The contractors for the great building seem during the last week to have awakened from 'bat looked very much like a trance. Spurred on by commissioners, superintendents, clerks, exhibitors, public opinion, and a regard for their own repute tiou, they have made gigantic strides towards com pleting their overdue task. The division of labour and the pressure of work bays now become more apparent them they ever were to the visitor, simgly because they are concentrated on fewer points. Scaffold poles sad timbers seem to drop like thawed icicles from the unfinished trensepta. The flooring in the nave and the northern courts seems to slide out over the ground like an iron shutter; and the painters, under the energetic direction of Mr. Orme, lay OD their colours and ornamentation with more than same-painting rapidity. The spacious picture gallery for British art, the length of which eim only be fairly measured by walking through it, hes been decorated, and well decorated, in two keg working days. The dome scaffold at the east ✓ind is being pulled down—the painting of that eirmular part of the building being com pleted, and the scaffolding of the western dome will begin to disappear at the end of the week. Mr. Ashton., the superintendent of the iron work within the building, has constructed a timber elide, somewhat like the onoe-oelebrated slide of Alp nach, and down this the disengaged timbers will glide from roof to floor with a rapidity not to be attained by ropes and pulleys. We are sorry to have to re cord another workman's death to-day, making ten fatal accidents since the commencement of the building. The arrivals of goods are still not numerous, partly owing to the backward state in which many of the home manufacturers find themselves. Dublin has delivered a small cargo, and the model of the screen of Hereford Cathedr al has come in, but the British departweut can only boast possession of about half-a-dozen cases up to the . present time. In the Foreign Department the Rumen collection has ' partly been delivered, along with some twenty cases of Frankfort furniture, and nearly all the .oreign commisaioners. When the rush of goods in this department comes on, a uumber of temporary holes will be knocked out in the Cromwell-mad wall, ander the picture galleries, where the cases will be pat through with as much speed as possible. At present the courts under the British picture gallery are crammed with pictures of almost fabulous value. Amongst the things expected is a hue collection of raw materials, fabrics, tissues, Arc., from Siam, sent from Sir Robert Schomburgk. A valuable cargo of woods from Dominica, comprising about one hundred and seventy valuable and ornamental samples, has also arrived at Southampton. The Indian collection also promises to be unusually vast and complete, if room can be found for it ; but in 1861, and in Paris in 1835, this department suffered very much for want of space. The Birmiugham, Wolverhampton, and Walsall manufacturers have hardly yea got over their dis content at the tardy arrangements of the commis sioners, although they are determined to make a good show. The space set aside for the Birming ham court is an oblong piece running off one of the main avenues, and as it extends from this avenue to the outer wall of the building, part of it will be beneath the gallery. The permission to bang chandeliers has been withdrawn as the engineers of the building, without mistrusting its strength, will not allow any heavy articles to be suspended from walls or galleries. The Wolverhampton exhibitors have also re ceived a court, of which the Walsall exhibitors et saddlers' ironmongery are to occupy a small part. Special courts iu the hardware section have bees allotted only to Birmingham, Sheffield, Wolver hampton, and Walsall ; and for goods of more than one hundred weight per superficial foot the cota- 1 missionen% require a special foundation. One department of the Exhibition—the chemical and pharmaceutical section—which was far from being prominent in 1831, promises this year to hold a very important position. It can hardly hope to be popular in the broad sense of the term, but those who have feasted their eyes on the brilliant colours of the textile department way like to see some of the unsightly agents by which such gor geous effects are produced. Thanks to the euer getic management of Mr. C. W. Quin, F.C.S., there will be such a British collection of drugs and cheinicahr in the south-eastern portion of the eastern annexe as the world has never seen before. The exhibitors will number upwards of two hun dred of the first manufacturers in this country, and hardly • name of any eminence will be missing. Several collections of great importance will be ex hibited. A complete series of drugs, systematically arranged, is in course of preparation by a commit tee of the meet eminent members of the Pharma ceutical Society, assisted by Professor Redwood. A very interesting collection of chemicals, illustrating the improvements made in calico printing and dyeing since 1851, is being formed, at the suggestion of Dr. Lyon Playfair, by Mr. Robert Romney, of Man cheater, whose combined knowledge as a chemist and a manufacturer renders him peculiarly fitted for the work. In no department of applied che mistry has such an advance been made within the last ten years as in dyeing and calico printing; and in the history of these useful arts perhaps uo period has been so fruitful in good results. A collection of products illustrating the discovery of the mol ter dyes formed by the first workman in this fertile field, Mr. W. H. Perkin, will also be exhibited, and the various dyes will be remarkably well re- w.c. presented. The proposed supplementary exhibition—if we are to judge by the silence of its promotera—seems IMPS LLIBUI and prompt CURE for COl. to be given up.

