Other rehearsals among the local choirs and choral societies are occurring from clay to day, and everything betokens a most success ful issue to this great musical celebration, which is admitted on all hands to be as unparalleled in extent and grandeur as it is unapproachable throughout the world for excellence of performance. In order to give some idea of the extent and liberality of the arrangements which have been made with the great railway companies for excur sion trains to the Palace during the Handel Festival, the following particulars may be interest- mg :-- On the Llndon and North-Western Railway, and its numerous connecting lines, trains will run on the 11th (day before the Great Rehearsal), allowing either three or ten days for the return jonrney from no less than 17G stations, including all the principal towns in Wales, Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and the other important dis tricts traversed by these company's line:, The second-class from Carnarvon and back (500 miles) is 183. ; from Aberystwith aid back, 17s. Gd. ; Leels and back, 133.; and the other fares are in the same low ratio. Day excursions on the 12th and 15th June will also run from Northampton and Peterborough, and intermediate places, at a second class return fare of ss. By the Midland Railway, excursions for three or ten days will run from nearly 100 stations in York shire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Nottinghatnshir e, &c., the second-class return fares from Liverpool and Manchester being 153. Day excursions on the 12th and 15th will also run from most of these places at fares like the following :—Bradford and back, 83. ; Derby, Leicester, or Nottingham and back, Gs. On the Great Northern Railway similar arrange ments have been made. The three or ten days ex cursions run from llalifax at 13.3. Gd. second-class return ; York and back, 13s. The day excursions oa this line are on the same liberal scale. A. train will leave York at 12.15 a.m. cn the 12th June, and calling at Doncaster, Retford, Newark, Grantham, Stamford, and iatermeliate stations, will arrive at King's-cross at a quarter-past 8 in the morning, returning fro:n King's-cro33 at 8.33 the sane even ing. The fare fro.n York an-I back is only Bs. E:ght shillings f 333 miles, with 11 hours, if de sired, in the Crystal Palace ! Oa the North Eastern Railway a train will ruu onWedueslay, June 10, from Kelso, Berwick, Ala wick, Morpeth, and .11exhatn, to Newcastle, from which town a train will start for Loudon early in the morning of the 11th, returning to the North on Thursday, June 18. For the entire journey from Kelso to Loudon and back (G 92 miles), the second class fare is only 255. On the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, the South Eastern, South Western, London and Brighton, London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Western Lines, corresponding arrangements for excursions to the Festival have been snide. A very important s will case commenced on Wednesday in the Court of Probate, Dublin, before Judge Keatinge. It was a suit to establish the will of the late Lady Esmonde, by which, among other bequests, she left £30,006 to Trinity College for the purpose of founding a college in thD county of Wexford, in connection with the University cf Dublin, to be called " The Grogan College." The deceased lady, at the time of her marriage with Sir Thomas EsmOncle, was the widow of the late Mr. Grogan Morgan, of Johnstown Castle, who gave her by deed, a life interest in his landed • estates, and made her the absolute owner of his personal property, which was - considerable. On her marriage with Sir Thomas Esmonde, in 1856, a marriage settlement was executed, by which her life in terest in the Johnstown Castle estates, worth from £15,C00 to 0.0,00 a year, and her personal estate, was settled - in the strictest manner upon herself, for her sole and separate use, and power was given to Ler to dispose of all the personal property of which she was possessed, by deed or by will, as she thought proper. The will now in question was executed on the fith of August, 1857, about five months previous to the death of Lady Esmonde. It is impeached by Sir Thomas Esmonde, her husband, and Lord and Lady Granard, her son in-law and her daughter, on the ground that it was obtained from her by undue influence, exercised and practised by Mrs. Deane Morgan, the eldest daughter of the testatrix, and the Rev. Edward Hughes, a Protestant clergyman. The case of the executors is that lady Esmonde was deeply attached to the Protestant religion, that she supported Protestant charities in the neighbourhood of Johnstown Castle, and that her daughter, Lady Granard, having become a Roman Catholic, she changed whatever testamentary inten tions she may have previously had in her favour, and determined to devote her personal property to pur poses of a religious and of a Protestant character. Lady Gran and has, by her mother's death, become entitled to £12,000 a year, and Mrs. Deane Morgan to £5,000 a year. Sir Thomas Esmonde, who is a Roman Catholic, is a man of large property. The case is likely to last some days. THE SUN, LONDON, FHIDAY EVENING, JUiN E 5,186 S. 11+"rER Tim ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, • COVENT-GIARDEN-EVANS' TO SUP.

