LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1862. By the time our impression of to-day has gone to press, the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1862 will have been formally inaugurated. The Park guns will be still warm and smirched within by their recent discharges—the aisles of the Great Palace of Art and Industry, down at South Kensington, will still vibrate with the echoes of the choral chant and of the instrumental music, the sound of the drums and trumpets, accentuating, as it were, the rhythmic march of the procession. So far as the inaugurative ceremonies of the Ist of May, 1862, are concerned, they will be as entirely things of the Past when these words of ours fall under the observation of our readers, as the inaugurative cere mony of the Ist of May, 1851. The re trospect opened up to view at the mere momentary juxtaposition of these two memorable dates— divided from each other by an interval of eleven eventful years—is in its way as remarkable, surely, humanly speaking, as any retrospect of equal brevity of which the world has record. It is one that contradicts point blank the most confident apocalyptic foreshado wings, if we could dare to call them so, of that popular Scotch divine who has been so long predicting (with perpetual postponements) the advent of the millennium. Alas ! the eleven years between these two May days—that of 1851 and that of 1862—have served effectually to dissipate the daydream, indulged in, of yore, under the glittering arch of the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park at the commencement of those same eleven years ! Years crowded with sanguinary conflicts in various parts of the world—on the Baltic and on the Euxine, in the Crimea and in Morocco, in - China and New Zealand, in Japan and North America ! Eleven warlike and momentous years, closing with armies reorganised and navies rebuilt, and with England so far armed to the teeth against any possible invasion, that she has now a permanent National Guard of some 200,000 Rifle Volun teers ! Eleven years, in fine, that find us at their close so formidably prepared, or fast preparitg, for any chances of battle, whether by sea or land, that our beau ideal of a war-ship is an impregnable floating fortress, walled with shot proof iron; and our ne plus ultra (as yet), in the shape of rifled cannon, hurl projectiles with a velocity, and to a distance that just simply out-Warners poor dead and gone Captain WARNER ! Yet, in spite of all this, there are still cherished, deep in our heart's core, hopes and prayers for the ultimate realisation of peace throughout the world—more reasonable hopes and prayers of this kind than those which were but too eagerly cherished eleven swift years ago. The wiser day-dream of to-day being aptly illustrated by the charming fancy just given to the world by one of the artists in our London Charivari —The celestial form of the White-Winged Angel of Peace seated upon a Giant Armstrong Gun, and tenderly covering the deadly vent with the edge of her sacred robe. We have already contrasted the conduct of our Lancashire operatives under their present sufferings with what would have been that of American workmen in a parallel case—we have just now a fresh illustration of it. A large meeting of the un employed operatives has just been held in Steven son-square, Manchester, to make a public represen tation of their condition, and to appoint a deputa tion to the authorities praying them to adopt means to alleviate the present distress. The masters had their meeting, a few days ago, to con cert measures, but there seemed to be much dif ference of opinion in regard to the distress said to exist, it being, happily, but little visible, in the streets. The operatives' meeting seems to have been chiefly designed to make public the fact that the distress is extensive, and real, and to complain of some hindrances in the way of obtaining reason- able assistance. Had such a meeting been called in America, be. cause England by some quarrel with which America had nothing in the world to do, was practically de- priving her operatives of bread, we should assuedly have had no end of bitter denunciation of the mother country with threats of sending Merrimacs and Monitors to break the blockade, Our work men, most creditably to their good sense, spoke on the subject as if they had been reading Vattel or Phillimore. If Captain. WILKEs had had half their sense he would have saved us a deal of trouble, and Mr. GLADSTONE a heavy pull upon his small sur- plus. Not a commander in the American Navy, however, but JOHN FINNIGAN, a " beamer and twister," in proposing the first resolution, said that " the great distress which had existed had not been brought about by any fault of the Government of this country, but it was owing in a great measure to the unfortunate