HONEY MARKET AN CORIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A continued demand for discount accommodation %a kept up in all quarters, and very little, if any, r elaxation is expected either in the inquiry or in the term s upon which commercial paper can be nego bated till the end of the month, when all the re venue and other payments due at the termination of the quarter have been liquidated. The lowest charg e among the brokers is 3 per cent., which, as a Consequence, sends a large number of applicants to the authorities. The Stock Exchange committee have resolved 11 Poa the follnwing addition to their rules respecting s ettling-days, &c., in the shares of new companies : `And - that, in the event of the capital being issued shares, some partly and some fully paid up, the prospectus shall state the exact amount of each de kription." The shareholders of the London and Provincial 'larine Insurance Company will receive interest at t he rate of 10 per cent. for the half-year ending the 3 0th inst. :The share list of the United Warehouse Company ' ll l-1 close for the Continent on the 26th inst. ; that the Glasgow Jute Company will close for London !lid the country on the 27th inst. ; that of the 4 ndon Merchants' Company on the 26th inst. ; 4 4 that of the Chubwa Tea Company of Assam on the 6th July.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE SIR J. J. R. MACKENZIE, BART. This matter has been before the Court upon a great many occasions, and to-day the bankrupt applied for his order of discharge, the figures being very heavy, the debts and liabi lities being put at £195,000, and the assets depending upon the realisation of certain estates in the country which had been mortgaged to the late Earl Fitzwilliam and other creditors. Upon the last occasion the bankrupt was al lowed to pass by his Honour, against whose decision an appeal has been lodged by the assignees in the Court of Chancery. _ Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, said that it would be seen that the assets had been very greatly over-estimated, and instead of being in surplus of the debts were in a large deficit. It was very desirable that the accounts should be put straight, and certainly Sir James should not have been allowed to pass until this had been done. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, urged that an appeal upon a pure question of account would be extremely un desirable, and therefore Sir James would consent to award the costs. Mr. Sargood intimated that if the accounts were amended the appeal would be withdrawn. There were, however, certain matters which must be inquired into, and therefore an adjournment must be ordered. After some geEeral discussion another adjournment was ordered, it being understood that if certain amendments were made the appeal would be withdrawn. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) ABRAHAM V. BARTLETT AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover £2B 155., money advanced to defendants, and £5 17s. goods supplied, defendants pleading that the goods for which the money was advanced hall been destroyed by fire. Mr. Lewis, senior, appeared for the plaintiff, who is a furniture dealer, Mr. Beard representing defendants, who are furniture manufacturers Mr. Lewis, in opening the - case, stated that his client had employed defendants to make a parcel of furniture, and defendants required some money on account. Upon this plaintiff advanced a sum now claimed, and he (Mr. Lewis) could not understand how the claim could be disputed, though he understood that a very novel defence had been set up. Defendants now said that there had been a fire on the premises, and the goods for which this money had been paid were destroyed by it. Mr. Lewis contended that plaintiff could not be at all affected by this fire, as the goods which defendants were to have made were not completed at the time it happened. Mr. Beard on behalf of defendants took a technical objec tion to the jurisdiction of the Court, which was overruled. Some discussion then ensued as to the question of ac count between the parties, and Mr. Lewis endeavoured to show that defendants had not even commenced to manu facture the furniture, which was obliged to have been destroyed, and that the money now sued for had been paid to the use of the defendants. His Honour thought this would resolve itself into a pure question of account, because if defendants had made one chair, the form of action would not lje. Mr. Lewis said he would prove that nothing had been done Mr. Beard produced a number of invoices, and that the money paid had been actually handed over in payment for goods which were finished when the fire took place, and thus the property was vested in plaintiff, who must also bear the loss. _ _ _ His Honour thought this was a matter which might well be referred to the registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, as he could go into all the facts. Leave will be given to the plaintiff to amend his particulars of demand, and to de fendants to amend their pleas. Referred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.-Mr. John Griffiths, coach maker, of 27, High Wakefield, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with creating a disturbance during the per formance at the Princess's Theatre, and refusing to leave his seat when requested to do so by the lessee of the theatre. