Din. 00 na Sec. 55, Queeultreot, Chettpside:_ It is said in Dublin that the American Minister in London has re-eived formal notice of the intention of the Irish Government to bring Colonel Nagle again to trial on the 9th of May next in the Court of Queen's Bench. A writ of error has been lodged, under fiat of the Attorney-General for Ireland, in the House of Lords, in the case of Donis Dowling Mulcahy, a Fenian, found guilty of treason-folony in 1867. It alleges informalities n the swearing of the grand and petit juries. The (led eicni will affect ether Fenian trials. The first representation this season of Beetho ven's immortal " Fidelio " at Her Majesty's Theatre had the effect, as usual, of filling the house almost to suffocation. A good sign, even though the motive be more attributed to fashion than to the appreciation of art.. There was also, as a matter of court e, an immense throng of the musical amateurs of the day. It is a curious fact, and one which repeats itself every year, that the first night of " Fidelio " is invariably the most brilliant of the season—not as regards the altendance, but as to the actual performance. In the first place, Signor Arditi's band plays with a dash and enthusiasm that amounts almost to inspiration, and this vear it is no small compliment to say that the band has improved in a very marked degree. As for Mdlle. Titiens, it is well known that " Fidelio " is her favourite opera, and certainly she sings and plays " Leonora" in a manner that utterly rejects com parison with any other character. The entire per formance on Saturday was a supreme triumph, notwithstanding the worse than bad taste of many among the audience, who, having paid their money at the doors, think they have a perfect right to talk loudly, through the glorious overture, to the intense annoyance of their neighbours. The very thought provokes a smile, of such a nuisance being tolerated in any other country but England. Mdlle. Titiens was in splendid voice, and although at the commencement of the first act there were some slight symptoms of huskiness, in the great dungeon scene her voice rang out with an electrical thrill that took every one by surprise, and made one hold one's b reath-at the famous " To Son too, finds Ler a l iaanad ring, her sweet, siLa and her very charming acting , contribute only :ai sympatheticm. " p ers l‘ o r n d a l v i t o e i e n in this e, Swintihetrueoperil; happiest secondarily to Mdlle. Titiens, to the general suc cess. Mr. Santley is, of course , goo d, an d Mr. Lyall must be complimented on knowing tho roughly (the first time this happened) the very important music he has to sing , a nd sin g in g it ver y well. To allow Signor Bettini to cope with the music of " Florestan " is simply a childish error on the part of the management. It is a grave mistake, and ought not to be repeated. THE ALEXANDRA PALACE AND PARK. On Saturday a large party of gentlemen con nected with the fine arts, the press, and architecture Were invited to inspect the splendid property of the enniiiany. After a short but pleasant trip to Wood green station by railway the party alighted close to the park, and at once proceeded to the palace, which occupies a most commanding site, and is sur rounded by some of the most lovely scenery in England. The palace itself is in the Italian style, and is erected principally from the material of th, Great Exhibition building of ' 62, at Kensin g ton. Though outwardly it is deficient in the loftiness which characterises the Sydenham Palace, its light and spacious interior is truly beautiful from every point of view. Itsgeneral plan consists of a nave 200 feet long and 85 feet wide; a centre transept 430 feet long, and the same width as the nave ; and two shorter tran septs, each 320 feet long, the same width als) as the nave. The centre has erected on it a great dome, one of the two employed in the National Exhibition of 1862, but so elevated and altered as to render it one of the most perfect and beautifully constructed domes ever erected. This dome is 170 feet in diameter and 220 feet high in the interior, appropriately plena° I and decorated ; the summit of :mire blue, with stars, the light being admitted near the top, and by lunette windows near the sides. At the intersections of the shorter transepts there are octogon cupolas, lighted by windows on the side, whilst the end of the nave and three transepts are terminated with large circular or rose windows, decorated with stained glass. The interior is ele gantly decorated throughout in c ;loured ornaments, and the light is pleasantly subdued by the character of the buildings. The Alexandra Park racecourse is formed at the foot of the hill, leading to the Palace at its southern side, on a slightly undulating ground. It commences near the Wood Green railway-station, and has been well drained and levelled throughout, the turf hav ing been taken up and carefully relaid on a bed of ballast to improve its elasticity. The T.Y.C., or five-furlong course, is 30 yards in width, and nearly straight. The one mile and a quarter course com mences near the Grand Stand and joins the five furlong course by an easy curve. The one mile and three-quarters and other longer courses will com mence at the Grand Stand and be continued round the cricket-ground for the required distances, 'finishing over the last part of the five-furlong course. All