M ELT' NO COY FALLEN WOMEN. —On ThUTlKilly
night last a nieetiug of the women of this clam who fro-
glow. Curnmerciabroad, and other parts
of the east of London, was conveued in the Sailors' Iced-
tute, Ilervers.strset, Shadwell. The meeting lasted from
ten p.m. until two, and the decorum that prevailed was
remarkable. The number assembled was 5442. They wer•
addressed by the Rev. C. F. S. Money, of St. John's, Dept-
ford, and the Rev. Charles StoveU. Besides a large number
of the promoters of this suisaion, there were present the
Ron. J. W. Itichardson, Hugh Jones, Samuel Walker, and
James Boorey, Captain Campbell and Mr. T. a Fieldwkk.
From two to three o;clock a.m. 1.50 won.eo remained during
a prayer meeting, when they seemed deeply affected. The
falleu women in the east of London exercises fatal in-
fluence on sailors during their short residence on shore, as
well as on the neighbourhood. The promoters of this move-
ment propose to mavens frequent ineetiuga, in the hope
that a inure salutary ietluenee may be exercised. The want
of funds wdl be the only hindrance.

DRAMA.

ST. J A ME,9'B.

M. Victorien Sardoux, one of the pleasantest of
imam French dramatists, and author of Les Panes
do Mooches, Les Femmes Fortes, Sc., has, during the
Lel twelvemonth, achieved his greatest 110,001:1111 with a
Sees played at the Vaudeville, and called Noe Latina, sa
adaptation of which, by Mr. Horace Wigan, under the title
of Friends or Foes, was produced at the St. JlMlriell os
Saturday might, with moat unmistakeable and genuine
swam

The piece is cleverly written, with point sad tact and
knowledge of stage requirement,. In portions of it the
French element hope out unmistakeably—such as in the
scene whore the duel is arranged—the whole details of which.
Including the deer tenwins on each side, are utterly unknown
in Enrland. It will also beer cutting by almost • third ;
this done, there will remain an exceedingly pleasant, inte-
resting, attractive comedy. It is admirably acted through-
out.

audience as in old days it would bare been thought impee.

with acclamation, and paid all usual tributes to author end

HANDEL FESTIVAL.
.---

The sale of reserved met tickets for the Handel
Festival commenced on Monday morning at the Crystal
Palace sod at Exeter-halt A large number of applicants
ware in waiting at the time of opening the doors of the owe,
and at some periods of the day from fifty to one hundredt
pecans were waiting their turn. As, however, each person
received a number on entering the anteroom, no crowding
or perusal inconvenience resulted.
The result of the first day's sale far exceeded the most
entwine expectations of the festival committee, who have
beau still farther pleased by the continuous receipt. on fol-
lowing days, the amount received up to Saturday ermine
exceeding ten thousand
For the 1857 festival this was not reached before the
end of May; at the last festival (1859) it was nearly the
middle of April before this amount had been tame, and as
on this last occasion nearly 2,000 E of the above amount
was for half-guinea tickets (the issue of which has sot yet
commenced), it is obvious that the coming festival has
already met with& financial thecae ter beyond that of either
of its precursors.
A noticeable feature on the present occasion has been the
number of clergymen from all parts of the country who have
secured tickets. The nobility and resident country gentry
have also been more prompt in their appli9itiows. This is,
doubtless, to be attributed to the forthcoming International
Exhibition , visitors from the country making the time suit.
able to avail themselves of visiting the Exhibition as well as
attending the festival.
As the festival is deo held at about the time of the grist
wiailtural show in Battersea Park, the last ten days in
Jim, an additional inducement is held out to all thereto
visit Loados at this particular time ; as also within the last
few dip the leading railway companies have knead notices
that their excursion rates begin on the 15th of June, it is
sandpits& with that facilities, and the combined dine-
Cons already noted, that the last week in June will see a
congregation of foreigners end country visitor' in the
me-
tropolu far exoeseinig that of any former period.
To avoid disappointment and delay to applicants for
ticket, from the country, the committee have issued notices
requesting that country orders may leave the selection of
tickets to the committee, who pledge themselves to the die
tribution of tickets in the order in which the applications

an mowed.
The heart ever the orcheatis at the Crystal Palace is
geotheding rapidly. Competent judges predict that when
this asonsious cover is placed over the performers, the effect
of the mask —puticularly in the more distant seate---will be
salaamed threefold ; while the span of this great arch, 216
fist wide (or double the diameter of the dome of St. Paid's
Qttlisdral), will have the most imposing effect.

