We translate from the Wanderer of the 16th the following additional particulars "BUCHAREST, July o. We have fresh details respect ing the combat at Giurgevo. The Russians had been repulsed at all points with considerable losses, and re tired in all speed as far as Fratesctlu ; a portion of them only succeeded in assembling at that point ; the others withdrew in a north-westerly direction towards Carale geni, others eastward, to the Argis. From seven to eight thousand men of the Chruleff division, the greater part of whom had arrived on the sth at Giurgevo, com ing from Caralaphi, took their position yesterday on an extensive plain, situate at three-quarters of a league from Giurgevo, and in the north of this town. Whilst the combat was being waged with much eagerness near the spot, a divi4on of Turks contrived to cross the Danube up to Giurgevo, and to turn the position of the 8,000 men above adverted to. It was then about mid night ; at the same moment, 6,000 Turks crossed the Danube below Giurgevo. The combat was therefore en gaged at three points at the same time, viz., on the bank of the Danube and partly at Giurgevo itself, then above the town, and lastly in the north, between the troops of the Chruleff division, and the Turks who had partly surrounded them. It was at this latter point that the Combat was most eager and the affair decided. The Chruleff division succeeded in freeing itself at the cost of enormous losses; but its retreat was the signal of a gene ral retreat. " The Russians seem to have had the advantage of numbers in the affair at Giurgevo. For, indeed, it is difficult to admit that, during the evening of yesterday and last night, 25,000 Turks had been able to cross`the Danube. Now, the Russians reckoned at least 30,000 men, viz., 12,000 men of the Seyrnonoff division, eight or nine thousand of whom were still at Giurgevo itself on the 30th J ne, and the remainder in the neighbour hood; 8,000 men of the Chruleff division, who had again gone up the Danube; lastly, 3 regiments of infantry, 2 re giments of cavalry, and a pulk of Cossacks, forming part of the garrison at Bucharest, and who had set out for Giurgevo before the sth July—they may be estimated at 12,000 or 13,000 men. The Russians were therefore at least to the number of 30,000 men." THE BALTIC. DINTZIC, July 20.—The Nicolai I. arrived here this morning (20th). She left Baro Sound with Sir Charles Napier's and the French fleet on the 18th. The fleet went to the Aland Islands. Cholera is disappearing. This movement on the part of the fleet would tend to confirm the impression that the island of Aland will be captured by the fleet, and garrisoned by the French troops now en route from Cabis. A. letter from Kiel of the 15th, in a Berlin news paper, says :—" Persons ordinarily well informed state that the French expeditionary army of the Baltic will disembark provisionally in the island of Seeland, and that Denmark will shortly aban don her neutrality." Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, an nounce the death from cholera, at Peterhoff, of Count Daschkoff Woronzoff, formerly Russian Am bassador at Munich, Stuttgart, and Turin. The Journal de St. Petersburg says :—" On the 26th June three of the enemy's frigates, one a sail ing one, the other two screws, approached the bar of the Northern Dwina, and cast anchorat 31 versts from the bar. They captured a peasant of Koia, named Andrew Iline, who, with his kotchmara (boat), laden with cod, arrived from th e co ast of Carelia, which is known under the name of Moto.- mansky Beg." GREECE. ATHENS, 14th.L—Some diseases had broken out among the troops occupying the country. M. Mavrocordata was expected the following day. TRIESTE, 19th.—The Greek steamer arrived at this port brings no striking news. Thessaly was tranquil. SPAIN. TRIUMPH OF THE INSURRECTION. MADRID, July 17.—The capital has " pro nounced" against the Queen and her Minister, by the unanimous concurrence of the troops and the people. The Gazette publishes a list of new Ministers. Three are Moderates : Duke Rivas President and Marine: Mayans Rios Rosas lnterior. Three Progressistas : Lacerna Entero Finances. Roda General Garigo commands the cavalry at Madrid. Conde San Luis (Sartorius) has fled. The Ministry is dissolved. Eapartero is recognised as the chief of the move ment, and has been joined by Zabala with the army of the north. BARCELONA, July 18.