M1....' -- not strike me as being of surpassing merit, but the singing of Carlotta and Barbara Marchisio might well have Won for poorer compositions the hearty aPPlause Which the accomplished sisters yesterday received from a densely packed audience in an at mosphere not inappropriate to a concert in honour of the poet of the infernal regions. Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace spring flower and fruit show, which has becom e an event looked forward to with pleasurable an xiety, took place on Saturday. As usual, the exhibits 'ere ranged along each side of the nave on stands extend ing from the tropical department at the one end to the crystal fountain on the other. The great extent of the 811°w may be imagined from the fact that there were ex hibited 200 stove and green-house plants, 70 Cape heaths, 250 azalea; about 200 exotic orchids, about 100 roses in Pots, and 70 pelargoniums, and all of these were equal, if not superior, to the specimens shown in previous years. A sPecially interesting class were the new and extremely rare plants in which series of exhibits Messrs Bull, Turner, Do wnie and Co., Paul, and some others produced some not only curious, but beautiful plants. In the centre transept the fruit was discovered in a most tantalising manner-beautiful melons with nectarines on the ono side and choice peaches on the other, with grapes clustering above them, and strawberries again above the grapes, looked tempting to a degree, and but that it was the to pre serve th e b eau t y o f th e di s pl a y th r oughout 'at) day one would have felt almost disposed to strike ou t th e negative in the notice affixed to the stand that "Visitors are requested not to tench the fruit," and in its amended form to have implicitly obeyed it. The plucked straw berries„ were th e fi nes t we remem b er t o have s o on at this time of the year, and the pine apples looked perfection. In this departmont one group of West India bananas, the Musa Cave:4Bl'U, challenged universal attention; it weighed ho less than 791 b., and was grown by John Carr, gardener to Mr. P. L. Hinds, of Byfleet. The roses and azaleas were exceedingly good, and but that we have seen so much done hitherto by horticul turists, we should bo disposed to say that improvement on those shown was next to impossible. The attendance was More numerous, and oven more fashionable than that Usually attending these shows, and the Palace, with the bright sun shining through its crystal walls and roof on th e elegant dresses of the ladies and the beautiful colours of the flowers, presented a most charming spectacle. The band of the Coldstream Guards and the orchestral band of the company performed an excellent selection of music, adding much to the life and gaiety of the occasion.

Opening of the Sailors' Home by the Prince of Wales.--This Day, The most extensive preparations have been made to re ceive the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his Royal Highness's tovisit the Sailor's Home, to open the new build ing of the establishment, the foundation stone of which was laid by Lord Palmerston. The new structure, which is of a very pleasing style of architecture, stands in the rear of the old home, and adjoins the Sailors' Church in Dock-street, in the immediate vicinity of the London and St. Katherine Docks. Flags and banners, with the royal standard, wave from all points of the new and old building in honour of the occasion. The shipping in the adjacent docks and in the pool have been decked out in the gayest of bunting, while the water side population of this district have made a great display to welcome the Prince to the far east of the metropolis. Flags have been suspended across the streets along which his Royal Highness will pass. Streamers and colours are waving from many of the houses, and the Royal visit seems to give rise to much rejoicing among the poorer inhabi tants of this busy neighbourhood. The streets leading to the Home were thronged, and it required a strong body of police to keep a clear passage. The doors of the building were opened at 1 o'clock to those who had been fortunate enough to obtain tickets to witness the ceremony, and a number of carriages, filled with visitors, kept arriving. . - - - The whole of the blue jackets now located in the house, and a large portion of the masters of the merchant shipping now in the Thames, have been allowed a position in the interesting proceedings of the day. The officers of the Royal Naval Reserve, in their neat uniforms, are also in attendance to give effect to the Royal visit. The Hon. Artillery Company, with their fine band, line the approaches to tho new building, and act as guard of honour. The Prussian, Turkish, and other foreign Ambassadors, and a large circle of the aristocracy, have been invited. His Royal Highness has fixed 3 o'clock for his arrival at the Home. He will be received by Admiral Bowles, the chairman of the Board of Directors, and other members of the committee, the Bishop of London, Captain Webb, R.N., the secretary, and others. The Prince and suite will then be conducted to the fine dormitory of the new building, which has been appropriately fitted up for the occasion. After an address has been presented to his Royal High ness, the Prince will declare the building to be opened. The procession will then be re-formed, and his Royal Highness will be conducted throughout the whole of the establishment, in the course of which the Prince will have the pleasure of meeting the many fine blue jackets of