The house, then went into committee of supply. Lord It. MONTAGU mov, d the estimate for public education, which he explained was a reduction of £61,230 upon the original estimate, consequent upon the with drawal of the Education ILhi. It still, however, pre sented an increase upon the esticaute of the p•evious year amounting to £75,459, instead of £136,689. Of the increase £39,770 was duo to the working of Mr. Corry's minute of February, 1867, and the remainder, £35,689, to the ordinary augmentation of aided y s a c n i s i d o ch o t l.

The individual examinations for grants in day schools showed an increase of 30,532, and in night schools 9,091. In classes for reading, writing, and arithmetic there was au increase of 30,313. The population of Great Britain in April last was calculated at 25,092,168, and of that number the children between three and fifteen years of ago amounted to 6,849,120. If, then, every one of these children were at school six years there must be in the re ceipt of instruction at one time 3,424,561. Tho total num bet at school, however, was 3,091,531. In other words, there were 333,033 children who ought to be, and who were not, at school throughout England and Wales. These figures told their own tale, and showed how great had been the advance of the work of education of late years. Mr. H. BRUCE pointed out that in the factory districts, it was a plain fact that sixty out of every hundred of the residect inhabitants between the ages of thirteen and six teen were unable to read or write. The broad result was that not one-half of the working population had oven the semblance of education, and the time had arrived when the house must consider what steps should be taken to found a national system of education. Ile was fully pre pared to admit the progresS which had been made, but he must protest against any cessation of effort in the future. The usual criticisms followed from both sides of the Speaker's chair, the main subject of discussion being the Education Bill of the Government, withdrawn recently from the consideration of the Uppar House. The education vote was then agreed to. On the vote of £141,695 to complete the sum necessary to defray the charge for expenses in the Department of Science and Art, a long discussion ensued, but it was ultimately agreed to by 54 to 34. Several other votes wero agreed to without discussion Progress was ultimately reported, and leave given to sit again. The remaining b-siness on the paper was disposed of, and the hous'e adjourned. CRYSTAL PALACE. HANDEL FESTIVAL. The preparations for this great triennial celebra tion may now be said to he complete in all respects. The whole of the instrumental band has been en gaged, comprising the most eminent professional and amateur instrutnentalists from all quarters, both native and foreign ; and when it is stated that the stringed instruments alone will number something like four hundred and twenty, a slight idea may be formed of the extent of this vast orchestra. The Chorus will number in all little short of three thousand five hundred. Of these, two thousand two hundred arc the amateurs assem bling at Exeter Hall for rehearsal, from the metro politan districts. The country chorus has been mainly selected from the Midland and Northern dis tricts ; the Birmingham Festival Choir, the Brad ford and Leeds Choralists forming the nualeus of the two most important provincial divisions. The well-known reputation of these vocalists is a suffi cient guarantee for their usefulness in strengthening the great mass of the Handel Festival Chorus. From Norwich, Manchester, and Liverpol, and from Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester consi derable contingents have been eng and at all these. places such portions of the music to be per formed at the Festival as is new to the choir and to the public has been sent down and adequately re hearsed prior to the arrival of the vocalists iu Lon don. The places above-named furnish about two thirds of the provincial chorus, but a number of other cathedral towlas will help to make up a total of upwards of twelve hundrel of the best provincial choralists that can be obtained. The entire orchestra will consist of four thousand performers, and when it is borne in mind that the greatest care has been exercised in the selection of every performer, and that the strictest discipline is carried out in the orchestra (every seat. in which is numbered and appropriated to a particular lady or gentleman), it is obvious that an ensemble may be looked for on this occasion which has not been at tained in any of the previous great celebrations. The music to ba performed on the second day of the Festival (Wednesday, June 17) has occupied considerable attention. The object of this, the " Selection" day—to many musical enthusiasts the 'most interesting of the three—is to give such a selection of Handel's compositions as shall exem plify his very varied styles. It will include the overture to the " Occasional Oratorio," which, with its broad, imposing march, performed