Everything is on so gigantic a scale that the visitor might almost fancy himself suddenly dropped into some strange region inhabited by industrious Cyclops. Huge columns of iron stand like giant sentinels in stately rows, and ponderous girders lie prostrate on the ground and seem to defy all the efforts of mechanical science to raise them. Several of these enormous girders, however, are already lodged on their lofty resting places. A long eerie. of splendid arches, each one of which would make a large railway station, presents to the eye a marvellous effect of perspective, and affords • multitude of platforms for the rapid loading and unloading of merchandise. These platforms are now nearly finished, and, like everything around them, they are wondrous both in their magnitude and in their construction. Their surfaoes are as 'wroth as marble and as bard as granite, being covered with Pyri mont Seymell Asphalt., laid on a bed of carefully levelled concrete. They are in every way similar to, and for the same duty as, those that have been in conduit use for many years at the Great Northern and North Western depots for goods at King's-cross and Camden-town. The adoption of asphalts at all these places arose from its use at Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s depot in Wood-street at the time it was erected in 1843. The whole of these works have been confided for execution to Mr, Jay, the eminent railway contractor. FLocianto IN nil ARAIT.—The new Mutiny Act contains the amendments in the law as to flogging in the army. According to the 22nd section, as now altered, any court-martial may sentence • soldier to corporal punishment for mutiny or for insubordination &mom ponied with personal violence, and save as set forth no court-martial is to have the power to sentence any soldier to corporal punishment ; with a proviso that a court-mar tial may sentence a soldier to corporal punishment while on active service in the field or on board a ship not in commission, for mutiny, insubordination, desertion, drunkenness on duty or on the line of march, disgraceful conduct, or any breach of the Articles of War ; and no sentence of corporal punishment is to exceed fifty lashes. In addition to corporal punishment imprisonment with or without hard labour may be added. Further, the act provides that in cake in which corporal punishment forms the whole or part of a sentence such corporal punishment may be commuted to imprisonment, to bard labour not exceeding forty-two days, or to mitigate it to twenty days, or the corporal punishment to twenty lashes, with or with out solitary confinement. As the law now stands, flogging in time of peace is confined to the offences mentioned in the present act, which is only to continue in force for one year. NORFOLK " TOMBLAND FAlR."—This great fair was held on Thursday at Norwich. The " bill" was • blank as regards cattle, the order of the Privy Council of March 94, 1866, prohibiting the holding of fairs for horned cattle, being still unrevoked. Under these circumstances the fair was principally confined to sheep, although there was a considerable number of horses on offer. The num ber of sheep penned was 13,000, producing in dues 261. It is believed that even this considerable number of she ep would have been exceeded but for an impression which prevailed towards the close of last week that no fair would be held at all. The attendance of distant buyers was large, all parts of Norfolk being not only represented, but gentlemen being present from Lincolnshire, Cambridge shire, Suffolk, F:Asex, ikc. The weather having greatly improved, and the demand being good, hoggette advanced in price Is. to 2s. per head, and • large amount of business was doneat the advance. Fat sheep in their wool, 9s. to 9s. 6d. per 141 be. ; ditto naked, 7s. 6d. to Ra. per 141bs. Some of the horses shown made high prices.

