The protestant church in the Rue St. Antoine,
Paris, has just been completely repaired and decorated, and
workmen are now engaged in repairing the dome. This
edifice was formerly the chapel of the Convent of the Nuns
of the Visitation, and was built by Mansard, in imitation
oldie Church of Our Lady of the Rotunda at Rome. It
I was completed in 1634, and dedicated to Our Lady of the
Angels. Fonquel, who died in 1636, was buried in the
save. In the great Revolution, the Convent of the Virita-
tion was suppressed, and at a later period the chapel was
made over to the protestant community.

THE INDIAN RELIEF FUND.—MEryneo ix PARIS.
—A meeting was held on Monday at the British Embassy.
Paris, for the purpose of raising subscriptions in addition to
the fund in England for the relief of sufferers from the
famine in India. Lord Cowley took the chair, supported
by Lord Gray, of Gray, and LOrd Clyde. He stated that
be bad taken the liberty of inviting English residents in
Paris to attend in compliance with a request which be
had received from the Lord Mayor of London. After
reading the letter referring to facts with which the
English public is already familiar, Lord Cowley made
an appeal to the charity of the persons present on the
ground that the smallest donation might be the means of
saving a fellow-creature and a fellow.subject from starves
Soc. He did not think it advisable to move formal moo-
lutioes, and be suggested proceeding to open a eubscriptiott
list immediately. He had written to the British con-
suls in France, and the replies received up to the
present time were satisfactory, and he read •
letter from the Duke of Hamilton, who was nece•
able to attend, but who sent 50f. as his subscription.
Lord Clyde, who looked remarkably well, addreaal
the meeting, and dwelt particularly upon the good service
ladies could render if they would take up the matter sto
riously and heartily. He referred to a letter which he had
just received from Lady Canning, alluding to the gnat
efforts made at Calcutta to procure grain and stud it up the
country to the North-Western Provinces. The rains du not
come Before June, and the harvest is reaped in October, so
that till then the inhabitants of the famine districts will
have to depend upon charity from abroad to supply them
with the means of preserving life. The lotion govern-
ment were energetically at work, and were sendieg for
grain everywhere. Speaking from personal knowledge.
Lord Clyde said the happiest effects would iv' produced •7
the display of English charity toward, those who were so
recently in arms against us and rebels to our authority. B
would lead to a wiry different feeling amoug the natives
from that which had hitherto existed. A list of suterrip•
Cons was reed, among which was Lord Cowley's for WI.
and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to
Lord Cowley and MM. Galignani.
Mn. Hato.—Mr. Haig, who, it will lie in the
recollection of oar readers, contested the reprtecntation of