—A Provisional Junta is formed by the Captain-General and other leading inen. The kingdom of Valencia and the Balearic Isles have " pronounced." According to advices from St. Sebastian of the 18th, the inhabitants of Saragossa and all the gar rison have pronounced for the movement, and General Ignacio Gurral had taken command of the place. The Duke of Victory (Espartero) has left Lo grono in order to put himself at the head of the movement. The army of the North is under march in order to place itself under the Duke. General Z•tbala has written to Bayonne order ing the soldi ers and officers of the Cordova Reg] , went, who had fled to the country, to return to Spain, and to meet him at St. Sebastian. Other despatches from Madrid announce that General Narvaez has offered his services to the Queen, and was busy in forming a new Adminis tration. A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated the 21st, says, General Espartero is marching on Madrid at the head of the Army of the Centre, and General Zabala is marching in the same direc tion with the Army of the North. It is stated in a letter from Valencia of the 13th, in the illoniteur, that the harvest, which has just terminated in the province of that name, has been extraordinarily abundant ; and that the same is the case in almost all parts of Spain. The letter adds that the olive trees sewn also to promise a very good crop. FR ONCE. THE DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE BALTIC. Since the subjoined from Calais was sent, intel- ' ligenee has been received by Submarine and Euro pean telegraph of the arrival of the screw-ship Prince in the Downs, the ship having slipped her anchor in Calais roads. Immediately on the news of the defect reaching the Admiralty, an officer of the Surveyor of the Navy's department proceeded to Blackwall, and from Mr. Mare's establishment a new capstan and chains, with a party of men to fit them, were sent off to the Prince by a steam tug, so that the delay caused by the derangement of the capstan will . be very little. In the mean time the steam-tender Fire Queen, Master Com mander Paul, that had been sent to the Downs, was ordered to London with the broken capstan. CALAIS, Thursday.—The Fire Queen boarded the Prince at 5 a.m. Nothing was ready on hoard, but all confusion. Captain Le Febre expressed his displeasure, and ordered the Prince instantly to get under weigh. In heaving the slack of the chain, the interior of the iron work of the capstan broke, rendering it usAess. The Reine Horteuso, with General Baraguay d'Hilliers on b oar d, was under weigh f or the Baltic. Captain Le Febre followed in the Fire Queen, and boarded the yacht, for the purpose of consulting the General, who wished the Prince and transports to keep together. The Prince was ordered to the Downs for repairs. The Fire Queen was sent to the Downs with Messrs. Maudsley and Lambert. The Reine Hor tense proceeded to the Baltic, with the General on board, having two brigs in tow. At 2.30 p.m. the Rerefordshire and two transports were ordered to the Downs, to join the Prince, in tow of two steamers, the Lizard and Avon. Another telegraph, dated Calais, Thursday, six P.m., says :—" Every ship has left the roads. At five p.m. a French soldier fell down the hatch way of the Herefordshire. The Dasher put the man on shore, to place him in the hospital. Dasher, Captain Le Febre, leaves for Portsmouth this evening." The Journal de Calais publishes the following as the address of General Baraguay d'Hilliers to the troop s of the expeditionary force to the Baltic : "Soldiers —It is from Boulogne that fifty years since the glorious army left, which, under under the orders of the Em p er or Napoleon, beat the Russians at Austerlitz, ylau, and Friedland, and gained the peace of Tilsit. will IU the camp a i gn you are a b out to un d er t a k e y o u tilde campaign wort h y sons o f t h ose va li an t "'then', and inspired by those great souvenirs, without pretending to such grand triumphs, we will prove to our Emperor and to France that we know how to justify their expectations." lie Emperor and Empress arrived at Mont St. Marsan at 7 p.m. on Thursday. The Commander-in -Chief of the Baltic Expedi tion has left Calais in the Reine Hortense, and all the vessels composing the expedition have sailed. The cholera is raging fearfully at Marseilles, and. BO great is the terror with which it inspires the in habitants, that they aro quitting the city at the rate of 500 per day. The prefect has adopted a measure which, to say the least of it, does not ap pear calculated produce the effect expected from it. He has interdicted the migration of the inha bitants, excepting in cases where they can prove that they are called away by their legitimate avo cations. Such an abuse of power is likely to in crease the panic instead of diminishin g it. It is said that MM. Durand and Black have failed in their efforts to negotiate a loan in London and Paris in favour of Turkey. The cash prices of the French funds yesterday were as follow :—Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 97f. 500. ; Three per Cents., 70f. 90c. ; Bank of France, 2,860 f. ; Credit Mobilier, 685 f. ; Discount Bank, 580 f. ; Piedmontese Five per Cnts., 86f. ; ditto Three per Cents., 53f. 25c. ; Austrian Five per Cents., 8011 4 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 892 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 37f. Exchange on London (short), 24f. 972 c., money; ditto (90 days), 24f. 70c. ITALY. TURIN, July 18.