THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNI

at the moment the procession emerged from the church,
assisted by Generals Tzavellas and Grivas and M. Calli-
phronas, Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies, forcibly
possessed themselves of the four corners of the representa-
tion of the Holy Sepulchre, hoping that the clergy would be
obliged to follow. The prelate hesitated. The commissary
of police endeavoured to force him to do so, upon which he
decided on retiring into the sanctuary, but ordered the
clergy to follow, without, howwer, going to the palace.
The whole procession proceeded for a short distance,
until the four bearers of the holy sepulchre took
the turning which led to the palace, while the clergy
and the rest of the procession followed the one they
had been directed to adhere to, and finding that they were
thus abandoned, returned to the church. This scandalous
scene caused a tumult among the spectators, and a voice
cried out, The King of kings is not to be carried to the feet
of a mortal king.' M. Colletti perceived his error, and al-
though the King and Queen were waiting, gave up the idea
of proceeding to the palace, persuaded the clergy to return,
and then the whole procession adhered to the route which the
Archbishop had ordered. The next evening M. Coletti still
further committed himself, as after the ceremony at the
church, at which their Majesties were present, and had been
kept standing upward. of two hours, M. Coletti and General
Grivas suddenly decided on receiving the sacrament, which
is quite contrary to custom, and was highly displeasing to
the clergy, to say nothing of its being a breach of Court eti-
quette, as it considerably prolonged the ceremony."

We have received Madrid journals of the 10th and
11th inst. The Cortes, whicu was still engaged in dis-
cussing the budget, bad nearly finished the business of
the session, and was to be prorogued about the 20th.
The QUEEN will leave for Catalonia a few days after-
wards, accompanied by NARVAEZ and MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA. It would appear from the following statement in
the Espec&zdor that the relations between the Court of
Madrid and the POPE have not yet been established. His
Holiness requires much more than the Ministers con-
sider it prudent to concede
We are assured that the concordat has arrived, and that
it is on the following bases :-1. All the emigrant bishops
are to return to Spain without being required to take the oath
to the Constitution. 2. In each provincial capital there shall
be two convents in which the monks shall reside without
distinction of order. 3. The Government shall provide the
buildings for this purpose. 4. The support of the monks
shall be provided for by a canonical tax of 15 per cent., to
which the purchasers of Church property shall be subjected,
and it is only on this condition that they shall be relieved
from the excommunication that now hangs over them. 5.
The vacant dioceses shall be administered by ecclesiastical
governors, to be named, not by the chapters, but the bishops
of the nearest dioceses. We do not guarantee the news, but
it is communicated to us as very positive. It is said that the
Government is doing all in its power to prevent these condi-
tions from transpiring, but it is so embarrassed at this unex-
pected news that it is probable the occult power will influence
it and induce it to submit to the demands of the Pope."

The Three per Cents. closed at 34 for cash, and 35
at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25i at 60 days ; and
the Debt without Interest, at 84 at 60 days.

The intelligence in the Paris papers is not important.
The Deputies did not meet on Saturday, as there wore
not a sufficient number of Members present to constitute
the Chamber. On the previous day the Great Northern
line occupied their attention, but little progress was
made. The Committee had proposed that the line be-
tween St. Quentin and Noyou should pass by the for-
tress of Ham. To this the Government objected, and
required time to consider what course would be pre-
ferable. To this the Chamber assented. It was under-
stood, however, that the Government was to make its
choice before the adjudication of the line, and it was re-
solved that the Company should be bound to for-
ward all merchandise within twenty-four hours
after its delivery, unless there was a special
agreement to the contrary. The Opposition,
according to the Revue de Pari4, intend to show fight
again before the close of the session about the old worn-
out questions relating to Morocco and Otaheite, and
" it is probable," adds that journal, " that the Ministry
will be asked what course they mean to adopt in pre-
sence of the difficulties which may arise in the New
World between Great Britain and the United States.
Besides these questions, which are entirely political, the
special budget of the Ministry of Marine will be the
theme of numerous and severe reclamation addressed to
Admiral MACKA.U, respecting the absence of order and
foresight manifest in most of the branches of his (the
navy) administration."
A report prevailed that the negotiations carried on in
London relative to the suppression of the slave trade
were in a fair train ; that the right of search was to be
abolished, and that French and English fleets were to
cruise on the African coast, to prevent the trade, as
had been agreed to with the Government of the United
States. _ _ _