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap pealed for the defendant. Mr. Wm. H. Sleigh, treasurer at the Princess's Theatre, Oxford-street, said—Last night this gentleman occupied one of the four seats in the upper circle which had been booked by a gentleman in the morning. First of all, the boxkeepers requested him to leave the seat, and as he re fused to do so I was called by a boxkeeper. I told the defendant that persons had booked the seat in the morning, and that he must leave it, at the same time offering him another seat. The defendant caused a disturbance by not leaving the seat, and causing persons to stand up to see what was going on. The defendant was very quiet, but obstinate. I had no other alternative but to give the defen dant into custody. It is the duty of the box-keepers to see that persons who book seats have them. By Mr. Lewis—Until I spoke to the defendant he was perfectly quiet, and, in fact, he was so all the time. All the seats in the upper circle were not booked, but a good many were. Mr. Mansfield—lf a person takes a place already let the proprietor has a perfect right to turn him out ; but I do not know that he can proceed any further with it. I should be guilty of false imprisonment if I kept the defendant any longer in the dock, and he is therefore discharged. Mr. Lewis—lt is a gross case of interfering with the liberty of a subject, and I do not think for a moment that Mr. Sleigh could be acting under the authority of the re spectable manager of the theatre, Mr. Vining, in giving Mr. Griffiths into custody. Mr. Sleigh—l gave the defendant into custody on my own responsibility. • Mr. Lewis—Then you will have to answer for D. The matter will not end here, you may rest assured. Mr. Griffiths, with much indignation, exclaimed as he was about to leave the dock—" What have I done ? I have been dragged here and made to tread ground I have never trod before." THAMES. SHOCKING DESTITUTION. —Timothy Flinn, a poor, miser able creature, apparently about the middle age, was brought before Mr. Cooke charged with vagrancy. Childs, a police-constable, No. 193 11, s tated that he found the prisoner yesterday evening in'Well-street,White chapel, near the Sailors' Home, and he was begging of every person he met. Ho took the prisoner into custody, and a more wretched creature he had never met with. He saw the prisoner on Monday'last and gave him a ticket for the workhouse of the Whitechapel Union, and showed him the way there. The prisoner said he was turned out of the workhouse. He believed the prisoner had seen better days, and had been a mariner. Mr. Cooke—What is the matter with the poor man ? Childs—He has had a sunstroke. The prisoner, who was shivering and seemed half pal sied, said he would rather be in a workhouse than out of it. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was in a most deplorable condition, barefooted, and his clothes, or ra ther the remains of them, ware very fi lth y and rags Mr. Cooke said he would remand the prisoner until Monday, and directed inquiries to be made as to whether he had been turned out of the unionhouse or loft of his own free will. It would be unfair to blame the parochial authorities until the truth was known. Docx ROBBERlES.—Cornelius Culnan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Cooke charged with stealing a bottle of beer from the ship Sidney Hodges, in the East India Dock. The prisoner had been employed with others in loading cargo on board the Sidney Hodges. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Nunkell, the chief office; saw the prisoner and another man descending into the lower hold. He inquired their business, and they said they were going below for their coats. He watched them, and when they came up again ho saw a bottle of beer in the prisoner's breast coat pocket. He immediately gave him into the custody of Charles Douglas, a dock constable. Douglas said there were 500 or 600 casks of bottled beer in the lower hold of the Sidney Hodges, and produced a bottle of beer taken out of a cask. It bore the same brand and mark as the one taken from the prisoner. These rob beries were very frequent in the Docks. The labourers who had access to beer and spirits plundered them to a great extent in loading ships. Mr. West, the prisoner's employer, said he had been in his employ nine years and upwards, and he never heard of his being in difficulty before. Mr. Cooke said, in consideration of the high character received of the prisoner ; he should sentence him to 21 days' imprisonment only. SURGEON TO THE QUEEN FOR SCOTLAND.—We understand that Mr. James Spence, F.R.S.E., F.E.C.S.E., Professor of Surgery in the University of Edin burgh, has been appointed Surgeon in Ordinary to the Queen in room of .the late Dr. David Maelagan.—Edinburgh Courant. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A MUSIC WAREHOUSE.— Yesterday evening a boy, named Thomas James Clark, about 14 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Novelle, the music publishers, of Dean-street, Soho, lost his life by the following means. It appears the deceased was engaged in raising some bundles of paper to the top floor of the building by means of a lift, and while on the fourth floor he fell through the opening to the basement. Dr. Rogers of Dean-street was immediately sent for, and on arriving pronounced life to be extinct.

