PRUSSL&. BERLIN, MAT 7, 1 P.Y. The telegrams received here up to this hour con cerning the elections in the provinces show that the greater part of the persons elected, consisting partly of former representatives and partly of fresh can didates, belong to the progressist party. The catholic party, as well as the moderate con ' stitutional party under the leadership of Herr von Grabow, have lost several votes. The ultracon servative party has at least not gained any votes. Among the present moderate constitutional nota bilities Baron Vincke and M. Simeon have not yet been re-elected. M. von der Hcydt, Minister of Finance, unsuccessfully contested the representa tion of the town of Elberfeld, his old electoral dis trict, the two successful candidates being M. Alfred Auorawald and M. Kane. Up to the present no change has taken place with regard to the present ministers. Count Schwerin is the only one of the former ministry who has been re-elected.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1862. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIHITION. A shower of rain can, it is said, at any time check a revolution in Paris; we do not know how . . true that may be, but it can certainly cast a very considerable damp over the prospects of our Great Exhibition at Kensington. The attendance yes terday was, perhaps, the smallest since the open ing, although it would have been enormous for any other public Exhibition. .The Prince of Prussia has left for fatherland, but Prince Oscar of Sweden still remains, and visited the Exhibition early. Ac companied by Sir Wentworth Dillee, his Royal Highness went over the woollen department, and very carefully examined all its useful contents. a At a later hour the building was also honoured with a Visit by four of five members of the Japa nese embassy, asoompanied by their interpreter, Air • l'helleenkl- The envjurity of these grade men were the two swords, which, it appears, is the exclusive Prlyilege of the Herniae, who, having also the letclnaite right to the ' " Happy despatch," wear the two ' swords, in order that they may always ! have a spare obe to , /Amebae Ito any friend with whom they may wish to reeimiocate that exceed ingly plpaaant nAional.cqatore. The gentlemen who visited the .Abitiosi yesid&li into alight 1 and undersized, considerably less robust than the Chinese, but with much more pleasing and intelli gent countenances. One, who appeared to be of the highest rank, had a gentle, almost feminine ex pression of countenance, and spoke English with great fluency and correctness. The others could speak it a little, but all had the same ease and self possession, and in their manner of thanking the exhibitors for what they saw they exhibited all the polished courtesy of well-bred gentle men. In nothing was this more conspicuous than the coolness with which they bore the curiosity of the crowd, which passed round rather nnceremo nioualy, as if they looked upon the visitors as a portion of the Exhibition. The strangers first visited the American department, where they found some persona whom they had previously seen in New York, and the greeting was exceedingly friendly and hearty on both sides. The American commissioner asked after the health of a certain " Tommy," who had been, it seems, a Japanese lion in New York, and one of the visitors answered that " Tommy" was dead, • circumstance which seemed to amuse him immensely, as he laughed himself almost into hysterics whilst announcing his friend's decease. The probability is that "Tommy" had been amusing himself with the happy despatch, and hence the hilarity of his surviving friend. All of them seemed to take great interest in the sewiug machine which was exhibited at Wheeler and Wil son's stand. They insisted on having it put through all its motions, and graciously informed the bystanders that it was already familiarly known at Jeddo, where the Tycoon's principal lady was an adept in its manipulation. They were subsequently taken to the pianos, where some waltzes were played for their entertainment. They did not, however, go into very great raptures about the music, but watched the motion of the hammers with great curiosity. They subsequently passed through a great nuiuber of courts in succession, examining everything with cool and business-like care, never seeming astonished at anything, nor, which astonished ourselves annoyed at the crowd by which they were every where followed. With respect to the internal arrangements of the Exhibition, we believe we may congratulate the public on the proximate removal of the trophies, or at all events the greater portion of them, which have been the subject of so much animadversion in the prow, and from the public ; and we are also happy to believe that the improvement will be effected without any offence given or rights invaded. 1 Communications have taken place between the commissioners and the exhibitors, and, principally through the conciliatory tact of M r. Cole, the majo rity of the latter have consented to have their cases removed, on the condition that they be put up again in a loss inconvenient locality. The great dressing-case " trophy " will we believe be the first to go, to be followed soon after by the cereal pyramid familiarly known to the habituis as "Jack in the green." With respect to the others nothing has as yet been definitively set tled ; but good example is often infectious, and no exertion will be wanting on the part of the Com miasioners to meet the emphatically expre.seed wishes of the press and the public. Other and minor difficulties are also being cleared away, and it is hoped that everything will be in amicable and vigorous working order in another week or so. %Where been requested to say a word on behalf of a very . large, but rather helpless section of the workers in theOreat Exhibition. It appears that an order has recently been issued by one of the com missioners, who undertakes a general supervision of the working staff, to the effect that all the females employed shall dine at four o'clock ; and these poor women complain that their health suffers from being obliged to work so long fasting. They also complain of one or two other hardships to which they are subjected, but we feel sure that this mere mention of their grievances will be quite sufficient to have the whole removed. Yesterday some of the juries made their first walking inspection of the goods, a proceeding that many of the exhibitors thought very premature. Their office is now at 13, Cromwell-road, where any letters may be addressed to their chairman or secre - The following figures show the numbers ad. witted to the building by season tickets and pay ments, up to and inclusive of Tuesday : -- MAY 1 (oPenin( day) May 2 May 3 May 5 Maya '• 3M96 8,727 13,707 15,568 11,351 NAVAL AND MILITARY.