The Madras Bank has declined the proposal of a state bank for all India, but the negotiations with the Bank of Bombay on this subject still continue. A telegram received from Calcutta states that the Bank of Bengal will not modify the first proposal. A public meeting has been held at Calcutta in order to protest against the new license tax. At a meeting of Mahommeclans in Calcutta it was re solved to present Sir Cecil Beadon with a compli mentary address especially thanking him for his services during the late famine. The disputes between the planters and the ryots in the Tirhoot indigo district have been amicably settled. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have announced the issue of return tickets to and from Europe, with a reduction of 20 per cent, on the return voyage within sir months. The Rev. L Meurin is stated to have been ap pointed Roman catholic bishop of Bombay, in place of Dr. Steins, promoted to the archbishopric of Calcutta. THE WAR IN THE BRAZILS. RIO DE JANEIRO, MARCH 23. Dates have been received from the seat of war to the 9th inst. Nothing of importance had taken place, and the monotony of the camp was only broken by a few shells thrown from the Para guayan lines, and answered by the Brazilians on shore and on board the vessels of the fleet. A decree was published on the 15th calling out 8,000 more National Guards, which have to be furnished by the capitals of the provinces and the towns nearest to them. The city of Rio de Janeiro has to furnish 1,000 men. This measure has met with much opposition from the National Guard, but well-informed persona affirm that if the con tingent be not forthcoming within the tune speci fied the guard of the capital will be dissolved, and the men recruited. His Highness Count d'Eu is most anxious to go to the seat of war, and has applied to the Minister of War for permission. The Council of the State has been consulted, and has given an adverse de cision. The majority of the council are political friends of the present commander-in-chief, the Marquis of Caxias, who would lose his posi tion if the Count, his senior officer, were to go South. At the same time his highness is a very young man, and the old councillors may perhaps on that account hesitate in confiding to his hands the destiny of the war. The result of the elections in the more distant provinces is now known here, and is generally favourable to government. Out of one hundred and twenty-two deputies, not more than thirty or thirty-five belong to the opposition. A decree, dated the 16th, has been issued, fixing the amount of Bank of Brazil notes to be withdrawn from circulation by each of the branch banks. The whole amount is 25,766,681.248 (2,576,6681.), the proceeds of the sale of the metallic reserve of the bank. There will still remain in circulation the sum of 45,000,000.000 (4,500,0001.) which has to be gradually withdrawn from circulation, com mencing with 5 per cent. of the amount on the Ist July next. No dividends are henceforth to be paid by the bank until the sum fixed by govern ment to be withdrawn for the year be really in the coffers of the bank. RIO DE JANEIRO, MARCH 24. Orders having been given to several corps of the National Guard to go into quarters, and some of the superior officers having excited their men to die obedience, the government, by a decree issued at 11 o'clock last night, has cashiered several of these officers. If the resistance of the National Guard continues the ministry will break up the whole force, which will be a very energetic measure, considering that all the troops of the line are now absent in Paraguay.

General Schofield has announced that only persons who have taken the oath to support the Federal Constitution will be appointed officers of the State Convention. General Sickles has ordered all persona objecting to the present incumbents of the civil offices in his district to i report their objections to the post-commanders. Governor Worth and Orr have nad satisfactory inter views with the military cowman ere, wno will permit the governors to appoint officers to fill civil vacancies. General Pope has announced that the congressional enactment disbanding the Southern militia will be strictly enforced in hie district. General Sweeny has disbanded the negro militia of An- Vida (Genies). General Scott, sonimauding at Charleston, hu issued a circular advising the freedmen to be lea violent in demand ing their rights. The preliminaries to the registration of voters in the Southern districts are progressing. It is reported that the government disapprove of the muse pursued by General Sheridan in removing the Louisiana officers. It is also reported that Charles O'Connor is about to petition the Supreme Court on behalf of Georgia, to grant an injunction to restrain the President and General Pope from executing the Reconstruction Act in reference to that State. The Herald states that a union meeting held in Smyth county, Virginia, was dispersed by armed men, who after wards orpinised a meeting and passed resolutions de nouncing Congress. On General Schofield being informed ' he sent an officer to investigate the affair. A large and enthusiastic conservative union meeting of whites and blacks has been held at Chattanooga.

