But certainly the adage does not apply either to "the liberty of the Press" or " the freedom of election" on the Continent. In these respects we can fairly challenge compari- rIiE.,„SUN, LONDON, SATU-RDAY son for English institutions and English practice. 1 There is no gammon about either one or the other of these great palladia of national indepen dence. It is true, that a journal is occasionally subjected to serious annoyance in consequence of actions that should never be instituted. But they cannot complain of censorship, nor are they liable to warning% leading to eventual suppres sion. Their opponent is but a private indi vidual, and the whole power of the Government cannot be flung into the opposite scale—besides, the verdict of a jury must be obtained before they can be exposed to very serious injury ! Again, in elections, the suffrage is not so gene ral as it ought to be, nor does it exercise due pro tection. The electors are liable to a variety of undue influences—to bribery, corruption, and in timidation in all its multifaMous phases—the intimidation of landlord, employer, and customer, even of the bludgeoneers, who, stick or brickbat in hand, are ready not merely to hoot down any opponent, but also to cudgel or stone the man who does not exercise his franchise in favour of their employer. But still the Government does not dare openly to interfere. It could not degrade a returning officer, or close a newspaper office, because the former had not been favourable to the Ministerial candidate, or the latter hadVritten powerfully, though temperately, on behalf of an oppositionist aspirant for legislative honours. Now, in France, both these dodges have just been resorted to. The Government of the EMPEROR, whose throne professes to be based on the popular will, has not only made direct, and we regret to be obliged to add, very unjustifiable appeals to the electors, but has also, in total dereliction of every principle of fair play and impartial justice, attempted to put down with the strong hand every argument -.hat could be used on the opposite side. Not only is the worst species of intimidation resorted to, that which deprives Government employees of their situations, unless they vote in accordance with the wishes of the Minister for the time being. Not only is undue influence openly exer cised with parties not immediately dependent, but every thing that can be said on the other side is regarded and treated as the worst kind of sedition. There is to be a phantom of Parliamentary autho rity—a quasi representative assembly, but accord ing to the present regime there might just as well have been a direct nomination of members as that which is about to take place. Not only do we find the several Prefects putting forward mani festoes, in which the opposition candidates are de signated as " declared adversaries of the Imperial Constitution, seeking only the suffrages to reject them with disdain," but dismissing every employe who manifests the slightest symptom of in dependence ; and summing up the important question at issue in the following manner : The Prefect of the Seine declares that— " To vote for the candidates designed by the Go vernment is to ratify their conduct by your votes, to approve what they have already done, to faci litate the execution of the projects of the EH PEROR. To vote, on the other hand, for the hostile candidate is to enter a path without a goal with men who, most of them, have really no sympathy with the people ; who, in the exercise of power, have already given proofs of their in sufficiency and weakness, and who can only re establish their party on the misfortunes of their country. Your choice cannot be doubtful." But, far beyond all, they have the hardihood to assault the Fourth Estate, through the independ ent Siecle. That journal has received a third warning 1 By no means a mere brutun6 fulmen,----for the sword is now suspended over lits head by a very slender shred, and may fill at at any moment that the expression of its hones and conscientious convictions, may give offence to the Imperial Government. It is admitted by the Decree to be "one of the most energetic and active organs of an Opposition, the bearing of which public opinion will appreciate ;" but it can not be permitted to appeal to that opinion, nor are all the arguments of the Government organs, of the official Moniteur, and the semi-official Con stitutionnel, deemed sufficient to meet the straight forward and convincing views of the Opposition Journal. There is one comfort to be derived from this very untoward state of affairs. It is manifest that the Government must consider • its condition to be very shaky, when it can resort to such pro eeedings—that it must be thoroughly cognisant of the national enthusiasm in favour of an indepen dent Legislative Assembly. Were it otherwise