A !ate editiun of the R.rpreas is published every Abaiae duris4 the racing sessuu, cuutaiubig the moults of the day's meek As we wish to keep before the snits/ of the politic, not only the general fact of the progreas which is making towards the realisation .4 the idea at eh., Gram' Exhibition, hut to render them as familiar as we can with tit...64311s of that progress"; we may perhaps be jesitinel in giving some notion of the living, thinking, suggeoing, and acting machinery by which the purpose in view is tieing brought about, with a stalely per- SUTCrAII{V, and a skilful adaptation of means to the end, which augurs well for future succroi. Ti.. or4anization is extensive, and the agency comprises some of the test known and best appreciated in the country. Every one is aware that the chief authority is vested w " Her Majesty's Commissioner'," who with their efficient secretary, are the ruling as well as the first motive power. At this time these Commissioners meet two or three tines' a week, and very soon will have to come together oftener than that. They are as sisted by a staff which includes a geiwral manager and superioteedent, Lieut.-Colonel bhiwlwell ; an engineer and architect, Captain Fowkc, R.E. ; a inancial officer, Mr. J. J. Mayo ; an assistant !sc rewy, Mr. Louis Lindon : while tiie " mere spondence" is conducted by Mr. C. W. Franks, the Hon. Edwin H. Portman, and Mr. A. N. Sbereon. The Colonial department baa fur it oinperinten dent Dr. Lindley, &assisted by Mr. It. L. Sim mond* ; awl the Indian department is confided to the charge of Dr. J. Forbes Watson. The superin tendents of Clamss are Meson. R. Hunt, F.R.S. ; C. W. Quin, D. H. Clark, T. A. Wright, C. R. Weld, O. Wallis, J. ft Waring, awl Edmund GU AM. Tbere is a board clerk, a short-hand writer, a registrar, an assistant fur allotment of space, a storeimpw, a Post-office clerk, and a body of clerks in general. This central staff is amines' by " Committees of Advice." These are itivele.l; and first, there is the " Building Committee," consisting of the Earl of Shelburne, Mr. William Baker, and Mr. William Fairbairu, LLD., F. R.B. ; the " Finance Committee" has for its members the Right Hon. Robert Lowe, )LP., Sir A. Spearman, Bart., Messrs. Edgar A. Bowring, T. F. Gibson, and Henry Thring. In the Industrial Department them is a general COW =lace on organisation which contains, among other members, Lord Stanley, the Lord Mayor of Loudon, Mr. Mauer Gilson, Mr. Baxley, Dr. Lyon Play fair, Mr. Henry Cole, and Mr. Darwin. Another de partment oof the staff is composed of Clew Commit tees. Anion% these Class Committee% are to be fonud a "Mining Counuitto.c," with Sir Roderick Murchison at its head, assisted by a ber of able and experionierl coadjutors ; and a "Chemi cal Committee," which of course contains the names of W. T. Brande, Faraday, De la Rue, and so on. Among the professienal mem bers, so to speak, as distiognishol from the ornamental, of the " Machinery Com mittee," are Messrs. Maudolay, Penn, and Scott Russell, while the Earl of Caithness, as a well kuown amateur mechanician, has a place there. lu the suh-onistuitteu for "Sanitary Appliances," be. sides others, there are of practical members, Mr. Edwin Chadwick, Dr. Letheby, Mr. Rawlins on, Mr. 8 111111 l , awl Dr. Sutherland. The superin- Winless.— of "Agricultural and Horticultural Machines and Implements " is entrusted to a ounsiaittee, in which, among others, Lord Partisan, Mr. Easton, Mr. Itraialreth Gibbs, Mr. Stirling, C.Z., and Professor Wilson, have agreed to act. We Ile riot remember whether at the Exhibition of l 8 of there was such a depart meat as a " Military Committee." That exposi tam was bawd on such a pure awl abstract idea of promotion of universal peace and good will, that no particular prominence was given to any seetiow which may have existed which bad reference to war awl its concomitants. As, however, since that period all nations, whoa not actually engageol in proving practically that they are "the mildest men that ever cut a thrust," have he, u devoting themselves to the or,iarlisatiou of their armee, and encouraging in every way Cue ingenuity of inventors of warlike instrumento', it i s not surprising that in the es ' g Exhibitiou there will b, banal a class for "Military Engineering, Armour, and Accoutrements, Ordnance and Small Arms," which will 110 doubt very fully represent the ideas of those gentlemen of all ranks and profes sions, inclusliiig,aa we have heard, country clergymen, who are doing their best to render war impassible by the creation of such destructive engines, projec tiles, and missiles., as will some day prevent any two hostile bodies of Melt from facing inch other for more than a few minutes. The " Military Committee," therefore, stands out au the list, and hiclucloil in it we find the names of Colonel Shafts, Adair, Mr. J. Andersen, Lieutenant-Colunal Baynes, Mr. W. Fairbairn, Captain Fowke, Captain Lane Fox, Colette' Lefroy, fte. ; but we miss those of Sir Williams Arm strong and