Yesterday the House of Commons was engaged in discussing a measure of some interest, namely, Mr. EWART'S bill for introducing the metric sys tem of weights and measures into this country. We are glad that the House agreed to its second reading, notwithstanding the vehement objections of Mr. BERESFORD HOPE. Mr. CAVE expressed his concurrence 'with the principle of the bill, as he felt certain that the metric system would be sooner or later adopted in this country. This bill proposes that after so many years the only measure of length shall be the metre, and that a " metric standard" shall be prepared by the Board of Trade, to be verified by comparison with the original stan dard in Paris. The permissive use of the metric system is suggested by the bill for a certain time, and after that it is to be made compulsory. For many rea sons it is desirable that this plan should be adopted, and as for the arguments used against it they may with equal force apply to all improvements that are suggested. The inconvenience will be merely tem porary, and such a consideration should not be weighed against a decided benefit to the community —such as a remedial scheme of this sort is likely to impart. The more simple and convenient things are the better, and if we conform to the same standard as the French do, it will insure co-operation in our dealings with them, while those best informed on the subject are well aware that the French are before us in such arrangements. The decimal system has long been acknowledged greatly superior to our own, and it would be well if a change could be made in that direction also. It seems something gained that the House of Com mons has allowed the second reading to take place of this bill of a metric system and weights, and Mr. EWART deserves great credit for the perseverance he has shown in the matter, and the ability he has displayed in bringing it forward.

The glowing sunshine of yesterday added the proverbial brilliancy of " Queen's weather" to a scene which, under any circumstances, would have possessed an especial interest to her MAJESTY'S loyal subjects. The occasion of her reappearance amongst them was of itself an interesting one, since St. Thomas's Hospital has always been ranked among the noblest of those charitable institutions of which England is justly proud, and it promises to rank in its new form among our first public buildings. The selection of its site was a matter of considerable difficulty, since there were so many con siderations to be borne in mind both for the require ments of the establishment itself, the wants of the crowded and busy localities for whose benefit it was originally intended, and the needs of the sufferers who were likely to seek its aid. All these various claims were at last happily adjusted by the selection of the site now chosen for the new St. Thomas's Hospital, whose first stone was yesterday so auspiciously laid by the QUEEN herself. The building, when completed, promises, according to the design, to enhance con siderably the appearance of the Embankment on the southern side of the river. It will be erected with all due regard for those advantages of space and ventilation which modern science insists upon. 'I his is more easily accomplished on the present site than in the vicinity of the old hospital, where an addition to the building was made some years back at the cost of £69,000 an acre. On the old spot, however, though the neighbourhood was densely crowded, the utility of the institution was in a mea sure impeded by the close vicinity:of Guy's Hospital, while at Stangate the closely-packed population of the district are without any hospital accommoda tion, and indeed the whole Surrey side of London has had reason hitherto to complain of neglect in this important particular. When the Thames Em bankment is completed, as sanguine minds begin to dream it one day may be, the access to the new St. Thomas's will be easy and rapid from all parts of southern London. The principal entrance to the buildings will be in the centre, and open into Palace New Road, but there is to be a separate approach from Westminster Bridge to the Trea surer's residence. The Hospital is to consist of eight blocks, the six central pavilions, as they ar e e e l r f m , a s n a d they separate are constructedth l ta o l ck f its s c o a ed , comprising a t t he ea H ch osp b i so that, in the event of any every other necessary ; hospital in itself, with kitchens , linen rooms , and con tagious malady appearing in the ward its com munication with the others can be cut off. The length of each is to be 120 feet and the width 28 t space of 1 , 800 feet for each peaetenthis fine building is in progress, since the foundations — w hich have taken u pwards feet giving Alreadya cubic of twelve months to co nstruct—have been rece n tl y completed at a cost of about £40,000, a change from the day when som e 300 y ears a g o the le a s e of the whole premises o f St. Thomas's was pawned for £5O ! , T=A. -1)1 The presence of her MAJESTY the QUEEN at yes terday's ceremonial happily inaugurated the actual construction of the building itself. The QUEEN has always manifested a kindly personal interest iu such charitable and humane institutions, in addition to that degree of royal patronage and favour which is expected from her position. Her long retirement from all public Epectacles and displays