MAJESTY the Empress Maria, her Imperial |
Highness the Grand Drcliess Helena, con-
ducted by the Grand Chamberlains, and

carried the host, came forth from the |

regiments played the air Of "God save

| his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke
Michael, the whole of the generals, com
manders, and aids de-camp, alighted from
their horses, and Joined the procession to
the temple to assist at the ceremony.
After the Litany, and when the prayers
for the preservation and long life of Ike
whole Of the Imperial Family were about
TO begin, the Empress Mother, their High
nesscs, the general officers, and all the
people prostrated themselves on the earth,
| with their heads uncovered. The cavalry
also uncovered, and bent down their heads
before the "King of Kings" to beg from
him the accomplishment Of the wishes ex-
pressed in the prayer. During those acts
of pious worship the air re-echoed With
the sound Of bells and trumpets, and the
noise ofthe salvoes of artillery. Ie Deum
was then sung. After the prayer the
whole company rose, and the Empress re-
turned to the church, during which time
the flags of the different battalions were
re. delivered. A grand parade finished
the solemnity.

ent points. Two Priests were killed while

GREECE. The Steamboats, destined for
Greece attract much attention in England.
No impediment is offered by government
but the boats are though to be very de-
icctive, and perhaps will prove useless
ElGO,000 nearly all the remaining resour
ces of Greece, has been expended upon
them.
The Greek government have appointed

Greeks. The following is his Maiesty's
letter TO the Secretary of the Committee
IN London for managing the fund i'll aid of
the Greeks -
6 To alleviate the misery Of the Chris
tens Of the East, had subscribed 10000
! forms or 1907 francs, payable in ten fol-
lowing months. As the relief might come
too ate, place this sum now at your dis
posal, and even double it, that you may be
able to afford more effectual aid these
o. On, which you may Immediately dis
pose OF, are independent, of the 10000
| francs which remitted you to redeem the
Greek women and children. With what
pleasing satisfaction do make this new
sacrifice for unfortunate Christians for
am not man and Christian p
.4meiean aid TO Greece. 1t is a fact, as
remarkable, as it is mortifying, that the cit
lzens Of the United States, independent
themselves, and sympathising, we trust, in
the struggles of others for independence,
have thus far done less for the Greeks, than
the subjects of several Of the monarchical
states of Europe. The latter have largely
supplied both men andfunds and we have
limited our aid 10 comparatively trifing
donation.
