To -MORROW. -Morning, lb. 58m.—Afternoon, 2h. 12m. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, EB R UARY the spiritual lieges of the POPE may do, we presume, as to the advisability of main taining or yielding up the temporal power appertaining to the Papacy during the last thousand years : but, to regard it as a dogma of the Church, as a fundamental principle of the Religion, would surely be the last extremity of ex travagance ! What an avalanche of overwhelming texts from Scripture, dead against them, would they not draw down upon their heads instanter! "My kingdom is not of this world "—" a house built upon sand "—and so forth ad infinitum. But, as " the dog-star rages," apparently when MSEITILLoTtakes pen in hand for the writing of his very remarkable politico-theology—as the moon clearly about that time must have affected the condition of his brain as author of the Parfam de Rome—Father PASSAGLIA falls under a torrent not by any means of Scriptural quotations, but of appalling maledictions, resound ing in every sentence like a horrible echo of that hideous refrain in one of AINSWORTH'S witch songs, or demon chaunts— " Anathema Maranatha, Dread was the curse of Mandragora." Talk of the volley of curses hurled back upon Athens by TIMON of that ilk when quitting the city for the sylvan wilderness in SHAKSPERE'S violet-crowned classic drama—the words there dropping from the poison-breathing lips of the terrible manhater, are like sprinklings of the milk of human kindness by comparison with M. VEUILLOT'S venomous ob jurgations upon Father PASSAGLIA. The Paris cor respondent of our chief morning contemporary, in giving the pick of these most deplorable vitupe rations, says fascetiously, in remembrance of my Uncle TOBY, " Our armies swore terribly in Flan ders," adding, " but nothing to this." There is only one other tornado of curses that M. VEUILLOT'S really can be said to pat one in mind of—namely, that recorded in astounding rhyme upon the grotesque tablets of THOMAS IN GOLDSBY— " He cursed him in eating, He cursed him in drinking, He cursed him walking and talking, and thinking," and " the rest,"through page after page of whimsical and horrible maledictions. M. VEUILLOT, however, in emptying out his dreadful anathemas, appears to be in every miserable sentence frightfully in ear nest. It is a clear case of stark, staring lunacy— of fanaticism gone distracted and becoming—so far as words can enable any one to become so—dan gerous. A tin kettle tied to a dog's tail at mid summer is about the surest possible preparation for a hopeless case of hydrophobia. And in clattering this tin kettle of curses at his heels in the shape of his last literary production, the Parfum de Rome, M. VEUILLOT is justifying as plainly and clearly as he could possibly justify any act on the part of his friends, the strap ping him comfortably into a straightwaistcoat, and the procuring for him of a nicely-padded room in a salubrious and secluded maison de sante. The publication of language so horrible as that applied by M. VEUILLOT to the Padre PASSAGLIA is no thing less than a flagrant scandal to all Christen dom. It constrains everyone of us here, even in Protestant England, to look for but one sequel to this latest news about M. VEUILLOT, namely, for tidings of his excommunication. Accidents still continues to multiply upon acci dent with a rapidity and a strangeness that really becomes appalling. It looks like a fatality incident to the New Year. " Misfortunes," says SHAKSPERE, " come not singly, but in battalions." The coinci dence that it, only too often, is so, has seldom had so singular or in another sense so plural an illus tration than it has recently. A day or two has scarcely sped by since we took occasion in these columns the other evening to remaik upon the mul tiplicity of horrible accidents as having occurred in the January and February of 1862—and already a variety of fresh casualties have justified those re marks of ours. To the wholesale destruction of 200 miners, men and boys, in the Hartley new coal pit, to the miserable destruction so soon afterwards of the poor lady crushed to death in the machinery of a great iron-foundry hard by, to the wretched mutilation of some thirty chance spectators of a casual " row" in the Waterloo-road, where an iron grating