The principal part of the woollen manufactory of the Messrs. Dalziel, Walkcrburu, Innerleithen^ waa coni- pletly destroyed by fire on Sunday evening. I The whole damage is estimated at about XIO,000, which, we under- stand, is covered by insurance, effected with the Royal.— I Scotsman. Tidings from Mount Conis state that tunnelling opera- tions have got a material impulse from the perforating engine having now to deal with a vastly softer stratum of rock than had to be bored hitherto, a month's work of late fully excavating 250 metres; so as tJ promise com- pletion of the whole passage in 1863. A meeting of ladies of rank and fortune has been held in Pavia to take into consideration the destitute conditio4 of the negroes emancipated by the late events in the United States. They resolved to form themselves into sub-committees and to occupy themselves in making clothing for the slaves at present deprived of all means of procuring any.

— r I Mitilitrial- 1 I HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY. I Earl De GREY and RIFON stated, in answer to the Earl of Airlie, that the Ministerial deputation from Ca- nada was in communication, with Her Majesty's Govern- ment, and that so soon as tHe negociations were comple- ted, the result would be submitted to Parliament. On the motion of Earl Stanhope, it was agreed that, on the nomination of select committees other than those on private bills, notice of at least one day should be gi- ven of the names of the proposed members. The Common Law Courts Fees Bill, the Inclosure Bill, and the Herring Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. Mr. KrNGLAKE gave notice that in the event of the Borough Franchise Bill being read a second time he should move an amendment to the effect that the suffrage should not be extended without a further test of electoral competency. Lord STANLEY inquired if the Government intended to bring in a bill during the present session for the transfer of Singapore, Malacca, and Penang from the Indian to the Colonial Administration. Sir C. WOOÐ replied that at present he was unable to give a positive assurance on the subject. In answer to Sir L. Palk, Lord C. PAGET said that in a short time he would probably be able to bring in a bill to relieve certain complaints of staff commanders and masters in the navy. In reply to Mr. W. E. Forster, Mr. LAYARD said that a considerable reduction of duties woul'd take place by the new Zollverein tariff, and the benefit would be ex- tended to England as well as to other countries. The reduction effected by that tariff would take effect in July, whether the treaty between this country and the Zoll- verein States was completed or not. Mr. A. MILLS asked the Secretary for India when he would make his annual financial statement. Sir C. WOOD replied that at present he was unable to fix a day Mr. BuueE: laid on the table a new minute of the Committee of Council on Education. The report on the financial resolutions of the budget was brought up aud agreed to; and in committee of way. and means the Commissioners of the Treasury were authf rised to raise a sum not exceeding A'1,000,000 by an issue of exchequer bonds. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish forfeiture for treason and felony Shortly afterwards the house was counted out HOUSE OF LORDS.—MOSDAT. Lord KEDESD.VLE gave notice that on Tuesday evening, he should call attention to the pnmgragh of the report of the Edmonds Committee in which censure was passed upon the select committee to which the question of granting a pension to Mr. Edmunds was referred. Earl GRANVILLE gave notice that on the same evening (Tuesday) he should move to rescind the resolution of the house conferring a pension upon Mr. Edmunds. Lord St. LEONARDS brought in a bill to establish courts of arbitration for the settlement of disputes be- tween employers and workmen. The bill, which was read a first time, provides that courts of conciliation shall be formed under a license from the Crown, each court to consist of not more than ten masters, ten workmen and a chairman, the award of such tribunal on any question referred to it to be final. On the Order of the day for the third reading of the Courts of Justice Concentration Bill, Lord REDESDALE moved as an amendment that no money should be ex- pended in the purchase of a site, until full plans and estimates were laid before Parliament. The amendment, although opposed by the Lord Chan- cellor, was adopted and the bill was then read a third time. The Juries (Ireland) Bill, was withdrawn on the un- derstanding that the Lord Chancellor would ascertain whether the venue could be changed. in certain Irish cases. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Mr. WHALLEY gave notice that on Tuesday he should call attention to the refusal of the Rev. Mr. Wagner to give certain testimony in the. Road murder case on the ground that the information was imparted to him by Miss Kent iu the confessional, and should enquire whe- ther the Government intended to bring in a bill to pro- hibit such persons as Mr. Wagner from officiating as ministers of the Church of England. In reply to Sir S. Norchcote, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that as great inconvenience and waste of public money resulted from the limitation of the contracts for dock extension at Chatham and Ports- mouth, he intended to bring in a bill authorising the Government to enter into contracts extending beyond the votes of the year, if not generally, at any rate with rcspect to the works in question. In answer to Mr Caird, Sir C. WOOD ptated that he