inter necine war which wes now desolating America." With equal considerations he spoke of their local social superiors. " There was," he said, "a great amount of sympathy existing at the present time for the condition of the working classes; and it would ill become them to use one expression that would have a tendency to retard the flow of those sympathetic feelings. They had reason to be thank ful to the chief magistrate of the city for the good feeling he had manifested in calling a meeting of the independent gentlemen in the city, with a view of devising means of ameliorating the condition of the suffering. At the meeting to which he referred which was held on Friday, a great diversity of opinion prevailed. This might have been expected, as no man could be aware of the extent of the suffer ings of the people, unless on a thorough investiga- tion from street to street." This id not the lan guage of wilful, quarrelsome men, but language which must conciliate respect wherever it is read. In proportion to its numbers, the population of Manchester does not appear to suffer so much as some of the smaller Lancashire towns in the same trade. It was stated at the meeting, that 8,000 men were working on short time ; but their mas ters, we are told, sympathising with their hard ships, actually "gave them all their dinners every day in the mill." When difficulties are met with this spirit by masters, we cannot wonder men are found so moderate and reasonable. But great numbers are altogether unemployed-4,000 at least are known to be in this position ; but now arises the question—why then had only seventy eight applied for relief to the Union ? Was one of the speakers entitled to argue from this, at the mas ters' meeting, that there was not much distress? The reply of the same speaker was, thht it was due to the English spirit of the work ing men. "The spirit of the Lancashire ope ratives," he said, " had been applauded in the highest quarters in the land. Their independence, their patience, and their forbearance had been the theme of statesmen ; and he for one gloried in being associated with men who would rather sell every article of furniture and pawn every vestige of clothing before they would stoop to have the name of pauper branded on their brow. This in nate pride in the working classes prevented them from making application to the Poor-law Guardians, well knowing, as they did, the humiliating pro cesses through which they would have to go before they got 2s. 6d. for five days' work in a stone-yard ; and, if they missed a day, would have sixpence knicked off." We cannot wonder that sucha state ment elicited sounds which on some occasions the meeting might have heard in the House of Com mons itself. We can appreciate fully the difficulties of the guardians with such a body of industrious men suffering from enforced idleness, almost suddenly thrown upon them ; to avoid imposition is the only thing, we may be quite sure, which they desire. Such men as assembled in this meeting know, in the bottom of their souls, that they would not im pose if they could ; they would only too gladly give full value for the best wages they could earn ; but the men themselves will frankly confess that the guardians and relieving-officers have no means of knowing, almost at sight, the honest men in want from the impostor, who makes their known want the means of his imposture. Could the working men devise no unchallengeably honest organisation of their own, by which they could guarantee in a case like the present, when wholesale relief is needed, that the applicants they sent needed the help ? They can better detect impostors among their own class than the parish officers can ; and it seems conceivable that a committee of the most intelligent, upright, and trusted of their own num ber could lighten, very effectively, the labours of the officials. One thing is obvious—hard manual labour is not the proper test for operatives who have not been used to it. Their muscular system fails beneath it. Long continuance at it might, indeed, unfit them for resuming their more delicate opera tions when work returned. What, however, strikes us throughout with the greatest admiration is, the excellent spirit of the suffering population ; may it long continue, but never let it be a pretext for neglecting to contri bute to their relief. A potato rot and a cotton rot cause, it may be, equal distress, so far they are alike—but the former was due solely to that will to which we all must bow, there was nothing in it to irritate us with our fellow men. The cotton failure is, on the contrary, caused entirely by the ambition of Northern Americans to force into political union with themselves a people who bitterly hate them— and, for this ambition, tens of thousands of our workmen, and of French workmen too, are to be