      ~4fr- Ffrruj,,\< Reception Of Kossuth. E...

      rT 70 nrnal with characteristic astuteness . Ending that public op inion was too strong to * T ut down , it hai bottled up its thunder , d only ventured to attack the object of vnstria ' i deadly fear and hatred by Bide winds d bye blows . The leading columns have SLn closed ; but * leader' type has not been anting to ' correspondents , ' who hare no doubt received their inspirations from tho same sources as the ' leader' writer , and with " on ffcnial baseness , assail the excellence they cannot reach , and spit their filthy venom at a , hafacte T beyond their power-to sull y or

      destroy . It is worthy of remark , that tho'Times ' and tho 'Post , ' find companions only in the ' ost bjcroted and reactionary French journals , fl-ho repeat the Same exploded calumnies , stup id lies , and refuted slanders which the Eng lish hacks of Austria were obliged to disinter from the forgeries of their own forei gn correspondents . This is sufficient to show trho pulls the strings which set these puppets 5 n motion , and to prove the identity of the absolutist journals throughout Europe , however they may apparentl y oppose each other

      eu nviior points . Iu the course of the vituperation which such execrable papers as the 'Univers' heap on tbe English people , for the manner in which they arc preparing to receive Kossuth , it is carious to observe how . anger destroys all discrimination , and causes them to belch out their usual terms of vilification and reproach , however inapplicable they may he . For instance , tho- ' . Dail y News / which professes to be an admirer of Kossuth , had a wishy Tv - ashy apologetic article for the tone of his address at Marseilles , which could only excite the

      contempt of every honest and true hearted liberal in this country . It betrayed a base , craven hearted , and lickspittle spirit which was wholly at variance with the career of the man for whom it pretended to speak , as if it could reduce the Hungarian Statesmen and patriot to the petty dimensions of shopkeeping patriotism , and selfish political jobbing , which it represents in English j ournalism ! Yet it suited the Parisian Absolutist papers to assume that the ' Daily New' spoke for Kossoti , and the democratic party in that

      aidcie , and it was represented as ' Socialist and Democratic ' —a charge which must have ast onished the conductors of the organ of the hurgEOSiR quite as much as any bod y else . The truth is , however , that 'Socialist , ' ? , Anarchist , ' ' Bed Republican , ' and so forth ate nicknames , coined by the opponents of popular progress , for the purpose of exciting a ceaseless and irrational hostility in the minds of thvir dupes . Lacking argument , they have re course to Billingsgate—they cannot reason , and they ' call names . ' For a time this may succeed , hut they should recollect the fable

      of the hoy Avho cried ' Wolf . ' Th ^ y may rase alarms , needlessly so often , that at the iioar of real danger to their order they will iiu < i themselves without hel p or sympathy . With respect to the opinions of Kossuth up on Socialism , Red Republicanism , or C ommunism , we believe no one can say anything with certainty in this country . In Hungary he was a practical Keformer , devoted to the removal of the abuses he saw existing

      around him , by such means as were in his prer . When Austria threw , off the mask , 5-isd , after treacherously pushing forward JnlLACHiCH within twenty miles of Pesth , at i time when the Hungarians were fi g hting Austrian battles in Ital y , demanded the jestraction ofthe very Constitution which the Imfjekob had previously solemnly sworn to maintain , KossUTH applied all his great energies and transcendent abilities to the immediate exigencies of the situation . He had to oreauise armies , and create a civil

      & 4 umristration , in the midst of unparalleled difficulties . These circum : tances were not favourable for the study of abstract theories . He had to deal with the practical and not the speculative ; and if he has busied himself siuce with the latter , it must have been in his Asiatic captivity , where he had p lenty of time io study the treachery and the murderous propensities of Absolutist Monarchs , and the akary their rule produces among mankind . At ail events the welcome which thoEnglish IWde are prepared to give him , is not iWsded on the fact that he advocates any

      particular phase of Liberal or Democratic doctrine , but because , in the terrible hour of nkl , he came forth from the ordeal with the stamp of true greatness upon him . His unquestionable genius , energy , wisdom , and patriotism were devoted in the purest spirit ef disinterestedness to the service of his country ; and his glorious , though unsuccessful , struggl « frr Hungarian Independence , added another imperishable and inspiring chapter to history —another great and immortal name to the number of those whose example , through all ases . shall rouse the world to struggle for ireedom , and whose deeds shed lustre and Seuitv upon our common nature .