Th 4 following appears in the Semaphore de Marseilles
of the 14th :

" The steam-packet Charlemagne, which left Algiers on
the 10th, came safe into port last evening, notwithstanding
the stormy state of the weather. She brings very satisfac-
tory accounts from the column under the direction of Mar-
shal Bugeaud. The intuit rection of the Dahara is completely
extinguished, and most of the Kabyle tribes have made
their submission; but the Governor-General has imposed
upon them very rigid conditions. The Marabout, who killed
one of our civil agents in the market place at Milianah, has
been decapitated by order of the chief of the tribe, and the
head of the fanatic was laid at the feet of the Marshal.
There has been a new visitation of locusts, and fears are
entertained that some epidemic disease may arise from the
quantity of bodies of these insects with which the ground is
covered."
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Satur-
day at 86f. 25c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 55c. ; the Five per

HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON

On Saturday the members of this national and patriotic I
Society held their fourth and last meeting for the season at
the Freemasons' Tavern. The Society was established so
long aga as the year 1778, and incorporated by Act of Parlia-
ment in 1815, for the purpose of preserving the martial spirit,
dress, music, and language—the remains of Celtic literature
and the antiquities of the ancient Caledonians—for encou-
raging a kindly feeling between Highlanders in all parts of
the world, and in other respects promoting the general wel-
fare of the northern parts of the kingdom. The principal
general Court of the Society is always held on the 21st
of March, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle
of Alexandria, where the heroism of the High-
land troops was so conspicuously and memorably dis-
played. On the present occasion about forty gentlemen,
several of whom were in military and Highland costume,
sat down to a very excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Ba-
con. The chair was filled by Lieutenant-General Sir
Lewis Grant, and supported by The Chisholm, Sir
James R. Grant, Sir William C. Ross, Captain Charles
Forbes, Captain Lamoat, R.N. ; Mr. J. J. Glennie, Mr. Tul-
loch, Mr. A. M'Donald, Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Gillespie, Mr,
Annandale, Mr. J. Currie, Mr. M. Boyd, Mr. J. Davidson
Mr. D. Davidson, Mr. A. Johnston, Captain Green, Mr.
Bain, &c. &c.
After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank,
several of which were with. Highland honours. Her Majesty's
piper, Angus Mackay ; the Society's piper, Donald
Mackay ; and John Mackenzie, piper to the Marquis of
Brdadalbane, played several of their best martial and High-
land airs. Some excellent songs were sung, and
a few reels in true Highland spirit, were danced during the
evening, and about the last hour of night the company sepa-
rated, after a friendly bumper, to the old toast of" Happy to
meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again."

NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW
LE AGUE BAZAAR.