rendered her promise to inaugurate St. Thomas's Hospital especially welcome to the public at large, as well as to those more especially connected with the event of the day, and the loyal enthusiasm which greeted her must have repaid her for the efforts of testifying the warmth and sincerity of her subjects' attachment. From a very early hour throngs of eager spectators lined the streets, while L within the vast amphitheatre itself the visitors, in every shade of brilliant attire, gathered as early as nine o'clock, and waited with unflagging eagerness until the arrival of the QUEEN and the royal family. The concourse within and without was very large, and one and all joined with true Eng lish heartinesss to welcome her MAJESTY to Stan gate. The National Anthem, which was sung on the QUEEN'S arrival, was joined in by the com pany, as was the fine Old Hundredth Psalm, sung with great effect at the close of the day's proceedings. The President of the hospital presented her MAJESTY with a loyal address, thanking her for her presence, and congratulating her upon the recent escape of the Duke of EDIN BURGH, to which her MAJESTY returned a brief but suitable reply. After this the usual ceremony was attended in due form, and the whole pro gramme of the day was gone through with uninter rupted success and brilliancy. One incident served to vary a little the ordinary routine of taking places, marshalling visitors, before the arrival of her MAJESTY, and that was the enthusiastic re ception given to the Prime Minister on making his appearance in the amphitheatre. To judge from the heartiness of the cheers which yesterday greeted Mr. DISRAELI, the suffrages of the public at large are not so exclusively with his great rival as some would have us believe. Altogether, the affair was one of the most brilliant and successful of the kind on record. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, May 13. LATEST INTELL MENGE. The debate in the Corps L6gislatif was renewed yester day by M. Jules Brame, who also espoused the Protec tionist cause. He said that all went well from 1852 tolB6o, when a sudden and violent economic change was made ; and in spite of the warnings of those who affirmed that France had not a large colonial empire such as England had, free trade was forced upon her. The result was an instant declension of trade. At first it was said that this was merely the inevitable result of an' organic change which would soon pass away ; but instead` of diminishing, the evil had increased. At the same time the treaty was condemned even on the very grounds for which it was established. The imports, which between 1853 and 1860 had augmented 62 per cent., between 1860 and 1867 had augmented only 51 per cent. During the first. period the exports increased 66 per cent., during thesecond only 27. Therefore the treaty had really restricted trade. M. Brame excited a good deal of laughter by declaring that at Bordeaux, the headquarters of free trade, it was asserted that trade had increased everywhere under the new riwinze excel t at Bordeaux, and by adding that he ' was reminded of the trader who incurred a loss upon every transaction and yet made a profit on the whole. He then gave some figures to spew how ruinous free trade had been to French manufacturers, and mentioned, among others, that an iron foundry at Roubaix, which had cost £64,000, had been sold for £14,000. He then rebuked the Government for having done nothing to reduce the cost of transit. He declared that formerly a foreman might rise to be master, but now a man must be a millionaire to found a manufactory. He re-i minded the Chamber that the Revolution of 1789 had repealed a similar treaty enacted in 1786; and he repeated the words of the first Napoleon : " The English desire a treaty of commerce ! Rather than sign one I should prefer to see them on the heights of Montmartre. I should at least have the honour of driving them away." He concluded : " What I now counsel is, renounce the treaty and return to the Custom-house laws. France will then be prosperous ; r, if you prefer it, her future will be safe, and herself grateful." M. Armen made a very short speech in reply. He said that what the country really wanted was increased means of internal communication, so that coal which cost at the pit's mouth 10f. should not cost the manufac turer 27f. He declared that "in commerce and in manufactures, in shipping and in politics, the union of France and England cannot but assure the peace of the world." M. Liegeard confined himself to the iron trade. He attribu , ed the present depression to several causes. Production had exceeded the demand ; at the same time the price of coal had increased, so that while iron had by a glut of the market. diminished in value, the cost of pro ducing it had augmented. A still more potent cause was the traffic carried on in drawback warrants. These warrants, which date from 1836, allow foreign iron to be imported free of duty provided it be manufactured in France and re-exported. Originally only the identical material was allowed this privilege, but now the principle of equivalent was substituted for that of identity. This has led to a traffic in warrants which, while favourable to the manufacturers of the south and the centre of France, was unfavourable to those of the north. Another cause was the uncertainty of political events, and