the British mercantile marine who are now in the port of Lon don, and who no doubt will give his Royal Highness a hearty reception. Arrangements have been made for a defamer to the visi tore. The new building will give increased accommodation to nearly 200 sailors. HONEY MARKET AN D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues to show an easy tendency, although the rates for ordinary bills have not been materially changed. The best short-dated paper is readily negotiated at 41 per cent., capi talists having a good supply of money at thelr disposal. Only £B,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have in several instances been of a favourable character. At Manchester prices of hall cloths and yarns have been well supported, while there has been a better inquiry for the Eastern and Levant markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been steady, with a seasonable inquiry for light fabrics. In the hosiery trade at Leicester there has been a decided improvement, while the lace trade of Nottingham has continued dull. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little variation to report in most branches of business. The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada have issued their report, in anti cipation of the half-yearly meeting to be held on the 31st inst. The net profits during the past six months have amounted to £14,120 75., which, added to the sum brought forward from the previ ous half year, leaves a balance of £14,300 lie. Bd., out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, less income tax, on the paid-up capital stock of the company ; that one half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per annum, and the usual charge for interest, amounting together to £3,861 10s. 9d., be carried to the reserve fund, in accordance with the provi sions of the royal charter of incorporation ; and that £250 be applied to the redemption of preliminary expenses. There will then remain the sum of £lB9 Os. 11d. to the credit of the next half-year's accounts. The report of the directors of the Scinde, Pun jaub, and Delhi Bank Corporation has been issued, in anticipation of the general meeting which will be held on the 30th inst. The accounts, which have been duly audited for the half-year ending the 31st December last, show a gross profit of £31,062 12s. 7d., including the balance brought forward from last half-year, after deducting inte rest on current and fixed deposits. From this sum £14,551 16s. 3d. has been deducted for current ex penses, and £12,008 4s. 11d. for rebate on bills and commission on acceptances running, £428 9s. 6d. for 5 per cent. on preliminary expenses, and £366 Bs. 2d. for bank premises redemption fund, leaving a balance of £3,707 13s. 9d. at the credit of profit and loss. Since the above period, however, losses have been incurred from the suspension of firms which will, it is estimated, absorb the sum at the credit of profit and loss and the reserve fund, leav ing £5,238 Bs. Id. still to be provided for. The report of the directors of the East India Irrigation and Canal Company has also been issued, preparatory to the eighth ordinary general meeting to be held on the 30th inst. The accounts of receipts and expenditure in England and in India up to the 31st of December last, less the detailed expenditure in the divisions for November and December, have been duly audited, by which a balance of cash in hand on the 31st December, ;Mt of £102,776 17s. 10d. is shown. The diree _.' - oors o the Madras Irrigation and Canal C o*Lpany have issued a report to the shareholders, previous to the twelfth ordinary general meeting to be held on the 29th inst. The accounts of receipts and expenditure in England and in India o up to the 31st of December last, less the detailed expen diture in the divisions from October to Decem ber, have been duly audited, and a balance of cash in hand and with the engineers, on the 31st of December last, of £184,821 3s. 9d. is shown. A large portion of this balance consists of the engi neers' expenditure during the three months between September 29 and December 31, and will be brought into the audited account of this current year in the usual course. Advices from India mention that the cultivation of tea in Assam was rapidly on the increase by both private and public enterprise, stimulated by the high prices realised for Assam tea in the English markets. The whole of the North-Eastern division of the Assam Company's estates had been acquired by the Northern of Assam Tea Company, while the original property of the latter was found upon actual survey to be much greater in extent and more valuable than was expected. Instead of 500 acres being the area under cultivation. no less than 750 acres were found to be in plant, and instead of the grant comprising 6,000 acres the actual extent was no less than from between 15,000 to 20,000 acres. It is also mentioned that the de claration of a 25 per cent. dividend by the Assam Company had led to the formation of many other similar projects, and the disposal of large grants of land for tea cultivation. The share-list of the Hunasgeria Copper Com pany will be closed on Wednesday next, the 24th inst. The subscription list of the North German Ship building Company will close to-day, Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 15c. Quiet. The English Stock Market has been very dull so far as business is concerned, but the quotations have shown great firmness. Consols for money are 901 t, and for the account, 89 ex div.