The price of admittance to the Bazaar yesterday "was
one shilling, and as might have been expected it was
crowded to excess. Very extensive sales seem to have
taken place within the last three or four days, for on many
of the stalls there is not a single artiele remaining of
those which were exhibited last week—their places
however, have been supplied by others. In the
lobby of the dress-boxes to-day there was a valuable
collection of stuffed birds and animals, well worthy of at-
tention. The monster cake, which was the great attraction
in the refreshment-room, has disappeared. Its place, how-
ever, is supplied by a monster loaf, aptly labelled, " The
forbidden fruit of the Garden of England." In the box
lobby of the upper boxes, is a cabinet, which is a wonderful
specimen of the ingenuity of the British artisan
From its appearance it might be taken for one of the richly-
carved, highly-polished oak cabinets of the Tudor era. It
is, however, a production of our own times, and is valuable
not only as a specimen of British ingenuity, but as a me-
mento of one of those few-gifted men to whom it is
vouchsafed by Providence to stamp his own cha-
racter on the age in which he flourishes to become
a leader—a trusted leader of thozsands of his fellow-men.
It is formed of the print blocks which have been used in the
calico print works of Mr. Cobden. It is marked at 121. 12s.
If the League had marked it at three times that
sum we doubt not but that they would readily have
obtained it. Perhaps the most interesting part of the exhi-
bition is the model and machine-room in the upper boxes sa-
loon. Here we have models of steam-engines, power-looms,
blonde making machines, card.making machines, coining
machines, stocking weaving machines—all at work; and just
at the door of entrance is a potter fashioning earthenware
of the most elegant shapes out of plaster clay on his potter's
wheel. This is, perhaps, the most interesting, certainly the
most Ibitinettve portion of the exhibition.

PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY OF ST. GEORGE'S, SOUTH-
wARK.—On Sunday morning the anniversary sermon on be-
half of this invaluable institution was preached by the Right
Rev, the Bishop of Chester, at the chapel of the institution, in
St. George's-road. The amount collected at the conclusion
of Divin,e service was highly satisfactory. It would seem
from
the appeal made that the claims upon the institution are
very rapidly increasing.
The Earl of Harborough is in a very dangerous
I state, and it is not expected that he will survive many weeks.

On leaving the Yellow Drawing-room the royal party,
entered the grand saloon, which, together with the ball-
room, which opens en suite, was filled with company, with
the exception of a small passage in the centre of both
apartments. The Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward,
and the Vice Chamberlain, conducted her Majesty and
her Illustrious Consort down the avenue formed by the
company, her Majesty and his Royal Highness graci-
ously acknowledging the obeisance of their distinguished
guests as they passed slowly to the end of the ball-room.
A Quadrille Band, led by Monsr. Collinet, Director of
the Orchestra, with a band of twenty-five performers of
first-rate talent, comprising Messrs. Deloffre, Pilet,
Bourotte, Arboa, Laurent, Jacquin, and others, from her
Majesty's Theatre, was stationed in an elevated orchestra
at the south-end of the ball-room, and as the royal party
entered played " God Save the Queen."
Her Majesty and Prince Albert and the Royal Family
having walked to the end of the ball-room, returned to
the centre of the apartment, and took their seats in a
recess prepared for the august circle.
The Queen then signified her commands to the Lord
Chamberlain that a quadrille should be formed, and her
Majesty, quitting her station, joined the quadrille,
and opened the ball with his Serene Highness Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar. His Royal Highness Prince
Albert and the Countess Deitriehstein, the Austrian
Ambassadress, formed the opposite couple.
Other quadrilles and waltzes followed.
Soon after ten o'clock dancing commenced in the
Throne-room, which was also fitted up, as a ball-room.
The band of M. Jullien and Herr Keenig, including
Messrs. Barret, Baumann, Lazarus, Loder, J. Loder,
Harper, Casolani, Baker, and Prospere, was stationed in
an orchestra within the Throne-alcove.
His Royal Highness Prince George arrived at a
quarter before eleven o'clock, having returned from
accompanying the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Meeklenburgh Strelitz to Dover.
At eleven o'clock her Majesty was conducted by the
Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Steward from the Ball-
room to the Throne-room, Jullien's and Keenig's band
playing the National Anthem on her Majesty's entrance.
A quadrille from " Kaya ou l'Amour Voyageur,' and
a quadrille from " Eoline," were danced, also the
Waltzes Styrienne—Les Danseuses, and Viennoises.
The Stop Polka, the Bohemian Polka, and le pas des
flours were also danced in this apartment.
The whole of the Diplomatic Corps, and also all the
foreigners of distinction at present in town, were present
at this most brilliant reunion, which exceeded in the
numbers present any former tete given by her Majesty.
Deriding was kept up in both ball-rooms until twelve
o'clock, when the Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied
by their royal guests, and attended by the officers of
State, went to supper, which was served in the Dining-
room, in a style of profusion and magnificence, commen-
surate with the Princely nature of the entertainment.

