Trains will run from all the principal stations on these lines between 30 and 100 miles from London, at unusually lOW fares, to include conveyance by the Brighton line f rom London to the Crystal Palace and back where needed, as well as admission to the Rehearsal. In concurring with t he Railway Companies in this arrangement, the object of the directors of the Crystal Palace Company has been to afford to persons residing in distant parts of the country almost the same facilities for attending the Festival as are available to residents in the metropolis. staTtihoz the entire charge for the day excursions from between Northampton and Watford, on the t tendo n and North Western line, will range from ss. 6d. ° 78 . 6d ; from Dover and Sevenoaks, on the London, li ath am, and Dover line, it will be either ss. or 6s. ; from ert sraouth, Salisbury, and Southampton, on the London an d South Western line, 7s. 6d. ; from Brighton, Worth ece., Cs. ; and from Oxford a nd Cambridge day excur -5:311s Will run at correspondin g rat es . A cons id era bl e nu mber of c h urch choral associations and institutions have inti mated their intention to avail themselves of these trains. f„The excursions f or t h e longer distances will start on the 4 ( 1 , returnin g on th e 24th.

These k e „ f ., will include conveyance from London to the Cry stal Palace and back, as well as admission to the rehearsal. 0 13e sides the excursion trains for the rehearsal day, most tickthe railway companies have undertaken to i ssue re t urn „ ets availabl e f rom S a t ur d ay, th e 24 t h i nst., to Saturday, e lst July, so as to embrace the three days of the Festival. he directors of the Crystal Palace, to avoid the chance of " 11 3 - error, have advised country residents to gain precise Information from each company's own bills. The rehearsal will commence at one o'clock precisely. It, 1 „ ' 4l be an epit ome o f th e w h o l e f es ti va l, com prising por es of the works to be performed on the Monday, Wed nesda Y, and Friday of the succeeding week, viz., "Mes 'n,” " Israel in Egypt," and a selection from Handel's 131°4 important works. The solo artistes engaged to take Part in the rehearsal and at the festival are—Mdle.

W e i ss, H err S c h mid, and Mr. Bentley. • I 'hat those•who -have never witnessed the effect of these peat musical celebrations may form some idea of their extent, it may be stated that the orchestra is double the W idth of the Dome of St. Paul's, and that at one perform ken of "Israel in Egypt," at a previous Handel festival, U PWards of 37,000 persons were present. The tickets for the rehearsal are now on sale in London !` 7 B. d 601., but t wo d ays before the festival they will be !thrawn, and the price increased to half-a-guinea. It ,w11:)1: thus be seen by the excursion rates as above that very " ral terms have been placed within reach of country visitors, ~.T h e sal e o f t i ckets for the festival days has been very peat, Additional seats are being made.

The idea N-e r3T generally prevailed that the directors th:" . ", as soon as circumstances permitted, lower more ir official minimum, and thus make their rate : 41 unison with that out of doors. The event 4. 7, the refore, created no surprise.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE J. X. LORD-THE AUTHOR OF THE LECTURE "THE AXE, THE CANOE, AND THE RIFLE." This bankrupt was described as a naturalist and public lecturer, of 48, Brunswick -terrace, and to-day he came up for his order of discharge. The debts are as follows: —Debtor, to unsecured creditors, £1,818; one creditor secured, £6; and liabilities on accommodation bills, £356. The assets show a deficiency of no less than £2,134. The secured creditor is Mr. W. Fritz, artist, of Museum street, who holds certain pictures used by the bankrupt in illustrating his lectures, given at the Egyptian Hall in 1863, such pictures being of doubtful value, except as regarded the lecturer. The causes of the bankruptcy aro stated to be losses incurred in consequence of the non success of the entertainment given at the Egyptian Hall, called " The Axe, the Canoe, and the Rifle ;" and also law costs incurred in defending au action brought by Mr. Leitch, the painter, for pictures for that entertain ment. Mr. Bazley appeared for Mr. Leitch, the painter, and asked for further account; after which the case was adjourned. Central Criminal Court—This Day. _ _-_-~. - OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE CASE OP THE MESSRS. BARRY. The charge of conspiracy against the Messrs. Barry, of Meriton's-wharf, and Arnett, Thorne, and Sedgwick, three of their employes, for conspiring to defraud, was resumed this morning. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, The counsel for the prisoners asked whether there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury. Mr. Baron Martin felt there was not. Mr. Bovill and Mr. Gifford, for the prosecution, argued at great length in favour of the case going to the jury . They both pointed out the particular portions of the evidence on which they relied. Mr. Baron Martin said ho was of opinion that the evi dence was insufficient to make out tho charge against the prisoners. No doubt it was a wrong act to do as had been proved, but then every wrong act was not an indictable one. The jury, therefore, under his lordship's direction, re turned a verdict of not guilty against all the prisoners. Mr. Bovill said that being the result, he should pro ceed with another of the indictments. In this instance the charge against the prisoners would be for obtaining money from an insurance office by falsely representing that pro perty had been destroyed which was, according to the evidence h should call before the Court, not the case. Tho learned counsel then proceeded to call witnesses to prove that previous to the fire on the 7th of Juno, 1864, a merchant named Baxter had 394 bales of jute, which had arrived by the ship Sebastian Cabot. After the fire he went to the wharf, and was told that 390 of tho bales had been destroyed. A claim was made by the owner of the jute on the fire-office in which it was insured, which was paid. This property was afterwards found not to have been consumed, and it was upon that fact he should make out the charge against the prisoners. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder). James Whalley Catherill and Edwin. Dresh were indicted with forging a will, and also for conspiring to forge and utter the said will. The learned counsel stated that the Treasury prosecuted the two prisoners for forging a will purporting to be that of Eleanor Saunders. The prisoner Dresh, at the trial of Catherill v. Jeffreys and Kiddie, in the Probate Court, Was cited in support of the will, and at the termination of the trial the evidence of the prisoner Dresh was so unsatis factory, and the judge expressed so strong an opinion, that the present prosecution was instituted, (The case will occupy the remainder of the day.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN.—Mr. John Williams, of No. 25, Guildford-street, Russell-square, and Mr. Francis Par kinson, of No. 24, Jermyn-street, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner. From the evidence of police-constable Morgan, 55 0, it appeared that about 12 o'clock last night he saw the de fendants, who were both drunk, in Coventry-street, they having been turned out of Scott's Supper-rooms. As they were very noisy, and caused a large crowd to assemble, and great disorder, the constable took them to the station. One of the defendants, in answer to the magistrate, said "He was very sorry for what had occurred, but it was after dinner." Mr. Mansfield ordered the defendants to pay 10s. each or be committed for seven days. AN UNGRATEFUL FELLOW.—ignaCe Mandl, a ILIA garian, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with the follow ing robbery : Mr. John George Kuhn, restaurant keeper, of Hanover street, Hanover-square, said that a short time ago the pri soner came to him begging to assist him. He took the prisoner from a feeling of sympathy into his house, and on Monday last having taken off his coat and waistcoat and placed them on a bin in the cellar while he washed his hands, he observed the prisoner directly afterwards with his hand in his waiscoat pocket. The prisoner then ran away, and on examining his pocket he missed £5 from it. Meeting the prisoner last night in Regent-street he gave hlm into custody. The prisoner, through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said he did not take the money out of the pocket, but picked it up, it having fallen out, Committed for a month. ..................... THAMES. ASSAULTING A P OLICE -CONSTABLE.—Mr, Tames Jupp, the chief mate of the ship Sea Queen, from India, lying in the West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting police-constabl e Bagnell, 328 K. The complainant stated that at one o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner stretched across the footpath in High street, Poplar, and fast asleep. He aroused him, and told him to get up and go home, or he would be robbed. The prisoner muttered that he had been already robbed, and cared for nothing and for no one. He left the prisoner, and upon returning to the same spot 15 minutes afterwards found him seated on a door step. He requested the pri soner to kayo, and he said, "Do you think I am a fool." He again requested the prisoner to leave, and he repeated his bad language, and added, "I know as much as you do," and shoved him. He told the prisoner not to shove him, and that if he did it again he would take him into custody. The prisoner did shove him a second time ess , and said, " Get aw ay. " He said, " That's my busi n; I will go when I liko." The prisoner then struck him with his fist on the breast. He said, " You will go with me to the station, and laid his hand on his collar." The prisoner struggled to get away, and said, " I have to go to my ship at six this morning, I will ---. well make you pay for taking me to the station-house." Ho did take prisoner to the station and locked him up. _ The prisoner, a tall and gentlemanly-looking man, said he was really v ery sorry. He arrived from London in his ship the Sea Q ueen yesterday (Wednesday) morning, and he was drinki ng h eavily yesterday evening ; his own home wh en the affair occurred. he was near Mr. Paget—You are an officer of a ship, and we look for good conduct and sobriety in a m a n of your position. It is very disgraceful in you to be drunk and assaulting a police-constable. •It is very rare to allow a fine to be paid for assaulting a constable. You ought to sot a better example. It is with very considerable doubt I don't send you to prison without the option of paying a fine. I shall inflict the full penalty, which is 45, or two months' imprisonment.