Mr. Whitworth. Why is this I In the department of "Naval Architecture and Ships' Tackle" Captain Frederick Arrow, Admiral Bethune, Mr. John Laird, Captain Sir Frederic Rico-Aston, R.N., Captain Washington, kc., will give their services. The " Philosophical Com mittee," which will look after philosophical instru ments and processes depending upon their one, is particularly strong, for it consists, with others, of Sir David Brewster, Professor B.C. Brodie, Dr. Car penter, Mr. thosiot, Professors Tyndall and Wheat done, Colonel Sir Henry James, Mr. Ghrisher, tke. In the " Surgicel Committee," which will THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1861. afford the advantage of its judgan.nt and experience in relation to sue. Peal instruments and appliances, are t.. be found the names of Anton, Bryson, Cesar Hawkins, Lawrence, Paget, South, and more of note and high-profeasional credit. We are almost tenipetsl to give the list of the •• Ediazti.si Cum mitte•," which has to sit in judgumit on educa tional works and appliances entire, believing that this will be a departnicut which taunt attract censi.leralile attention, and sill invite no little criticism ; but it may perhaps suffice to say that it contains the names of two es-Viee-Presidents of the Committee of the Privy Council for Edueation, Mr. Adderley and Mr. W. Con per ; the s. cretary to that body, Mr. Lingers ; the DAM!' of Hereford, the Dean of Christ Church ; the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge ; Rev. Dr. Temple, several well-kuown government in 'Teuton' of schools, Dr. Joseph Hooker, Mr. Harry Chester, Mr. J. S. Reynolds Mr. Philip Sclater, the Rev. W. Legere, and no out. In considering the fleueral Conimittee for the Flue Art Department, it is neccsuiry to divide it into three sect ious--nainely, thechief patn NIS of art ; the amateurs amongst whom the former may be included ; and the purely ' .1..131 member.. Amongst t►e find and second are to i.e found the Duke of Buocleuch, 2.larqui.tes cof Laieelowne and Hertford ; Earls Spencer, Stan hope, Malinesbury, Somers, Dudley ; Lonle Ash burton, Oventtone, ijanov.r, Elcho, Taunton ; Sir Stafford Northeote, Mr. R. S. Holton', Mr. H. T. Hope, Mr. Ruskin, Mr. Toot Taylor, Mr. Walter, • ; while the artist clement proper is represented by the respective Presidents of the Royal Aca demy, Royal Scottish and Hibernian Academies, the old and new Societies of Painters in Water Colours, of the Society of British Artists Institute of British Artists anti Royal Institution of British Artiste. This department, which is in a certain sense a new feature as compared with the Exhibition of Isul, has revived a good dual of care and attention in its organization. It in subdi vided into classes, the first of which is " Archi tecture," and the committee embrace. Pro femme Donaldson, Mr. Hayter Lewis, Mr. Beres ford Hope, Mr. G. G. Scott, Mr. Sidney limirke, Mr. Tite, and Mr. Digby Wyatt. The judicial authorities on " Painting,' iu oil and water-colours and drawing'," are, Sir Charles Eastlake, Sir J. W. (Jordon, Mr. Catterson Smith, Mr. Hurletone, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. H. Warren ; while Mr. Redgravu occupies the post of professional adviser to these magnates of the artistic calling. The section of "Art Designs for Manufactures" is committal to the care of the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Dudley, Sir J. P. Boileau, Mr. Bowler, Mr. Henry Cole, Mr. Wane, R.A., Mr. Dlonckton Milne, the. While " Sculpture, Mo dels, Die-sinking and Intaglios Etchings and Engntvings" are under the charge of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Gillen', Morns. Foley and Westmacott, It. A., Mr. Layartl, Mr. W. H. Car penter, Mr. D. Colmighi, Mr. (J. T. Doo, Mr. R. J. Lane, A.R.A., and Mr. W. Smith. It is to. be feared that the information which it wan proposed to ittlionl by the above statement has degenerated somewhat into a mere list of newel,. The only apology that can be offered fee Ruch a defect is to be found in this—that this agglomeration of name' represents the fact of the organization that is to produce an exhibition which, as a whole, has to bear the tests of competition and comparison with its predecessor, teats which will surely be severely applied by doubting prejudice and precouceivel criticism. Long as the catalogue of names in question may appear, they are but a selection made at hazard from the whole 'let, and it will, we think, ho admitted that it indicates a re markable concentration of the intellect, the profes sional skill, the experience, and the judgment of the 'wintry on an undertaking which, while in its pur pose and its application it is decidedly cosmopolitan, is its essence and its organization claims to be purely national. It may perhaps be mentioned that the advertine manta for tenders for contracts for the refreshment deFuttnent of the Exhibition will be out this week. There is a significance in this announcement which will no doubt be duly appreciated. (nor LART nears GAZETTE.)