in the pavement suddenly gave way under the unwonted pressure of the crowd of lookers-on —to these incidents others have been added within the last few hours, some of them, in their way quite as remarkable and quite as melancholy. A cluster of new houses at Hackney, while in course of completion, all of a sudden gives way and col lapses into a ruin. A young girl of sixteen falls, in her turn, a victim to crinoline under circumstances unusually painful. Another lady is caught up by her dress in another factory, and her body nearly severed in twain by the whirling machinery before there is the possibility of seeing to her extrication. And so the horrors number up day by day—as though accidents at times multiplied in some mysterious manner, or by a sort of epidemic. The remedies to be adopted with a view to their prevention we have already commented upon—some of them we have distinctly (only a day or two since) enumerated. Some of these remedies become upon every fresh occasion only more and more obviously requisite. Responsible inspectors of hie ways, of houses, of buildings generally, ought to be forced into greater vigilance by being held yet more than ever responsible. Machinery ought to be guarded. And we ought to have an end to this monstrous folly of fashion going by the name of crinoline. Viscount and Viscountess Malden have arrived ai the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. Lord and Lady de Blaquiere have left London for Paris, and will remain abroad for aome weeks. The Rev. W. Harcourt and Mrs. Harcourt and Miss Harcourt have arrived at Farrance's Hotel from their residence, York. THE WATERLOO -ROAD CATASTROPHE.—James Robins, carver and gilder, of Southampton-terrace, Water loo-road, died yesterday morning at St. Thomas's Hospital, after enduring excruciating pain. This death will lead to an inquest, when the cause of the accident will be investi gated. At the annual meeting of the Ottoman Bank next month the directors will recommend a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, and an addi tion of about £7,000 to the reserve fund. Intelligence was received from Newcastle yester day that the Pemberton pit, near Sunderland—the deepest in the kingdom—had been flooded. No lives were lost, but great difficulty was experienced in getting the horses out. The water bas also broken into the Gosforth pit, and during the works rendered necessary a large number of men will be thrown out of employment. It is said that there are only one or two collieries on the north banks of the Tyne that are not flooded. The Prince of Wales arrived at Munich in the evening of the Bth, on his way to the East. His Royal Highness was accompanied by his future brother-in-law, the Prince Louis of Hesse. The two Princes travel in the strictest incognito, and intended to remain two or three days in the Bavarian capital.

Just at this moment we have three sets of prophets, surrounded by appropriate actors, before us. The Washington prophets and their armies and navies; the Richmond and Southern prophets and their armies, and the prophets of New York surrounded by the Priests and Levites of the money and cotton market. i The Washington gentlemen, of course, retain all their confidence in the might of the Union. General M'CLELLAN may not be able to vanquish mud, or think it safe to rely on frost, which may prove such a temporary terra firma ; but let the drying winds of spring begin to blow, and the days to lengthen a little and he is soon to teach the South what the natural superiority of Northerners, when acting under the advan tages of long drill, can do. The panic next time is to be on the other side. Just now things look somewhat brighter ; the victory in Kentucky has just reversed the great Southern idea In that state the South was to have broken the military and naval cordon surrounding it, and to have made a conquering irruption across the Ohio. Instead of that, the North has broken the Southern cordon, and crossing the Cumberland is moving on to Tennessee. Another naval expedition has also just weathered, though with much damage to cargoes, a tremendous storm, and has now probably landed its troops by the River Nuse, in North Carolina, intending to take possession of the small town of Newbern. What it is intended to effect thence does not seem to