ceived the Royal Family with the usual honours, and
also performed a number of favourite pieces during the
night.

in flower, decorated all the recesses of the State rooms,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
It appears that Madame Thillon, although much better, 1
is not yet sufficiently recovered to appear. Both '
Madame and the management act wisely in delaying the
repetition of the opera until she shall be sufficiently re- I
covered to continue the run which the Enchant•.ess is
sure to have. Better, much better, is it that her re-ap-
pearance should be delayed for a couple of days than
that she should appear an hour too soon, and run the
risk of a relapse, which might lay her up for a fort-
night. In the meantime Mr. Bunn has done all
that man or manager could do to repair this
inevitable disaster. Finding that Staudigl was
disengaged for one evening, he offered the prince of
bass singers an engagement, which was accepted, and
Stant-lig,' was announced for last evening as Don Pizarro,
in Fidelio. Just as the theatre was about to open, Mr.
Cooper, the stage-manager, received a note from Stau-
digl, dated Monday, four o'clock, announcing that a
sudden attack of hoarseness, accompanied by
swelling of the glands of the throat, rendered
it impossible that he could sing that evening.
Copies of this note of Staudigl were immediately pla-
carded around the theatre, accompanied by an announce-
ment that the performances would be the same, and that
those who had purchased tickets might, if they pleased,
have their money returned. The opera of Fidelio was
performed, Mr. Jones appearing as Pizarro in the room
of Staudigl ; and very respectably did Mr. Jones go
through the part ; he was frequently and deservedly
applauded. Miss Rainforth made a most interesting
Fidelio. If this young lady had but power equal to
her taste she would be the prima donna of Europe.
The farce of _Deaf as a Post followed, in which Harley,
by his quaintness as Tristam Sappy, kept the house in
a roar. The first act of the exquisite ballet, La Giselle,
concluded the evening's entertainments, with M. Silvain
as the Duke and Mademoiselle Weiss as La Giselle.
This was the first appearance of Mademoiselle Weiss in
England, and she is certainly a great acquisition. She
is young, pretty, elegant, an excellent danseuse, and
a beautiful pantomimist. Her pas des Vendanges with
Silvain was exquisitely given, and elicited the
most rapturous applause, and her acting in the last scene
was perfectly thrilling. Every feeling of the simple in-
nocent girl who has been suddenly awakened from her
dream of love' by finding that she has bestowed her
affections on an unworthy object, was truthfully, almost
painfully, depicted. It was acted poetry. Words would
have dispelled the charm, there was no need of language
to assure us that her heart was broken. Notwithstanding
the disappointment, we were glad to see that the house
was well attended, the pit was a bumper, and there was
no lack of company in the boxes. With such an orchestra
as that of Drury-lane, it is needless to add that full
justice was done to the divine music of Beethoven, were
without Staudigl it was a great treat to hear the Fidelio
performed as it was performed at Drury-lane last night.

1000 to 10 agst Mr. Theobald's Desperation.
Out of the above unusually full list, we may make a se-
lection of four horses as having been in very general favour,
namely, Idas,Weatherbit, Alarm, and Doleful. The odds laid
against the first were the same that we have quoted for
some titre, namely, 2 to I, but as on all previous occasions,
offered at the finish. On Weatherbit the outlay was small,
owing, not to the want of friends—of these there was no lack—
but to the refusal of the layers to exceed 7to 1. Alarm was
backed heavily at 10 and 11 to 1, and Doleful, near the end
of the betting, at 25 to 1, a rush to back the Merry Monarch
having at one time forced him back to nearly 30 to 1. The
Libel, Pantasa, and Old England, were not in much re-
quest, nor, with the exception of Forth's new favourite—the
Merry Monarch—who sprung from 1,000 to 14 to 40 to 1,
was there any movement amongst the outsiders worthy of
observation. We had almost forgotten to mention that John
Day's lot was in immense favour at 4 to I, and that
8 to 1 was taken to three or four hundred pounds about
Forth's lot.

