POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. A DISHONEST POTMAN.—Timothy Leary, potman at the Marquis of Anglesea Tavern, Bow-street, was charged to-day, before Mr. Vaughan, with stealing a 10s. packet of fourpenny pieces, the property of Mr. Smith, the pro prietor. From the evidence of Mr. Brennan, one of the barmen at the above tavern, it appeared thitt Mr. Smith made up a packet of money amounting to £35, and then went out, leaving instructions with him to pay the amount to one of his customers, when ho called. After Mr. Smith returned he missed the packet of fourpenny pieces, and of course made inquiries about it. No person having been near the place where the money was but the potmau, suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and he was charged with the rob bery, which he denied. Brennan went down to the cellar where the prisoner was at work, and caught sight of him hiding something. He immediately caught hold of his hand, when the pieces all fell on the ground. He was then ordered to pick up the pieces and take them up to the shop, but instead of doing so he hid 21 of the pieces and delivered up nine, which he said were his own. Mr. Smith then gave him into custody, and on search being afterwards made by Brennan and the constable, the remaining 21 pieces were found hid in a hole in the cellar. Mr. Vaughan, after remarking on the enormity and fre quency of these crimes, sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF THREATENING A GENTLEMAN.—Thomas Daniel, a greengrocer, living in Lancashire-court, New Bond-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and using threatening language towards Mr. George Scurr, gentleman, of No. 33, Camden-road. Mr. Scurr said that on getting out of a cab in Oxford street, the previous afternoon, the defendant, who came out of a public house, and had evidently been drinking, said he would smash his - head if he did not give him some money. He told the defendant that he did not know him, and had never seen him before, and the defendant then raised a stick as if to strike him. He then went for a con stable, the defendant continuing to follow him, and the constable heard what the defendant said. Police-constable 55 D said the defendant ran away on seeing the complainant speaking to him. Ho went after the defendant, who said that complainant owed him £l9, and that he would smash his head if he did not pay him. The defendant said he had been drinking, and ho was sorry for what had occurred. Mr. Scurr said as the defendant was not sober at the time he did not wish to have him punished. All he re quired was protection. Mr. Knox said he would take the defendant's own recog nisance to be of good behaviour. THAMES. FEARFUL DOINGS.-A woman named Mary Ann Mulcahy, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting and wounding her husband, Michael Mulcahy, who described himself as " an independent gentleman living on his property." The parties are natives of Ireland, and it was stated by Police-sergeant Dillon, 19 K, that they had given much trouble, and had been in the habit of spending large sums of money which they acquired by the possession of houses of a questionable character in Victoria-place, Shadwell, where gross outrages and robberies had boon committed. The prisoner was jealous of her husband, and had assaulted him repeatedly. She had also beaten several women, and had been fined and imprisoned on sum mary convictions, and also convicted at the Mid dlesex Sessions. She had also severely wounded a woman, and compromised the matter by paying her a large sum of money. The complainant was generally a quiet man, but he had been committed with his wife for seven days for riotous and disorderly conduct. Last night his wife came home drunk and abused him. She threw a pail of water over him while he was in bed, and he struck her. She went out, and returned in a quarter of an hour armed with a brass candlestick, and struck him a tremen dous blow on the head with it, inflicting a deep and dan gerous wound. She then ran away. He went to a surgeon and his wound was dressed. His wife afterwards mot him in the street, and made an attempt to strangle him with a black silk neckerchief, in which she would have succeeded if the police had not interfered and secured her. Mr. 'Partridge—How long has her bad conduct lasted ? Maleahy—Only 20 years, sir; ever since we have been married. The prisoner—He knocks me about, but don't mark my face. lam black and blue all over my body. He kicks me and ill-uses me daily. The complainant—lt is no such thing. She fights with everybody, and is the terror of the district. Mr. Partridge ordered the prisoner to find bail to keep the peace for 12 months, and asked the husband if he would become surety for his wife. (Laughter.) The husband—No, certainly not. I shall hale peace now. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT A TAVERN.