Great Handel Festival.

The opening of the ticket offices on the 13th inst.
has been attended by a large amount of success.
Applications for tickets were awaiting the opening
of the offices on Monday morning to a very consi-
derable extent, from all parts of the country, as
well as from many places abroad. Paris, Nice,
Amsterdam, Naples, Florence, and Rotterdam sent
remittances. Scotland and Ireland sent over 50
applications for tickets. Cornwall and Northum-
berland were both well represented, and a consider-
able number came to hand from Brighton, Hastings,
and other places on the south coast.

The personal applications both at the Crystal
Palace and at Exeter Hall were unusually numerous,
especially at the former place, where, at one time, as
many as 150 persons were waiting. These personal
applicants received a card on entering the ticket
office, bearing an even number—letters being at-
tended to by odd numbers—and thus, although
soMe considerable time was occupied in the selection
of places, the whole of the applications were dealt
with by four o'clock, when the offices closed until
the next morning.

Since Monday the application have been flowing
in very steadily, and the amount received up to
Wednesday night was between £7,000 and £B,OOO.
As yet but little has arrived from Birmingham and
the Midland Counties, or Lancashire or Yorkshire,
and as these are usually the strongholds of the
patrons of the festival, and as but a very small per
tentage has been taken up by agents in town or
country, it is anticipated that the sale will continue
to progress more steadily than at former festivals.
A large number of clergymen, and many of the
nobility and the leading gentry of the country, se-
cured vouchers. Among these were Earl Powis,
Lord Overstone, Duchess of Roxburgh, Baroness
North, Earl St. Germans, Sir W. Gomm, Sir F.
Gore Ouseley, Ladies Goldsmid; Balfour, Reid,
Wyndham, &c. &c. The military were represented
by several applications from Aldershot and Wool-
wich.

The acoustical properties of the Crystal Palace
are becoming better understood. In former Festi-
vals the run has been upon those blocks immediately
in front of the orchestra, but now the blocks fur-
ther removed—especially the K and KK, the D and
LD, and the H and HH blocks, with the galleries—
are much more in requisition.

THE CORPORATION OF LONDON AND THE PRINCESS
OF WALES.—Upwards of two years after the event
the Corporation of the City of London have had a medal
struck to commemorate the public entry of the Princess
Alexandra into London on the memorable 7th of March,
1863, and yesterday a deputation from the Royal Enter-
tainment Committee went from Guildhall to Marlborough-
house to present copies of it to their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales. The medal, which is in
bronze, and large and massive, bears on ono side a likeness
of her Royal Highness in relief, with the now household
word "Alexandra." The reverse represents the Princess,
led by the Prince of Wales, as her Royal Highness is being
welcomed by the citizens. The city is symbolised by
groups emblematical of Peace and Plenty, and in the back-
ground is a representation of the triumphal arch erected
by the corporation at London-bridge, and through which
the Princess passed on her journey to Windsor Castle.
Upwards of 200 copies of the medal have been struck, and
the then members of the Court of Common Council have
been presented with one each, by a recent resolution of
that body.

PETITIONS.

Colonel SYKES presented a petition from certain Indian
officers praying for redress.

Mr. Cox presented a petition in favour of the reduction
of duty on fire insurance.

Mr. KINNAraD presented a petition against the Writs
Registration, introduced by the Lord Advocate, and in
favour of that of the hon. member for Greenock.

Mr. LONGFEELD presented five petitions in favour of the
bill for the amendment of the law of libel.

LAND REGISTRY.

Mr. LONGFIELD moved for a return of the number of
applications for registration of any estates with or without
an indefeasible title, and the number of all transfers or
land certificates made to or by or under the officer of
Land Registry, together with the amount of fees re-
ceived in the Land Registry-office since its establishment ;
And, of all applications to obtain a declaration of title un-
der the Act 25 and 26 Vic., c. 67 (in continuation of Par-
liamentary Paper, No. 451, of session 1863).

The return was ordered.
ABOLITION OP TESTS.

