      THE CRYSTAL PALACE . ~ SCHILLER FESTIVAL . \ t the sitting of the Central Committee at Seyd ' s f * otel , in Finsbuty-square , on Saturday last , some of the preparations which are in progress for adding 'o the variety of the entertainments on the 10 th of November , formed the subject of discussion . The intention to illustrate the didactic poem of " The Bell " by music al performances has been given up . Ratnbach ' s composition of it will alone be executed , hut , instead of this , we shall have an illustration of the leading characters in Schiller ' s dramatic productions . A procession in costume , representing nearly the whole series of Schiller ' s dratnas ,

      beginning withthe " Robbers , " and ending with "William Tell" and " Turandot , " is to form the beginning of > he entertainment . These dramatic figures will afterwards fall into a group around , the colossal bust of 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 the palace , with which the showy part of the festival is to conclude . A sufficiency of torchlight will be provided , and gratuitously distributed , so that everybody may take part in this expression of homage who feels inclined to do so . The torchlight procession is to mbVe in windings over the different

      terraces of the garden , beginning at the summit and descending 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 around this huge bonfire , with its column of dense smoke , strangely lit up on the lower margin by the glare belowylike the " fumaroles " 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 .

      THE CONGRESS . The Nord of this day ( Friday ) says : — " At length we are to have a congress . England , which up to the last moment appeared to subordinate its adhesions to concessions that would have anticipated the solution hag at last decided to join the other Powers in removing a crisis which mteht 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 ot herself , by the preliminaries of Villafrfinca , France has done all she can for the unity and , independence of Italy but the other Powers , free from any engagement , bring 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 by 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 Debats , of this day , publishes a letter from Berlin , which pretends to give the present situation of the English Cabinet . This writer asserts a ? a fact " no longer doubtful , " that lord John Russell and others are about to withdraw from the government , and that the new Foreign Minister will be Lord Clarendon . Mr . Iteuter 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 . "

      Madame Tctssaud ' s . — -The proprietor of this gallery , -w | th his usual alacrity in providing novelty for his patrons , has within a few days added to 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 this nature . The eostnme , 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 . . .
