This day the Crystal Palace was finally closed, by a ceremonial presided over by H. R. Highness Prince Albert. A wretchedly wet morning did not' prevent the assemblage of a company sufficiently numerous to fill all the front galleries, the transept, and the main avenues of the building. All the doors throughout the building, including the exit-doors, except those at the south central entrance, were opened at ten o'clock, a.m., and closed at half-past eleven, and between those hours all who I were favoured with tickets found their way into the building. The doors at the South Entrance were reserved exclusively for her Majesty's Commissioners, the Foreign and Local Commissioners, the Jurors, and the Lady Exhibitors, whilst the Exhibitors and Members of the Society of Arts, Chairmen and secretaries of local committees, entered the doors at the western or British side of the building. _ . At twelve o'clock precisely his Royal highness arrived at the Crystal Palace, and took his seat on platform that bad been raised on the spot where the crystal fountain stood in the transept. He was sur rounded by the Royal Commissioners and the mem bers of the Executive Committee. The proceedings commenced by the singing of the first ;ergo of the National Anthem by a choir and the visitors. Lord Canning, then on behalf of the juries, read:a Report of their proceedings, and presented a list of the names of those Exhibitors entitled to rewards, together with the Reports of the Juries. The names will appear in the Daily .News of to-morrow, and will be officially published in the London Gazette, on Friday next ; and the Medals, Reports, and Certificates, will be given out as soon as arrange ments can be completed. His Royal Highness formally received the re ports, and read a reply, iu which he expressed his gratification at the general success of the Exhibition. The second verse of the National Anthem was then sung by a choir and the visitors, and a prayer of thanksgiving having been offered up by the Bishop of London, the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus con cluded the proceedings. The entire ceremonial oc cupied only thirty-five minutes. - Qcorrisit CENTRAL RAILWAY.—DIRECT kJ 1i it.:Th to the CENTIte. and N 18ORM BOOrLAND. AUGUST, 31.

The public meeting of the county of Clare, con vened by the high sheriff for the purpose of taking , into consideration the repayment of the consolidated annuities, was held on Saturday at Ennis, J. Butler, Esq., the high sheriff, in the chair. The at tendance was numerous, including nearly all the landed proprietors of the county, and several clergy men. 'the following resolutions were the result of the day's deliberation. Proposed by Sir Edward Fitzgerald, and seconded by G. It. A. Studdert, Esq. : Resolved—That we distinctly disavow the wish to repu diate any debt that may be justly due by us, but that, in the present condition of this country, we arc unable, with out incurring debt, to meet the expenditure necessary for the support of our destitute poor, and are wholly unable to bear additional taxation of any kind. The next resolution was proposed by the Rev. Mr. Corbett, P.P., by way of an amendment to the second resolution of the committee, and was to the following effect: — That we seek for a postponement of the present desire of the government to levy the consolidated annuity. We seek it as a matter of neeessit7, if it be desirable to abate the alarm which just now exists among the occupiers of land in this country. Captain IMacnamara proposed the third resolution, as follows: Resolved,—That we at present make no comment on the nature of these government annuities, because we feel that permanent relief from them can only be obtained from par liament, and because we feel that the condition of this country is such, that unless comprehensive measures of general amelioration be adopted during the next .wises, the south and west of Ireland at least will exhibit an picture of desolation and misery; for however we may seek to hide it ft= ourselves, it is a fact that every clam Is sink lag the deepest emb arrassment. It was inally resolved that a committee be ap pointed to collect funds and prepare a statement for parliament, to obtain a re-consideration of the ques tion of the government advances. The discussion throughout the meeting was characterised by a good deal or warmth. At a meeting of the gentry, landed proprietors, and others, of the county of Longford, held for the purpose ci "taking into consideration the pro priety d memorialising the government to sus pend the imposition of the annuity tax about to be levied until such time as the people shall have recovered from the effects of the calamities with which the country has been afflicted for the last five years," the Hon. E. H. K. Harman in the chair ; the following memorial to the Lords of the Treasury was adopted : That, it being the anxious wish of the guardians of the poor to emnply with the law, and to discharge their legal liabilities, they have, is kosiodsnee with the sealed order of the conranierms,:addeol the amount of the annuities therein nroglesesi to the Mee lately struck, notwithstand ing their sumo of the inmosolisabality of carrying out the messes, as well as this hindwins end ruinous effects of the ottompt.

