neare t.

Th » eapital has been drilled into shares of £lO each,
and s ;06. in sums rang"ng from £lO upwards, to t4til. the
ninnee of all ; as it is thought many may desire to
take m definite amount of stock, or to ply up iu full, and
thus 'm free at once from all future care about calls, and
from 3.11 future liability, while others may prefer to pay
auto down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the
resid 13 by instalments as calls may be mad,.
Some snares hate been already allotted in India.
'rlim b:ntre capital will be called up slowly, and so as,
with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of
about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each
year will be ample for this.

Applications for shares may now be sent to the Com-
pany's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, Southwark-
bridge. London, E.C., where a full prospectus and forms of
application may ba had ; but it is necessary that it should
be understood that no applic ition will be considered, un-
less a deposit of XI on each share, or of 10 per cent. upon
the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to
the Bankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, flonverie,
and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offiles, 8 and 9,
Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C. The
deposit will be returned without doiuction if the applica-

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, May 14.

In yesterday's sitting of the Committee on the
Budget the principles were discussed according to
which the unification of the public debt is to be
carried out.

Herr Hopfen, who was supported by Dr. Brestel,
the Minister of Finance, made the following propo-
sition, which was agreed to by the Committee : —The
rate of interest shall constitute the basis of conver-
sion for the various classes of the unredeemable
debt, and the quotation prices upon the Bourse
shall serve as the basis for the unification of the
unredeemable and redeemable debts, and also for
the different classes of the redeemable debt.

of his life in the ward, had represented it in the
Common Council, and had served all the principal
parochial offices with credit to himself and advan-
tage to the inhabitants. lie considered it a great
honour to have been elected a member of that
Court, and he (Mr. Ilopgood) had much satisfac-
tion in presenting a man for whom he entertained
such sincere respect. Mr. Owden then took and
subscribed the en -tomary oaths, including the oath
of allegiance, which were administered by the Town
Clerk, and that done he exchanged the robe of Com-
mon Councilman for that of an Alderman, and was
presented to the Lord Mayor and the rest of the
members of the Court, who offered him their con-
gratulations. A communication was lead from Mr.
Weatherhead, the Governor of the City Prison at
Holloway, pointing out the desirability of a certain
number of the officers employed there residing in
the immediate vicinity of the prison, in order to be
within call, when off duty, and to their services
being easily available at any moment in case of
necessity. On the motion of Mr. Alderman
Wilson the subject was referred to a committee for
consideration and report. Several new brokers
were sworn in and enrolled. On the motion of
Alderman Wilson, seconded by Alderman Sir Sydney
Waterlow, Alderman Finnis was unanimously ap-
pointed chairman of Emmanuel Hospital Committee,
in the place of the late Alderman Copeland, and at
the instance of Alderman Finnis Alderman Wilson
was elected a trustee of Sir John Soane's Museum,
Library, and Works of Art, in the room of the
deceased alderman. A report of the Gaol Com-
mittee was unanimously adopted, recommending a
substantial addition to the salary of the Ordinary
of Newgate. The Court afterwards transacted some
business with closed doors, and then adjourned.

CRYSTAL PALACE OPERA CONCERTS.

It is curious to mark the difference between the
winter and summer concerts at the Crystal Palace
as an index of popular taste. The former, which
are conspicuous for the production of great classical
works by the old masters, the invariable excellence
of the programmes, and the full benefit of Mr.
Mann's brilliant band, are held in an enclosed
room, and are comparatively moderately attended ;
the latter Like place in the vast transept of the
palace, which is thronged by an audience which has
to be numbered by thousands, whilst the members
of a glorious orchestra are comparatively silent
beyond the accompanying a number cf bravura
songs by over-rated operatic stars. This was very
noticeable last season, and it was often suggested
that the inevitable ennui to lovers of art would
be delightfully relieved by the introduction of
a symphony in the first part, whilst in the
second the audience would be gratified by be-
holding, if they did not hear, their popular idols.
However, the first of the present series of summer
concerts, which took place on Saturday, was a de-
cided improvement on its predecessors, as the fol-
lowing list will show :—Vocalists Mdlle. Titiens,
Madame Trebelli-Bettini, Signor Bettini, Signor
Zoboli, Mr. Lyall, Signor Foli, and Herr Roki-
tansky, with the entire chorus of her Majesty's
Opera. Mr. A. Matins was the conductor. It
was the last feature in the programme which con-
ferred such signifiance on the concert. The sub-
lime overture, " Leonora," beyond comparison
the grandest ever written even by Beethoven,
was, all things considered, remarkably well
played, and was a genuine success. Madlle.
Titiens was in better voice than we re-
member her for years, and filled, as she alone of all
others can, the enormous area. The chorus singers
maintained their high reputation of this season for
delicacy and perfect tune, and the reception must
have proved to the directors that a repetition would
be eagerly welcomed. The overture to " Masaniello'
and the " Kermesse" chorus from " Faust" were
splendidly gone, and contributed not a little to the
general success. Madlle. Titiens, with her incom-
parable voice, and Madame Trebelli, with her un-
equalled style, are stars for the most fastidious ;
they cannot be always at the Palace, and we there-
fore look upon the introduction of the proper ele-
ment into Saturday's concert as au earnest of what
is to come.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

