MONEY MARKET n COrIiiiIEROIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The desire of bankers, merchants, and others to have large balances at the end of the quarter when the balances are struck very naturally creates a strong demand for accommodation. Among the numerous applicants for assistance at the Bank are Several brokers, who are also in want of money. The rate in the open market is therefore firm at 3per cent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The share list of the Steam Biscuit and Flour Company will be closed on Monday next for Lon don, and on Tuesday for country applications. The West London Docks and Warehouses Com pany have made a call of £2 per share payable at th e Bank of London on the 21st July. The Metropolitan Ice Company (Limited) is to be wound up, and the Master of the Rolls has ap pointed Mr. John Lovering, accountant, official liquidator. The Finance Committee of the Corporation of th e City of London have invited proposals for the Second issue of City Debenture Bonds of £200,000, in sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, or £lOO each, for periods of not less than eleven, or more than eighteen years, bearing interest at the rate of 43- per cent. The bonds are secured by the net produce of the City duty of 4d. per ton on coals brought into London, and also upon the general revenues of the Corpora tion, Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to /teuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Itentes were GGf. 30c. Heavy. The English Stock Market has been firmly sup- Ported to-day, and a rise of per cent. has taken place. The purchase of £9,000 Reduced Annuities by the Government broker has had a favourable influence upon quotations. Consols for money are 8 9i 90, and for the account 90. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88i 89k ; Exchequer is. to 4s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1044 ; nfaced 4 per Cents., 90i ; and Bonds, 17s. prem. Foreign Securities, which were very dull and heavy at the opening, are now firmer. Turkish 6 pet Cents., 1862, are 74 ; do. Consolidds, 49 4 ; Mexican, ; do. New, 241 ; Greek, 204 21 ; Spanish Passive, 30i ; do. Certificates, 141 15 ; Italian, 654 66 ; and Confederate Loan, 6 8. Business in the Railway Share Market has not been very active, but in one or two instances prices have shown rather more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North-Western have each improved 68 . ; `:and Great Eastern, Metropolitan, and North Eastern (Berwick) each £1 ; Brighton, however,. have declined 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous shares remain in mode rate request at steady rates.

This bankrupt was described as late of the Stock Ex change and Knight's Hill, Norwood, a stock jobber, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The claims already on the file amount to nearly £22,000, bf which, however, a large amount is disputed. Amongst the credi tor are—Mr. Elmslie, solicitor, of Lombard-street, £l,OOO ; Messrs. Fortnum. and Mason, Italian warehousemen, &c., Piccadilly; £lOO ; Mr. Fellowes, gentleman, St. John's wood, £250 ; Mr. Edward Lewis, attorney, Great Marl borough-street (amount aisputed), £2,200.; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, bill discounter, Lombard-street, ..£375 ; Mr. Stehn, Old Corn Exchange, £l,OOO ; Sovereign Life Office, about £378; Mr. Turner, solicitor, Lincoln's-Inn- Fields, £1,000; trustees under the estate of the late Mr. Maudslcy, £2,000; Mr. Trollope, upholsterer, Parlia ment-street, £3OO ; Mr. Bainbridge, Winchester, £6,000 ; and the bankrupt states that he gave bills for this amount to be discounted to help him to pay off other loans, but has received no consideration for them. The following tailors figure as creditors :—Messrs. F. Barker and Co., 70, Corn hill, £75; Mr. Games, Finch-lane, £7O ; Mr. Smallpage, 43, Maddox-street, £6OO. The bankruptcy is ascribed to the petitioner's having been sued on bills for which he had no consideration. THE COMMISSIONER'S ADVICE TO COUNSEL. During the progress of a case, Mr. Sargood and