be clear. Like Beaufort expedition it seems too far south to menace the rear of the Confe derates at Manassas, and it does not seem pos sible unless a force much larger be sent, to think of marching inland, and by union with the army of Kentucky to cut off Virginia from the Confederate States. Still from Missouri to the Chesa peake, along the whole line, and on the sea coast, the North is just now the successfully at tacking party. And it ma y be as they say, that natural impedi ment , are the only ones which they are waiting to see r emoved. Fo r thi s t h ey must of course have patie nce, till Dame Nature takes her usual course. The South, on the other hand, is feeling the least of w t wri t e in n r e. more ve r y t h a d n e s r e o v n e d r n a g n d s tr i t a s j i n o . u r l n t a s s G o at vernmen t is freely accused of incapacity, and of substituting the tyranny of JEFF. DAVIS for the tyranny of ABE LINCOLN. Who would have thought that a Richmond paper dare confess that "the South had made at least eight great blunders. "1. In firing upon Fort Sumter. 2. In believing there would be a divided North and an apathetic Federal government. 3. In believing they would have the hearty sympathy of Europe. 4. In believing that the bonds of their Confederacy would readily be taken in Europe. 5. In believing that the military power of the North would be directed in a crusade against slavery rather than employed for the overthrow of treason, and the establishment of the Union and the constitution. 6. In believing that Northern courage and physique were no match for Southern ; or that in battle one Southerner equalled five Yankees, 7. In believing that the flag of the Cotton Oligarchy would wave above the Capitol at Washington, and the roll of slaves be called on Bunker Hill. 8. In believing that the fancied omnipotence of cotton would domi nate-the commerce of the world." And not only in the Virginian capital, but in the far west of the slave States, from the town of Memphis on the Missisipppi, we hear the same lamentations. The Memphis Argus describes the Southerns as checkmated in Kentucky and para lysed in Missouri. Differing widely enough from Southerns and their friends in England, it says : " The blockade is unbreakable by us yet. In one word, we are hemmed in. Day follows day, and in lieu of being weakened, we find the Federal armies, at all points, being strengthened. Almost every article of manufacturing and domestic necessity is quadrupled in price, and our money will soon be exceedingly scarce for lack of paper wherewith to make it." The Argus, like most of the Southern papers we have seen, throws the blame of their ill success on the inertness of their generals. Three times, it is affirmed, the North might have been invaded and brought to terms—instead of which the armies of the Confederacy are allowed to rot in idleness, while the country is subjected to fabulous prices for every article of manufacture, and peace seems farther off than ever. "We ask why the year has passed, and we further than ever from recognition at home or abroad ? We ask why we are fifty -fold worse off ,than when the war com menced ? Indirectly every mouthful we eat is taxed, our babies wear taxed caps and shoes, our boys write on taxed paper, our girls wear taxed calicoes, our men do a taxed business, and hopelessly ride in a taxed hearse to a taxed grave, and we, forsooth, are hurting ' the cause' if we dare to turn from Messrs. MASON and SLIDELL to look at the country we were born and bred in, and, having looked, we are hurt ing the cause if we dare tell what we see." We might quote much more to the same purport —so plain is it that whatever the North may suffer the South is suffering fifty times more. .Indeed, the North can scarcely be saidto have felt any individual privation yet. Its taxation has been hardly felt, for nearly all the money has been raised by loan, and the most oppressive taxes are those which have been laid to exclude British goods from competition with native manufacture. If we turn, then, to New York, we find ourselves there under the guidance of a very good authority. Distrusting, as we must, the ravings and exaggerations of the press, we look with a little confidence on the busi ness reasonings for business purposes of Messrs. NEILL BROTHERS. They