TIV AL. capacity and completeness of the instrumentalists the " Occasional" overture was performed, and a finer performance it would be quite impossible to obtain. " No, love, that everlasting boy," from Sealele, was beautifully sung by Mr. Cumming, previous to which . the splendid chorus " May no rash intruder" was magnificently given. The great and remarkable pins of the afternoon was the duet, "Oh lovely peace," by Madame Titiens and Diddle. Christine Nilsson. It was one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of vocal display, and the immense audience, ladies in- I eluded, applauded to the very echo. The " re hearsal," we may say, was perfectly satisfac tory in all respects ; and t) those who intend visiting the Palace during the festival we can pro mise a performance such as has never yet taken place in any part of the world, a.ni one whic% will remain fresh in the recollectioa f)r years to c)ine, and which will always be referred to as one of the red letter days of life. The entire arrangements for the convenience of the vast assembly were perfect; and Mr. thvvley, the general manager, I\lr. G. Grove, the secretary, and their efficient staff, may rest perfectly satisfied that the various important matters for which they have to provide will, during the festival, work ad mirably. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Christian occupied one of the private boxes on the occasion. sidcr the present incidence and. principle of local rating, and report thereon. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn.. Another subject, already discussed t' its session—ac , i dents in coal mines—was revived by Mr. H. A. Bruce, who asked the Government whether they intended .to carry out the recommendation of the select committee of 1867. Mr. Bruce travelled rapidly through Me report, intimating that he was strongly in favour of an in.irease in the staff of inspectors rather than for the appointrcent of sub-inspec tors, the appointment of stipendiary mugistrates to try offences against the rules, the laying out; of pits on the "district" plan and the "double-shift" system. • Mr. HARDY assured the house that Government had not neglected the subject, and nothing but the circum stances of the session had prevented them from attempting legislation. On one point he intimated his mind was fully made up, that a moderate increase in the staff of inspec tors was preferable to the appointment of sub-inspectors. Mr. NEATE (the chairman of the committee) regretted the postponement of legislation, and advocated an increase in the number of inspectors, and the examination of the managers of mines. Mr. Greene, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. W. U. Leatham, and Mr. H. Vivian also expressed a general concurrence in the re commendations of the committee. in answer to a complaint from Mr. AYRTON of the manner in which the Board of Inland It.wenue administers the law regulating the registration of newspapers, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the Board merely put the law into operation under the inter pretation of it furnished to them by the law officers, and as long as the law continued unaltered it would be their duty so to enforce it. But he denied that the Board acted with fear or affection, or from private malignity, and no prosecution was instituted until after ample warning re fusal had been given to make the necessary security and make necessary declaration. Mr. M. GIBSON admitted that the Board had acted as impartially as it could, and even with reluctance, but it was usually set in motion by private malice. If such a law were necessary, its administration ought not to be placed on a department which merely existed for the col lection of taxes. But the law was so absurd that no Government would dare to enforce it generally and im partially—thougt), on the other band, there were many papers, the Saturday Review for instance, from whem these securities were illegally required—and he pressed the Government to undertake the repeal of it either in this or, the next session. Mr. MILL suggested that the prosecutions should be suspended in the meantime, and Mr. M. Chambers made some observations in defence of the original policy of the law, to which Mr. Craufurd replied. There was a short debate on the Courts of Session and Court pf Justiciary (Scotland) Bills, which were read a second time on the understanding that a Royal CommissiOU will be appointed to inquire into tho jurisdiction and con stitution of the Scotch Courts. The Land Writs Registration (Scotland) Bill was passed through committee. The debates on Mr. Gladstone's Suspensory Bill, which stood next on the stage "as amended to be considered,' , were varied by a dispute about the order in which it was to be taken. Mr. Craufurd and Mr. Monk complained that it had been interpolated in the middle of the Government business unfairly and to the disadvantage of bills of theirs. It was explain ed by the Secretary of the Treasury that priority had been given to this bill out of courtesy to Mr. Gladstone and for the general convenience, and Mr. Glad stone confirmed this, thanking the Government for having given him the same advantage as on previous occasions. Mr. VANCE made an attempt to strike out of the new clause added last Friday the part which puts the recipi ents of the Regium Donum under Parliamentary notice ; but meeting with no support except from Mr. Newdegate, he did Lot go to a division, and the third reading was fixed for Tuesday. Just before one o'clock Mr. MONK moved the com mittal of his bill to remove the Disabilities of Re venue Officers, of which Le secured the second read ing on Wednesday in the absence of the two front benches. The Government moved the adjournment of the debate, the Chancellor of the Exchequer explaining that he was accidentally prevented from arriving in the house in time on Wednesday, and complaining that Mr. Monk had departed from the usual course by not making a speech on the second reading, which would have given ample opportunity for the opponents of the bill to take their places. He added, too, that many members (including Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone) had gone away some time ago under the impression that the bill would not come on that night. There was the usual sharp and disjointe d struggle on the question of adjournment. The first motion was beaten by 52 to 36, a second was negatived without a division, and a third by 42 to 33. The supporters of the bill made a strong appeal to the members of the Government) who were present to fix a day for the bill, bust they professed their inability in the Premier's absence, and after a contest of an hour Mr. Monk gave way, and consented to the adjournment of the debate until Monday. The house adjourned at 2 o'clock. TIIE ASS.SSINATION OF PRINCE AIICILIEL. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] BELGRADE, June 12.

