party, which he should support, represented prin-

of this country, and they met the wants of the age ;
the Conservatives, on the contrary, stood still, and
the consequence was—like men who stood still on

they got knocked down. (Laughter and cheers.)
His opponent was prepared to follow the example of

In conclusion, he called upon his supporters to be

A show of hands was then taken, and although it
was apparent that it predominated on the side of the
Liberals, the Mayor very unexpectedly declared that
it was in favour of Ur. Patton. (Cheers and hisses.)

Royal Botanic Society of London.

The second summer show in the gardens of this
society in Regent's-park took place yesterday, and
was in every way .a success. The afternoon, al-
though somewhat threatening at times, was free
from rain, and the visitors were consequently enabled
to enjoy the beauty of the grounds, which may
be now said to be in their prime. The show of
flowers took place in the large marquee, and was an
excellent one, and the brightness of the colours on
entering was almost dazzling. There was a good
display of miscellaneous greenhouse plants, Cape
heaths, variegated and fine foliaged plants, exotic
and English ferns, which being tastefully arranged
in groups among the more gorgeous plants afforded
relief to the eye, and at the same time added much
to the general effect. The pelargoniums, which were
in large numbers, were unusually fine; they were
of great size, and covered with, well-opened and
perfect blossoms. The light varieties were best re-
presented by Crystal Beauty, Delicatum, Fair Ro-
samond, and Desdemona ; while for bright colours,
Conflagration and Lord Clyde attracted most at-
tention. There were also many well-grown azaleas,
adding much to the sweetness of the scene, and the
roses were in perfection. Amongst the variegated
plants we may mention—Phormium tenax, or New
Zealand flax, variegated yellow ; variegated meadow
grass, very white alid pretty ; maize or Indian corn,
the leaves striped white ; some fine begonias, with
their silvery red leaves; a fine collection of agaves,
or the American aloe. There were also a very large
and choice collection of orchids, which delight the
eye by their curious forms, and fill the air with
choice colours. The bright lwlias Cattleyas, den-
drobiums, plalanopsis, and the very curious urope-
dium Lindenii, and selinipedium condatum, were as
fine as could be wished. The fancy-leaved horse-
shoe geraniums, now so much in favour, attracted
much attention. There was a nice collection of
bedding geraniums from white to scarlet, and
very well grown. Among the many new rare
and curious plants the following deserve men-
tion :—Paulonia imperialis, a new hardy tree
from Lord Macclesfield's gardens, with magnifi-
cent bunches of flowers, some eight inches high,
of a delicate purple colour and fine cents ; fine
blue clamatis flowers, quite 5 inches aerobe, callca
Velutiva, purpurea and Magnifica ; a curious Indian
radish, the seed-pods, 3 feet long—they are said to
grow 2 or 3 inches iu one night; a new variegated
vine ; pelargonium album plenum, or double
flowered white pelargonium ;- aubrietia Campbellii,
a pretty little plant for rock work, covered with
violet flowers ; and the ornithogalum thyrisordis
alba. Messrs. Ycitch and Son bad a large stand of
curious plants, the names of a few of which we have
only space to mention. The cut roses, panzies, &c.,
were much admired, and the fruit was well grown.
Mr. Waterer's American plants are quite an exhi-
bition in themselves, and well worth a visit. We
understand they will be in full perfection for some
days, and the society have decided upon opening the
gardens to the public on this day, to-morrow, and
Saturday. The Princess Helena, attended by Lady
Barrington and General Gray, and also the Duchess
of Cambridge, honoured the gardens by an early
visit, and among the company we noticed the Bishop
of Winchester, the Brazilian, Swedish, French,
Austrian, Spanish, and American ambassadors. The
bands of the First and Second Life Guards, per
formed during this afternoon.

difference there was between the a. tTs
by the public and that derived from -
merit allowance and the payments by friends of the
boys. In the f0..,,ez .t was only £153, while in the
latter it was very:nearly £3,000, going, indeed, a
long way towards defraying the whole charge of
the institution. It was gratifying to know that of ,
the 297 boys who had left the ship only 21 had re-
lapsed into the evil ways from which it was the ob-
ject of the institution to reform them. The Mar-
quis of Westminster briefly seconded the motion,
expressing the warm interest be took in the success
of the society. The Rev. Sydney Turner, one of
the visiting committee, while bearing testimony to
the useful action of reformatories and ragged
schools, deplored the increase of juvenile crime
which was now taking place in London and Liver-
pool. Throughout the country generally there had
been a decrease; but in those two centres the increase
last year was far beyond the ratio of increase in the
population, thus showing that more reformatory
agencies were required. He mentioned that 77 per
cent. of the boys sent forth from the ship were
doing well, and explained that the reason the Mid-
dlesex magistrates did not support the society was
because they bad a reformatory of their own at
Feltham ; but then it should be remembered that
offenders over 14 years of age could not be sent to
that school, while here they would be received up
to 16. The motion having been unanimously passed,
Mr. Stephen Cave, M.P., in proposing a vote of
thanks to the chairman, took the opportunity of
stating that the desire of the committee was to make
the ship self-supporting, and that if it were used a
little more by the authorities it soon would be so,
Mr. Robert C. Hanbury, M.P., seconded the motion,
and promised to moot the question on the Middle-
sex bench. Sir John Pakington, in acknowledging
the compliment, recommended that the bad state of
the ship and the necessity for its immediate repair
should be forthwith brought under the notice of the
Board of Admiralty, who, he was persuaded, would
render some assistance in the matter.

