That upon receiving this information of her Majesty's intention front the Right. Hon. the Lord Mayor, in order that no time might be lost in pro ceeding with the arrangements for a due and suitable re ception for her Majesty, we referred it to the architect to consider the same, and to report to us the particulars in de tail, as far as the shortness of the time would permit his so doing, and we have since received a report from him, which is as follows: _ -- — large capital in canvas and paint—theatrical managers, who have been expecting to turn money from the doors; and brewers, who have brewed double their usual quantity of beef—arc directing their attention intently to the railway termini of London. The country visitors are to revolu tionise London trade. If they fiy hither on wings of purest gold they can barely realise all that is expected front them. They are to cram all the theatres, block up the approaches to Vauxhall and Cremorne, clear all the bonnets from all the bonnet shops, drain the establishment of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins to the dregs, rush with irresistible voracity into the cook-shops, crowd about Jerusalem and Australia, make the grand tour, besiege the Chinese lady, pour in a continuous stream round the globe, and perform other feats. How far these anticipations will be realised is • question of debate in every quarter of London. Meantime, while awaiting the arrival of the provincial masses the City authorities have been busy, entertaining the dignitanes of the Exhibition ; and rumours of a great banquet, to be given by British exhibitors to their foreign competitors, are prevalent in the Great Building. Such an entertainment would undoubtedly meet with • cordial re-, ception, and create a general feeling of sympathy among the exhibitors of all nations. It might smooth those asperities , which rivalry engenders, and lead individual exhibitors to receive the judgments of the jurors in a perfectly liberal spirit; it is therefore to be hoped that the scheme will be earned out. Even now alterations are going forward in the interior of the Building. Mr. Hope's jewels, for instance, have only been finally placed in the eastern nave within this week ; and at intervrls the casual observer still notices men moving about with little models and other articles in their anus.

At the next Court of Common Council, Alderman Copeland is to bring for ward a motion, " that a sum nut exceeding 5,000/. be voted from the City cash to purchase some of the works of art in the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations adapted for the decoration of the City of London." MACUINE-WROVGIIT LACE.—TheNuitingharn 3fer coley says There has been during the last few days a good deal of excitement among the late manufacturers in this town, arising out of a suspected difference of opinion among the jurors of Class XIX —textile fabrics—in the Great Exhibition, as to the propriety or impropriety of prises being awarded to the best specimens of the various classes of rods arranged under the same general term ; and, principally, we may say, in reference to Nottingham Lee. Certain of the jurors, so far as we understand the ease, object to award prises for merit to machine-wrought' lace, distinct from lace produced by other means. Viewing all the specimens exhibited but as lace, they profess them selves unable to see why a difference should be made be tween lace made on the cushion and by the machine, ma tending that it is °sly the best of the whole speciamoseffiffik are entitled to the mime of merit, and not the lout et respective classes of psis; • decision about as wire lawlemid be that of persons impleyed to decide ulna die merits of fabricated books. meloileed that because um illaadmated XBl., vide MI oast be= las large ems dummy.

It may be interesting to record that this brilliant marble comes from mines in the Ural Mountains. The agitation for the further reduction of the price of admission is beginning to make itself heard. This agitation admits of much to be said on both aides. It is asserted by the upholders of the shilling admission fee that all who can afford to visit London can afford to pay their shilling ; but the fact has been lost sight of that it is a question of four shillings, since the sturdiest mechanic could not pretend to examine the contents of the Glass Palace in less time than four days. Therefore it becomes the duty of the Executive to consider whether or not weekly tickets might not be issued to shilling visitors every Monday, to admit throughout the four consecutive shilling days of the week, fur two shillings and sixpence or three shillings. A mechanic arriving in town with a wife and two children, for instance, if he had determined upon fully examining the Exhibition, would be called upon to disburse sixteen shillings in admission charges. This sum is undoubtedly a heavy one fur the weaver of the present time to pay for amusement, even of the most attractive and instructive character. On 3londay—a great holiday among the working classes —the building will, in all probability, receive a larger number of visitors than it has yet contained at one time ; and the Executive will probably be called upon for the first ' time to dezbire the Palace full before the day is far advanced. The quiet and order which have marked the arrival and departure of the hundreds of thousands who have already visited Mr. Paxton's house, are guarantees of the capacity on the part of the authorities to deal with muses of the people, as well as of the cheerfulness and decorum with which the great bulk of the English people can congregate and disperse. _ _ 2900 outingencies and sundries ,500 " • Haeing,since yourlast meeting, been deeply engaged in the various important matters pending in the corporation, I have had but little time to devote to this affair; neverthe less, I have given it much thought, and all the considera tion in my power, and sin fully satisfied that, to render the entertainment fitting the peculiar occasion, the sum above named is moderate; Mr it must be borne in mind that we have nothing but bare walls and roof, a large portion of the heavy flooring having to be made ; and it must be admitted that the emblems of war hitherto forming the decoration, must be entirely omitted on au occasion like this, which has for its object the encouragement of universal peace and goodwill among nations.-1 have the honour to be, gentle men, your obedient servant, J.

