Tits Industrial Exhibition movement in London having now made the complete circuit of the wra ps% halting fors display at each of the cardinal points, we may briefly advert to some of its fea tures, and endeavour to ascertain what is to be learned from the experience of twelve months. A year ago Working Men's Exhibitions were only an idea. Some people thought it a very vain and empty idea, which could only be indulged at the price of much disappointment and loss. Those who, in the confidence of fuller and more erect knowledge, dared to set these sinister prognostics tions aside, may now fairly recall the difficulties they encountered in the scepticism of lukewarm friends, and compare predictions with results. That some mistakes should be made was only natural, and every generous mind will regard them favourably. What can be done has been shown, and the demonstration is not impaired by the fact that in one or two instances the earlier gnome has not been repeated. The project of the first Working Men's Ex hibition arose from the feeling that the skill which gave the chief attraction to the Great Exhibition of 1851, and to others which have been held since, was not sufficiently referred to its actual posses sors. In • certain sense, all exhibitions of arts and manufactures are Working Men's Exhibitions, but neither in Hyde-park nor at South Kensington three years ago were the names of the art work man at all recognised. The temporary employer was everything, and the artist nothing. It was as if a chalice of CIELLINI had been exhibited in the sole name of Pope CLnivcr. It was natural that this should be regarded by many workmen as un fair, though whether the institution of Working Men's Exhibitions supplies the best corrective of the evil may be doubted. We question whether many of the cunning workers who made our great exhibitions so brilliant have since exhibited in their own names. The interests of capital and skill are best promoted in alliance. Still the idea, having been warmly embraced, became fruitful. Bodies of working men in various parts of London, as sisted by good advisers, took the work in hand, and the result exceeded all expectation. The exhibitions furnished a striking proof of mental activity among those who labour with their bands, and their skill showed • facility of production, exercising itself not only in the channels prescribed by the ordinary laws of supply and demand which must govern the directions of the employer, but disporting itself often with much grace in the by-ways of industry. The first exhibition of this order was opened in South London, and the second in North London, and it is in them that most success has been achieved. They had the advantages of novelty on their side, but that is far from explaining their success. They were well planned ; their originators had carefully calculated the means at their disposal, and under took no more than they could accomplish. They avoided speculation, and entered into no engage ments fatal to the freedom of their management. Their administration was marked by a simplicity of aim which preserved it from many errors, especially from that of relying on extrinsic attractions adverse to the character of their enterprise, and therefore likely to hinder its success. The working classes took pride in the scheme, and both exhibited freely and went in families to pay their money, and see what had been done by men and women of their own order. All this gave a strong dis- tinctive character to those exhibitions, and caused them to be visited by members of other clime* who were willing to pay liberally for admission. But all exhibitions hive not been so fortunate. That which was closed on Monday at the Floral Hall, and which, as originally projected, was designed to represent the industry of the West-end, has failed to pay its expenses, and has entailed a debt of 1,0001., being more than half the receipts from all sources, a deficiency which will probably have to be made up by the subscribers to the guarantee fund. The Committee appear to have made • mistake in the choice of •i place of exhibition. The Floral Hall could of course only be hired fora very large sum, and it does not appear what advantage was to be gained by holding the Exhibition there. A. bad bargain seems also to have been made with Mr. Ors, who was not only to have 1,0001., with one-fourth of the receipts, for the use of the Hall, but had besides the right to fix the rate of admission. A shilling was the price he appointed, and the conse quence was that the working classes were shut out of their own exhibition while it was in its fresh ness. Then, further, a " musical performance " was instituted, contrary to the covenant of the tenancy, and disputes arose, leading to the inter diction of concerts. The Committee had departed from the simple idea of the earlier exhibitions to speculate on making theirs attractive by the hackneyed devices of the showman. With failure and disappointment came recrimina tions, and what we fear we must call appeals to charity. It was complained that the upper classes had not done their duty—as