—The English vessel Persian arrived at Genoa this evening, having on board the cable for the submarine telegraph between Egypt and Italy by Corsica, Sardinia, and Algeria. On the 20th the Persian will reach Spezzia. The cable will be immediately laid down in presence of the Prince de Carignan, the Balusters, and the corps diplomatique. TURIN, 19.—The submarine cable has arrived at Spezzia." COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 20. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, drove out yesterday afternoon. Prince Albert rode on horseback with the Prince of Wales and Princo Alfred. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by the Baroness de Speth and Sir George Couper, left town yesterday morning for her residence, Frogmore. A deputation from the Burial Board of St Marylebone, consisting of Mr. Clement George (churchwarden), and Dr. Russell (accompanied by Mr. W. E. Greenwell, vestry clerk, and the members of the borough, Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., and Lord Dudley Coutts Stewart), Mr. John Nicholl, Mr. Wm. Anderson, and Mr. Henry Spicer (Burial Board Commissioners of Islington parish), Mr. John Layton (vestry clerk and clerk to the board), Mr. Joseph Tucker and Mr. G. W. F. Cooke (vestry clerk and clerk to the St. Pancras Burial Board, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday, at the Home-office. The demand for gold for remittance to Paris continues, and, although it is now likely to be fully met by the Australian arrivals, some amounts are, meanwhile, taken from the Bank of England. The Iris arrived yesterday from Adelaide, with 10,304 ounces of gold, valued at 41,200/. ; and the Ferozepore, from Melbourne, with 20,212 ounces, valued at 80,808/., making an aggregate of 122,0081. The Leonidas, re ported yesterday from Sydney, has no gold on freight. THE HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, AND BERMUDA MAILS. —GENERAL POST -OFFICE, JULY, 1854.—The packet com munication between Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Bermuda, which has hitherto been maintained once a fortnight during the summer, and once a month during the winter season, will in future tak place only once a mouth throughout the year. Mails for Bermuda will continue to be fowarded to Halifax once a fortnight, as heretofore, by the British mail packets leaving Liverpool for Hali fax and Boston ; but the branch packet for Bermuda will only be despatched from Halifax on the arrival at that port of each alternate packet from Liverpool, the next despatch being fitted to the arrival of the packet appointed to leave Liverpool on the 22d inst. CREMORNE GARDENS.—PubIic sympathy was shown in a very marked manner at the gardens last evening, in the unusually large number of persons who responded to Mr. Simpson's liberal announcement of a benefit night for the widow and children of the late Mons. Le Tur, the French aeronaut. The principal attractions were as appropriate as they were brilliant, the leading one being Aeronautism, practically illustra,te,l and theo retically described. The balloons 'used upon this occa sion were the Royal Normanby and the Prince of Wales ; the former being guided by Mr. Hampton, whose services were most kindly rendered gratuitously, and who was accompanied by a party of amateurs. As soon as the ascents took place, which were as fine as it was possible to witness, a lecture, by Mr. Partington, was commenced. The past, the present, and the future, in reference to parachutes and balloons, were glanced at, described and anticipated, in a most pleasingly con densed style. The usual round of entertainments fol lowed. STRAND THEATRE.—A capital burlesque on Pause and Marguerite was produced at this little theatre on Mon day evening with complete success. The piece abounds with puns—those that pleased most were in allusion to Lord Aberdeen and the war. The Mephistopheles of Mr. J. Holford was certainly a most original and droll performance, the imitation of Mr. Kean throughout the burlesque was the best thing we have seen for a long time. Miss G. Hodson made a dashing Faust, and sung the music allotted to her with much sweetness. The other parts were well filled by Miss 11. Gordon, and Miss F. Beaumont. The scenery, by Herbert, and the music, by Tully, were very good. A very pleasant evening may now - be passed at this little theatre. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the many historical groups which are placed in this exhibition, perhaps that which represents Charles the First and Oliver Cromwell' presents more interest than some others, particularly as both figures are represented in the perfect costume of the period, the King being in a splendid suit of chevalier armour, beautifully inlaid with gold, and his great and extraordinary antagonist also in a plain but handsome suit of the same period. This group is full of interest. OPERATION OF THE COMION LAW PROCEDURE ACT.