A letter from Rome in the Dibats says :—" For some days past, as you are aware, there has been circulated in Rome a manifesto emanating from a society, more or lees secret, calling itself Centre of Insurttetion' the seatof which is not known. That document, which has been reproduced by the Italian journals accompanied by a letter of adhesion from Garibalcli, was clandestinely posted up in the Corso and in other streets. Gendarmes and police agents were seen last week tearing down the papers from the walls. The Roman Na tional Committee has just replied to this anonymous production by a proclamation in which, without repudiating the programme of its antagonists, namely, to expel foreign soldiers and proclaim Rome as the capital of Italy,' it declines the responsibility of such a step, and appears desirous of reserving for itself, when the proper time shall come, the direction of the enterprise. An infer ence may be drawn from this double manifestation, and from the co-operation of Garibaldi, which can no longer be doubted, that the bold condottiero is preparing some scheme. It is affirmed here that the old Garibaldian volunteers have received notice not to go far away from the capital, and that the Roman emigrants have been invited to return to their country separately and without arms." TURKEY. The Levant Herald of the 10th gives the sub joined account of the proceedings of Prince Michael of Servia in Constantinople : In the lull occasioned by the graver interest of the Western telegraphic news, the movements of Prince Michael have formed the chief local incident of the week. On Wednesday his highness paid his visits to the Grand Vizier and the other ministers at the Porte, and later in the afternoon to the representatives of the guaranteeing powers. On Thursday he received the return visits of AILS Pubs and his principal colleagues. and those also of the leading foreign ministers. On Friday Djemil Pasha invited the Prince to the palace, where be had a second long audience with the Sultan, from whom he received the Osmanli in brilliants and a present of five splendid Arab horses. From Dolma-baktche he drove to the Sweet Waters of Europe, and in the evening dined with A'ali Pasha. On Saturday morning he at tended mar at the chapel of the Patriarchate iu the Phansr. and in the evening was the guest of Lord Lyons at a grand dinner, at which the principal Turkish ministers and the chiefs of the diplomatic body were pre sent. Sunday forenoon was spent in visiting the sights of Stamboul, and in the evening his highness dined with M. Bout*, the French ambassador. On Monday evening he was the guest of Baron Prokesch, and the next day was similarly entertained by General Iviatieff. Tax CESSION or Rumen ANEEICA.—A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Nord, referring to the ces sion of Ruasian-America to the United States, makes the following observations:—" In examining the transaction from the point of view of national interests and the pro gress of civilisation in general, its importance can scarcely be overlooked. In fine, Russia, on the oue hand, and the United States on the other, are advancing, the first in the east, the second in the west, towards the Pacifier Ocean, which is destined to become the great highway of com mercial relations between those two states. But befoi• arriving at that important result Russia must fill up the immense vacancies in the population of Siberia, a work which will require a long time to accomplish. For American-Russia to be of any utility to the mother country, all Siberia and the province of the Amcor must be first sufficiently peopled for them in their turn to send their surplus population on to the American coast. In the United States the situation is entirely different. They have already a compact population on the shores of the Pacific, and Russian-America touches that ocean. The colonising spirit of the Yankees will soon people all the coast as far as Behring's Straits. Where Russia would have been perhaps centuries in colo- nising a country situated at the extreme east of her pos sessions, the Americans, who have it under their hands, will arrive at the same result in a few years. The conse quences will be the immediate peopling of the two opposite coasts of the Pacific ; a great and beneficial influence will thus be exercised on the province of Amoor, the district of Ockhotsk, and the peninsula of Kamschatka, the com mercial resources of which will become developed simulta neously with American colonization in the present posses sions of Russia on the continent of the new world. We are there in exactly the mine situation as the English in India, and we consider it infinitely more desirable to have to do with citizens of the United States in the north of the Pacific than with Koloclies and Foquimaux, just as the English must prefer to treat with Russians rather than with the barbarous and fanatical governments of Central Asia. The transaction is therefore an advantage to both countries, and, also, there is reason to hope, for the progress of industry, commerce, and civilization which it will realise."_ _ _ OaTexAL PALACZ. -ON Z SHILLING DAY.— FRIDAY, APRIL 19.—idmiseiona on payment. 43,730; ditto by sworn Mao* 4,213 ; total Adieu, 47,013. FRANCE. (noN Ott OWN COI PARIS. THURSDAY Eva/mtg. The following by no means reassuring paragraph appears in the Prunes : Three o'clock.