      3.1. Bonaparte In A 'Fix.' A Crisis A Pp...

      3 . 1 . BONAPARTE IN A 'FIX . ' A crisis a pproaches in Franco . The Pbesi-3 EKT is determined no longer to bo the tool of the - 'Bunn-aves' —the mere warming-pan f « r the Due de Boukdeatjx or the County de I ' iliiS . Prom the parties who constitute the Parliamentary majority he sees that he has nothing to expect , and he is therefore driven hack to take his chance with the people , whom he has betrayed , oppressed , and insulted . He has been caug ht in his own irap . For the purpose of securing the supssembl

      port of the * ordermongers ' in the A y , lie consented to disfranchise at least one-half tf the voters who had raised him from exile and obscurity to the Presidential Chair . But no sooner had this act of treachery and perjury been consummated , than he saw himself fleje rted bv the parties to gain whose support lie had violated his oaths and broken faith ' ¦ ttth the French peop le . Instead of thronging lo the Elysee or St . Cloud , they made p il-2 rini . - i < res " tu Prohsdorf or Claremont . They turevToff all disguise , because they believed 'iev had succeeded in destroying all chance Jiliis ever again possessing any popular power 3 France .

      Since that time there have been numerous ^ rrels between tbeBargraves aud the Chief < J the Executive ; but the latter has been « ai ; ieiied , hy the false position in which he kd p laced himself , to pursue a system atic « a « e of oppression and coercion . The liber-% guaranteed bv the Constitution have been Willed upon , the privileges of citizens ahrof « ted , and the country governed , b y soldiers , $ e . s and brute force , as unblushing l y as if t ' aris had been St . Petersburg h , and Louis

      Weox the Czar Nicholas . In public , as *« jii-. ate life , one false step leads to another , ^ d thus it has happened with 31 . BoxAPAkte ¦ Wa ous tosecere his re-election as President perhaps more ambitious than that—dreanija ? of Imperial honours-he has become so topelessly entangled and mixed up in the ^ cti-jiiary and oppressive policy of then ionar , 'ileal cliques who predominate in the Assem , % , that instead of making them his i }* ™ *> Mife he has become their tool , and vrill be

      Warded Lv the people accordingly . Ihere was no mistake as to the object ot t ^ iug the law of the 3 lst May , by which Je-half of the voters were disfranchised . i , J r some time previous the elections were iu-^ iably in favour of the democratic candifts , wherever they occurred ; and at length ; partisans of the Itepubliqne JDemocmhque \^ ioh achieved a crowning aud signal * uiph at the election in Paris , which en-, ^ them to send to the Assembly four Solali sts ; among whom was the celebrated " " " fen , Eugese Sue . The reactionary nia-% saw -with terror , that if this was perait to continue much longer , their , ^ jority -would be destroyed , and their power ^ idiously tampering with the Eepublic ,

      and destroying the Constitution with the weapons entrusted to them for its defence and maintenance , would be taken away from them . Their journals therefore raised a howl in chorus against the horrible anarchy and terrorism , which they predicted as the result of a free expression of the popular will in the Assembly . And under cover ofthe daring and unfounded calumnies , hatched for tho purpose of creating a panic in the minds of the middle classes , they managed to drive one-half of the | people of France out of the pale of the Const !* } tution , with the consent and co-operation of the President , to whom as an immediate reward for his share in the infamous transaction they paid £ 120 , 000 .

      Louis Napoleox now finds , however , or affects to believe , that his onl y chance of success is from the votes of the masses he disfranchised . From the Assembly , at all events , he has nothing to hope , as every shade of parliamentary parties have turned against him . After shutting out the popular element for his own purposes , he now proposes to open the sluices and let it in again , in the hope that it will float him to the object of his selfish ambition .

      The question is , whether to him as to his predecessors , the fatal and irrevocable words 'too late , ' are not applicable . Who can , who will trust him ? He has shamelessl y broken every oath—he has ruthlessl y and unblushingly trampled on all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the constitution to the people ; he has sold his power and influence to traitors in the Assembly , for money which he afterwards squandered in endeavouring to bribe the army into supporting his dynastic and personal pretensions ; aud now , at the last moment , his resolution to propose the restoration of the constitution to its pristine state , is as evidently dictated by the conviction that in that way alone can he hope to obtain a renewed lease of power .

      Nodoubttbe'Constitutionnerandthejouraals of the Elysee g ive very powerful reasons wh y the disfranchising law should be repealed ; but then all these reasons were argued by the opponents of that law , at the time it was proposed and discussed . Nothing new can be said upon that head , nor does the simulated enthusiasm in defence of popular rights impose upon any one . The real object is clearl y seen through . If M . Bouaparte could have descried in any other quarter as many chances of getting a renewal of power , there would have been no split between him and Leon Faucher . M .

      Carlier would still have been allowed to keep his iron hand on Paris , and stifle everything like public opinion , by a vigorous system of espionage and force worthy of the palmiest d-iys ofthe Grand Monarqiie . Had the President set himself , in good faith , to discharge his duties to the people who elected him to that eminent and proud position ; had he strictly observed his own oaths , and resisted , consistentl y and steadil y , all Infractions of the Constitution by others , he would now have possessed the confidence , esteem , and support of the people , who would not have hesitated to re-elect him at the commencement of the Republic , even as the American people re elected Washington . But he has thrown awav all the chances he had , and

      whether the law of the 31 st of May is repeated or not , he will find that he has played his game out , and lost it irrecoverably . The significant words of Cavagniac—backed as they were b y the votes of the Generals practically conversant with the management of armies , forbid all hope of a constitutional reelection of the present occupant of the Presidential Chair . I will throw my sword , ' said that General , 'into the scale of the Constitution . ' Against such a threat as that Louis Napoleon will find himself powerless . The partizans of the Bonapartist dynasty are a mere handful , in comparison with the other parties in France , and the idea of their attempting a coup d ' etat is simpl y ridiculous .

