Parker, era mad Boom West Strsad. he visitor to the International Exhibition will find the space of the building divided equally between the English and the foreign exhi bitors—the colonial exhibitors sharing the space given to the British side. The industrial part of the Exhibition is arranged in thirty-six classes, under the general heaths of raw materials, ma chinery, and manufactures ; and these classes are filled by about 25,000 exhibitors, 18,000 coming from the leading foreign states, 2,000 from the English colonies and possessions, and 5,000 from the United Kingdom. In 1851, the English exhi bitors were much more numerous; but, owing to the bad management of the trade committees in apportioning the space, they show a falling off of twenty-five per cent., while the foreign and colonial exhibitors have increased threefold. _ pnrvioun data %WO - 14211,0a3 Total 8,468 1e6,703 In Class one, the department for mining, quarry ing, metallurgy, and mineral products—which is under the management of Mr. Robert Hunt, F.R.B. —the commercial motive to exhibit is weaker than in any other class. The transport of the specimens has been costly, and few of the exhibitors can ex pect any reward except thanks for having contri buted to an instructive and interesting collection. Although the Exhibition of 1862 does not ex hibit such a complete collection of iron ores as the industry of Mr. S. Blackwell brought together in 1851, yet most of the new discoveries, and they are many and important, find a place. The iron ores of Weardale, those of Cleveland, and the recent discoveries of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the remarkable deposits of Lincolnshire, those of the Midland Counties, and the best examples from Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, form an interest ing series. Coal specimens are abundant. There is scarcely a useful seam from which an example has not been sent. In 1851 there were some gigantic blocks, many of them of little interest, but cubical pieces of about 18 inches are now the rule. In metallurgy, the examples of iron are mime rous, and, at the same time, as nearly all varieties of pig iron are to be found in the Exhibition, there are some of the most remarkable examples of rolled iron that have ever yet been shown. Rails from 60 to upwards of 100 feet in length, without a weld ; bars of remarkable size and length ; sheets of iron of most unusual dimensions ; and armour plates which have resisted the battering power of Armstrong's guns, are there; with cranks, one weighing above 25 tom, and beams of singular size and strength, which prove the capabilifse of British forges. The specimens of gold from Devonshire and Wales will probably be general objects of interest. Two monolithic obelisks, belonging to this depart ment, are erected as trophies in the nave—one made of Cheeeewring granite 27 feet high ; the other made of grey granite from the Ross of Mull, 35 feet high. In the mineral court there are also a beautiful serpentine obelisk, 15 feet high ; a fine collection of Derbyshire marbles, principally black and a few fluor-spar ornaments, the celebrated fluor-spar being nearly exhausted. One exhibitor has sent a richly inlaid table that may be regarded as a perfect work of art, while other exhibitors have contributed fine examples of Florentine work in British stones.

The fine art exhibition of pictures, drawings, statues, and models, is an addition to the industrial display, and a copy of the plan adopted at Paris in 1856. On the English side there will be about 2,000 works of art, most of them being modern, and none of them being older than 1762, the limit fixed by the Exhibition Commissional ; and on the foreign side there will be an equal display, ranging over various periods of art, no limit having been fixed, except on the British side.

Ow able wersiees-Aar, weed-watt tater portions bad been separately rehearsed in Exeter hall. On this occasion the whole was given in the alternating continuity so well calculated to lend it the highest charm, and in the building itself, where it will this day be finally performed. About eleven o'clock orders were given to the hundreds of workmen employed throughout the edifice to desist from their noisy labours ; and as this could not in many cases be done in a moment, it was some little time before the clang of the hammer and the heavy fall of the lever ceased to echo through the aisles. Then for a brief season huge cases were suffered to lie half opened ; statuary might be seen oddly perked on tempo rary resting places half way up to its appointed pedestal ; and vases, candelabra, and bronzes lay half uncovered in seemingly perilous confusion, while those who had been all the morning en gaged in their distribution gathered slowly round the steps leading to the foot of the grand orchestra. Among the two or three hundred visitors by grace especial we noticed the Grand Duchess of Mecklen burgh Strelitz, the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Mary, the Duke of Cambridge and some of the officers of his ataffi Lady Palmerston, the Dukes of Sutherland and Leinster, Lady Suffield, Lords Lansdowne Granville, Stanley of Alderley, Beesborough, Unlever, Ac. The orchestra is arranged in a semi-circular form, and occupies three aides of the octagon that supports the eastern dome. The seats rise from the floor nearly to the summit of the mass of pillars which define the form of this portion of the building, and when filled by hundreds of musicians and of singers presented a very striking spectacle. A few minutes after 12, M. Costa arrived, fol lowed by M. Salami, both of whom were cor dially greeted. But the oration of the day was reserved for M. Meyerbeer, whose appear a*e was the signal for a hearty and prolonged demonstration from both audience and performers. The gifted composer was evidently much gratified by this spontaneous outburst of admiration for his genius, and showed the warmest interest in every part of the