Mr. Robertson Griffith had a trifling altercation upon some unimportant matter, and his Honour said that he wished Counsel would really confine their attention to the business before the Court, as a great deal of time was wasted in private quarrels which were most uninteresting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) TEBB T. LEE---AGENTS AND LAWYERS-A LITTLE PRO FESSIONAL SCENE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an auctioneer, against his porter, to recover damages alleged to have been incurred in 'consequence of the defendant's having delivered a wrong article to one of the bidders at a public sale. Plaintiff came to the court at tended b y an agent, who, greatly to the indignation - of the attorneys regularly prac tising in the court, occupied a seat at the registrar's table, and held in his hand a bundle of papers. In the course of the case the two legal gentlemen alluded to expressed their annoyance whenever the agent interfered, and upon one occasion his Honour asked for a paper, which the agent said he had mislaid. Again a muttered objection was taken to his addressing the court, and the judge having occasion to leave the bench for a few moments, one of the attorneys, who appeared to be unable to restrain himself any longer, rose and exclaimed somewhat imperatively (pointing at the same time to the agent), " Who is that gentleman ? Is hs an attorney ?" Before any answer could be given to that question, Attorney (No 2) broke in with, "Ah ! who is that per son ? I should very much like to know who he is. (To the agent, in a loud voice) —Who are you, sir? I should very much like to know who you are." Mr. Wilson (the registrar)—lle is an agent. Attorney (No. 2) —What right has he to occupy that seat. Attorney (No. 1)—I shall object to his remaining in that scat any longer. Mr. Wilson—He is not standing by the side of the plain tiff, but merely sitting down. I have given him permission to occupy that chair. Attorney (No. 2) —Then I object, and say it would not be allowed at Clerkenwell. Attorney (No. 1) —He must not occupy that seat any longer. I call upon you, sir, to retire. Agent (smiling)—Oh !I am sure I have no wish to in trude at all. Mr. Wilson—You can remain where you are. Attorney (No. 2) —Indeed he cannot. I say it is most improper and unfair to the legal profession. That chair is not a proper place for any agent to sit in. Attorney (No. 1 (with great warmth)—l call upon the agent to retire from that seat. The Agent—Oh, I am sure I will retire. The agent then left the chair, notwithstanding that the registrar desired him to remain, and took a seat behind that apportioned to the legal profession ; the case resulting in a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MA.RLBOROUGH-STREET. STABBING A FEMALE, AND ASSAULTING a POLICE CON STABLE.—John Win. Selling, a groom, living at 3, Chester mews, Belgrave-square, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, with stabbing Anne Williams, who described herself as employed in army works, and also with assaulting Police-constable Georgo Wilson, 15G C. The prosecutrix said -Last night as I was walking , along Berkeley-street, the prisoner and five or six others came up to me, and one of them said, Where are you going to-night ? Will you have a drop of gin ?" She re fu ed, stating that she was going to see her aunt, and one of the men then pulled up her clothes, and the prisoner took out a knife and stabbed' her in the side of the head, wounding her and saturating her with blood. Mr. Mansfield—Where was your head dressed ? Prosecutrix—At the station-house, by the surgeon. Mr. Mansfield—Did you know the men before ? Prosecutrix—No, Sir. Mr. Mansfield—How do you get your living ? Prosecutrix—By army work sewing. Police-constable George Wilson, 156 C—Between two and three this morning the prosecutrix came up to me and complained of having been stabbed with a knife. I asked if she knew who had done it, and she said she should know the person again. As I was taking her towards the hospital we saw a number of men who had been drinking atthe corner of Dover-street, and