A Turin letter of Saturday says :—" M. Lessepa
was here yesterday. He tells all whom it may concern that
the great work of the Suez Canal is proceeding with great
activity, notwithstanding the obstacles and difficulties
thrown in its way. Within eight months he assures us he
will be able to float a boat on the blended waters of the
Red and Mediterranean seas from mid to end, and in six
yeses the canal will have depth enough for large steamers,
and even for the Great Eastern itself. What ground there
may be for these bright anticipations I know not, but it is
certain that any man expressing misgiving as to the final
results of H. Lesseps' enterprise is looked upon as little
better than a heretic in this country. The Italians consider
themselves too strongly interested in the success of the
Suez Canal scheme to allow any abatement in their enthu-
siastic confidence."

THE OPENING OP THE MIDDLE TEMPLE
LIBRARY TO-MORROW.

The usually silent courts of the Middle Temple
are quite alive just now with the hum of preparation for
the ceremonial which is to take place to-morrow. The
benchers are sparing neither trouble nor expense to do
twofer honour to the occasion, and to accommodate all who
have claims to be present. The demand for tickets has been
much greater than was anticipated, for members of the
society are coming up from all parte of the country, and as
the hall, spacious as are its proportions, would not contain
a third of the expected company, the whole area of Faun.
tam -court has been included in a handsome pavilion, which
ought to accommodate pretty nearly 500 guests. In tho
small garden round the fountain :treacles of evergreens and
other floral decorations have been raised, and when illu.
minted by the lime light it will no doubt be a much (re.
quented promenade at the evening conrergazionc. New
arrangementa have been made, too, for lighting the interior
of the hall, which will show off the fine oak ceiling
and panelling to the greatest advantage. The library
is pretty nearly finished; the workmen are just giving
the last touches to the staircase and the heraldic
designs outside ; while inside the books are in their places,
and all is ready for opening. Accenting to the published
programme, when the Prince at elves at 2 o'clock he will be
fist conducted to the parliament chamber, which occupies
the site of the old library, where he will be called to the
bar and elected a bencher, and hence the benchers, with
their illustrious brother, will go in procession to the library,
and open it in due form. The terrace from the hall to the
library has been covered in with an awning, which seems au
unnecessary precaution, particularly as it will rob many
people of the only chance they would have of catching a
glimpse of his royal highness from the windows of the
chambers of Garden-court. The distance is short, and
the side space limited, so that • very small propor-
tion of the company will be able to get places along
the line, and the awning will cut off all view from above.
In the library an address will be presented to the Prince,
after which there will be • short service in the Temple
Church, fur which a special form of prayer hat been drawn
up by the Master. The dijatner in the hall and pavilion
follows, and at 6 o'clock there will be a conrersa:tone in the
new library. A guard of honour of 80 rank and file of the
Inns of Court Volunteers, under the command of Captain
Lyslie and Lieutenant Babington, will be on duty to receive
his royal highness.
