and in every way rendered as at tractive as possible. THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. At this favourite resort of holiday folks and viAitots to London, instruction and amusement._ go hand in hand—there the utile and dulce are combined in the homoeopathic quantities, but in large draughts, conveying health to the understanding and gratifi cation to the senses. Under the able management of Professor Pepper, every scientific novelty is laid hold of and placed before the public in a form both attractive and popular. EGYPTIAN HALL. Colonel Stodare has no cause to be dissatisfied with the amount of patronage awarded his elegant entertainment by the Whitsuntide holiday makers, every available nook and corner of the salon was occupied, and hundreds were doomed to the sad disappointment of returning from the hall, as ad mission to the entertainment was impossible. That such should be the case is by no means re markable, for although but a short time ago Colonel Stodare was a stranger to the metro polis, his entertainment is of such an extra ordinary nature that a knowledge of it was only required to make it the special attraction of the day. The supernatural is presented by Col. Stodare without the degrading and disgusting humbug of a pretence to extramundane influences, and the pure art of what the vulgar call " conjuring" is exem plified in a manner which raises it to the dignity of a science, in which the experts and adepts alone can take their stand according to.tact, prestidigitation, and general aptitude. To enumerate, however, a tithe of the wonders performed with such neat handed facility would be to tax not only the patience but the credulity of our readers, who, like ourselves, must not only see to believe, but, when they have seen, will not know how much to believe. The wonderful trick with the half-crown and oranges is a poser even to the person who imagines he " knows a thing or two." The wonderful Indian basket trick of the lady supposed to be stabbed through and through, while she is laughing from an upper win dow at her self-immolation, is something marvellous to witness. The growth of plants and flowers before the eyes of the spectators, too, is quite a lesson for floriculturists—in fact, wonder follows wonder in such quick succession that each one present becomes firmly convinced that his " eyes are made the fool o' the other senses." After our first visit to Colonel Stodare's entertainment we strongly re commended an early visit, and on the present occasion we can only reiterate that advice, feeling assured that the amusement provided by the very Prince of Conjurors will both delight and astonish all who may favour him with their presence. THE OXFORD. Holiday audiences cannot keep pace with the novelties that are produced at the Oxford. Since Easter, when the last gigantic gathering of citizens and country cousins took place at this palatial hall, Donizett's neglected opera of " Adelia" has formed the subject of an operatic selection ; and the " Brother and Sister" of Sir Henry Bishop (con taining the exquisite " Echo Song" and some highly characteristic music that used pleasurably to stir up the past generation of play-goers) has also been de; lighting the frequenters. Then Miss Russell, the prima donna, has returned after a brief absence, and that is saying a great deal. The Whitsuntide audience were mightily pleased last night, little reeking, as it appeared to us, whether their prospec tive pleasures are about to be expanded or con tracted by the fate of Mr. Locke's bill, which is not unlikely, by the way, to share in the sacrifice of those innocent waifs and strays of legislation which are cut off in their infancy. One thing is certain, that the Lord Chamberlain will never be kept au courant with the insidious move ments of Mr. D'Auban:s legs, nor will the reporter ever be able to inform any board of green cloth the point where the laughter at " Orphee aux Enfers" ceases to be innocuous and assumes the form of danger to the state. The laughter at that said selection is not a bad substitute for an indif- As an ordinary rule, the announcement by a Ghost" that it was "the last few nights of his appearance," would be hailed as a welcome piece of news by those who do not take kindly to the supernatural. Last night's audience at the Can terbury Hall did not share in such grati fication, but their applause at " Hodge Podge (notified as soon about to retire into pri vate life), showed-that they were sorry to lose his society. The Mephistopheles of the " Hodge Podge," and other creations of the kind, Mr. Van dervell, looked very well, we thought, prepared, no doubt, at any moment, to go off in a body of smoke should the Lord Chamberlain be moved to his cap ture. 'We confess we shared in the regret of the audience at the news that " Hodge Podge" is to be withdrawn, because it is very properly said that, apart from the contemplation of the beautiful tableaux presented, the invention, perfected as it is here, is, in the language of the Hon. Mr. Norton, susceptible of almost inexhaustible application, and is likely to suggest and elucidate many points in the science of optics. The optical effects were splendidly produced last night ; the substitution of the mast for the boat on the rolling billows on which the fic titious prince is tossed, being a great improvement ; the combat with the hydra-headed monster a won der of broadsword skill and optical arrangement, the groupings admirably devised ; the illuminated waterfall pretty in the extreme, and the final exhi bition of fireworks, culminating in what is now famous as the ".Curtain on Fire," being refulgent to a degree. What with