their singings and doings is plainly out of the question . But we have space to allude to the delicious " IiO ! here the gentle lark , " of the late Sir Henry Bishop , which the beneficiare sang admirably to the strains of the marvellous young flautist , Drew Dean . She subsequently gave a Scottish melody , and took part with Kosina Pico , m Donizetti ' s duo , " Al bel distin . " Madame Budersdorff was encored in a song by A . Foster , " The Skylark , " and nearly so in the ' Robert toi que j ' aime , " of Meyerbeer . Miss IiOuisa Vinning was delightfulin " Where the bee sucks , " and " Vedrai Carino , "—so delightful , indeed , as to elicit , as a matter of course , those storms of applause that are ever in store for even mediocre versions of these justly favoured morceaux .

CRYSTAL PALACE . The Saturday Concert of last week was supported , pursuant to announcement , by Madame Anna Bishop and Mademoiselle Artot . Notwithstanding the absence from town of all but the regular notabilities , except , by the way , a few odd grand duchesses * or so , a numerous gathering of resident season ticketholders , besides Londoners of taste , attended to hear the last strains , at Sydenham , of the first-named favourite caniatrice , before her departure for America . They were not disappointed . Madame Bishop gave the " Cotne e cielo" of Donizetti , and " On the Banks of Guadalquiver " in her best style , and was rapturously applauded . No less favour was shown
to the admirable young Belgian singer , whose " Ah mon Fils , " from the " Prophete , " produced a marked sensation . No musical amateur who has not yet had the advantage of hearing Mademoiselle Artot , should neglect the first opportunity of so doing that may present itself . The : great annual festival of the Foresters will be held on Tuesday next . Some nervous readers may be apt to thank us for the news , as it were a caution ; but those who would see these charming grounds to the best advantage , and are neither ashamed or frightened at an assemblage of 50 , 000 holiday seekers of humble degree , wil l thank
us for the reminder . We were present at the last similar festival , when the official return numbered the Foresters and their friends at 45 , 738 souls , and have pleasing recollection of the effect produced by the apparently adequate peopling of the extensive space , both under cover and out of doors . On Wednesday the Vocal Association , under the direction of Mr . Benedict , held a brilliant meeting at the Palace . The chorus was 1 , 000 strong , arid performed a number of popular madrigals , glees arid harmonised airs , including " The Last Rose of Summer , " and " The Blue Bells of Scotland . "
Following the example of Madame Bishop who , on Monday , had a benefit concert at the Surrey Music Hall , Mr . Sims Reeves announces a monster benefit concert to take place this day . He will be assisted , among others , by Mademoiselle Artot , Mrs . Sims Reeves , and Signor Belletti , and will sing among the solos his " Good bye , Sweetheart , " " Sound an Alarm , " and ?• Come into the Garden , Maud . " The gardens are now in splendid order . On Monday they were well attended to witness a full performance by the fountains , which conducted themselves with unusual rectitude . There was hardly a breath of wind , and the grand jets were able consequently to go unwonted lengths . Upper and lower basins , temples , water steps , all , in fact , were in full
work or play , as the case may be ; and seemed to confer for a time the only feature that nature has denied to an otherwise beautiful landscape . The chief attraction within the palace just now is the large show-case of the Crystal Palace Art Union prizes . The works purchased for distribution by the committee are of rich material and workmanship , by the most renowned decorative manufacturers of the day , and , in the majority of instances , of singularly felicitous forms .. - Ttiere are goblets and shields , and jewel-boxes , djjshes , plates , vases enough , by various firms , to show that a large sum lias been expended , and that a goodly number of middle-das ? drawingrooms will derive an Additional attraction , thanks to this Art Union , which their owners might hardly have been possessed of without its assistance .

