      The Crystal Palace. 7. Schiller Festival...

      THE CRYSTAL PALACE . 7 . SCHILLER FESTIVAL . Vt the sitting of the Central Committee at Seyd's fotel , in Finsbury-sqiiaTe , on Saturday last , some f the preparations which are in progress for adding <> the variety of the entertainments on the iOth of November , formed the subject of discussion . The . tendon to illustrate the didactic poem of " The Jell " by musical performances has been given up : tajnbach ' s composition of it will alone be executed , it , instead of this , we shall have an illustration of ! ie Leading characters in Schiller ' s dramatic pro 1 'ietions . A procession in costume , representing nearly the whole series of Schiller ' s dramas ,

      begini ing with the " Robbers / ' and ending with "William Tell " and " Turaqdot , " is to form the beginning of he entertainment . " These dramatic figures Will >/ terwards fall into a group around the colossal bust > f the poet , now in execution at the Crystal Palace . A . sight very unusual in this country will be furnished by the torchlight procession in the gardens of rhe palace , with which , the showy part of the-festival is to conclude . A sufficiency of torchlight will be orovided , and gratuitously distributed , so that everybody may take part in this expression of homage who feels inclined to do so . The torchlight process sion is to move in windings over the different

      terraces of the garden , beginning at the summit and Tescending to the foot of the hill , so that the spectacle , seen from below , if the evening be but fine , must present a highly picturesque and startling effect . "When the procession has reached its goal in the lower part of the garden , the burning torches will all be thrown in a heap , and a circle be formed ; iround this huge bonfire , with its column of dense -smoke , strangely lit up on the lower margin by the glare below , like the " fuxnaroles " of "Vesuvius . The well-known University song , " Gardeamus igitur , " will then be sung , the whole : mass joining in it . Those who will join in the public dinner may then adjourn to the dining-rooms in the southern wing .

      Madame Tuss^Ud's.—The Proprietor Of This...

      Madame Tuss ^ ud ' s . —The proprietor of this gallery , with his usual alacrity in providing novelty for his patrons , has within a few days added tp his collection an excellent portrait figure of Sir John Lawrence , which forms , with the figures of Generals Campbell and Havelock , a very interesting group of the celebrities of the late Indian war . It is modelled with great fidelity , and has the appearance of animation , to produce which is a difficulty in figures of thjs nature . The costume , the blue coat embroidered with gold lace , now the official , dress of civilians , contrasts happily with the military uniforms of the generals , and produces a . good pictorial effect . It will repay the time . spent in a visit to the exhibition .

      IiYqEtTM Theatre . —This hitherto proverbially unlucky house has again found occupiers , Madame Celeste and Mr . Copeland , of Liverpool , have taken the theatre for a term j and if any one can make it pay , it would seem probable , judging from the former successes of the new lessees , that they will .

      THE CONGRESS . The Nord of this day ( Friday ) says : — " At length we are tq have a congress . England , which up to the last moment appeared to subordinate its adhesions to concessions that would have anticipated the solution , has at last decided to join the other Powers in removing a crisis which mfclit have been fatal to all Europe . Already the letter of the Emperor Napoleon has traced the political programme which France will bring to the congress This programme , which has only a conditional value , is generally approved by the European press . Engaged in spite of herself , by the preliminaries of Villafranca , Prance hasdoneallshe can for the unity andindependenceof Italy but the other Powers , free from any engagement , brin " ' to the regulation of the Italian question no personal interest , and having to defend only the general interests of Europe , possess an entire liberty of action , and will come to sit in the , congress animated b y the sole desire to give to the Italian question a fit solution—not to put off the dangers , but to make them completely disappear . *' The Dehnts , of this day , publishes a letter from Berlin , which pretends to give the present situation of the English Cabinet . This writer asserts as a fact " no longer doubtful , " that Lord John Russell and others are about to withdraw from the povevnraent , and that the new Foreign Minister will he Lord Clarendon . Mr . Reuter has received a telegram to-day , from Paris , which says : — " The French and English Governments have ^ completely agreed on the -bases of the congress which is to be held at Brussels . All that remains to be settled is an official ratification from the English Government . "