There is little but the Hunt Cup and a Biennial or so to attract any groat crowd on the Wednesday, and the day is generally a quiet one in every respect. The Fern-hill Stakes was won by Gardevisure very easily, and Siberia carried off the Coronation Stakes after a set-to with Desiree. The Hunt Cup brought out its usual large field, 25 appearing on this occasion, and Union Jack being made a very warm favourite. He looked certainly as fit as horse could look, and is much improved and thickened since his severe illness. But though he ran into third place a game horse with all the weight, he had to succumb to Gratitude, who has now recompensed Mr. Robinson for one or two disappointments with her. The 7th Ascot Biennial was another turn for the fielders in Farewell's defeat of Zambasi. Mr. Bowes's colt, generally supposed during the winter to be the best of John Scott's lot, won cleverly. Janitor made an example of his field in the 13th Triennial by winning in a common canter, and Tbreadbare by making all the running in the Visitor's Plate won, after a good race with Lady Hylda and Amber. The attendance was above the average of Hunt cup days. The Fern-bill Stakes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 2-3 r-olds, 7st 21b, and 3-yr-olds, Ost ; fillies and geldings allowed 31b.

Princess of Wales finished a bad third; Bion dine was fourth, and Henri last, beaten off.

The ruck who were lying closer in their wake being headed by Mas tar Richard, Prince Plausible, Windham, Harcourt and Baldwin, and to these succeeded Flatterer, Swordsman, and Lady William. Rising the hill Vabalathus with Flatterer dropped away beaten, and the lead was then taken up by Camball, who with Union Jack lying wide on his left came on with the running, closely attended by Gratitude, Peon, and Mr. Sutton's colt to the enclosure, when tho heavy weight gave in, followed in a few strides further by Peon and Black Draught, leaving the two to fight it out. At the Stand Gratitude drew up, and heading the Baron's filly within a dozen strides of the chair, won very cleverly by half a length; a length and a half separated the second and third, a head only divided the third and fourth, and a simi lar distance separated the latter from the fifth.

Tho Poulterers' Arms Tavern was an antiquated-looking building of three or four storeys, overlooking the roof covering of the old Poultry Market. It has recently come into the possession of Mr. Lovegrove, the present occupier of the Rose and Crown Tavern, also in the market, who was putting it into thorough repair. The tavern business was still being carried on by Mrs. Lovegrove, who slept in the house, the rest of the inmates consisting, it is under stood, of the barmaid, cook, servant, and potboy. The tavern was closed between 11 and 12 last night, and at the time of their retiring to rest there was nothing to excite their suspicions, everything appearing comparatively safe, and it continued in this condition until half-past five this morning. One of the city police on duty in the market on passing along the passage noticed a strong glare of light through the fan-light window over the door, and in a very few moments the flames rolled out with great force. The tavern being built chiefly of lathe and plaster, the front covered with timber, the flames spread with astounding rapidity. There were very few persons in the market at the time, but some who were near at once made an effort to rescue the inmates, who could bo seen at the window crying for help. It was evident that the fire had obtained possession of the staircase and prevented their escaping, and, from the peculiar construction of the mar ket, it was difficult to get a ladder up to the windows where the poor creatures were appealing for aid. Some of the bystanders got on to the roof of the market, and had their exertions been observed by the terrified inmates of :he burning tavern, the lives of the unfortunate creatures who are believed to have perished might have been saved, but the smoke appeared to overpower them, and so were rendered nearly helpless. The fire-escape men got some short ladders up the passage, but as they were on the eve of being placed against the windows Mrs. Harris, the land lady, and the potboy threw themselves out on to the passage and they were much injured. The servant, it is stated, was got out through the roof, but there is much reason to fear that the other inmates, the barmaid and the cook, perished. So rapid did the fire progress that the flames spread right along the frontage of the adjoining premises of Mr. Ed wards, coffee house-keeper, fronting the market, and those being almost entirely of wood, they soon presented ono mass of flames. The people were in the shop preparing for the day's business, but it is represented that there were between 20 and 30 lodgers in WA upstairs at the time of the outbreak, and their scramble to get out of the place may possibly be conceived. Intelligence of the fire having reached the brigade stations in the City, the engines were speedily on the spot, but owing, wo understand, to some delay in procuring a supply of water, some time elapsed ore they could be got into operation. In tho mean while the flames, uncontrolled, extended fiercely, the Poulterers' Arms and the coffee-house were alight from top to bottom, and the large leaden roof over the poultry market had