A splendid June day, an immense assemblage, and the great orchestra punctually filled in every portion of its vast area with vocalists and instru mentalists to the number of four thousand, ushered in the Third Grand Triennial Festival magnifi cently. Nothing could well have been more wretchedly mis-man , ged, however, than the railway arrangements for taking the visitors down from L)ndon to Sydenham. The result was a scramble for places at the last moment within the palace, and that, too, in a very labyrinth, the devious windings of which it was bewildering to traverse, leading often to a cul-de-sac, to much physical ex ' haustion, and to no little mental irritation among ' the majority. Finger-posts at the entrance doors, directing the public generally to their appointed places, would be a positive benefaction before the first of the Three Gran" Days (Mon lay), shall have arrived. We speak from oar own personal experience, the discovery of the scats allotted to us being the result of prolonged search, after an extraordinary trial of patience among those in our immediate neighbourhood. At one o'clocl pre ci ely, the signal of inauguration was given by the wand of the wizard,`the baton of the field marshal, Michael Costa, prince and paragon of Conductors. The whole of the gigantic audience, answering in the rise to their feet of the four thousand occupants of th ! orchestra, rose at the pealing forth of the opening words of the National Anthem. But it was with the commencement of the matchless " Halle lujah" that the true prelude of the whole of this colossal celebration may be said, in truth, to have commenced. Listening to it— " The earth recedes, it disappeats— Heaven opens to mine eyes ; my ears With sounds seraphic ring !" It was simply magnificent. At the close of the selection from Saul, the " Dead March" was given with wonderful and haunting effect, the impression proluced being actually less noticeable for its overwhelming solemnity than for the plaintive tenderness of its pathetic funereal beauty. Sims Reeves was in unusually fine voice and, as ever, acquitted himself to admiration. After the over ture from the " OccasiGnal Oratorio" had been per formed with, in parts, startling power, the grand chorus from Solomon, "May no rash intruder,' won for itself a burst of enthusiastic applause. As for the exquisite duet from Judas Maccabeus— " 0 lovely peace," it was listened to with hushed attention, and rewarded as if with a thunder clap. The delicious, warbling air from L' Allegro, "Sweet Bird," in which the flute and voice alternately con tend with and rival one another, having run— In many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out: was followed by the large and massive chorus from Alexander's Feast, "The many rend the skies," with the last choral crash of which the first part of the full rehearsal was happily and most appro priately brought to a conclusion. It was not until past four o'clock that the second part commenced with the grand double chorus from Deborah, " Immortal Lord." Madlle Titiens then gave, with superb effect ; " Pious Or gies," from Judas Maccabeus. The ever radiant " Let the Bright Seraphim," from Samson, lost no thing of its magic splendour by its interpretation through the silvery voice of Madlle. Carola, and the golden trumpet-notes of Mr. Harper. Thanks to Madame Sainton Dolby's delicious organ, coupled with her admirable mastery of it, and the aid of the most marvellous chorus and double chorus in the world, the selection from Solomon immediately following this, realized with a per fectly astounding majesty of effect and rolling variations of sound, the alternate solo and choral glories of "Music spread thy voice "—" Shake the Dome "—" Draw the tear "—and "Thus rolling surges." As if to vindicate the accuracy of its title as a rehearsal, the performance of to-day was in terrupted at the commencement of the last mentioned air and chorus, and two or three times during its progress by its master-conductor, who was so little satisfied with the general result at the conclusion, that he inexorably commanded its repetition. Finally, as crowning the selection, Madlle. Kellogg prefaced with the brilliant " 0 had I Jubal's Lyre," from Joshua, the triumphal • pomp and electrifying grandeur of that magnifi cent choral song of jubilation, " See the Conquer - ing Hero Comes," from the s tme wonderful oratorio. This sublime chorus was encored with a sort of rapture—the one only encore of the day. It was a song of triumph worthy of celebrating the victory of Jupiter and the Gods over their enemies the Titans. The whole Rehearsal was wound up gloriously with a series of colossal choruses from the Israel in Egypt—the Hail Stone Chorus - the swarming of the flies and