In the Railway Share Market business has been only moderately active, and prices, in several in stances, have shown less firmness. Bristol and Exeter, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Metropolitan and North-Eastern (Berwick), have each delined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines are quiet at barely former values. Numerous bargains have taken place in the A Stock of the Metropolitan Extension Railways of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company. The price is 3f to 4 prem., and for the fully paid up certificates 4f to 5 prem. There has been a further improvement for the Northern of Assam Tea Company, business having been done at 1.3. 2 prem.

MARK-LANE. There was a moderate, though by no means active, de mand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. As compared with the previous week, scarcely any change took place in prices, and a fair amount of business prevailed both in red and white qualities. The barley trade was quiet at barely late rates. Oats, beans, and peas changed hands at in most instances previous quotations. On the continent wheat and spring corn are in fair de mand for export at full currencies. The trade for bread stuffs continues in a most inactive state at New York. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week wore small. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,228 quarters of wheat, 18,465 barley, 59,176 oats, 2,200 rye, 183 beans, 46 tares, 6,623 linseed, 33,970 rapeseed, 4,087 sundry seeds, and 215 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market to-day, wore very moderate, both from Essex and Kent. The condition of the produce, however, was good. Owing to the limited number of samples on the stands, the trade opened with firmness, and factors held all qualities at the full prices of Monday last. Millers, however, were by no means disposed to operate freely, and during the whole of business hours the trade presented a very quiet appearance. At the close of the market a limited clearance only had been effected, and the rates current on Monday last were barely supported. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very moderate. Good and prime old Dantzic qualities were iu request, at extreme rates. In other kinds of foreign wheat there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of wheat and spring corn were in fair request, at fully late rates. With English barley the market was scantily supplied, but the show of foreign produce was tolerably large. The trade for all qualities ruled inactive, yet prices were un altered from Monday last. About an average business was transacted in malt, at late rates. The market was well supplied with foreign oats, but scantily with home-grown produce. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet prices ruled stationary. Beans wore in short supply, and the trade ruled firm, at full currencies. The few peas on offer changed hands at the full prices of Monday last. Tho market was scantily supplied. There was very little barrel flour on offer, and the flour trade ruled firm, at quite previous rates. • MUMMY PER IMP. 1121.11VAM. Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, 1863, per far 39s to 43.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on sale here to-day, in somewhat improved condition. The trade ruled inactive, and prices were rather easier. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were somewhat on the increase, and the quality of the stock was good. The market was well supplied with Scoth beasts, in excellent condition. Very few Irish beasts were on offer. Although the attendance of butchers was good, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and prices were rather lower than on Monday last. However, the primest Scots and crosses realised 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of Eng land, 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 871 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers. The total supply of sheep on sale was somewhat exten sive ; but the arrivals of English breeds —although rather in excess of Monday last—were only moderate. The mut ton trade ruled inactive. Good and prime Down and half brads changed hands at full prices, the top :figure being 6s 2d, and, in some instances, 6s 4d per 81bs., otherwise the quotations had a drooping tendency. The market was but moderately supplied with lambs, yet the lamb trade was dull, on rather easier terms. The gene ral top figure was 7s Bd—the extreme, Bs—per 81bs. Calves were in moderate supply and slow request, at last Monday's currency. For pigs the inquiry was limited. Prices, however, ruled stationary. - - - Per 81b to sink the offal. id s d I d s d Crse. & inf. beasts... 3 4 3 8 Pme crs-wool sheep 5 6 5 10 Second quality do ..3 10 4 2 Prime s'thdown d 0.6 0 6 2 Prime large oxen ..4 4 4 6 Large coarse calves. 4 2 4 8 Prime Scots. &c.... 4 8 410 Prime small d0......4 10 5 2 Cree. and inf. sneep.4 4 4 8 Large hogs —3 6 4 4 Second quality do ..4 10 5 4 Small porkers 4 6 4 10 Lambs....6s 8d to 7d Bd.