The Cup Day, so called on the locus a non lucenclo prin ciple, seeing there is no cup, unless the Queen's Plate can by a pardonable fiction be so called, is always the great day at Hampton." We do not even remember seeing the Water loo platform more crowded, or Vauxhall and Clapham Junc tion more densely thronged by expectant passengers, hope less, apparently, of reaching Moulsey Hurst to -day, than on this occasion. On the course the vast multitude extended many deep down to the half-milepost, and the drags, vans, and vehicles of all descriptions were more numerous than in past years. Of course the brilliant weather we are now enjoying had much to do with the great gathering. The A Division wore in force and kept the ground, and we were glad to see Inspector Tanner's - fade in the ring—a safe guard to watches and purses sadly wanted last year. The racing was about on a par with that of yesterday, neither better nor worse. Finesse won the Visitors' Plate very cleverly, and Calif r Ou, who always comes to Hampton, carried off the Queen's Plate in hollow style from her single opponent, Threadbare. The Manor Plate promised to be an interesting race be tween the two favourite; Finesse and Vixen, but Lord Annesley's mare was beaten at the distance, and Vixen won very easily. There was a good deal of speculation on the Northumber land Plate in the course of the afternoon, Caller Ou being the favourite, and both Revival and La Toucques being strongly supported. There were also some heavy transac tions booked on the Derby. Betting on that event is, in deed, to many one of the principal attractions at Hampton. The Bushy Plate, of 30 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each ; for all ages ; selling allowances. Half a mile. Mr. E. Brayley's Blackbird, 3 yrs, 7st 51b (£4O) (Cannon) 1 Lord Falmouth's Fairy Footstep, 2 yrs, sst 71b (.£4O) • (Butters) 2 Mr. Jones's .Concordia, 4 yrs, Bst 21b (£4O) (Morris) 3 The following also ran :—Mary Hill, Czarina, Catherine, King of Greece, Lady Wilde, and Mrs. Peggy. Betting-5 to 4 agst Blackbird, sto 1 each agst Czarina and Mary Hill, 6 to 1 agst Fairy Footstep, 10 to 1 agstLady Wilde, 100 to 8 agst Catherine. Blackbird jumped off in front follo*ed by Fairy Footstep, Concordia, and the rest of the field 'almost in a line. At the distance Cannon let her go, and the Fairy Footstep made an effort, she did not succeed in reaching the favourite, who won easily by three-quarters of a length ; three lengths be tween second and third ; Czarina was fourth, Lady Wilde fifth, King of ,Greece and Mary Hill the next two. The winner was bought in for 125 guineas. Fairy Footstep was claimed, and she goes into John Nightingall's stable.

Virtuous jumped away in front with a commanding lead, followed by Skirmish and Sisyphus, was never headed, and won in a canter by three fourths of a length. Three lengths between second and third, Knight of theta histle was fourth, Flageolet fifth. The last two were Hurrah and Lively Nelly. The winner was sold to Mr. J. Hughes for 125 gs.

NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE. 3to 1 agst Caller Ou (offered, take 4to 1) 7 to 1 agst La Toucques (taken) Bto 1 agst Brown Bread (taken and offered) SERIOUS MILITARY AFFRAY.—A. rather serious affair has just been brought under the attention of the Berks county police. It appears that on the Ascot Cup day Corporal Brown, of the Ist battalionColdstream Guards, was on the race-course with some of his companions, and while there a gentleman who had been rather lucky in his winnings treated the soldiers to champagne and other re freshments, and before he quitted their company gave them some money, which the corporal took charge of. The cor poral and his comrades then left the course to return to their barracks at Windsor , a nd noth ing more seems to have b e en heard of the party till the Friday morning, when it is stated the corporal was found in Queen Anne's Ride in a drunken condition by two soldiers of the Ist Life Guards. They left him, :and he was next seen by one of his com rades, and at two o'clock was again found by some of the Life Guards. Ile was able to walk to the military infir mary, when it was found that the poor fellow had received a fracture of the skull, about two inches long, from which the brain protruded. In the course of the day he became insensible. He states that the wound was inflicted by one of his comrades, while, it is supposed, they were returning through Windsor Great Park ; and that the corporal and another man fought with their belts or bayonets, espe cially as another soldier is confined.to the barracks from a wound in his head. Yesterday morning it was feared that the affair would terminate fatally, and it was thought advisable for a magistrate to proceed to the military hos pital to take the corporal's depositions ; but he being better in health the depositions were not taken. A strict inquiry will doubtless be made by the military authorities. 