The two and twenty uses of the Great Exhibition,. to say no thing of the galleries and stairways , will doubtless satisfy even the most hungry sightseer, and there is no chance of the present commisaioners ever turning money away from the doors. In 1861 a timid policy prevailed, and officialism seemed to regard the people as dangerous wild beasts. The army and the police were gathered in and about the building u if to smother a revolution (we believe the navy was not drawn upon), and not one-half of the Tilton were at first nervously admitted who swanned into the Exhibition unchecked as official obnfidenoe increased. Commissioners, like other people, however, grow wiser as they grow older, and while Sir Richard Mayne has had a very liberal order for about 460 choice policemen, we should hope that he will instruct them not to make themselves ;ff;nitivelyactive.The exhibitors, without whom the great building would be hardly an attractive show, are even now suffering in mind, body, and goods from over-drilling ; and the visitors, who are I to pile up a money-surplus for the Royal Commis- gamin ? would like to escape the strong arm of authority as much as possible. This same tendency to over-drill thepublic will only raise a real difficulty out of taw narrow approaches question. A stream of peopinsaidoin gets into a dead lock and confusion without is aid of the police ; and while it takes a Duke of Welliocton to move 50,000 men out of Hyde-park, six times the number will get them selves out in half the time if they are only quietly left to act for themselves. Old Swan-wharf, Chelsea, has been licensed to land goods for the Exhibition. Being very near the building, this place will prove very useful to exhi bitors, a lighterage is much cheaper than cartage. The wharf is very exteusivr, and contains a large number of sheds, to which more are being added by Messrs. Morgan Brothers, who have secured the whole area for the purpose of storing the empty cues of exhibitors. We believe that the latest decision of her Ma jeety's Commissioners is to set aside about 30,000 reser►ed Beats on the opening day for the use of the earliest taken of the season tickets. DNAMATIC, NQUESTRIAN, AND MUSICAL ASSOCIATION. The anniversary festival of this association was held last evening at Willis'. Rooms. Conventional usage ' being laid aside, ladies were invited to join is the rowed logs, and Mrs. Stirling and Nine Amy fiedigwick occupied seats to the right and left of *so:heiress; Par Charles Tay lot. The following members of the corps drama/nue were likewise among thine present .I—Miss Fanny Stirling, Me Rosins Wright, Mitt •Wtte Saunders. Miss Sarah Mies Class Fisher, Mr. IL Wester, Mr. P Bedforr Mn. Bedford, Mr. and Mrs. Toole, Mr. and Mrs. Swan borough, Min Batas, Re. An imminent dinner was pro vided, at the conclusion of which, grace having been said and the usual loyal Meets given, The CIIAIRMAN, in tea Wild Of th e evening, said that the charity, five years ever which the arsenals extended, had relieved 2,575 days si sickness. it bad rant LW eases of distress, and had paid for 256 jouraeys to places where employ meet had been provided for esesesitous applicants.

