SlR,—Will you allow me to announce that her Majesty
the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort
have graciously signified their intention to head the list of
patrons of the grand performance cf the " Messiah" at
Exeter Hall, on Wednesday next, in aid of the funds for
the Coventry 'Weavers by the National Choral Society.

The chorus will number bOO members of the above
Society, and the band will consist of the most eminent
members of the Philharmonic and Opera orchestras. May
I add that the ladies of the choir have all agreed to wear
Coventry ribbons, and venture to hope that the lady visi-
tors will follow the example.—Your obedt. servant,
GEO. W. MARTIN.

THE TAY SALMON FISHING.—The fishing season
commenced on Friday, but owing to the Tay being mach
swollen by the heavy rain which fell in the Highlands on
Wednesday and Thursday, the takes on the stations gene-
rally were small. On the stations above Perth Bridge 18
fine salmon were caught at the Linn of Campsie ; two clean
fish and one foul at the North Inch, and one at Thumie.
At Inchyra, the Town of Vflll4's 4s4inrcg, Ave salmon were
captured, and at the Stock, Ulm •On Friday the river
fell considerably.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The doors of the House of Lords opened about
twelve o'clock, and in a few minutes after the
Peeresses, their daughters, and other privileged
ladies began to arrive in quick succession. The
appearance of the splendid apartment on State
occasions is magnificent in the extreme ; in no
eoun.try in the world can a similar scene be pre-
sented. The Peeresses on their arrival take
their accustomed places on the benches de•
Toted on usual occasions to the members
of the house, and their splendid dresses
relieve with great effect the massive grandeur of
the building.
In a few minutes after her Majesty arrived, the
members of the House of Commons, in obedience
to the Royal command, made their appearance at
the bar, headed by the Speaker, and her Majesty
then read the Royal Speech, which will be found
another part of The Sun.

HOUSE. OF COMMONS.—(nus DAY.)
The Lower House met formally at half-past one
o'clock, but for more than half an hour previously
the members had begun to assemble.
At half-past one the Speaker entered the house.
There were then some 200 members present, who
were about equally divided on both sides of the
obamber. A few minutes after two o'clock the
leaders of the house entered and took their seats
among their colleagues. Shortly after there was
a cry of " Black Rod," and the yeoman usher
immediately afterwards appeared at the bar.
Advancing towards the table, with the customary
obeisances, he said—" Mr. Speaker,—The Queen
commands this honourable house to attend her
Majesty immediately in the House of Peers."
SPEAKER, preceded by the Sergeant-at-Arms
beeaing the mace, thereupon immediately pro-
ceeded to the House of Lords, followed first by the
Premier, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the
rest of the members of the Government present.
On the return of the SPEAKER, after an interval
of about ten minutes, the sitting was suspended
until a quarter to four o'clock.

THE OTGANTIC SKELETON.

I resolved to visit Sidy Daoud, the ancient Misua, to verify
a current report of the existence of tombs of giants in that
locality. Only a few days previous a Greek, named Andrea
Cateconi, stated to me in the presence of Dr. Merritt, the
American Consul, that he had opened onl) of these tombs,
and found in it a skeleton which measured 12 feet in length.
It was one of the most awful sights, he said, he ever beheld.
The diameter of the head must have been nearly two feet,
and the teeth were at least an inch in length. He recom-
mended me to a certain Rais Machloof, who he asserted
aided him in opening the tomb, and knew where similar
ones were to be found. The reader may smile at my cre-
dulity; but, without appealing to the authority of the sacred
writers, let me remind him that antiquity authorises such
a belief. Plutarch, in his Life of Sertorius, states thatwhen
that general took the town of Tingis, he broke open the
sepulclite of Antanis, a giant of Phomician origin, and
adds—" But hew great was his surprise when he beheld a
body 60 cubits long." He immediately offered sacrifices,
and closed up the tomb, which added greatly to the respect
and reputation it had before. Antiquity does not only
favour such a belief, but there are ancient remains which
appear to corroborate it. We have in the island of Sardinia
the "Sepolturs de is Gigantes," varying from 15 to 36 feet
in length, from three to six in width, and the same in
depth, with immense flat stones resting on them as a cover-
ing. My friend the archaeologist Canon Spano is at this
time occupied in making researches amnig these gigantic
tombs, and I doubt not but we shall, ere long, have the
result of his exertions in his learned periodical, " The
Bulletin aircheologieo Sardo."