Russell, his Excellency the Lord Lieut. enant, and also proposed the following resolution: We, the gentry, merchants, traders, and others connected with the agricultural interests of this country now assent bled in public meeting, do fully concur, and arc prepared to bear out the statements made in the memorial forwarded herewith. Sir Percy Nugent seconded the resolution. The Rev. Dean Farrelly, P.P. of Ardagh, proposed the following resolution, which was adopted : That we also consider the rate of interest charged by the government as exorbitant and oppressive; charging an im poverished country 31 per cent., when it is well known they can obtain it at a much less sum ; W 3 therefore respectfully submit that, under the very distrersing circumstances in which this country is at present placed, this fact affords an additional ground for expecting the relief we seek. The sale of the property of Richard H. Becher, of the county of Cork, was proceeded with at Cork on Friday and Saturday. The sale realised altogether the large sum of 32,0801. SCOTLAND. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. On Saturday, in expectation of hearing an address from Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P., a meeting convened by cir calor albs dirsdora of the Chamber of Commerce, the muter and assistants of the merchant company, and the council of the amociation for the extension of forty shilling freeholds to Scotland, was held in the Merchants' Hall, Hunter-square, Edinburgh. It transpired, however, shortly before tho hour of meeting, that the hon. gentle man had not arrived in town, and en intimation to this effect was rustle by Mr. Wigham, who, at the same time, suggested that as it appeared to be Mr. Ilume's principal object to ascertain something of the opinions of the people of Edinburgh on some questions of reform, an interchange of their sentiments on these topics might not, since they were already assembled, be, in the circumstances, unde sirable. _ . . et. :100 u;~ Mr. Wlesow, the Muter of the Merchant Company, was then voted to the chair, and Mr. J. F. MACFARIAN, in explanation of the objects for which the meeting had keen called, read a letter from Mr. Hume dated Olen 'wick, 3rd October, in which he apprised him of his inteu don of shortly visiting Edinburgh, by way of Glavow, referred to the appointment of the committee he had ob tained as to the working of the property and income tax, and to the publication of the evidence taken before it in the columns of the Daisy New, and expressed s desire to know if the resolutions lately passed by the Chamber of Commerce in Edinburgh against the continuance of the impost were still adhered to, and to learn what the opinions of the people of Edinburgh were on the question of parliamentary reform. Mr. WIOIIAM rose, and remarking on the income tax, said, if he had a choice he would prefer to the abolition of this impost, the abolition of the probate and legacy duty, which, in its operation, was equally inquisitorial, unjust, and oppressive. With regard to the subject of the franchise he had never been able to go so far as some others. lie had watched the course of affairs in the United States, and lat terly he had had an opportunity of seeing a little of uni versal suffrage in Franco. From what ho there witnessed his conviction was that if ever they were to come to universal in this country it must be attained by degrees, and that slowly. Their first move ought to be to extend the fran chise only somewhat farther than it is now, and then see how it would work, for it was quite clear that if they once went too far it would be a difficult thing indeed ever to get back again. Ho had, therefore, very great doubts of the ex pediency Of universal suffrage, and he for one would unhesitatingly vote against it. As to the precise point to which the franchise should be extended, it was satisfactory to know the terms of commendation in which Lord John Russell had on more than one occasion referred to the sys tem of ios. freeholds. Ile thought it likely that the noble lord intended to give all the encouragement he could to that scheme ; and certainly matters here ought to be put en the same footing as in England, it that was so commend able. Here we have a 10/. franchise; in England it only *mounted to '2l. He had a very high opinion of that sys tem; and he hoped soon to ice something akin introduced bane ikoriand. (Hear, hear.) It was assuredly a most de sirable means not only of making people respectable merle ben of society, but of enabling them to pain the possession eg a little