In Mexican dollars there has been little ' D ing. An exceptional order for China for to tiorrow's mail necessitated the purchase of a limited amount at 59k, but as no further inquiry is to be expected in the same direction, the next which are received will probably only realise the previous rate, ° ail. The arrivals of eagles from America are still ' v e e ry considerable, and th er e is no p resen t i n di ca ti on °' any falling off in the importation ; but notwith- Prurling this circumstance, and the high state of the ench Ex c h ange , th e w h o l e i s f orwar d e d t o th e Con tinent, and the demand is rather stronger than it was Reek or two since.

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 Landon 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 hausti,,n, 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 Grand Days (Monlay), shall have arrived. We speak from our 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'clock pre cisely, 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 the orchestra, rose at the pealing forth of the opening words of &he 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 produced 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 " Occasional 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 illaccabens— " 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 same 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. Trade to grant a certificate of abandonment to the North Western and Charing-cross Railway, considering the re port of the joint committee of both Houses of Parliament in favour of this lino? Mr. CAVE said ho was not able to give a distinct answer, as the time did not expire until the 24th of June. lie could not say that the joint committee of both houses un reservedly 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. Colonel B. KNOX asked tho First Lord of the Treasury if her Majesty's Govarnmont were of opinion that the Act of Indemnity passed by the L Chamber of Ja maica, and confirmed by an Orier in Council of the Home Government, was or was not a protection t..) Ex-Governor Eyre for all acts done under martial law during the re bellion in the Island of Jamaica ; and, if no', will her Ma jesty's Government undertake to bring in a bill to protect Governor Eyre from further prosecutions ? Mr. DISRAELI said the highestlegal authorities had de clined to give an opinion as to the extent of the power of the Act of Indemnity, and therefore he 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. Colonel B. KNOX asked the right hon. gentleman if he was aware that the late Government had consulted the law offi , :ers of the Crown, whose opinion he had in his 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. (Hear, hear.) ....... 4 6 LAW IN TELLIGE NC E.—This • Dv, .__.4,- _ THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief J astice and a Speci. a 2 Jury.) ACTION FOR LIBEL AGAINST TUE " TELE GRAPH." This was an action to recover cpmpensztion in damages against the proprietors of the bail w Tele graph for an alleged libel which appeared in the columns of that journal. The defendants denied the libel. Mr. Sergeant Barry opened the case 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 sent to the camp of Oma r Pasika 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 Germ tny, 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 m•irder 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 120,000 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 consi lerel that the boy had 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. 711 E BOILLI? EXPLOSION ON TILE THAMES. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Charles Thomas and William Hewitt, firemen on board the Pilot, steam tug, whose deaths were caused by the explosion of one of the boilers of that vessel while proceeding down the Thames, off Cliffe-point, on a trial trip after repairs to the engine, on the 28th of May, was held at the Town Hall, Gravesend, yesterday, before Mr. E. A. Hilder, coroner for the borough. Mr. Thomas Gray, assistant secre tary to the Board of Trade, was present during the inquiry, also Mr. T. W. Traill and Mr. S. W. Snowden, surveyors to the Board. Mr. Sharland, solicitor, attended on be half of Mr. Buckland, the superintending engineer under the contract for repairs. Richard Owen Davis, the owner of the vessel, stated that the vessel left the Terrace-pier at noon, with 28 persons on board. Soon after the vessel started it was found by the slow movement of the engine that there was something wrong, and the attention of Mr. Buck , land, the engineer, was called to the circumstance. In about 20 minutes, while passing Cliffe, one of the boilers exploded, the two firemen being in the engine-room at the time. 