have at least a character to maintain, and their decided business opinion is, that which it has always been, that the struggle will be a protracted one. They think our dealers in cotton and our manufacturers very unwise if they act on any other supposition than that the war will last till both parties are exhausted. Without foreign intervention they , see no end to the struggle. meas measure re the uf t hSeo spirit r , i t i if f i Having illustrat e d th e immense difficulty of con queringt p s s e e n s d s e e s u a b e t: but t u a r n u i o n r g d t i o n a t h r y e North they ask—" Upon the other hand, can it be supposed that such a people as the twenty millions of Northerners will lightly confess themselves beaten by one-third of their numbers, and consent to their magnificent country, the very extent of which has been their greatest source of pride, being reduced so that its breadth at one point will be under a hundred miles ?—allowing their hostile Southern neighbours almost to shake bends with Canada across the very heart of their territory ?—allowing the Mississippi, which is naturally the highway of the Great West as the Irish Channel is that of Lan cashire, to pass into hostile hands ?—allowing an antagonistic, arrogant, and inevitably hostile nation to be established on their borders, with a thousand miles of contiguous territory, along the whole extent of which the irrepressible slavery question and discrepant tariffs, with the constant temptation to smuggling, would be a never-ending cause of warfare, not to speak of the boastful taunts which would have to be endured for generations after their defeat, by a people who have hitherto had all the boasting to themselves." Messrs. NEILL explain the coolness with which the New York press contemplates the financial diffi culties of the Government from its knowledge of the tax-paying capabilities of the country. £40,000,000 per annum, which would make the Government Stocks perfectly secure, would be only lid. a-day for each individual, and that in a country in which a dollar a day are ordinary wages. Besides, Messrs. NEILL contend that, after all, few if any wars of this kind have:ever been stopped by want of money. Thus, with a hopeful though insolvent North, and a desponding, long insolvent South, we have a high authority, and impartial one, pronouncing that the North and the South have years of strife before them. M. VEUILLOT'S friends had surely better look after him. He most certainly has gone clean mad. Not merely daft, observe, or crazy, but raging raving mad. The ex-editor of the Univers, it ap pears, having some time since been compelled to drop his pen as redacteur, has resumed it as homme de lettres. Within the last few weeks he is under stood to have issued from the press a couple of duodecimos, entitled, rather oddly, Parfuna de Rome. And assuredly if this be a specimen of the Parfum, it must be one that will infallibly stink in the nostrils of Europe. Than the outpourings of M. VEUILLOT'S wrath upon his opponents generally, through the medium of these two volumes, we never met with anything more fright ful, in the way of gross and brutal vituperation, than the specimens we have read in the shape of choice quotations. The chief object of this demented writer's scorn and abhorrence appears to be the now very well known Padre PASSAGLIA. Of Father PASSAGLIA the Paris correspondent of our chief contemporary, writing as recently as yester day (in reference to M. VEUILLOT'S objurgations upon him) remarks that he, "as you are aware, has published a work proving that the temporal power is not a dogma of the Church." And--beyond one moment's doubt —sup posing that to be the drift of Father PASSAGLIA'S argument, where can there be any where discover able in all Christendom one sane Catholic who will assert that the learned Jesuit is i error?

The decree fixes the difference (soulte) to be paid at M. 40c. for 41 per Cent. Rentes, and at 4f. 20c. for 4 per Cent. Rentes. The payment of this difference is to be made in six instalments—viz„ in July and October, 1862, and in January, April, July, and October, 1863. Holders of Rentes have the option of paying the difference immediately, in which case they will be allowed a bonus of 4 per cent. Treasury Bonds will only be convertible if fully paid up.