it would not adopt such unjustifiable means to carry out its objects. It is now palpable that the inae pendence of the Legislative Assembly is at best " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare," and when the substance is wanting, it would be just as well if the shadow were also annihilated, and that the Government of France should profess to be what it really is—an absolute despotism, as u nfettered as the autocracy of the CZAR over " Holy Russia." It is really quite delightful to think how com pletely the "Strong Government" was defeated on Thursday evening in the New Parliament. Consider the occasion of that defeat, and then an swer if it may not be spoken of as a matter of very general congratulation ! Recollect that it was a clear majority of ten gained over the Minis , terialists by the supporters of the motion of Sir DESHAM NORREYS—a motion to put a stop, sum marily and totally, to the continuance of one of the most preposterous instances of extravagant ex penditure perhaps ever yet heard of ! Literally nothing less than the cool appropriation of thou sands upon thousands of the public money—for their own private ends—by the wealthy-landed proprietors of Scotland ! To be plain—ln the general Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom it has been found that a survey conducted upon a scale of six inches to the linear Mile, or, in other words, of no less than thirty-six square inches to the spare mile, proved for all practical purposes amply sufficient. No wonder 1--for, as Sir D. NORREYS stated to the Rouse the night before last, so minutely accurate was the delinea- on upon this scale that any gentlemen might at pleasure. find " his own garden walks mapped out, and even his spring and the position of his pump"—in the maps thus executed ! It is not surprising, therefore, to find that considerable portions of England, and as much as four-fifths of Ireland, have been been surveyed upon this scale, and not upon a scale mere extended. That this arrangement, as it so stood, was to all intents and purposes costly enough, even while thus (if we can reasonably so employ the word) restricted—any one may understand at once on learning that the Irish survey alone necessitated a disbursement of no less than 1,200,0001. ! Yet actually this was not enough for the worthy Scot tish landowners—for the canny lairds of Cale donia! A six-inch survey mi g ht su ffi ce f or England a n d f or I re l an d i t was true, but not for the la n d of cakes and of the thistle. There, posi tively, , they must h ave a survey not o f s i x inches merely but of o ver twenty-five inches to the square mile And they have actually been having a con siderable portion of it ! The chains and the theodolites have been hard at wor k , not only in the rich paAnre - and arable lands of . 2cotlabd; - .'.but—incredible though it may seam to those unacquainted with northern impudence in these matters—in the arid wastes and barren wilds of Caledonia. The brobdigna gian maps thus produced, benefitting no one at all in the wide world save those same affluent proprietors. And the money squandered upon the production of those same ridiculously gigantic maps—coming, of course, out of the national treasury! The whole fantastic project tending in this way to the completion of one stupendous plan of Scotland, which as the Times laughably but most accurately puts it—" if completed on the same scale, would be 250 yards long by about 200 broad, which would cover the Art Treasures building at Manchester, and if placed upright would be about twice the height of St. Paul's Cathedral." However, the folly of the thing was altogether too monstrous to be any longer endured. And so—when it was with admirable effrontery pro posed to tack on another little item of 36,0001. to the estimates, for the purpose of extending this private boon to the lairds of the rugged fast nesses of Ross-shire and Caithness—the whole scheme was quashed, or rather (to call things by their right names) was literally and indignantly squashed by the New Parliament. The "Strong" Cabinet—as Mr. KEELEY might say, in the farce " Coming it just a little too Strong !" —finding themselves in an absolute minority of ten; and the PREMIER wisely promising, thereupon, in a penitential mood, that he " would never do so again r —that no further survey upon the 25-inch scale should be made henceforth in any part of the United Kingdom. Good—so far. The matter•is done with. But it was—was it not ?