ALP coomenied by the officials, the party visited thevarions partmenta of the Royal Arsenal, and appeared deeply inte rested in their inspection. After remaining about two hours they proceeded in carriages to the garrison, followed by a large crowd of persona, notwithstanding the heavy rain whisk prevailed. On arriving at the Common they were with a salute of 19 gnus, by • battery of Royal greeted s Artillery, and were escorted to the Royal Artillery °Meets' mesa room to partake of iefreihments. The most complete arrangements had bun made for a re view; and the whole of the troops were in readiness at 12 Attack, but in consequence of the unceasing ;heavy rain which prevailed, and the bad oondition of the ground, it was foetid impartible to carry out the evolutions with any =of satisfaction, add the troops were ultimately to return to quarters. The embeeeadon and suite left the garruoa at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock, amidst another salute of 19 guns, and proceeded to the Royal Arsenal Ste ties, where an immense number of persons had assembled to witsess their departure by the 3.32 up train, on the North Sant line. Before leaving Woolwich the distinguished foreigners intimated to the commandant and other autho ritise that they had been mach gratified and delighted with their visit to Woolwich. SOCIETY 07 ARM.

LONDON HOSPITAL. The 122nd anniversary festival of this institution took place lest evening at the Loudon Tavern, Bishopegate ; the Duke of Cate/arum presiding, supported by Sr Win. Clay, colossi Macdonald, Mr. Wm. Catton, Mr. Wm. Davis, Mr. Thomas Fowell Buxton, Captain Pally, Mr. Sheriff Twentyman, Lieutenant-Colonel Capper, Lieutenant-Colorial Davis, Captain Pleat, &c. The guests numbered in all up. wards of 120 gentlemen, including many influential persons who have always shown a special interest in this excellent charity. In giving the toast of "The Army and Navy, and Volun teers," his royal highness spoke in eulogistic terms of the late review at Brighton, and observed that it had beep supposed in some quarters that there was a desire among the tallboy authorities to interfere with that body ; but be took this opportunity of stating that no such intention ever existed. When, however, the volunteers ap peared in large bodies on great public occasions, in order to show their value to the service of the country, he thought it better that they should be einceisted with the regular forcee, because it was certainly an advantage that the different branches of the service should be cemented. This senti ment was cordially acquiesced in, cad the chairman after wards proceeded to give the treat of the evening—" Pros perity to the London Hospital` In bringing this subject Ibrward, hie royal hbrhoess drew attention to fee statistics of the hospital, stating that ow of the t features of the institution was to be in the fact that it afforded relief in a larger number el accident caw than the public could poeaibly conceive. The total number demo of this description from 1842 to the year 1861 amounted to 186,667 ; and this feet alone Ito the yam' gestateese cl the charity. It ap peared that the annual expenditure of the hospital amounted to 18,00 W., whilst the actual income derived from funded property only reached 18,000. There was therefore an annual deficit of 5,0001., and this deficit had generally been met in such a manner as to enable the governors to main. twin the character of the institution. There were, as a rule, 400 beds constantly occupied in the hospital, and dor. tfth the i ta lw w:Br ar ft s oo° e P t i tr e s n ordir l i ' a l r d y fact that relief nd o e than 12,000 accidents bad been treated in the hospital this year, and many of them were of a most series, and painful description. He had ample reason to believe that the ent of the hospital was sound and economical, and :rd . :. comparison with that of spy other institution of • similar character in this vast metropolis. He royal highness concluded by making an earnest appeal to the company in behalf of the charity, and the result was that • subscription lint was announced amounting to 2,10 W. the musical arrangements were wider the able direction of Mr. Francis, who had secured the valuable aaristanoe Madame Weiss, Madame Laura Baxter, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Weiss. The two ladies were warmly greeted at each display of their ability, and the poem' arrangements of this department were all that could be desired. Mr. Harker officiated in his usual capacity. FIELD•LAhE RAGGED SCHOOLS. The t wentieth annual meeting of this institution was held last evening at St. Martin's-hall; the Earl of Swarm- BURT in the chew. The figcarruir (Mr. Tawell) read a report, which stated that the operations of this society were as follows : In the infant school, the average attendance has been 205 daily, 201 new scholars admitted during the year.