Mr. Tatman TAYLOR then introduced • toast which he mid was always welcome, but was that night attended with peculiar interest— " The Ladled." M.lll. STIRLING, on behalf of her professional sisters, thanked the Dramatic Association for the charge in the order of their dining, and in a short speech, delivered with feeling and great ease of manner, touched on the evils from which the association was calculated to rescue poor actresses. The company shortly afterwards adjourned to the han som; where the festivities wee prolonged to an advanced hour. Under the leadership of Mr. Ceram, several well known musical artistes contributed to the success of the festival ; and Mr. Toole, as usual, volunteered his services as toastmaster. Upwards of 170/. was collected in the course of the evening. si. 1 la. ea.

EARLY CLOSING SOIREE. On Tuesday evening a social gathering of the Meads of the Early Closing movement, consisting princi pally of the employed iu the retail trade, was held in the al 7e mom of the Young ilea's Christian Associa tine, Aldersgste-street. The probable influence of the approaching Exhibition on the hours of closing among retail establishments wan also a subject of consultistuub and it was agreed that a special committee should be formed to undertake this particulsxdemirtment. The beet steps for promoting the early payment of wages, and for influencing the working classes to •• shop early • occupied part of the evening's diecassion. TIN desirability of periodical contributions to the society, however small the usdindual amounts, was also dwelt upon, and several sug gestions on this point emanated from the meeting. A reso lution wee unaoin.ously adopted, thanking those employers who had generously taken the lead in closing early. It was anninumed that a similar meeting wan about to be held et the Weeeasid.

A special despatch to the New York Times" dated Fort Donnelson, 16th Feb., gives the following ac count of the capture of that place by the Federals : Fort Donnelson surrendered at daylight this morning (16th) unconditionally. We bave Gene rale Buckner, Johnston, Bash:rod, and 15,000 pri soners, and 3,000 horses. Generals Pillow and Floyd, with their brigades, ran away on steamers without letting Buckner know of their intention. General Smith led the charge on the lower end of the works, and was the first inside the fortifications. The prisoners are loading on the steamers for Cairo. The Federal loss is heavy, probably 400 killed and 800 wounded. There is a large per centage of ' officers. The enemy's loos is heavy, but not so large as ours as they fought babied entrenchments. The fort would hive been taken by storming on Saturday, bad not the ammunition of the Federals given out in the night. The enemy turned the Federal right for half an hour, but this ground thus lost was afterwards more than regained. General Lanham 's brigade of General Smith's division was tho first in the lower end of the enemy's works, which were taken by a charge of the bayonet. As nine-tenths of the rebels were pitted against our right, our forces on the right were ready all night to recommence the attack. Oh Sunday morning they were met on their approach si white flag, General Buckner having sent earlfir the morning a despatch to General Grant, sur rendering. The rebels lose 48 field-pieces, 17 heavy gunk, 20,000 stand of arms, besides a large quantity of commissary stores. The Federal troops from the moment of the in vestment of the fort on Wednesday lay on their arms night and day, half the time without provisions, all the time without tents, and a portion in a heavy storm of rain and snow. Another special despatch from Fort Donnelson, dated Chicago, Feb. 17, says : The forces were about equal in numbers, but the rebels had all the advantage of position, being well fortified on two immense hills, with their fort near the river, on a lower piece of ground. From the foot of their entrenchments rifle pits and abattis extended up the river behind the town of Dover. Their fortifications on the land side back from the river were at least 4 miles in length. Their water battery in the centre of the fortifications, where it came down to the river, mounted nine heavy Lord Palmerston's statement that England would remain neutral has caused a favourable effect poll. than,. The New York Times states that it is rumoured that Mr. Carl Schurz will go as minister to Runde instead of Mr. Cameron. Mr. Wilmot will go to Spain instead of Mr. Schurz. It is rumoured, through Southern sources, that the Confederate General Johnston had oersted to evacuate Nashville providing that private pao party were respected. No answer has yet been given to this offs.. Prom Missouri it is reported that the Federals had attacked Price and M'Clellan in Arkansas, and _ thpt after a abort sagageasent General Prise bad fled, leaving behind a quantity of baggage. The New York Times reviews the Queen's pro clamation closing the British ports to Federal ves sels, and compares this course with the shelter and cordial treatment afforded to British vessels in Federal ports and with