—wonderfully significant and characteristic ! It was characteristic of the whole of that grand system of ours, epitomised under one big word by Boz, as the system of Circumlo cution ! It was significant of that aggregated mass of our Imperial " muddle"—a total of blended parsimony and extravagance. Here are we squandering huge piles of gold and banknotes upon a Gigantic Absurdity=—and grudg ing at the same time the merest trifle - spent upon public works, works illustrative in their way of the national character, and intimately affecting to the world at large, either the meanness or the majesty of our Imperial reputation. Let us have an end of this, at last, for once, and for all. Let us have an end of useless and expensive "jobs," like this enormous Folly of the Scotch Survey ! And let us, while we thus retrench rationally on the one • side—let us we say, upon the other, give freely, give eagerly, give affluently, out of the abundance of the .National Wealth, for the adornment and the general improvement of not merely the national, but even be it said the Imperial Capital ! For the renovation of the national monuments ! For there-building of the National Gallery ! For the further beautifying of our noble Parks—the pleasure gardens not merely of the Londoners, but, as such, of the whole population The Capital of the Empire should be worthy of the Crown and of the People ! " Spurgeonism in the Church" attracted us lately to Exeter Hall, as it once did to the " Original SPURGEON" at the Music Hall, in the Surrey Gardens. Of course journalists cannot imitate the "Sunday Saints and Monday Sinners." We must be Sunday journalists and Monday jour nalists too, although we may be glad enough to let our types and printing machine enjoy their weekly rest. Well, we stepped across the Strand to see how our Church friends succeeded in their imitation of the popular young Baptist. It was all. as it ought to be ; the cutting down of the service to the Litany and a prayer or two, and the spirited singing of two or three hymns, occupied little more than half an hour, and could not have wearied any one. The Sermon too, was good, of the Evangelical school. The preacher's doctrinal creed and the Srur.oEores, we should judge, dif fered but little, if at all. In point of style, voice, and manner, there could be no question that the youthful Dissenter had greatly the ad vantage in regard to the power of interesting au audience of mechanics and tradesmen. Probably his vivid fancy and earnestness have as much to do, as his success with the multitude, in attract ing so many of the aristocracy also, whose names we see reported as frequenting the ,great religious levees in the Borough. We were reminded, however, yesterday, of one person we saw at Exeter Hall on the occasion re ferred to. Close by the preacher sat one of the avowed promoters of " Church Spurgeonism"— the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. We have already justified and commended the movement. We thought it eminently well meant. We know the Earl to belong to the section of the Church which rejoices in the epithet, Evangelical ; and we thought no more of it. Yesterday, however, we had to report the Evangelical Exeter Hall Earl as heading a Church Rate Deputation to Lord PAL MERSTON ! A deputation, of course, of good honest, Church and King, anti-Maynooth, money loving Tories, R. SPOONER, Esq., being na turally prominent among them. We could not forget the last time we saw the Earl ; we thought of the Exeter Hall platform ; we thought of Evan gelical clergymen, and Evangelical Members of Parliament, and Bishops, and Earls ; we remem bered the text too, and we could not help adapt ing it to the Exeter Hall Earl, and exclaiming, " Can a stiff Churchman change his skin, or a Tory his spots ?" The truth is that, not professing any peculiar sanctity ourselves, we participate in the vulgar feel ing of looking for "something more" in those who avow themselves professors of a v:ey spiritual con ception of our common faith. We also incline to the exceedingly vulgar, practice of making plain undeniable virtues, such as fairness, justice, gene rosity, and doing to others as we would they should do unto us, our measure of the value of very spiritual professions. Now, we have always re spected the Earl of SHAFTESBURY as a Ragged School man and so forth ; but what were we to think of a hot evangelical Church-rate Lord ? With our worldly views of things, we have heartily opposed Church-rates ever since Dissenters ob jected to them; and we have done it just because we could not look a respectable Dissenter is the face, and deem ourselves commonly honest or just, not to say generous, did we not renounce, frankly and unconditionally, the power of taxing him for the services of our Church. We should not like he should do the like thing to us; we could not think it fair to make him keep up our churches and services, and his own too ; and our notions of re ligion (very carnal ones, perhaps) bid us perf:., rm towards the Dissenter the homely virlAtes of hu manity and fairness. We saw in some placards that the Earl of SHAFTESAURY was to talc the chair at a Baptist Missionary Meeting in the