the running ground has been enclosed with posts and rails, and will be seen from the Grand Stand. The Grand Stand, which is without doubt one of the most commodious in the kingdom, is situate at the west end of the five-furlong course, and on the edge of the rising ground leading up to the Palace. The saloon is of nimble proportions, being 130 feet by 24 feet. It is situate on the first floor, and di vided into private boxes and stewards' Compart ment, adjoining which are the ladies' refreshment rooms, &c. The whole of this floor is connected with the lawn by a graduated terrace or step standings, from whence every one will have a full view of the races. Above the Grand Stand Rom is a gradu ated lead roof of the same dimensions, 130 by 25 feet. The Alexandra Park Races are to commence on the 30th June, and continue on the Ist July, under the most distinguished patronage ; and there is every reason to believe, from the excellent charac ter of the course, its close proximity to London, and the value of the stakes in the respective races, that the Alexandra Park Races will quite equal, if they do not eclipse, in point of popularity and tbe num ber of visitors, even the Derby itself. The inspection concluded, the party partook of luncheon with the chairman (Mr. William lia,wes), the directors, the general manager (Mr. Ferrer), and secretary (Mr. Thomas Dixon). The seat of honour on the right hand of the chairman was occu pied by Mr. Benedict, a very pleasing circumstance to those interested in music, as it is not too much to infer that the direction of that most important attraction is to be placed under the direction of one of the soundest and best musicians in the country. The success of the undertaking was pledged in bumpers of champagne, and altogether a more pro pitious visit of inspection wo cannot recollect. NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY. —AlendßlSSOhll'fi " Hymn of Praise" (Lobgesang) and " The First Walpurgis Night" constituted Mr. G. W. Martin's pro gramme last evening at Exeter Hall. There was an au dience which filled every part of the building, and the per formance, and very fine one throughout, gave infinite satis faction. In the "Hymn of Praise," the principal recita tives and airs were given by Madame Florence Lancia, Miss Lucy Frankloin, and Mr. Wilford Morgan ; Mr. . Renwick was the additional soloist in the " The First Walpurgis Night." All these artists exerted themselves with great success to render the Mendelssohn selection an interest ing event in the history of the National Choral Socipty's reunions. Brilliant execution and s y mpathetic expression constitUt3 the criticism on their exertions ; and the choruses, remarkable for their beauty and sublimity, were given with great effect. There was about them a steadi ness and earnestness - that can only be acquired by a large number of executants, under admirable• discipline, after many repetitions. Amid a good deal of enthusiasm, "God save the Queen" was given before the Mendelssohn music, the National Choral Society, through their conductor, wishing to participate in the general rejoicings at the escape from the assassin's hand of the Sovereign's son. THE DUKE w OF EDINBURGH.—•A special Court of . Common Council has been -convened for to-morrow at Guildhall to agree to an address to her Majesty the Queen in reference to the recent attempt to assassinate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. The Lieutenancy of the City, of n. Londowilliieo meet for a similar purpose on Diouday next. • The death of Dr. Hampden, Bishop of Here ford, says a contemporary —a long forgotten name—has awakened memories of stirring times and of a strangely altered state of things. In those days a charge of heresy against an Anglican divine sounded strange and startlino• The reli c • reli gious public in Protestant England have since bc com6 accustomed or indifferent to such a lapse en the part of its accredited teachers. A gulph seems to separate our times from those when the Hampden controversy first agitated Oxford and aroused the religious energies of England. His life spans the whole period of the religious revival —the rise of the Tractarian school, its immense results in favour Of Catholicism, and of the in auguration and triumph of neology in the Angli can Church, before the errors of which the semi- Arianism of Dr. Hampden dwindles into insignia cance. To recall to mind the resistance which his nomination by Lord Melbourne to the chair of Regius Professor of Divinity provoked in Oxford, the agitation which it excited throughout the country, and the solemn censure which by a large majority was pronounced upon him by Convoca tion, is no easy task for the younger generation which has succeeded but not inherited the zealous faith of that which Dr. Hampden so mortally offended. With what ease would not Dr. Hampden pass muster now at Oxford. Conteinporary of Arnold, who was his staunch supporter, of Coplestone, of of-Pusey, of Newman, who was then . forming the Tractarian movement, and who a few years later was his s'renuous and successful op ponent, Dr. Hatnpden deliverea those7Thipptoti' lectures of 1832-33, which became so notorious at the time_ he was forced upon Oxford .as a teacher of Divinity. Dr. Newman exposed the errors which were contained in these lectures, and suc ceeded in uniting both Tractariaps and Evangelicals against