This lack of company was uo doubt I mainly attributable to the Queen's drawing-room and the ether attractions attendant on the celebration of her Ma- iesty'r, birth-day. Monday was perhaps the greatest day yet known. By one o'clock 34,500 persons had entered, and before the close, 42,460 had paid at the doors. This day WAS further distinguished by the fact that between 400 and 500 of the exhibitors had been desired to attend in order to afford any explanations which might be required of them by the Queen, who spent some time iu the south gallery on the west side of the transept, asking ♦arious questions of the attendants.

THE PROPOSED ENTERTAINMENT TO PRINCE ALBERT, AND THE ROYAL COMMIS SIONERS AT BIRMINGHAM. OnWethtemlay,at noon, meeting of the committee ro of managemeat of the ppoied Matertammeist to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Rayed Commissioners, and the Executive Committee of the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, was held in the committee room of the Town Hall, Birmingham, to receive a report from the mayor noon the subject. There was a numerous attendance of gentle men who are not members of the committee. The mayor presided, and stated that he enclosed to Colonel Grey, Equerry to Prince Albert, • copy of the resolution; passed at the former meeting, and requested that a deputation might be permitted to wait upon his Royal Highness upon the subject to which they related. In consequence of the court going down to Otborne, some considerable delay took place in the reply, which was in the following terms: " Buckingham Palace, May 28, 1851. Bm,—l have had the honour of receiving, andilf sub raining to his Royal Highness Prince Albert your letter of the 24th instant, with the accompanying copy of resolu tions passed at the meeting of exhibitors, &c., held at Bir mingham on the 21st instant. No ono can rejoice more sincerely than his royal highness at the success which has so far attended the Exhibition, and he is much grati fied by the kind mention made by you of the part taken by him in promoting that undertaking. It is, therefore,with much regret that his royal highness finds himself unable to accept an invitation conveyed to him in so gratifying and flattering a manner; but the nature of his pre sent engagements, and the answer which he has already given to other bodies who have proposed to confer upon him a similar mark of attention, make it impossible for his royal highness to avail himself of it. Under these circumstances, his royal highness com mands me to add, that he will not give the proposed depu tation from Birmingham the trouble of leaving home, unless, indeed, they should wish to see him on any other subject, when his royal highness will be happy to receive them. "I hare the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " William Lucy, Esq. " C. Guts." The Mayor proceeded to observe that he had seen members of the royal commission and of the executive committee in London, and had endeavoured to ascertain their sentiments as to the manner in which the town could best manifest its sense of their services, and also extend its hospitality, if possible, to the illustrious and eminent foreigners who are now on a visit to this country. The feeling of those whom he consulted appeared to be that a studied and formal public dinner, at which 100 or 150 foreigners might sit for four or five hours , listening to speeches of which they were unable to understand a word would be a very undesirable arrangement. Earl Granville, who must be regarded as occupying the next place to the prince in the royal commission, suggested that the parties to whom it was intended to show a mark of re spect would much prefer coining to Birmingham, and seeing some of the manufactories; and that they might be received et the Town-hall, where votes of thanks in acknowledgment of public services might be passed, and a hearty welcome be tendered to the foreign visitors. Refreshments, it was added, might be provided, and the Botanic Gardena visited by such as were so disposed, but that no further expense need be in curred. A question ik AS at the same time raised as to the parties who would be likely to come to Birmingham on such an occasion as the one in question, and he was presented with a list of the names of about MID persons, English and foreign, all of whom were to be entertained at a conversazione given by the Lord Mayor of London on that (NV ednesday) evening. It was, however, probable, that not more than half of them would accept the invitation. A number of the Royal Commissioxers would conic, and Lord Granville said that nothing but what was of a very urgent nature should prevent his coming, and that others entertained similar feelings upon the subject. In pursuance of these suggested arrangements, should they be carried out, a file might be arranged to take place at the gardens, or if the weather was unfavourable Ilingley Hall would be available, and the entertainments might then be par ticipated in, not