Hall, last May—.what can those very decided Non-conformists think of their Chairman now ? One day praising their missionaries and recommending voluntary sub script'ons for them, a few days after beseeching the Premier to keep the Church-rate saddle on the Dissenters backs, and to boot and spur the Churchmen to vide them ! Evangelical Church rate summons, Evangelical distress warrants, I ~.. EVENING, JUNE 2O, 1857 Evangelical seizures of goods -`to pay for Church men's churches and worship—all this may be very spiritual, but if so, we own it is above the comprehension of us worldly folk. We are apt, no doubt somewhat profanely, to exclaim, " from such evangelical spirituality good LORD deliver us." We have heard of heathens, who, when told by missionaries that their fathers ware doubtless in hell, replied, " then we should wish to go there too ;" and certainly if " we are to be told that fairness and generosity to Dissenters are not " evangelical and spiritual" —we should reply, then leave us without the latter excellencies. We prefer our old ones. We put it, however, plainly to Lord SHAFTES BURY and his high and dry Tory Claurchmen : Du the vast majority of Church-rate payers pay willingly, or not ? If they do, then they want no law to compel them to do it. If they do not, what becomes of the tale with which the Earl and his clique went to Lord PALMERSTON ? Only five per cent, of the parishes, said they, refused Church-rates, why, then, should not the ninety five per cent. be left as they are ? We ask, rather, why should they, if they really do not object? The truth is, that there are no returns of cases in which the anti -ratepayers were in a minority ; or of those in which it was hopeless to contend with the parish magnates, Probably a Y largo majifority of th e Church -ratepayers w e o r u y ld refuse they could. If not, we repeat, they need no law compelling thew, and others, too, to pay. Repeal the existing law, and the Church will still,get all it ought to get, while a majority of Churchmen, or of votes (not voters) in a parish will no longer be able to coerce those who, perhaps, dare not oppose then]. We trust Lord PALMERSTON will not listen to the Exeter Hall Earl. He has made bishops enough to please him we hope ; let that satisfy him. The' Premier ought t) know bettor than to regard "Evangelicals," whose notion of " Gospel Liberty" pleads for coercion of their neighbours. If he don't mean to make a clean sweep of Church rates he had better never touch them. Let May nooth warn him, that if he charge the " compen sation " demanded upon any public fund, he will have some dissenting SPOONER (only with a better cause) boring the House, session after session, to got the act repealed. Dissenters, we have no doubt, would rather continue to fight the parish battles than accept a degrading compromise. For Church-rate compensation Lord SIAFTESBURY and the bigots, must put their hands in their own pockets. " What is protection V' We do not, mean in the economical, or fiscal, but in the diplomatic, and political sense. We have seen that it has been made the pretext for destroying the inde pendence of the protected States, for substituting absoluts government for the quasi security afforded. But what is the consideration given to the weaker party t Is it anything of real importance, or merely a mockery and delusion ? We have, at length, some means of judging, according to the views of a British Minister, and can therefore estimate the value of such a connection to the weaker party. We have for centuries " protected" the Mos quito territory. Great Britain has flung the mantle of its protection over the minor State, and many Englishmen as well as citizens of other countries depending on its efficacy, have trusted their persons and property to that which was universally believed to be an adequate guarantee. But what has been the result In consequence of a quarrel between competing companies the American Government thought proper to send a Cornetts to enforce redress for some allogod or fancied wrongs. The proceedings were of a very summary character--" Hight Captain HOLLINGS" demanded the immediate payment of 24,000 dol lars, a sum far beyond the means of the autho rities, or of the inhabitants of Greytown ; and, because that appeared a fabulous amount to the parties concerned, proceeded first to bombard and then to burn down the town. Lord PALMERSTON has justly declared this to ba " a very violent and a very cruel proceeding I" We go further and as sert it to be a piratical and sanguinary atrocity, that should consign the inhuman perpetrator to the gallows, and the Government, which gave a pretext therefor, to universal detestation. It was not, as we have stated, merely the bombard ment, although that was bad enough, but the subse quent incendiarism that was complained of, not only