these scenic representa tions in this part of the hall, and the attractions of the picture gallery in the other, there is certainly no lack of the spectacular at the Canterbury Hall. Here, as at the Oxford, are selections from " Orphee aux Enfers," " Martha" (Miss Russell's singing in which is perfection), and " The Brother and Sister," supported by Miss Barrie and Miss Hayes, Messrs. St. Albyn, Green, Elton, Williams, Stuart, Kim berly, &c., with a full band and chorus of 40, un der the direction of Mr. Jonghmans. Mr. Arthur Lloyd is a host in himself. His supremacy over the sympathies and risible muscles was asserted the other day, when an audience at a concert given for the Paddington Hospital cut a speech of thanks for their benevolent assistance short by loud calls for " Arthur Lloyd." He has an inexhaustible budget of songs, all humorously written, and delivered with peculiar quaintness and with a total absence of effort. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Twenty-eight thousand five hundred and seventy five persons passed the turnstiles of these delightful gardens yesterday. The gardens, in their horticul tural aspect, presented a beautiful sight ; and the fine collection of " birds, beasts, and fishes" under went eager scrutiny by the vast crowd. The great and small carnivori, of course, had their hosts of observers ; and the magnificent aquarium, so rich in lessons to the scientific mind, and so full of sug gestion even to the most superficial, was closely packed throughout the day. The new and hand some monkey-house near the front entrance, thickly studded with plants ill order to promote the requi site humidity of atmosphere, was also much visited, and the eccentricities of the whole monkey tribe, from the slow and melancholy chimpanzee to the quick and twinkling marmozet, were fully developed for the occasion. As this is the breeding season, various interesting additions have been made to the stock of birds and animals, and amongst sonic fresh arrivals from abroad our joking friends the Japanese have sent us a wild pig and a pair of badgers, the latter being peculiar to Japan, and totally different from the European species. In answer to some anxious inquiries to Mr. Bartlett, it was found that the great sensation of the season, the " king penguin"—the plethoric, the mild, the affectionate penguin—was dead ; disease of the lungs, produced by some recent violent changes of temperature, having terminated its existence. For the accommodation of th' enormous crowd the authorities of the gardens have had erected a mar quee, in which during the Whitsun-week the visi tors can procure much-needed refreshment. There are the " feeding time" exigencies among the bipeds as well as the quadrupeds, and the permission to Mr. Trotman, the energetic contractor for the refreshment department, to set up this picturesque tent bore good fruits yesterday, for thousands of weary pilgrims had substantial food and delicious cooling drinks liberally provided for them, at prices within their means. The Volunteers. Yesterday several of the London Volunteer regi ments held a very instructive and pleasant field day under Colonel Erskine, the Inspector-General of Volunteers, at Penshanger-park, the seat of Earl Cowper, in conjunction with the Hertfordshire Volunteers. The London Corps left town by the Great Northern Railway, and were on the ground shortly before twelve o'clock. These comprised the London Rifle Brigade, under Col. Warde and Major Rose ; the Queen's (Westminster), under Lord Grosvenor and Lord Gerald Fitzgerald ; the North Middlesex (29th), under Captain Brown and Cap tain Maule ; and the St. George's, under Col. Lind say. The local corps, which were under the com mand of Earl Cowper, were the Ist and 2d Herts, comprising the Hertford, Ware, Bishop Stortford, Ifitchin, Waltham, and Cheshunt corps. The Essex Yeomanry Artillery were present with six guns. The whole force was divided into two brigades ; the first, composed of the Queen's, the North Middlesex, and St. George's being under the command of Lord Gros venor, with Major Charter as brigade major; and the second, composed of the London Rifle Brigade, and the local regiments, being commanded by Lord G. Fitzgerald, with whom was Capt. Bax, of the Stith Middlesex, as brigade major. The fight commenced by the first brigade, covered by the Queen's as skir mishers, advancing through the thickly wooded park, the enemy having been discovered posted in great numbers on an opposite eminence, between which and that occupied by the attackers was a deep ravine with a stream of water running through it. The Queen's quickly drove the enemy's skir mishers in, and then the first brigade deployed into line, and kept up a long and well sustained file fir ing, which made the surrounding woods echo and re-echo. The line then advanced down the ravine, " His Majesty the King of Prussia, acting for himself and on behalf of the sovereign countries and parts of countries, &c., which have joined his tax and duty system, and in the name of the other members of the German duty and commercialunion, &e., on the one part, and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland upon the other part, both actuated by the wish to regulate and extend the commercial relations be tween the Zollverein and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and territories thereto appertaining, have determined to conclude a treaty with that object, and have nominated as their plenipotentiaries the following (names given), who, after mutual exchange of their powers (which have been found proper and sufficient), have agreed upon and concluded the following articles : " Art. 1.