Mr. GOSCHEN gave notice that on Tuesday next he
should move for leave to bring in a bill to abolish tests on
taking academical degrees in Oxford.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND.
Colonel GREVILLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whether the attention of the Government had been
called to the statements made at the last assizes for the
County Down by the Chief Justice, relative to the admi-
nistration of justice in that county, and what steps the
Government have taken with reference thereto ? The hon.
gentleman took the opportunity of censuring the Chief
Secretary for Ireland for the language he had used with
respect to Justice Monahan.

Sir R. PEEL repeated the answer he gave last evening,
and said up to that moment no further information
had been received. His remarks last evening were
made upon the information he had received from
the High Sheriff of the County. With respect to the
case of Patrick Doyle, a vagrant, for " coshering," he
was convicted under an act passed in the reign of
Queen Anne, which provided that such person should be
imprisoned in the event of not being able to find good
sureties for good behaviour.

Mr. P. HENNESSY said as the Government had not
thought proper to take steps to repeal. that Act, he should
take upon himself the labour of introducing a bill for that
person. .

Mr. D. GRIFFITH said he had not seen the notice of
the hon. gentleman, otherwise he would have refrained
from anticipating him in putting the question to the Go-

vernment.

Mr. HADFIELD thought all the old acts of Parliament
ought to be revised. Such acts as those referred to of the
reign of Queen Anne were a scandal and a disgrace, and
ought to be removed from the statute book.

NORTH WILTS.

The new writ having been moved for on Thurs-
day night, Mr. Sothern Estcourt has issued a fare-
well address to the electors, in the course of which
he says :—" Without a cloud to overshadow the
memory of a life continually engaged in Parliament
and in the county, I leave it to younger men to
carry on the good work. By narrowing the circle
of my occupations, and avoiding the House of Com-
mons—once a pleasure, but now too heavy a burden
for my failing strength—l may still perhaps be able
to render some service nearer home."

The Conservatives having been unsuccessful in
their endeavours to induce Captain,Walsh, a nephew
of the Duke of Beaufort, to stand for the division,
in opposition to Lord Charles Bruce, are now, at
the eleventh hour, engaged in getting up a requisi-
tion to Mr. J. L. Phipps, of Leighton-house, West-
bury, a near neighbour of Mr. Walter Long, to
come forward as a candidate. Mr. Phipps is known
as an active magistrate, and as one of the stanchest
Conservatives in the county. A large meeting of
agriculturists was held at Devizes on Thursday
afternoon, when it was resolved that the requisition
to Mr. Phipps be sent to each parish in the division
for signature.

SCANDALOUS TRICK OF A PAWNBROKER.-A poor woman
complained to Mr. Woolrych of a pawnbroker. She had
pawned her bed with a Jew pawnbroker, who was lately
convicted at 'this- court for taping in unfinished shop work,
and when she redeemed it the bed was much lighter than
it was when she pawned it. A portion of the feathers
had been removed. The bed was in a sheet when she
pawned it, and it was returned without the sheet.
Mr. Woolrych—Did you weigh your bed before you
pawned it?

Applicant—No, I did not, sir.

Mr. Woolrych—Every person about to pawn a bed
should weigh it, and weigh it again when redeemed. Take
a summons against the pawnbroker for detaining the
sheet, and an inquiry shall bo made about the feathers.

A RECEIVER WANTED.---JOhII Levy, a Jew, was brought
up on remand charged with receiving, knowing it to be
stolen, a large quantity of copper, which had been taken
out of a lighter belonging to Mr. Hayes, on the river
Thames.

Mr. Miller, of Eastcheap, solicitor for the prosecution,
said that a man named Robinson, a marine store dealer,
in Brook-street, Ratcliff, of whom Levy bought the copper,
had absconded, and asked for another remand.

Mr. L. Lewis, of Ely-place, solicitor for the prisoner,
said there really was no case against him.
_ _

Mr. Miller—Really, Mr. Lewis, how can you say that ?
Copper worth £64 is stolen, and finds its way to the pri-
soner's shop on the same day. He buys•it for £4l. There
is a case, a good caso against him.
The prisoner was remanded on bail for another week

KINCARDINESHIRE.