the prosecutrix pointed out the prisoner as the man who Stabbed her. He denied it. The men were about 100 yards from where the prosecutrix first spoke to me. The prisoner had been drinking, but . was not drunk when I took him into custody. Mr. Alausfi.eld—Was the prosecutrix sober ? constable—Not quite, Sir. While on the way to the station-house, an)" while I was speaking to the prosecu trix, the prisoner tried to get away, tripped me up, and we both fell. Another constable came to my assistance, and we got the prisoner to the station. I found a knife in his possession. Mr. Mansfield—Were there any traces of blood on it, or on the prisoner's hands ? Constable—There were not, sir. Mr. Mansfield—ls there any certificate from the doctor? Constable—No, sir. Mr. Mansfield--There ought to be a doctor's certificate in sill cases of stabbing. I will remand., the prisoner for seven days ; but as there is no witness to the matter, and the case rests entirely on the evidence of the prosecutrix, I will take two sureties in £so' each for the prisoner's ap pearance in a week. RETURNING FROM CREMORNE.—liarriett Watkins, about 20 years of age, wearing a white figured silk dress, a white crape shawl, and a turban hat with a large white feather, and whose appearance was somewhat that of an Oriental Sultana, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with wilfully damaging the hat of Mr. Wm. Thomas, gentleman, residing at 43, Albemarle-street. Mr. Thomas said-LThe prisoner accosted me in Albe marle-street between 2 and 3 this morning. I met with a constable and asked him to see the prisoner away. He declined to do so, saying he was not on duty. The prisoner tried to prevent me going into my hotel. The porter then came out, and the prisoner seized my hat and kicked it against the railings, smashing it so that it is not worth anything. 'What I object to is the treatment I received. Prisoner —He brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home, and because he would not keep his word I took his hat. Mr. Thomas—Oh! that is not the case. She rode inside the cab with two friends of mine, but I was outside. Mr. Mansfield—Then you did not bring her from Cremorne ? tt _ _ Mr. Thomas—Oh, no, it was my friends. Prisoner—You and your friends brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home. Allwood, 186 C—l saw the complainant and the prisoner struggling together. The complainant could not got his hat away, and the prisoner smashed it. Mr. Mansfield ordered the prisoner to pay 10s. for the damage, and a fine of 55., or 14 days in default A LORD OF THE CREATION. -MURDEROUS ASSAULT.- Henry Waters, described as a runner to an outfitter, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Ann Smith, whose appearance in the witness bOx created great sympathy and indignation. Her face was contused and swollen, and her eyes blackened. ike was very ill and weak from loss of blood. The prisoner and the complainant have been cohabiting together for some time as man and wife, and their con nexion has been a most unhappy one. Tho prisoner has frequently beaten the complainant, and on one occasion he broke her arm. She was under medical treatment in the London Hospital. She forgave him that outrage. Yester day evening, when he came home, his tea was not ready, and he expressed his displeasure, and said ho expected his meals to be ready when he came home—that ho was lord and master - of the house, and that he would be obeyed. Some words ensued, and the prisoner kicked and beat the woman in a savage manner about the head, face, and body. She escaped from the house, covered with blood, and made known her ill-usage to Adam Can-, a police-constable, No. 40 11, who went to the house, and found the prisoner in bed and asleep. The prisoner said he was greatly provoked and abused by the *oman, and that she was continually using a very foul tongue. Mr. Partridge—Why do you live with her ? You have ill-used her More. You ate a great brute. I sentence you to three months' imprisonment with bard labour. 100 10 1 , 0 1 0 100 rtii SUN, LOINfioN, WEDNESDAY EVE ING, JUNE 28, 1805.