if they are not always ready to pay for seeing what is worth looking at, and as if they had any farther duty to perform in the matter. Then, if we remember rightly, an application was made for the favour of a visit from some of the younger members of the Royal Family ; and when this failed, some large firms were canvassed to buy bundles of tickets as • mode of assisting the concern. AU this is very derogatory to the independence of the working classes, and strangely inconsistent with the self sustaining spirit in which the earlier exhibitions were conceived and administered. Without inquiring further into the means of this particular failure, we may express • hoprilhat great care will be taken to prevent a repetition of it in any future exhibitions that may be medi tated. In these days every fruitful idea is in danger of being discredited by excessive or ill-un derstoodapplication. Emulation, the desire to exeel in merit, has given us some good exhibitions, but the spirit of imitation which seeks to reproduce the outside show where the soul is not, will prove the parent of bad ones. Society at the present day is infested with imitators who live by consult ing what they fancy is the humour of the hour, and when them men resolve that there shall be a Working Men's Exhibition, the very ease with which they find implements and materials ready to head is a source of temptation. There are stock chairmen and stock committeemen, just as there are stook objects of exhibition, which three men know smartly and at all times where to find. It is desirable that all parties should understand what the public will encourage with its patronage. It would be a great mistake to suppose that there exhibitions are, so to speak, the order of the day, that they form a want of the times, and must be got up--well, if possible—but in any case must be got up. The fact is quite otherwise. If Exhibitions like those of South and North London spring unexpectedly out of the spontaneous action of the class in the name of which they appear, and are vindicated by the result, the public will ap plaud the energy and skill and power of combi nation of which they are the evidence, and gladly recognise in them the promise of social progress ; but let North-West-by-West and South-by-East London rest in peace, nor fear that anybody will think worse of them if they should not see their way to hire halls and challenge all oomers to a competition of skill. Exhibitions belong to a class of undertakings that are to be judged strictly by Rumen. Much is forgiven to those who do their best in difficult situations which they have not sought, but little sympathy is extended to those who fail and injure others in the mere act of self assertion.

In doing this he announces some intention of modify ing the rigour of the prompt system of centralisa tion. The Emperor considers that the time is come to temper the control and tutelage hitherto exer cised by the government over the acts of the 4:foun d:a-general by abandoning, not the political cen tralisation, which must remain in his bands, but at least a part of the administrative centralisation, Which is often useless, and still more frequently prejudicial to the despatch of business. This is probably the answer to the manifesto of Nancy. Prince Napoleon's departure is decidedly fixed for the 30th. He has made important economies in his household, having dismissed a considerable number of his officers. Among others he struck oat his chaplain, who enjoys a hundred a year as chaplain to the Palais Royal. His reverence de pending on the domain, and his salary being due from the occupier of th e Pekin Royal, brought the matter before the Emperor, who at once ordered him to be reinstated, as he possessed his bundled a year as a charge, not on Prince Napoleon, but on the palace of which he is the temporary occupant.

The French papers begin to notice the murder of a French subject at Bonn by a Prussian cavalry officer, a Count von Eulenberg. It is said that without any provocation on the part of the victim he was attacked by the gallant count, who inflicted two sabre wounds on the head, which proved fatal. As the murdered man is a Frenchman, of Stras bourg, there is a probability that some explanation satisfactory to the French government will be given. It would seem incredible that such military executions could be tolerated in any part of Europe, if there bad not already been several instances in the last two or three years of Prussian officers indulging in deeds of violence who have escaped all punishment, or only been punished in a manner which was illusory. The civil law has no bold upon military men, and it would seem that Prussian military law encourages the occasional exercise of the strong arm on brother Germans, or foreigners, when there are no Danes in the way. On this occasion the experi ment has been made upon a Frenchman, his name Ott, his reputation that of a quiet, unobtrusive man. By trade he was a cook, and he had just been engaged to accompany Prince Alfred to England. The Bourse is very heavy, and there is a alight fall in most securities.