      Besides , why should any of the eminent men whether statesmen or soldiers , who have served France in past times , become the instruments to prolong the rule of a man whose only distinction is that he bears a great name ? The supreme p lace in the Republic is open to all who have the ambition , the power , and the courage , fit for the occupancy of the position . Wh y should they play second fiddles to M . Bonaparte ? Wh y not aspire to fill a seat for which they have at least as good pretensions as he has ? The proposal to repeal the disfranchising

      act , will , however , tell powerfully in favour of the popular cause . Whether it is succesful or not , the mere discussion of the question , followed , as it will not improbably be , by the summoningtof a constituent assembly , to consider the revision of the constitution will give back to the people the control of their own destinies . Within the last four years they have had sufficient experience to teach them caution , as to the parties they will again

      entrust that power . The political jobbers and adventurers , the reactionaries and terrorists , alias ' order mongers , ' will find the game is all up with them . Out ofthe crisis perhaps France will at least get something like a real republic ; and if M . Bonaparte , to further his own despicable purposes , in any degree contributes to that end , wo will have no objection to let him live in quiet obscurity , when he comes back to private lod g ings in St . James ' sstreet , or elsewhere .

      Cash Of Poisoning At Bath.—Great Interes...

      Cash of Poisoning at Bath . —Great interest has been excited iu this city iu consequence of a charge being preferred against a mother poisoning her child . On Friday last , the 10 th inst ., LUzabeth Slater was charged with attempting to poison her infant child . The gentleman represented as the husband of the prisoner , and who appears to be -Mr . Crosby , a solicitor of Bristol , was present ana took full notes of the evidence . The prisoner ' s real name appears to be Elizabeth Lewis , and it is said that she , with her mother , has hitherto kept a very respectable seminary at Exeter-buildings , Ksdland , near Bristol . She also took notes frequently , but occasionally appeared very ill and faint . The proceedings were adjourned ia order to afford Mr .

      Hercpath , the analytical chemist , an opportunity of analysing the contents of the stomach . Since then aa inquest has been held upon the body , bat up to the time wc write , no verdict has been returned . On Thursday the prisoner was re-examinul before the Majorand a full bench of magistrates . The depositions were read over by the magisrate ' s clerk , and the usual caution having been given to the prisoner , she declined saying anything . —Ills worship then said : Prisoner , after a lengthened , patient , but very painful investigation , the magistrates have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to the ends of public justice that you should tsl ; e your trial before \ iarv of vour countrymen . Ton are therefore no \ rammhted to ta & e your trial at the next Somersetshire a ssizes for the wilful murder of your child . — The prisoner was then rersoved in custody .

      " MAT JUSTITU . " " If it were possible for the working classes , by combining among themselves , to raise , or keep up the general rate of wages , it need hardly be said that this would , be a thing not to be punished , but to be welcomed and rejoiced at . " SrUAur Mat . The readers of the . "Star " ' are all . aware of tho evidence delivered by the ex-town councillor , Mr . Edward Perry , of Wolverhampton , at the late trials at Stafford ; where he swore , over and over again , that he saw Peel constantly go in and out of the Star puMc * house , in the month of July , and that'ho lodged there ; that he saw Green there through the blind ; and the fact is , Mr . Peel never lodged there in his life , nor was he in Wolverhampton from the 4 th of June until the 21 st of October , or ever nearer Wolverhampton than London . Mr . Green , too , never lodged there in the month sworn

      too , he also being in London . These were not the only things sworn falsely ; but , for these , Mr . Perry has been served with a summons to appear before the stipendiary magistrate on Friday , the 17 th inst . ; so this wil y man may be caught in his own net . He appears much dejected , hut his scouts and spies are out , to fish up every little circumstance that may assist him in his defence . The scullery-maid and the washerwoman are to be brought to the rescue , and either Sergeant Allen or Mr . Huddleston as the Forlorn Hope . The town seemed paralyzed at the charge , and doubly so , when the summons was granted . This step falling so close upon the conclusive contradiction given by Mr . Fleming to the story invented by Mr . G . Wynn , the official , and positive denial of tho conversation said to take place between Mr . Parry and Mr . Huddlesfcon , as to the alleged compromise at Stafford , which is contained in the following note , must rather astound these dogged persecutors of trades '

      unions : — 3 D , Southampton-huildings , Oct . 2 nd . Sib , — In reply to your letter of the 29 th of September last , referring us to an allege ! statement of Mr . Wynn , nephew to Mr . Edward Perry , reflecting upon the conduct of Messrs . Green , Winters , and yourself , we hare no hesitation in conveying to you our unqualified contradiction o ! the imputations it contains . The statement , from beginning to end , is an entire fabrication . Wfc remain . Sir , yours faithfully , J . HnjirHBEr Pakrt , Henri Machajiaka . Mr . W . Peel . "What can be more plain ?