Since we wrote last there has been a fa ir amount of activity in the demand for wool at the public sales of colonial produce now in progress.

BOW-STREET. CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—A German named Richard Berner, aged 29, who described himself as having no occupation or home, was charged with stealing a tra velling-rug and coat from the platform of the South Eastern Railway, Charing-cross. The property belonged to an officer in the army stationed at Woolwich. Detective Sergeant Monckton said he was specially em ployed by the South Eastern Railway, and that about 11 o'clock on the morning of the 13th he was on duty at the Charing-cross station, when he noticed the prisoner loitering about the platform and approaches of the station. Suspecting that he was about to commit a robbery, he con cealed himself in order that he might watch. The pri soner had with him an empty bag. While he was concealed he saw the prisoner stoop down among some parcels that were lying on the platform, but at the moment a passenger came up and took them away. In about half an hour he observed he came on the platform again, and he seated himself beside some luggage. A gentleman came in and deposited a coat and rug, with a strap around them, on one of the seats, and then left them for a minute or two, the prisoner following him. As soon as the gen tleman turned into the office the prisoner turned back, and deliberately took up the bundle and walked off with it in the coolest way imaginable. He was leaving the com pany's premises with the articles, when he (witness) came from his hiding-place and took him into custody, telling him at the same time that he was an officer, and that he should take him into custody for stealing the property he held in his hand. He made no reply. On searching the prisoner two duplicates were found relating to wearing apparel which he had seen and believed to be stolen property. One of the duplicates related to a very handsomelyembroidered night dress, the other related to two pocket handkerchiefs, one markedJ.E.C., and the other C.P., ono pair of lady's slippers, and a child's robe elegantly trimmed. Tho officer to whom the rug and coat belonged was not able to attend, being on duty, but he (witness) had no doubt that if the matter was made public he would come forward as would the others of the other property. The magistrate under these circumstances remanded the prisoner. BRITI, Cam. Consol. Gold, Um Chiverton Clifford Amalgamated Devon G. Cons.

A POCKS CONSTABLE CHARGED WITH NEGLECT OP DUTT. —John Gee, a police constable of the C Division, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, on a warrant by order of the Commissioners of Police, with being guilty of neglect and violation of duty during his office of constable of the metro politan police force, and of being drunk when charged. Inspector Harrison, of the C Division, said the defen dant, who was a constable of the C Division, was on Wed nesday last reported, and on Thursday he went to the superintendent's office, but was found to be too drunk to go before the commissioners. He sent the defendant home, and told him to attend the following day, but he neglected to do so, and about ten o'clock at night was brought to the station by Sergeant Cook, 7 C, who found him in Wardour-street in a state of intoxication. He was detained at the station, and afterwards sent home, being told to attend the next morning at the Superin tendent's, but failing to do so, a warrant was applied, and when taken into custody the defendant was drunk. The defendant's answer to the charge was, that ho was drunk and did not know what he was doing. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, it was stated that the de fendant had only been two months in the force, that ho had formerly been in the army, and that he left with a very good character. Mr. Mansfield said ho was exceedingly sorry to find that a man who had gained a good character in the army should have fallen into the beastly/ habit of drunkenness. The defendant was now a lost man. He would not impose the full penalty, but the defendant would have to pay 20s. or 14 days. WESTMINSTER. A COrNTRYMAN IN LONDON.-PALTRY COMPLAINT.