were grape and canister . served out with impartiality, b u t m i screants clot hed in the uniform of the United States, to act und er th e au th or i ty tat diabolical and claiming and direction of the C a b inet at Washington, landed and set fire to the h ouses that remained untouched by the cannonade--even the resid ence o f th e Bri tish Vice-Consul, over which floated the English standard— 6, The flag that brayed a thousand years, The battle and the breeze" was wantonly destroyed, and the houses of French, of Germans, and the citizens of other nations were likewise exposed to the torch of the incendiary. And what has been the result Has the Eng lish Government boldly claimed compensation for those who fondly imagined that they were placed under its protectorate ? Have they demanded redress for the insult to the British flag ? Far from it. " The lion has roared you like any sucking dove !"—Has put forward his complaints with " bated breath, and deep humility," and on the contumelious rejection of his demand, or rather of his humble petition, has retired from the field like a whipped cur. Lord PALMERSTON last night-shirked the ques tion. He babbled a little about international law, which would not justify a claim in such a case. Then why did he put forward such a demand and what was the effect or utility of the quasi protest made. Most assuredly a new edition of VATTEL is required. English diplomacy has never been very distinguished, but at no time has it appeared in so humiliating a light as in its recent proceedings, in reference to the infamous bombardment, plunder, and massacre at Greytown, under the avowed sanction of the Cabinet at Washington, and the Government of President PIERCE. Y,„ E c THE PARIS CONFERENCE. (BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 8.30 A.m. The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France, Eng land, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, and Turkey met yesterday at 'the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the purpose of signing the treaty for the frontier settlement in Bessarabia, and for regulating the question of the Isle of Serpents and of the Delta of the Danube. The Moniteur confirms the fact that a treaty of commerce was signed between France and Russia on the 14th of the present month. FRANCE. THE ELECTIONS. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Monit,eur contains the following : PREFCTURE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SEINE. THE H A NDEL FESTIVAL AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Yesterday witnessed the last of these great musi cal.cominemorations, though in point of attendance, splendour, and success, it might well be called the first. Such of the visit ors as only attended on Mon- I day or during the occasion of the Royal visit can form but an inadequate notion of the impressive scene which the interior of the Palace presented.: Every seat from which one could hear or see, and many from which it was difficult to do either, had its occupants, and, notwithstanding the immense accommodation provided, some hundreds of visitors were forced to content themselves with promenad ing the nave and surveying from a distance the massive thousands which rank in rank filled every portion of the central space. ' Not since the great day when her Majesty and the Emperor of the • French paid a State visit to Norwood have the roads presented such an appear ance. From Dulwich, Sydenhsm, and Vauxhall the stream of carriages was incessant, and as each separate avenue poured its tide of vehicles into the one general road up to the building the numbers became almost unmanageable. A vast multitude is at all times a grand and moving spectacle ; but when the concourse is assembled and ranged in such a building as the Crystal Palace, motionless .and almost breath less, listening with intense anxiety to solemn hymns poured forth by two thousand voices, the effect is too great for description. Such was, • in truto, the case yesterday, when, at the commencement of the second part of the oratorio, more than 17,000 visi tors were seated before the orchestra, which at a distance seemed to rise like some colossal bouquet from out of the garden of colours which spread around it. The heat was excessive, and to look down upon the great parterre, where at least 5,000 forms were in perpetual motion, gave to the whole concourse an aspect of noiseless activity which was singular in the extreme. Everyth.ng, in fact, was on a gigantic scale ; the rising of the audience be tween the first and second parts made a noise like the rush of a mighty wind, and the reverberating applause of 30,000 hands' was in• its - way as well worth hearing as the orchestra. Messrs. Neigretti and Zambra were again busy in the upper galleries and made a most successful attempt to photograph