MANCHESTER, June 17.—The business for yarns in the export market to-day has not been large. The . difficulty is caused chiefly by the advancing tendency of the raw material and the consequent high prices which spinners are obliged to ask. There are plenty of orders in the market, but not available at the extreme prices required by spinners. A fair business has been done by those who have been willing to meet buyers on rather easier terms, but the market . closes rather tame. In the home trade market the extreme rates demanded by spinners also check business. Manufacturers are unable to pay the prices asked without incurring great loss upon the cloth to be made from the yarns offer ing, and this alone keeps them from operating. In the cloth-market sellers say we have not for some days past found buyers willing to follow the advances required by manufacturers, and which they are compelled to ask in consequence of the higher prices of yarn and cotton. A fair busi- ness has been done in re-sale lots, bought on spe culation when prices were lower, and now offering on easier terms than manufacturers can afford. There has, indeed, been as much cloth offering for resale to merchants under such circumstances as from other sources of supply. The position of the manufacturer is • rendered worse by this state of things, and it has been quite impossible for them to obtain orders at prices which would at all approach to remunerative rates. The India accounts are of a nature to discourage shipments to that quarter. They are from Calcutta to the 19th, and Bombay to the 20th At Bombay, 71b. shirtings were sell : . ing at 14s. per piece, which is the price which manufacturers demand for them in the Man chester market, and as shipping and other charges would be upwards of 3s. (say, 35 per cent.), purchases to ship would be attended with loss. Nearly all the goods purchased recently have been taken for speculation, and will probably have to come into the market for resale. To-day our quotations have been necessarily rather higher (from the still upward progress of cot-ton and yarn), but there have been very few offers making for cloths suited to any market. Buyers, indeed, are disposed rather to offer less than give more, and the transactions have been few and of small amount. LEEDS, 27th.—The markets in the cloth halls this morning have not been characterised by much ac tivity, the attendance of buyers being rather limited, and their operations not being extensive in any par ticular kind of goods. Still, though purchases were miscellaneous, the aggregate amount of business (lone was not much less than is usual for Tuesday's market. Plain cloths of good make are in fair demand, and thick goods for Canada and the United States are moving off, so that there is little or no accommodation going on either in the halls or in, the hands of the manufacturers. The latter are mostly in full employment, and they are able to keep prices steady. Indeed, from the recent ad vance in the prices of wool those of goods have more an upward than a downward tendency. Norrixcaum, 27th.— There was a moderate at tendance at this Exch ange -hall to- d ay. Th e d eman d for lace yarns was st ea d y, and the f u ll ra t es o f l as t week were made. A t o l era b le amoun t o f b us i ness was done in hosiery y arns, and previous rates were well supported. Silk s fi rmly ma i nta i ne d th e ra t es of last week. Bro wn nets had a mo d erate sa l e , an d prices underwent n o i mportant alterat i on. Roc lIDALE, 26 th.—Although there has not been the activity to-day which is sometimes seen at our market, there was a sound and buoyant feeling. Both in the plain and fancy department sales were effected without difficulty and to a fair extent. Since our last report, too, the condition of things has been satisfactory, both to the merchants and manu facturers. Buyers, however, are unable to explain the extremely high price still demanded. The popu lar notion some time ago was that when the cotton market approached to anything like its normal state it would powerfully influence the prices of woollen goods in favour of th e buyer. This, however, has not proved the ca se , b ut rather otherwise, for most good kinds of wool pre now dearer than they were before the recent London sales of colonial fleeces began. There was more inquiry to-day for the superior kinds of Yorkshire goods, which fetch ex treme prices, but woollens of a lower class are rather a drug in the market, and prices are not by any means firm. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. FERGUSON.—The death of Dr. Robert Ferguson took place, after a few hours' illness, on Sunday, at his residence, Ascot Cottage, Wink field, near Windsor. He was taken unwell at 10 o'clock that morning, and was dead at 6 o'clock. The late Dr. Ferguson was in his 65th year. He received his medical education at Edinburgh, at the medical school of which city he gained much praise. He was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1837, after going through the preliminary grades leading to that proud position in his profession. As far back as 1823 he had obtained the degree of M.