41 If 4411 6 i WWI 6 1' I 2 93 1074 8 1431# 3'l 9. 621 3 42; 1i 211 8' 135 lt2l i 74 IC4,i t 4 :031 41 31 4 1041 5 19j 19 1011 5 41 111 1 1031 1011 102 io:1 ITIES. 994 9 98 F 6 I 3 1 3 On the question being put for the passing of the bill, Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the insertion of the follow ing words in the 2d clause :—" Provided that the purchaser or purchasers shall maintain and keep open the railway, so that the same may be used for public traffic." Capt. STACKPOLE said the object of inseriing the words was to prevent either the Great Southern aild Wes tern Railway or the Dublin, Wexford, and Waterford Rail way from. purchasing the line and closing it altogether against the public, in order to benefit one or other of these railways. Ultimately the amendment was altered to the effect that the purchasers should be under the same obligations as the Bagenalstown Railway Company were at present. The.motiou of the hon. and learned membsr (Sir C. O'Loghlen) was then wrreed to, and the bill was read a third time. _ _ The Consolidation (Appropriation) Bill passed throm;ll committee after some remarks from Mr. AUGUSTUS SMITH. • ' _ _ . The Comptroller of the Exchequer. and. Public Audit Bill was read a third time and pal..sed. The amendments . to the rim Brigade (Metropolis) Bill were considered, -and- it was ordered for second reading on Monday. iam and York, from Dublin and Edinburgh, from Exeter and Aberdeen, from Oxford and Cambridge, from Gloucester and Limerick: At a quarter-past 1 p.m. the performance of to day commenced—a performance exceptionally inte- resting, even as compared by anticipation with the three grand days of the " Handel Festival" proper, for inasmuch as its Programme may be said to em- brace within it the very pick of all the rarer choruses and solos of the Monday, and Wednesday, and Fri day—of the Day of the Messiah, of the Day of the " Israel in Egypt," and of the intermediate Day set apart for the Selections.

Thy Name !" evidenced in a remarkable manner the majestic concordance of sounds that in all the grander choruses of these Handel Festivities seem, so to speak, to fill, to satisfy, to satiate the sense of hearing—sounds that so entranced the soul of the great composer, Meyerbcer, when, upon the occa sion of the last festival, he then for the first time - listened to them with an eager avowal of grateful and wondering admiration. Madame Sainton Dolby led the way among the soloists by her sympathetic and refined rendering of the air in Saul " 0 Lord, whose 'mercies !" Chorus after chorus then fol lowed, in no way, however, according to the sequence marked4flown in the Programme—which same printed form, by the way, was expressly entitled, as if from a consciousness that no pre scribed order could very well be attended to upon a preliminary occasion so purely and essentially that of a REHEARSAL—" Probable Programme." After the fairy-like sinfonia of chiming bells, preluding the Recitative " Already see the Daughters of the Land," given with brilliant effect by Madame Parepa, came the deliciously-harmonious semi chorus of " Welcome, welcome, Mighty King !" woven about, or intertwined, so to express it, by a continuation of the delicate accompaniment of those chiming bells ! The momentary sound of the brief and almost interjectional recitative, by Saul, " What do I hear ?" introduced Mr. Santley to the , recognition and applause of the enor ntous audience. Their applause, however, the great English baritone, had immediately afterwards a better opportunity of earning by his delivery of the pathetic air of Manoah, " How willing my Paternal Love !" from Samson. From the same stupendous oratorio we had the de light of listening to, in sequence, the aria " Let the Bright Seraphim," sung most exquisitely by Mdlle. Adelina Patti—deliciously accompanied by Harper's wonderful trumpet obligato. The triumph • thereby achieved