The heir of the throw at England is now of

age to Note sad sissientaad these phew:mime. It

he lay to heart the great lesson taught by the whole

sew err the tree minces of the only power that a

Tut Crystal Palace revives with the return of
Spring, like the &Min and trees. We have watched
ite winter sleep, sot altogether without fears. It

was not, indeed, to be I
M so numerous daring

this reflection was

We knew

fickle in its tastes ;

burst of enthusiasm

cooled. We recalled

Ranelagh, the place
pointed oat. We remembered glories o,
ball, aid thought of its decaying, half-leaved trees,
hatasied with soot-wreaths. And we called up the
imago of the Colosseum, with the Balelaths-
libs of its exterior. May not, we
embed immelves, the popularity of the Crystal Palace,
as of ewe, be bat for a semen ? And though we
swipbei the necessity of lees frequent visits to it
by balmy-makers during winter, we reflected upon
the deficit that this interval of suspended animation
might occasion in its aggregate receipts. The reflec-
tion was a depressing one, for not one word of what
we have maid at any time of the importance of the
Crystal Palace se a civilising element are we pre-
pared to unsay ; and its infinenos we hold to be de-
pendent on its being self-supporting. Built by the
people, it must be maintained by the people,
or it ceases to be at once • proof of the
advance of the popular mind, and • means
of accelerating that advance. This is no
exaggeration, am every one most be conscious who
has witnessed the spirit of self-control and respectful

admiration with which the motley crowds of ;Mita*
enjoy themselves in that feteque temple of art. It is
with sincere pleasure, therefore, that we feel our
hopes and wishes for the future of the Crystal Palace
revive on the perusal of the interesting Programme
of its manages for the season 1857.8. Music
promises to be a predominant attraction. The
Royal Italian Opera concerts, which com-
mence appropriately on May-day, are to be
followed up in Jew by the cologne Cho-
ral Union t and the crowning Play in this
department of at will be the great Handel Festival.
This feetiealaill be en an unprecedented wale as
regards performers and nutriments, and the scene
of the pectination will be truly unique. Succeed
ar fail, it will be a magnificent experiment. The
other attractions of the Palace and Grounds remain

usabeted—Use ciollalions of pictorial and plastic
art; the magnificent displays of vegetation ; the faci-
lities =lorded by the reading room ; the grounds and
foantaiMi ; the lovely landscape on all aides; above
all, the glories of the structure itself. Englishmen
pride themselves upon their national character for
persistence : will they justify their claim to it by
occtinuing to cultivate the high and refined enjoy-
ment that le to be found in this unparalleled place of
public road

The committee appointed to consider the proposed
alterations in ths constitution of the Bank of Fiance
has been sitting every day for a week past. I under-
stand that they have approved the augmentation of
the capital of the bank from 91,000,000 fr. to
200,000,000 fr. Moreover, the bank (supposing the
scheme now so far advanced to be ultimately
adopted) will bo authorised to issue notes to the
amount of one milliard, and the government will be
authorised to borrow from the bank to the extent of
100,000,000 fr., paying 1 per cent. leas than the dis-
count charged to ordinary cutomers• The new
regulations are not intended to come into force till
Jan. 1, 1856.
The Bourse opened rather briskly, but several
sales in the course of the day cooled the ardour of
speculators. The Rente eland rather heavily at

Manilla Bandon, the Governor of Algeria, has
left Paris for his post. He will embark at Mar-
seilles on the 20th. The military operations de-
cided upon at the recent council of war at the
Tuileries will be commenced next month. The ex-
peditionary force to be commanded by the Marshal
will consist of three divisions of infantry, under
Generals Renault, MacMahon, and Yousouf (a
native of Algeria).

M. Fould, Minister of State, has left Paris for

It is posible that the Neufchatel Conference may

The rumour that the Empress Dowager of Rustle
will one. to France this year continues to gain
credit. It is added that she will pass some time in
the Pyrenees to take the waters.
The court-martial appointed to try the officers
accused of violating a butcher's wife in their bar-
racks will open to-morrow. U. Chaix d'Est-Ange
is retained to defend the prisoners. The trial is
expected to loot at least three days.
Several of the pupils lately dismimed from the

ultimately maintained will extend to but very few.
The Pays says that Persia proposes to submit to

Isambni, a judge of the Court of Cenation,
who, a quarter of a century ago was one of the most
eminent consulting eosins,' at the French bar, and
whose opinions on many matting of high political
interest, in the time of the restoration, are now
historical, died . yesterday, and will be buried to-
morrow.

I am assured that at the recent review the
Emperor asked the Russian general, Totleben,
whether if the French and English armies had
pushed into Sebastopol immediately after the battle
of the Alma, they would have taken the place, and
that the penal answered, " Beyond all doubt, for
the lertilistiver were not made till afterwards."
There have been some troubles at Nantes, on ac-
count of the disparity between the rate of wages
and the oeoweariee of life, the result of which has
been the signing of an agreement by many of the
principal employers not to pay less to women than
73 centimes per day and their food. This appears
to be an unusually successful result of a strike.

In the Paris corn market during the past week