starved, or thrown on charity ! We do say that to us it is wonderful that such sufferers do not exclaim " We have paid onr share of £300,000 for the Warrior, our share of the £11,000,000 for the navy—we demand that you go and reopen our communications." The American blockade, we must say ourselves, touches so closely on a reduction of our case to that necessity which has no law but itself, that, if long continued, it will certainly raise the question how much the Governments of Europe will sacrifice to Northern lust of territory and power • A Liverpool contemporary inserts a letter from Turin which makes some very curious revelations. Our contemporary's knowledge of the origin of the letter and the channel through which it was re ceived are, of course, our only guarantee for its trustworthiness, but we have certainly no reason to doubt the reliableness of the Liverpool Mercury n such a matter. The story, in brief, is that the Heir Apparent of the Italian Throne, Prince HUMBERT, wishes to come to England at the time of the Great Exhibi tion, and to come via Paris, but .that the Emperor of the FRENCH puts his veto on the journey by that way, and, virtually by any other. The KING, like our own SOVEREIGN, is desirous to fit his son to occupy his own throne, not only by giving him a good education, a far better one than he received himself, but to qualify him to rule at home by see ing what he can of nations abroad. England was to be the first country visited by him, and the year of the Exhibition was thought to be a specially in structive one for a young man of eighteen. But he must needs go through France; he has a married sister there, and the political relations between the two Governments might have given it the air of intended evasion if he went round by Gibraltar, or by Germany and Belgium. Still it was desired to make a mere formal visit to France, and to be received at Court there afterwards, perhaps on his return ; but to proceed at once for England. This arrangement was just the one which the EMPEROR is said to have made use of to forbid the journey. The EMPEROR was in every way courteously notified of the intended visit, but a reply is sent that " Prince HUMBERT cannot, even in passing through France, dispense with paying a visit to the Court." At first sight this would seem nothing more than a bit of over -sensitive ceremoniousness. There seems, however, to have been a much deeper meaning. The Prince, as representative of the House of Savoy, is supposed also to represent antagonism to Popery, while the fair Empress is equally supposed to represent femine devotion to it. Hence, if the Prince went, to Court, its most essential personage must either be present, and receive him with damaging Coldness, or with equally damaging effect must, on that day leave the Tuilleries for St. Cloud. She could not very graciously receive the son of the King, who has been excommunicated by the Holy Father, the object of EUGENIE'S most tender religious affection. At present, therefore, all parties, Emperor, King, and Empress, are described as annoyed or exaspe rated. The Emperor is said to have requested the King to put off his son's journey till a more conve nient season, and to save him from a family quarrel; the King's answer is not yet known, it seems, however, to be assumed that the Government and Court of Turin are not in a position to send the Prince by Switzerland, the Rhine, and Holland, which would certainly be for him the pleasanter route. It !s vexatious to see how even in such minor matters as these the false position of the Emperor in his per tinacious occupation of what is really VICTOR EM MANUEL'S capital, brings its annoyances with it. Louis NAPOLEON and the French have no better political right to cccupy Rome than VICTOR EM MANUEL and the Italians to occupy Paris. A deep consciousness of wrong must pervade the hearts of a Sovereign and people who feel themselves thus trampled on by a man to whom they freely confess they owe much. The consequences of the occupa tion are bad enough, but its ungenerousness is, if possible, even worse, The Southern brigandage which it inevitably fosters and protects—the mili tary weakness, in the face of the Quadrilateral, of which it is the cause—these are, of course, great material evils. But, in combination w ith th e Savoy and Nice affair, this mean advantage taken of the comparative weakness of Italy by the Power which began as her deliverer, deprives France of all claims to magnanimity. " I have helped you to partial emancipation, therefore be grateful—l refuse you still a part of your own, but try to take it if you dare"—is unworthy language of France at present. In that delightfully Roundabout way that we are all of us so well accustomed to in our deal ings with the Circumlocution Office the intricate maze of all the twistings and wind ingo