lice—the coming down of the darkness, a " darkness which might be felt!" It was sublime. The audience was enormous for a 7s. Gd. day. Admissions by season tickets, 13,554 ; ditto on pay ment, 5,043 ; total visitors, 18,597. ANOTHER. ACCOUNT. The following appeare I in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— The full rehearsal of the principal pieces and choruses to be performed during the approaching great Handel Festival took place this afternoon, and drew one of the most remarkable audiences it has ever been our good fortune to witness within the great glass palace of the people at Syclelahatn• The attendance differed altogether from that of popular days, when the millions are invi ted, and the number of persons present is represen ted b y tens and twenties of thousands; yet, as many persons assembled this afternoon of the higher and edu- cated class as ever yet filled the centre transept, the space beyond it on either side, the galleries, and, in fact, the entire Palace. The co:npany was re markable for the attendance of so many ladies, and the el egance o f th e i r costumes gave such bril liancy and animation to the scene as to render i t a sight of itself. The immense orchestra was filled by chorus and ba n d, an d a ltogether the interior o f the Palace presented a s c e ne of extraordinary gran deur. The ar ti s t es t a ki ng part in the " rehearsal " consisted of Mdlle. C. Nillson, Mdlle. Titiens, Madame L. Sherrington, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Sautley, Mr. Cumming, and a number of others. The programme consisted of a selection from the concerts set down for the three days of the festival, and embraced nearly the whole of the pieces that have become world re nowned. The first of the choruses " rehearsed" was " And the glory" and " II Illelujah" from the ,‘ Messiah." To convey an adequate idea of the performance of the latter would be quite impossible ; it was one of the most extraordinary massings to gether of sound that has ever yet taken place in the world, and to endeavour to give even a faint impression of the enthusiasm and excitement its performance elicited in a hasty notice like the present would be simply and entirely impossible. We can only say that the majestic words and the grand music were given in a manner that created unusual wonder and astonishment. Madame L. Sherrington sang the lovely soprano air from "Saul," "An infant raise]," in the most finished, yet trae, Handelian style. Mr. Santley then made his appearance, and, having received a hearty come, he sang superbly a recitative from Han del's Italian oratorio composed in 1807. But one of the gems of the afternoon was Made moiselle Christine Nillson's rendering of the air, " Wise men Flattering." Words can but faintly express the deep feeliug and pathos this accom plished artiste threw into the air ; every note she sang was Mandel's, and the applause at its conclu sion was tremendous. After the great triumph of Ntllson came forward the great and general favourite, Mr. Sims Reeves, and sang " Deeper and deeper still" and " Waft her, Angels," from " Jephthah,'' in his own incomparable style. The great tenor was in capital voice, and his extraordinary organ made itself heard throughout the entire audience. It is needless to say one word in praise of the execution of these two lovely compositions by Mr. Sims Reeves ; he sings them irreproachably, and every critic has said so a dozen times over and over again. The next selection for the chorus was, " He saw the lovely youth," from tha same oratorio, and it was execu t e d i n ma p ificent style, '.EO test the IDIPERIAL PARLI A KENT HOUSE OF LORDS_LAST EVENING. The LORD CIIINCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack shortly before four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Thames Embankment (Chelsea) Bill and the Metropolitan Tramway Bill were read a second time. SOUTH EASTERN, AND LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANIES BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord CLANRICAR JE mov.al that it be read this day cis months, inasmuch as he considered that it was a retro gression in every respect. It was at variance with all that was proposed by the cli.rter granted to the London, Chatham, and Dover R tilway, and he had always opposed the system upon which our railways wore constructed, but he objected to the principle of this amalg.tmation alti gether, as he consithrol it was, a combination against the public. The matter affected t'ae.whole of the public, and not only the public of England but of Europe, as these lines were connected with the seaboard. He was convinced that the bill was one which would be very much to the disadvantage of the company. Lord WLIARNCILFFE said