ignited, threatening destruc- tion to the whole of the market. Tho fire had also reached the houses in Ship Tavern passage, and to the houses No. 20 and 21, Lime-street, in the occupation of Mr. Barker, baker, and Mr. Severn, the upper portion being let as offices to merchants and others. Very fortunately there was little wind. What there was blew from the east right over the market, but it was so trifling that it might almost be called a calm. Had it blown with force, nothing could have prevented the flames sweep ing away the whole of the market and surrounding houses, most of them built in the old fashioned style—lath and plaster. The steam fire engines on being got into operation played with great effect. They worked in Limo-street, the hose being taken up the narrow passage on to the roof of the market, and ttlso on to the roof of the adjoining house, where the firemen bad a command over the con flagration. While the brigademen wore thus engaged the blazing buildings fell in with a crash, but happily no one sustained any injury. Eventually the fire was prevented extending beyond the limit already described. It is scarcely neces sary to state that the whole of theso premises were de stroyed, and other property very seriously damaged. By 9 o'clock the fire was entirely extinguished. No search as yet has been made for the remains of the missing females, owing to the heated and dangerous state of the ruins and surrounding walls. The firemen have in structions to proceed with a search as soon as practicable. As to the origin of the fire nothing precise could be gleaned. The occupiers is believed to be insured. VICISSITUDES OF ACTORS.—During the Common wealth the actors could only carry on their profes sion by stealth. Those who survived the wars united, however, and made up a tolerable company out of the general wreck of the theatres. An attempt under the Pro tectorate to re-open the Cockpit, and present a. few per formances with great ;.action and privacy, was followed by the irruption of a guard of soldiers, and the imme diate imprisonment of the ors in their stage dresses. On their releas e , th e y con fi n ed th e :: re p r esentations to the country, not venturing nearer town t.11.7,n Kennington — occasionally appearing at Holland House 1; bl. ore se - audience of noblemen and gentry—though at k.".hrist- fl . ect mas and Bartholomew Fair time, by dint of bribing the officer who commanded at Whitehall, they were enabled to act for a few days at the R e d Bull, In St. John- street, running the risk of arrest and interruption on the part of tho Roundhead soldiers. The actors were in those days reduced to great want. The position of comparative respectability which they had attained after much painful struggling was wrested from them again. They were to be accounted among 4 ! vagrom men " once more. But a change came at last. Upon Crom well's death, the Commonwealth crumbled to pieces, the King had his own again—and the players theirs.—Once a Week. POSTAGE BETWEEN BELGIUM AND HOLLAND.— The ratifications of the postal treaty between Belgium and Holland have just been exchanged at Brussels. The postage of letters between the two countries will, therefore, soon be reduced to one-half of the present charge. The crops in Ireland are reported from all quarters to be progressing most satisfactorily. Potatoes, hay, wheat, flax, and oats are all in a forward state, and the most beautiful weather continues throughout the island. a SHARE 'OSSK 100 100 10► 100 100 190 100 100 10 100 100 SIT DI 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 60 all 1.1.0 40 7.8.3 8.13 4.3.6 214 3 321 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7 li 18.18.9 30.17.6 J all all all all 100 100 100 100 ICO 100 1. 0 48 71 81 P2f 914 124/ 4 Jo' 63/ 143; 4i 1 136 k f 71 104} ITIES.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SrFAItRi4 took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Assam Company ; Kilrush and Kilkee Railway, and Poulnashery Reclamation ; Sidmouth and Budloigh Sal torton Railway; and Sidmouth Railway and Harbour. TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. Mr. GOSOHEN moved the second reading of this bill, which he contended was one that would confer great benefits.on a very numerous body of go: Women. The tests now in existence he looked upon as quite below the en lightenment of the present day, and he thought that nothing but the greatest good could result from the bill which he had the honour of introducing. The object of the bill was to remove all subscription to the 39 Articles, to throw open all academical degrees, without any test whatever to give a vote in academical affairs, and to admit all to certain emoluments from which they wore at present virtually altogether excluded. The bill was not to hand over to the Dissenter the emoluments of the Church of England, but to throw open to many of them that which they could not hope to attain under the present system of tests. He thought handing over and throwing open would be thought by the majority of the house to mean two totally distinct things. The great question which they had now to answer was whether they were prepared to maintain that all the emoluments and franchises of the universities should be retained for one Church which comprised but half of the population, but out of this half to those members only who were pre