the whole orchestra, on a large scale, and so per fectly was this difficult feat achieved that even the individual likenesses of each performer can be found. As on the previous occasions,' the management of the refreshment department was admirable. It would be ungracious on our part were we to con clude our notice of these great fetes without bear ing testimony the courtesy, civility, and atten tion of all connected with their rnenauement. Both to those who 'represented the Sacred Har monic Society and the immediate members of the Crystal Palace stiff, the highest praise is due. Never have festivals of such magnitude, and of which all the arrangements were of so novel and almost experimental a character, been con ducied with more thorough order, propriety, and actual comfort to the spectators. In the enume ration of those who have rendered essential service Mr. Ferguson, the able manager of the Palace, of course stands first, and to him, and to Mr. Grove, the secretary ; every lover of music is deeply indebted for the months of toil, and often extreme discourage ment, which they had to undergo before such tri umphant results as those of the past week were achieved. What we have said of these gentlemen may, as far as zeal and arsiduity in their various departments is concerned, be said of the entire staff connected with the building. From first to last they Imre never flagged or faltered in efforts to pro mote the general success of the arrangements, and so far contribvte to the individual convenience of each visitor. " Israel in Egypt " was given yesterday, just as Handel wrote and as Handel would have loved to hear it. To describe such a performance is not an easy task, since, as everything calls for eulogy, the danger of exhausting the vocabulary of praise be comes imminent, and a calumu filled with laudatory epithets would suggeet rather an idea of romance than of reality. It is nevertheless true that the execution of " Israel in Egypt " in the Crystal Palace yester day surpassed iu excellence that of the " Messiah" 'on Monday, and of " Judas Maccabeus" on Wed nesday, - ivhich, as the difficulties it presents are so much greater, argued a diligence on the part of the singers and a determination on that of the conduc tor which cannot be too highly recommended'. • The first chorus, " And the children of Israel sighed by reason of their bondage," where Handel has shown himself as grand a master of pathos of of the elaborations of counterpoint, was a foretaste of what was to come. The conviction that there would be a performance of unaccustomed excellence sprung at once from this beginning, and was folly warranted by the result. "Theyloathed to drink of the river ; He turned their waters in blook " the first of that unexampled chain of choruses by which the plagues inflicted upon the Egyptians, the miracle of the exodus, the destruction of Pha raoh's host, and the religious awe created in the minds of the favoured people, are illusttrated— was delivered with an accuracy and truth of into nation the more remarkable since the theme is com posed of awkward intervals, chromatic in style and treated throughout in the strictest and severest form of fugue. The impression produced by this most suggestive " tone-picture" was deepenee by that of the next, " He spake the word," which em bodies the plague of the flies, the lice, and the locusts —one of the double-choruses for which "Israel in Egypt" is renowned—a composition of a very dif ferent character from its predecessors, but equally distinguished by descriptive eloquence. At the end of this fine piece the audience broke forth in loud applause, which, after the termination of the suc ceeding chorus, " He gave them hailstones," was renewed in - a manner so universal and tumultuous that, notwithstanding Mr. Cosia's disinclination to " encores," he was comp e ll e d t o yi e ld to th e de s i re of the audience. We cannot remember on any occasion so grand a performance of this marvellous piece, which, as a combination of simplicity and power, is wholly without a parallel. The two next choruses, in which the plague of darkness and the destruction of the first-born are embodied, were, from another point of view, quite as impressive. In the first, remarkable for its daring and singular progressions of harmony, we were once more de lighted at the purity of intonation displayed by such a multitude of voices, and were not less pleased to observe that the exaggerated reading of the last phrase—" even darkness, which might be felt"— complained of at rehearsal, though not entirely discarded, was considerably modified. Passing over the intervening pieces, we came to the prodigiously fine chorus, in three parts, commencing with " He rebuked the R e d Sea." ere the grandeur of the opening, which illustrates the Divine decree, was most