should refuse to sanction the proposed imposition of duties on the principal staples imported from India; and the right honourable baronet added in reply to Mr. Crawford, that it was not contemplated to raise any large sum for India by loan. The adjourned debate on the Borough Frinchise Bill was resumed by Mr. GREGORY, who expressed his belief that public opinion in this country was averse to sweep- ing changes in the direction of democracy, and that the Government had acted wisely in not trying to force a reform bill on the house. Sir G. GREY, on behalf of the Government, supported the motion for the second reading of the bill. He de- clared that the present Cabinet was not averse to neces- sary constitutional changes, and attributed the delays which have hitherto occurred in legislation on this sub- ject to vexatious opposition on the part of the Conserva- tives, and not to apathy on the part of the Ministry. The Government, however, did not desire that its vote on the bill before the house should be regarded as pled- ging it to support a large measure of Parliamentary re- form. After some remarks from Mr. W. Forster, Sir F. Goldsmid, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Buxton, and Mr. Stansfeld, Mr. HOHSMAN warmly supported the views enunciated by Mr. Lowe last week. Mr. DISRAELI regarded the bill as a proposal to redis- tribute political power in boroughs, and he therefore op- posed it. On a division, the bill was rejected by 288 votes against 214. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. A motion for the second reading of the Union Officers (Ireland) Bill was opposed by the Earl of Donoughmore, but affirmed on a division by 73 votes against 7G. Lord REDESDALE called attention to the report of the select committee on the Edmund's case, and complained that it reflected unfairly upon the Parliamentary offices committee. He said that the last-mentioned committee had not been informed by the Lord Chancellor of all the facts of the case when Mr. Edmunds' petition for a pension was under consideration, and the committee had consequently been placed in a painful and difficult position,. His Lordship moved resolutions in accordance with his statement. A debate followed, in which Earl Granville, the Earl of Derby, Earl Russell, and other peers took part; and as the speakers generally vindicated the parliamentary offices committee, the resolutions were virtually with- drawn. On the motion of Earl GKANVILLE, it was agreed to rescind the resolution, granting a pension of 4800 a year to Mr. Edmunds. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. Lord PROBY, the Comptroller of the Household, brought up the Queen's reply to the address in reference to the grievances complained of by ofifcers of the late Indian army. Her Majesty promised that an inquiry into the subject should be instituted. Mr. WHALLEY having called attention to the refusal of the Rev. Mr. Wagner to give certain evidence in the Hoad murder case on the ground that the communica- tion was made to him by Miss Kent in the confessional, asked whether the Government intended to bring in a bill this session to prevent such persons as Mr. Wagner from officiating as clergymen in the Church of England. Sir G. Grey replied in the negative, and Mr. Whalley then said that on an early day he should bring the sub- tect under the attention of the house. In reply to Mr. Baillie, the Marquis of HARTIXQTON said that after the report of the committee on the Arm- strong and Whitworth guns had been duly considered by the War Office there would be no objection to lay it on the table of the house. In answer to Mr. Paull, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL sta- ted that the Government intended to submit to the house a measure for the amendment and consolidation of the Bankruptcy laws. It would not, however, be possi- ble to introduce the bill during the present session. Sir W. GALI,WEY submitted a motion with the object of compelling Railway companies, pending the report of the Royal Commission now sitting, to make arrange menb; for immediately establishing proper communica- tion between guards and passengers. After some remarks from Mr. Gibson and other members, the motion was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. AYRTON it was agreed to ap- point a select committee to inquire into the complaintii of the coal miners throughout Great Britain. HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY. Mr. NEWDEQATE moved the second reading of the Church Rates Commutation Bill. The honourable gen- tleman after asserting that while the measure was direc- ted absolutely against attempts to despoil parishes cf the means of preserving the fabric of the chinch, it fully satisfied the conscientious objections of Dissenters, re- minded the house that the scheme proposed was not novel. They were simply aaked to sanction the substi- tution of a charge of 2d. in the pound on real property in lieu of church rates as hitherto raised, and that tin* provision should, in the first instance, extend to no pnr perty except such as had been assessed to Church rates within the last seven years, and to such parishes the inhabitants of which had not manifested their oppo- sition to church rates by three successive rejections of such rates on a poll. Sir Charles DOUGLAS moved the rejection of the bill, and Mr. Hadfield seconded the amendment. Sir G. GREY, speaking as the representative of the Go- vernment, did not oppose the motion, but he suggested that as the present was not a fitting time for pressing the subject upon the house, the bill should be