the appre. hension of war with a neighbouring State. It was useless to deny that manufactures languished, that food was dear ; but the remedy was to be sought, not in the restoration of protection, but in the multiplication of communications and the abolition of the import duty on coal of lf. 20c. per ton, and the better regulation of the drawback system. What was wanted was not the abolition of the Treaty of Commerce, but a revision of tariffs. M. Auguste Chevalier, brother of the well -known political economist, then took Up the cudgels in favour of free trade, and his speech gave rise to a lively scene, M. Thiers continually interrupting and contra dicting the speaker. M. Chevalier completely denied the statements that had been made as to the decline of trade since the introduction of the treaty. He gave figures to prove the reverse. If manufacturers were in such a bad way, how came it to pass that when a cotton factory was burned down a short time ago and the owner had an opportunity of retiring from the business by pocketing the insurance money, he, instead of doing so, built his mill again ? The fact was, that it was only those who had speculated in cotton who were complaining. If food was dear, was it likely to be cheaper if restriction s were placed upon the import of cattle? The value of the imports in cattle had increased during the last fifteen years from 6 millions to 123 millions. Since 1860, wages had risen, and the working classes had been able to pur. chase meat. France had a population of 38 millions, and were 35 millions of them to pay tribute in the shape of protective duties to the three million manufacturers and artisans ? "If France wishes to pay such a tribute to protectionists, I have nothing to say to it ; but, at least, she should know what she is doing." (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BUDGET OF THE NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION. BERLIN, May 14. The Federal Budget for 1869 was brought in at the sitting of the Federal Council yesterday. The total expenditure is estimated at 72,734,601 thalers, of which the ordinary Budget amounts to 68,683,817 thalers, viz., for the Federal Chancellery, Federal Council, and North German Parliament, 198,9 L 3 ; for the Consulates, 217,650; for the Federal Army, 66,340,275; and for the Federal Navy, 1,868,979. The extraordinary expenditure is calculated at 4,050,784 thalers, viz., for the Federal Chancellery and Council, 150,000 ; for the General Post Ad ministration, 27,999 ; for Telegraphs, 322,780 ; and for the Federal Navy, 3,550,000. The expen diture will be covered by revenue to the amount of 50,477,743 thalers, and by the contributions of the Federal Governments to the amount of 22,256,858 thalers. This afternoon, M. niers made a long speech against free trade, of which I will send you a summary to morrow. There was an enormous crowd to hear him. He had a huge bundle of papers, and said that he should divide his speech into two parts, which would occupy two d a ys. He seemed very tired, and was not heard as well as usual. He disclaimed the idea of prohibitory duties, but asked for a revision of the tariffs favourable to France. Rumour says that the recent quarrel between M. Rouher and M. Pinard, respecting the dismissal of M. de Saint Paul, went to such lengths that both Ministers wrote to the Emperor offering their resignation. His Majesty, who must have quite enough to do just now in soothing his irritable councillors, wrote a pacifying reply to the two disputants ; the result of which is, that both remain in office. It is, however, commonly believed that M. Pinard will not long remain at the Ministry of the Interior, but that he will be succeeded by the Marquis de Lavalette, who will be able to assist M. Ronher essentially at the elections. The Dendard announces that the commission on the Budget have agreed to allow the £B,OOO demanded by the Minister of Instruction for additional payment to the pro fessors of the superior schools. This is well. It is to be hoped that the commissioners, having yielded on this point, will have obtainod a counterbalancing compensa tion by insisting upon a reduction of the military expert diture. A Florence correspondent sends me the following par ticulars of the quarrel which has arisen between our Minister, the Baron de Malaret, and the Italian Premier, General Menabrea :—" M. Martin, the Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs, is a native of Nice, but after the annexatirai he retained his Italian citizenship. He has for a long time shewn a particular dislike to the French Ambassador, and has used every opportunity of treating the latter with marked discourtesy. This behaviour hes i,f late become so conspicuous that M. de Malaret thought himself obliged to complain to the Minister. An inquiry has been ordered, which, it is asserted, is likely to result in a report unfavourable to M. de Malaret. The French Ambassador is a gentleman of undoubted ability and many excellent qualities, but his character has a je sie sais quoi that makes him often appear nervous and juvenile, and in sheer kindness of heart he sometimes does very foolish things. He is now in Paris." The savings bank returns just published by the Moniteur certainly do not bear out the unfavourable accounts of the state of France given in the Corps L6gislatif. The number of current accounts