'Thomas was got out and laid upon the deck. He was much injured by scalding, but still alive. The body of Hewitt was removed from the engine-room, dead. Thomas expired at the Gravesend Infirmary a few hours afterwards. Charles Buckland, the superintending engineer, said he was not satisfied with the state of the engine a day or two prior to the trial trip, and expressed his dissatisfaction to the contractor, who promised to make the necessary alterations. Oa the day of the trial trip the engine thumped a little, and as they proceeded the speed decreased. He went below to ascertain the cause, and found that the expansion throttle-valves had closed, which shut in the steam. The contractor undertook to remedy the defect by tying the valves open, which was done. The gauge indicated a pressure of 51b. only. While witness was engaged pointing out to the engineer of the vessel that there wrs something wrong the explosion occurred. When he saw the boiler plate afterwards he formed an opinion that the accident had occurred from an over-pressure of steam. William Juniper Cooper, the contractor, said that when they started on the trial trip the indicator showed 151 b. pressure of steam. The engine moved slowly, performing 20 revolutions a minute. It ought to have made 38. Ile could not account for it. He tied the expan sion-valve open. The explosion occurred ten mi nutes afterwards. In cross-examination by Mr. Snowden, the witness said that the stop-valves were in order. The valves were weighted at 211 b. the square inch. Alfred Thomas Mudd, engineer to the Pilot, could only account for the explosion by supposing that the stays of the boiler might have been insufficient. William Reid, a boiler maker at Old Ford, Bow, stated that he ex amined the engine of the Pilot the day after the explosion. He was not directed to do so by any one. He found a rent in the bottom plate of the boiler. The plate was much decayed. The boiler was badly constructed. There was a want of stays. He touched the valve outside. The Coroner said that the witness had no right to interfere with the engine at all. Thomas 'William Traill, Surveyor to the Board of Trade, said he inspected the vessel in question in conjunction with Mr. Snowden. lie went on board on Thursday and was told that some one had been there before by order of the Board of Trade, which he knew was untrue. He was of opinion that the communication-valves had been shifted, and that the screw on the top of the safety-valve of the port boiler had been recently moved. 'lie did not think that the pressure would have burst the boiler had both the safety-valves acted properly ; at the same time he thought it was an injudicious pressure to have them weighted at, owing to the weakness of the furnaces. Had there been a stay put in the furnaces the explosion, in his opinion, might have been prevented, provided the safety-valves had worked properly. Ile had tested the gauge, and ascertained that it did not vary half a pound at any point. He felt sure that the boiler did not explode upon 41b. or Mb. pressure. The valve must have been closed. Mr Snowden, the other surveyor, fully corroborated the statement of the last witness. The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," to which was appended an expression of regret at the unauthorized interference with the engine by Mr. Reid. The coroner drew the atten tion of those present to a clause in the Merchant Shipping Act, under which any person unduly weighting a safety-valve rendered himself liable to a penalty of £lOO. AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE. In reply to Mr. CHILDERS, Mr. ADDERLEY said the deeptches referral to had been receive -I, and if the hon. gentlem is mlyed for them there wauld be no objection to their prAu;tion. RIT U ALISM IN INDIA. In reply to Mr. KINNAIRD, Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he was aware that certain of her Majesty's troops, viz., the 60th 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 celebration of the communion. Some of the soldiers had expressed a wish to go to the Presbyterian Church, and thus some correspondence took place. Sir William Mansfield considered the letters were particularly military on the part of the chaplain, an I p tr ticularly theological on the part; of the officer. (Laughter.) The chaplain was the same an had acted under Bishop Cotton, which ho thought was quite sufficient to prove his orthodoxy. However, after som e consult ration an arrange ment had been come to, by which free liberty was given to every officer and soldier to attend that church and that form of worship which he pleased. (Hear.) This having been, he believed, satisfactorily arange.l, ha thought no further trouble might bo taken in the matter. Mr. B. HOPE asked whether the hon. gentleman was aware that a new chaplain had been appointed to the church of Fort William, and that no ritualistic per formances now took place. Sir S. NORTIICOTE said he was not aware of any such ,hing, THE CASE OE SERGEANT STONE. Mr. LABOUJIIERE moved for a committee to inquire into the causes of the dismissal of police -sergeant Stone from the metropolitan police force. The hon. memb3r contended that that officer had been m,st unjustly treated, after twenty years' service, and that for !ratters of which he contended he was entirely innocent. It was true that Mr. Stone had received a gratuity of .