—WaItor Robert son and Walter Leader, respectably dressed men, were charged with the following disgraceful conduct. Mary Ann Boyd, barmaid, at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane street, said that at seven last evening the defendants came to the bar and conducted themselves very offensively. They accosted several persons who came in, asking them to treat them to drink, and they then called for tobacco. He informed them that they could not have tobacco there, and desired them to leave the house, instead of which they intruded themselves into another compartment filled with gentlemen, and grossly insulted them. The barman was called to expel them, when they assaulted him and Leader, and wilfully broke a pane of plate glass, valued at £2 12s. The police wero at length procured, and they were given into custody, but not until they had caused a great obstruction in the business. John Clarke, cellarman, said that he put the defendants out four times. He expostulated with them, and endea voured to get rid of them quietly, but he no sooner got rid of them at one door than they entered at another. Both defendants struck him, and made his nose bleed. Defendants, in general terms, denied the charges against them, and Leader complained that he had been struck. One of the gentlemen who had been annoyed, said that Leader, when he came to them, wanted to fight, and struck a gentleman, who returned it with interest. Defendant Robertson was fined 155., or seven days ; Leader, 205., and .£2 12s. damage or one month. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrival of home-grown wheat fresh up to our mar ket to-day was but moderate. The condition of the pro duce was good, and the demand for all qualities ruled steady at Monday's advance in the quotations. With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was but moderately supplied. On the whole, the trade ruled steady at full currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at quite previous rates. The supply of barley on sale was small. The trade was firm, and late rates wore well supported. In malt about an average business was transacted at full currencies. Oats were a fair supply. Tho demand for all descrip tions ruled steady at fully late rates. Beans and peas moved off steadily, and Monday's cur rency was well supported. About an average business was transacted in flour, at full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. ----- • Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

RicE.—A fair amount of business has been done, and quotations are in most instances well maintained, TALLOW.—Business has been rather less animated, al though quotations for both present and forward delivery remain steady. DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT.—The working-classes of Worcester had a grand demonstration on Saturday night against the present high price of butchers' meat. It was a procession of somo 300 men, who, headed by a band of music, and a banner, in scribed, " We want cheap beef and mutton, and no mono poly," paraded the principal streets. The men have re solved to abstain from meat until it gets cheaper. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STOCKBRIDGE RACES-TTIVItSDAY.

Our notice of this day's performances, we write not without profound emotion. It would be no exaggeration whatever if we were to assert that we do so after having been moved to our very soul by the divine strains of the most colossal of all Handers sublime Oratorios. And added to the exquisite sense of the admiration produced by. the wondrous choral effects of this most marvellous among the chef d'ceuvres of the grandest of the world's great musical composers, there comes to us, while writing, the poignant reflection that, for another interval of three years' duration, it will be impossible now to dream of listening to a performance of Handel in any way comparable. Those who have never at tended upon any one of these occasions—upon any one of the Four Grand Full Rehearsals— upon any one of the Three Days into which each of these Four Triennial Festivals (that have now been holden in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham) have been apportioned or subdivided—may perchance be disposed to regard as extravagant the terms in which we are thus con ! strained to comment upon these wholly unparalleled ' and purely exceptional .performances. Even to their imaginations, however, we might with some degree of confidence appeal for a justification of our enthusiasm—namely, by a simple reference to the statistics of the orchestral arrangements, by the merest casual allusion to the gigantic scale upon which the entire enterprise is carried out triennially. A grand organ that might almost vie with the world-wonder at Haarlem —an arched platform that, in the span of it, is exactly double the dia meter of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral—as many as four hundred performers on stringed instruments alone, violins, violincellos, harps, double-basses, as many as five hundred instrumentalistsi in all armed with every conceivable conformation (for musical purposes) of metal, wood, leather, and parchment —choristers gathered together by hundreds upon hundreds, from all parts of the United Kingdom, from great cities scattered over all parts of the European Continent—and, to crown all—confront ing this magnificent aggregate of Four Thousand Interpreters of the Mighty Genius of Handel—tens of thousands of listeners (during these few days set apart for the Triennial Festival), assembled together in a Palace of Crystal that might, both by its own intrinsic beauty and by its exquisite garden-setting, have reflected credit upon the architect of Aladdin, or upon a landscape-gardener fresh from Fairyland. One additional decoration alone there is that we would venture to suggest to the organisers of those stupendous Festivals, a decoration that we cannot but think, they might, with advantage in the hereafter, take into their serious considera tion as really worthy, to our fancy, of being no longer overlooked ! The omission of it, indeed, ap pears to us to have been