CRYSTAL PALACE.

The celebration of the Shakespeare Tercentenary
oa Saturday last at the Crystal Palace pared off with great
soccer ; the principal object of attraction was
unquestioembly the admirable facsimilv, produced
by Mr. E. T. Parris, of Shakespeare's house at Strut.

Saturday, and therefore it is uneeoessary to reproduce the
deseriptice her,. It is sufficient to as, that it brings
vividly and actually before such of the waiters of the palace
aa have not the opportunity of seeing the mistrial building
at Stratford an exact representation of the poet's birth-
plea*, and certainly suable' them to obtain as correct a*
impression of it as if they had visited the °cities!.
Another great feature of the occasion was the forma-
tion of a /3hakespesis Court, which was ao crowded
during the day that there was seareoly room to
move in it. This court is in the vestibule between the
Renaissance and the Italian Courts. The vestibule barn
from the first ocetained the bust of the poet, from the
monument in the choreal al Stratford Church(' post of honour
in strange and mospicsons contrast with the humble room in
which the post first saw light), and the tomb of that Virgin-
Queen wham be so happily celebrated. At the foot of the
bust are orals of the Macriptioas es the grave-stones of

SHAKESPEARE IN FRANCE.

Our Paris correspondent, writing ou Saturday
evening, says :—" All doubts (and up to the last
moment there were many) about the fate of the
English Shakespeare banquet II:19 set at rest by the
following letter, addressed to Galiptani, by Lord
Gray of Gray :" _ .

Paris, April 22.

I regnant you to state that the paragniph in your paper
this morning relative to the Shakespeare commemoration
dinner hes been furnished to you under error.

It was slated to the committee that the prefect of police
bad informed Earl Cowley that there could be no objection
to a dinner of English gentlemen for purely literary par.
poses, and that on an application from myself the necessary
authorisation would be accorded. The oomohtree, however,
decided that the arrangements baring been already given
up, time and circumstances prevented further steps being
taken.—l remain, GRAY, President.

The Hall wan by no means packed with so large a crowd u
might be anticipated from the quality wed variety of the
entertainment and the moderate price of admission, but stilt
the audience was unateroos and enthusiastic. The Hall
was hung with crimson banner', on which were inscribed
the titles of Shakespeare's plays. Very conspicuous and
very well frequented were the representations of the
famous old taverns, the " Boar's Head" and the "Tabard
Inn" on each side of the hall; sod although the
character of the commemoration did not go so far as to
extend to a supply of the Shakespearian wines, frialmuy,
Canary, or sack, there was a demand for " th►t iocom.
parable drink, bitter hut," which was quite worthy of
the old hostelries. Sentences called from Shakespeare's
works were displayed along the galleries. The Programme
of the seeping war divided into two parts, and consisted
almost entirely of the music of Stephens, Arne, &shop,
Locke, kn., married to Shakespeare's immortal TOM.

and thus realise a project on which the Empress
had long set her heart. They are wanting to her
collection of royal guests.
It is stated by the Cuurrierde f Algtrie as a good

unpronounceable names have volunteered to march
against the insurgents. In particular an old Agha,

THE ANNUITY OF THE KING OF GREECE.

Coos the motion of Sir R. Pam. that the bows should
resolve itself into committee°, supply.
Mr. AYRTON roe/ to move, that the grant to the King
of GT00430 of en annuity of 4,0001. out of monies belonging to
the Consolidated Farad, by treaty not made subject to the
sanciioo of parliament, was • violation of the privileges of
the Hones of Commove.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be
wished to remind the boo. member that the go-
vernment were sot responsible, so far as he was aware
to see that the King of Greece got the mosey. AU the;
were bound to do by the terms of the convention was to sur-
render so much of our claim upon Greece as wits represented
by that sum. There was no engagement to pay money
under any contingency out of the revenues of this
country. Os question remained, namely. whether
it would be possible to introduce any improve-
ment into the practice in esees of this description.
If it were the opinion of parliament that it would be better
to iotroduce the contingencies for the approval of parlia-
ment into engagements of this kind, be was not prepared to
say that that was not a matter well deserving of considera-
tion. That, however, WAS not the question before the
bones at present. He trusted his hoe. friend would be
contented with this explanation, and withdraw his motion.
The motion was then withdrawn.
THE STATE OF THE LAW COURTS.

Mr. M. SMITH directed attention to the buildings and
sheds used for the superior courts of law and equity, and
the inadequate acoommodation afforded by them for the
judges, the bar, the jurors, and witnesses, and complained
of the delay of the government to iutroduoe their promised
measures for providiog new courts of justice.
After some observations from Mr. MALINS and Mr. A.
MILLS of a similar purport,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that difficulties had
been interposed which, much against the will of the Lord
Chancellor and the government, had been the cession of
delay ; brit it was intended sbortly to introduce • measure
on the subject, which he was got without hopes parliament
might be induced to agree to even in the present .swine.

THE ACCIDENT AT EGHIJA.

Sir R. BULKELEY asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether his attention had been drawn to the evi-
dence given at the inquest co the sufferers by the late rail-
way accident at Egharn by Mr. Robert Archibald Scott,
traffic manager of the South Weston Railway. in which be
said—" Ordinarily, I should think, there would not be the
slightest danger io starting them (the trains) at an interval
of five minutes, allowing the first train to make a first stop-
page at a distance of eight miles. It is quite an ordinary
working of the trains. Some lines allow only
three minutes." Also to the evidence of Thomas
Gibbard, office porter at Egham, whose duty
was to note the arrival and departure of the trains, and who
states "that the royal train (containing their Royal High-
IMMO the Prince turd Prisons of Wales) pared through
Egham in the morning at 12.51, and that Lee passed through
at 12.47 ;.' whether the President of the Boardof Trade would
inform the house on what Hoes trains were started at iotervals
of three minutes only ; whether starting trains on the same
hoe at intervals of three minutes was dolma with the know•
ledge and sanction of the Board of Trade ; and whether be
considered the safety of their royal highnesses was suffi-
ciently protected in allowing • heavy passenger train to
precede them by four minutes only.
Mr. Y. GIBSON said the Board of Trade had no legal
authority whatsoever with reference to traffic regulations
on railways, and therefore it could not be said that any ago-
' lathing which might have been enforced had received their
auction. Nevertheless, the inspectors of railways occa-
sionally gave them information. and the board wrote letters
to the different railway companies, directing their attention
to the points raised with regard to existing regulations. He
had made inquiries of Colonel Yollasd, who said it was
quite exceptional on railways to allow trains to be started at
so short an interval after oar another as three minutes, and
that the ordinary practice was to allow five minute', but that
the question of time was note° material, provided proper pre-
cautions were taken. As to the safety of the royal train, it was
proceeding under circumstances differ rat from those of the
trains which came into collision. The royal train and the
one which followed it, as well as that which preceded it, in-
stead of "topping at stations ran through continuously, sod,
therefore, though there was only an interval of four or five
minutes, it was not inconsistent with safety.