only by the foreigners themselves but by their wives or such other members of their families as they had brought over with them. lie might observe further that he had issued circulars to various manufacturers, inquiring whether the proposed visit to their establishments would be acceptable, and from eight or ten he had received favourable answeis. Ile had also received a number of letters approving generally of the object they had in view. On the motion of Mr. Blows, seconded by Mr. John Lowe, a committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements ; and in compliance with a suggestion that the price of admission should be as low as possible, a sub scription towards a guarantee fund was entered into. It was stated that in case the sale of tickets did not cover the expenses, the subscribers would be called upon pro rata to MAC up the deficiency. The sum tendered at the meet ' lug amounted to 1821. EXCURSION TRAINS. The excursion trains and club lisits will now at once begin to swell the concoarse in Hyde Park. On 'Thursday a club of nearly 500 persons, chiefly small tradesmen, farmers' labourers, and others in poor circumstances, with their fa milies, inhabitants of the parish of Harlow, Cambridge shire, were conveyed from thence in a special train to Lon don, for the purpose of seeing the Exhibition. They paid single fares for the double journey. On the arrival of the party they were conveyed to Hyde Park in vans, the journey being contracted for at 6d. each. A special train, which consisted of about a dozen carriages, nearly all filled, also came from Enfield, calling at Edmonton, Tottenham, and other intermediate stations. The directors of the com pany gave notice a few days since that for the benefit of the poor a train would start ou Thursday (yesterday) at parlia mentary prices. AN APPEAL FOR A HOLIDAY. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Sir,—l have seen in the public journals that the employers of large bodies of workmen aro about to pay the expenses of the latter to enable them to go and see the Gnat Exhibition ; 1 have also seen notices that bodies of men employed by government departments are about to have similar favours grunted them. I have not seen, how ever, any notice that the thousands of poor employes in the Poet-office department are to have any assistance in seeing the greatest sight the world ever witnesses!. The majority of these poor employsS fu the country could not, without special leave, have time to witness the Exhibition; and, if they had time, could not afford, from the lowness of their salaries, to go to London.

Joynsen, paper-manufacturer of St. Mary Cray, Kent, defrayed the expenses incurred by 160 of his workmen, in visiting the Crystal Palace, and also paid them for their day's work. Ile, also, gave 300 of the females engaged in the factory, a holiday, and allowed them full wages.—Messrs. Garrett and Son, the well-known agri cultural engineers, of Leiston Works, Suffolk, have pro posed that every workman and boy above fifteen years of age in their employ should spend a week in London during tie Exhibition. Two vessels have been fitted up with bertha, cooking apparatus, and every requisite, and a steam tag has been hired to tow 'he whole party from Aldborough to , The masts will be taken out of the vessels, so that they may be towed under the bridges, and moon ed at the Westminster-wharf, near Vauxhall-bridge. The board of the party is to be of the old English character. Four bullocks and ten pigs, slaughtered, will form part of the freight of this novel and interesting flotilla. Plum pud ding will be provided each day, and each man will receive two pints of porter per diem. The foreman will come up IC I with the men, and superintend them during their stay, and see that they return to their lodgings at proper hours. In addition to visiting the Exhibition, means will also be plated at the disposal of the men to enable them to visit other places of recreation anckamusement in the metropolis. Messrs. Thorne, the brewers, have liberally placed their wharf at the d isposal of the party. A HOLIDAY.—The directors of the Great Western Railway having resolved to allow to each of the officers, clerks, and servants on the establishment of this company leave ofabsence for four days, to visit the exhibition,and• free I pass to and from London for that purpose, to be need at some period during the months of July, August, or Septogo her, the superintendents of the London and Bristol &M- I 'ions, and the heads of departments, are required to make out a list of all in their respective districts or offices, wing to each person a particular date and period of leavlcl Ci"absence, which is to be mainly determined by the insure eli the service. The arrangement for leave must of eo amnia as, in every instance , to the proper per foresaw* of every duty, and due caution for the safety of trains, &e., the numbers leaving at any time being limited, so that others may undertake their duties during their theses.

