Large teut-like awsiogs are suspended over the plants the whole length of the Palace, which, while protecting the flowers from the glare of the ✓un, do not interfere with the light and airy elect of the general view in the oentre transept and naves. The music for theday will be given on the great orchestra, the band of the Coldstream Guards being specially togsged for the °cm. sion, in addition to the baud of the compsoy. The exhibi tion itself, both for variety and extent, is expected to out puts all others of a like kind.

Mar 17 (vii Trieste). A change of Ministry has taken place. The names of the new Ministers are as follows : President of the Council M. Rao& Minister of the Interior M. Lendidis. Minister of Finance M. Komundurus. Minister of Justice M. Pieria. Minister for Foreign Affairs M. Trelganni. Minister for War . Minister of the Marine M. Canaria. Minister of Publio Worship M. Califrinoa. The National Assembly has voted an address, conveying its thanks to the three protecting Powers for the benefits they have hitherto conferred upon Greece. M. Gamier Pagbs has sent us the copy of a letter which he has addresand to M. &troche, and which IN is unable to publish in France. The following is a translation : In the heat of dirinasion you have allowed words of hatred and of anger against the government of 1848 to escape your lips. I have hesitated to truer them, be cause I experience extreme repugnance to reply to =just attacks. But it was at election time, sad in connexion with the elect oos, that you uttered these words; and as there is a more decided solidarity now between the past of 1848 sod the future, I cannot remain silent; and .I wish without rancour and without bitterness to afford you an opportunity of retracting what you must regret having said. After the suicide of the monarchy by King Louis Philippe the provisional government, born of necessity and of public safety, received your eager adhesion. It was you who as Eatoonier des Avocets, came and wished it =OMB I. the name of the bar of Paris, and when after seventy does of dictatorship during the storm it loyally surrendered its powers to the Constituent Assembly, it was you who voted the decree that it had " well merited of the country." Subsequently you asked to join a reunion of repretoutativos, the presidency of which I had the honour of sliarbig with M.M. Dupont de FEetre, Amigo, and Mario. • Why therefore do yet now seek to stigmatise a motto tbni in which you participated, and past events la which you were coecerned ? Do you we thus repudiate yourself? Wby not recognise services rendered? Did they not exceed and efface the faults that may have been com mitted? Were not your movements, year adhesions, and your votes justified by these measures of the government of 1848 ; the punishment of death for political offences abo lished ; slavery abolished ; the political oath abolished ; universal suffrage established ; every kind of liberty pro claimed ; the army and the navy re-organised ; gratuitous public instruction established upon the broadest basis ; dis count banks and general magazines crested ; postal reform accomplished ; the Bank of France yield by Its wee sad the small coupons Deng declared legal tendon ; the float- Mg debt reduced from 960 mallow to 320 mtllione ; all the debts of the monarchy liquidated ; public credit popularised, coesolidated, extended; the cosetry snatched from the ddelscaoar at bankruptcy, without paper money or forced loans, by a trifling temporary wierifice of 160 millions ob tained from those most heavily taxed, the poor being exempt, and largely compensated, moreover, by the aboli. Lion of the duty on salt ? Then as to the permanent reproach against the Minister of the Interior, M. Ledra Rollie, for a circular relating to the Comminaiones, the majority of whom had been taken from among the members of the Left and the Left•Centre. Whiners the victims of those proconsuls! Names single one. Empty prisons, unlimited individual liberty—such are the facts. It is time that the truth should be known, and that it should be no longer disguised by hostile sentiments. As to the national workshops, the unavoidable wee• gnome of public distress, and the expense of which, it ought to be knows, did not exceed fifteen millions (of frame), you doubtless thought that the time for finding fault with them would have been ill-chosen in 1848. I leave to others more qualified to reply to what you have mid of the government of General Cavaignac. But bow i. it that you have attacked the very act which does most honour to that government—the surrender, so worthily performed, of power to its successor? I stop here. I will not add to my letter comparisons which might seem recriminations. May God judge between you and us.—Your farmer oollessus, GAMMA P aoxs. To IL Earache, ex-Deputy. THE CHURCH OP THE HOLY SEPULCHRE AT JERUSALEM.-EXPRAORDINARY SCENES. A correspondent of the Tones, who was • witness of the great ceremonial of the Greek church at Jerusalem • few weeks ago, and of the still greater ceremonial of the ereabined Greek, Armenian, and Coptic churches with re sped to the " Holy Fire," gives • deplorable account of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. "In all the earldom" he rye, "in the entire circuit of the apes, in all the ',lmpala, in the Church of the Invention of the Crow, io our Saviour's prism, in all the aisles, min and desolation are making rapid strides—not a pillar, not a floor, not a wall, not • roof is fit for the limns of God. Certain pothole of the floor and moles are used for the purposes of our humanity—indeed, on this occasion any but the most conspicuous parts were used by any one , and the obscenities that met the eye were truly disgusting. The effluvium that hung about was unbearable. It was, of course, rendered worse by the quantities of food which was being eaten and brought to be eaten by thousands of beings during the next 24 hours ; but the state of every part of the church (other than the Lain church and the Greek nave) is • disgrace io its rottenness and in its filth ; while, worm than all, in the very rotun da where the sepulchre stands, one quarter of the noble dome is completely uncovered and gone, large pieoes of the remaining framework are banging down, the rest is as rotten as the wood in an old barn, and the rain oo that night pattered down on the spot where our Saviour was laid. I stood for a quarter of an hour in • large puddle with an umbrella up, within six feet of the grave which Joseph of Arimathes selected because it bad been unde filed by the presence of man. What a mockery wee the accumulated defilement before my eyes— food, excrement, imprecations, blasphemy, dirt, and desolation, redolent and resonant around !" At the first ceremonial, there were present in the corridor of the Latin church, where our Lord appeared to Mary es the gardener (and which, with the Greek nave, is the only part that is properly preserved). two or three hareem of ladies, who had to see the Giaour's show. They were evidently rich, and were a refreshing sight amid the mess of squalid misery, dirt, and fi lth which lay mooed. " Their beds and night-deemed were of the softest and whitest ; their cover lets of the richest silks ; they eat up Wishing and chatting, and Smalling to each other with the smallest of hands, the whited of arms, and the darkest of eyes. They pulled their yesbmaka down that the Giaoor might see their faces. Their black maids bustled about over the beds, and the young ladies ducked their heads ender. and then put them out again sod sat up sad laughed till the place rang again, while three tall eunuchs knelt with drawn sword, in front of that soft mass of down and silk and flesh, perfumed with rose-attar." As a pageant, the ceremonial was magnificent. " Flags and banners, mitred beads, crosiers and diamonds, deep bass voices, three thousand hands armed with the living flame, cremes and genuflexion'', incense and blessings, Homan candles and other sweetmeats, all made up a video which million have come from the distant parts of the earth to see, and none should on any account omit who are near the Holy Land at Eastertide." The second spectacle, that of the " Descent of the Fire," was by daylight. As time drew on, men seemed to go out of their minds with excitement. The refrain would be taken up by the Armenians, "Jesus Christ shed His blood for us, for us, for us." The Greeks and the Copts would continue it in the same words, the staves would get louder and Ruder, —each would dwell on the last " for us," as if it meant for us alone, when one of an opposing sect would shriek out., " That's a lie; it was not for you ;" then a fight and a general drimnisp of all who were Dear the combatants, till the whack, whack, whack of • certain Turkish colonel who kept order by means of a terrible whip, brought half a dozen broken heeds and ..:Awed minds to reason.