their author, so as to bring down upon his head the formal censure of Convocation. This was the first of those great collisions . which in succession have been so rich in results to the Ca tholic Church. The condemnation of -Tract 90, the Jerusalem Bishopric, the Gorhan decision, and Dr. Lushington's judgments, have all' served to show the true character of the Anglican Church, and to lead multitudes of men back to the Catholic Church. Dr. Hampden's appointment to the Bishop ric of Hereford by Lord John Russell, in 1847, revived opposition against installing a " heretic " on the episcopal bench ; but the force of the oppo sition was not like that which he had experienced in 1836, for the strength of the Tractarian move ment was broken by the great exodus of 1845. His great opponents had passed out of a Church where error and truth are forced to sit side by side, and where it is now at last considered a. great boon, if truth be allowed an equal latitude with error. They had already safely entered that Church where they had no longer jealously to guard against the intrusion of an heretical bishop. Anglicanism in 1847 had grown weaker and Protestantistn stronger, so after a futile attempt of Dean Merewether, of Hereford, who had been promised the next succes sion to the see, and of the remnant of the High Church party, Dr. Hampden Was installed in the Anglican episcopate, and his name, which was famous in a great controversy that agitated half England, has never since been heard of. In Dr. Hampden's time events moved with rapid strides, and a few years changed the face of things. M. GUizoT has recently published a volume of biographical sketches, the most interesting of which is hat devoted to the Princess of Lioven. There is one person besides the editor of the France who has a right to feel aggrieved at our victory in Abyssinia, and that is Herr Schweinfurt, the German Abyssinian traveller, who, .a few days before the good news reached us, published a letter proving incontestably that Magdala was inaccessible and impregnable. It had been reached and it had been taken before he wrote, and his bogie turned out to be of the same unsubstantial character as the poisonous fly and all the other chimmras dire with which we had been threatened. Herr Schweinfurt may, how ever, console himself with the reflection that a greater German than he once blundered in a similar manner. It was Hegel who proved algebraically by "a plus b" that there could not be more than eleven planets. ' The Vienna correspondence of the Independence Beige wishes to guard its readers against alarmist news from the Lower Danube. He admits, however, that movements of troops have taken place, and that in consequence of the armaments pursued in Servia, and the equivocal action of Roumania, the Porte has ordered the corps d'armee stationed at Schumla . to unite itself to the corps d'armie stationed in Albania and Bosnia ; but these two anps d'arinee will remain on their normal footing, and their effective will not exceed 45,000 men. The cantonments of these troops will extend along the frontier of Bulgaria. The Liberte asserts that the British Government is doing its utmost to bring about a reconciliation between Turkey and Persia, but that Russia is doing hers to foment the quarrel, and that, according to present appearances, a war is inevitable. The startling news from the Colonial Office, to the effect that the attempt upon the Duke of Edinburgh's life was planned by a gang of conspirators in this country, gives a more painful aspect to that dastardly deed of violence. It shoes the widespread nature of the organisation, and the complete unity of the desperm te band which has declared war against eociety. It also, as the Telegraph points out, opens up one or two other curiou s and disagreeable ques tions. At the late trial of Barrett more than one witness spoke of a leading conspirator named Farell or Farrel, who was supposed to have gone abroad. It will be inte resting to ascertain if that person and the Sydney assassin are one and the same, or merely associates in a dark fra ternity of crime. It has also been stated that Mr. D'Arey M'Gee was murdered in obedience to instructions despatched from New York. Should the assertion be confirmed, it will follow that the leaders of the bloodthirsty brotherhood are served with blind obedience, by willing tools, at the remotest points of the British Empire, and that the dark tribunal pronounces its sentences of doom in full security that they will be carried out. Even while we believe ourselves to he ga i n i n g ground in our conflict with this strange and lowly conspiracy, its magnitude seems to grow upon our sight, and the blow at royalty itself attests the power of a despotic tyranny which literally spans the globe. The intelligence likewise adds to the regrets which had been previously expressed relative to the failure of the police 'to bring to justice the perpetrators of the Clerkenwell outrage. Once more the administration of Sir Richard Mayne is criticised from no very friendly point of view, and suggestions are made that the aged chief of the police, who is 72 years of age, should retire upon his pension. The single contest between the two veteran earls on Tuesday evening drew half the Helm of Commons to the bar and galleries of the Upper Chamber. Lord Derby Was himself again, and his dangerous illness and