withdrawn. Mr. Kinglakc and Mr. Collins opposed the motion, as did also Lord J. MANNERS, who thought that as the measure was not at all calculated to satisfy the Church, or conciliate Dissenters, it was simply a waste of time to persevere with it. On a division, the bill was rejected by 126 votes a- gainst-42. On the order of the day for going into committee on the County Voters' Registration Bill, Mr. HUNT prpo- sed that the provisions relating to the powers and duties of revising barristers should be extended to the case of registration in cities and borough". The motion was then agreed to. The house then went into committee, and passed the bill, but not before an amendment was adopted to the effect that the maximum penalty to be inflicted upon persons making fictitious objections should be f5. I r. W. MILI,En obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Act for the abatement of Smoke Nuisances. llr. WALPOLE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend certain provisions in the Ecclesiastical Act, 1858 I

THE LATE ADMIRAL FITZROY. Admiral Fitzroy has died in harness, and, like many another noble English worthy, his whole life had been full of activity. For six-and-forty years he had been in the employment of the State. Born in 1805, he was but a boy of fourteen when he entered the navy, and al- though in the very year of his birth the crowning victory of Trafalgar had practically ended the long sea-struggle against France and Spain—although it was never hia fortune to go into action under such men as Collingwood or Nelson, he found in the scientific part of his profes- sion an ample scope for his ability, industry, and zeal. Before he was six-and-twenty his name was written upon the map of the world for, after he had discovered a large inland sea in the Straits of Maghalhaen, the ap- pellation of Fitzroy Channel" was given to the inlet which connected it with another vast salt-water lake. His most famous voyage was that in the little Beagle, a vessel of about two hundred and thirty tons —an expedi- dition rendered memorable not only by his own surveys, but by the researches of his naturalist, the illustrious Charles Darwin. After nearly five years had been spent in this voyage of circumnavigation, the Beagle, with all her garnered scientific treasures, cast anchor again in Falmouth Harbour in October, 183(). Of the naturalists' labours, it was said by the President of the Geological Society, I cannot help considering this voyage round the world as one of the most important events for geo- logy which has occurred for many yearswhilst the Sailing Directions for South America," which derived its charts from Fitzroy's surveys, sufficiently attested the professional value of the Captain's labours. In due time he sat in Parliament; subsequently he governed New Zealand for three years; and more recently his name has become a household word in connection with his meteorological observations and forecasts. The science to which he more particularly devoted his attention is still in too rudimentary a condition for us to attemt an exhaustive estimate of his contributions to its progress. The Admiral was not a lucid writer his Weather Book," and other publications, whilst al- most invaluable as storehouses of fact, were not of a kind to take the fancy of the general reader; and it was, of course, always easy to misrepresent his labours as barren in practical results. Now that even those who under- valued him are hushed into sorrowful, awe-silence, we may at any rate repeat what we have invariably main- tained—that few official departments ever did so much good at so little expense as that over which Admiral Fitzroy presided. He was himself amongst the first to confess that his prognostications could not always be re- lied upon; they were simply deductions from the weather-facts known to him, that knowledge being, by the very conditions of the study, incomplete; but if now and then his telegraphic cautions may have made a collier miss her market, they were nevertheless effectual to save hundreds of lives. He never assumed an infalli- bility as a prophet," but of the real, actual value of his service no rational man can entertain a doubt. He ranked beside Maury among the leading scientific sailors of the day and although in the British navy it will not be difficult to find a worthy successor for him, he will always be honourably remembered as one of the great pioneers of meteorological science. To him all this now matters nothing but it matters much—it is supremely important to ourselves that in no grudging spirit we should acknowledge the splendid value of his work—that should recognise his self-sacrificing devotion, his high sense of duty, his genial, sailor-like honesty of heart and frankness of speech. Deeply as we lament the awful manner of his death—sorrowfully and reverently as we contemplate so tragical a termination to a noble career, we can hardly speak or think of his life as gone, while so much of it survives in the benefits bequeathed to us by his teaching and example and the recollection of his patient toil soothes, even if it also intensities, our re- gret for his loss But his best mourners, after all, will be the sailors of Great Britain, who, as they coast along the shore under a darkening sky, and mark oil cliff or headland the signals that have been hoisted to warn them of the coming storm, will often, whilst speeding to a friendly harbour or making ready to face the gale in the open sea, remember the good old Admiral, and grieve with a manly sorrow for the fate of Robert Fitz- roy.—Daily Telegraph.

