ggiC../n pergrAzice to Lord Ashley's question in
the Haar of Ociunsis 6d Thtii-,Al_ evrATL and to Sir
pewp Lewis's reply, that the Sorrel Me Voilintters
had dean drilling in the neighbourhood on the day on
which a dog was shot on Waworth-oommon by &person
in the uniform of the Surrey Ride Volunteers, I will thank
you to let it appear in your journal that the 4th Surrey
or Brixton and Streatham Ride Volunteers, under my cont.
men were not out for drill on the 20th instant, either at
Wandsworth or elmewhere, and therefore could be in no
way implicated in the outrage in question.-1 an., Ao.'

PEINCIENIN Thum—Mr. Adams, who has for
more than a generation lectured in London on astronomy
dining Passion Week, is now exhibiting his famous orrery
at the Princess's Theatre. Thousands of minds have been
Int opened to the sublimeat of sciences by the teachings of
Ifr. Adams, aided by the demonstrations of his beautiful
mechanism, and we hope it is maenad for bin' to delight
sad instract thoassads more.

CITIPTAL PALACE—Good Friday in usnally one
of the great days of the MIMI. Lest year, 37,7 W persona
visited Ilydenhani on that day; in former years the numbers
were very great. For to-morrow, provision has been made
at the Palace for an unusually large assemblage, on account
of Mdlle Piccolomini (who la so soon to retire from public
life) singing with Madame Rudendord, Mr. Patey, Ito in
a concert of sacred music, at three o'clock. Mr. T. Harper
will accompany some of the wogs. The band of the com-
pany will be strengthened by the addition of the band of
the Coldstream Guards, and the programme contains, among
other pieces, the Old Hundredth Psalm, the Evening Hymn,
and Owl save the Queen, to be sung in chorus by the ea-
ientbleal thousands. The doors of the Palace will be opened
at the early hour of eine o'clock, extra railway trains run-
ning from London-bridge and Pimlico ea often as required.
These visitors, however, who avail themselves of early
transit will no doubt profit by their forethought.