The following details concerning the Emperor's visit are collected from various sources : The Emperor reached the Castle of Arenenberg between 5, and 6 o'clock on Friday even_ hag, accompanied by the Empress and a suite of some thirty persons. A special train, accompanied by the Baden Grand Marshal, brought the travellers from Kehl to Con stance, whence they drove in six or seven hired carriages to Arenenberg. Notwithstanding the rain the inhabitants, who still entertain a friendly recollection of the Emperor's residence in these parts, had assembled in numbers along the road. At Ermalingen the Emperor was received with a hastily erected triumphal arch, bearing the inscription, " From gratitude," and Salenstein greeted her old schoolmaster, who has risen so high, with a salute of cannon. His Ma jesty, on the other band, was compelled to dispense with the accustomed cries of " Vivo l'Empereur ! " and to content himself with the mute, but respectful, greeting proper to republicans. At the entrance of the park, where a still greater number of people had assembled, the travellers quitted their carriages to traverse the remainder of the distance to the castle on foot, and the Emperor greeted several of the bystanders whom he recognised with a hearty shake of the hands. The first visit paid by his Majesty with the Empress was to the Castle Chapel, which contains the statue of his mother, Queen Hortense, in white marble. In the evening the singing club of Salenstein waited upon the Emperor, who thanked them for their attention, remarking that he was delighted to revisit the spot where he had been so happy many years ago. In reply to a question whether there were any among the citizens who could recollect his departure, the answer was given, " Yee, your Ma jesty, you then said, 'I leave with regret, but when I come again it shall be in joy.'" Members of the secret police were stationed in Constance, Ermalingen, Salenstein, and Mennen batch, to watch over the Emperor's safety, but their service is carried on in a very quiet and unobtrusive way. The Emperor soon revisited old walks in the vicinity of the castle, and was especially graciousto all in Salenstein, whom he had formerly known. A deputation from the government of Thurgau waited upon his Majesty in the forenoon of the 19th, and it is reported here that Dr. Dubs and Councillor Naff have been despatched to Arenen berg to salute the imperial guests in the name of the Federal Council.

A monster steak pudding, weigh ing more pounds avoirdupois than it is safe to print, and redolent of such olfactory and gastrouomic joys as oysters and kidneys can supply, is one man's notion of what a tavern dinner should be. But press the enthusiast home, ask him why he makes a distant pilgrimage, and thinks it neces sary to limit the opportunities of doing so to one day out of the seven, and the answer is not sa tisfactory. Sift and examine his statements, and " a sanded floor" is the foremost feature in his notion of dining bliss. Explore for yourself, and the affectation of calling the spirit gin " rack," and the one known as whiskey " oork," is th e on* novelty greeting you. That be. Samuel Johnson, propounded pompous platitudes to obsequious Boswell—that Goldsmith aired his plum-coloured suit after a platonic flirtation with the "ar m y bride," perhaps on the same settles, within the same walls—and that a portrait of a "model waiter" such as Mr. Horace Mayhew de scribed years ago, bangs over the old-fashioned fire place, is not sufficient for hungry men. They want. succulent food, wholesomely dreamed and decentiw served ; rather than literary reminiscences or anti quarian lore, and it is not too much to say that there is in the capital of this country an unreasonable diffi culty in procuring it. West of Temple Bar how many places are there where the gentleman of mo derate means can enter with the certainty of pro curing a comfortable meal l The rarity, nay the impossibility of doing this, is best evidenced by the success gained by establishments formed on the least objectionable principles. It seems an extravagant thing to write, but it is perfec tl y true, that dia -1 covering the secret of giving a hungry man as much of the honest British joint as be can eat for about six times the prime cost of the quantity he can oonsume has made more than one fortune Of course there are ordinaries, at which for a small sum fish, flesh, and fowl are provided. People whose engagements allow them to dine at four o'clock, may find at Billingsgate a variety of fish and a mixed company, which, if they ass humourists or observers, will be found highly ream- nerative. There are, too, in out-of-the-way streets, lurking, slinking, biding behind our leading tho roughfarea, dining-plaoes where bodily yenta can be supplied for a small amount. But none of these supply a gaping void in the arrangements of metropolitan life. The keenest student of human nature does not wish to be always studying elm ' meter. There are times when • smoking plate has greater attractions than a metaphysical problem even to the most 'esthetic. We want to eat moderately, and we want to eat well, and it really seems that our boasted civilization fails in this essential. A very wide-spread and popular fallacy is that clubs supply the want. They do not. The moat experienced club-its will betray to the statistician who examines him closely, who takes the sum total of the daily dinner, and who rigorously sifts each item, that the habit of dining is by no means less expensive from the fact of membership and subscription. It is unne cessary to plunge into heroics as to the lock of moral courage which makes winodrinking ••neces sity to the poor man who dines regularly at his club. Half a pint of sherry at ninepence a pint of