by such an orchestra, must be highly effective. This will be followed by a selection from " Saul," including the universal favourite, "Envy, eldest born of hell." Two choruses, probably new to ninety-nine out of every hundred of the audience, will then ba given— " Now, Love, that everlasting boy," from " Semele,' and " He saw the lovely youth," from " Theodora," the latter of which is stated to have been regarded by Handel as one of his happiest efforts. The great chorus from "Alexander's Feast," "The many rend the skies," will also be included in the programme ; and besides some miscellaneous solos, the celebrated " Passion Choruses," from " Solomon," will be in troduced. The third part will terminate with the famous chorus from " Judas Maccabeus," " See, the conquering hero comes." It will thus be evident that a selection of the most varied and interesting character will be insured for the second day of the Festival. It has not been the custom at former Handel Festivals to announce the soli vocalists until within a short time of the performances. It may, however, be stated that these will furnish an array of talent not less effective than the choral and instrumental portions of the orchestra. Foremost among the artistes engaged are Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Santley. Air. Sims Reeves will sustain the principal tenor part in the " Messiah" and " Israel in Egypt," and on the " Selection" day will sing " Deeper and deeper still," and " Sound an alarm." Mr. Santley will take the principal bass part in the two orato rios, and on the " Selection" day will sing " 0 ruddier than the cherry," and " 0 voi del erebo," from Handel's Italian oratorio, " Resurrezzonie." This song was a great favourite with Signor Lablache, and has probably not been heard in public since his retirement and death. Mdlle. Titiens will appear on each day of the Festival. Besides taking the principal parts in the Messiah" and " Israel in Egypt," this lady will sing on the " Selection" day " Pious Orgies"—and " Lascia ch'io pianga," an Italian aria from " Ri naldo." .At rehearsal, and on the " Selection" day Mdile. Christine Nilsson will sing " From mighty kings," and " Wise men flattering ;" and will also sing the duet, " 0 lovely peace," with Madame Sainton-Dolby. To Mdlle, Kellogg has been appor tioned the popular air, " 0, had I Jabal's lyre." M ille. C trola will sing " Let the bright seraphim," (accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper), and Ma lame Lem:pens-Sherrington the well-known air, " Sweet bird," from " L'Affigro," with flute obli gato accompaniment. _ _ _ It will thus be seen that such a combination of soil artistes has never before been presented to the public at a Handel Festival. The preparations for rendering the Great Tran sept of the Crystal Palace acoustically perfect have been in active progress , for many months. The appliances by which this will be accomplished are ready to be fixed in their respective places imme diately, and in this respect it may be. fairly as serted that a surprise is in store for the patrons of the festival.

THE PRUSSIAN DRAGOONS. In reply to Sir G. STIJCLEY, Sir J. PA KiNGTON said that the subject of sabros was out of his department, but he would take care that the st•ttement should be subatittod to the Commander-in- Chief. Sir T. BATESON inquired whether the attention o the Government had been drawn to a letter written by Mr. Gialstone, dated the 23th of May, with reference to the Eat Worcstershire vlr , etion, iu which (according to tho honourable baronet) rho right hon. gentlemtn stited that it was the intention of her M ~ psty's G wornmcnt, during the prey ?nt session to endow the Roman Catholic Church in Boland, - and also to crea'e a nem In Catholic Uni versity, plying its expens!s out of the t•lxes of the coun try, and he wish-al to know how far such statement WAS correct. Mr. DISRAELI Was afraid the hon. gentleman bad falln into a trap, very nizely baited. The- attention of the Cabinet was called to the letter in question. He, as its heal, believed it to be one of the effusions known as i 4 squibs," and sometimes as "hoaxes." It was not con ceived in the most happy style of the member for South Lancashire —were it really his ; and under all the circum stances ho had - given no further - consideration to the matter. Subsequently, on the motion for going into Committee o Supply, Mr. GLADSTONE denied altogether the accuracy of the statement as rna'lo.. Ile would not defend the style of his letter, although he fully admitted the authorship. He had carefully avoided saying that the Government had made any such proposal. IL did not in that communica tion hold the Government up to odium because they pro posed to endow the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland All his letter said was that the Government were friendly to religious equality in Ireland, provided it was done by endowing other Churches, including the Roman Church. He had since heard that a direct proposition had been made to Lord Derby, prior to his