Mr. Seward's permission for British troops to pass, through Maine. It argues that the masses of the English people are friendly to America, but that the British ministry is at open war with the United States. The New York press generally is indignant at the proposed monarchy in Mexico. The New York World considers it an insult to the Federal govern ment, which at any other time would be remitted with the whole power of the American nation. It thinks that a monarchy in Mexico can only be sup ported byEuropean bayonets. "In the meautime," it continues, "the Southern rebellion is about to be unshed, and as soon as this is accomplished nothing would be so likely to cement the alienated North and South as the union of their arms in common effort to maintain the Monroe doctrine, any in fringement of which would formerly have been resented by North and South, but with more warmth and vigour by the South than by the North." According to an Associated Press despatch from Washington the Secretary of State sees in the late European advicea a satisfactory reaction in England and the Continent in favour of the United States. Special satisfaction is felt at the congratulations from Russia and Italy on the settlement of the Trent affair, " which is regarded as the bow of pro mise of peace and freedom of commerce." The New York Tribune considers that, deeply as it is to be deplored, it will be the slow work of years to place England and America on the same footing as 16 months ago. "If civil war were ended to-morrow the respect America would regain in English political circles would neither be due to blood relationship nor common commercial iu- Wrests, but to the victorious naval and military force now asserting the power of the Federal government. In mutual relationships Eng land and America have travelled back many years." The Tribune fears that neither friendly protocols norjoiut telegraph expeditious can make it otherwise, and thinks that the progress of the European invasion of Mexico and the newly de veloped policy of its promoters add new incentives to vigorous prosecution against rebellion. The New York Times says that since the Donnel son victory the popular cry is for the old union, no confiscation, no vengeance, but the banishment of the rebel leaders, and a general =unity for all who will return to the old flag. " America should present to Europe not a weakened but au aggran dised republic. Nut 34 States only, but as many as can conveniently be added. Let North and South be friends again. Let mutual prosperous trade be restotod, and with a million of wen inured to arms, with cotton and cold steel they would rule the world." The news of the capture of Savannah has not been confirmed. The latest Southern accounts state that preparations for an attack were still pro wading. Numerous steamers with supplies for Burnside's expedition continue to leave Fortress Monroe. General Halleck, in thanking the troops for the victories on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, said : The war is not ended. Prepare for new conflicts soil new victories. Troops are concentrating from every direction. We shall WOO have an army which will be irresistible. The Union fig must be restored everywhere, and the en t►rallsd Union men in the South must be set free. The soldiers and sailors of the great West are willMg to do this. The time and place have been determined on. Vietory and glory await the brave. On the 19th inst., in the Senate, the resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Captain Wilkes was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Wilson will propose a resolution to present a silver medal in the name of Congress to the volunteers who have distinguished themselves during the war. Washington will be illuminated on the 22nd inst. A Springfield despatch announces that General Curtis had driven the Confederates out of Missouri oolonels, and at least one-quarter of all the other officers were wounded or killed. During Saturday night a contraction of all our lines was made for a simultaneous assault from every point, and orders were given by General Grant to take the enemy at the point of the bayo net. Every man was at his post. The 57th Illi nois was on the extreme right. At daylight the advance was made, and when the full light of day broke forth white flags were hung at many places along the enemy's works. Au officer at a convenient point was informed that they had stacked their arm and surrendered early ih the morning, the following correspondence i having passed between the commanders : GENERAL BUCKNER TO ORNIMAL GRANT. lised.quarten, Fort amoebae, Feb. 16.

The bulk of the men are chagrined, as they knew of the surrender long before our men were apprised of it. Pillow and Floyd had planned and executed their escape during the night, taking with them Floyd's brigade and a few favourites, occupying what few small vessels they had. The prisoners are loud in their denunciation of the runaways. NOVA SCOTIA. HALIFAX, Fa. H. Legislative business is proceeding quietly, with out the usual manifestation of party feeling.