      Mr . Wynn charges Messrs . Green , Winters , and Peel , with proposing , through their counsel , to plead guilty , and leave the other defendants in the lurch , and he calls Mr . Fleming as a witness . Mr . Fleming , in his answer , fully unmasks the Editor of the defunct " Examiner , " and Messrs . Parry and Macnamara hurl the accusation back with scorn and contempt . The chief among the tribe wc leave to Peel and the law . The "Times" and "Daily News" have been hard at work , to prevent the Trades subscribing to defend us , but have failed . London has nobly stood forward in the front rank : and Manchester ,

      Liverpool , Sheffield , Oldham , Rochdale , Derby , the Potteries , Bristol , Wolverhampton , and other towns , have spiritedly responded to the call of the Defence Committee . Amongst the trades who stand foremost are the Engineers , the Stonemasons , the Compositors , the Shipwrights , the Oorkcutiers , the Bookbinders , Caulkers aud others . The heroic spirit of past times seems to have entered their souls on this occasion , —every one seeming to make the case his own . The gaol , under these circumstances , loses all its terror ? . The prosecutions at Leeds in tho iron trade will not deter their Executive from doing their duty , nor will the arrest of the Saddlers deter the

      Committee of this Association from doing theirs . They do not seek victory , but they seek justice , and while attempting to crush wrong , they will not establish oppression . Their mission is peace on honourable terms to both parties . But there is a race of capitalists , disconnected from the largo body of employers—a race as distinct from really good men as the Heathen cannibal is from the most devout Christian ; it is them , and against them alone , that trades' societies are necessary . They are united against , a band of unprincipled capitalists who are determined to ride rough-shod over their rights and privileges . They consider that by attacking the Tin Plate Workers they attack them ; and to defend them they Iv . ive retained her Majesty ' s Attorney-General . Should they fail , the case must then go to a higher court , and the whole question of master and servant be submitted to the House of Commons .

      Prosecution Against The Lawsall Saddlers...

      PROSECUTION AGAINST THE LAWSALL SADDLERS . BALDWIN V . LAWTON . A dispute has existed for some time in this trade , because the employers of Walsall were not paying the same price as the employers in Birmingham , and a threatened reduction was offered in one town if the prices ivei' 0 not equalised in the other . The result was , the men generally gave notice to leave ; but a Mr . Baldwin thought it

      prudent , aud perhaps necessary , to discharge his own men . They left when they had finished up their work , but it appears a workman ofthe name of Lawton , had , on a previous occasion , received a loau of money , which , at the time of the discharge , had not been repaid ; therefore Mr . Baldwin allowed his passion to overcome his better judgment , and applied for a warrant against him for leaving his work . The man -was seized out of bod late on the Saturday ni ght , locked up till Sunday morning , and then liberated on bail .

      The case came on on Wednesday , when the defendant was supported by Mr . Duignaw , jnnr ., aud Mr . Wilkinson appeared for the p ' aintiff . Mr . Wilkinson argued , that delegates from Birmingham had morally , if not p h y sicall y , coerced them , which , according to the opinion of a learned judge upon a recent trial at Stafford , was contrary to law . Mr . Baldwin , in his examination , said . — That he had lent Mr . Lawton £ 4 , which was to be repaid at 10 s . a month ; that ho had

      left him without giving proper notice . —On cross-examination he admitted lie had himseli g iven all the men notice to leave his employment , if they were not satisfied with hie prices ; that Mr . Lawton had then said , * He would not work unless ho received tho price ; ' and that he ( Mr . Baldwin ) then said , ' Well , gentlemen , you can finish your work , make up your books , and leave me honourably . ' He should not have taken these proceedings if the money had been paid him last Saturday ni ght . The money wa g then paid , and each party paid their own costs , which ended the case .

      Bradford Election.—The Writ For The Elec...

      Bradford Election . —The writ for the election of a member of this borough , in the place of the late William Busfeild , Esq ., is now in the hands of the mayor of the borough , but as his worship is absent from home , it is not probable tbat the election will take place until Tuesday next . There is at present no prospect of a contest , Robert Milligan , Esq ., { liberal )„ being tho only candidate . ACClDE . VT O . V THE LO . YDON A . YD NoRXH-WESTEKX Railway , —Liverpool , Thursday . —The mail-train which leaves London at nine o ' clock in the evening did not arrive here until four or five hours after its time this morning , in consequence of the following

      accident . '—Shortly after this train reached Crewe a luiIJJIUie-tVai n VJH 9 despatched on the same line for Liverpool , and when about ten miles from the former station came in contact with a wheel , which had broken from an up-train . The shock was very great , some of the carriages bein g piled up we are assured to tho height of twenty-five feet , while others were thrown over the embankment into the valley beneath . Fortunately beyond the loss of a few sheep no fatal consequences resulted . Messengers were immediately despatched to arrest the progress of the passenger train—a very heavy one—which was close behind , otherwise the loss of life would have been great .