of which we can only hope to traverse securely by following a clue of red tape— after this most pleasant official manner we have at last been enabled to learn what General Lord CLYDE thinks of the Brighton Review, and of the Volunteers generally. The gallant and noble Veteran, it now appears, wrote, on the 24th, to Lieutenant-General Sir J. Y. SCAR LETT, the Adjutant-General of her MAJESTY'S Forces, a communication, in which he expressed his admiration of the bearing and dis cipline of the Volunteer force that had passed before him on the Monday preceding the date of his letter, being, in fact, the Easter Monday of 1862. This communication of General Lord CLYDE was, thereupon, laid in due course by its recipient, the Adjutant-General, Sir J. Y. SCAR LETT, before his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the General Commanding-in-Chief. By his Royal Highness, Lord CLYDE'S letter to the Adjutant-General was subsequently forwarded on to the Right Hon. Sir G. C. LEWIS, her MAJESTY'S Secretary of State for War. And now, by order of the Secretaiy of State, the Earl DE GREY and RIPON, Sir GEORGE'S Under Secretary, for wards the report on to ourselves, among others, for the purpose of publication. So that at lent, nearly a fortnight after the Review, at any rate ten days after it has passed by, the public learns what was thought about it by the gallant and noble veteran who on Easter Monday presided over it. Lord CLYDE'S excellent letter, it will be seen by those who turn to it in another part of our issue of this evening, gives us in an admiraby lucid and sue ciuct form, within the compass indeed of a very few sentences, a record of the extent and character of the whole of this last and very interesting demonstration on the part of the Volunteers. General Lord CLYDE recalls to mind at the outset the fact that the force reviewed by him was a force of 20,000 Volunteers. His Lordship commends —and with reason the " excellent arrangements " entered into with the Railway Companies, long before Easter Mon day dawned, by Colonel *Mum)°, the experienced Inspector-General of all the now numerous corps of our Riflemen, "Aided by the punctuality and order of the Volunteers themselves," says Lord CLYDE, " the whole of this large force, portions of which came from distant districts, arrived at the times appointed, and immediately proceeded with perfect regularity to their several places of rendezvous, where the companies were told off, and the bat talions formed for drill and manoeuvre;' Their march thence, that is from the various places of rendezvous, to the White Hawk Down, is then duly noted down as having been performed, in each case, with laudable precision. The summary then given by Lord CLYDE, is, in its brevity, strictly in harmony with the review itself, which the noble and gallant writer himself explains, was judiciously conducted with all convenient speed, so as to enable the Volunteer to return home at as early a date as the inspection itself would admit of. " After riding down the front of the lines," he says, " the march ing past in open column at once commenced; and, on the whole, was admirably performed; showing what pains must, have been taken by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men to arrive at the high degree of efficiency which they had attained/ Finally came the simple manoeuvres, observed with so much bewildered satisfaction by the specta tors assembled upon and around the Grand Stand. Having thus specified, in a few words, what it was that had been actually done at the Review of these 20,000 Volunteers, General Lord CLYDE distributes the proportion of praise re spectively deserved, according to his judgment, by those who were engaged more or less promi nently in getting through their movements. From Colonel M'MURDO and his Staff downwards each comes in for his due share—commanders, officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, Altogether the noble Veteran's communication is a most grati- Eying souvenir of a Review, that was not only a delightful, gala-day's show, bat really remarkable also in a patriotic point of view.