property. (Hear, hear.) This then was oac thing they should certainly propose to Mr. Joseph home and the emmery at large, that Ireland, England, and Scotland, ought le la put on the same footing as England with regard to these 405. freeholds. But if they were to be introduced, the, mug be hedged about so as to prevent that trickery In connexion with them which had been lately . going on among the 101. freeholders. If the system going on in noes counties of Scotland, of parties making fictitious pur shoes of land by means of bills, &c., was to be allowed to continue he would rather not have them at all. With re ference to the question of the franchise generally, he would be quite willing that persons paying 51. or trl. of rent should have the privilege of a vote ; and be thought mho that something ought to be done fur lodgers, among whom were many men of good income and intelligence. Beyond that, however, or something like it, he would not be disposed to go, unless, perhaps, the payment of an an nual assessment to the poor might be made the test of qui.- lideation, as this bespoke a man of some little standing sod anteaume. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M'LAREN believed that the object Mr. Hume had in view was more to pick up information than to enlighten them himself. Such, at least, was the inference he drew beat the mete received by Mr. Macfarlan. Ile, moreover, lately had ~lon, when from home, to see parties know ing pretty wall what is going on in the political would, and be believed that Mr. Hutne's mission was just one of any at present in progress. (Hear, hear.) The liberal halspendent members were seeking to enlighten the ge verameat as to what kind of reform bill the government should bring in, and they could only do that by ascertain 's, what the liberal electors thought would be, a sufficient .severe. He apprehended that Mr. Hume had been look log to Edinburgh as a place having taken great interest in the last reform movement, as many of them would emember, and it would naturally occur to him to know whst views they held as to what should be done at the =time. If Mr. Hume in the course of his journey that public opinion set in strongly in particular digestions, he would naturally impress these views on the l= nt, mid satisfy the members privately of the evi bag, that such opinions actually prevailed. Thus wait a lug gesseei feeling that the government were err a flak and honest measure of reform, and If sa to wthat the community did want a large and liberal measure they would be quite disposed to bring it ferward. He knew a great deal depended on what kind of bill wee brought forward, for if ministers put it too low the people would grumble, and the chances were, there would not be a strong feeling in its favour, end it might miscarry. (Hear, hear.) It was there- Jere of great consequence to assist Mr. Hume, and anybody else who took the trouble to inquire what the public opinion wits. There were various other points for essuideration besides those indicated by Mr. Wigham; for immiple, the question what should the county constituency racist of. Last session a vote was carried by a majority of lbe House of Commons, substituting a 10/. household sa bots, in place of the present 501. rate, which admitted te- IMMUot-will. Now the man who pays 501. for a small ams, was not in the same independent position as a trader =Ol. for a house; a farmer paying 501. a year did a not exceeding three or four times his }emsM il tere many men living in houses at 101., amiML, and 401., far more independent, wealthy, and saisaed, and these were those who were deprived of the baulaise bi u the present arrangement. Any reform bill, Minetbre,w 'eh was brought in must deal with that question, and Mr. Hume naturally desired to know what the reform Tarty inEdinburgh thought would be a right count) franchise. Then there was the ballot, which had already been carried twice by a majority in the House of Commons, for the pro tection of voters ' • many of them, perhaps, would not avail themselves of it, but, unfortunately, there were very many who were not so situated, and could be coerced in the exer cise of the legislative privilege. Then, these faggot voters Mr. Wigham had referred to, those having a mere nominal qualification, who did not pay anything for the property, but gave bills—all that intricate system should be abo lished, and every one should be forced to have an iefellnient on their properties, which would make people very slow in manufacturmg.these kinds of fictitious votes. He thought that on all these general questions their