pared to take all those complicated tests now in existence. He thought the greatest good would result. to the Estab- . lished Church by the passing of this act, and trusted that a majority of that house would he of the same opinion. Mr. DUFF GRANT thought the bill one that ought to be generally supported, as it gave to the dissenters from the Established Church an instalment of their just rights to the benefits of our universities. Lord ROBERT CECIL said he did not object to the bill, because it adopted that which was known as the Cam bridge compromise to Dissenters wishing to take the degree of master of arts, but ho objected to it most strongly, because he considered it would deliver the government of the universities into the hand of Dissenters. He thoughtit of the highest importance that good religion should be taught at our universities in preference * to good classics. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. DODSON said the objection of the noble lord to the measure was founded entirely upon a misconception. The bill, which the noble lord did not appear to have read, did not throw over the government of the Universities to the Dissenters, it did not virtually separate the Church from the State, and it did not place the colleges on the same footing as the Universities. (Hear, hear.) On the con trary, it gave relief from some stringent tests, not from the teachers, but from those who come to those universities to be taught, and did that, in his opinion, which would re sult in nothing but good in the Established Church. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the bill. He could not see how a general education could be given apart from the religion of the country, and the question proposed by the mover of the second reading appeared to him to bo whether the religion of the Church of England was necessary to onabycthe university to do its duty. He was of opinion that was. Ho thought the lay tests ought to be altered and modified, and he was of opinion that the present regulation did not give all that to the Dissenters which might be safely given them. (Hear.) As the amendments that ho might suggest were not likely to be accepted by the supporters of the bill, it would be idle to vote for its second reading. Sir W. HEATIICOTE opposed the bill, because more was asked than could be fairly given. Mr. W. E. FORSTER supported the bill. If it was de sired to extend the honours of the University of Oxford to the Dissenters, he, as one of that body, must tell the house that it must be dealt with open-handed—there must be no distinction—all must be done in terms of per fect equality. He rejoiced to hear the right hon. gentle - - man the Chancellor of the Exchequer express an opinion that the tesl,s to lay members ought to be amended, and he only regretted he did not go a little further and vote for the second reading of the bill. Mr. G. HARDY contended that the universities were quite as much national establishments as the churches. (Hear, hear.) He opposed the bill this year just as strongly as he did on the last occasion the subject was under discussion. He never could support a measure which would, in the words of the hon. member for the City, admit free inquiries into the governing body of the university. [Mr. Goschen expressed dissent.! Ho denied that the members of the Church of England amounted to but one-half of the people of the country. That had been offered to be tested when the census was taken in 1861, but that proposal had been declined. Mr. NEATE supported the bill. Tho house would not now attempt for one moment to pass a measure exclusively for the benefit of the members of the Church of England, and therefore ho did not think that an act should continue in operation which would not now receive tho sanction of Parliament. Mr. P. HENNESSY said he should vote against the second reading of the bilL After a few words from Mr. Moxszu and Mr. Bou- VERIE, The house divided, when there appeared— For the second r ond;ner -zo6 Against it Majority —l6 The bill was then read a second time. Mr. C. FORTESCUE and Mr. SCULLY supported the bill. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill on the ground that it would produce the greatest perplexity, and spread dissen sion broad cast where it was of the highest importance that the utmost unanimity should prevail. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES ACT (1864) AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. WHALLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable the President of the Toard, in cases where all parties are agreed, to give p ar L , mentary sanction to landowners making railways through I::, l eir own land. The hon. ni,;:nber was addressing tho houso at a quarter to six when h o w : .: . s stopped by tho standing order of the house. BIRTH OF A PRINCE. Lord BURY brought up hes* Majesty's answer to the ad dress voted by the house on the pccasion of the birth of a Prince by the Princess of Wales. .11er Majesty thanked the house for their renewed expression of attachment to her PHEASANTS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. INNS OF COURT BILL. This bill passed through committee. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, widower of the Princess Anne of Hesse, has just been betrothed to tho Princess Alexandrine, daughter of Prince Albert of Prussia. AUG :MBER.
