MAUNDY THURSDAY. --
Thursday, the distribution of her Majesty's alms will take
place at the Royal Chapel of Whitehall, with all the usual
state ceremony. The procession will proceed from her
Majesty's Ahnonry Office in Whitehall-yard, at three o'clock,
to the Royal Chapel, where it will be met by the clergy in
their robes, and will proceed down the Chapel to their re-
spective stations, when Divine service will be performed,
during which the distribution of the Maunday takes place.
It is not unlikely that her ..i3Oesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert will graciously honour the ceremony with their
royal presence, as the monarchs used to do iu days gone by
(.specially Queen Elizabeth), and as her Majesty now does
at Windsor, at the royal distribution at Christmas.

A DELPHI TIIEATRE.—Mr. C. 11. Adams, according'
annual cu<oin, has taken possession of this theatre for
the few days preceding Easter, and is now nightly giving
his popular lecture on astronomy, ai,ied by a series of in-
geni.ais scenery, well calculated to illustrate the phennmena
of the heavens, and develop the governing laws. Mr. Adams
delivers his lecture wii h plainness and simplicity—in a form
the nest suited to the understandinp of young p•ople. who,
in the course of the two hours they are in his c mpany,
become possessed of a vast number of interesting facts,
represented with a practical distinctness that ensures the
permanent retention on the memory. On the discovery of
the new pliviet he dwidls with the natural enthusiasm of the
astronomer, enlarging eloquently on the recognition of this
important appendage to our system, which, although ono
thousand times as large as the earth, has in all probability
teen travelling in the realms of space since the creation, our
unseen and constant companion. While touching upon the
phenomena of eclipses, Mr. Adams refers especially to the
annular eclipse of the sun, which will occur in the course of
October next. Between the parts a Mr Johnson con-
tributes some pleasing performances on the musical glasses.
TuE FAST-DAY.—BOULOGNE.—We learn from a
correspondent that the su n of 801. was collected at the
English Chapel at Boulogne, on the Fast-day, for the relief