a distinct oversight ! The thought of it occurs to us purely from our sense of gratitude to the memory of that wonderful genius to whose imaginings we are—under the God who inspired them—so immediately indebted for those incomparable oratorios. The one crowning adorn ment that we would, therefore, here suggest as not unworthy of enhancing still further the majestic appearance of The Great Handel Orchestra upon future Triennial Festivals, is simply, let us now add, some fitting effigy of Handel himself. If only it were a white marble bust, conspicuously placed above the Grand Organ in the centre of the .giant Orchestra ! A full-length statue would be preferable, no doubt, but merely a white marble bust would be sufficient. It would, at any rate, be far better than no effigy whatever ! The rain I clouds, threatening overhead during the last three or four days, at length discharged some portion of their contents to a burst of thunder and a flash or two of the most vivid lightning early in the after noon. As if by way of fitting prelude to those choral celebrations of the descending darkness and the torrent of hailstones experienced by the Israelites in Egypt immediately prior to their exodus into the wilderness. The only results, however, of what at one time augured an effectual damper to the day's enjoyment were an agreeable cooling of the atmo sphere within the Crystal Palace, and an appreci able freshening of the thirsty ground and drooping flowers in the garden and rosaries outside. Re membering that this was the last day of the Festival —not alone, according to a prevalent rumour, a merely nominal last day, but iii only too serious truth, and, beyond all possible doubt of it, the Last Day of this the Fourth of these Triennial Handel Festivals, the number of visitors surpassed that of the preceding days of the 1865 celebration— surpassed that of " The Messiah,' and that even of the Selections. Nevertheless, the wonder with us was, in very defiance of the fact of the immense assem blage brought together, that it was not even greater yet. For—added to the consideration, that day was the last opportunity afforded for the chance of an attendance—the Oratorio selected for performance upon it was of all the masterpieces of Handel the grandest, the sublimest, the most colossal in the majority of its choral effects. Eight and twenty choruses in all there are in this marvellous compo sition. With three Duets—five Solos—and four Recitatives. Among the soloists, still as chief so prano Madlle. Adelina Patti, as chief contralto Madame Sainton-Dolby, as chief tenor Mr. Sims Reeves, as chief baritone Mr. Santley. Together with whom were other artistes as eminent as Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Ruders dorff, and Herr Schmid. Before commenting in any way in detail upon this the last day's performance of the Handel Festival, we would here venture to express with all loyal re spect our profound astonishment and our exceeding regret at the same time that these most wonderful musical celebrations do not as a matter of course receive triennially, we will not say the patronage of the Crown, but the countenance and personal recog nition of the Sovereign and of the Royal Family ! The custom, the regular habitude, has now come to be that the Royal Box immediately fronting the Grand Orchestra remains from first to last untenanted. A custom this assuredly that, we might presume to remark, would be more honoured in the breach than in the observance. To us the non attendance of Her Most Gracious Majesty and of the Heir Apparent is utterly incomprehensible. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales evidences his taste for art by a sedulous attendance, seam after season, at the theatres and picture galleries—but to this, the grandest manifestation of all, in honour of the most subtly beautiful among all the Fine Arts—H.R.H. appears to our intense surprise to be wholly indiffe rent. Apart from the glory of the music itself, apart from the marvel of its unrivalled and unapproached performance by this mammoth orchestra, or rather by its four thousand occupants—it could not but have yielded to the Queen, or to any one among her Majesty's royal kith and kindred, a powerful and a very exquisite sense of enjoyment merely to have witnessed the magical effect produced by the National Anthem on the First Day, namely, on Monday, and the equally magical effect produced on the Second Day, namely, on Wednesday, by the Coronation Anthem on that the twenty-eighth Anniversary of her Majesty's own happy Corona tion. Lost opportunities they were, as affording exceptional evidences, even in this loyal and pros perous land of ours, of the enthusiasm that sweet sounds of a significantly typical character can awaken among great masses of our population. Not until a quarter past the appointed hour of three did the inaugurative notes of the Oratorio, those cull - Ai tuting the Recitative (of Mr. Cummings) " Now, there arose a New King," signalize the be ginning of the end of the grandest day of the grandest of all the Four Great Handel Festivals that have now been held. This passage, however, was chiefly noticeable as being the briefest prelude to what is really the opening chorus of the master piece--the Great Double Chorus, " And the children of Israel." Another and a more radiant Recitative alloted to the same artiste was succeeded by that wondrous indication of choral abhorrence, " They loathed to drink of the river—he turned their waters into blood !" Madame