OAKS.
6 to 1 agst Mr. Worthington's Lancashire Witch
7 to 1 agst Mr. Bennett's Hope
10 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Lady Wildair

15 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Lcelia
30 to 1 agst Mr. Armstrong's Venus

IRONMASTER'S QUALIFICATION.—This case came before the
Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Normanby yesterday
morning, C. C. Greville, Esq., attending on behalf of himself
and the other objectors, and Lord George Bentinck for Mr.
A. Hill. Time not having admitted of the inquiry being
brought to a close, it was adjourned until Thursday, on which
day we have reason to believe the question of qualification
will be decided.

ANTI-REPEALER.
Nothing decisive has transpired with respect to this horse's
nomination ; but from inquiries we have made, there is great
reason to believe that he was named by the Capt. Williams,
whose death was announced about ten days ago, and, there-
fore, disqualified from starting for the Derby.
It is essential for those who have bets on the Derby and
Oaks to bear in mind that Thursday next is comparing day;
the necessity of attending to this cannot be too strongly en-
forced.
NEWMARKET RAILWAY.— An impression having obtained
that the Wickhambrook-station on the Norwich Direct line
will be the most convenient for parties attending the New-
market meetings, we have, for the purpose of showing its in-
correctness, ascertained the distances from the Bushes on the
Flat, to the different stations proposed or contemplated, and
thence to the Metropolis.
To Paper Mills 10i miles per road 58} miles per rail
To Cambridge 12 •57
To Chesterford 15
To Wickhambrook 11fr 59 ,
We understand that, as soon as their arrangements will
permit, the fast train on the Cambridge line will run the 47
miles to Chesterford under the hour. This will bring New-
market within two hours and a half of London.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The next horse in the Derby I am bound to notice is Mr.
Mostyn's Pautasa, by Piccaroon, out of Acanthus. This
animal has a great many friends in Cheshire and the neigh-
bouring counties, who say that he is wonderfully improved
in form since he ran last year. His doings are as follow :
At the Ascot Meeting last year he ran second to Old Eng-
land. At Liverpool he won the Mersey Stakes, beating by a
length Bretwalda, Hope, Ann Page, Pluto, Miss Elis, Somers,
Jinglepot, Pickpocket, filly by the Saddler, out of Fickle,
Helmsman, and Lass of Gowrie. At the York August
?ileting, carrying 2lbs. extra, he ran second to Lancashire
Witch; and at Doncaster, for the Champagne, he ran fifth
to the Lancashire Witch. The success of Milton and Ala-
mode at Chester is certainly encouraginK to his friends, who,
I have no doubt, will place him still higher in the market.
He is in the hands of Blinkhorn, one of the best country
trainers in England, who has trained for Mr. Mostyn for
years, and won for him the Oaks and St. Leger with the
Queen of Trumps. Old Tommy Lye will ride him, and no
doubt make the most of him. If any of my readers may
have drawn Pantasa in a sweep, I recommend them not to
part with him.
The winter favourite, Alarm, from his position in the bet-
ting, I shall now attend to. Alarm is a bay colt by Venison,
nut of Southdown, by Defence, out of Feltona, formerly the
property of Captain Delme, who, after his race for the Cham-
pagne Stakes at the Bibury Club Meeting, in which he beat
by a length Winchester, Lady Wildair, Nutbourne, and/Ego,
sold him for a long figure to Mr. C. Greville. From the
mere fact of his winning this race, and being purchased
by so celebrated a judge as Mr. Greville, Alarm became first
favourite for the Derby, and remained in that distinguished