I made in my last letter a passing allusion to the declaration which the Government asserts to have been written and signed by the Canon Bialo brzewski, after his trial by the court-martial, to the effect that he had ordered the churches of War saw to be closed, in order to avoid the profanation of them by the singing of the pz ohibited political hymns. As this declaration was published in the official journal, and the authorities are parading it in other papers, both here and abroad, it is but just to remark that such a declaration on the part of this worthy prelate would be in manifest contradiction with the letter which, on the 16th October last, when enjoying his liberty, and with the advice of the assembled chapters of the diocese, he addressea to Count Lambert, the Gover nor of the kingdom. " The acts of profanation," wrote Canon Bialo brzewski, " committed yesterday in the Cathedral and other churches by the Russian soldiery have filled with horror and indignation the minds of the inhabitants of this city, and of the whole country to whatsoever religious creed they may belong. In view of such facts I cannot remain silent. Placed at the head of the clergy, it is my duty to inform your excellency of the gravity of such a crime, per petrated at the time when people were engaged in singing religious hymns approved by the Church. " The sanctuary of God was surrounded by the troops ; nearly 2,000 persons kept in it during the whole day and night, without nourishment and without any regard to their natural necessities, the church door broken in, and the house of God en tered in the night by the soldiers armed and with their shakos on their heals, striking with the butts of their muskets all those who would not go away, for fear of being arrested immediately. These are the undeniable facts which are a disgrace to the soldiers of a Christian Government, and would make us believe that the days of Attila have returned. "I have, therefore, in conformity with the rules of the Church, thought it necessary to take mea sures which, while restraining from despair this justly indignant and exasperated people, would make it:feel, however, the barbarity of the per petrated acts." And it is after putting this man several times in prison —after condemning him to death—and then transporting him to a Russian fortress, that the Government publishes a document in which the canon throws all the blame of profanation on the people, and calla the hymuz revolutionary. the prelate really made the statement contained in the Government document, why then sentence to death or to confinement in a fortress, so able a defender of the Russian rule; why not recompense him by raising him to the dignity of the Archbishop, in stead of appointing a young priest, who spent all his time in St. Petersburg, and is comparatively a stranger to the so-called kingdom of Poland. The matter is clear—the Russian authorities wanted to create an impression upon the people unfavourable to this patriotic clergyman, but it has miserably failed in the attempt, as no one will be lieve one iota of this fabricated document, The state of siege which was to have been raised at the commencement of this year continues in all its terror. The court-martial is permanently in stalled in the citadel, and the judges being hand somely paid make it their interest to prolong the proceedings, and to increase the number of the victims consigned to their tender mercies. Every one is asking how long is all this to last, and ru mours are afloat that the Emperor Napoleon, who hitherto has remained gilent on the Polish affairs, intends to represent to the Emperor Alexander the necessity of changing the system, if he does not like to follow into the footsteps of his brother monarch the late King of Naples. Though the Poles do not place any reliance on the promises of Princes, yet the marked attentions of which the late Prince Czar toryski was, and now his son Prince Ladislas Czartoryski is the object, on the part of Louis Na poleon, may lead to this supposition. As ever, the Russians endeavour to indispose the peasants against their proprietors, and several mili tary officials betrayed their zeal in that respect, but it is consoling to observe that the peasants invari ably turn a deaf ear to all insinuations, and show confidence and respect for their masters. The mea sure regarding the property to be given to them is still under the deliberation of the Council of State. The son of the Marquis Wielopolski, who was made Chamberlain of the Emperor, has, it is said, by high inspiration, written a long article in the Russian organ, le Nord, published at Brussels, showing that the Emperor would willingly restore to the Kingdom of Poland its rights, constitution, and the national army, as guaranteed by the treaty of Vienna, but the Imperial mind has a doubt whether in the present deter mination of the Poles to see their entire country restored, such a concession would prove acceptable. This is regarded here as a feeler what the Poles would really accept—and the general opinion on this point is, that the Emperor would not object to the restoration of the rights provided the Poles would accept for their Lieu tenant one of