Preceded by his clergy, the Greek patriarch came forth in gorgeous apparel of white, followed by the Arme nia& bishop, in the absence of the Armenian patriarch. While the deep voices of the clergy saes the hymn of prayer sod praise, be moved slowly three Tine c t i round the Holy Sepulchre, and then, followed by the Armenian bialtop, and by him alone, he opened and entered the sacred door sod passed within. As the door eldest on them the excitement of the populace was beyoad all belief—shrieks, arms tossed on high, 'nursed dresses torn, were the external proofs of • tempest that raged within. It was exactly seven minutes that this (rem lasted before it was gratified by the sight of the heaven-sent flame. The theory is that the Armenian patriarch stays in the ante. chapel, where is the stone on which sat the angel at the door of the sepulchre, and that the Greek patriarch goes into the sepulchre itself, which is only large enough to hold three or four persons, and after player receives the flame direct from heaves.

A. number of pans, more or lees brilliant or faulty, are of coarse inlaid with laborious art in nearly every speech, bat we have not so many of these verbal quibbles as Mr. Byron generally treats us with. The goose and parodies are all ingenious and varied ; and the s Widows," with one or two exceptions, is not so hackneyed as some we have seen lately. The notion of ending the piece with • burlesque al • paa tomiraie finish is very humorous and happy. The production of this extravaganza has introduced two new actresses named Nelson to an Adelphi audience, and the introduction wee satisfactory to both parties. These young ladies, who are sisterly appeared in Loudon some little time ago, at the lit. James's Theatre, where their vocal talents were much admired. They are both well-trained angers, with very agreeable voices, and their personal attractions are couaidersble. Their acting is ladylike and pleasing, and they promise to be very useful menthols of Mr. Webster's company. The eldest sister played Leonora, the youngest Maarten ; and the reoeptioe accorded to them both was very warm and encouraging. The other familiar character' of the opera were distil betted =meat the old favourites of the theatre. Mr. Tools played the gipsy woman Asuman with great fords, fumy, and even grace ; and his performance of the mad scene near the sod had only one fault-it was a little too real and earnest. The grim humour of Bedlam is introduced a little too often just now at theatres and music halls ; and amuse. ment has been distilled from various representations ad idiotoy. One of these days we may expect to sea coarse, ignorant laughter excited by showing the limey side of blindness ; and if so we shall blame the authors, as in ibis case, not the scum. , Mr. Phillips was very pointed and useful as the Count di Luna, and all the small parts of the extravagazaa were well filled. Mr. Paul Bedford was dragged io to make the piece complete in a little character called " the Kinchiu"-a gipsy thief said "to have been lest for the occasion from the Plovers of the Forest." He went through his work with all the elasticity of perpetual youth, Sad was welcomed as be always will be welcomed by an Adelphi audience. The cells after the piece were very ocenplimeutary and general, and Mr. Byron came oe to bow his aeksowledgments. DRAMA. 2:l3ealere, Preside t da Tribun .1 de Commerce de Paris. N.