resigna tion of office seemed for the time to have been forgotten as his voice rang clearly through. the House, challenging to single combat his political friend of five-and-thirty years ago—his political opponent of to-day. To the younger members of the distinguished assembly it must have sounded strangely to hear the rival statesmen speaking of the events of a generation ago as though they were of yesterday, instead of having convulsed the two great parties in the State long before many a present peer and commoner was born. A great point of interest its Lord Derby's speech was the expression of his opinion that under any cirennostanees the Government ought not to re:4w' until theyhad appealed to the constituencies created by the Rerorin Act of het year. It is evident that Mr. Disraeli has lookel at the matter in the same light for some time past, and has resolved that no action of the present Rouse of Commons shall induce him to surrren der the Premiership until he has tested the opinion of the householders in boroughs and the £l2 occupiers in coun ties, whom he was in a great degree instrumental in placing upon the flex reg'sters. The right hon. gentleman will theref,,re I e f( and in Downing-street for nearly anoili - v - . twelve months, perhaps longer. PRINCE 'ARiiriilt: . -"--Efis Royal Highness Prince Arthur will, it is understood, terminate his studies as a cadet, at Woo'wieli, at the next midsummer vacation of the Royal Military Academy. His R o yal Highness will subsequently be attached to the no3ral Engineer establish ment at Chatham for the comp'.etion of his studies, and a suite of apartments will be prepared for hatand his atten dants at the residence of the captaiu-supendeut of the dookyar - " L • The Rishop of London lately . church of St. John the Evangelist, whM is ikats Grove-street, Commercial-road East. The district is inhabited almost exclusively by the poorer wage class, dock labourers, &c. ; the district assigned to the new church being a portion of the parish of St. George's-in-the- East, and the church will, when completed, afford accommodation for G5O persons, and all the sittings will be free. For the convenience of the spectators a large mar quee, capable of holding about 1,500, had been erected over the spot where the ceremony took place, and on the arrival of the bishop ; about 150, or at most 200, people were comfortably seated in chairs, leaving a considerable space within the marquee unoccupied. Those within had been admitted by tickets ; but without the hoardings, and where it was impossible to see what was going on, wag collected a large crowd of persons of both sexes. This the bishop at once saw, and as soon as the opening hymn— " 0 Lord of Hosts, whose glory fills," sung to the grand Old limelredth tune-was over, his lordship quietly suggested to those who had charge of the proceedings that it would be as well if the crowd outside, for whose spiritual help the church was to be raised, were allowed to occupy the vacant space inside, and stayed the further progress of the ceremony until: the suggestion could be acted upon. The gates were opened, and an eager crowd of men, women, and youths .entered and filled the mar quee. Some were in their shirt sleeves, some without hats, many of the women without. bonnet or shawl, and some with sleeves tucked up as though they bad just left the wash-tub to see the .sight. They made little noise, however, but quietly took their places, standing through out the whole of the proceedings, and observing the utmost possible order and decormn. The usual ceremony was then proceeded with, but it was destined tohave another break, for"ll just :;s his lordship was about turning to thestone, Mr. J. Jones 'stepped forward and explained that a working men's committee was in existence to aid in building the . cohocch, and in the name of the working men begged hie lornigkeues acceptance of a silver trowel which bad been subsseibcd for amongst themselves, and a read a short and pithy address which had been prepared by them sAing Ids lordrtip's acceptance of the gift. The bishop-- thanked the working men for their gift, assuring them that he should cherish it as one of his dearest treasures, and proceeded to lay the stone in the customary manner. The ceremony ovor, his lordship delivered an impassioned and etostuent address, which was liAcued• to with the most breathless 'attention by all present. The offertory at the close amounted to £3l 13s. aid. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OP THE DUKE OF. EDINBURGH. On Wednesday the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons was held at Freemo-sone Hall. The Most Noble the Grand Master took his seat on the throne, and was supported by the Right Hon. Earl De Greg and Ripon, as Deputy Grand Master, Lord Ds Tabley, Provincial Grand Master of Cheshire, and other eminent masons. There were also about two hundred brethren of different lodges present. 