*. at Edinburgh. The late Dr. Ferguson was a physician extraor dinary to the Queen, and p h ysician-accoucheur to her Majesty throughout her confinements. He was formerly Physician-General to the Lying-in-Hospital, and was prin cipal physician to the King's College Hospital, and also Professor of Midwifery at King's College. Among his written works of note, his book on "Puerperal Fever" stands pre-eminent. LAND TA X.—Yesterday a return was issued show that in the year ending March 31st, 1864, the net quota of land tax was £1,094,164 19s. 11id. ; the amount of surplus under £5 in each parish, £8,913 3 s . 4d.; the amount of surplus eacceding £5 in ea c h par i s h £L7,336 17s. ; .the amount of surplus allowed t o th e co llectors by the district commissioners, being sums under £5 in each parish, £ 8 , 829 135.; and the amount of surplus allowed to the assessors by district comm i s sioners with the sanction of the Treasury, £2,680 13 s . - lid. The amount of surplus land tax paid over to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, pursuant to the Act 24 and 26 Vic., c. 91, was £54,544 as. 4d. " A Florence letter," says the Sicle," states that the strike of the Paris cab-drivers has exercised some in fluence on the similar class in the Italian capital, the saucy independence of whom is proverbial. A depilation of these men having gone to the authcrities and claimed the with drawal of a certain tariff, their demand was immediately acceded to. The•Monchni Theatre at Verona has just been destroyed by fire. The building had only a few days before been taken by M. Pinta's equestrian company, and the flames broke out in the stables behind the stage. Five horses were burnt, as well as part of an adjoining house, but no person was injured. Viscount and Viscountess Sydney had a select party at dinner last evening at their residence in Cleve la ad-square. SPORTING INTELLIGENO. ODMAINI RACES-TUESDAY. The Hampshire "campaign" opened on Bartley-Leath to-day. The attendance was very large—much larger, in fact, than has been known for some years. The weather, Which is generally wet at Odiham during the races, was an agreeable exception, which was enjoyed by the numerous company of ladies who graced the stands and carriages. The influential supporters of the turf and the bookmaking fraternity were amply represented, the ring being well filled. There were no special features in the racing re quiring comment here ; suffice it to say, the day was gene rally a disastrous one for backers. The principal race of the day, the Odiham Handicap, brought out but four of the 22 "coloured," the winner turning up in the outsider Sur vey, after a good race.

Thor, who refused to join his horses, and was very fractious at the post, caused a long delay, but on the flag being dropped Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, in the middle Of tho course, showed in front, followed by Portugal and Viper next the rails. Within the distance Viper drew up to Thor, whom he challenged opposite the Stand, but never reaching him, was defeated after a good race•by a neck; two lengths separated the second and third.

After a slight delay a good start was effected, the most prominentbeing Opposition, Sweet Ann. and Novice, The Squire lying next the rails on the far side of the course, well up, the others nearly in a line, with the exception of Venturous and Maid of Usk, who brought up the rear. They ran thus to the distance, where Sweet Anne and Opposition came out in the middle of the course, but iu a few strides Opposition was in trouble, where upon the Squire challenged Sweet Anne, and heading the Marquis of Hastings's filly at the half distance, won a good race by a neck; Opposition was third, two lengths from Sweet Anne; Novice was fourth, Chicken Hazard fifth, and Duchess of St. Albans and Miss Harriette wore next, close together.

Surney was very fractious, and bolted out of the course several times, but being led to the post he jumped off with the load and made play, followed by Harkaway and Basquine, the favourite lying last. After going about three-quarters of a mile Harkaway drew up to Surrey and took the lead for a few strides, after which the pair ran side by side, closely fol lowed by Basquine. Trapeze dropped back some three or four lengths, till near the half mile post, when he drew up, and the qnartett entered straight in compact order. Half way up Trapeze wap beaten and dropped back, and at the distance the race appeared to rest between Surney and Harkaway, who commenced an interesting struggle, but Basquine coming again (though ridden from the distance) opposite the stand, headed Harkaway, but never quite reached Surney, who won by a head; Harkaway beaten half a length from Basquino ; Trapeze was several lengths behind the third.