Select Committee on Theatrical Licences
and Regulations.

A paper has been delivered in to this committee by Mr.
Fred. Stanley, solicit London Music-hall
027.7
on__behalf
of the
Proprietors' Protection Association, in which he states that
wet o.ththde
he has had experience for the last 17 years in
manage-
ment of music-halls, having beenconnected w
" Canterbury Hall" from the thne it as fithrs
subsequently became one of the proprietors in partnership
with Mr. Chas. Morton, the originator of the present
system of music-halls; and subsequently Mr. Morton and
myself established the " Oxford," which I carried oa con-
jointly with him till 1863, when I was anxious to resume
my profession, and I sold my interest to Mr. Morton, Who
became sole proprietor of both establishments. Upon the
present question (namely, theatrical licences, &c.), I repro-
sent nearly all the proprietors of the principal music-halls
in London, who are members of the society, and am well
acquainted with their views on the present subject. On the
site now occupied by the Canterbury Hall was an ordinary
public-house, called the Canterbury Arms, where a singing
meeting was held once a week, attended by respectable
tradesmen and mechanics. This was called in those days
a "free-and-easy." When Mr. Morton opened the singing
room at the Canterbury Arms it was only capable of hold-
ing 100 people. Subsequently, at the solicitation of the
frequenters of his room, he opened the room one evening
in each week for the admission of his visitors and their
wives. Finding the room then built not large enough,
another larger one was built, which is the present "Canter-
bury Hall," capable of holding 2,000 persons. The total
cost of the present hall, picture gallery, and pictures must
have amounted to at leatt £40,000. In order to induce
first-class vocalists to sing at music-halls, Mr. Morton
offered Mr. Sims Reeves £1,200 fora month, to sing once
each evening. The next hall was opened byMr. Weston, in

Holborn, and now there are some 23 music-halls in —Landon.
Low singing-rooms have ceased to exist since the estab-

lishment of music-halls. " The Oxford" was opened in
1861, previous to which £35,000 was expended upon it. Mr.
Stanley further states, "During the two years 1 was in-
terested in the two establishments (the Canterbury and
Oxford), we paid £24,828 for salaries of artists and profes-
sional persons, or at the rate of £12,414 per annum, or about
£238 per week. As much as £2O and £3O per week has
been paid for a single performer." "I believe," he
says, " it is impossible to get a comic song written worthy
of the present age. Mr. Morton once offered and paid a
premium for the purpose, but it was unsuccessful." The
musk hall proprietors of London tin not desire that the
right of performance of stage plays should be entirely
thrown open. They only desire the right of performance of
light pieces, and that the number of performers in a stage
play should be limited, say to five or six persons. It is a
very rare occurrence that disturbances take place in a music
hall. I believe that the enjoyment derived at music halls is

1 _ _
from the privilege of smoking and the lounge whilst wit-
nessing the performance. The average amount spent in re-
freshments per night during the time I was one of the pro-
prietors of the Oxford was from Gd. to 7d. each person. In
1862 the number of persons who paid for admission to the
Oxford was 381,982, and in 1863, 428,448, or at the rate of
8,239 per week. Music hall proprietors frequently expend
more than their receipts for admission in the cost of the
entertainments which they produce. They expend a por-
tion of their profits on refreshments, and therefore if the
privilege of selling refreshments be taken away, the prices
of the entertainment must be considerably higher, or its
quality lower, or music halls cannot bo carried on at a pro-
fit. The present system of licensing I consider bad. I think
the tribunal for granting music and dancing licences is un-
satisfactory. It is composed of a vast number of gentlemen
who are appointed magistrates by political influence. There
is no appeal from the October sessions. There is a good deal
of private influence used in matters of licences. I have no-
ticed that at times there is a disposition to grant licences

freely, and at other times the feeling of the bench has been
quite the reverse. No reasons are given for the decisions ar-
rived at. The present law defining stage plays is very objec-
tionable. At the Canterbury Hall a constable is provided
from the police station, and paid for by the proprietor, in
order to have some person in authority in case of need. Mr.
Morton applied to have a policeman allotted to him at the
Oxford, but was refused by the police authorities. I consider
that the restriction on the performance of stage plays
should be partially removed. It is advisable to proceed by
steps ; first, the restriction should be partially removed,
which will give an opportunity hereafter of ascertaining
whether it will be advisable to remove eventually the re-
striction entirely. It is advisable that a new tribunal
should be appointed for the purpose of granting licenses
for music-halls and of hearing complaints against the pro-
prietors. It should be composed of at least two persons ,
who should be high in authority, inasmuch as the pro..
perty under their control represents great wealth. It is
very undesirable and unfair to the proprietors that the
Lord Chamberlain should have control over the music-
halls. If it be desirable that a theatre should be turned
into a music-hall, let the proprietor make application for a
licence and conform to the law. So, also, if it be required
to turn a music-hall into a theatre, there should be an ap-
peal from this new tribunal to one of the superior courts
upon points of law, but not upon matters of discretion.

SUICIDE OF A BETTING MAN.—A man named
