GOOD FRIDAY AT THE TUILERIES.

A religious ceremony took place on Good Friday
in the chapel of the Tuileries. The Emperor, Ern-
press, 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
Empre§s entered, habited 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
,occone..,tbc characteristic head-dress of Spain, and carried
fkul .suf,,tlle same dark colour. They wore probably
• Flepeh, 4iir 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 mist can manage,
except *thorough-bred Spanish one, was a decided fail-
tire; notwithstanding its rapidity and energy. The man-
thouill in some cases richer and more 'flowing
than ,that of the Empress, evidently did not cover a. 17.
Spani-sh 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 solemn dirge of the Roman, Catholic ritual, 20
suited to the occasion, was well executed. Except at. ,20
the sermon, the Emperor and Empress, remained kneel- 100
ing during the service, which lasted about an hour. • ,„,

The works in the' neighbourhood Of Borrts, being't)ie '5

directors trust that the works will be cartied on 'steadily. •
during the approaching summer. The report of the
engineer stwed that the contractor Mid 4-Iready eXecuied.
2,200 lineal yards'of fencing, 4,100 Cnbic yards 'of exc:a- 106
vation, and that the bridge over the putlid 'road froM
Burris to Feenagh was nearly finished. The capital ma

LIMERICK AND FOYNES.
The report of ' the directors of this company states
that, in order that no delay should arise in opening a
portion of the line for traffic as soon as possible, they
have contracted for the erection of stations at Patrick's-
Adare, and Rathkeale. They hope to be able to
open a portion of the line in the course of the approach-
ing summer. The directors have. found it necessary to
make a third call cf 21. 103. per, share, payable next
month, which will make it 12 months since the pre-
ceding call was made. By an amendment of the borrowing
20
powers of the company in the present session they expect
16
to be enabled to complete the whole line without much 20
pressure on the shareholders. The report of Mr. La Fantle
the engineerstated that the contractor's operations extend
now over 14i miles of the line, and the portion from
Limerick to Adare is in a very forward state, about eight
miles of it having been brought to formation level, and
21 miles partially ballasted. Agreements have been
made for 23 miles of the land; the contractor is in pos-
session of 18 miles, and three miles only remain to be
settled for. The contractor will commence laying the
permanent way in about five weeks. The works have
been well and substantially executed.