A Proverb has been brilliantly defined as " The Wisdom of Many and the Wit of One." And ac cording to a familiar example of one of these same delectable morsels, compounded from the concen trated essence of wit and wisdom, it has long ago been remarked epigrammatically that " Variety is Pleasing." It cannot, therefore, be any matter at all for wonder that the Second of the three days of The Handel Festival should have proved (as it has) to be an especial favourite. It comes intermediately this year between The Messiah and The Israel in Egypt, and consists avowedly of SELECTIONS. For that matter, it is, in consequence, a repetition for the most part of the preliminary performances of Friday last, the day judiciously set apart by the organisers of these Triennial Celebrations for what was called The Grand Full Rehearsal. Upon those precursory performances we have already, in these columns and at considerable length, com mented. Our sufficiently ample and detailed critique upon them, in fact, appeared in a late edition of our journal of that very same evening. In remarking, therefore, upon the superb repetition of the same selected masterpieces this afternoon, we are constrained, as it were, in spite of ourselves, to bear in very vivid recollection that we are here perforce going, very much indeed, over the same ground. Ground delightful enough for ourselves to traverse, ground that we cannot by possibility very readily tire of, yet ground, for all that, that has, so to speak, been so very recently and minutely mapped down, and topographically expatiated upon, that we must needs refrain, so far as may be at all practicable, from any unnecessary reiteration, by us, of opinions already pronounced. Regarded simply as " Selec tions," the three-and-thirty productions taken from this most Sublime of all Musical Composers, and set down upon to-day's Programme, were, in two respects, very remarkable indeed—remarkable, that is, in the first place, for their relative diversity, and in the next place for their harmonious combi nation. They consisted—these thirty-three care fully chosen works, picked out deliberately from among all the wondrous masterpieces of Handel— of fifteen from Saul, of three from Samson, of three from Acis and Galatea, of two from Solomon, and of ten from Judas Maccabeus. An exaggeration of attractions, to say the very least of them, suffi ciently diversified ! And, added to this special and peculiar charm of to-day, an excep tional charm distinctive of it, as the Second or In termediate Day of the Three, there is that astonish ing combination of attractions (yet more marvel lous in their variety) belonging to them all alike— the numerous and gigantic attractions ly ing (beyond the wondrous works performed) in the mass of the performers, in the army of artists peopling that wonderful amphitheatre of seats, built up semicircle above semicircle into that stupendous Orchestra. Conspicuous among these artists, the first and foremost in the profession, whether attention be paid to the singers or to the instrumentalists. Soloists, comprising among them a tenor like Mr. Sims Reeves, a Soprano like Mdlle. Adelina Patti, a Con-. traltn like Madame Sainton Dolby, a Bari tone like Mr. Santley. Turning again to the instrumentalists—Four Hundred of them drawing simultaneously the bow across the strings, having at their head a violinist as accomplished as M. Sainton. Five hundred orchestral performers, alto gether, in the midst of a multitude of choristers, numbering (with them) the now well-known grand total of four thousand' in all. Appropriately enough, there was performed, this day, with mag nificent effect, that great choral chef d'ceurre, from the oratorio of Solomon, " Zadok the Priest," popularly known as " The Coronation Anthem.' Appropriately performed this afternoon, we say, by reason of to-day being the 28th anniversary of the . Coronation of her 3.lajestr the Queen. An anni versary calculated' to distinguish any day at the Crystal Palace, as a gala day, thrice welcome among the loyal lieges of the Sovereign. As the days of the Handel Festival number up, now, alas, only too rapidly to their conclusion, Mi. Costa seems to get his four thousand more and more completely in hand. Hardly in any instance could the merest passing, momentary hitch be detected, even upon the closest observation.. In the piano, even into the rarer pianissimo passages, the mammoth choir, with its five hundred instrumental accompaniests, obeyed the sometimes almost imperceptible beck of the great conduCtor's 'wand. "How Excellent, 0 Lord," began the day's selection, at a second or two after the