      Death in a Belfry—Samuel Smith , an officer of the County of Salford , was sent with other persous to iceep the crocd out ofthe Pendleton churchyard during the royal passage from Worsley . Soon after twelve o ' clock Smith , with some others , went into the steeple of the church , Smith going up into that portion where the bells are hung . The bells were then being rung , and soon afterwards the persons who were ringing them felt that there was something wrong . About the same time one of Smith's companions said that he had lost sightof him , upon which some of the ringers went up into the belfry , and there found Sraivh lying under a bell by which he had been knocked down . He was at once removed to the Manchester Infirmary , where he died the following morning from the injuries he had received .

      Mr . Charles Dixon , of Stanstead , Sussex , lus invested £ 20 , 000 ia the founding of a college at Bowland's Gastle , Hampshire , for sis decayed merchants of the city of London .

      Facts And Incidents Of The Great Exhibit...

      FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION . His Royal Hi ghness prTnce Albert presided on Monday at a meeting of the Roval Commission for the Promotion ofthe Exhibition of the Works of i ^ uJ ' n ^' ' in 1851 The meeting was held at tho Exhibition building at twelve o ' clock . m % Zt ? " $ ^ ' ° U P three o ' clock . His Boa » l Highness Prince Albert , attended by Lieut .-Col . £ » TJ ?„ „ gh S ; 2 ' afterward * proceeded to the . terminus of the Great Western Railway Windsor " ' ret Urned by a 8 P 0 oial train t 0 nnSS " , ?* h n eab , e , fcBtwe in the supplemental opening ofthe pryatal Palace on Monday was the unexpected v , S ! t p ? ld b y hov Maje 8 ty wh J accom panied by Prince Albert , the royal children , and a rather numerous suite , arrived as early as ten

      oouKHc . unu continued till twelve , inclose inspection o various departments . Tho royal party first visited the Manchester goods , which her Majesty examined most attentiv ely , and subsequently repaired to the Sovres room , where the bronze ' bust of the negro girl attracted much of her Majesty ' s attention . The royal party were received on their T ! h « &«« . *• «' ' ' or tff ° other members of the incentive Committee , and Mr . Belshaw had the honour ot attending her Majesty to the different stands selected for the royal inspection . The naves appeared almost as populous on Monday as ever , from the number of visitors' friends admitted , but the galleries were almost deserted , and the money tables discoursed none of the eloquent music which had so continuously distinguished them on previous days .

      Iler Majesty , ac companied by tho Prince , came again to the building on Tuesday morning , and made the round nf the galleries . They were presented by Mr . Henry Spieer and Mr . George Clowes with handsomely bound copies of the "Official Illustrated Catalogue . " whioh has at length been com pleted . The Queen then visited portions of the United States , ltussian , and Belgian displays , and in taking her departure shortly before twelve o ' clock , with her usual kindness and condescension took notice of the oid Cornish pedestrian fisherwoman , who had been placed in her way , and with hearty emphasis said , " God bless your Majesty . " The attendance of exhibitors and their friends

      was much more numerous than on Monday , but still tho interior was by no means inconveniently crowded . The preparations for tho final ceremonial were in rapid progress , and among the visitors a painful sensation was experienced in finding that the Crystal Fountain , that favourite rendezvous , that central attraction of the building had been entirely removed during the preceding night . As an example of the extensive sales at present in progress in tho Exhibition , we may state that Mr . Pothergill , a well-known consulting engineer at Manchester , purchased on commission , and for the most part on Tuesday , the following objects : —

      Crawhall s rope making machine ; the whole woollen machinery shown by Mason , of Itoehester ; Ryder's forging machine ; Schlesinger ' s paging machine ; a French circular weaving machine by Matthicu ; SewcU ' s lace-making machine , for plain and figured work ; a brick-tile and pipe machine from liandell and Saunders ; a drain and tile machine , by Whitehead ; a loom warping machine and dressing machine , by Konworthy ; looms by Harrison and Bullough ' ; two looms by Mark Smith ; and one of Barlow ' s improved jacquards . We may also mention , that the splendid collection of to . ds shown by Whitworth , has been bought by the Austrian government .