retirement from office, to in crease the Regiueu Donut; and his reply was simply that at that period it was impossible, as the estimates were made out. Ills own letter, Mr. Gladstone maintained, was a fair and inevitable construction put on the assertions made, and Ly it he would still abide. He declined to pro nounce any opinion on the criticism of Mr. Disraeli ; at all times he (Mr. Gladstone) was prepared to receive such small shot, but he still firmly and unequivocally stood by thelpttor ho had written. . _ Mr. DISRAELI said that the right hon. gentleman evidently meant to say that the Government were at one time seriously disposed to increase the Regium Doaum. In reference to that, he had onlyrec3ntly received a depu tation from the Presbytery of Ulster, and the answer given was that the suggestion was totally impossible. Everyone, he told the deputation, agreed that the Regium D o num was a very poor pittance compared with the other re ligious endowments i n Irelan d , b u t th a t the present t e mper of the House of C ommons cou ld no t h o ld out any prospect of increase. That was his emphatic reply to the statement that the Government had any idea of endowin g every religious body in Ireland, whereas all they said to the representatives of the Regium Donum was that they would, but that they could not, increase the amount, as the estimates were framed. He condemned these charges as frivolous, and such as the country would not receive. Mr. CARDWELL said that the Government had held out the bait of a " Liberal policy" towards Ireland ; but the only distinguishing feature in it was to propose to grant a charter to a Roman Catholic university. Its ex per-es were to be defrayed out of the taxes; and with re gard `o the affiliated colleges, their further consideration was oned. Th e rl of MAYO defended the original statement cf the Government. With regard to the establishment of a university ir the Catholics, he had distinctly averred that it was not intended to propose any endowment for the colleges to be affiliated. Certainly if Parliament had sanc tioned the endowment of the university it would not logically have refused the amount of the salaries for its professors. The objection taken by the Roman Catholics themselves was that the endowment was not satisfactory. They demanded that Parliament should bo asked to pro vide for the establishment of scholarships for the univer sity and the affiliated colleges. With regard to any in tention on the part of the Government to endow the Ro man Catholic Church in Ireland, it never existed. No man in his senses would over have made such a proposal. If ever tho time for it existed it must have very long ago passed by. After a few words from Sir G. GREY and Mr. SURTEES, the latter commenting on the political conduct of Mr. Reardon, the member for Athlone, whom Mr. Gladstone on a previous evening had disclaimed as one of his supporters, the subject dropped. Some remarks from General DUNNE on the positim of clerks in the eng'neer department, especially in reference to the right of pensions fur their wide ws, grant ).1 to other civil officers of the department, followed. Mr. CHILDERS then wished to know how much Sap ' ply the Government were going to ask for pending what had been termed a dissolution "as soon as possible." For how Many months? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was somewhat inconvenient to have a question of this chanc ter put without duo notice. The Reform Bill hal boon pessed for England, but not for Scotland or Ireland. It was perfectly impossible to:say when a dissolution was practicable. He trusted that no doubt existed anywhere that the Government had the utmost desire to . bring about such an event as soon as possibld'. • The Supplies to lie granted must of course depend on the time at which the dissolution took place; and under such circumstances 'the house could hardly expect the Government to say what SLAVERY IN BRAZIL. If the war in Paraguay has not been beneficial to any one else, it has been so to the slaves in Brazil, of whom up to March, 1867, 829 have been libe rated for service in Paraguay. The high price of slaves and the scanty population, have been the chief obstacles to the abolition of slavery in Brazil. During 1866 the prices were at Bahia—African males, £162 10s. ; females, £lOB 6s. Bd. ; Creole males, £l3O, and if knowing a trade, £216 13s, 4d.; females, £B6 13s. 4d. The Consul at Rio Grande do Sul reports :—" Holders of slaves have found it difficult to keep up the prices, since there is an im pressionthat the Government may be forced to liberate slaves for the purpose of finding men for the war in Paraguay." At the same timehereports the prices of the best African slaves, male, £173 6s. Bd. ; female, £167 18s. 4d. ; and of the best Creole, male, £195 ; female, £173 6s. Bd. At the present time Brazil possesses more slaves than any other country, their number being roughly estimated at three millions. In 1860 a bill was introduced into the Brazilian Chambers to abolish public sales 'by