performance, as well as that to which his own pen bad so felicitously contributed. It was nearly half-past twelve before thepreluding roll of the drums Milled the busy hum of voices, and announced that the first notes of the initiatory music were about to be heard. The National Anthem was then sung, each verse in a different key, and the choruses sus tained by the full strength of the instrumental performers. We cannot say that we have not heard it more impressively given elsewhere. There was no leading voice that reminded us of that of Clara Novello • and we fancied that the entire was pitched too high. Then followed the beautiful composition of M. Meyerbeer. Towards the close of the second movement N. Coats, who led, not being altogether satisfied with the way in which it was given, required that por tion to be performed over again. This was done with increased spirit and animation • and at the close the hearers importunately expre ssed their de sire to hear the march once more. It is the best praise that can be bestowed on such a composition to say that it improves on rehearing. The fine ca dences and subtle transitions that we listened to wistfully at first, fall upon the ear the second time with all the pleasure of recogni tion ; for though we knew them not half-an-hour ago, there is that about them which strikes us as though they were familiar on re petition. Such is the power of expression ' the same in music as in paiuting—athing not to be explained by analysis or described by any ingenuity of words. Next came Professor Bennett 's music written for the Laureate's Ode of Inauguration, regarding the merits of which our opinion has already been expressed. This likewise was encored, and, after the demand had been complied with, there came Auber's magnificent "Marche Triomphale," which elicited the most enthusiastic applause. Its specific fitness for the occasion shone out conspicuously ; and everyone who listened was delighted. Every The collection of sculpture, medals, and intaglios will be au important addition to the fine art section. For the first time perhaps in the history of such ex hibitions, scalptneeholdeapromilmntand recognised position side by side with painting. For many years at the Royal Academy it was thrust into an ill lighted room, the most appropriate inscription for which would have been that well-known line from Horace, " The perfection of art is to conceal art.." Here it has been carefully arranged about the building, to add to the general effect of the dis play, with the exception of one room devoted to the productions of deceased sculptors. This room con talus fine examples of Beula h Amman, Chantrey, Westmacott, and Wyatt. All the modern artists have come forward to exhibit, and the result is that we have a fine collection, numbering about 120 statues of different sizes, forty or fifty busts, and twenty or thirty bas-reliefs. Mr. Gibsou's celebrated tinted " Venus, which has been for some years past the admiration of foreign connoisseurs, is lent by its owner to the Commissioners of the International Exhibition. The judges of art will thus have an opportunity of deciding for themselves whether colour enhances the beauty of sculpture. It is erroneously supposed that Mr. Gibson has tinted his statues to represent life, whereas he has only endeavoured by colour to soften the general effect, and to give :the appearance of ivory, a material much used by the ancients. Apart from the ooldur, this statue is undoubtedly the finest work of modern sculpture. The collection :of British etchings and engravings is divided into two sections, the first containing the works of deceased, and the second those of living engravers. The former is divided into etchings, line engravings, mezzotiuts, stipple, and wood. The arrangement of each subdivision is a chronological one, not calculated according to the dates of the births or deaths of the artists, but as nearly as pos sible on the times when their principal works were published. The number of these represented is 84; their engravings are about 450, and they occupy 327 frames. They are, with few exceptions, early proof impressions of the very highest quality. The etchings do not call fur any especial remark; but among the line engravings will be found the most celebrated works of klogarth (those engraved entirely by himself), Browne, Woollett, fir R. Strange, W. Sharp, the Heaths, Raimbach, the Cooker, and others of nearly equal importance. The mezzotints are peculiarly interesting, and the wonderful productions of M'Ardell, hither, Dixon, Harlow, J. R. Smith, V. Green, and others, are sufficient to prove the unrivalled excellence of the British school in this branch of art. The sections of stipple and wood engravings include many of the beet specimens of Bark,loszi, Simard, Coflyer, &riven, Bewick, Clennell, Wil liams, Arc. The department of living engravers is similarly subdivided, with an additional section of litho graphs, but the arrangement of each subdivision is an alphabetical one. It contains about 300 works, by sixty-eight engravers, which fill nearly 180 frames. With very few exceptions, the proofs are contributed by the artists themselves. The foreign display of paintings, drawings, en gravings, sculpture, and intaglios is numerically as strong as the British exhibition. The space ac corded to it, as we have before said, is equal to the British space, and is quite as well filled with a fine art exhibition chiefly of the modern school, gathered from all the leading cities of the world. France leads off with about 200 oil paintings— specimens of the great French school by about 190 artists ; nearly 40 water-colour pictures, the works of shout 20 artists ; 60 groups of sculpture, by about 44 artiste ; and about 130 engravings, litho graphs, and architectural drawings. In oil paint ings it sends six specimens of Paul Delaroohe, five WEATHER. RILPORT.—{THIS DAY.) 1111131643 T , May 1. 3 &IL 46. & M. D. 1. Q L Z. & ——— Nam........ 1080 66 61 &W.