Sainton Dolby then took up loathely articulation of the precursive horrors of the earlier and fouler among the fearful plagues by which the land of Egypt was stricken—the abound in.rg frogs, and the incalculable multitude of blains and blotches disfiguring the human and brute crea ti‘on alike. It is the one isolated solo in the first of the two parts of this astonishing Oratorio. After the bounding accompaniment to the apparition of the frogs—came the swarming accompaniment of the k , xpening of the great Double Chorus then fol lowing, "He spoke the word--and then came all mannt'r of flies." Thereupon came the first great crashin,g triumph of the day, the Hailstone Chorus, with its gleaming, flashing, thundering cataracts and inundations of hail and fire streaming down and along the ground ! Nothing again could be grander than the sombre, muffled, awful intonations—as if imparting horror at the unutterable tribulation—of the great chorus next in sequence, " He sent a thick Darkness—even a darkness that might be felt." Succeeded as this marvellous chorus is immediately by the next one, " He Smote all the First-Born;" it precludes all possibility of any decorous demand for the repetition of the former of the two. So that the choral chaunt of darkness passed as usual with out the chance of being encored. " But as for His People," longer than the majority of these great choruses, won its due proportion of applause—its length alone precluding it from re petition. " Egypt was glad when they departed" passed without a hand of approbation—accepted seemingly as alone worthy of passing note, as com memorative of the relief of the Egyptians at the passing away from the midst of the Israelites. A startling effect, however, was—after a very judicious pause—produced by the two Grand Double Cho ruses, first of all " He Rebuked the Red Sea," and then, yet more declamatory still, " He led them through the deep as through a wilderness," joining on with it almost, " But the waters overwhelmed," all but secured to itself an encore—being reluctantly followed up in the hearing of many by the twin choruses closing the First Part of the Oratorio, " And Israel saw that great work," " And believed the Lord ;" both from Exodus. As nearly as possible, one hour after the commencement of the First Part, the Second Part began, that is, at a little after a quarter-past four o'clock, with the Double Chorus of " Moses and the children of Israel," and of " I will sing unto the Lord"—the close of the latter producing a truly wonderful effect. The duet between Madame Lemens-Sherrington and Madame Rudersdorff " The Lord is my strength," brilliantly though it was in the rendering of it by those accoin plished artistes, was chiefly deserving note as intro ductory to the grand and massive double chorus, " He is my God," and its sequent chorus " And I will exalt him." The rest of the Oratorio, compris ing within it some of the choicest morceaux among the solos, including Mr. Sims Reeves's " The Enemy Said," and Madlle. Adelina Patti's " Thou didst Blow"—passed off with acclamation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. STOCKBRIDGE RACES-THIS DAT. Blackdown • Sydmonton Ackworth , STEWARDS' PLATE.

Mr. Barber, the owner of The Clown, who came in second for the Members' Plate, having legally objected to Wind ham, the winner, for having carried short weight, has since withdrawn his objection, for what reason it is impossible to imagine. The conditions of the race were the following : " The Members' Plate of 100 soya., added to a handicap of 5 sovs. each ; winners of any handicap value 100 sovs. after June 13 (at eight a.m.) 51b., of two or one of 200 soya. 71b., or of one stake value 800 soya. 91b. extra (extreme penalty); the second to says his stake. Newcastle Turn in (nearly one mile). 22 subs." Now Windham won the following race the previous week at Liverpool : "The Molyneux Cup (Handicap) for all ages, of 300 soya. in specie, by subscription of 10 Bova., with 100 added ; a winner of any handicap after June 11 of 100 sovs. 51b., twice or 200101 b. extra. T hree-quarters of a mile. 30 subs." It will be seen at a glance from the above that Windham won a stake value .£4OO including his own stake, or £390 without it. The conditions of the Members' Plate were that any horse having won 300 SOTS. was to carry 91b. extra ; consequently, Wind ham having only carried 71b. extra, the race belongs to The Clown, independent of the barber's withdrawal of the objection. No horse having carried too much or too little weight without a declaration to that effect can be re corded the winner. The Clown being the legitimate winner of the Members' Plate is consequently disqualified for the Gold Cup Stakes, as he ought to have carried 71b extra, as the following conditions will show : The Gold Cup Stakes (handicap) of 10 soya each, h ft, with 100 added ; the winner of the Northumberland Plate 91b, and the second 41b, or of any other handicap value 100 soya after May 31 (at half-past eleven) 51b, of two, or of one stake value 300 sovs 91b extra (extreme penalty) ; the second to save his stake; Newcastle Turn in. As the Jockey Club laws of racing are in force at New castle, I shall quote the 64th rule with reference to the weight that Windham ought to have carried, which will show that Windham is no more the winner of the Members' Plate at Newcastle than the owner himself is, but that The Clown is the winner : RULE 64. In estimating the value of any prize no deduc tion shall be made, except of the