auction, sepa ration of members of a family, to authorize slaves to purchase their freedom on the death of their masters, and to exempt from taxation sales of slaves for agricultural employment ; but this was rejected, as was also a similar measure during the following year. In 1865 it was proposed to abolish slavery at the end of ten years, but this also was rejected. In 1866 the Benedictine monks, owners of 3,000 slaves, declared that all children born of these slaves after May 3 of that year should be free; but the Carmelite monks let out 78 slaves for a term of twenty years for £4OO a year, or about 10 per cent, on the value of the slaves. The Brazi lian Minister for Foreign Affairs wrote in 1866, in reply to the Paris Society for the Abolition of Slavery, that when the war with Paraguay should be ended " the Brazilian Government would regard as an object of the first importance the realization of what the spirit of Christianity has long since demanded from the civilized world." On this the slaveowners, alarmed, raised an opposition, and drew from the Government the following ex planation :—" The Government did not say that, when the war had terminated, they would take im mediate steps to extinguish slavery ; the document which emanated from the Foreign Office completely destroyed such inference. What the Government said was, that the emancipation of slaves in Brazil is a question of how it is to be done (forma), and of opportunity. To have said less than this, in answer to the Foreign Society's letter, would have been to, retrograde to the doc trine of Aristotle, now overthrown by the light of the Gospel as well as th a of philosophy, on the lawfulness of slavery in face of natural right. To have said more would have been to us irp the pre rog alive of the Chambers, to whom, and not to the Executive power, belongs the decreeing of the time and manner of extinguishing slavery. Agriculture is our, at chief industry, and present it depends on slave labour. To suppress slavery , having moral, religious, and philosophical sentim ents only in view, would be to sacrifice private property and the good of the State, as also to put off to an indefinite time the solution of the problem of free I.ibour in the empire ; it would also be compromising public and private fortunes." The Pall -Mall Gazette considers that in view of the mart opened by Beni' and the high pricl of slaves, Lord Stanley may yet think it well to insist on a new slave trade convention before repealing the Aberdeen Act. r. LAW AND POLICE. THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT.—In the Court of Queen's Bench the matter of Mr. Ashford was heard. In this in. stance there was a rule calling upon Sir Robert Carden and Mr. Graves, the eminent publisher, to chew cause why the first-named gentleman should not state a special case for the consideration of this court upon thirty seven complaints made by Mr. Graves against Mr. Ashford, a printsoller of Cheapside, who was fined for unlawfully selling photographs of " The Railway Station" and other pictures, the copyright of which was said to belong to Mr. Graves. The point for Ashford was that the engravings were not sold or delivered by him, but that only a contract was made for the sale. The rule was made absolute, so that a special case will have to be stated. A QUESTION ro a THE JURY.—The Bail Court was occupied for nearly a whole day in hearing a case where . Mr. Levy, a general merchant, brought an action to reel vcr £5O on a bill of exchange, alleged to have been accepted by Mr. Bishop, an attorney's clerk. Five persons were sworn, who said that to the best of their belief -and they had frequent opportunities of judging—the hand writing of the acceptance was that of the defendant. For the defendant it was stated that the acceptance was a clever forgery, and two persons were called who swore in direct opposition to the idence tendered on behalf of the plaintiff. • The jury ultimately found for the plaintiff fur the amount claimel DnEacn OF CONTIIICT. In the Court of Common Pleas the judges deci(lcd :he case of Claydon v. Green, which was an action for breach of contract. It arose out of the sale of a public house with a provision in the agreement to transfer the license. It turned out that the license was taken out in the name of the defendant's son, who was abroad in America, and under the General Licensing Act the license could not, therefore, be transferred. The vendor had, therefore, no power to perform his contrast. The action having been turned into a special case, the court gave judgment for the plaintiff, and awarded him £lO2 14s. 3d. damages. CURIOUS CASE of ASSAULT.