      On Wednesday was played the last great scene in the splendid spectacle of the Crystal Palace . Altogether more than half a million of money has been received by the Exhibition authorities , the exact sum beitCg £ 505 107 5 s . 7 d . This amount includes some very curious items . More than four hundred pounds were paid for the useof the washing places , and no less than £ 9 , 427 on account of other essential conveniencies attached to the building . The small fee exsu-ted for taking cave of sticks and umbrellas produced £ S 31 3 < s . 3 d . ; the royalty taken on the shilling catalogues turned £ 3 . 200 into the Exhibition exchequer ; whilst a still larger sum , £ 5 , 500 , resulted from tho sale of the privilege to feed Lhe visitors with buns , poundcake , ices , ginger

      beer , ami tho other dainties of the refreshment counters . Of the money received at the doors , £ 275 , 000 was in silver , aud £ 81 , 000 in gold . The weight of the silver coin so taken ( at the rate of 28 lbs . per £ 100 ) would be thirty-five tons , and its hulk 000 cubic foot ? The vripid ftow of the coin into the hands of the money-takers pi-arented all examination of each piece as it was received , and £ 00 of had silver was taken , but only one piece of bad gold , and that was a half-sovereign . The halfcrown was the most usual bad coin , but a much more noticeable fact is that nearly all the bad money was taken on the half-crown and five shilling days . The cash was received by eighteen money takers : ou tho very heavy days , six extra ones being employed during the busiest hours ,

      From them it was gathered by three or four money porters , who carried it to four collectors , charged with the task of counting it . From them it went to two tellers , who verified the sum , and handed it to the final custody of the chief financial officer , Mr . P . G . Carpenter , who looked each day ' s amount in his peculiar iron chests in the building til ! next morninp , when in boxes , each holding £ GC 0 . it was borne off in a hackney cab in charge of a Bank of England clerk and a Bank porter . The first shilling day produced tho smallest daily amount received , which was £ 920 2 s . ; the last shilling day but one afforded the largest dailytaking , it being 5 , 283 3 s . —showing how the classes essentially the people increased tlveir support of a display whore so much might be admired and so much be learned .

      The last week of all gave the heaviest receipts . They amounted to £ 29 , 791 lis . Oti . The lightest week was tho first five shilling week , £ 10 , 293 9 s . ; U \ o next lightest week being the first shilling week , when £ 11 , 123 5 s . was taken . This money was received in all forms , ranging between farthings and ten-pound notes . Contrary to the notices exhibited , change was given .- Occasionally foreigners gave Napoleons , and these coins being mistaken for sovereigns , they received nineteen shillings out ,

      and liberty of admission into the bargain . The moulds of America , Hamburgh , Germany , ami France wore often tendered and taken . The total number of visitors from the 1 st of May to the 11 th of October was 0 , 003 . 080 . At one time , on Tuesday week , there were no loss than 92 , 000 persons in the building , the largest number ( so far as is known ) over congregated under one roof . On the same day the total " number of visitors reached the enormous total of 109 , 915 . On one occasion no less than 28 , 853 persons entered the doors in a single hour .

      On Wednesday at twelve o chick , his Itoyal Highness Prince Albert entered the building , and as he made his pay to the dais was greeted by loud and hearty cheers . When the Prince took his seat he was surrounded on the platfoira by a number of the Boyal Commissioners , and on his right was supported by the Bi-hop of London in full cationicals . The proceedings were read by Visount Canning reading a report on presenting the Award of the juries to the Royal Commission , hy which it appeared that the number of prize medals awarded ivcre 2 , 918 . The number of couucil medals were 170 .

      Prince Albert followed , and , in a lengthy speech , complimented the juries in their awards of the prize medals to tho exhibitors , and successively enurnerateu and thanked the parties by whose combined and unceasing exertions the great enterprise had been crowned with success . His Boyal Highness concluded as follows : — ¦ ' In now taking leave of all those who have so materially aided us in their respective characters of jurors and pssociate .- ! , foreign and local commissioners , members and secretaries of local and sectional committees , members of the Society of . Arts , and exhibitors , I cannot refrain from remarking , with heartfelt pleasure , the singular harmony which has prevailed amongst the eminent men representing so many national interests—a harmony which c-w . ot end with the event which produced it . . Let us

      receive it as an auspicious omen for the future ; and while we return our humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for the blessing lie lm [ vouchsafed to our labours , let us all earnestly pray that that Divine Providence which has so benignantly watched over and shielded this illustration of Natnres ' s productions , conceived by human intellect , and fashioned by human & 1 U 11 , may still protect m * and may grant tbat this interchange of knowledge , resulting from the meeting of enlightened people in friendly rivalry , may be dispersed far and wide over distant lands ; and thus , hy shotting our mutual dependence upon each oiher , be a happy means of promoting unity among nations , and peace and good will among the various races of mankind . ' ( Loud cheers , ) The Bishop of London offered up prayers suitable to the occasion .

      Aftyr tho Exhibition had thin been formall y closed , it hecamo known that the honour of knighthood had been offered to Mr . Paxton , to Mr , Cubitt , the engineer , and . to Mr . Fox , the contractor . TllC list Of Contributors to whom medals hare been awarded occupies nearly twenty-four columns of the" Times" newspaper , which wou ' . d be uninteresting to our genera l readers , and occupv a greater amount of space than is at the disposal ' of a weekly journal .