There are also a girls' industrial class, and a girls' night school. The penny bank, the clothing society, the mothers' class, he., were all very highly successful. In March last, 231 children received prizes varying from 2s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. each for having kept their situations above twelve months. In the penny bank there ue now 500 depositorsovho paid in during the year 2311. During the pest year 7,537 persons passed through the male refuge for the homeless, of wham 233 were sent to situations, 181 ob tained work, 25 enlisted, sod 108 went into the navy. In the female refuge 2,300 persons were received, and 278 ser vants into the servants' home, a great number of whom have been provided with situations. Special relief has been given during the year to 400 families in clothing, coals, blankets, bread, Sze. Bible dares, prayer meetings, religi ous services, and special services are continually being held, and found productive of much good. During the past year 13,000 of the destitute and homeless poor of London have shared the advantages offered by the institution, and of thin number 1,944 have been taken from the streets, and placed out, where, in the honourable exercise of their industry, they are enjoying its fruits. Several have joined Christi= churches, and some hundreds reclaimed from immoral and depraved habits, elevated in position, and re stored to their friends. The year commenced with a balance of 9451., which, besides the ordinary income, has been ab sorbed in the expenditure of the year. The many appeals to the public benevolence during the year have to some extent drawn attention from this society. The gross in come for the past year was 1,9381. 14s. 7d., while the ex peediture has amounted to 2.634/. 4s. Id., or 6951. 9s. 6d. over and above the income. The committee earnestly hop for increased subscriptions during the present year. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. NOLAX, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Gleam, and supported by Mr. Deputy-Judge PAINS., the report was adopted. A vote of thanks having been pulsed to the chairman, to which he replied at some length, advocating strongly the claims of the society, the proondinp terminated.

To his own mind there was an unmistakable difficulty in jughfrlng =to: 7l r tion to the formularies of the church of Eagles& with honesty and unrighteous There was meet in the church who were as honest and upright as himself ; he made so spied the body of clergymen of wilful dishonesty, flaT believed they had no thought of esailking truth or compro mising their ainsiesees. Mr. Mau, quite concurred with Mr. Brock that minister in the church of England ought not to be charged with being dishonest ammeters, but at the mere time, though they might not intend to deceive themselves, their snlisenp tion was an act of dishonesty, unless they believed in the full extent of that to which they subscribed. He thought it very important that this &audios should be kept in mind. A man might be a Christian man, sod yet ttnwit tingly doe very unchristian set. The Rev. C. Naval" rector of Ilawtry, expressed the pleasure with which be had attended the meeting of the Conference, and said that 10 was glad to heir the remarks just made by the Rev. Hr.