—To-day an anxiety more marked than we have lately observed prevails in political and business circles. It is alleged that the efforts of England to bring about an understanding on the Luxemburg question have not been favourably received at Berlin. Up to the hour at which we write we know of nothing to oonfirm these rumours. The impression, which has had • bad effect upon the public fund. seems to us capable of explanation, mainly by the conatruCtion put upon certain puasges in the King of Prussia's speech. People say that if con ciliatory ideas were really in the ascendant at Berlin, the royal speech would certainly have contained some indica tion of such praiseworthy feelings. We . cannot, how ever, help being on our guard against untoward news. It must be well known at Berlin that France sincerely desires peace, and that peace can only be oum promised by a refusal to give sati s faction to rights which are henceforth indissolubly connected with the security of Europe. I wrote to you a fortnight ago, on the faith of a Berlin letter from a good source that Prussia I had determined not to give way. do not really see why she should. If indeed the Luxemburg question, raised by France , in complicity with the King of Holland, were anything more than a pre text laggishossat war which the Emperor has long meditated, and in which he means to employ the vast army he is raising by way of diversion from the dreaded general elections of 1869, it might be worth Prussia's while, for the sake of not to let France have Luxemburg, whi is out of the question—but to neutralise the province and incorporate it with Belgium. But the French Emperor unfortunately countenances writers who say every day that he means to have Belgium. Prussia, therefore, unless (which seems out of the i question) some means can be adopted of binding the French Emperor over to keep the peace, is perfectly justified in refusing to be a party to an arrangement, openly regarded in France as but provisional, if acceptable at all, and which would only have the effect of making Belgium a bigger mouthful to be swallowed whole at no distant day. It is a most unfortunate thing that French press writers generally now talk as the France does about compliance with the " rights " of France as the only condition of peace. What rights ? The sale by the King of Holland is no longer insisted upon, he having, when he found what a row the job was making, expressed his desire not to complete a projected contract, which, it should be recollected, M. }Wither solemnly declared never went beyond the stage of conversation (pntrpariers). But, quite indepen dently of the Dutch abortive attempt to sell 200,000 people, but for which M. Rouher again admits the Luxemburg question would never have arisen at all, the French papers now say France has at least a right to turn the Prussian gar rison out of Luxemburg. Never was an alleged " right " preferred on grounds more difficult to be defined. Jealousy of German unity, with Prussia at its head, may no doubt be a very good cases beUi, but of " right " to an extension of territory growing out of it I can see no shadow. It is commonly said here, that with the de struction of the Diet of Frankfort the right of Prussia to garrison Luxemburg necessarily fell to the groune. But it is forgotten that the treaty of 1839, between Holland and Prussia, gave Prussia a right to garrison Luxemburg with Prussian (not merely Federal) troops, and stated that the object was the mutual defence of the territories of the King of Holland and the King of Prussia. It is clear that this treaty of 1839 gave the King of Prussia rights which the King of Holland could not sell, quite independently of the question, by no means of easy solution whether, in the events that have happened, Pruss ia is not the executor of the defunct Germanic Confederation, and entitled at least to see that Germany shall not be weakened by conquests made tor the purpose of strengthening and consolidating her power. M. de Tornaco, who has arrived from the Hague on a special mission, is charged to announce to the Emperor Napoleon that the Dutch government wishes to isolate Luxemburg completely from the kingdom of the Low Countries. M. de Lightenveld, the Dutch minister at Paris, will no longer be the representative of that Grand Duchy. M. de Tor nado will assume, provisionally, the post of Luxemburg Charge; d Affaires at Paris, but in the character of a non-resident minister. The King of the Belgians left Paris at three o'clock this afternoon by special train for Brussels. He will sleep to-night at his Lacken palace, and leave to-morrow morning for Berlin to be present at the wedding of the Count of Flanders with the Princess Marie de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Yee terday afternoon Leopold 11. had a long interview with the Emperor at the Tuileries, and there are people who hope that their conversation on the eve of the King's departure for Berlin may have a happy influence upon coming events ; but it must be confessed the rumours of the day point in quite an opposite direction. The Bourse, which during the closing minutes of yesterday inclined to put a favourable construction on the King of Prussia's speech, read it in quite a different light to-day, and leant a ready ear to the rumours that the negotiations are not going on well. The Rente has gone down to the lowest qua tations since the first war panic set in, closing at 66.40 for cash, and 66.14 for account, with a fall of 60c. and 62ic. Mobilier fell 15f.; Credit Foncier, 27.50 ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 12.50 ; the Northern Railway, 17.50 ; and Lyons, 10f. Italian fell 1.50 f., the depression being aided by a rumour that M. Ferrara, the Finance Minister, had thrown up his portfolio. The Journal des Costiesiseancee Midicales contains the summary of a paper by Dr. Broca on the popu lation of France with regard to ita recruiting power, as follows : It appears th►t the general increase of population noticed since the beginning of the century has particularly ex tended to the number of young men who attain the age of 20. Of these, the proportion fit for military service in 1836 was 61 per oent, and has been constantly growing since ;itis at present 66 per cent. 1)r. Broca states that France, with her present