Switzerland sends more than 100 oil pictures by about fifty artiste, amongst which are fifteen speci mens of Jule* Hilbert, with a few pieces of sculp ture and engravings. Belgium contributes about 113 oil paintings by ifty-three artists, about twenty-six groups of sculpture by sixteen artists, and two engravings. It has sent nine pictures by L. Gallait and eight by Madou. The great German school of painting is well represented by the Zollrerein and other German states. Prussia has sant nearly 200 works of art in architectural designs, oil paintings, sculpture, and engravings, which are the productions of about 120 artiste. Berlin and Dusseldorf have each sent a fine collection of paintings, and the engravings hermlhe former place are choice and numerous. Amon get the .sw.lpture from Berlin is a case of medals by Carl Fischer. Only one specimen has been sent of Peter Von Cornelius, and two of Oswald Achenbach ; and amongst the oil paintings !from Dusseldorf is • series of eleven pictures by Heinrich Maras, representing the life of St. Meinrad. In sculpture Robert Caner and Gustav Eichler have sent the greatest number of groups, and most of the works of art from Prussia generally are exhibited by the artists. Bavaria has seat about forty-four works of art, chiefly oil paintings, by about twenty-seven artists, amongst which sire seven pictures by Carl Wilhelm MALL Saxony is represented by 'boat peat' peistfiwgs, desseelnws,_ and Siisps • sculpture ; the Grand Duchy of Baden has sent a small fine art collection ; and the Duchy of Bruns wick, Frankfort-on-the-Maine, the Electorate of Hesse, the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Wurtemburg are represented by about forty works of art, the productions of about thirty artists. North Germany and the Hamm Towns have also sent a small collection ; Hamburg having contri buted about twenty works by about twelve artists. Amongst these are three pictures by F. Reimer dinger ; one being a picture of fairy life from a tale by L. Tieck, and three pictures by B. Mobrhagen. The Austrian school, as it is called, is represented by about eighty oil paintings, sixteen water-colour pictures, nineteen pieces of sculpture, five engrav- Inge, and about ten architectural sketches. These are the works of about ninety-seven artists. Holland exhibits about 120 oil paintings by fifty nine artiste, and two engravings. Amongst the pictures are seven by D. Bles and eight by P. Van Schendel. The Spanish school, as it is called, is represented by about twenty-three artists and thirty works of art in oil painting, sculpture, and engraving. Velasquez and Munllo are only represented by the engravers. Russia sends more than a hundred works of art by about sixty artists. Eighty of them are oil paintings, five are groups of sculpture and medals, three are architectural sketches, and seventeen are engravings. Amongst them is a collection of forty seven medals exhibited by the Academy of Fine Arts of St. Petersburg, and a monument repre senting the Empress Catherine IL, by Felix Cho pin. The earliest picture exhibited is one by Anthony Lodsuiko, who died in 1773 ; and there are seven specimens of Axenfeldt, and five portraits by Leritaky Demetrius. Italy, as may naturally be expected, is well re presented in the fine art classes. About forty ar chitectural designs of various degrees of merit by about thirty artists, and eighty oil paintings and drawings by about sixty artists, form the display of pictures. About seventy groups of statuary and busts.—some of them by English artiste—have been sent in the sculpture class ; and the engrav ings reach at least fifty, by about twenty-two en gravers. a G. Battista and Luigi Marchesi are represented by the most numerous specimens amongst the paintings ; and the engravings include twelve plates by Luigi Calamatts of Rome, and some works by Guieeppe Loughi, Raffaelle Morg hen, and Leonardo de- Vinci Rome has sent about fifty-seven pieces of sculp ture, by about thirty-six artists, including eight specimens of G. M. Benzoni ; a great number of valuable cameos, a few fino drawings, a good many engravings, a mall collection of medals, and a large collection of mosaics by seventeen artists, in cluding a contribution from the Vatican. Its oil paintings number about forty-five, by about twenty four artists, chiefly modern painters'. Norway is represented by about sixty works of art by about twenty-one artists. Amongst some fifty oil paintings are nine specimens of Boe—pic- 1 tures of flowers, fruit, birds, and jewellery—six landscapes by Gude, and eleven specimens of Tide mand—figure pictures, in two of which the land scapes are painted by the former artist. Several portraits in ivory are in the small collection of sculpture. Sweden is represented by about forty works of art in oil painting and sculpture by about 24 artiste- The rustic scenes of J. F. 1 1 ~ kert and Miss A. Lindegrin are the most numerous amongst the pictures. Denmark has sent about 110 works of art by about 64 artists, including six groups of sculpture by Thorwaisden