winner's own stake and of any sum or sums required by , the conditions to be paid out of the stakes to the owners of any other horse or horses in the race—the entrance for a plate not to be deducted. And every prize, not in specie, shall be estimated at its adver tised value in sovereigns, and if such value is not desig nated it shall be taken at the cost price. The winner of the Queen's Vase at Ascot is exempt from any penalty for such winning, unless this prize is specially mentioned in the conditions of the race. Those who backed the Clown for the Members' Plato are entitled to their money, and the same remark applies to Curtain Lecture for the Gold Cup Stakes, as the Clown is disqualified for not carrying 71b extra. A similar case to the above happened two years ago at Ascot, when Knowsley won the Stand Plate, Umpire being second. It was discovered on the Monday following that the former had carried too little weight, and the race was awarded to the latter. A FRESH MAN. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS: The following bills were read a third time and passed— Halesowen and Bromsgrove Branch ; Barry Railway ; Aboyne and Braemar Railway ; Northampton and Ban bury Junction Railway (Deviation, &c.) ; Northamp ton and Banbury Junction Railway (Extensions) ; Peterborough, Wisbeach, and Sutton Railway ; Acton and Brentford Railway ; Beddgelert Railway ; Furness and Lancaster, and Carlisle Union Railway ; North and South Wiltshire Junction Railway ; Althorpe on-Trent and Lincoln Railway ; Cheshire Lines Transfer ; London and North-Western (Additional Powers, England) ; Bute Docks, Cardiff, (No. 2) ; Moses Gate and Ringley Branch Road; South Eastern Railway; Shrewsbury and Potteries Junction Railway. OPENING THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Lord EBURY presented a petition from the patron, ' presidents, and officers of the Early Closing Association, praying that the recommendations of the committee of 1860 may be carried into effect in reference to the opening of the British Museum and other national collections three evenings in the week, between the hours of seven and ten o'clock. LAIMS OF MR. . The Marquis of CLANRICARDE JACKSON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Govern ment would consent to lay upon the table of the house the papers in the Foreign -office relating to the claims of Mr. Jackson on the Russian Government. Earl RUSSELL said that the claims in question were of a private character, and as such the Government could not interfere with the matter. ILEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to:—Bishop's Castle Railway (Deviations, &c,); Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford Railway ; Callander and Oban Railway ; Leeds New Railway Station ; London, Chatham, and Dover, and London and South-Western Railway Companies ; London, Chatham, and Dover Rail- . way (No. 1); London, Worcester, and South Wales Rail way ; Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway (Extensions); Scarborough and Whitby Rail Way ; Tooting, Merton, and Wimbledon Extension Railway ; Tyne Improvement ; and West Yorkshire Railway. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Earl of Wincilsea's Estate, Navan and Kingscourt Rattray's Estate, and Southe rn R a il way . COTTAGES IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Mr. KTh'XAIRD , Sir G. GREY said he had but a short time ago received a report from the Inclosure Commissioners, but he would lay it on the table without the slightest delay, THE MACKAY GUN. In reply to Mr. J. EWART, The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the Mackay gun bad been sent to Shoeburyness for trial, and hid accord ingly been tried by the Ordnance Select Committee. No report had yet been received, nor was it usual to forward such reports to the Government until trials of that naturo were all finished. No order had been given to put this gnn through competitive trial with other guns, and it therefore would not be fired in competition with the service gun. It would be very inconvenient to lay the report on the table until a decision had been arrived at by the Secretary of War. He did not think it would be likely that the report would be sent in during the present session, and therefore it would be quite impossible to lay it on the table of the house. MASTERS IN THE NAVY In reply to Mr. CORRY, Mr. CHILDERS said it was not the intention of the Admiralty to take any further steps relating, to the aboli tion of the rank of master in her Majesty's Navy than those already taken at present. No order in Council would be issued on the subject. TROOPS AT ALDERSHOT. Col. S. KNOX asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was intended to grant field allowances to the flying columns at Aldershot ? Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not usual to grunt field allowances to such of the troops unless they were under the fire of the enemy. He would, however, make inquiry into the subject. THE LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT. Mr. HUNT said on Monday next he should submit a' motion to the house to the effect that the evidence taken before the committee on this subject disclosed a system of obtaining official employment by corrupt means, and that the evidence taken before the committee withrespect to the case of Leonard Edmunds shows a laxity on the part of the Lord Chancellor, and that such laxity is highly reprehen sible, and calculated to throw discredit on the high offices of the State.