£123 after his discharge, but he contended h 3 had a right to a pension, whi..;l3 h 3 would have been entitled to had h 3 not been so unjustly treated. Mr. HARDY said the greatest attention hal been paid to this subject. The man himself hal expressed his thanks for the gratuity which had been granted him, an 1 he had also expressed himself satisfied because the granting of the gratuity showed that he had established his innocence at the Home-office. The right hon. gentlemen the member for Morpeth had taken the most minute pains with the case, and, under all the circumitances, he (Mr. Hardy) thought substantial justice hal been done. Mr. HENLEY and Sir G. Gnix bath thought there was no need of a select committee. The motion for a select committee was then withdrawn LOCAL RATING. t i s s Mr. CORRANCE m oved for a select committee to con sider the present incid ence an d principle of local rating, and report thereon. Ulti m ately the motion was Withdra wn. A nother subject, already discussed thi s session—acci dents in coal mines — wi ts r evived by Mr. H. A. Bruce, who a sked the Government whether they intended to carry out the recommendation of the select co mm it te e of 1867. Mr. Bruce travelled rapidly through the report, intimating that ho was strongly in favour of an increase in the staff of th e a ppointme n t o f st i pendiary magistrates to try offences, t r i c t" i n spectors rather than for the appoi n t men t o f sub-inspec against the rule s , th e l aying 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 no'hing but tbs 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 Dumber of inspectors, and the examination of the managers of mines. Mr. Greene, Mr. liinnaircl, Mr. W. 11. Leathern, and Mr. 11. 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 Revenue administers the law regulating the registration of newspapers, The ATTO RNEY -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 T‘ith 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 mako necessary declaration. Mr. M. GIBSON admitted that the Board had acted as impartially as it could, and oven 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 foe the col lection of taxes. But the law was so absurd that no Government would dare to enforce it generally and im partially—though, on tho other hand, there were many papers, the Saturday Review for instance, from whem these securities were illegally required—and ho 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 niade 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 of Justiciary (Scotland) Bills, which were read a second time on tho understanding that a Royal Commission will be appointed to inquire into the 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," to be taken. Mr. Crauf ur d an d Mr. Monk complained that it had been interpolated n th li e dd o l r e de o r f i t n he w G h o ic v h er i n t m w en as t bsvuesrienevsasereitiencl n n i fi b li yt r e l ra y pdo a il nd to the disadvantage of bills of theirs. It was explair ed by the Secretary of the Treasury that priority had been given to this hill out of courtesy to Mr. Gladstone and for the general convenience, and Mr. Glad stone confirmed this, thanking the Government for h av i n g given him the same advantage as on previous occasions. ---- Mr. VANCE made an attempt to strike out of the now clause added last Friday the part which puts the recipi ents of the R-gium 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 he 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 ho 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 ou the second reading, which would have given ample opportunity for the opponents of the bill to take their places. lie 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 disjointed strug3-10 on the question of aC.jetu-nment. 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 Gover nment' who were present to fix a day for the bill, but th ey professed their inability in the m.o Premier'snk debate g u a until teil way,o absence,nadnaand consented to the adjournment of the and after a contest of an hour M r. The house adjourned at 2 o'clock. BOOK TRADE OF LEIPZIC.—LcipzIc is the centre as is well known, of a largo booksolling trade, producing 8,000 or 10,000 works per annum. In 1867, a bad year, 9,855 works were published. The statistics of the trade show that books on philosophy are less in demand than they used to be, but school books are more so. Treatises on medicine, chemistry, and natural sciences are increas ing; jurisprudence the same ; loss so theology. Lan guages are more and more in request, as also aro history 140graphy, and memoirs. Novels and light literature aro comparatively neglected. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR 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 CLANIIICIR r., , E moved that it be read this day six 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 charter granted to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, and he hail always opposed the system upon which our railways wore constructed, but he objected to the principle of this amalgamation alt )- gether, as he considered it was a combination against the public. The matter affected the whole of the public, and not only the public of England but of Europe, as these lines were connected with the seaboard. Ire was convinced that the bill was one which would be very much to the disadvantage of the company. Lord WHARNCILFFE said that he trusted that their lordships would not bo led away by the remarks of the noble marquis opposite. Ire thought that the bill ought to be read a second time, and that it should then be referred to a select committee. Ire 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 objections in detail, and not on the principle of the bill. The Duko of RICHMOND said that he thought would be useful that the bill should go before a selee committee. Lord FORTESCUE said ho 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 jobbery and bad management thould be exposed, and for this neglect on the part of the share holders he did not think that the public should be called upon to pay for by increased prices in railway traffic. After a few remarks from Lord CHICHESTER in supporl of the bill, Lord REDESDALE strongly approved the suggestion of referring the bill to a Select Committee, as the best course that could be taken with it, though he quite agreed with the Marquis of Clanricarde that the subject could not bo efficiently considered before any committee. A larger consideration of the facts of the case was wanted than could be got before a committee, and what was really wanted was an efficient railway board to deal with all schemes in a broad and comprehensive manner for the in formation of Parliament. Lord Taunton supported tho reference to a Select Committee, and Lord Grey spoke briefly in favour of a competent railway board to which to refer such questions. Eventually the Marquis of CLAINBICARDE with drew his amendment, and the bill was read a szcond time and referred to a select committee. In reply to a question from the Marquis TOWNSTIEND, as to issuing a Royal Commission to inquire into the ad ministration of the Poor Laws, Lord DEVON said that he would give the noble marquis the fullest information in reply to any question ho 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 forma, and their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4. o'clock.

Warrener's and Jones's lots were again on the Compton side, taking somo useful work at various distanc3s; and Stevens had about 1. dozen on the West Ilsi ‘y silo. MALTON, Thurstlay 7 —The various teams want through t similar amount of work as on Wed sesday. A two-year ,kl colt by King Caradoc out of Jeuny Deans has joined Shapherd's string.

Rabbit Trap led Gilbert Hannan, Helder, Miss Martha, Hermitage, and Election steadily at half speed for a mile. ErsoM, Friday.—Skirmish has accepted for the Eton Handicap at Windsor; he is very fit and well, and, al though so leniently weighted, the ground will be too bard for him to prove successful. LEWES, Frid.ty. —ln the Eton Handley, at Windsor, we have Lictor, Choral, and Elmira engaged. At present it is impossible to say which will run, but I prefer the cha-ice of Lictor. In the Windsor Handle ►p we have Choral and Elmira. Choral is tho bast of the two, being just now very tit and well.

TURF NEWS FROM NEWMARKET. With such a great attraction as the Ascot meeting to draw every class of tnrfite away from home, it is only to be expected that business of every description has been almost at a standstill during the week, and the Heath and town has borne quite a deserted appearance. All the principal horses, together with thou trainers, being absent, little has been done in the training department, those left at home having been freely indulged. Three of the recently-purchased yearlings have arrived: —At M. Dawson's, a bay colt by Newminster out of Dutch man's Daughter, and a black colt by Claret out of Patience, and at Goodwin's a chestnut filly by Oxford out of Defa mation. W. Martin has also a couple of useful-looking colts ar rived, by Citadel out of Prevention by The Cure, and by King of tho Forest out of Lucenia ; and R. Cooper, a couple of fillies, viz., by Stamped() or Cavendish out of Tisiphone, and by Cavendish out of Nally. AQUATICS. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PAIR-OAR RACES. OXFORD, Friday Evening. The final heat took place yebtorda y evening between the winners of the preceding day, when, as before, a time race was rowed, the boats starting 240 feet apart. Hall and'Bewman had tho first station, but Veasey and Aston gained on them from the onset, and when the university men got too near the bank at Saunder'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.