General Arbuthnott has published his retiring
address to the electors of Kincardineshire, and two
candidates, Mr. Dyce Nicol, of Ballogie, and Sir
Thomas Gladstone, brother to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, are in the field for the seat. Mr.
Nicol comes forward on Liberal principles. Sir
Thomas offers himself as a Conservative, meaning,
he says, by that short term, a loyal subject a de-
fender of the Protestant faith, a steadfast supporter
of Constitutional Government, and a resolute op-
ponent of all that is dangerous to it. He further
protests against the unfair assumption of what is
often called Liberalism. Kincardineshire has
hitherto occupied the position of a thoroughly close
borough, and the Liberals are hopeful that Mr.
Nicol, who is very popular, will rescue it from this
reproach.

THE OXFORD AND CANTERBURY FALL COMPANY
(Limited).---The following is the flret half-yearly
report of the directors et this company :—" The directors
hate much pleasure in submitting to the shareholders
this, their first half-yearly report, together with a state-
ment of accounts, made up to February 8, and whiel; hare
been carefully
examined and approved by the auditors. On
reference to the balance-sheet it will be seen that there
have been 6,510 shares issued, upon which £19,390 have
been paid; £3 per share only having been called. It will also
be seen that of the £BO,OOO agreed upon for the purchase of
the leases, furniture, fixtures, stock, &c., their remains a ba-
lance of £57,900 still to be paid. The profit and loss account
will show that after taking into consideration the gross
receipts for admissions, ece., the profit made on sale of re-
freshments, writing off the expenses of the half-year, and
making an allowance for sundry accounts unpaid, that there
remains a balance of £4,054 Os. 9d. net profit for appropria-
tion. From thiS balance the directors recommend that a
dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, with a bonus
of 2s. per share, should bo paid to the shareholders (free of
income tax), leaving A, sum to be carried forward. Your
directors have much gratification in showing so successful a
result, and they confidently believe that, with a continuance
of careful management and economy of expenditure, the
next half-yearly statement will show oven a much larger
amount of profit."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—l request you will have the goodness to in-
sert in the Times the enclosed extracts from police
reports in contradiction of the statements made in
letters signed " Henry Negretti," published in the
Times newspaper, with regard to the evidence and
conduct of the police in the charges against Peliz-
zoni and Gregorio Mogni.
The paragraphs of Mr. Negretti's letters to which
the police reports refer are enclosed.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
RICHARD MAYNE.
Metropolitan Police-office, Whitehall-place,
March 10.

(From the Times of Tuesday, March 7.)
'THE SAFFRON-HILL STABBING CARE.

" Mr. Negretti writes of the conduct of the police in the
above case:—' The police were told on the evening of the
fatal occurrence by Mr. Worms, a relative of Harrington,
that they had got hold of the wrong man. Mr. Worms told
them that Serafino did not do it, but that Gregorio did.
Mr. Worms also told them that he had known Pelizzoni for
years, and that he was incapable of such a crime. The
answer given by the police I will not give you, for I can
hardly believe it myself. The police had Gregorio'slmife de-
livered up to them on the morning after the occurrence, and
all the circumstances connected with it lucidly explained to
them, from the giving up of the knife by Gregorio to a friend
—the friend throwing it away in Bordessa's back yard—to
that of the potboy of Bordessa picking it up and handing it
over to.the police. The police were told that Gregorio had
slapped the landlord (Mr. 13haw) in the face, which circum-
stance Mr. S haw stated at Gregorio'sfirst examination origi-
nated all the mischief that followed. The police were told
that Harrington and Gregorio had a scuffle in the taproom
not ten minutes before the stabbing took place. Mrs. Shaw
stated at Gregorio's examination that this scuffle arose
from the fact that Gregorio had slapped her husband's face,
and that the police knew all about it. The police knew
that Gregorio and his brother John (the latter bleeding at
the neck) came back after the fight and asked for their hats
out of the bagatelle-room, and that those hats were given
to them by Mrs. Shaw, who fetched them from the baga-
telle-room, clearly showing that Gregorio and his brother
John had been in that room, and not Pelizzoni only, as
sworn by all the witnesses on the trial. Lastly, the police
never seriously attempted to find Gregorio, for they knew
that the finding of this man would result (as it did) in the
exculpation of Pelizzoni, and the acquittal of Pelizzoni,
after having charged him with murder, would not have
been very creditable to the police. I might also observe that
the above is also the reason why I preferred finding Gregorio
myself in preference to employing the police in the matter."