'After having been installed as Grand Master for the twenty-fifth time, and having been saluted in the customary manner on his re-, election, The Earl of ZETLAND rose and said : Brethren, I beg to return my most since e thanks for the honour you have conferred upon me for the twenty-fifth time in electing me as your Grand Master. I assure you that I feel proud, most proud, for the situation I have so long held, and I thaatk you for bearing with me in my necessary absence from the last three grand lodges. I feel, I assure you, that it is time 'you should find some other person to take the position I have so long held. (No.) I cannot last for ever, but as long as I have power, and you choose to elect rne, I will endeavour to perform my duties. I feel grateful for . your confidence so long reposed in me by yorr kindness ; but I feel I have not deserved it, for I am aware of deficiencies at my time of life. I have now a motion to make in this Grand Lodge, and I trust it will meet with the unanimous support of the brethren. It has come to our knowledge that a most atrocious and dastardly attempt has been made on the life of the Duke of Edit], burgh, son of our gracious Queen, and I now move that a loyal and dutiful address_ be presented to her Majesty, ex pressing our abhorrence at the attempt that has been made on the life of her illustrious son, and also expressing our earnest hope that the Great Architect of the Universe will restore his Royal Highness to her in perfect Lealth and safety. If this meets with the sanction of the Grand Lodge, I will cause an address to be prepared, which I shall have great pleasure in presenting to her Majesty. (Loud cheers.) Tile Eall DE Gnur and RIPON, Deputy Grand Master : rrethren, lam confident in rising to second the motion that I shall only give expression to the feeling which ani mates every brother in this hall, for I am confident there is not a Angle man amongst us who has not heard with feelings of indignation and horror of the cowardly attempt that has been made in a distant colony to assas sinate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, who went thei-e in discharge of his duty as an officer of the Royal Navy, where he was received with an out burst of loyalty and the most generous and hearty feeling. In that distant possession of the crown, united with this country and its sovereign, in the midst of rejoicing in that colony, when the Duke of Edinburgh was attending an entertainment for a charitable object, that moment was chosen by a man who was found to shoot his Royal High ness in the back, for the purpose of taking away the life of one who had been innocent of a single injury to any man—(hear, hear)— but was there solely in the discharge .of his public duties. I am confident there is no one here but will cordially concur in the address, and I have great pleasure in seconding it. The GRAND MASTER put the motion, which was carried unanimously. He then said; I will hare the address drawn up as speedily as possible, and I trust the brethren will be satisfied to leave it to myself and the Deputy Grand Master to present it to her Majesty. It was then proposed that the address be presented to her Majesty by the Grand Master and the Deputy Grand Master, which was put and unanimously agreed to. The Grand Master then proceeded to appoint his officers for the yew, and the Grand Lodge was closed in due form, The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention of subscribing £2::',o towards the rebuilding of the Medical Hospital of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. THE COLLIER:,' STRIKE IN SOUTH LANCASHIRE. —The adjourned meeting of colliers' delegates has been held at Wigan. The number present was 140, represent ing 6,800 union colliers. It was decided to continue the strike and not to surrender. THE SEIZURE OP THE TORNADO.—It is stated that the protracted question of the terms on which the Spanish Government is to deliver up the Tornado has at length been amicably adjusted. The exact conditions of the surrender have not transpired. THE CLERKENWELL EXPLOSION.-At the Guild hall, Francis Peacock, a last-maker from Norwich, was charged on his own confession with hal iig fired the barrel of gunpowder at the recent Clerkenwell explosion. The prisoner belonged to the 3rd Middlesex Militia, and came to London for training. He got drnnk on his arrival, and while in that state gave himself up to the police. Alderman Gibbons reprimanded and dis charged him. MRS. Bruurs.—Mr. Carttar, coroner for Kent, has resumed and concluded at Deptford the inquiries respecting the deaths of two illegitimate children. It will be remembered that at the previous meeting of the jury some rather remarkable evidence was given as to the practice of Mrs. Billups, a midwife, who appears to have largely assisted at the bringing of illegitimate chil dren into the world, and that it was suspected that' she either wilfully, or by reason of ignorance, had made their sojourn here of the briefest possible character. In the first case the deceased was the illegitimate child of Eliza beth Simner, and was born on the 2nd of April. Within an hour of its birth, Mrs. Billups, prophesying that the child could not live, sent it to a doctor naked and e wrapped in a blanket. The doctor's assistant salvvould child, and told Mrs. Billups's messenger that it % after. die from exposure to the cold. It died two n ci d ay t s o have n r : 1 1 . Be f ni e g t 3 wards.

J. 0. supplies the Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of the aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any quantity of birds can be raised. The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always are free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur passed. The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, aro fed with my food.
