At this charming retreat he pursues bis studies and exercises.*ill quiet, out of thc excitement whichSfoittld sjirrouud him at the Tuilcrics. He inlierit.s from his mother a delicate and sensitive nature, scarcely consis tent with robust health. The Empress;is capa ble of great exertion, and docs not shrink from fatiguo, but for months past she has not been able to bear the strong odors of flowers. Ac cordingly, at the grand gala at "the Opera last night, the Imperial box, enlarged so as to oc cupy thc whole, front of tho theatre?I moan the whole dress circle opposite the state, con tained no plants or flowors.

Iu nccokJuiiuo with the Rutlsiau custom, the Imperial party was received by the nudionco without any demonstration, The Czar aud the Kinprovs came forward ami Halutcd; then the Emperor and the PrincoiM Royal of Prussia, then all took the places which their rank as signcd?thcui.

The smallest parts in the ballet wore filled on this occasion by tho first class of dancers. At a#littlo past midnight the wonderful spectacle was over.