— Yesterday a return was printed, showing the operation of the Common Law Procedure Act, which took effect in October, 1852. In 1851 there were 21,221 actions brought in the Queen's Bench, 21,625 in 1852, and 22,840 in 1853. In the Common Pleas, 14,398 were brought in 1851; in 1852, 17,879, and in 1853, 16,106 ; whilst in the plea side of the Exchequer, 29,838 in 1851 ; in 1852, 29,616 ; and in last year, 33,414. BLOCKADE OF THE RUSSIAN PORTS.-Mr Thomas Thompson, merchant of this town (says the Hull Adver tiser), with his characteristic energy, has been address ing the Right Hon. Sir J. Graham, Bart., M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, pointing out the fact, and show ing by returns, that the present partial and ineffectual blockade of Russian ports is only enriching neutrals and foreigners, and enabling the Russian noblemen to sup- ply the Emperor with means of continuing the war ; and respectfully requesting the adoption o f a rigid blockade of all Russian ports. To that letter an answer was on Thursday received, in which Sir James states positively that it is the intention of the Government to enforce a strict blockade. THE TUNISIAN AUXILIARIES.--A letter from Tunis of the 7th announce; that the organisation of the body of troops which the Bey was about to send to Constanti nople was almost terminated. It was said that the ad vauce guard of that body was to be embarked towards the 15th of July, in vessels sent from Malta ; and that General Reschid, who was nominated to the chief com mand, was to form part of the first departure. The four regiments of infantry which form the bulk of this division are said to be exceedingly well appointed, and all the men have been disciplined after the European fashion. Three companies in each regiment are armed with rifles, and the men composing these companies are all excellent shots. THE SOUND DUES.—BERLIN, July 17. North America, as was to be foreseen, has carried the day in her contest with Denmark. The Danish Government has issued a decree, ordering that ships shall be exempt from the Sound dues when laden with transatlantic pro duce, and when they discharge their cargoes in a Danish harbour. ADMIRALTY COURT.—A. bill has been laid before the House of Commons by the Admiralty Board for the pur pose of appointing persons to administer oaths, and to substitute stamps in lieu of fees in the High Court of Admiralty. DUCHY OF CORNWALL OFFICE.—A bill, which has been printed, has been brought in for the exchange of the Duchy of Cornwall office in Somerset House for an office to be erected in Pimlico on the hereditary posses sions of the Crown. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT NEAR BLICKFRIARS-BRIDGE. _ —Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, the Moss Rose, London and Westminster steamboat, left London-bridge pier with a full cargo of passengers for Hungerford-market and Westminster-bridge, the ma chinery of the vessel broke down, and the steamer was brought almost to a standstill. The passengers, many of whom were females, were th rown in t o a painfully excited state, as they imagined that the steam-boat had sprung a leak, and was fast sinking. The captain suc ceeded in getting the boat into Cory's-road, when she was made fast to a coal barge. He endeavoured to con vince those on board that no danger existed, and that he would land them when the next up-boat came along. Many of them were, however, so frightened that they could not be prevailed upon to remain, and they were taken ashore by watermen in their wherries. The Blue Bell, steam-boat, in about a quarter of an hour came alongside of the broken-down steamer, and took on board as many of the passengers as that vessel could accommodate ; and those remaining had to stop until another of the company's boats arrived and took them also away, and landed them at either Hungerford or Westminster bridge. The steam-boat is obliged to be left for the present in Cory's road until her machinery can be repaired. COMPENSATION FOR Loss.—RAILWAY COLLISION.— At the Wexfird assizes, on Tuesday, the orphan chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Macsweeney got 5001. damages against the Great Southern and Western Railway Com pany, on account of the loss of their father and mother, who were killed by a railway accident at Straffan last autumn. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACTS CONTINUANCE.—It is proposed by a bill, introduced by Mr. Sotheron and Mr. Bonham Carter, to continue these acts until the end of the session of 1855. MEDITERRANEAN TEL GRAPH.— TURIN, Tuesday.— The steamer Persiani has arrived at Genoa, having on board the cable intended for the submarine telegraph be tween Sardinia and the Continent. It will start for Spezzia the day after to-morrow. Prince Carignan, the ministers, and the diplomatic corps will witness its lay ing down. WALLTNGFORD.