has increased during the year by 104,211, and the amount due to depositors by nearly a million sterling. In the Department of the Seine, which includes Paris,. ; the depositors are one in seven of the population. General Failly has been making a speech at the camp at Chalons, which certainly does not sound very pacific. Ad. dressing the troops, he said : " We shall this year lay aside the instruction in details, and shall devote ourselves to the evolutions which are befitting war. As war is a thing posible, our labours will be serous, but simple and continuous." Stephen Colesco, Minister of Foreign Affairs for Ron inania, and President of the Cabinet, has resigned, nomi nally on account of ill-health. It is believed that a Ministerial remodification is imminent. The fetes are all ever, and the mativ - Cs quart d'heurc has _come. Some one will have to pay a heavy bill. The Florentine hotel and carriage keepers will at all events be able to pay their share of it, for what with the natural rise of prices and excessive extortion, they have netted £400,000. What has been sport for the many has been , xcessively hard work for the few, and even, it is selieved, d ea th for one person. An unfortunate Court Functionary, having in one day written sixty-seven notes, changed his dress nine times, been in eleven different vehicles, and received a stroke of the sun, was declared entitled to repose, and was permitted to go home at mid night on condition that he should come on duty again not later than seven in the morning. He has disappeared, and they have been dragging the Arno for his body. The Prince of Prussia is gone, and has left a most flatter ing remembrance behind him, Baron Malaret, the French Ambassador at Florence, has left for Paris, where he will have to explain the excessive popularity of the Royal Highness of Prussia and the equal unpopularity of the Imperial Highness of France. It is said that there have been some sharp words lately between the Baron and General Menabrea, the Premier. Certainly, between France and Italy there s not much love lost just now. It is generally understood that the Prince of Prussia went to Italy in order to chew France that she could not count !Tan the support of that country in the event of a war with Prussia. THE IVETROPLITAN FREE HOSPITAL. Last evening about 150 friends of this excellent institution dined at the London Tavern. The chair was occupied by N. de Rothschild, Esq., M.P., wbo was supported by his Grace the Archbishop of Westminster on the one hand, and J. Gurney Fry, Esq., the chairman of the managing committee, on the other. The Metropolitan Free Hospital, situated in Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street, was insti tuted in 1836 for the immediate gratuitous relief of the sick poor of every nation and creed, without the delay of a letter of recommendation. The densely populated district in which this hospital is situated i k t all times furnishes a large number of applicants ; but the knowledge that its doors are open to all without any recommendation occasions an overwhelming flood of applications from the desti tute sick, not of the metropolis alone, but of the suburbs also, the class of persons chiefly seeking its benefits being unable, by reason of their extreme poverty'and friendlessness, to obtain the necessary introduction to other more conveniently situated hospitals. The CHAIRMAN, in disposing of the usual loyal toasts, alluded to the laying the stone of St. Thomas's Hospital by her Majesty, and concluding, which he proposed " Prosperity to the Metropo litan Free Hospital." He said that those who bad been his predecessors in the chair had had the com mand of eloquence to urge the claims of the institution, but he was reconciled to his position by the feeling that he required no extraneous aid to heighten the great benefits it already bad conferred upon suffering humanity. The Metropolitan Hospital had now been in exist ence 30 years ; it possessed a distinctive character peculiarly its own ; its doors were always open ; no letter of any kind was required to insure admission, and the faith of those applying for relief was never questioned, and every inmate had full opportunity to receive religious consolation from ministers of their own religion. (Cheers.) The situation of the hospital was amongst the very poorest class of the community, but that was an additional reason why the greatest help should be extended to it, be cause most of the direful epidemics which had caused so much misery and death usually first developed themselves in crowded and poor localities. That ought to be a circumstance alone sufficient to insure an ample income, because the more health they gave to their poorer brethren the more they secured for themselves. (Cheers.) Last year the hospital had spent about £4,000, and at the commencement of this year the committee in curred a liability to a great extent without having funds to meet it. He added that the utility of the institution was shown by the fact that the num ber of patients had increased from 20,000 in 1851 to near 80,000 last year. A list of donations, amounting to £2,500, was' announced by the secretary, and this sum included £5O from the chairman and £5OO given anony mously by a lady. His Grace the Archbishop of WESTMINSTER then said he rose to discharge a duty for which he de rived no authority from the