- William Ashford, a respectable looking young countryman, was charged with wilfully damaging trees by picking May in Chelsea College Gardens. John Tomlinson, gardener, employed as private watch man at the gardens, said he was there yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, when he saw the defendant pick a sprig of May. Ho went up to him and told him he must not do that, and instead of attending to him the defendant told him to mind his own business, and made a snatch at another branch and pulled two or three leaves off. He was then given into the custody of an officer who was in the gardens. Defendant said he was but recently from tho rural dis tricts, and after going to church on Sunday strolled into Chelsea-gardens. Being a countryman ho thought it no harm to pick a bud of May, and then observing a peculiar fan leaf he added that, and for so doing was locked up. Mr. AiDold had tho May which had been picked handed to him, it consi'blod of a mere fragment of a sprig, seven inches long, and a cOnclo of leaves. Mr. Arnold—ls this all he picked ? Policeman—Yes, that is all. Mr. Arnold—Well, it's ♦ery little. Its wrong to pick the May which is grown for public gratificatiop, but I shall only impose a nominal fine of Is. THAMES. HAMLET OF RATCLIFF.—A meeting of the parishioners " duly qualified" took place this morning at the Green Coat School, in White Horse-street, Highway, to elect eight vestrymen in the place or stead of those who retire by the uffluxion of time, and five auditors. Mr. Henry West, church Warden, in the chair. The hamlet contains 16,000 inhabitants, the ratepayers number about 2,000, and the attendance of parishioners amounted to 14 only. Mr. George Elnor, the vestry clerk, explained that notice of the meeting had been given in the manner directed by the act cif Parliament. The printed notices were posted on the door@ of the churches and chapels in the hamlet three weeks ago. The principal inhabitants had been in formed by circular of the meeting, and notices had been affixed to the wane in all parts of the hamlet. Mr. Nathan, a vestryman, and chairman of the Lime house District Board of Works, of which Ratcliff forms part, proposed the re--election, for three years, of Messrs. Bar rett, Creer, Charring - ton, Hughes, Randall, Shepherd, and West, who retired by the effiuxion of time, and Mr. Millin, a surgeon, in the place of Mr. Pf est, who had served for three years and declined to becom e a candidate again. He attributed the thin attendance of parishioners to the confi dence reposed in the present vestry. The proposition was agreed to. Five auditors of accounts were, after some delay, owing to the difficulty of obtaining candidates, appointed for one year. Thanks were voted the chairman and clerk, and the mooting adjourned. --- AN ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF " SAM SLICK, THE CLOCK-MAKER," with olucidatory notes by the author, will be published in the autumn by Mr. Bentley.

SPORTING NOTES. There was a considerable falling off in the attendance at the York meeting when compared with previous years. Considerable opposition was made against Gladiateur, who was at one time knocked out to 14 to 1, but those who were operating soon found out they had burnt their fingers, and the horse was soon afterwards again firmly established as first favourite. The late hour at which the races commenced on Tuesday afforded ample time for the sales, and likewise enabled the Londoners, who delayed their departure until this morn ing, to reach the course before the first race, in which The Inca, a Derby outsider from Spigot Lodge, who has figured among the 1,000 to 10 division, made his debut this season. His opponents comprised Minie, Lozenge, and Lady of Coverdale, all of whom were backed, the first -named having the call until his temper broke forth at the post, when he became friendless, and after causing some delay, he got off so badly that any chance he might have had was extinguished at the outset. Still, Minie managed to beat the high-priced Inca (a 600 guineas Doncaster yearling), who has turned out no better so far than his half-sister, Linda, at three years old, whose fine speed he exhibited for half a mile, and then gave up the ghost; a slashing finish between Lady of Coverdale and Lozenge resulting in favour of the Whitewall selling plate cast-off by a very short head. There was a great improve ment in the field for the Zetland Stakes, the principal two year-old race of the meeting, for which ten youngsters went to the post, minus