THE ORPHEONISTES AT THE CRYSTAL

lieel.

The second concert of the Orphionistee took place
at the Crystal Palace esterday, end bad the effect of at-
tracting a full and fas ble audience. The weather held
up wonderfully, and the interior of the Palace presented in
consequence quite a gay and brilliant appearanoe. Judging
from the physiognomies and aconite of a peat number of
the company, we should my that the Orphbonietes having
come to England to sing, a nearly equal number of their
countrymen and women have also crossed the Channel to hear
them, and to witness their reception. In a peat many
places French was the language of the Pawn, and the
toilettes of the ladies had many of them an unmistakeable
air of Paris elegance. The choristers seemed quite at
home, and to know their way about everywhere.
The concert was similar to that of Monday; indeed the
following programme will show that the principal pieces
given on that day were repeated.

Judging from the expreedens d wllefeetion yesterday,
and that every person win want away pinned would tell
his friends of his piewern, we entielpfle en tnnwese gather-
ing for Thursday, whin the lag eoneset is to be given.
Today is to be devoted to ilassiatai, sad the Orpheonion
will place themselves unreservedly in the hands of the
Welcome Committee. Good previous arrangement may
have done a great deal, but It will be, we apprehend, a
harder day's work for the Orpheoniste than singing their
popular music to " do" London during the next 12 boors.
It is not decided yet when the Chowt du Depart is to be
sung in real farewell. but it is to be hoped not until oar
friends have received some marked and substantial proof of
the island hospitality.

Tea Horse or Loans.—At a meeting of the
Executive of the Constitutional Defence Committee, held
yesterday. W. Hargreaves, Esq., in the chair, it was re-
solved—" That this committee having raison to fear that
the selection of precedents which has been laid before the
parliamentary committee on taxing bills does not exhibit •
fair and complete view of the privileges of the House el
Ceszages, y040)10434 rearm, in the event of
their anticipations being realised, to appoint a cub-com-
mittee for the purpose of searching all the requisite docu-
ments, and making known to the people those law. of
public liberty which the accomplices in the usurpation
committed by the House of Lords are anxious to conosal.
And the friends and students of constitutional law
throughout the country are hereby earnestly invited to
co-operate in this great work."

Tab LATE PSINCE JEROME. —The Moniteur of
yesterday say■ "By the death of his Imperial Highness
Prince Jerome Napoleon, France loses • prince whose
memory will be permanently associated with the greatest
eremite of en heroic epoch. Providence has granted that the
last brother of the Emperor Napoleon I. should not die with-
out witnessing the re-establishment of the glorious dynasty
which be so faithfully served. The nation will share in the
grief which has just fallen on the Imperial family."

It is remarked by the French papers that a con-
siderable number of the persons who sent animals and
agricultural implemsets to As recent exhibition in the
Champs Erika were of high rank. Among them were the
Princess Bacciochl, the Prince de Wagrarn, the Dukes de
Fits.famee, de Millie, de Narbonne, and de Papier., 14
marquises, upwards of 30 counts, Ac.

The French government in endeavouring, by
every moat., to urge the recognition of illegitimate children
by their parents. By a recent decree it is ordained that
the mother of two illegitimate or irregular sons, who has
had the misfortune, or, in this case, tether the happiness,
to lose the eldest while serving in the army, may claim
exemption from military service for the second, provided
she has taken the precaution of legalising her recognition
of both. A proof of the good street of the measure is the
increase in the number of recognitions which has taken
place at the different Mairies since the decree has been
made known. In t►e provincial towns this circumstance
' bee been even more remarkable.