chairthan, yet he felt it would be none the less acceptable, and he had good reason for believing that it would call forth unani mous cordiality. It was to propose the health of Natha . n de Rothschild, Esq., M.P. for Aylesbury —their excellent chairman. (Loud cheering.) He had reminded them that the day had opened with a most beneficent act on the part of the Royal widow, who had in the morning laid the foundation stone of a noble hospi tal immediatelyopposite the Palace at Westminster, from which all the justice and legislation of our realm had proceeded for many years. (Cheers.) That act was at once a beautiful and graceful one, performed as it was by that Royal widowed lady, who had felt as keenly, tenderly, and profoundly the great affliction that had befallen her as would the poorest widow in her realm. Their chairman had set before them that noble example, and he could only say that so beneficent and good a one was more than worthy the imitation both by high and low, rich and poor. (Cheers.) The City of London was world-renowned for its deeds of goo bless. (Cheers.) It was behind none in acts of kindness and charity. (Cheers.) The traders in that vast community of wealth and power did not forget their poorer brethren, and those in possession of the riches of the world did not forget the sufferings of oth,;rs. cheering.) It was a spirit of charity that . bound them together, and although there were causes which led to diversity of opinion, charity drew them closer towards one another in heart and thought, and they were that night working together as friends and brothers. He took it as an augury of good that their excellent chairman was a young man, yet during the time he had occupied a seat near him his eye had not failed to observe how very many young men then surrounded him, full of freshness and vigour, and it was a pleasing thaught to reflect on, that in that great emporium of com merce, where the dust of the world sits heavily on the hearts of men, that so many young men of the City of London should meet together for the good and Christian duty of gathering alms for suffering humanity. (Cheers.) Ile drew a further augury from that, and it was that when they who were oldest amongst them should have passed away there would still be left men to fill their places perhaps more worthily than they had done. When he heard that that hospital which had no foundation had relieved in one year upwards of 78,000 of their suffering fellow-creatures he felt that a great work was being done, which ought no longer to remain unhoused as now. (Cheers.) -'The hospital had been in the first instance founded by a body of earnest men, and the good it had done must be to them a feeling of unspeakable plea sure and thankfulness ; and without pretending to possess the gift of prophecy, but taking into con sideration the daily increasing wants of those who stood so much in need of help, he thought the day would come when the Sovereign of the realm would have to lay the foundation-stone of another splendid edifice in the east of Lendon—(cheers) —when their noble work would receive from the country that favour it deserved by its greatness. He re presented amongst them the poorest class, but he begged to tender his grateful acknowledgments to all those who had extended their acts of charity to those with whom he was more immediately con nected. When the scourge of cholera was striking down so many amongst them, and so grievously afflicting the land, the City of London nobly did all in its power to check the progress of that great calamity, and he gladly availed himself of that op portunity--the first that had presented itself to him of publicly thanking the Lord Mayor, the alder men, and all who bear rule in it, for the charity shown to his poor flock. Their chairman's charity was large and active, but it was both generous and secret, and it was only by accident that it came to light; and then only was it that he became aware to how large an extent he was indebted to their chair man for the deeds of munificence he had extended to those under his (his Grace's) charge. It was effected with so much generosity and delicacy that it was rendered doubly grateful, and not days, scarcely hours, elapsed between his becoming acquainted with acts of charity performed by the chairman to those who little thought they were worthy of his notice. (Immense cheering.) lie therefore pro posed the health of Nathan de Rothschild, Esq., and he felt they would all heartily unite with him in doing honour to it. His Grace resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering. The toast thus proposed by his Grace having been duly responded to, The CHAIRMAN thanked his Grace for the man ner in which he had introduced it to the company, and said he should always feel it a pleasure to be associated with his Grace in acts of charity. It was then announced that through the instru mentality of the Messrs. Defries, who take so great an interest in the success of the hospital, that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had consented to become its president. The healths of the treasurer, governors, their Hebrew friends, &c., having been responded to, the Chairman, his Grace, and the principal part of the company retired. LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1868. Mr. GLADSTONE was not able, after all, to bring on his much-desired