A letter Inuit Cologne, dated Monday, any. " The Prince of Wales arrived here without much display, and passed yesterday rather quietly. In the afternoon h e spent several boors at the new museum, examining the fine collection of Dusseldorf and other pictures now on ex hibition there. He was so simply dressed, in dark cavalry uniform, that he would have primed unnoticed among the brilliant crowd by which he was surrounded were it not that his features have been made so familiar to the German public through prints and busts. The prince was accom panied by Prince Charles, the brother of the King, the Crown Prince Frederick William, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, the Duke of Wellington, arid several of the Prue. aims and English nobility. The conduct of the vieiton to the museum—and they were very many, as no special preparations were made for the royal party, and everyone who chose to pay his seven-and-a-half groechen for his ticket could enter—was worthy of all praise. There was no vulgar pushing and crowdies to see the strangers, though all present knew well who the distinguished guests were. The Prince of Wales was able to examine the pictures at his leisure without impertinent intrusion ; and at the move time there was DO obsequious hurrying out of his way or officious efforts to attract his attention, but all present, both titled and untitled, behaved like gentlemen. The heir ti the English throne showed in his every movement the mine genuine unaffectedness which always characterises him, and the entire party appeared to enjoy and appreciate the admirable works of art they had some to see."

Yesterday a new fast steamer, the Victoria, made her first voyage from Folkestone to Boulogne and back in the extmonlinary Wet periods of 1 hour and 34 minutes and 1 hem and 33 minute* respectively, or at a rate of 20 miles per hour. Ia the voyage over she encountered au adverse sea, but only once or twice shipped any water. On the return voyage a strong north wind was dead ahead of her. In tine weather, therefore, she may be expeeed to do the 30 miles, which is probably the course of the passenger steamers, in 1 ►our and 20 minutes. The present advertised time of the reeipasy's boats is two hours and 10 minutes ; but with each wind and sea as yesterday the ordinary boat. would probably take 10 or 15 minutes longer. The saying in time by the Victoria over the beets hitherto used may, there fore, be reckoned at three-quarters of an hour.

It is curious that, while a telegram from Turin, dated this day, gives the rational and probable ground for Garibaldi's refusal to accept a command in the United States, that he "cannot leave Italy while Venice and Rome are groaning in slavery," the Monikar should think it worth while to quote from the Italie an assertion that Garibaldi only declined Mr. Lincoln's offer because the American minister who conveyed it was not able to adhere to certain conditions, proposed by the general. In spite of the -Waiter , r, I do not believe that Garibaldi ever entertained the proposal for a single instant. A Naples letter of Sept. 12, in the Patric., re ferring to a narrow escape of the brigand chief Chiavone, after an encounter with the Italian troops in which he lest 11 kiUed and 10 wounded (made prisoners), says : Chiavone still pursues his old system. Whenever ho gets a supply of men he attacks Son, and if he is beaten he retires to the States of the Church, only two hours' march from Sores, and prepares in perfect safety for another foray. This is the system of brigandage which Napoleon notwithstanding the admirable sentiments recently expressed by the Constitution,/ and Pays, continues to protect. •It is most desirable that the Persigny element of the French cabinet, which there is much reason for hoping is now uppermost, should speedily prove its influence by action. M. Petrucoelli do la Gattina, the Italian deputy, publishes in the Freese the first of a series of papers touching the conferences of Gaeta of 1849, in which ho proposes to prove, by diplomatic docu ments, that a bi-lateral contract was made be tween Franco and the Pope, as the condition of his restoration, that France has fulfilled her part of the contract, and that the Pope has broken his. The thsipatches of the French ministers of the day show conclusively that France, while constituting herself the champion of the Pope, professed to stipulate for the " liberties of the Roman people." A note of M. de Rayneval, dated May 3, 1849, is said by the moo to be at once "an exposition of principles, a protest, and a prophecy." M. Nogeut St. Laurent lass gone to Corsica to support the appeal of M. Fabiani, the editor of the Obaervateur de la Corse t against the conviction for a libel on the Procureur-General, which convic tion, as I lately noticed, made an extraordinary sensation in the island. It is not unimportant to observe that M. Nogent St. Laurent is a thick and thin supporter of the imperial government in the Corps Legislatif. - - It is announced that the Minister of Justice is drawing up a bill to be presented to the Corps Legislatif. at the opening of the unit session, for the abolition of the cellular system in prisons.