population, can afford to con tribute to the army an annual contingent of 100,000 men, but that the population would be materially checked in its increase, and certain parts of the country exhausted, were that contingent to be increased. During the four years 1853 —lBs6,when the number of recruits was raised to 140,000 per annum, the annual increase of population under went • perceptible diminution. The author mention as a favourable circumstance, that the number of men rejected for being below the standard has been annually decreasing; and he regrets that the average stature of men in France should not yet nave been determined by actual investi gation. He does not subscribe to the opinion that statures above the standard are diminishing ; from a minute corn. parison of the recruiting lists of grenadier and other regi ments in which tall men are required, from 1836 to 1840, and from 1860 to 1864, he has arrived at the conclusion that tall statures are on the increase in France. Nmer theless there is some fluctuation on this point, the annual contingents comprising sometimes a larger number of men of the common standard, and sometimes of the higher one. This he explains by the circumstance that the north and north east of France is peopled by the Belgian race, which is tall, with light hair and blue eyes, and the centre, south, and west comprises the Celtic race, which is short set and has dark hair and eyes. A casual increase of po pulation on one side more than on another may therefore determine a preponderance of tall men one year, and the contrary the next.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—SACRED CONCERT. Yesterday a series of musical entertainments was provided for the many thousands of visitors who pissed their Good Friday holiday at the Crystal Palace. The performances commenced at one o'clock with a selection of pieces played on the organ by Mr. James Coward; after which, at half-past one, the band of the Coldstream Guards, under the direction of Mr. F. Godfrey, gave vari ous sacred movements, with a perfection of execution and refinement of style that could scarcely be surpassed by any wind-bend in Europe. At half-past three the vocal selection commenced, and by this time the masses of people assembled in front of the Handel orchestra (where the performances took place), and ex tending widely on each side, as well as reaching even to the upper opposite galleries, presented a spectacle such as can only be seen on such an occasion in such a locality. The programme consisted chiefly of detached pieces from well-known oratorios, and as these were given by singers equally well known, there is no need for a recapitulation of all the details. That the attraction offered to the multitude was great, and that the attendance was unusually large, may readily be inferred when it is considered that the occasion was a holiday, the admistion one shilling, the weather of the brightest, and the vocal solo performers wine /Endow likelsndricr fitse sins •• 't T Reeves, Yr. &Idler, * and Inhe. la addition Se a es. inbreed chorus, the Crystal Palace band with that of the Coldstream Guards, and the great organ. The concert minesenoe4 with the Hundredth Psalm by the united bands, organ, and chorus, with an intimation in the pro gramme that " the public were requested to join in unison" —a request repeated with reference to the Evening Hymn and the National Anthem—an invitation, however, some what timidly responded to, and, in some instances, with • tendency to improvised basses and harmonies rather than an adherence to the prominent melody. Mr. Santley's singing of " The trumpet shall sound," with Mr. Thomas Harper's admirable obbligato accompaniment on that instrument; Mr. Reeves' singing of "If with all your haute ;" Madame Ruderslorff's energetic delivery of the " Infiammatus," from Rimini's Staled Meter; Mr. Weias's spirited singing of " Arm, arm, ye brave," with other equally well-known solos by those artists, are too familiar to need fresh comment. There were also solos fee the cornet, consisting of arrangements of sacred pieces, performed by Mr. Levy with his usual resonance of tone. The whole of the performances appeared to give unmixed satisfaction to she vast con course of persons who were assembled within, and even without, the range of hearing—and whose numbers, added to the many who were enjoying the fine weather in the grounds outside, we heard surmised as something like fifty thousand. On this point, however, the official re turns will afford the only reliable information. It is cer tain, however, that there has seldom if ever been finer weather, or a larger assemblage at the Crystal Palace on any previous Good Friday. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW. RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS. Yesterday tho authorities of the South-Eastern Railway completed their arrangements for the conveyance of the main body of volunteers to Dover. The metropolitan volunteers, who will be conveyed from the Charing-cross and Cannon-street stations to Dover on Monday next, ban been ordered by the War-office to be in attendance at Cannon-street and Charing-cross stations respectively at stated intervals, between 4.50 a.m. and 6 a.m. The trains for the volunteer will be placed in position a 'de a platform at each station, and be ready for loading directly the several volunteer corps are admitted within the station, and this will be carried out by a staff officer ' in conjdnctice with the company's officials. Eight trains will start from Cannon-street and five from Charing. cross. Each train will be made up of 21 vehicles ( covered carriages and