any " dark" one of sufficient pre tensions to dispute the favouritism with Valentine, whose forward running at Lincoln, Doncaster, and Epsom gave her the decided call of everything ; Osiris, who finished behind Mr. Hodgman's filly at the latter meeting, being next in demand ; 10 to 1 was offered bar the two, and a longer price laid against Castanet, upon whom Fordham came with such a tremendous rush, after being disap pointed inside the distance, that Valentine, who had the ad vantage of " first run" besides, only just pulled through by a head—two strides past the post the "head" was the other way ! How true the running, and how moderate the first batch of two year olds, with Qui Vive at their head— until King Hal and Redan put in appearance—was strik ingly verified by to-day's performance of Castanet, who beat Osiris as far as Tina (behind whom was Capt. Gray's filly twice at Chester) did at Epsom. The announcement of ten starters only for the Great Northern Handicap caused both surprise and disappointment. The voyageurs by the five o'clock "express" from King's Cross, the pre vious afternoon, who left Finesse first favourite at Tatter sall's, were startled to find the mare struck out at 40 minutes past 4 on reaching York, where Revival's non-starting was also announced. La Toucques coughed so badly this morn ing, whilst at exercise, that Mr. de Mongomery, who was present, at once made up his mind not to start her, and she was scratched at half-past eight o'clock. The next and most important victim of the pen was Buckfoot, who, with his lenient weight of 7st 31b (including 51b extra for run ning second in the Chester Cup), had been first or second favourite for this event since that race ; and as it is the general opinion he would have won at Chester if Carroll had " come sooner," the Great Northern looked a "gift" to him. Mr. Barber started a couple, and tried the cutting down game with Macbeth (with whom he declared to win, The Clown being amiss), but could not improve upon Helen's Chester Cup position of fourth, the first three berths being occupied by Cathedral, Stanton, and Sidewind. The Stand Selling Stakes introduced us to the first of Tom Bowline's progeny in Jolly Boy and a filly out of Relic, the latter of whom won cleverly, but did not cause much com petition at the hammer. When the numbers went up for the Knavesmire Plate, the "plungers" betted odds on Lion with avidity, to recover their losses on the pre vious race, in the face of so large a field ; nothing else being backed except Roderick Random, who was stated to be 2st better than the winner of the Craven Stakes. The favourite had evidently not forgotten his Chester work, or must be a worse horse than he has had the credit of being, as he cut such a very bad figure amongst this moderate lot that we were not surprised to find The Duke not quite so steady after his defeat ; nor did the Ring appear to entertain a very exalted opinion of the "lion tamer," as 1000 to 10 was laid several times against the winner of the Derby after his victory. Roderick Random was bred by Sir Lydston Newman (amongst whose year lings to be sold on the Monday after the Derby is an own brother to him), and was bought by Mr. Haig for 200 guineas. Donnybrook diposed of his hali-dozen opponents, in cluding the quondam Great Northern favourite, Finesse, without much difficulty ; and the Tally-ho Stakes, with £5O added by the Yorkshire Hunt Club, was carried off by Cemerosa, a daughter of Orest, upon whom high odds were betted, although opposed by Owetwick and Mischief, the first and second in the hunters' race, wherein the running of the pair, who met at 31b. difference in weight, was re versed. At the Bath meeting, this week, there will no doubt be some startling changes in the Derby betting. The Four teenth Triennial has King Hal and Qui Vivo engaged, and one of them should win, my preference being for the former. For the Bath and Somerstshire Stakes I expect the judge will place— BUCKFOOT 1 RED CAP 2 LITTLE GOY 3 Cambuscan or Fille de l'Air will win the Beaufort Cup. The Western Stakes has King Hal and Qui Vive again amongst the entries, and the former ought to win unless Lord St. Vincent should bring out his slashing colt Redan, which would make it a near thing between the two. Accident looks most formidable in the Welter Handicap. A FRESH MAN. THE FRENCH OAKS. PARIS, May 21.