—The same court heard the appeal of Mr. Ashby, an officer connected with the burial ground of St. Pancras, against his conviction for assault by a metropolitan magistrate. The burial board granted a private grave to Mrs. Ann Rowbot tom, for the burial of her husband, in perpetuity ; but by a provision of the board, which applied to all tombstones, &c., if the-grave were not kept in good repair the grant would be void. Since that grant was made, the board, for good reasons, have prohibited any persons other than then appointed to set Rowers and seeds on the graves. Since the death of Mr. lloWbottom, Harris, a gardener, has always been in the habit of planting flowers on his master's last resting place ; but one day Mrs. Harris was sent, and was ordered off the ground by the appellant, and, not com plying with his request, was by him turr ed out, which was the assault complained of, and for wh'cli the magistrate convicted Ashby, For the appellant it was submitted that the assault was a justifiable one, as Mrs. Harris was planting flowers contrary to the order of the board ; whilst on the other side it was urged that the orders of the board could not affect Mrs. Rowbottom, as the grant was made to her before - any restrictions were made.—The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that the conviction was correct. Even admitting the absence of restriction, the grant was made with the proviso that the grave should be kept in good repair, and could that be so it a lot of weeds were allowed to grow all over it ?—Rule discharged. THE EARL OF SHAFTESI3URY AND MS STEWARD.—The case of Mr. Waters, the late steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, should have come before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd in the Bankruptcy Court. At a former sitting it appeared that the accounts between the bankrupt and the earl were being taken in a suit in Chancery, and that it was desirable the result should be ascertained. It was now stated to the court that the bankrupt was suffering from an attack of smallpox, and a medical certificate was produced to that effect.. In the absence of the bank rupt, the commissioner adjourned the proceedings till November. ILLEGALLY 'USING CORPORATION WATER.—At Bolton Police•court, Daniel Cain was charged with the above named offence. It appeared that the defendant paid for water for brewing purposes only, whereas he had also used it for the supply of the steam boiler and engine. A fine of 10s. and costs was imposed. The same man was also fined ss. and costs for affixing a lead pipe to a com munication pipe. HOPEFUL—At Boston (Lincolnshire), on Wed nesday, wheat declined in price to the extent of tis. per quarter. In barley, says the report, " nothing was doing," and oats remained stationary. ILL-TREATING A Boy.—A man named James Wynn has been charged at the Wolverhampton Police court with ill-treating his son, a boy 9 years old. Evi dence was given to shew that the prisoner's wife died in April last, and left him with three children, of whom the boy is the oldest. He wished the boy to nurse the other children, but as he did not do so satisfactorily he took a dog-chain and chained him up in the house in such a way as to occasion great discomfort to the lad. A sofa was near the place where the lad was chained, but he was not able to sit or lie upon it. The prisoner was remanded. At a meeting of the Leeds Town Council on Thursday, the mayor stated that of the £l,OOO granted to him by the corporation for certain expenses in connection with the Prince of Wales's visit, he had spent only £633. If no additional accounts were sent in he would have pleasure in handing over some £360 to the borough trea• surer. At the same meeting, two members of the council endeavoured to force every member of the corporation to provide himself with a cocked hat, to wear on special public occasions. The councillors, generally that they would be laughing-stocks, refuse d to accede to the proposal. considering The Belgian papers publish a letter, dated May 23, from Miss Burdett Contts to M. Wouters-Tiry, the president of the Liege excursionists to England, in which she thanks them for the present of the beautiful album presented to her in their name by Baron du Jardin, the Belgian Minister in London. In it she says :--" A slight indisposition, which compelled me to leave London, has alone prevented me from not sooner returning these few words of thanks. I beg of you, sir, to be my interpreter to those who have joined in the idea of affording me so much pleasure, and of causing me such a delicate and charming surprise." TIIE BATH AND 'WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY'S SIIOW.—The present meeting at Falmouth is expected to be one of the most succersful ever held by the society. The half-crown produced astonishing results. During the Oay 8,400 persons paid for entrance, producing £1,050, against 5,049 persons and £607 receipts the corresponding day last year. Not only were the visitors on this third day 3,350 more than at Salisbury last year, but they were 3,530 more than at the previous year's exhibition, 4,190 more than at Exeter in 1803, nearly 2,000 more than at Wells in 1862, axd 1,120 more than at Truro in 1801. Hereford and Bristol are the only recent instances wllea the Wednesday has been in excess of '1 husday's munlwv ; and it is no disgrace to Falmouth to have been diski eel by such competitors,—Wcstcrn Morning Nays,