oxtr -libriirg (Table. I THE HAND-HOOK FOR THE IIAN OF BLISI NESS- -Loii- don: F. Pitman. This is an extension of tho" Handy Guide for Drapers and Haberdashers," issued by the same publishers,— which we have no hesitation in saying, ought to be in the hands of every youth, intended f »r business of any description and the man engaged in trade will find it no unsuitable or useless companion. The author has been for many years," he tells us, in his Preface, en- gaged in commercial pursuits." He appears to be well acquainted with all the duties of a commercial man; and his Hand-Book contains instruction and information of the greatest interest to that class. He treats of tie importance and honourable character of commerce; of entering in business of the qualifications for a man of business; of the purchasing and the selling of goods of the arrangement of stock; of "business assistants," ni"iiey matters," and''intervals of business;" concluding with sundry useful lists and tables," which the business man will find very convenient to have al- ways at his elbow. Under all the heads we have enumerated, the advice given and instruction communicated, is alike sound, sensible, and practical: one brief extract—and the same tone runs through the book— will prove the truth of our remark. In earnestly recommending integrity," which comprehends soundness of principle, faithful- ness, honesty,"—the author says—" It should be re- membered, that it is the duty and even interest, of a man to be honourable as well as honest. Honesty pays, as well as demand, what is legally due; but it is a cold- liearted kind of virtue—commendable in itself, but not so pleasing as a liberal and honourable feeling, There is as much dilfei,eiiee between the two, as between arith- metic and poetry. Honour is as necessary to the man of business as courage is to the warrior, impartiality to the judge, fidelity to the wife, or sincerity to the friend; and a person violates this principle, when lie does what, in his calm opinion, or the judgment of another, would lower him in the estimation of honourable men." BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE for May. Edinburgh and London m. lilaekwood and Sons. A new tale is commenced in Maga,"—" Sir Brooke Fosabrooiie" which opens in Ireland, and the portion giver i3 diversified with incident and delineation of cha- racter.—A review of Percy Fitzgerald's Life of Lau- rence Sterne," does justice to the author of Tristram Shandy, who has been greatly misrepresented. Mr. Thackei-Liy beingono of the latest critics, who, in a paper which the writer in lilaekwood terms pleasant," but "stinging;" and which we think possesses much more of the latter character than the former, ha" left poor Sterne writhing before ns as the clever, grinning whin- ing'mountebank,'whom he, for his part, would have decorated with laurel and put. in the pillory at the same moment. There is another of Cornelius O'Dowd's agreeable papers; .a continuation of "MissMajori- atiks's career at Carlingford;asomewbat (lull, though very able paper, on The Kate of Interest," which the writer conclusively shews is not under our present mo- netary laws, regulated by natural causes, but by the artificial fetters imposed by a legislative monopoly; the 3rd part )f an Episode of Contempo- raneous Biography; a poem, To a La.d\ and an excelIentpap.ron'"TheStateofParties." The entire number sustains the high character of this popular pe- riodical. LONDON SOCIETY for May, 1S63. London: 9, St. Bride's Avenue, Fleet-street. This is a very entertaining number of a periodical, which is rapidly making its way in all reading circles; at which we are not surprised, as take it for all in all," we think it the best of the magazines published at the price whichMac Milian's Magazine," first rendered popular—one vliilling,-Tli(- arti eles are too numerous for us to name them all; but we may mention as espe- cially deserving of praise, the New Phase of an Old Story," "Uow we saw Cherbourg, The Lndv in Mus- lin," (which is concluded), The Merchant Princes of England," and An Kxcnreinu Extraordinary, or a Bird's Eye View of Africa. There are, also, some cu- rious anecdotes in the Souvenirs of a Man of Fa- shion," —whose reminiscences of many celebrities now almost forgotten. We quote one of the anecdotes which the writer rdates;- "I knew Mrs. Jordan, the most charming comi- j dienne our stage ever boasted. Nesbitt (Lady Bootl.by) came nearer to her in the ritiging laugh than any other woman, but Mrs. Jordan ^s jollity and cspi&jlcrie were incomparable. She used to do tae most daring tilings. I remember one being a t Drury Lane, when Georgo III. went to the theatre in