      The spot which last week was filled with multitudes of admiring spectators is now in possession of bands of porters and mechanics , and the hammer and the packing case are onco more in active operation . An immense quantitv of goods has been carried away since Wednesday , including the majority of the valuables in the shape of plate and

      Facts And Incidents Of The Great Exhibit...

      jewellery . The external aspect of the majestic building in Hyde Park presents now the very counterpart ofthe bustle occasionally witnessed at the gooda' station of a railway . Platforms ' have been placed at all the entrances , while at the western and eastern ends of the building cranes and other apparatus are in tho course of erection to facilitate the removal of the heavier description of objects that have been exhibited . Sales are still being negotiated ; aud it is calculated that at least two-thirds of the contracts will change hands before the last article lias been carried -awnv .

      On Thursday , autograph letters of a highly complimentary character were , we understand ' , addressed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to Colonel Iteid , Mr . Cole , Mr . Dilke , Br . Lyon Playfair , and Colonel Lloyd . In these the Prince , we fear , uses the most gratifying and yet nicely discriminated expressions of acknowledgment for the services which the gentlemen named have rendered in carrying to a successful close the work of the Exhibition . His Royal Highness announces his intention of presenting each with a gold medal in commemoration of his connexion with them , and

      to Dr . Lyon Playfair he offers the position of Gentleman-Usher , vacant in his household by the appointment of Colonel Reid to the Governorship ol ' Malta . This last mentioned fact is remarkable , as showing a tendency on the part of his Royal Highness to revive the faded significance of court offices by giving them to men of science , whose minds have been strongly directed to its application to practice . The public will hear with satisfaction that the Prince has come forward so readily to make those acknowled gments which a mistaken or selfish view of his own reputation might have induced him to withhold .

      The work of removal has set in at the Crvstal Palace with an energy and rapidity w'lich exceed all expectation , Fifteen exit doors are open for the departure of goods , and in the British department there has alread y been an immense and very perceptible clearance effected . The foreigners move more slowly , hampered as they are by the necessity for observing Custom-house regulations , and by a variety of other influences which do not tell on native exhibitors . During the whole of Thursday tho building was surrounded by waggons and vans of every description , and in every corner of its vast extent the scenes which preceded the opening were beginning to be reproduced . The work of distribution continues with astonishing rapidity , and some idea of it may be formed from the fact that on Thursday 1 , 500 British Exhibitors had removed all their contributions from the building .

      LYCEUM THEATRE . Madame Yestris took , her benefit on Monday night , and with it concluded a season which has been unexampled in prosperity . The house was crowded to suffocation , and Madamo Yestris , who , after a temporary absence from tho static , re-appeared in her original character of King Charming , was applauded with enthusiasm . To this approbation she was well entitled . She has carried to the Lyceum the same exquisite taste which raised the

      Olympic from nothing , and which , while Mr . Macready held Drury-laue , made a worthy pendant of Covent-garden . In tho Lyceum , her fine perception of details is particularly required , for it seems the destination of that theatre to succeed only when it is made an arena for brilliant spectacle . The "Island of Jewels" and "King Charming " have been tbe " lions " of their day to country novices , and will long be remembered as evidences of the taste of Madame Vestris , of the tact of Mr . Planche , and of the pictorial talent of Mr . W . Beverley .

      OLYMPIC THEATRE . Two novelties have been produced at onco at this theatre . The first , called " Causht in his own Trap , " is a very trifling affair . " An old French lawyer , who objects to the marriage of his nophew from a general horror of the holy state , is entrapped by a fascinating lady , who learns from him that by the law of France a woman who can prove that a man has had three interviews ( tctc-a-tete ) with her can claim his hand as a matter of right . The cunning fair , who lures the lawyer into the three fatal interviews , forces him to marry his

      nephew to her daughter , and the defeated gentleman is so pleased with his defeat that ho becomes enamoured of his conqucvess . This littlo piece is written with some smartness , but it chiefly owes its success to the acting of Mr . Farren and Mr . Shalders . The former plays tho wily lawyer , whom ho dresses to perfection , with a freshness that we have not seen for sorao time , the civil gait and the smooth , scanty hair recalling the admirable delineations of twenty years ago . The lawyer ' s clerk , played by Mr . Shalders , is an amusing specimen of the actor ' s peculiar quaintness .

      More important is the other novelty—a parody on Auber ' s opera , called "Azael , or the Prodigal in London . " Scribe ' s libretto is followed closely enough , with that substitution of the modern for the antique , which is assumed to constitute the genius ' of burlesque . Thus the Prodigal , who resides in the tents of his father , a" Jew Gipsy" ( an ethnographic description which reminds us of an iron milestone ) , is lured not to Memphis , but to the British metropolis , where he falls into those haunts of vice , Vanxlmll , a casino , and ( hear it , Mr . Paxton : ) the Crystal Palace . His debaucheries reduce him to the condition of a doiikey driver on Hampstead-heath , and penitence sets him up again . This story is told pleasantly enough in dialogue ,

      which , though not witty , is not devoid of humour ; in songs , which are , in themselves , for the most part merry , hut ' which are variously sung ; and in a i-etmne , which is printed ia the bills , and makes agreeable reading in the intervals of the entertainment . Mr . Compton , who goes through every phase of vagabondism and " gentism , " is unexceptionable comic as tho Prodigal , and the liveliiu-ss of the piece merits tho success it obtains . Still , many serious persons , while witnessing a work in which the very principle is levity , will hardly refrain from a regret that jokes about " casinos" and "dark walks" arc not attached to a subject derived from a less sacred source that that to which Azael owes its origin .

      ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . The instructive and entertaining lectures , delivered by Dr , Bachhofi ' ner and Mr . J . II . Pepper , on tho deposits in the Great Exhibition , still continup , although the World ' s Fair has completed its time of existence , and will soon be among tho has-beens . The great merits daily exhibited by these gentlemen in their discourses entitle them to the applause and admiration which they receive from the hands of the visitors on each occasion of their appearance in the theatre of the establishment ; and it is but justice on our part , to give our

      humble testimony to their merits as lecturers , more particularly as they render the subjects so clear and simple , that even the driest and most abstruse discourse is perfectly intelligible to a child . The present subjscts chosen by these gentlemen , are on the Electro-metallic deposits , and the iron and steel , as applied to the manufactures in Great Britain . The subject of Photography is now creating great interest , more particularly as Mr . Beard , jun ., has sucoectku in perfecting and fixing the improvement of colouring , which , until lately , had proved so exceedingly imperfect in its durability .

      What Mat Be Dosr With Old R.«Is,—There I...

      What mat be dosr with Old R . « is , —There is a church actually existing , near Bergen , which can contain nearly one thousand persons . It is circular within , octagonal without . The relievos outside , and tho statues within , tho roof , the ceiling , tlie Corinthian capitals , are all of papier mach 6 , rendered waterproof by saturation in vitriol , lime-water , whey , and vrhite of egg . We havo not yet reached this pitch of audacity in our use of paper ; but it should hardly surprise us , inasmuch as we employ the same material in private houses , in steam-boats , and in some public buildings , instead of carved decorations and plaster cornices . When Frederick II . of Prussia tet up a limited papier mauho manufactory at Berlin , in 1705 , he

      little thought that paper cathedrals might , within a century , spring cut of his suuti-boxes , by the sleight-of-hand of advancing art . At present , wc olil-fftshionetl English , who haunt cathedrals , and build churches- - , like stone better . But there is no saying what we may come to . It i * not very long since it would have scorned as possible to cover eighteen acres of ground with glass , as to erect a pagoda of soap bubbles ; yet the thing is done . When we think of a psalm sung by 1 . 000 voices pealing through an edifice made of old rags , and the universal element bound down to carry outmessages with the speed of light , it would be presumptuous to say what can and what can not be achieved by science and art , under the training of steady old Time . —jft ' etas ' s Uovsthdd Worth .

      PROTECTION TO LABOUR—MEETING IN THE TOWER HAMLETS . A numerous meeting of tho working classes of the lower Hamlets , dependent on the various occupations connected with the shipping of the ?« Ha » M-. atlon l h ? w lvt the Beaumont Insti-\ l , JIk r " , ' ° " Thursday night , " to consider tlin , Hnn f 1 T lU 0 ed on thei 1 , j » t «««« bv the application of tho -principle of unrestricted competition , termed Free Trade ; " ¦ - p • J ? " ' 9- £ -J ° ™ > w - -. " occupied the chair .

      Mr . J . O'BniBN , a working-man , then cama forward to propose the hvst resolution , which was as follows : — " That tbe universal cheapness souffhti in the policy falsely called Freo Trade , nfeccss ^ rily includes cheapness of labour , and must , therefore , . by whatever means obtained , bo injurious to the labouring classes , whose interest consists in selling their labour ' in the dearest market . ' But as this cheapness of labour is only to be obtained through a competition which seta British subjects against their fellow-subjects in hostile rivalry for subsistence , and places tho British labourer in competition with the worstpsid labourer and the most degraded labourers in the world ; this meeting regards the wlio ' o system as calculated to lower the physical , social , aud moral condition of tho working classes , and as calling for the reprobation and opposition of every reflecting British workman . " '

      Mr . W . Bnows seconded , and Mr . A . Campbell . supported , the resolution , which was carried by a . great majority . Considerable uproar was created by the chairman refusing to hear a Mr . Priest speak . Mr . Kron moved the following resolution : — " That as labour is the onl y legitimate property of the working man , it follows that cheap products , the result of low prized labour , is injurious to their best interests , " ( Cheers . ) Mr . B . O'Brien seconded the resolution , which was supported by Mr . Dick . A Spitalfiehla Silk Weaver next addressed the meeting , and denouueed the system of Pree Trade as productive of ruin to the interest with which ho was connected . The motion was then put , aud unanimously -Adopted . A vote of thanks was afterwards passed to the chairman , and the proceedings terminated .