that he trusted that their lordships would not be . led away by the remar ks of the noble marquis opposite. Re thou g h t th a t th e bill ought to be read a second time, and that it sho u ld then be referred to a select commute!. He quite agreed with the remark of the noble marquis that he was taking an un usual course. The course taken was neither novel or un usual, and all the objections were obj ictions in detail, and not on the principle of the bill. The Duke of RICHMOND said that ho thought ii would bo useful th at the bill should go bAore a selec committee. L erd FORTESCIJE said he could not consider but that the noble marquis had done great service in bringing forward these impudent stipulations laid down by these companies, and he was glad that all the job ber y and bad m a n ag mnent should be e xposed, and for th is ne g lect on t he part of the share holders ho did not think that . the p u bli c s h ou ld be called u pon After a few remarks from Lord CHICHESTER in supportupon to pay for by increased prices in railway of the bill, Lord REDESDALE strongly approved the suggestion of referring the bill to a Select Committ ee , as the best c ourse that could be taken with it, th oug h h e qu it e agree d with the Marquis of Clanricarde that the subject could not be efficiently considered before any committee. A larger cons id era ti o n of the facts of the case was wanted than could be got before a committee, and what was really wanted was i n a broad n railwayeh manner for the board to deal with all schemes andc ensiv e comprehensive in formation of Parliament. Lord Taunton supported the reference to a S elect Committee, and Lord Grey spoke briefly in favou r of a competent rail way boar d to which to refer such ques tions. a efficient Eventually the Marquis of CLANRICARDE with drew his a mendment, and the bill was read a second time and referred to a select committee. In reply to a question from the Marquis TOWNSIIEND, as to issuing a Royal Commission to inquire into the ad ministration of the Poor Laws, Lord DEVON said that ho would give the noble marquis the fullest information in reply to any question he might put, but ho thought there was not the least necessity for a Royal Commission. After a few observations, the Army Chaplains Bill passed through committee pro forms, and their lordships then adjourned. lOUSE OP CO.IINIONS-LAST EVENING The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NORTH WESTERN AND 0111RINU-CROSS RAILROAD. Mr. T.IIUGIIES asked the Vice-Presidon t of the Board of Trade whether it svaa the intention of the Board of Trade to grant a certificate of abandonment to the North Western and Charing-cra s Ro.ilway, considering th 3 re port of the joint committee of both Houses of Parfitment in favour of this line? Mr. CAVE said ho was not able to giva a distinct answer, as the time did not expire until the 21th of Jun'. Ile could not say that the joint committee of both houses un reservadly recommended the making of the railway; it was the opinion of the committee that unless three new streets were made the bill ought not to be proceeded with. EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. _ _ if her Majesty's Gov ernment ware o f o pinion that the Act of Indemnity pass e d b y the L)g i s l at i va Chamber of Colonel B. KN ox as k el tha Firs t L or d of the Treasury Ja maica, and confirmed by an Geier in C auncil of the Homo Government, was or was not a protection to Ex-Governor Byre for all acts done under martial law during the re bellion in the Island of Jamaica ; and, if not, will her Ma jesty's Government undertake to bring in a bill to protect Governor Eyre from further prosecutions ? Mr. DISRAELI said the highostlegal authorities had de clinedgive an opi n i on as to th e extent of the power of the Act of Indem n i ty, and there f ore ho could not be ex pected to do so. With respect to the latter part ho had to say that it was not the intention of the Government to bring iu any such bill. O,lonel B. KNOX asked the right hon. gentler - run if he was aware that the late Government had consulted the law oflizers of the Crown, whose opinion ho had in pocket? _ _ _ Mr. DISRAELI did not refer merely to the late law officers of the Crown when he said the highest legal autho rities had been consulted. (Bear, hear.) AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE. In reply to Mr. CHILDERS, Mr. ADDERLEY said the despatches referred to had been received, and if the hoe. gentleman moved for them there would be no objection to their production. RIT UALIS3i IN INDIA. In reply to Mr. KINSA/RD, Sir S. NORTIICOTE said he was aware that certain of her Majesty's troops, viz., the GOth Rifles, had objected to the manner in which the religious services were