—At a special meeting of the mem bers of the town council, held on Saturday, the 15th iost., and numerously attended, the Right Hon. the Earl of Malrnesbury was unanimously elected to the ancient office of high steward of the borough, in the room of the late Thomas Duffield, Esq., deceased. His lordship has promptly and courteously notified his in tention to accept the appointment. THE. SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1854. DEATH OF CAS13111? COUNT BATTHYANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. I.3in,—lt has pleased Providence to visit the Hunga rian emigration, nay, the whole Hungarian nation, with a most severe loss, and to cast the deepest mourning upon them—one of their most distinguished members, Casimir Count Batthyany, died unexpectedly and sud denly at Paris, on the 12th inst., in the 46th year of his age. Caisimir Count Batthyany, Hereditary Lord of N - meth Ujvar, was a scion of that most illustrious and noble Hungarian, which, during centuries, nay, during the entire existence of Hungary, has given at all times and ages the most distinguished men for its clergy, for the senate, and the field. The deceased was Hereditary Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Vas, in Hungary (perpetuus ac supremos comes comitatus de eastro Jeri' eo ). He was also heir presumptive to the princely titles and estates of the same name. It is not my intention to give an account of his past life--that was far too rich in acts and noble sacrifices to be compressed within the limits of a few lines. As an individual he was conspicuous, not only by his hand some and manly figure, but also by his high and noble qualities, and not even his adversaries could withhold their admiration for one so noble in feelings, so brave in action, so rich in ideas, and who enjoyed a well deserved European reputation for his varied accomp lish men ts. His participation in the Hungarian war for liberty deserves universal acknowledgment, and the more so because it was free from all ambition, from all selfish ness. He desired rather to be useful than to shine, for he participated in the struggle with all the vigour of his mind, with all the devotion of his noble heart ; and though his political creed differed from that of several of the leaders, still, seeing the in dependence—the constitution—of his beloved country endangered, he never did hesitate to take the most de cided part, both as a soldier in the field and as a states man and minister in the senate. For the welfare of his country he neither spared his life nor his fortune : his estates confiscated by Aus tria amounted from 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 of francs. He might have saved a great part of his patrimony, but he did not do so, perhaps in order that his sacrifice might be complete. He might not have acted in this instance in the wisest way, as far as his country, himself, and his family were concerr.ed, but it is the privilege of noble and great characters not to shrink from the consequences ofgreat events. He died poor and an exile, and reposes now not only far from his beloved country on a foreign soil, but even in the grave of a foreign family. Ere this his departed spirit will have met with the blood-stained shade of his noble relative, the late Count Lewis Batthyany, and both these greatest and noblest martyrs of Hungary, the victims of Austrian vengeance and persecution, look on their bereaved coun try, and call upon its faithful children to imitate their heroic devotedness in life as well as in death. The generous spirit of Count Casimir is departed, but his name will be imperishable in the history of his coun try—his memory cherished by every Hungarian through all ages and times. His noble example will prevail upon and incite them in all their struggles, in all their suffer ings, for the welfare of their beloved country. Peace be wits him ! July 18, 1854. C. SZUBO. MARKET IVEIVS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited, the demand for it was excessively heavy, and most kinds were offered at is to 2s per quarter less money, without tempting buyers. We were largely supplied with foreign wheat, and all descriptions were lower to purchase. In floating cargoes next to nothing was doing. Barley, the show of which was moderate, moved off heavily, at Monday's decline. The malt trade was very dull, and prices were drooping. The oat trade was very dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Beaus and peas were unaltered in value ; but most kinds of flour were lower to purchase. The imports are 2,820 barrels.

It is proposed that it shall be put up tempo rarily in some convenient place for private view. HAY HARVEST IN DEVONSHIRE.—The hay harvest has hitherto progressed slowly in consequence of the un favourable weather which has prevailed.