admirably contrasted with the passage by which its accom pli s h men t is so forcibly con veyed---" and it was dried up"--delivered in an undertone than which nothing could be more ex pressive. The basses gave out the slow and mea sured theme of "H e l e d th em through the deep' with tremendous effect ; and no words can suggest a notion of the effect produced by the magnificent climax, "But the waters overwhelmed their ene mies," where Handel, putting forth all Nis might to give significance to the catastrophe that involved the persecutors of Israel in annihilation, has suc ceeded in presenting a musical picture of unequalled greatness and sublimity. The reiteratou of the words "Not one,"—in the sentence "there was not one of them left"—was literally appalling. The second part was in all respects as satisfac tory as the first, but we cannot attempt anything like a detailed accouut. The "Horse and. his rider" was re-demanded by thousands of voices ; but Mr. Costa, aware that this chorus comes again, was this time resolute, and proceeded with the duet, "The Lord is my strength," heedless of the obstreperous demand for a repetition. When at the end of the oratorio, it was repeated in its pro per place, the effect was just as striking, and doubt less all the more so from the judicious decision of of the conductor in the first instance. • . . The principal solo singers were again successful ; and once more Mr. Sims Reeves was the hero: He bad not nearly so arduous a task in "Israel" as in "Judas Maccabteus ;" but of the 'one air which affords occasion f or th exhibition of vocal facility and skill he availed himself with surprising talent. His execution of this very difficult song, which abounds in florid divisions after HandePs peculiar manner, was masterly throoghout, the declamation being just as powerful as the vocal enunciation of the notes was irreproachable. The audience, roused into enthusiasm, would nut be denied ; and so' unanimously expressed was their deAre to hear the song again tlrat there wimp° reciting it. ThuS another encore was added to the incidents of the day. Miss Dolby sang both the contralto airs to perfection, and made a profound sensation in the second—" Thou shalt 'bring them in." Not 105 happy was .Madame Novello in "Thou didst blow with thy wind," which was very finely given, and but for the misfortune of coming immediately after Mr. Sims Reeves in " The enemy said" would hive produced a still greater effect. Where Ma dime Novello was most applauded by the audience was in the recitatives of Miriam the Prophetes, h " Sing ye to the Lord," he., preceding the fin a l chorus, where, while we admired the clear arid penetrating qualities of her upper tones, we could not approve her alteration of the text of Handel. The spirited and always telling duet for b asse b, "The Lord is a man of war," sung with remarkable power by Herr Formes, and Mr. W e i ss, an d , as usual, one of the great features of the performance, was received with the loudest applause. After the Oratorio the Natiomq, Anthem was given, Madame Novelle again be,ing intrusted with the principal solo) verses. The Handel Fesfiv judged from a musical point of view, has been an unquestionable success. It was a bold experiment ; but the result has proved that musical performances on a very grand scale are possible in the Crystal 1 ) ,114ca. The committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society have earned laurels of a novel kind, and may fairly regard the, projec tion and accomplishment of so extraordinary ani enterprise 'with p r id e, as the most striking 0" memorai)la incident in the history of their institn: tun), which, in the c )urse of 25 years, from a stash and insignificant knot of amateurs, has grown in to a body sufficiently important to project, and anal,: cientiy strong to carry out an en t erpr i se o f such unprecedented magnitude. How much they owe to their accomplished conductor, Mr. Coita—vvh°se IFS' tival during the progress o f th e H an d e l eS. tival have been as unremitting as his musical eel' vices have been invaluable—we need not insist: The cheers, acclamations, and waving of hats that greeted him yesterday on retiring from the oreheilr 4 were tokens of how entirely nis effects had Wei l appreciated by the public.