The following brief telegrams have arrived from Queenstown : " QUEENSTOWN, TUGSLIAY, 3.30 P.M.—The Oreat Eastern is reported off the Old Head of Kin , ale, making for this harbour. " 4 p.m.—The Great Eastern is reported in the offing, disabled. Assistance has been scot to her. "7 P. u.—The Great Eastern is now being towed into the harbour. H.M.S. Advice has aho gone to her awdatance. ‘ 7 l) ;37. —T1143 Great Eastern has been obliged to bring up one mile outside of the lighthouse, where she will remain till morning. She has lost her paddle wheels, and her rudder and steering gear are damaged." (From the Cork 014errer of yesterday.) The Great Eastern arrived off Cork Harbour this (Tuesday) evening, in a very damaged state. She encountered a very heavy gale about 280 miles to the west of Cape Clear, on Thursday, and had both paddles completely carried away, while I the top of the rudder post (a bar of I iron 10 inches in diameter) was wrenched away, lo that she was no longer able to answer the helm. %he lay like a log in the trough of the sea from Thursday evening, until 2 o'clock on the Sunday following, all the time her bulwarks alumet touch ing the water. The furniture of the cabin and saloons was completely broken to pieces, and the greater part of the passengers' luggage was destroyed. A cow-shed, with two cows in it, was broken into the ladies' cabin, and both cows were killed. The passengers and crew ex pected every minute that the vessel would go down, and they spent a great part of the time at prayers. Between 20 and 30 of those on board, including several ladies, had limbs, ribs, &c., fractured, and numerous cuts and bruises were indicted. A tem porary steering gear was fitted ou Sunday, and the vessel made for Cork Harbour, sailing with her screw at the rata of nine knots an hour. She is at present moored about one mile outside the light house off Cork Harbour. AUSTRIA. The Municipal Council of Prague, in the sitting of the 11th, discussed the question of the language to be employed in public instruction. The debate was animated, and a motion that the Tcheque (Bohemian) language should be employed in all the schools of Prague from next year was adopted by a majority of 43 votes to 12. A motion of M. Piuke, proposing that in each district of the city &German school should be established, was re jected by 37 votes to 20. M. Schubert declared that the decisions of the assembly violated the rights of the German populations, and that he protested. This drew forth murmurs from the persons in the gallery, and several members of the council retired. M. Dolzauer said that he sup ported the protest of M. Schubert. " Equality of rights," cried he, "is spoken of, but equality is destroyed ; we shall, however, know how to protect our rights." The German members then withdrew, and the sitting broke up in the midst of great agitation. JOHN BROWN. (From the New York Independent, August 2D.) Who would have dreamed, a year and a half since, that a thousand men in the streets of New York would be heard singing reverently and enthusisatieall in praise of John Brown ! Such a scene was wi tnessed Saturday evening litat. One of the new regiments from Massachusetts on its way through this city to the seat of war sang— " John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-moulderiog in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, His soul's marching on ! Glory Hallelujah! Glory Hallelujah! Glory Hallelujah!" The stanzas which follow are in the some wild strain : " His gone to boa soldier in the army of the Lord, &c., His sonl's marching on ! Jobs Brown's knapsack is strapped upon bis back, Lc.. His soul's marching on ! His pet lambs will meet him (A the way, Lc., They go marching on !" Seldom, if ever, has New York witnessed much a sight or heard such • strain. No military hero of the present war has been thus honoured. No statesman has thus loosed the tongues of a thousand men to chaunt his patriotism. Little did Captain Brown think of the national struggles that were to follow his eventful death. But his calmness and firmness gave evidence of Lis faith that the cause of freedom demanded the sacrifice of his life, and he nobly died. It was ■ notable fact that while the regiment united as with one voice singing this song, thousands of private citizens, young and old, on the sidewalks and in crowded doorways and windows, joined in the chorus. The music was in itself impressive, and many an eye was wet with team. Few who witnessed the triumphal tread of that noble band arrayed for the war for freedom will ever forget the thrilling tones of that song.