CRYSTAL PALACE. The half -yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel—Mr. S. Laing M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has already appeared was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN in moving the ad o pti on of the report congratulated the shareholders on the successful opening of the Crystal Palace. It was an undertaking worthy of the age and country in which they lived. He they entered into an elaborate statement respecting the means adopted to insure the opening of the palace on the 10th of June, the exertions made to economise the expenditure, at the same time to do everything as well as possible, and to leave nothing undone which could in any way enhance the value of the undertaking to the public and the shareholders. They all felt more or less disappointed at the expendi ture exceeding 1,000,0001. by the suer of 300,0001. Of this sum, 100,0001. included au expenditure on matters that was not) foreseen ; but it was -an expenditure on matters that could be made available at any time, and realise a profit. A good deal of land had been purchas ed which could be resold at a profi p t rep T er h ty oy d h es ad ira se b ca rle secured the hn l dDulw ich theirin wood, hands, w h to ich pr w ev a ant s a its being built over;; at the same time it was exceedingly valuable property. About 40,000/. was expected in the re-purchase of land, the Dulwich-wood property, and 60,0004 in providing refreshment accommodation for man and horse. Taking this as a separate undertaking, he had no doubt that the outlay of the 100;000/. men tioned would produce a rental ,equal to the interest on the whole of the 300,0001. of additional capital. With respect to the other portion of the excess in the estimates, amounting to 200,0001., it arose from various causes over which the directors had no control, such as the rise in the price of iron, to the extent of SO or 40 per cent., extra works in the fine arts department, the water , vorke, gardens; and generally in works tend ing to enhance the value of the undertaking in an edu cational and artistic point of view. The industrial de partment was also made ornamental, and, in short, the whole of the money was judiciously expended ; and the company had full value in labour and materials for the outlay they had incurred. They had ascertained the extent of their expenditure and liabilities up to 1,200,000/., and there remained a furthe r item of 91,0001. under the management of Sir Joseph Paxton to complete the waterworks and fountains ; and that gentleman had no doubt that the sum would be sufficient, and prove highly remunerative. On the whole, the directors be lieved that if the works were to be commenced again it would be impossibl e to execute them cheaper ; mistakes had been made, and contingencies had arisen, but the amount of them was small as compared with the novelty and magnitude of the undertaking. They had done everything thoroughly well and in first-rate style, so that they had no f ear o f competition. With regard to the revenue, they had derived a profit of 1,0001. front the sale of refreshments. He was prepared to say that if the system did not work well it should be abolished. A great deal had been said against the sale of refresh. ments within the building, but it was quite evident that the most temperate people visiting this extensive build ing and grounds required refreshment. When it was considered that between 300,000 and 400,000 persons had expended 15,0001. in refreshments, being about is. a head, and there was hardly a single case of intoxication among the whole, he said that fact alone was sufficient to satisfy any reasonable person of the necessity of refreshments and non-liability of the working classes to drunkenness when the eyes of respectable people were upon them, and when they had extraordinary works of art and nature to arrest their attention and induce inquiry. Drunken• ness was only to be found in low and miserable localities, and in private places. The receipts during the four weeks from all sources amounted to 67,0901. The aver age payment at the doors was at the rate of 3,0001. per week, and it had gradually increased, so that during the present week they would receive 4,000/. for admittance. They would extend the Is. admission to another day in the week, reserving one day for season ticket-holders, and those who wished to visit the building on a select day. The rental for spaces in the building up to the period at which the accounts were made up amounted to 12,2891., but it had gradually increased, and now amounted to 30,0001. There were various causes in operation to prevent the spaces being taken so rapidly as they had anticipated, but, as these causes would gradually be removed, the industrial parts of the build ing would be occupied by leading manufacturers, and the other part as a large bazaar for the sale of vari ous things. He had no doubt that the receipts from this and other sources would cover the expense of main tenance and the interest on the borrowed capital, leaving the receipts at the doors to meet a dividend on the share capital. Their receipts averaged 3,000/. per week; they were going on increasing, but in the winter they must expect a decrease. Next year the fountains and waterworks would come into operation, and the new railway from the West-end, near Buckingham Palace, would be opened for traffic, which would greatly increase the facilities for visiting the Crystal Palace. The re sources of the