GOOD FRIDAY AT THE TUILE.RIES.

A religious ceremony took place on Good Friday
in the chapel of the Tuileries. The Emperor, Em-
press 3 and the Court were present, and about 100
strangers were admitted with tickets. Out of reverence
for the solemn character of the day, it was notified on
the card of, admission that all persons assisting at the
service should appear in deep mourning. A few mi-
nutes before the service commenced the Emperor and
Empress entered, hahited in black ; the Empress wore
the costume of her country, with her face half
shaded by the mantilla, her sable dress contrast-
ing strongly with the transparent fairness of her
complexion. Some of the French ladies present,
probably out of compliment to the Empress, also
wore the characteristic head-dress of Spain, and carried
fans of the same dark colour. They were probably
French, or English, for the experienced eye could see at
the first glance, in spite of the Spanish costume, that the
movement of the fan, which no hand or wzist can manage
except a thorough-bred Spanish one, was a decided fail- ,7„-,
ure, notwithstanding its rapidity and energy. The man- "
tilla, too, though in some cases richer and more flowing
than that of the 'Empress, evidently did not cover a 173
Spanish head, nor shade a Spanish eye. The celebrated 20
preacher, Father Ravignan, delivered a discourse on the 20
Passion, which was listened to with the profoundest at- 20
tention. The sor:amn dirge of the Roman Catholic ritual, 20
suited to the occasion, was well executed. Except at 20
the sermons the Emperor and Empress remained kneel- 100
ing during. the service, which lasted about an hour.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

BAGENALSTOWN AND WEXFORD.

The report of the directors stated that they have been 100
enabled to conclude satisfactory arrangements with some 20
of the principal proprietors for possession of the land 5
required for the commencement of the works, and which
land they have placed at the disposal of, the contractor. 15
The vrorks in the neighbourhood of Borris, being the 5
heaviest on the line, have been commenced, and the 20
directors trust that the works will be carried one steadily
during the approaching summer. The report of the 4
engineer stated that the contractor had already executed 20
2,200 lineal yards of fencing, 4,100 cubic yards of exca- 100
vation, and that the bridge over the public road from
Borris to Feenagh was nearly finished. Tile capital 100
account showed that 22,0251. had been received to the 100
31st of December, and 8,2137. expended, leaving a 100
balance of 13,8121,