state. On either side of the royal bo^ were two beer-eaters as sentinels. One of them Btood with his legs wide apart. Mrs. Jordan played The Homp,' in love in the City.' She had a doll in her hands, and wanting to be up to some other mischief, she was at a loss to know what to do with la poupdc, so she popped it down between the yeoman's legs. The roar which followed induced the old King to look over the box, and, when he saw the joke which the Thalia of the hour had perpetrated, he joined in the mirth of the audience. Her Majesty was shocked at the violation of etiquette, and looked, if possible, more starched than ever She was a strange combination of goodness and severity the very essence of propriety, and not wanting in the charities of life, but must exact- ing ill rebtioll to her suite." The illustrations to this number of London So- ciety," are numerous and good. THECIIUKCHMAN'S FAMILY MAGAZINE for May. London James Hogg and Sons. This is a most appropriate companion for the Church- man as it supplies reading for a family, at once attrac- tive and instructive. Too many writers on serious sub- jects, invest their articles in" mantle of dullness; but this is by no means the case with the contributors to Uiis periodical; who preserve a happy medium avoid ing alike flippancy, and undue sternness and severity. Of the papers in the present number, those on "Our Bishops and Deans," What I heard at Lambeth Pa- lace," A Popular History of the English Bible," and Our Clerical Club," are perhaps the best. The first treats of Dr. Colenso; an,1 it is written in a truly liberal spirit,—regretting that clergyman's attempt, to discre- dit any part of the Bible, while it does justice to his conduct and character. In the following closing remarks all must agree How happy would it have been if even oil his own ground Dr. Colenso had followed the inspiration of his better thought. Even supposing that the difficulties of the Old Testament where insu- perable to his mind, lie might have considered that he had already sketched out for himself a brighter destiny -it more illustrious part than his disastrous publicatiOll8 could have insured for him. How noble and pure a fame would have been his if he had recognised a deeper value in practical work than in bewildering speculation, and followed out the brightness of that thought which urged him to carry the blessings of Christianity and civilization into the interior of Africa. Better stirely this, than with the knife of a remorseless logic to have severed the links that bind a single human soul to the hope of everlasting life." Better indeed! And with the Bishop of Ely we say, how earnestly it is to be hoped and prayed, that one of such a fervid and intrepid spirit may yet turn back from the dark shadows and perplexed paths of this unhappy aberration." Bow BELLS, for May. London: John Dicks, 313, Strand. This periodical is indeed a marvel; the publishers give so much of literature, music, and artistic illustra- tions for so little money. Its price is only sevenpence and independant of the illustrations, there is about dou- ble the quantity of letter-press that we find in any of the shilling magazines whilst, the quality is not infe- rior. The editor docs his work carefully and well; and a more ably diversified periodical does not pass through our hands. Perhaps the tales are a tittle too sensational; but those we have read never offend against propriety and they abound in interest. No one can begin the Home Angel," or Woman's Battle," with- out Wishing to go ou with them. There -ire, also, com- plete tales in each number with Fashions and Patterns for the ladies; and pieces of original music. We repeat —the periodical, at its price, is a marvel. THE LADIES' TREASURY, for May. London Houlston and Wright. Mrs Warren has again brought out an excellent num- ber of her Treasury" for the ladies. "How I Ja- naged my Children from Infancy to Marriage," is finish- ed; and it is to be issued, we see, in a separate volume, It contains excellent lessons on domestic ecoiioiiiy; and we believe families brought up on the principles there laid down could scarcely fail of doing well. The tale of The Legacy," is continued and there is an interesting account of Miss Landon, taken from the "Atlantic Vlonthly." There are topograliical articles; patterns for "needlework,"the "Fashions," and "Gossip about Flowers and Plants," all illustrated. The article on Miss Landon, (whose poems, under the signature of L.E.L." were so deservedly popular), is by Mr. S. C. Hall. He says of that lady I have rarely known a woman so entirely fascinating as Miss Landon; and this arose, mainly, from her large sympathy. She was