perfor med at the church they had to attend in India, the great objection being that the chaplain turned his back on the congregation during the c 3 lebration of the communion. Some of the soldiers had expressed a wish to go to th o place. Sir William Mansfie ld considered the letters were particularly' and the e some corres p on dence took on the p er t o f the chap l a i n, and officer.par ticularly (Laughter.) The chaplain was the sa me as had acted under Bishop C o tton, which he thoug ht w as quite sufficient to prove his or th o doxy. However , after some consult dim an arrange ment had boon com e to, b y w hich free liberty was given Presbyterian r theologicalian military Ch urch o ri the part o f the to every officer and soldier to attend that church and that form of worship which he pleased. (Hear.) This having been, he believed, satisfacto r ily arangel, he thought no further tr ouble mi ght b 3 taken in the matter. Mr. B. HOPE a sked whether t he hon. gentleman was aware that a new ch a p lain h ad boon appointed to the church of Fort William, and that no ritualistic per formances now took place: Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he was not aware of any such thing. THE CASE OE SERGEANT STONE. o pe. isl for o f ee.

The final hat took place yesterday evening between the winners of the preceding day, when, as before, a time race was rowed, the boats starting 210 feet apart. Hall and Bowman had the first station, but Veasey and Aston gained on them from the onset, and when the university men got too near the bank at Sounder's Bridge they very much improved their position. From the above point Hal and Bowman had little chance, as their opponents rowed surprisingly well, and won easily, Hall and Bowman giv ing up when they found they were beaten. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) ACTION FOR LIBEL AGAINST THE " DAILY TELE- GRAPH." This was an action to recover compensation in damages against the proprietors of the Daily Tele graph for an alleged libel which appeared in the columns of that journal. The defendants denied the libel. Mr. Sergeant B trry opened the cuss by stating that M. Risk Allah was a Turk belonging to the Greek Church, and had been educated as a surgeon ; was a man of very high attainments and station ; he had been smt to the camp of Omar Pasha and distinguished himself in his professional capacity. He afterwards was sent to England, and there he met with a Miss Lewis, a lady possessed of considerable property, and who had one nephew. He married her, and she afterwards fell into bad health at Paris. Risk Allah was tele graphed for from Constantinople, when he found her very ill. She was ordered to Baden- Baden, in Germany, and subsequently died at Brussels. A great sensation was caused by her death, and it was alleged that Risk Allah was ac cessory to it. He was brought before the tribunals, there charged with murder and forgery. The lat ter charge was preferred on the supposition that he had forged a will constituting him guardian of the nephew, to whom £20,000 was left. The young man was subsequently found shot, and Risk Allah was charged with murder. He was acquitted of all charges, and it was considered that the boy hal committed suicide. At the time of the trial comments were made by the foreign correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, which Risk Allah alleged were libellous, and for these having been inserted to his detriment the present action was brought. The case was proceeding when we went to press. 21ARKETS-7 HIS DAY. COLONIAL AND FOREIUN PRODUCE. COURSE 0.1 4 ' EXCHANGE—Last Er•e?ting.

BOOK TRADE OF LEfrziC.—bc;ipzic. is the centre, as is well known, of a large bookselling trade, producing 8,000 or 10,000 works per annum. In 1867, a bad year, 9,355 works ware published. The statistics of the trade show that books on philosophy aro less in demand than they used to be, but school books are more so. Treatises ou medicine, chemistry, and natural sciences are increas ing; jurisprudence the same; loss so theology. Lan-, guages are more and more in request, as also are history biography, and memoirs. Novels and light literature are comparatively neglected. PRINTING EXTRAORDINARY. — TriaI is being made of a new machine at the Times office, which is expected to transcend anything yet extant. The paper is made in an immense length, and delivered out from a roller. Tho machine is intended to print 46,000 sheets, or 23,000 per feet copies per hour, which is a greater number than has ever yet been accomplished ; and. it also cats the paper into sheets, folds them, and records the number printed. Some of these machines are at present in use in tho United States, but the highest number reached is 15,000 copio an hour.