bill, but he proposes to do so to-day. The time at which he endeavoured to bring in the Suspensary Bill was late, and Mr. NEWDEGATE objecting it was put off, opposed busi ness not being allowed after a certain time on Wednesdays. This is but a trivial thing, for one day's delay cannot possibly matter, but what we have to do with is the course which the right hon. gentleman is persistently pursuing, against all pre cedent and all the established usages of Parlia ment. Who ever thought, until he set the example, which, it is to be hoped, will be shunned rather than followed by succeeding statesmen, of intro ducing a comprehensive measure of this kind in the last session of a Parliament? A moribund House is not at all thebest calculated to discuss such questions, and on every account the matter is to be deplored. It is true, that some have ingeniously, though not very ingenuously, turned the tables, and are virtu ously indignant at Mr. DISRAELI for remaining in office, which he ought to have given up to his rival, and fallen with a good grace into the trap so cunningly prepared for him. But let us look at the case as it stands, and we shall soon see who is the defaulter, and which side of the House has gone against rules and defied custom. The great measure of Reform which was passed last year gave general satisfaction, and it was hoped and believed that nothing would occur to mar its being completed this year, and the dissolution could then have taken place at the time first suggested ; and besides this primary object being effected there would have re mained time enough to pass some bills greatly called for. The Education question, the Bankruptcy Bills, and other matters of general interest and import ance, demanded the atten'ion of the Legislature ; but just when all promised well, 10, and behold, up started a Marplot in the shape of the leader of the Opposition. It had been previously said that this year was not the one in which to legislate for Ire land, and that the new Parliament was the proper place in which to settle the disputed affairs of that country. This was very seasonable, and when Lord MAvo introduced the Government scheme, and what was called the Irish Debate came on, we'ven turedto affirm that no one believed any great com plication would arise thereon this Session. Towards the close of that affair, however, Mr. GLADSTONE delivered a speech, in which he made his famous declaration respecting the Irish Church, his change of opinion took many by surprise, and it was evi dent only at the last moment that he had made up his mind, or else ho would have adopted the usual course of bringing in his proposition as an amend ment to the Ministerial scheme. Not so, however, was the line he took, and :after the surprise was partly over, the stupendous under taking was commenced, and the House plunged into a sea of confusion, which speedily threatened to overwhelm all other business, and virtually con fiscate the time of the session. Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends and followers have met with success in some respects ; that is true enough, but they have not convinced the country that the only thing to be done is to have them in office at once at all risks and hazards. An unfair advantage has been taken of the peculiar position of the Administra tion,.and the attempt to make political capital out of the complicated arrangements arising out of the Reform Bill has been a desire at o,:ce mean and treacherous. The spirit of faction has been rain- AUSTRIA• VIENNA, May 14. In yesterday's sitting of the Committee on the Budget the principles were discussed according to which the unification of the public debt is to b e carried out.

SIR, —The recent edifying and patriotic manoeu vring in the House of Commons having rendered it somewhat uncertain when voters will be applied to for their votes and influence; will you permit me, as a voter, to suggest to others the desirability of making the very best use of our votes the next time welive them, insisting upon a clear and unequivocal pledge from each of our would be-representatives, that although (as of course they ever do) they seek fame, place, or pay, they will nevertheless do so in con nection with the reduction of our too heavy national taxation, and in the passing of measures of real and public utility. It is idle to expect that men will be content to represent any place out of pure love to that place, or from simple patriotism. All men have their own views to promote and their own interests to serve, and if this were clearly recognised in election matters, candidates and voters would get on much better, and we should be spared a great deal of clap-trap and twaddle. The interest of candidates lies in getting into Parliament, the interest of voters in the reduction of taxation, and in obtain ing salutary measures. I fear it will be almost childish to expect abso lute purity in elections unless an act is passed sub jecting the briber and the bribed to be fastened together at the cart-tail, and whipped from the Bank to Charing-cross. Speculators are always to be found to be content to risk the loss of thousands of pounds, in the hope of getting what they believe to be of greater value.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD ROBERTS. 11, John's-terrace, Mildmay Park, N., 12th May, 1868. • • /V I tine tt :7 1 ; °min HER MAJESTY.