opinions should be brought to bear on Mr. Hume, is expectation of a large and liberal measure of reform being shortly introduced by the government. (Cheers.) Mr. RUSSELL said that it the opinions expressed by Mx. Wigham wen to go forth as the opinions of this meet ing. they would go a great way to prevent them from get , that any reform at all. Mr. Wigham was content with a amell goodie= of reform, but he (Mr. Russell) thought the way la get a liberal measure was to ark a large one. They nigh, foe example, express an opinion in favour of the measure Mr. Hume had more than once introduced into the House of Commons, comprehending household suffrage, ballot, and the other things Mr. M'Larcu had referred to. flees who did not go that length should, in his opinion, dos take that course as the most expedient one, because tin Mee they would ask the more they would get. PM bear.) M. WEIR did not consider this meeting an expression ors ewttiments of the inhabitants of Edinburgh, or even the amanntile portion of it. He understood the meeting air himonmil for the purpose of hearing an adder from ' the ham. Miler, and he thought Mr. Macfarlan should be Weesamunicate with Mr. Hume, that they would be la suet with him on Monday or any other day that wit his convenience. Mr. STOTT said that to regard the sentiments of this meeting as the expression of the opinion of Edinburgh, would certainly be equivalent to a fraud or something use • 6; 30 30 i 5 .1 1!!•1100 ii I 10 St. 1100 et. too it. He therefore moved the adjournment of the meeting till Ilonday. This wu without farther discussion agreed to, Mr. Mae - Arlan being instructed to communicate in the interim with the hon. gentleman. Tho meeting then separated.—Caledonian Mercury. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY.

The arrangements for the settlement of the account are pro ceeding satisfactorily. The " continuations" arc small, and in some cases a " haekwardation" has been paid, but the tendency of the rates for carrying over appears rising, as the jobbers find themselves with more stock than they had anticipated. The improv ing feeling of the market is rather unusual, concur rent with a rise in " contanes." Generally speak ing, speculative feeling seems in favour of a decline in price.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoca. Though the attendance of dividend receivers at the Bank to-day is restricted by the gloomy weather, there have been a good many cash transactions in the English funds; and with investments offering both on government and private account, prices are well supported at a gigh figure. Reduced Threes is the stock now selected _ for the operations of the National Debt Com missioners broker, which may be expected to continue with the scone regularity as heretofore on all public transfer days, till the expiration of the quarter, the daily purchases being of course restricted in amount so as to spread them equably over the entire period. This has been pay ' day in Consols, when the " differences " arising out of the month's account arc settled ; and the requisite arrangements appear to have been effected without further difficulty than tho solitary instance to which we alluded yesterday. The third edition of tho Daily News communicates the intelligence of the resignation t n masse of the French ministry, consequent upon the fixed deter mination of Louis Napoleon to repeal the law of May. The Paris Bourse, though agitated, closed yesterday rather higher, and no impression has been protTleed on prices here by the news, supported as they are by the usual money business of the season, but there can be little doubt that the anxiety preva lent in the French capital will be made a handle of by the " bears," evidences of a disposition to take up a line of operations in this direction having already been manifested. Consols have only varied from buyers to sellers at 914 both for money and account. Ihe present quo tation shows a rather wider margin than usual, being 961 . to 97. The offieid business list comprises the following, viz : Three per Cent. Consols, 9q, 97, On 97; ditto for account, 12th November, 961, ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 96, 96, ex div.; New 'lhree-and-a-Quarter per Cent., 971, aex div.; Bank Stock, 211 2121 cx div.; Long Annuities, 1860, 6!, 7 ; ditto 30 years, 18 5 9, 6i, 11-16; India Stock, 262. The floating debt is well supported at the late rise. Exchequer Bills of all classes have been dealt in at 48s. to 51s. prem., but in India Bonds only the smaller sizes have met with business at 51s. prem. In the foreign stock market the transactions have not been numerous, the settling attracting attention. The rates for carrying over rule at 3 to 6 per cent. on most descriptions, and on Mexican, at 4 per cent. on the amount, or 3-32 per cent. on stock. Prices present scarcely any change, but Venezuelan arc rather firmer. The fol lowing are the prices of actual bargains : Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 581 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 90;, 1 ex cliv. ; Equador, Grenada Deferred, 31. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Sardinian Scrip, 21., 21 die. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 20L I; ditto for account 31st October, 20 1 . Venezuela Two-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 311; ditto Deferred, 11. In last night's Go.lettr appeared the usual official notice from the National Debt-office, of the amount to be applied to the reduction of the debt between the 12th Oct. and the sth Jan., 18.12. In the Ex press of Monday we stated the amount available at 758,1961., which it appears did not include a sum of 2,138 k 10s. sd. interest on donations and bequests. The official statement gives the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, beyond the actual expenditure thereof, for the year ended the sth day of July, 1851," at 3,032,7841. 7s. sd. One fourth of this sum is 758,196/. lls. 10d., which, with the interest, makes a total of 760,328/. 2s. 3d. The application of this sum cannot fail to have a strength ening influence on the market. The discoveries of gold in Australia have produced great interest here, because it is evident gold work ing will, for the future, be carried on upon a very large scale. It therefore becomes a question of much importance how far capital can be legitimately and profitably employed in gold working. In the opera tions in the dry and wet diggings, curried on by rude labour, there seems little scope, and gold mining has hitherto been a very unproductive and unpromising business. The discovery of the quartz veins in California, andthe indications of them in New Holland, have, however, opened a new branch of gold working, and a new career for the capitalist. To crush the hard quartz rock, large and costly machinery is most effective, and this can only be provided by the intervention of the capitalist, the extractor of the quartz rock becoming a labourer or a tributer. Al ready some parties of respectability have engaged in the export of machinery to New Holland, and others have successfully introduced machinery , in Cali fornia, and obtained returns, but the chief venture is that about to be undertaken by the Agua Fria pro prietors. The quartz works of which they have got possession are ou the estate of Colonel Fremont, who, it is well known, has secured one of the best districts in California, the capabilities of which are so gene rally recognised that an unprincipled adventurer im posed on some parties here by pretending to sell them the estate. In the present case, however, there is no mistake, the lease having fallen into the hands of London capitalists, and a large remittance of gold-bearing quartz, valued at .3,0001., being lodged at their bankers'. 'ibis is a new mode of making a remittance, and one which is likely to be followed up, as according to the assays of the United States Mint, the Bank of England, and Messrs. Percival Johnson, the Agua Fria quartz contains about one-third weight of gold. Perhaps it will be found more prudent fur the company to remit the quartz than to reduce it by machinery on the spot. The Mariposa Company, who employ Cornish workmen, have quartz equally rich, and their shares are now sold at enormous prices on the New York Exchange. We think it by no means improbable that other large workings, besides those of Agua Fria and Mariposa , will be found, but that will not affect the holders of those properties, as they have an enormous mass of mineral in sight. Any one who has seen this quartz is by no means surprised at the richness of the river diggings in such districts, because the disintegration of the quartz leaves free such a large proportion of pure gold. The meeting to memorialise Lord Palmerston on behalf of the Egyptian railway was held to-day at the London Tavern, and was well attended by the merchants connected with Egypt, the East Indies, and the overland route. A full report will be found in another column. The United States authorities appear disposed to seize upon all available means to knit together their outlying territories on the frontiers of the Mexican Republic, a circumstance