was complete and instantaneous, signalised by a crashing round of plaudits, plaudits so sustained in enthusiasm as to necessitate an encore. Completing the selections from the Samson, there came next the intricately-linked and winding chorus, " Let their celestial concerts all unite," terminating with a giant flood of har monies A burst of applause, after a brief interval, signalled the appearance in the foreground of the platform of the great Eng lish Tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, who sang, as no one but himself could sing, so tenderly, so deliciously, with such pathetic warblings of the master-passion, " Love in her Eyes sits Playing," from Acis and Galatea. Surely, never was there such a choral lullaby as the dulcifluous one that followed, in stantly upon the close of that delectable love-song —" May no rash intruder"—with its whispering zephyrs, and bursting flowers, and melodious nightingales ! Afterwards, from Judas Maccabeus, Madlle. Adelina Patti gave the " linked sweetness long drawn out"—drawn out at last into a pro longed trill—" From mighty Kings he took the spoil !" Then came that mignificent protest against idolatry, "We never, never will bow down !" pealed forth almost, it seemed, at times simultaneously from every pipe in the grand organ, from every trumpet in the huge orchestra of 500 instrumentalists, from the throats of all those 4,000 choristers singing together, as with one voice at the beck of Costa's magic baton. As a fitting close to the selections from " Judas Maccabeus," came the grandest paean of triumph ever conceived by the imperial imagination of a Composer—" See the Conquering Hero Comes !" given this afternoon with a pomp of sound on drums, trumpets, and choral voices as it, surely, never was given before ! In presiding over the terminal passion and fervour of it, Mr. Costa must have felt, as he waved his baton over that storm of harmonious clangour, almost as though he were the leader of an army ! It was nearly enough one might have fancied to have summoned the soul of Handel back to earth ! Part Two began at about a quarter past four p.m., with a Cyclopcean rendering of the National Anthem, followed by the two sublimest choruses ever composed by the sublimest of all composers :—" For unto us a child is born," and the immortal " Hallelujah !" In the former we cannot, for one moment, imagine that those adoring cries of love, and veneration, and awe, have ever before this day been so majestically raised by human voices and hands to Heaven—those impas sioned apostrophes addressed to the Redeemer of the World, whose name was called as though through an angelic trumpet by Handel—" Emanuel ! Wonderful ! Counsellor ! The Mighty God ! The Everlasting Father ! The Prince of Peace !" After the " Hallelujah " came no less than six of the majestic choruses from the mighty masterpiece of " Israel in Egypt," with the selections from which most wonderful Oratorio the Grand Full Rehearsal was brought to a glorious and affecting conclusion. Beyond the reverent, almost exultant, chorus, "He spake the words"—beyond even the impressive "He gave them hailstones"—far beyond them all, to our mind, was the sombre, muttered, terror-stricken, "He sent a thick darkness !" Altogether this day at the Crystal Palace has been a noble and more than simply auspicious, as it has been a signally trium phant, inauguration of the Handel Festival of 1865 —a Festival marking, we will hope, an epoch of in creased and still increasing prosperity to the grand est Home of the Arts in England. MARKETS--This Day MARK-LANE. A very moderato supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day. The condition of the pro duce was good, and the trade for all qualities ruled steady at full prices. With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The demand, generally speaking, was far from active, nevertheless previous quotations were sup pnrted. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at full currencies. Only a moderate supply of barley was on the stands. The trade was firm at quite previous rates. Only a moderate business was transacted in malt at previous quotations. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Most descriptions were in fair average request at full prices. Beans and peas were very firm at extreme rates. Flour was in fair demand at full currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. M alt.- Oats. Flour.