WEEKLY PROGIESER OP THE INTEENd.
MORAL EXHIBITION.

(From Ills Journal of theSoeiety of Aria)

With the exception of a sheet or two of glass
which require to be tied, the eastern dame may be pro-
nesesed be he ...pled, as far as extents! wad is min-
=lgerisolly nneeneell poltiesel tie apse pert of the
ine been mewed, and preparation here been
node to lower the re et so expeditiously as possible, es soon
es the decoration is !Webb& With the greatest exertiou,
however, the task will take more than • fortnight to aeons-
plish, sad until thee the flooring of the dais, and the wect
tion of the fountain which in to occupy its centre, cannot
be commenced. The western dome is very little
behind its fellow, and it seems probable that the flooring
of the two daises will begin together. Mr. Crsce is entitled
to high praise for the very rapid manner in which be has
pushed es the decoration. For the third and hat time the
%reveille; saffeld has traversed the nave, Andes soon as the
three lest ribs an coloured it will be pulled down. The great
service which it has rendered, both to the contractors
and to Mr. Croce, certainly reflects much credit on its con-
structor, Mr. Clemente. As fast as it advances, the rails
upon which it has been running are taco up sod the floor-
ing laid over the nave, and, in order to make room for this
letter part of the work, the steam-hoist, which was used
for raising materiels to the top of the astern dome, has
been removed. In the north courts the floor is being laid
with great expedition. It has been decided to run a narrow
gallery along the north aide of the two extreme courts,
arid this. is now in course of construction; it will
have the effect of breaking the rather blank look of the
wall which forms the month vide of the refreshment rooms.
In the western annexe so much remains to be done, that
there is still cause for some anxiety. In 1851, at the eon.
responding date of the Ist of Much, • considerable portion
of the machiuery was not only iu the building, but fitted ;
as yet only a smell portion of machinery from Switzerlaud
has been received. 'With the very great resources, how-
ever, which are available on the present occasion, this
anxiety must not be allowed to continue. Two steam
cranes, patented and constructed by Messrs. Chaplin,
of Glasgow? are at work in the annexe, and will he of
great use in raising and transporting large pieces of
machinery. A portion of this building will be reserved for
• third elass refreshment court, and cellarege has been con-
structed underneath it. Biz large boilers are to find place in
We boiler-house, which is being built at the north-western
corner of the Horticultural Garden ; three of those are
alriady on thetspot, and one is fixed. The steam pipes have
been laid in two double rows along the length of the
annexe. The eastern annexe is comparatively in a men
advanced condition, as the preparations accessary fee the
reception of the machinery in motioo have not to be made
here. The bays, which are to contain agricultural machi-
nery and implements, are already floored, and the einem
allotted to exhibitors are marked out in them.
Borne time must elapse before the contractors can take
possession of the refreshment courts, as the plaster will re-
quire • continuance of tine weather to allow it to dry.
Meanwhile, Mesas. Veillard and Martin, the French con•
tr,ctors for refreshments, have taken possession of the
row of offices beneath the north-western picture
gallery, and have made arrangements to supply the
etaff of her Majesty's Commiesioners with lun-
cheons, &c. It is to be regretted that they have produced
an unfavourable impression by a high tariff of charges,
which alums badly for their emcees when pot into compe-
tition with the English contractor,. Mr. Crace has suc-
ceeded in colouring and decorating the great picture galleries
in a very effective manner, and with a rapidity truly sur-
prising. On Satunlay afternoon 7i feet run of wall,
30 feet high, was painted in • quarter of an
hour. Mr. Re grave bas already taken posses-
aloe of the eastern gallery, and is thus in a
position to arrange for the hangings of the British pictures,
which are mining in very rapidly, and have hitherto found •
location in the corridor beneath the gallery. A large num-
ber of pictures here been sent in for exhibition, the merits
of which are doubtful, and these have been temporarily
placed in the council room of the Royal iflorticultued
Society.