which is not without its significance when we consider the steady southerly tendency of the Anglo-Saxon spirit in those re gions. In addition to the improvements recently carried out under official patronage in the means of inter-communication in this quarter, the United States postmaster-general has entered into a contract for the transportation of a monthly mail between Santa Fe and San Elisario, vas El Paso and the intermediate points on the Rio Grande, a dis tance of 330 miles, and also for transporting a mail every ta o months between San Antonio and El Paw, which is a distance of about 660 miles. The public officers and inhabitants of New M exico and Western Texas will therefore have a mail from the cast monthly by way of Independence and Santa Fe, once every and San Antonio. mon It is probable probable that by r these ro utes we may occaisionally, obtain more d e finite in and two by of New Oleans telligenee as to the condition of the northern pro 'bees of Mexico. In the Monitors Toscano we have the official text of the treaty between the governments of Austria, Tuscany, Rome, Modena, and Parma, for uniting the Tuscan and Lombard railways,. and which affects English interests , inasmuch a s a junction is proposed with the lines of the Maria Antonia or Anglo-Italian Railway. The portion of the railway through the tads, up IL pa. goi 1 5 11 i 1 51 e 1117 111 141 13 papal territories is very short, but it is necess._ . effect the present combination, and as a basis for an extension of the railway system towards Ancona. The railway system proposed begins with two arms, one from Piacenza through Parma, and the other from Mantua, and which will unite at Iteggio, pro ceeding thence by Bologna to Pistoja or Prato in the Tuscan territories, where a union with the Tuscan railway system will be effected. The Tuscan govern ment undertake to complete the line between Pistoja and Lucca. It is proposed that the several lines shall be conceded to a company by contract, and that the governments shall give every support and assistance, not only by legislative powers, but by affording a guarantee. 'there is thus a practical step taken for the advancement of the railway system in Italy. ENOLIBU FUNDS.—Tine Per. Hank Stork. 211; 12/ lunz A aunt ti,, 3 per Ct.

There was no alteration in the value of either English or foreign Wheat this morning ; the limited amount of business transacted was at rates about equal to those of Monday last. The demand from the Rhine, for floating cargoes of Polish Odessa Wheat continues, but the limits are rather below the ideas of tho holders, and, consequently business has not vaulted. Barley, Beans, and Peas sold on much the same terms as last market day. The receipts of Oats have been moderate; neverthelecs, new were difficult of disposal, at former prices, but old were quite as dear. ..„—. .

To _lll3 EDITOR OP TURDAILT EXPRESS, Stn,—Your letters from a IthdlaudCounttesFartuer arc most Interesting. They unveil to us ignorant citizens some of the crafts of husbandry, and satiety us that the measure of free trade, so beneficial to us, has not been cruel and unjust to others, which we are now and then opt to fancy, when bewildered by the lamentations and garbled state ments of our country friends. But I should be glad to have your correspondent's opinion on a point which comes weekly before me. In my last bills I see fresh butter charged 16d. a pound. I have some diffi culty in obtaining it good at this price, and sumo of my neighbours pay as much as ltd. per pound. Now, my country friends, of whom I have many, all all assure me that they cannot get for the richest fresh butter—such, indeed, as few of us ever see in London— more than 10d. per lb. Is not fal. a lb. profit more than enough to cover all expenses, risks, and afford a great living remuneration to the farmer? The London market is now, by railways, brought to the doors of half the farmers of hngland. Yet here is a profit greater than is to be found in any other business in articles of first necessity and daily use. Could not tho farmer take a share of this inordinate gain, or step in and, by cutting out the middle-men, deal directly with us.? The farmer and the consumer are the two persons injured in this traffic. The one gets too low, the other pays too high a price ; less butter is used, fewer cows arc kept, the market is starved, and gearing lands are neglected. A few words from the Midland Counties Farmer on this mystery would much interest London, Oct. 14. A CITIZEN OF LONDON. ADMIRALTY, OCT. 14.—APPOINTMENT —Naval In structor : F. W. Fowler, to Did°.