He had himself laboured far many years to reform theme iisrvioes and in ardor to piss himself ia a better position to carry on that work he had given notice to the bishop of his intentioo to resign the two family livings which he had held for many years. He was in favour of repealing the Act of Uniformity, and of opening the pulpits of the establishment, being convinced that things conic' not goon for many years upon the preset footing. He besought the friends of the Anti-State Church movement to endeavour in all their diacusaions to separate es far as passible the system from the men. Mr. S. KOMAR strongly deprecated the charging et say clergyman with dishonesty or falsehood. It was not for dissenters to judge them by their own standard, but to pro• chum to the world the principles which the ttiessees had retained, leaving every man responsible to his Maker. Some formal resolutions and a vote of thanks to the chairman, moved by Mr. Sheriff Cockerel and wooded by _Mr. W. Edwards, concluded the proosidings of the Conterenos. THE SOIREE. -- - The annual soirée was held in the evening at the Whittington Club, Strand ; MAIM ROBIRTSON, Esq., of Liverpool. in the chair. Among the gentlemen present were the Rev. John Burnet, Daman IPLaren, Ern., H. 0. Wills, Req., J. Cripps. Esq., E. MO. Esq., Rev. Professor Newth, Bev. B. W. Dale, Rev. J. Fleisher, Rev'. J. G. Mist!, Rev . Chas. Seville, H. Tweivetress, Faq., Bet. H. Richard, Rev. Mktg lense s he. The Crursun said be felt it an honour to be at any time called upon to preside at the anniversary of a society in whose proceedings he bad always takes the deepest interest, and which had always oramantied hie . = ration ; but be felt it particularly an boson, or this occasion, when the society had become the best shooed of all societies in the three kingdoms, The altered tootles of their oppoimti, who bad Mthtiabed church institutions. defence weeteuena and ocemitlises of helpers—were hope ful *in ; they betokened inquiry and (smellier, and the consequence certainly would be the speedy attainment of the object which this association bad in view. The Rev. Mr. Dais, of Birmingham, mid he believed the real expLnation of the effect which the society was able to reduce was that there was something deep down in the hearts of Englishmen which regrinds& to their appeal. The great element of their power wag this, that the old English spirit vu on their side. And, above all things, in this age of increasing religious ac tivity, there must be • conviction deepening and strengthening in the hearts of hundreds of thousi who stood aloof from all their public movements, that the true way of serving Christ wag to serve Him with • true heart and loving spirit under the control of His own laws, and not under the compulsory inSuenos of any human govern ment. (Cheers.) He begged to offer this as an explanation to members of church defence associationa all over the country, who envied their genius, and would be glad to copy their machinery in order to rival their results. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the true strength of their society would lie in adhering constantly and un flatteringly to the object for which it was constituted — namely, the liberation of religion from State patronage and control. (Applause.) By pursuing this policy they would prevent this great movement from being confounded with the special principles or interests of any religious sect, and it was equally important that they should endeavour to make it felt that the movement WAS not identified withany particular political party. (Hear.) The Rev. JOHN GRAHAM, of Craven Chapel, said he was one of the so-called moderate dissenters who had never before appeared on the platform of the Liberation Society. But if moderation implied indifference to the principles of the society he never wished town the title. In early life he was connected with the church, and he had been brought out by the force of conviction, and he believed that the bicentenary discussions would lead a great many other Christian ministers to identify them- Wyss with tins movement. There were a great many " moderate dissenters" in the churches who required to know more of the great nonconformists of put times, and he believed that the effect of this bioentuary cele- bration would be to advance the interests of the church of England itself, and that the Evangelical ckegy would feel when the controversy was over that they owed a deep debt of gratitude to the nonconformists because of what they had done. He did nor believe that any enmity was felt by those present to the Episcopal church, but they were convinced that its separation from the date would be both for its own and the nation's welfare. (Cheers.) The Rev. H. W. Parkinson (of Rochdale), the Rev. J. Kilsby Jones, Ir. William Edwards, the Rev. Joseph Fletcher (of Christchurch), and the Rev. Dr. Thomas (of Pontypool) subsequently addressed the meeting, and the proceedings terminated. TWOPENC METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

Hoerr, in seconding the resolution, emprowed ea opinion that the eonstructiou of the proposed Una would have • very important influence upon the traffic of the London, Chatham, and Doves Company. The OryWel Palace line as originally promoted went off been the lune don between the City termions and the Westeed Mamie= lines of the metropolitan extension's, and the object of the of this bill was to have a line in eennesion with promoters of Chatham, and Dover system op to the Crystal Palms. That scheme wee opposed by theßrigittoe Company, sad the committee of the Ha or Commons had decided that • mrtein portion of the lien should be mods by the Brighton Company, and that that portion which gave access to the upper level of the Crystal Palace should be given to the new company. At paused there was a distance of 126 test to go up from tbe Crystal l'aleos station to the floor of the Wang, whereas the station of the new line would be within 10 feet of the level of the upper floor, entering from the hoot of the palace. la reply to Yr. HAITIUDGE, Yr. Dungan elated that the total amount of capital for the whole of the line, including the portion which the Brighton Company bad taken upon themselves to make, but which, of course, if they did not make, would fall upon the new cornmey, would be 675,0001. LIANTILIDON wanted to know what would be their position if the Brightes Company failed to carry their bill ler the construction of their portions of the line. Xr. Norma, sold the ()until Palace RailerayClosepany and the South London Junction Company would have the power to make the line complete if the Brighton . Company failed to can', oat their portion of the undertaking within three yens, end in the event of the Brighton Company's bill failing would have that power at once.