CRYSTAL PALACE OPERA CONCERTS.

It is curious to mark the difference between the
winter and summer concerts at the Cryt,tal Palace
as an index of popular taste. The former, which
are conspicuous for the production of great classical
works by the old masters, the invariable excellence
of the programmes, and the full benefit of Mr.
Mann's brilliant band, are held in an enclosed
room, and are comparatively moderately attended ;
the latter take place is the vast transept of the
palace, which is thronged by an audience which has
to be numbered by thousand 3, whilst the members
of a glorious orchestra are comparatively silent
beyond the accompanying a number of bravura
songs by over-rated operatic stars. This was very
noticeable last season, and it was often suggested
that the inevitable ennui to lovers of art would
be delightfully relieved by the introduction of
a symphony in the first part, whilst in the
second the audience would be gratified by be-
holding, if they did not hear, their popular idols.
However, the first of the present series of summer
concerts, which took place on Saturday, was a de-
cided improvement on its predecessors, as the fol-
lowing list will show :—Vocalists : Mdlle. Titiens,
Madame 'rrebelli-Bettini, Signor Bettini, Signor
Zoboii, Mr. Lyall, Signor Foli, and llerr Roki-
tansky, with the entire chorus of her Majesty's
Opera. Mr. A. Manns was the conductor. It
was the last feature in the programme which con-
ferred such signifiance on the concert. The sub-
lime overture, " Leonora," beyond comparison
the grandest ever written even by Beethoven,
was, all things considered, remarkably well
played, and was a genuine success. Madlle.
Titiens was in better voice than we re-
member her for years, and filled, as she alone of all
others can, the enormous area. The chorus singers
maintained their high reputation of this season for
delicacy and perfect tune, and the reception must
have proved to the directors that a repetition Would
be eagerly welcomed. The overture to "Masaniello"
and the " Kermesse" chorus from " Faust" were
splendidly done, and contributed not a little to the
general success. Madlle. Titiens, with her incom-
parable voice, and Madame Trebelli, with her un-
equalled style, are stars for the most fastidious ;
they cannot be always at the Palace, and we there-
fore look upon the introduction of the proper ele-
ment into Saturday's concert as an earnest of what
is to come.

The supplies to-day were light, and the tz,8,,1e firm.
Of beasts there were 670, including 49 fr:mt. .‘bruitd.
Beef met a good demand, and the extreme kf late r.it,s
was paid.

Of sheep and lambs the number on sale was 10,310, the
proportion of foreign being 949.

The muttuu trade was good, with full prieco. Lamb
sold slowly, at very late quotations.
The veal trade was quiet, and rates easier.
From abroad 270 calves arrived, and the total /supply
was 400.

Pork sold steady at late quotations.
Current prices:—Beef, 3s 4d to 5s 2d ; mutton, 38 to
4s 8d ; veal, 33 41 to 58 4d ; pork, 38 to 48 6d ; lamb,
56 10d to 7s 24 per stone of Blbs, sinking the offal.
HAY AND STRAW.

The markets are not heavily supplied, but there
is quite enough, and the trade is dull. Prices cannot be
quoted lower; they are, however, supported with diffi-
culty. This is more especially the case as regards straw.
We report quotations:—Meadow hay, 60s to 88s ; clover,
40s to 102 s ; straw, 27s to 325.