On the order for the committal of this re-committed bill, Lord FERMOY denounced it as a sham, and moved as an amendment that the bill should simply limit the con tinuance of the powers of the Poor-law 'bard for one year. _ . Mr. H. LEWIS seconded the amendment. The SPEAKER reminded the ,noble lord that if he car ried the amendment it would negative the motion, that be should leave the chair, and the house would not be able to go into committee even for the purpose of continuance. Sir B. BRIDGES, Sir J. SHELLY, Sir M. W. RIDLEY and other members earnestly pressed upon the Government that the bill should be simply a continuance bill. Mr. VILLIERS defended the bill, which, he said, was exactly what it professed to be. A long discussion followed, which resulted in the amend ment being withdrawn, the President of the Poor Law Board, however, agreeing that the bill should be made a continuance' bill simply for a year, and the whole of the other claims were, therefore, negatived. The sitting was suspended at half-past three. At six o'clock the house resumed, and was LEFT SITTING.] FOURTH Efl ITION SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 7 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

Everything connected with the celebration to-day of the advent of this Triennial homage paid to the incomparable genius of Handel was again, as usual, carried out upon a scale of most appropriate, or, it may be said, of simply pro portionate grandeur and magnificence. The wea ther itself could hardly by any possibility have been more propitious. Our English midsummer in all its glory rendered the Crystal Palace itself radiant with sunshine, while filling the green branches of the " leafy month of June" more pro fusely than ever with the gorgeous colouring of the rainbow in all the abounding blossoms of those flowering trees and shrubs and efflorescent plants, that are of themselves so complete an adorn ment, so matchless an attraction among the count less other attractions and adornments lavished by Nature and by Art, by the gift of God and the ingenuity of Man upon the glorious Palace of the People down at Sydenham. The attendance, again, has this day of itself been a sight worth seeing. So vast a multitude, even with the vivid remem brance before us of past occasions of the like kind, was such as could scarcely in reason have been anticipated. Gigantic as the attendance has been before now upon the three preceding celebrations of this Triennial Handel Festival, it has to-day been altogether surpassed. Much of this astonishing increase in the number of the visitors is attributed, of course, to the greater facilities of rapid commu nication by railway with all parts of the United Kingdom. But, coupled with that fact, there is another that appears to us to be equally obvious and equally noticeable namely, the fact of the extraordinary fame of these un rivalled, nay absolutely unprecedented perform ances—awaking an eager curiosityamong thousands who must have merely heard of them or read about them, until now, when, the opportunity again re curring, the desire at last to participate in the en joyment themselves, because (with these additional thousands) just simply irresistible. Triennial fes tival after triennial festival, it has been thus in re gard to the appreciable increase in the multitude of visitors swarming up to London from all quarters of the United Kingdom. Occurring, moreever, as these wonderful performances do, triennially, and not annually (their annual repetition, if only by reason of their magnitude and com plexity, would, in fact, be an achievement incapable of realisation, if attempted), they possess always the charm of Novelty—the charms of a Freshness, that is that never palls by too frequent repetition. Every successive occasion, besides this, gives evidence, on the part of the great bulk of the performers, that their hands and voices get more " in" to the adequate production of the colossal work before them ! Practice, here as else where, tends, more and more, towards the all desirable goal of Perfection. Turning, however, to the great preliminary performance which has to day signalized the inauguration of the Fourth of these Triennial Festivals, this henceforth especially memorable Festival of 1865, we would here remark, to begin with, that the wondrous Orchestra never looked more magnificently ! Yonder, in the central position of all, confronting that marvellous gathering together of Four Thousand Singers and Instrumen talists, was the Prince of Conductors—Mr. Costa. Seated far above him before the triple keyboard of the stupendous organ, himself amere dot amongst the multitude was the organist of the day—doubly typi cal, one is tempted to say, through the simple oddity of his name, of the intensely English character of the performance throughout—Mr. Brownsmith ! Ex tending to the right hand and to the left in the noble sweep of the concave semicircle of the orches tra—a structure so gigantic that it is actually in its dimensions twice the diameter of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral —extending to the right hand and to the left, we say, from those two important, con spicuous, and central figures (above, the Organist ! below, the Conductor !), like the wings of a very army of performers, were ranged the 500 instru mentalists, as many as 400 of them artists armed merely with stringed instruments, aided by another hundred weilding the varied sounds that flow from auxiliary instruments of metal, wood, leather, and parchment—drum, and cymbal, and trumpet, and ophicleide,,and serpent, flute and bassoon, clarionet and trombone, hautboy and triangle, horn, and harp, and flageolet—backed, surrounded, encom passed by the serried ranks of the huge chorus, or rather choruses —singers numbering the occupants of thatlovely and symmetrical orchestra, up to the grand total. already mentioned, that wondrous total never approached by any other choir upon record, the almost inconceivable total of Four Thousand Per formers ! Eleven years have sufficed to lead to this marvellous combination. Sixteen hundred of the Four Thousand, it should be remembered, too, are fur nished by the Metropolitan Division alone of the Han del Festival Choir, that important division, that most important of all division's, having been drilled with so much regularity, from time to time, in the area of Exeter Hall, under the master-baton of Mr Costa! Co-operating with these sixteen hundred amateur members of London, there are here, besides, chora lists gathered together from all the principal cities of England, Ireland, and Scotland—from Binning- 10,460 NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Only a moderate supply of meat is on sale at these markets. Good and prime qualities move off steadily, at high prices. Otherwise the trade is quiet.