one Ilrst-class), inchAng three brAkes. Meech train will accommodate about 600 volunteers, it follows that the South Eastern Railway Company will convey from their metropolitan termini about 8,000 troops. The specials by this line will start as under —From Cannon. street, 4.5.), 5.2, 5.8; Uharing-ovves, &I% 5.16; Cannon. street, 5.22; Charing-cross, .5.25; Cannon-street, 5.35, 5.50, 5.55; Charing-cress, 6.0; Cannon-street, 6.10; Charing. cross, 6.15 a.m. These special trains will return from Dover in the evening to Cannon-street and Charing-cross about every ten minutes, from 6.15 to 7.45 p.in. Those 8,000 volunteers will be conveyed in about 300 carriages. An early special train, with officers' servants and horses, will leave Charing - cross at k 0 a.m., calling at Red-hill and Aahford, and arriving at Dover at 6.15 a.m. This train will run to, and unload at, the Dover-town plat form. It will not take horses from the country stations. The special will return from Dover to Charing-cross at about 11.0 p.m., calling at the same stations as above. Two trains of hones may be expected to return from Dover in the evening. There will also be volunteer specials from country stations to Dover. From the main line leaving Red-hill at 4.30 a.m. (empty) calling at Sdenbridge, at 5.0 Penshurst, Tunbridge, Staplehurst &c., and arriving at Dover at about 6.40 a.m. ; from the North Kent line, leaving Plum stead at 4.45 a.m., calling at Dartford, be., and arriving at Dover about 7.25 a.m. ; keying Plumatesa at 5, calling at Gravesend lac., and reaching Dover about 7.40 a.m.; leav ing Blackheath at 5.0, calling at Plemsteatl, be., and arriving at Dover about &O a.m. ' leaving Bricklayers' Arms (empty) at 10 a.m., calling at New Crow, &c., and arriving at Dover about 8.10 ant. Volunteer specials will run from Hastings. vii Ashford, at 7.20 and 8.40 a.m. ; from Tunbridge Wells at 7.45, Croydon at 8.30, and Guild ford at 8.0 a.m. _ _ Mr. C. W. Eborall, the general manager, and Mr. J. P. Knight, the outdoor superintendent, have taken extra pre. cautions to secure the safety and convenience of the volun teers and general public. Smeeth and Shorncliffe camp stations will remain open throughout Easter Sunday and Monday nights, and all stations on the North Kent line between London and Maidstone, and on the Paddock. wood branch, will also remain open on the same nights, while the stations on the Ashford and Meetings and Tun bridge Wells branches will not close till all their specials have returned. Temporary sidings for ten trains have been laid onin the spare ground at the Folkestone end of the Shakespeare tunnel. Extra signalling etations will be opened, and work from noon to-day till Tuesday. In the evening on the return the public will not be ad mitted to the Dover station till all the volunteer speculs have left. The London specials will be started first, and the two entrances to the station for 'hove volunteers will be at the booking-office, Beach street, and at the large gates, near the locomo tive shed in Great-street. The departure and arrival platforms will be used for these 'medals. The country specials will be started from the Dover town platforms and Middle-road. About 3,500 volunteers will be con. veyed by the London, Chatham, and Dover line in trains, each made up of IX carriages, and the despatching of these will be under the supervision of Mr. Forbes, the general manager. The South Western will also run vo lunteer special trains from Farnham at 7.20 a.m. ; Sun bury (Thames Valley), 5.20 a.m. ; Staines (Staines and loop line), 5.20 a.m. ; Chertaey (main line and Chertsey), 5.20 a.m. ; Kingston, 5.35 11.111. ; and Waterloo (South Eastern station), at 6.30 cm. This traffic will be under the direction of Mr. Godson, Mr. Williams, and Mr. ye runder, and a staff. At a rough guess the total number of volunteers expected to be present at Dover may be esti mated at from 15,000 to 20,000 men. CHAPEL ROYAL, Savor.—To-morrow morning this ancient chapel will be re-opened upon completion of the decorations commandedby the Queen, and entrusted by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to Means. Clayton and Bell. The panelled roof has been much ha. proved by the substitution of a colouring of azure blue, in place of the dark tint adopted on the last restoration. The walls of the chapel have been distempered throughout, special richness and elaboration being reserved for the sacrarium. A series of canopied angels bowing shields charged with emblems of the Paasion fill the upper aides of the chanceL The armorial bearings of the sovereigns of England and Dukes of Lancaster occupy the spaces in the nave. The reredos has been gilded with much good taste, the central panel being filled with • cross of gold, relieved on a cruciform field of red. The memorials to Hilton and de Wint, the watercolour painters, have been replaced by a richly-carved stone font and oak canopy. The monument to Richard Lander, the discoverer of the course of the Niger, and first gold medallist of the Royal Geographical Society, is about to be restored. The resti tutiuu of other memorials for which the old chapel was famous is in contemplation. Candles have been in part substituted for gas in the lighting of the chapel. - The beautiful garden surrounding it Wu been most skilfully arranged by Mr. Broome, F.L.R., the gardener of the Inner Temple. The chapel may be seen every day between the hours of eleven and one o'clock. ~ "Tat PAXSON AND SIGH" IN WIDITMORZLAND. --Once it would not have been thought at all enlisters/ to say, as it has been said, of a graceless character :—" He keeps vara' bed company, '1 parson and ',ch."