the Russian Grand Dukes. In the Russian circles it is loidly talked that the Emperor attached much importance to the English Parliamentary debates on Poland last year, and that to avoid the repetition of them, he is full of promises, which are most readily made, but they may never be performed. THE O_REAI J.SXILIBIIIOIV. Yesterday marked the first great era in the pro gress of the building, when Messrs. Kelk and Lu cas virtually completed their contract by formally giving up possession of the vast structure, and handing it over to the care of the Royal Commis sioners. By the terms of their agreement the contractors were bound to give over the entire building finished at twelve o'clock yesterday; but as the works advanced it was seen that so many alterations were necessary, and such difficulties arose from the unexampled magnitude of the whole undertaking, that it would be strain ing matters almost to harshness to look for a literal fulfilment of the terms of the con tract. Nevertheless, from the very first Messrs. Kelk and Lucas never took this doubtful view of the question, and announced themselves confident and determined that they would do their work within the allotted days. It was a very hard struggle against time, and at one period it seemed more than probable that, in spite of all their skill, energy, and lavish expenditure, the contractors would be beaten. Fortunately, however, they were favoured by the mild weather, and this unlooked-for aid, together with their own untiring personal exertions, at last turned the balance in their favour, and at 12 o'clock yesterday, the day and hour named in their contract nine months ago, they gave over the building vir tually in a finished state. As a matter of course, though the structure is nominally given over, an immense amount of work still remains to be done, but all this is now Well in hand. The whole place is roofed in, the courts in the southern side are floored and painted, and at least one half of the entire edifice is ready now for the reception of goods, and the other half will be floored and ready within a fortnight, if necessary. It is a fact that never has the same amount of solid and most difficult work been done within the same short space of time, and it would be difficult to overpraise either Mr. Kelk or Messrs. Charles and Thomas Lucas for the zeal and. care with which they have worked almost night and day to bring about a result so gratifying to our national reputation for skill and punctuality in these matters. There was no ceremony or public form observed yesterday when the structure was given over. The Royal Commissioners were the Duke of Buckingham, Sir Wentworth Dilke, and Mr. Fairbairn, who, with the three contractors, went round all the building shortly before 12 o'clock, and as the clock struck they accepted its delivery, and in the most condial manner thanked Messrs. Lucas and Kelk for the promptitude and completeness with which they had adhered to the letter of their agreement, and still more for the liberal spirit in which they had met the suggestions of the Commis sioners, and executed a great deal more work in the buiiding than they were bound under their contract to do. As soon as the Royal Commissioners had received the building a detachment of police, under Mr. Dur kin, were stationed in it, with a division of the Fire Brigade, who instantly proceeded to make them selves acquainted with the mains and stand pipes, and to arrange lengths of hose to reach all parts of the interior. With these also came a fine detachment of commissionaires to make themselves generally useful, and a company of Sappers and Miners to assist in unloading, &c. The latter, singularly enough, arrived on the same date and almost at the same hour as the Sappers who were sent in for the same work at the Exhibition of 1851. These now remain in charge of the building for the Royal Com missioners, and from this date goods will be received through the entrance left open for this purpose in the Cromwell-road. No goods, however, are expected for a day or two. Belgium is likely to be the first in the field, and perhaps after her Norway and Russia. and with or after them will come a general delivery of manufactures and works of art from all pario of England and the world. It is said that the French will spend nearly £lOO,OOO sterling on the decora tion and fitting up of their court. The tree which was preserved with such difficulty in the centre of the south side of the English court was yesterday cut down. It wis found impossible to keep it, as it stood in the midst of the space allotted to Sheffield, and the constant watering it would have required in summer ( would have rusted the steel goods around it most in. juriously. On Monday last, before the building was formally delivered over, it underwent a most severe test as to its strength of galleries and stairways, &c. Before the dimensions of the columns, girders, and timber rafters of the building were decided on a pre liminary test was adopted by crowding 80 "navvies" on to a weigh-bridge of 79 feet (superficial) space. This number of very heavy men gave a weight of 1531 b. to the superficial foot—a•weight that, broken up as the floors and