and five by J. A. Jerichau. Amongst the oil paintings E. Jerichau is the artist most largely represented. For the first time, perhaps, in the history of all exhibitions, Turkey fills a place as an exhibitor of pictures. Five paintings have been aunt by M. Paul Musurus Bey, and they comprise portraits and sketches of still life. The artist is the son of the Russian Commissioner, and is only twenty years of Greece has sent two oil paintings, five groups of sculpture, and eight engravings—the works of about fifteen artists ; and the lonian Islands are represented by about twelve pictures, the produc tions of seven artists. The sculpture from Greece consists chiefly of statues by L. and G. Phytale. The American fine art display is small, number ing about a dozen pictures and engravings, the chief of which is Mr. Cropsey's " Autumn on the Hudson." THE INDUSTRIAL DISPLAY. The magnitude of the Industrial Department is shown by the fact, that of the applications made in the British section, ten thousand in number, all but two thousand are included in it. The demands of the eight thousand industrial would-be exhibitors, if they had been complied with, would have swallowed up seven times the contents of the building, and therefore even the most sensitive exhibitor will admit that a little cutting down was necessary. The result of the winnowing has been that nearly 5,500 British in dustrial exhibitors have been chceen, underthe divi sions in the following table, to occupy about 388,700 square superficial feet of horizontal space, including passages : S - ECIION L-RAW MATERIALS. ♦pproalmate Approximate No. of Exhibitors.

Class three, consisting of food products, includ ing beverages and tobacco, is well represented by several well-known firms. Many, however, have hung back, fearing that although the general public were well contented to consume these substances in the ordinary way, yet they might not care to see them ranged on counters as specimens for exhibi tion. The collections of dried fruits, tea, coffee, and cocoas, show that by the exercise of a little taste and judgment these substances can be made as gratifying to the eye and mind as they are to the palate. Although somewhat uninteresting to look at, the specimens of preserved meat are very nume rous, and indicate how much the trade in this article has increased of late years. A pig cured whole forms a prominent object in this department. Series of specimens, contributed by various exhibi tory, illustrate the process of sugar-refining in a very complete and interesting manner. Great brewers strive for mastery not only in the quality of their beers, but in the ingenious way they have each adopted for showing this article. Handsome eases of pickles and preserves, and cases of confeo tionery, form conspicuous objects, round which the younger portion of the visitors to the building will form longing groups. The collections of corn and seeds will afford valuable information to the foreign and colonial agriculturists. Class four consists of animal and vegetable sub stances used in manufactures. The large tallow and soap series of products are well represented. These are very important branches of British manufac ture, and we have every reason to be proud of the display made. The perfumery stalls, with their tasteful decorations, will form points of attraction for lady visitors, more especially as there are several beautifully designed scent fountains in full play. Further down we oome to some exquisite specimens of ivory turning ; and the wax-flower show, which exceeds in extent any that has hitherto taken place, will be one of the lions of the Exhibition. Some grateful specimens of basket-work will surprise even our French friends, who have carried this manufacture to such perfection. The three first classes are under the management of Mr. C. W. Quin, F.C.S. Classes five, seven, eight, and ten—comprising railway plant, looomotive engines and carriages, manufacturing machines and tools, machinery in general, and civil engineering architectural and building oontrivanoes—are under the management of Mr. D. K. Clark, C.E. The fiat three classes, which include machinery in motion and at rest, are exhibited in the western annexe. This department is substantially fitted up to provide steam power, and the means of transport for heavy materials. A single line of railway runs from end to end on each side ; six doable-flue boilers, thirty feet long by six feet and a half in diameter, are built in at the north end, communicating with a chimney which is seventy-five feet high, and which has a diameter of ten feet at the base. Two hundred elegant iron columns, of the Doric enter, have been raised at intervals ten feet apart, sad ten feet high above the floor, supporting two thousand feet of shafting, two inches and a half in diameter. Two thousand feet of steam pipe, having a graduated diameter from fifteen to eight inches, are laid down in • bricked subway, or pipe culvert, aide by aide with two thousand feet of exhaust pipe, eighteen inches in diameter.