RATING OF TILE GREAT EXHIBITION TO TIIE RE LIEF, OF THE POOLL—YESTETday a very crowded meeting of the inhabitants of St. Margaret's and St. John's, West minstcr,was held in the vestry room for the purpose of making a poor rate for the ensuing year. Mr. Burridgc was in the chair. —The Chairman stated that a sum of about 2b,4001. would be required ter the purpose, and that a rate of 2a in the pound would leave a surplus of about 3410/.—Mr. Sher lock wished to know if the amount asked fur included any rating of the Crystal Palace.—Mr. Rogers, the vestry clerk, replied that it did not —Mr. Bigg, one of the overseers, said the matter was attended with a great deal of difficulty. They had seen the commissioners on the subject and had been received most courteously, but they could obtain no definitive answer. They had, however, subsequently had • letter from Mr. Manic, the solicitor to the treasury, stating in effect that the Exhibition was nut rateable to the poor rate, and that the commissioners could not be held responsible for it. The overseers had had counsel's opinion and that was that the Exhibition was not liable to the poor's rate. Mr. Clark wished to know if the parties who sold refreshments were not rateable ? The vestry clerk said unquestionably they were, if it could be proved their's was a beneficial occupation, by deriving profit from what they sold—a very difficult thing to establish. lie was satisfied that., if the crystal palace was rated, they should get into litigation, in which half of the rate would be expended, even if they succeeded, but they might get nothing. Mr. Bigg observed there was another clement in the matter, which ought not to be overlooked. It would bring great obloquy on the parish if rids rate were persisted in, more especially on the officers who enforced it. It would besides lead to enormous law costs, and the overseers had thought it better to proceed no further. A BATTLE AT A PIC-NIC is thus described by the Cork Reporter :—" We understand that, on Thursday 'an occurrence of an unpleasant nature, in which some military gentlemen were involved, took place at a pic-nic party in the beautiful demesne of Coolmore. The particulars, as far as we could gather them, arc as follows :—On the above day, a party of ladies and gentlemen set out front this city to par take of a pic-nic, at the locality above named, and after the dinner had been enjoyed, some of them were engaged in a quadrille, when they were abruptly intruded on by some infantry officers, who were each furnished with a Havannah. These gentlemen, it appears, had been dining in another part of the demesne, and were attracted to the other party by the sounds of merriment which proceeded from them, and to which they were desirous to contri bute. On arriving at the festive scene, notwithstanding the presence of the ladies, they stood coolly puffing about their smoke. The odour was unwelcome, and so were the smokers. Accordingly an intimation to this effect was politely, but unmistakeably given to the intruders, who, however, would neither relinquish their cigars nor with draw. Their perseverance in the nuisance called forth a more decided remonstrance, and they were informed that their conduct was " ungentlemenly," whereupon they mingled among the dancers, and one of them, whether de signedly or not we cannot say, jostled against a lady. The act,:or accident, it may have been, was, however, regarded as a premeditated outrage, and the civilians immedi ately turned on the military gentlemen, and admini stered pretty severe chastisement. Some of the sons of Man were stretched on the green sward, and ono , of them, we have heard, carries about with him at pre sent a rather unpleasant mark of the conflict in the shape of a black eye. How the battle terminated we do not know precisely, but we understand that a brother offi cer, who was not engaged in it, opportunely came up, and drew his friends from the field. The matter was not likely to have ended at this point, as it was the intention of the . "mere citizens" to lay it all before the Horse Guards; but an appeal having been made to them, on behalf of the mill i tary gentlemen, they consented to forego such a proceeding, and receive a proper apology, which we have reason to be . Mies has by this tame been made. Although our informant has communicated to us the names of all the parties con cerned in this awkward affair, we refrain giving them, as it • could serve no good purpose. We trust the matter will . now be allowed to rest, and for our own part we would not s have alluded to it at all, but that we were anxious to pre vent exaggerated accounts of It going before the public."