galleries will be by counter space, and allowing for the number of women and children in even the densest crowd, could not by any possibility come u p on any one part of the building. When, therefore, the size of the columns and girders was decided on it was deter mined to load them to the extreme strain of 140 lb. to the foot before erecting. At this weight the de flection of the trussed beams was trifling, and on the removal of the load the rods recovered them selves to the fraction of an inch. But not satisfied ii ith this, the still more severe test of the vibration and concussion produced by a body of men march ing was resorted to on Monday last. The testing occupied nearly three hours, and during that time a body of 400 navvies went through all the picture and side galleries and stairways of the building, erot marching, then at a quick march, and then at 4 " the double," stamping hard. The greatest deflec tion of the iron beams under this heavy ordeal was only one-eighth of an inch, and of the iron and wooden tresses of only from three eighths to live eighths. In fact, all the galleries showed a firmness which even those who were acquainted with the heavy test they had previously undergone were not prepared to find. Opinions as to the great strength of the interior were therefore definitely set at rest by all parts of the structure bearing this severe trial without complaint or sign of weukness'of any kind. On Saturday the last centres were removed from under the domes, and they were left to stand alone. Every part of these huge works were found, on examination, to be as rigid as a single bolt. Much of this is of course due to the perfection of work manship with which the Thames Iron Company has turned out all the component parts of each struc ture, but a good deal is also owing to the extreme care which Mr. Hussey and Mr. Ashton have taken respectively in the erection of the eastern and western domes. The western one is already being glazed, and the eastern will progress with equal rapidity, and when the painting is done the removal of the immense scaffolding will at once commence. Mr. Crace has designed a very rich and most effec tive decoration for the dome interiors, the leading colours in which are blue, crimson, and gold, and, as far as can be judged from small designs for a work of such magnitude, we think the effect will be satisfactory. The painting of the 50-feet courts on the south side is finished in all save toning down the rather full red capitals of the co lumns. The body of the column is tinted a pale bronze green, with the vertical moulding re lieved with a yellow stripe. The upper cornice is marked with a bright line of crimson, which shows the dimensions of each court with full effect. As these courts will be filled with goods of the richest and most varied colours, it was absolutely necessary to keep the surrounding columns of as quiet and neutral a tint as possible. The walls of the picture galleries are to be tinted with a very pale neutral colour, but the cooing of the ceiling will be deco rated in panels. The heavy cornice will also be lightened by decorations, and the upper end wall of each gallery painted in festoon gfirlands ani medal lions. It is difficult to judge of what the whole effect will be in such a large interior as these galleries until a great deal of them is done; but Mr. Crace's design seems at least to promise high success. The decoration of the nave is advancing very rapidly. Five of the bays will be finished this week, nine next week, and 12 for each week after wards until both nave and transepts are done. Of course, the painting of the domes will go on simul taneously with the rest of the building. The re freshment departments are advancing as rapidly as all the rest, though in connexion with these a most unsightly effect is produced in the interior of the building by tiers of four or five kitchen windows rising one above another in the wall on the north side of the courts. These give to this portion of the building much the same effect as would be produced by taking in as a boundary four or five oddly built houses. Surely the cooking might be done by gas light, and this hideous eyesore removed ? A 12ft. gallery is to be erected round this side of the building, with properly apportioned entrances to the dining-rooms overlooking the Horticultural Gardens. The western annexe for machinery in motion is at last, we are glad to say, getting into a forward state of readiness, though still by no means on a par with the progress of the rest of the building. Three square sewers, if we may so call them, have been built along its entire length for the steam, waste, and exhaust pipes. These are all constructed of very solid brickwork, and as carefully finished as the noble entrances under the domes themselves. Along the edges of these rows of sunk brick walls a tramway will be laid, on which the heavy machi nery and locomotives will be moved up to their places. Still, apparently there is no preparation made for the most difficult task of all—that of fixing the shafting by which the machinery is to be driven. Fixing the shafts to the light wooden framework of the annexe itself is, of course, out the