playful with the young, sedate with the old, and considerate and reflective with the middle-aged. She could be tender, and she could be- severe, prosaic and poetical, and essentially of and with whatever party she happened to he among. I remember this faculty once receiving an illustration. She was taking lessons in riding, and had so much pleased the riding master, that, at parting, he complimented her by saying, Well, madam, we are all born with a genius for something, and yours is for horsemanship.' —One of the many writers, who mourned her wrote, Apart from her literary abilities and literary labours, she was, in every domestic relation in life, honourable, generous, dutiful, self-denying, zealous, disinterested, aud untiring in her friendship. It would be difficult to fiold a woman deserving of higher praise. OU1\ OWN FIRESIDE, for May. London: IVm. Mac- intosh. There is great care evidently tnlcen in the editing of this periodical. All the articles may be read by young or old and, if read in a proper spirit it is impossible to rise from its perusal without good result. They must influence the feeliugs and atfactions of all sincere readers, and that in a right direction. They are not, however, all dry, dull, and didactic there is variety to cheer and even amuse, as well as instruct,—and we have great pleasure in every month calling the attention of our readers to the work, as a most suitable companion for the Christian fireside. We especially direct attention to the article in this month's number entitled Home," by the Kev. J. M'Connel Hussey, M.A., incumbent of Christ Church, North Brixton. If all homes were con- ducted oil the principles here inculcated, how happy they would be!—The papers entitled "liebekah's Tempta- tion," and those on China aud the Chinese," Geolo- gical Rambles," and" Voices from the Insect World," are also eminently deserving attention. CASSF.LL'S PERIODICALS AND SERIALS, for May.— London: CisselJ, Fetter, and Galpiii, Belle Sauvage Yard. This month we have the first part of Cassell's illustrated edition of FOXE'S BUOK OF NIAIITYIIS, -iU whose lives and deaths most "practical lessons on'truth aud holi- ness are to be found." This work will be a greater boon to the religious public, than even "The Pilgrim's Pro- gress," and The above War,"—because it is, at present, much more difficult of access than those works were before Cassell's Illustrated editions appeared. No work can be more important, more interesting; for, as the editor observes, in its introduction," the history of Christian martyrdom, is, in fact, the history of Christ- ianity itself; for it is in the arena, at the stake, and in the dungeon, that the religion of Christ has won its most glorious triumphs.—The work is beautifully printed on toned paper, and the illustrations are appropriate, and in execution, quite on a par with those in Messrs. Cassell and Co.'s other publications. The HOLY BIBLE, the BIBLE DICTIONABY, DON QUIX. OTE, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, the POPULAR NATURAL HISTORY, and the ILLUSTRATED SHAKESPEARE are carried on as they were begun and will, when com- plete, form most beautiful editions of the respective worl,s,-Tlie QUIVER, is an ably and carefully conduct- ed periodical There is considerable variety in the 7th part of the new series, now on our table; and the articles are all calculated to contribute to the avowed end and aim of the work,—to promote Religious, social, and intellectual progress." There are in the parts, 10chapters of a new tale, "Norton Parnell," which is very well written and the papers on the Wisdom of the Pentateuch," The Proverbs of Solomon," The Clapham Sect," and Leaves from my India Note Book," are especially deserving attention.—The ILLUS- TRATED FAMILY PAPER continues all thedepartmeuts we have before enumerated, as included in the new series and they are well conducted; that entitled The School of Self-culture," is especially deserving the attention of youths and adults, who have not had the advantage of a good education.—The tale of "Miriam Arkfield" is continued, and a new one, Shira," commenced; both are of a lugh class of fictitious narratives. Since the last monthly issue, the originator of these works—Mr. John Cassell—a man as useful in his day, as any we have known, and as deservedly respected, has been taken from us. A portrait and memoir of the fleceased are to appear in the next monthly part of the ILLUSTRATED FAMILY PAPER and the announcement, we have no doubt, will occasion a great demand for it. The memoir will be written by a minister, who knew Mr. Cassell well, and appreciated his labours. Books and Periodicals for Review to be sent to w. C.