Brighton Railway were taxed to the ut most in conveying 10,000 or 12,000 persons backward* and forwards within a very limited time. But when the second railway opened for traffic the receipts would be considerably increased, and the public more ex tensively accommodated. Ho then remarked with regard to the value of the 200,000 shares in the under. taking. Supposing an extreme case thatso dividend on them was forthco m i ng , the working and other ex penses of the establishment being defrayed from rents and sources he had mentioned, the shares would be worth par, or 51. each, as life-tickets of admission to the building and grounds. He concluded by stating that Mr. Fuller had resigned the office of managing director, that it was owing to that gentleman'. great zeal and exertions that they bad commenced and carried through the undertaking, and in consideration of his great exertions and services the board had awarded him a sum of 4,0001. When he told them that Mr. Fuller had managed the purchase and sale of land to the amount of 300,0001. for the company, and by which they had gained a net profit of 50,0001., be thought they would not consider he was more than paid. As that sum included money out of pocket for staff, drawings, &c., he believed 4,0001. was a very moderate and reasonable amount. (No, no.) Mr. GILPIN, amidst considerable uproar, protested against a paragraph in the report respecting the success and advantages resulting from the refreshment depart. ment to the company and the public, and concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that it might be omitted from the report. Mr. FOREDON seconded the amendment. Mr. HORSELEY entered into a statement to show from the result of the past four weeks that the receipts from various sources during 39 weeks of the year, allowing 13 weeks to be unproductive, would produce a total of 259,1831. a-year, and, deducting 52,000/. for working expenses, would leave 207,183/. to pay interest on loans and dividends on the shares, amounting together to 1,300,000/. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WILSON complained that the capital had been increased from time to time from 500,000/. to 1,300,0001., and that the statement of accounts was not satisfactory. Sir J. PAXTON stated, in reply to a question, that the present consumption of water at the Crystal Palace was from 40,000 to 50,000 gallons per day, which were supplied by the Lambeth Waterworks. The artesian well on the company's estate was now yielding 100,000 gallons per day ; they had a very large surface of water to fill up about the grounds, which would take some time to accomplish. With the exception of two or three months in the summer, he believed their well would supply all the water they required. In addition to that they had the drainage of 200 acres collected in the form of a lake in the lower part of the grounds, which would be available. There would be an ample s upply of water next year for the fountains, which , he bel ieved, t w h o e ul d forma ether att r g e c r e t i a n t n e s r attraction t h t e o r. the ( A p p u p b l a h u c s e t . h ) an n all. fountains would not be put into play until after the Ist been n k ve in r g y of May next. They would not be put into operation on ethfisseymeaer. of Toheeyfoluiandtaminas,dae experimen ts ndthereul s haddthbe working of satisfactory. He would pledge himself that the addi tional sum of 300,0001. would be sufficient for all that was at present contemplated. Mr M.P., a dir ec t or , d efended the board fromili G e EAc a' imputations of Mr. Alderman Wilson, and said that at the end of the year they would have a most sa tisfactory statement of the accounts. He stated, in re ply to a question, that when the receipts on joint accounts amounted to 44, 000/ . nn t a n dlol e ttanbf eo Crystal ae ttne P tanh a m l s a ot c e uontth Company pd w ai o vn u iyd l d eld r 4 e i c on e o i to vi e. ; 3 :a r n e o p d o o o t r h l t . a i o a t Railw ay would o c u r C l y d o s n t a l b e . Palace and three -sevenths to the Brighton Railway Company. After some further observations, Mr. Gilpin with drew his amendment, and the motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously. Resolutions were passed authorising the directors to borrow 300,0001., re-electing th e re ti r i ng di rectors and auditor, and conrming the bye-laws of the company. The meeting was then made special for the considera tion of a proposition for allowing the shareholders free admission to the palace and grounds on Sunday, but it was explained by the chairman, that the opinion of Sir R. Bethell, the Solicitor-General, on the subject, was to the effect that it was a subject of very serious doubt, and, if acted upon, would probably endanger the validity of the charter. Under these circumstances the prolx'ai' tion was withdrawn, and the matter was left to be settlsd by Parliament. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. e: ete opat sh have dy ew s om e was America ni CHOLERA AT ST.