FRANCE AND RUSSIA . A Vlonna letter in , the Cologne Gazette says i" A very active exchange or despatches is taking place between Franco ana Russia . It is stated in diplomatic circles that the latter insists on the definitive regulation of the Italian question being confitted to ft European Congress . She invokes the convention agreed to , at the beginning of the war , between her and the French Government , by ¦ which
she undertook to maintain neutrality favourable to France , and the latter undertook in return to labour after the w . ar to obtain the meeting of : a Congress which should decide not only on the Italian question ^ but on modifying , in conformity with the wishes of Russia , the treaty of Paris of 1856 . Russia has faithfully fulfilled her engagement , and France is now bound to fulfil hers . "

FRANCE . A letter from Paris says of the amnesty : — "It relieves all persons from the action of the law of public safety so long ns they shall not have incurred fresh condemnation from the tribunals . The satisfaction it gives is great and general , not only here , but , according to a telegraphic correspondence , among the majority of the exiles in London and Brussels , who nro particularly pleased with the absence of all conditions , arid many of the principal of whom , it is said , propose immediately returning to France . The measure , it appears , extends not only to refugees , but to persons suffering banishment
in the French penal settlements , and two steamers have , started , or are on ( ho point of starting , for Algeria and Guiana , in order to bear the good news speedily to the unfortunate men who have , at various times been transported thither on account of real or alloged political offenceB . " Another correspondent eays : — "A rumour has been in circulation this afternoon respecting a . duel between Canroberl and Niol , the former marshal having been killed by his opponent . I am bound to notice it from its general diffusion over town . " According to letters received from Paris to-day , the rumour is current that the Empress is again pregnant .

THE TRIAL OF SMETHURST . This ( Friday ) afternoon , at ten minutes to four the Lord Chief Baron completed his summing up , which was decidedly unfavourable to the prisoner . The jury then retired to consider their verdict ; and after an absence of three-quarters of an hour returned a verdict of Guilty . The Lord Chief Baron then put on the black cap , and the Clerk of the Arraigns asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why judgment should not be passed on him . The prisoner said the whole of the witnesses had distorted the true facts of the case in such a manner that his life had been sacrificed . Dr . Julius he especially condemned ; and the assertion of the sister of the deceased , that she was
never able , to see her sister Isabella alone , except for two or three minutes at a time , was totally and entirel y false . With respect to the motive for the crime attributed to him—namely , wishing to obtain possession of the money belonging to the deceased , such was false and untrue , as he had no occasion to seek the death of the lady , as he could have obtained her money , if such had been his object , without committing murder . Throughout the trial it had been said that it was not his intention to remain with Miss Bankes after he had obtained all she was possessed of . His attachment to her was strong , and the marriage at Kennington Church was as much the act of the deceased as his , arid it was only done in order that she might appear to her friends as a married woman .
The Lord Chief Baron , after repeated interruptions from the prisoner , proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner . In doing so his lordship said it was one of the most horrible cases of murder ever heard of . The prisoner left the dock exclaiming that Dr . Julius was his murderer , and calling the Almighty to witness that he was innocent of the crime of which he had been found guilty .

TUSCANY . A tEUER from Florence states that there are two parties in the National Assembly of Tuscany , one which holds that the union with Piedmont should be voted with a clause that , should there be political reasons against i ts realisation , Tuscany would accept other princes not belonging to the house of Lorraine ; the other proposes to vote the union with Piedmont without any clause , and l et the powers settle the question otherwise , should that course meet with difficulties . The former are called unionists of the hypothesis , and the latter- pure unionists . Ihe- former , on the el ection of the President , mustered 75 strong in favour of Lambruschini ; the latter only 74 in favour of Coppi ; but a second ballot gave 100 votes to Coppi , arid 73 to Lambruschini , showing that at the first ballot several members had abstained from voting .

At tho fourth annual meeting of the Dramatic , Equestrian , and Musical Sick Fund Association , last week , tho accounts submitted , and since published , seem to show that tho institution is not half sup * ported , and that , from the nature of the relief it offers , and the encouragement it holds out to provident members of tho profession , it is worthy of warmer countenance . The money lent and distributed during-the year ending on tho 4 th July was 131 / ., and , the machinery of the society , during the same period , cost 2 B 2 J ., or thereabouts . This would remind us of the Literary Fund , wore we not a ware that however email tho income of the body , tho outlay In rent , salaries , stamps , collectors , and advertisements , la a necessity . But there can bo no doubt that tho same machinery could work a far larger concern ., and wo think » larger ** duty "
should , somehow , be got out of it . We entirely agree with our spirited and entertaining little contemporary The Entr ' acte , to whom we are indebted for the above figures , as to the Value of the institution and its claims upon public sympathy and larger support by the profession .