CRYSTAL PALACE. The Season this year opens under the most auspicious circumstances. Fully convinced that the most liberal policy is that which will render success at the Crystal Palace most certain, the Directors, in announcing a uni- form Guinea Season Ticket, have put forward a list of attractions which may be truly said to be unequalled for their extent and character. Ten Opera Concerts, com- prising the entire Artistes of the Royal Italian Opera, and Her Majesty's Theatre, will be given on Saturdays during the coming three months. The Great Flower Show of the season will take place on Saturday the 20th of May. The Great Rose Show, the German Gymnas- tic Fete the Dramatic College Fete, the Archery Fetes, with a Grand Pyrotechnic Display, and many other great gatherings, including that of o,000 Singers of the Metropolitan Schools, on Wednesday next, conducted by Mr. G. W. Martin, will also be held. When it is borne in mind, also, that the Guinea Season Tickets ad- mit to all the Winter Saturday Concerts, of which, last year there were twenty-six, besides the other days of the year, it will be seen what an ample store has been pro- vided for the Season Ticket Holders during the coming twelve months. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the Season Tickets already taken out have greatly increased in number. The increased Railway facilities from all parts of the Metropolis, as well as the Lines leading to all parts of the suburbs, have brought the Crystal Palace within easy reach of thousands, hitherto debarred from frequent access to it. As the New High Level Station is nearly completed, these facilities will be shortly immensely increased, and there is little doubt that the Season now opening will be one of unusual prosperity to the Crystal Palace. The Handel Festival progresses in the most satisfac- tory manner. The alterations made in the corner galle- ries were completed and tested ou Good Friday with great success. Many hundreds of excellent additional seats have by this means beee provided on the floor of the Centre Transept. It has been decided by the Di- rectors that the Shakespere House shall be removed, and it is intended to raise the seats near the garden front of the Great Trausept, which will doubtless com- mand for them a ready sale. The Tickets for the Great Rehearsal have also been issued, and they are being sold very rapidly. An interesting Carte de Visite Photograph of the Four Thousand Performers, published for the Crystal Palace Company by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, has been circulated free throughout the country by hun- dreds of thousands. The Easter series of rehearsals of the various country contingents of the Handel Festival Choit. has just been concluded. A deputation from the Committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society, accompanied by Mr. E. Prout, I B.A., one of our most able of chorus masters, has visited many of the choirs residing in the South-western, wes- tern ? and midland aistricts, embracing a tour of nearly one thousand miles. The Committee report that the country division of the chorus thus visited was never in a more efficient condition, leaving no doubt that the zeal and energy of all concerned, are in no way abated, and that the Handel Festival," although it may not now present the charm of novelty, has acquired the more solid and stable claim of a settled institution in which it behoves all concerned to furnish to the public a due representation of the musical skill of the day in its fullest developement and progress. A similar series of rehearsals will take place at Whitsuntide, and will embrace a further section of the midland, also the south-eastern and northern districts. Several cathedral cities and other important placei not hitherto represen- ted will send deputations to the forthcoming Festival. The Season therefore promises, not only the greaest success for the Handel Festival, but one of the most euooeasful Seasons on record for the Crystal Palaes.
