of Government through the greater part Of his life,
was, at the time Of his death, the only constitutional
Sovereign in Germany. He was the last remaining
son Of GEORGE ILL., and died in the 8lst year Of his
age
The fate Of the CRYSTAL PALACE has not yet
been made known but the expectation is increasing
every day that it will be retained. Already the
transept and the British half Of the nave are suf
fciently cleared to make it evident that new and
very beautiful effect is in store for the public. In
fact the building has not yet been in perfection,
for the calico with which the roof was covered,
cessary as it was during the Exhibition, destroyed
both its brilliancy and transparency. Its removal
ensures to the visiters of the building sight which
will delight and surprise them, even after all the
glories Of the Exhibition have departed A series

has been suggested by Prince ALBERT, and agreed
to by the Council Of the Society of Arts. These
lectures will be delivered by the most celebrated
professors in each branch of art and science.

will soon follow; but it consoles itself with the pre-
dicton that the coalition will not save the doomed
Ministry from destruction"