The advices from Halifax by the Cunard steamer yesterday are important as regards the gold discoveries in 'ova Scotia. The extent and richness of the deposits, and their probable influence on the future of the colony, appear scarcely yet to have been appreciated on this side. The present mail brings a report made by Mr. Joseph Howe, the provincial secretary, to the governor, Lord Mulgravc, which encourages very favourable anticipation,. The existence of gold in Nova Scotia was unsuspected till 1860, when some particles were found, and caused an excitement which proved but temporary, the quan tities being unremunerative. In March last, however, a man, stooping to drink at a brook in the neighbourhood of the Tangier river, saw a piece of gold shining among the pebbles, and, searching, found more. The locality, which is forty miles eastward of Halifax, was most favourable for mining operations, being within half a mile of navigation, and surrounded by a hardy fishing population, and gradu ally numerous persons were attracted to it. Two mouths after the governor visited the spot, and ascertained, among other facts, that a couple of men bad just obtained front au excavation four feet square and five deep, 151., at an expen• diturs of labour which might be estimated at about 11.55. As this was not derived from the chance discovery of a nugget, but from crushing the quarts, veins of which are supposed to run for miles along the sea coast, it was naturally inferred that there must be profitable employment in the district for a numerous population. Official measures were therefore taken to give such facilities as might be re quired. Lots of 50 feet b► 20 were laid off by the govern ment surveyor at 41. each, the money thus received being applied to the preppies of drainage and of making a road to the shore. From that time confidence in tho resources of the mines has steadily increased, and the numbers at work there all the summer have ranged between 400 and 800. The total of snail lots taken up is about 95, for which 475/. has been paid. The quantity of gold obtained cannot be estimated, as no royalty is exacted, but, judging from the sums brought to Halifax, it is believed to have been large, although none but the most aim. pie processes have yet been used. The lowest depth yet reached is 4s feet, and the largest nugget found is valued at 691. Throughout the whole of the proceedings the population have manifested the utmost enter, honesty, and good feeling. Discoveries have also been made at a place called Lunenburg Harbour, about sixty miles to the westward of Halifax. Quartz veins are here abundant in the cliffs, and it has been found that wherever these cliffs have been washed and crumbled by the sea the surrounding sands are rich. Companies are preparing for systematic operations, and meanwhile many individuals have been successful. The facilities of this place, likewise, are excellent, as it is perfectly accessible by water, and quarts can be shipped with ease. Other deposits have since bees observed at localities called Dartmouth, Street harbour, Lswrencetown, and Lake Thomas ; and, indeed, quarts rock is found all along the southern cunt, and running for miles back icto the interior. EMIGRATION (AUSTRALIA). This morning a return was usual of the number of emigrants sent by the Emigration Coinmiseioners to Australia in the year ending 31st August last. The total number sent was 2,229. Of these, 769 were from England, 923 from Ireland, and 537 from Scotland. The following letter is attached to the return : "Emigration Office, Sept. 2, 1861. "Sir,—ln obedience to the instructions oantaluel in your letter of the 12th ultimo, I have the honour to trans mit herewith a return of the emigrants sent by us to Australia in the present year, made out in accordance with the resolution of the House of Common., dated the sth ultimo, which acconimmied your letter. 2. The return, especially as it is only for a few months in by far the least busy year we have had since 1847, carries on the face of at but little significance. It nary not be out of place, therefore, to explain, for the information of the Duke of Neweaatle, that the rule which we have been desired to keep in view in the emigration carried on at the expense of colonial funda, is to draw the emigrants from each of the three great divisions of the ruited King dom, as far as practicable in the ratio of their respective populations. According to this rule, the proportion of Irish who should have been sent out in the period embraced in the return, if calculated on the census of 1851, would have been 531; and if on the census taken in April last, 443, whereas it was actually 923. 3. If the proportions were struck on the numbers sent out in the last three years, and on th e basis of the census of 1651, the sae would stand thus: — Numbers that should have been sent - -English, :91362 Scotch, 3,255 ; Irish, 7,3114. Numbers actually sent — English, 13,581 ; Scotch, 4.616 ; Irish , 12,AM. Excess — Scotch. 1,361; Irish, 5,420. Deficieney—Euglish, 6,781. 4. The moms for the great disproportion 14 Irish are (1), the difficulty which has sometimes been experienced in ob taining a sufficient number of English--especially single women ; and (2), the great number of Irish nominated by their friends in the colonies for passages under certain co lonial regulations termed remittance regulations.' -I have, kr., "S.