EXETER HALL,

A grand performance of the " Messiah" will be given by
the National Choral Society, to-morrow evening in this
hall, for the laudable purpose of assisting the funds for the
relief of the Coventry Weavers. The principal singers
will be Madame Lemmens Sherrington, Mrs. Lockey, Mr.
George Perrea, and Mr. Thomas. The two ladies have
frequently distinguished themselves in their respective parts,
and Mr. Thomas is well known as a favourite bass singer.
We may, therefore, hope that justice will be rendered to
the beautiful solos which are allotted to each of the four
voices in Handel's masterpiece. The magnificent choruses
will be given by five hundred voices, and the band will
consist of the principal members of the Philharmonic and
Opera orchestras. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort
head the list of patrons, which includes the names of many
of the leading nobility and the heads of some eminent com-
mercial firms. Under such auspices, and with such attrac-

tions, we can scarcely doubt that the hall will be crowded,
and that the public will readily respond to so just an appeal
to their sympathies.

UNFORESEEN DIFFICULTIES.

Each side of the mosaic was ornamented by two trees
(perhaps the lotus or silphium) placed in a vase, the top
of which met in a circular ornament. To the right wo
found the lower tree perfect, as well as the ornament; of
the upper tree, a portion of the top alone was left. A piece
about three feet square, vas marked out, through which
they sawed to a depth cf about two feet. They then
cleared the earth beneath the cement, supporting the top
with stones, to prevent it from breaking down. Two days
were employed in this operation, and late in the evening
of the second day the piece was ready for removal. The
requisite force of Arabs was immediately called, every
step was taken in the preparatory arrangements. The
command to 'lift' was given, but was no sooner obeyed
than the whole crumbled to pieces.

ON THE RELIGION OF THE CARTHAGENIA.NB. '

The knowledge we possess of their idols does not tend
to raise the Phoenician art of sculpture very high if we
compare these with those of Greece and Rome ; but then
the rude and uncouth specimens which have survived
the demolition of their hostile successors, and the devastat-
ing effects of time, are merely specimens which corroborate
that there was a design and an intention to give them those
forms and those shapes. They are far from betraying their
ignorance of sculpture, and this is amply proved by kin-
dred arts, in which they have not only equalled but sur-
passed contemporary civilised nations. The Divine Legis-
lator's prohibition ' Thou shalt not make unto thyself any
graven image„ &c., had evidently reached them, and an
evasive complance seems to have been the result. Mel,

'OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)
if The opening of Parliament by her Majesty in
person, even in ordinary times, is an event of im-
! portance, but when it takes place under circum-
' stances like those of the present time, it derives a
vast additional interest, not only throughout the
United Kingdom, but over the whole Continent.
Shortly after 12 o'clock crowds of persons began
to assemble in St. James's Park, and, despite a cold
biting wind, proceeded to select the most eligible
positions to view the Royal Procession as it pro-
ceeded from Buckingham Palace to Westminster.
Whitehall and Parliament •street also bore a
very animated appearance, the number of sight-
seers who lined either side o'L the streets being as
numerous, if not more so, than on any former
occasion.

THE GIGANTIC SKELETON.

I resolved to visit Sidy Daoud, the ancient Misua, to verify
a current report of the existence of tombs of giants in that
locality. Only a few days previous a Greek, named Andrea
Cateconi, stated to me in the presence of Dr. Merritt, the
American Consul, that he had opened one of these tombs,
and found in it a skeleton which measured 12 feet in length.
It was one of the most awful sights, he said, he ever beheld.
Tho diameter of the head must have been nearly two feet,
and the teeth were at least an inch in length. He recom•
mended me to a certain Rais Machloof, who he asserted
aided him in opening the tomb, and knew where similar
ones were to be found. The reader may smile at my cre-
dulity ; but, without appealing to the authority of the sacred
writers, let me.remind him that antiquity authorises such
a belief. Plutarch, in his Life of Sertarius, states that when
that general took the town of Tingis, ho broke open the
sepulchre of Antseus, a giant of Phoenician origin, and
adds—" But how great was his surprise when he beheld a
body 60 cubits long." He immediately offered sacrifices,
and closed up the tomb, which added greatly to the respect
and reputation it had before. Antiquity does not only
favour such a belief, but there are ancient remains which
appear to corroborate it. We have in the island of Sardinia
the " Sspolture de is Gigantes,"'varying from 15 to 36 feet
in length, from three to six in width, and the same in
depth, with immense flat stones resting on them as a cover-
ing. My friend the archaeologist Canon Spano is at this
time occupied in making researches among these gigantic
tombs, and I doubt not but we shall, ere long, have the
result of his exertions in his learned periodical, " The
Bulletino Areheologico Sardo."