question, and it is equally certain that there is no proper room for them, with their drums, where the steam pipes are to be laid. Of course, like all the other difficul ties in the structure, these can be got over; but, unfortunately, their consideration has been so long delayed that it seems unlikely that the machinery will be in work by the Ist of May. The annexe in the eastern side is going on very well indeed, and this will be ready as soon as it is wanted. In both these annexes the plan of colouring adopted, now that it is finished, comes out remarkably well. An arrangement has been concluded between the Com missioners and Mr. Robert Hunt, who compiled the Synopsis and Handbook of the Exhibition of 1851, by which that gentleman has undertaken to pro duce two similar works for this display. The Synopsis is to be ready by the Ist of May, and the Handbook before the Ist of June, and both to be sold for 6d. The wet weather during the last few weeks has tested the covering of felt and tar over the flat roofs of the building apparently beyond its endurance. If a fortnight's fine weather could have been depended on it would have been easy to re-tar it all and make it perfectly water-tight. Last week, however, Messrs. Kelk and Lucas determined to risk nothing on this head, and at their own expense covered all the fiats (a superficial extent of nearly 200,000 ft.) with zinc roofing over the felt. Now, therefore, it is truly a waterproof building in the most literal sense of the wore. The extra cost of making it so, however, has been a large sum. DELPHI THEATRE. " Le G amin de Paris," one of the best-known pieces on the French stage, when it was associated with the inimita ble Bouffe, has been newly rendered into English by Mr. Boucicault, with the title of the " Dublin Boy." Several years since, while the original piece was still fresh in the public mind, an earlier version was produced, in which Mrs. Keeley sustained the part assigned to Bouffe, but Mr. Bou cicault has given an entirely new tone to his adaptation of an old story, by a transfer of the scene to the capital of Ireland, and the endowment of the principal character with Irish peculiarities. It may be as well to remind our readers that the boy who is the hero of the tale is the orphan son of a soldier who was killed in battle while saving the life of his general. lie lives with his grandmother and sister), and is so hope lessly idle and mischievous that it is predicted by every one, save his fond grandmother, that he will come to some dis graceful end. His better qualities are, however, called forth by the discovery that his sister has lent too ready an ear to the flatteries of a young gentleman, who visits the house, disguised as an hunablD artist. Without a moment's hesitation he proceeds to the Louse of the seducer's father, an old military officer tor mented by the gout, and obtains matrimonial reparation of his sister's honour, partly by the force of that plebeian eloquence which has long been popular on the stage, partly through the circumstance that the gouty old man is the very general whose life his father preserv e d.

She does not inde e d complete;.; convert herself into a iubberly boy," but s h e d ep i cts the hehtY ,6 l' love of fun, the sensitiveness t o di s h onour, an d th e t t ror .',7 affection which are the attributes of Andy's nature, with a fort::' that does not lose its efficiency through the gracefulness by whiO2 l the part is somewhat idealised. The old General, now called Daly, w i t h hi s b enevo l ence, hi s i rasc ibility, an d his gout, is pl a y e d b y M r. E mery i n hi s b e st style, and stands out highly coloured without caricature. Mr. Stephenson, celebrated as Father Tom in the "Colleen Bawn," displays to advantage his Milesian peculiarities as the butt of Andy, and Mrs. Lewis looks the complete picture of a doating old grandmother. The piece is thoroughly successful. FATAL ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM HANWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM.-Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy coroner for West Middlesex, instituted an inquiry at the Hartwell Lunatic Asylum ye,terday afternoon as to the circumstances that led to the death of Henry Todd, aged 37 years, a book: duster of the British Museum, and an inmate of the asylum. The evidence elicited from several of the attendants and inmates of the asylum went to show that on last Monday morning the deceased, being allowed to go into the open grounds by the attendant in charge, was observed to run acros the fallow ground, obviously for the purpose of escap ing from the asylum. Three of the attendants immediately pursued him, but he outrun them, climbed over the boundary fence, plunged into the river Brent to ford it, and was drowned. After the examination of a large number of - witntsses, as to whether any blame was attached to the officials of the asylum, the jury unanimously returned an open verdict, to the effect that deceased was found dead in the river Brent, and that his death was caused by suffoca tion from drowning, into which he had fallen after escaping from the grounds beloirging to this asylum, of which he was humtic iuwate,