CRYSTAL PALACE OPERA CONCERTS. It is curious to mark the difference between the winter and summer concerts at the Cryt,tal Palace as an index of popular taste. The former, which are conspicuous for the production of great classical works by the old masters, the invariable excellence of the programmes, and the full benefit of Mr. Mann's brilliant band, are held in an enclosed room, and are comparatively moderately attended ; the latter take place is the vast transept of the palace, which is thronged by an audience which has to be numbered by thousand 3, whilst the members of a glorious orchestra are comparatively silent beyond the accompanying a number of bravura songs by over-rated operatic stars. This was very noticeable last season, and it was often suggested that the inevitable ennui to lovers of art would be delightfully relieved by the introduction of a symphony in the first part, whilst in the second the audience would be gratified by be holding, if they did not hear, their popular idols. However, the first of the present series of summer concerts, which took place on Saturday, was a de cided improvement on its predecessors, as the fol lowing list will show :—Vocalists : Mdlle. Titiens, Madame 'rrebelli-Bettini, Signor Bettini, Signor Zoboii, Mr. Lyall, Signor Foli, and llerr Roki tansky, with the entire chorus of her Majesty's Opera. Mr. A. Manns was the conductor. It was the last feature in the programme which con ferred such signifiance on the concert. The sub lime overture, " Leonora," beyond comparison the grandest ever written even by Beethoven, was, all things considered, remarkably well played, and was a genuine success. Madlle. Titiens was in better voice than we re member her for years, and filled, as she alone of all others can, the enormous area. The chorus singers maintained their high reputation of this season for delicacy and perfect tune, and the reception m ust have proved to the directors that a repetition Would be eagerly welcomed. The overture to "Masaniello" and the " Kermesse" chorus from " Faust" were splendidly done, and contributed not a little to the general success. Madlle. Titiens, with her incom parable voice, and Madame Trebelli, with her un equalled style, are stars for the most fastidious ; they cannot be always at the Palace, and we there fore look upon the introduction of the proper ele ment into Saturday's concert as an earnest of what is to come. THE POLITICAL PRIZE RING. We congratulate the friends and patrons of the noble art on the progress which has lately taken place in the weekly performances at St. Stephen's. Since the commencement of the Season we have noticed with satisfaction that when any eminent leader of the P.P.R. takes a benefit, proceedinks are no longer confined to a little harmless sparring; on the contrary, gloves have been, by universal consent, thrown away, and real hard knock-down blows are now the order of the day. The latest and most interesting fight which we have to record was for the Championship of St. Stephen's, with the Belt and a Purse of 5,000 sous. " The Nation" stakeholder, and JACK DENISON, better known as " The SPEAKER," referee. The Belt, as our readers are aware, has been for nearly two years in the possession of a noted " pug," known by the sobriquet of " Crafty BEN," who has held it bravely, agailist great disadvantages, against all corners. His principal antagonist is "Exchequer BILL," Or, as he is sometimes affectionately called, " The People's W ILLIA11." Several fights came off last year, in which the superior strength an I locg reach of the latter proved no match for the skill and science of the Champion. In these encounters " Exchequer BILL" would go in at his antagonist, who usually stood in a careless attitude and kept his hands down, with one of those tremendous rushes which has made his name so celebrated iu the annals of the P. P. R. BEN, however, al Hays came again to the scratch, and though, per haps, not hitting quite straight from the shoulder, and with less strength than his opponent, he rarely failed to plant his blow in the right place, and sent poor BILL staggering into the arms of his discouv fited backers. It must be confessed these last did not do their duty, but whether he failed to inspire his seconds with confidence, or whether they were jealous or too intent upon taking care of their own interest in the large sums which were at stake, is doubtful. The result however was that at one momen t when victory seemed sure if ho could only rally' and when support was urgently needed, his friends spoilt all the hopes of their party by pouring d own his throat a mixture concocted in the Tea Itooni• Since then the party have got their money on, anci it is reported that no less than twenty fighting we ll have a real personal interest in the success of their brother pug, who, it is said, is in the highest spirit s ' and feels sure of winning. " Crafty BEN," o n tile other hand, is somewhat stale, the result of over training, and not so firm on his pins as last yea r ' Ilis friends still hold on to him, though the exuber ant confidence which hailed each telling bloW last year's fight has given way to a feeling tha; while strength without science may be rernedient science without strength must lose iu the long run ; in other words, that 26 5 from 330 leave 65. It was under these conditions that last week was rc newed The Great Fight for the Championship.