appointed hour of three—and so majes tically in its effect, that one might, by way of summing up its merits, echo its two opening words .after the prelude of the oboes and trumpets --"How Excellent !" After Madame Parepa's charming air " An Infant raised," came the fearful, sorrowful, ghastly chant "Along the AI onste'r Atheist Strode "—followed by the consoling sounds of " The youth inspired by Thee, 0 Lord, with ease the boaster slew"—and by the prolonged exaltation articulated in the chorus, " Our fainting courage soon restored." Crowned, this succession of choruses holt Saul, by the iteration of " llow Excellent, 0 Lcrd," and the noble and affecting strains of the " Halle lujah." The reverberation at the momentary pause immediately prior to the closing bar had an effect marvellously beautiful ! The charming combination of the stringed instruments and the tinkling bells in the Sinfonia preluded as exquisitely.• as on Fri day, Madame Parepa's lovely recitative, " Already, see the Daughters of the Land." After the chorus, " Welcome, welcome, mighty King," apportioned almost exclusively to altos and trebles, followed by, Mr. Santley's brief recitative, " What do 1 hear," and by the chorus, " David his Ten Thousand slew"—the vast audience listened with hushed delight to Madame Sainton-Dolby's deli ciously dulcet Warbling of that most haunting of all these melodies in Saul " 0 Lord,whose mercies: , So closed with admirable effect The First Part of the Day's performances—Part the Second following close upon the heels of it, with barely any perceptible pause whatever ; its opening chorus engaging the whole strength of the mighty choir in the grand and glorious sound of " Envy ! Eldest born of Hell !" Here came—as a matter of course one is almost tempted to say—an unmistakeable encore, the first encore of the day. Mr. Costa had no alternative but to accede to the demand for its repetition. Wonderful throughoutthis chorus was especially wonderful in the fading down as into a hushed and lamenting whisper of " Virtue sickens at thy sight !" As for the glorious March that then ensued—those matchless notes of woe and lamentation, the world-renowned " Dead March in Saul"—never has it been so superbly played, as it was twice played this afternoon at the Crystal Palace. the second time in answer to a de mand for its repetition that almost amounted to a peremptory mandate, So enthusiastic was the burst of applause elicited by it from the im mense assemblage confronting the giant Orchestra. Mr. Santley was as fine as ever in his noble deli very of Manoah's air from Samson, " How Willing my Paternal Love" finer even than on Friday last, admirable as was that, his earlier performance of it. An encore here, too, would have been inevitable, only that the first demand for its repetition was hushed—from a general eagerness to hear Madlle. Adelina Patti's refined and exquisite singing of the immortal aria " Let the Bright Seraphim"--perfected in the effect of it by Harper's lovely trumpet obligato accom paniment. This—the magical duct that is be tween the silvery voice and the golden trumpet —we had all over again—every delicious note of it ! " Let their Celestial Concerts all Unite brought the selections from Samson to a - close, with a choral chant that in the mere title of it might be typically applied to the Handel Festival choristers ' themselves, pealing forth those grand concordant sounds from that unequalled Orchestra. Then came the three choicest rnorceaux that could have been excerpted from Acis and Galatea—" Love in Her Eyes sits Playing," most tenderly delivered by Mr. Sims Reeves—followed in striking contrast by Mr. Santley's Polyphemean rendering of the recitative " I rage, I melt, I burn," and its sequent air, " 0 Ruddier than the Cherry"—in his matchless performance of which noble solo Santley achieved to-day a triumph exceptional in its brilliancy even for him self, great and successful artist as he is. The lullaby chorus, " May no Rash Intruder," though vociferously encored to-day, hardly seemed to "go " as well this afternoon as it went upon the occasion of Friday's Grand Full Rehearsal. Front the same oratorio (Solomon) there was given, as if in honour of the royal anniversary of to-day, the glorious " Coronation Anthem." Completing the day's performance came the ten selections from Judas Maccabeus—ten, we say, 'counting as two the Trio and the Chorus of that grandest of all paeans of triumph, " See the Conquering Hero Comes"—a chorus bringing the whole day's per formance to a majestic and magnificently effective conclusion. • Loss of the Ship Evening Star. ~~_ SOUTIIAIkIPTON, June 28.