light claret at from nisepeocs toe shilling, the joint, and table "money" represent at least from three shillings to three and sixpence in every club in London, and the problem remains unsolved : Can • gentleman— we mean by this conventionality the labourer in any walk who prefers comfort to squalor—dine without inconvenience or petty social annoyances at a cheaper rate I Barristers will quote the dinners at their respective inns of oourt—City clerks may dilate on the meaty joy" of Bucklerabury, and the savou ry delights of this noted a-la-mode be or or that famous repository of sandwiches and Alton ale—there are many social explorers who can easily show you how, by taking diverse turnings and ob serving complicated instructions, you may find re condite and out-of-the-way spots, where a sand wich of superior quality, or a tankard of extra strength may be found. But these exceptional instances do not affect the problem laid down. The generic licensed victualler, the practised purveyor of meat and drink, the oletgieons vendor of roast and boiled, of "portions," or •• slices," or " plates," is not up to his work. Even our government offices have discovered this. A few years ago the food hawker, the potman, the baker, and the pie-man, unpleasantly pervaded every public department, during what might by poetic license, and by such license only, be termed luncheon-hours. Be earnest on re-adjusting your half-pay, or settling that disputed question as to legsoy duty, or asking the amount due on your imported goods, or examining the terms of the contract for which you proposed to tender, and you were offended by lung rows of pewter pots, or your iuquiries were offensively interrupted by some greasy frowsy *Man, who had more than the proverbial insolence of office without an iota of its rights. Bat such thoughtful people as considered the honour of the Civil Service to be quite as much involved in avoiding the appearance of eril in its daily life, as in rigidly enforcing echo , lastic rileson entrance have boldly grappled with the difficulty. Refectories are now provided in all large government departments, a oontractor is carefully selected, and every detail of supply and demand is controlled by a oommittee selected from the officials themselves. Mid-day diners, luncheon eaters, and those needing • lighter form of refresh ment than can be generalised under either of these heads, are consequently enabled to eat and drink w ithout possibility of sandal, or temptation to excess. This is an undoubted gain, and for the reason that intelligent efforts are being made at this time to extend the principles of economic supply, and ade quate and decent provision for the commonest and most obvious of human wants, it is useful to note DISOOVWXY or • Hustur &mem( re Betio.— their operation and scope. imt-woort—Tide monies, as • number of see Imo —as ei bow Twelve months ago particulars were given in this r eaiigrav•l far rotan in eradesk le LES Sm..-- roes oast* fithooter's•h t•wood, • ban mr•••• - journal, under the heed " Cheap Dinners," of an posan. ems roses and oe seeemse the age establishment in the New Cut, which, founded on mo r a ll y . be = ne m ;;;;;;,, re h omes o ss i s son bolsi the experiments successfully tried at Glasgow and fees &onwards, two feet Irons the sorface. leforawibell other large towns, sought to put • wholesome dinner at ages glees to the wid lespector o Xoyasho,M before the working man at the most reasonable rate. &egret Gob Temo,4lll the skeleton to the Shooter •.°: It fully suooeeded.

These prices have previously obtained in a few manufacturing towns, and, as we have shown, in certain out of the way parts of London. Ths novelty of the enterprise inaugurated last night that in a leading metropolitan thoroughfare, withit touching (listen°, of countless refectories, eating. houses, and taverns, and where every circumstance of precedent and experience is hostile, it is soo g in to establish the fact that the profits on wa w a food are exorbitant, and that it is possible to nip. ply good dinners at a lees price than is given le the same vicinity for bad. Of course, it would be illusory to argue from the viands experimentally put forward yesterday what the amount of excellence to be enjoyed by the general public is likely to he. It is, lowever, only fair to say that the food put beim the gentlemen summoned to pronounce upon ti ke feasibility of the scheme was unexceptionally go o d. A Mr. Coningsby, whose name will be familiar to 110020 readers, from the very pronoun not to say curious views upon political reform, was present, and in sensible sa d moderate terms dwelt upon the advantages= to accrue from asst undertaking ss the resent lad met to inaugurate. The absence ci patronage, and the complete abnegation of that assumption of charity so loathsome to the wain man, whether professional or mechanical, is pleasant feature in this scheme, and the company, It may be mentioned, by no means confine thin aims to catering for the poor. The tariff just quoted represents the price at which plain, whole. some, and succulent dishy can be supplied. But if, as the managing directors earnestly aver, every clue of diners may rap a proportionate bens. fit, many people will congratulate thiamine on the philanthropy which has included them is its nape. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, we were told, has been in frequent communicat:on with Loid Brougham on the working details of this interestieg experiment, and if through the prompting+ of phi. anthrope the middle-class London diner shorts the beuefita freely promised to the class affectedly dis tinguished as " working men," it may be that the practical advantages will be as great as hare hen derived from men pretentious essays in "acid science."