ELECTIONS OF jIINE 21 AND 22. Electors of the Department of the Seine,—You are convoked to name your deputies to the Legis, lative Corps. The time exists no longer when, the deputies representing only a privileged class of electors, the Government feared to lat its own opinion be openly expressed on the elections, which were delivered up to the struggles of parties and the rivalries of ambition. At the present day the Government, in frankly adopting universal suffrage, in excluding from the Legislative Corps every functionary paid by the State, has desired the Chamber to be the sincere expression of the general will. It has only reserved to itself one single means of influence— that of proclaiming to the country what men have its confidence, in order that people may not be de ceived by professions of faith, which are often de ceitful. In order to govern, the Emperor must have the support of an elective chamber, independent, but devoted to his cause as well as to the new institu tions. With the deputies who have already given proof of their sentiments the conduct of the Go vernment will be easy ; with deputies belonging to another order of ideas you. would expose yourselves to create agitation and disquiet. You may be convinced that the consequences of such agitation and disquiet will fall especially on those who labour to produce them. For the rest, several of the candidates of the op position—declared adversaries of the Imperial con stitution—only canvass your votes in order signally to repudiate them. The candidates whom tile Government points out to you, in nine of the electoral districts of the departm.-nt of the Seine, are the late deputies. Whilst preserving an honourable independence, they have given proof on every important occasion of their true patriotism. For the new electoral district rendered necessary by the increase of the population, the candidate presented to you has been mayor and is a member of the Municipal Council of Paris, whose devotion to the government of the Emperor and to the in terest of his fellow-citizens has never been at fault. , Like his colleagues, he will be a sure and en lightened support. It is by the co-operation of the great bodies of the state, and especially of that one which votes the laws, that the Emperor has been enabled to pass through five years, during which many and various calamities have, so to speak, disappeared beneath the lustre of new glories and new prosperi ties. It is owing to this co-operation that the three years of scarcity have been less disastrous In France than anywhere else ; that gigantic works have changed the face of Paris and all France ; that agriculture, industry and trade ,have been pro tected and developed ; that an improve ment in the condition of the minor officials has been enabled to be commenced ; that the burden of the conscription has been rendered lighter ; that the army has, notwithstanding this, received a more solid constitution ; that the insti tutions of charity and public assistance have been multiplied ; that certain taxes have already been reduced, notwithstanding the cost of the war ; and, finally, that France has reconquered by arms, as well as by the wisdom of her policy, the rank that was due to her in Europe. Thus the question is clearly put :—To vote for the candidates designated by the Government is to ratify their conduct by your suffrages, to approve what ther have sustained, and to facilitate the execution of the Rnperor's great projects. To vote, on the contrary, for hostile candidates, is to follow in a course without an object men, who for the most part have in the main no sympathy with the people ; who, in the exercise of power, have already given proofs of their incapacity and weakness, and who would only be able to raise up again their party on the misfortunes of their country. Your choice cannot be doubtful. The Prefect of the Seine, G. E. HAUSSMANN. Hotel-de-Ville of Paris, June 19, 1857. [A. list of the official candidates for the metro politan department, who names have already been published, follows the above address.] The Presse has the following : "Opposition electors of the third circumscription of the department of the Bouches-du-Rhone, wishing to give a proof of their gratitude to him who was their Prefect in the difficult period of 1848 have resolved to vote for M. Emile Olivier, who is likewise a candidate in the birth electoral division in Paris. M. Emile Olivier has sent them his bulletin signed." The same journal tells the following anecdote, apropos of the elections : "M. Garnier Pages signs the advertisements which indicate his candidature by the words Candidate of the Democratic Opposition,' apparently to indicate that he is more democratic than those who call theinseves simply ' Candidate of the Opposition.' Now the following is a cc ppy of the letter which M. Garnier Pages addressed on the 24th of February to M. de Maleville. It is 'e lated by Daniel Stern in his History of the Revolution of February,' in a note to page 248 The madmen that you know have proclaimed the Republic. Prevent the Duchess of Orleans from showing herself. The moment is not - Propitious. Ever yours, my good friend.' M. Gamier Pages has a very short memory." The following private telegraphic despatches have been received : "MARSEILLES, JUNE 18. "ALGIERS, June 15.—The army ie still on the terri tory of the Beni-Raten.
