was the time for which Supply would be recoired. If the
qu"stion were repeated to-marrow ho would endeavour to
answer it more fully.

In reply to Mr. Tonn,Ess,
Mr. DISRAELI said he hoped to finish the committee
on the Scotch Reform Bill on Monday, and he then- pro-
posed to proceed with the Brnndary Bill.

The house, then went into committee of supply.
Lord It. MONTAGU mov, d the estimate for public
education, which he explained was a reduction of £61,230
upon the original estimate, consequent upon the with-
drawal of the Education ILhi. It still, however, pre-
sented an increase upon the esticaute of the p•evious
year amounting to £75,459, instead of £136,689. Of the
increase £39,770 was duo to the working of Mr. Corry's
minute of February, 1867, and the remainder, £35,689, to

13,431, whilst the average annual attendance had increased
59,559. The individual examinations for grants in day
schools showed an increase of 30,532, and in night schools
9,091. In classes for reading, writing, and arithmetic
there was au increase of 30,313. The population of Great
Britain in April last was calculated at 25,092,168, and of
that number the children between three and fifteen years
of ago amounted to 6,849,120. If, then, every one of these
children were at school six years there must be in the re-
ceipt of instruction at one time 3,424,561. Tho total num-
bet at school, however, was 3,091,531. In other words,
there were 333,033 children who ought to be, and who
were not, at school throughout England and Wales. These
figures told their own tale, and showed how great had
been the advance of the work of education of late years.
Mr. H. BRUCE pointed out that in the factory districts,
it was a plain fact that sixty out of every hundred of the
residect inhabitants between the ages of thirteen and six-
teen were unable to read or write. The broad result was
that not one-half of the working population had oven the
semblance of education, and the time had arrived when
the house must consider what steps should be taken to
found a national system of education. Ile was fully pre-
pared to admit the progresS which had been made, but he
must protest against any cessation of effort in the future.
The usual criticisms followed from both sides of the
Speaker's chair, the main subject of discussion being the
Education Bill of the Government, withdrawn recently
from the consideration of the Uppar House.
The education vote was then agreed to.

On the vote of £141,695 to complete the sum necessary
to defray the charge for expenses in the Department of
Science and Art, a long discussion ensued, but it was
ultimately agreed to by 54 to 34.
Several other votes wero agreed to without discussion
Progress was ultimately reported, and leave given to sit
again.
The remaining b-siness on the paper was disposed of,
and the hous'e adjourned.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

HANDEL FESTIVAL.

The preparations for this great triennial celebra-
tion may now be said to he complete in all respects.
The whole of the instrumental band has been en-
gaged, comprising the most eminent professional
and amateur instrutnentalists from all quarters, both
native and foreign ; and when it is stated that the
stringed instruments alone will number something
like four hundred and twenty, a slight idea may
be formed of the extent of this vast orchestra.
The Chorus will number in all little short of
three thousand five hundred. Of these, two
thousand two hundred arc the amateurs assem-
bling at Exeter Hall for rehearsal, from the metro-
politan districts. The country chorus has been
mainly selected from the Midland and Northern dis-
tricts ; the Birmingham Festival Choir, the Brad-
ford and Leeds Choralists forming the nualeus of
the two most important provincial divisions. The
well-known reputation of these vocalists is a suffi-
cient guarantee for their usefulness in strengthening
the great mass of the Handel Festival Chorus.
From Norwich, Manchester, and Liverpol, and
from Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester consi-
derable contingents have been eng and at all
these. places such portions of the music to be per-
formed at the Festival as is new to the choir and to
the public has been sent down and adequately re-
hearsed prior to the arrival of the vocalists iu Lon-
don. The places above-named furnish about two-
thirds of the provincial chorus, but a number of
other cathedral towlas will help to make up a total
of upwards of twelve hundrel of the best provincial
choralists that can be obtained.
The entire orchestra will consist of four thousand
performers, and when it is borne in mind that the
greatest care has been exercised in the selection of
every performer, and that the strictest discipline is
carried out in the orchestra (every seat. in which is
numbered and appropriated to a particular lady or
gentleman), it is obvious that an ensemble may be
looked for on this occasion which has not been at-
tained in any of the previous great celebrations.
The music to ba performed on the second day of
the Festival (Wednesday, June 17) has occupied
considerable attention. The object of this, the
" Selection" day—to many musical enthusiasts the
'most interesting of the three—is to give such a
selection of Handel's compositions as shall exem-
plify his very varied styles. It will include the
overture to the " Occasional Oratorio," which, with
its broad, imposing march, performed by such an
orchestra, must be highly effective. This will be
followed by a selection from " Saul," including the
universal favourite, "Envy, eldest born of hell."
Two choruses, probably new to ninety-nine out of
every hundred of the audience, will then ba given—
" Now, Love, that everlasting boy," from " Semele,'
and " He saw the lovely youth," from " Theodora,"
the latter of which is stated to have been regarded by
Handel as one of his happiest efforts. The great
chorus from "Alexander's Feast," "The many rend
the skies," will also be included in the programme ;
and besides some miscellaneous solos, the celebrated
" Passion Choruses," from " Solomon," will be in-
troduced. The third part will terminate with the
famous chorus from " Judas Maccabeus," " See,
the conquering hero comes." It will thus be evident
that a selection of the most varied and interesting
character will be insured for the second day of the
Festival.
It has not been the custom at former Handel
Festivals to announce the soli vocalists until within
a short time of the performances. It may, however,
be stated that these will furnish an array of talent
not less effective than the choral and instrumental
portions of the orchestra. Foremost among the
artistes engaged are Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr.
Santley. Air. Sims Reeves will sustain the principal
tenor part in the " Messiah" and " Israel in Egypt,"
and on the " Selection" day will sing " Deeper and
deeper still," and " Sound an alarm." Mr. Santley
will take the principal bass part in the two orato-
rios, and on the " Selection" day will sing " 0
ruddier than the cherry," and " 0 voi del erebo," from
Handel's Italian oratorio, " Resurrezzonie." This
song was a great favourite with Signor Lablache,
and has probably not been heard in public since his
retirement and death.

Mdlle. Titiens will appear on each day of the
Festival. Besides taking the principal parts in the
Messiah" and " Israel in Egypt," this lady will
sing on the " Selection" day " Pious Orgies"—and
" Lascia ch'io pianga," an Italian aria from " Ri-
naldo." .At rehearsal, and on the " Selection" day
Mdile. Christine Nilsson will sing " From mighty
kings," and " Wise men flattering ;" and will also
sing the duet, " 0 lovely peace," with Madame
Sainton-Dolby. To Mdlle, Kellogg has been appor-
tioned the popular air, " 0, had I Jabal's lyre."
M ille. C trola will sing " Let the bright seraphim,"
(accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper), and
Ma lame Lem:pens-Sherrington the well-known air,
" Sweet bird," from " L'Affigro," with flute obli-
gato accompaniment. _ _ _

It will thus be seen that such a combination of
soil artistes has never before been presented to the
public at a Handel Festival.
The preparations for rendering the Great Tran-
sept of the Crystal Palace acoustically perfect have
been in active progress , for many months. The
appliances by which this will be accomplished are
ready to be fixed in their respective places imme-
diately, and in this respect it may be. fairly as-
serted that a surprise is in store for the patrons of
the festival. The great transept, the width of