A communication from Turin, of the 25th ult. aays " At San Rossore, the King, when on his way.to Naples, paid a visit to one of the finest of the estates belonging to the Crown. San Rossore is a magni ficent farm, founded by the Medicis, which many superb palaces might envy. It is situated on the saa coa. , ,t, in the midst of immense plantations, which afford extensive hunting grounds, and is ap proached by an avenue of elms and poplars more than two miles in length. The revenues of this property must be immense, as in cows alone it pos sesses more than two thousand. Another pecu liarity of the place is that camels live there, and multiply as if they were in the desert; about 20 are occupied in the labours of the farm, whilst the others are living in a savage state in the wood. M. Ra- tazzi has been to Sienna to visit the numerous victims of the late accident at Asciano, from the collision of two trains on the Florence and Sienna Railway. The King charged him to deliver 5,000 fr. to the committee formed to relieve the wounded, and the families of those who perished. The cure of Vit toune, near Milan, has discovered a means of has tening the solution of the Italian question, and this is what he proposed at one of the last assemblies of the Ecclesiastical Society at Milan, which is the most numerous Liberal society in all Italy :—That the committee should place itself at the head of a petition addressed to the Pope, entreating him, in the name of religion, which is menaced, to renounce the temporal power; that the petition should be sent to all the priests in Italy, with the request to give their adhesion to it; lastly, that a deputation of Lombard priests should proceed to Rome to lay the address at the feet of the Holy Father. The idea is good, and will, it is said, be carried into execution. It is thought impossible that the Pope should refuse to receive the :deputation, and the more so that it will be composed of honourable men, who, as priests, are irreproachable." The .Espero of Turin announces that the Minister of Marine, Admiral Persano, has ordered the con struction of eight more iron-cased frigates. The cost of these vessels is to be defrayed partly in the current year and partly in 1863. DISEASED CATTLE.—In a report just issued by the Registrar-General of Scotland he calls the attention of the public to the fact that ever since the pleuro• pneumonia broke out among the cattle of this country a few years since the returns of mortality have shown that carbuncle, a dis • ease formerly very rare, has become comparatively com mon. Dr. Livingstone observed in Africa that if the flesh of animals who die from pleuro-pneumonia is eat en it causes carbuncle in the persons who eat it, and that neither bailing nor roasting the flesh nor cooking it in any way gets rid of the poison. It is true that if such cattle are ever sold for food they are killed before they fall victims to the disease naturally, but still the poison is in them. The report sug. gests as a subject of inquiry whether the new form of dis ease which we term diphtheria may not be partially induced by the use of diseased flesh. The new flag of the United Principalities, accord ing to the pattern decided on by the convention of Paris, has been officially recognised by the Porte. 4is 1.4 yel low, and blue, placed horizontally, OPENING OF THE GREAT I EXHIBITION-THIS DAY. The ceremony of opening the Great International Exhibition took place to-day with all the gorgeous. ness, grandeur, and solemnity indicated in the official programme. Fortunately the weather was most propitious, an unclouded sky, a bright sun, and a genial atmos phere contributed in no small degree to lend a charm to the day which was to witness the assemblage of the people from nearly every quarter of the globe in one immense splendid structure, to compete for honour in peaceful and friendly rivalry. Those who had secured their privilege of entering the building were stirring at a early hour, and although the time for opening for the admission of company was half-past ten o'clock, long before that hour vehicles of every description filled the princi pal routes to the different entrances of the Exhibi tion—the occupants seemingly content to wait with patience until the doors were open. The stream of carriages coming across Hyde Park from the Bayswater-road, and from thence through Queen's-gate into Prince Albert's-road was im: mense, and the same remark will apply to those proceeding by the Knightsbridge and Brompton roads—in fact it was a stream of conveyances which we may venture to say, for length, was never wit nessed on any former occasion—not even on the opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851. Notwithstanding that it was generally known that her Majesty would not take part in the pro ceedings of to-day, the crowd that assembled in front of Buckingham Palace was very great. Spec tators also lined either side of Constitution-hill— in fact, the same was the case throughout the whole route of the Royal Commissioners, from her Ma jesty's Palace to the Exhibition at Kensington. The ground was kept by the Life Guards, but the arrangements by no means seemed very perfect. The crowd, from the circumstance that the military were posted on either side one of the gates, near the Gretn-park, imagined that that would be the one through which the Commis sioners would pass, but about a quarter of an hour before that the military were hurriedly ordered off to the next gate at the extreme end of the iron rail ing, but on the same side. This, of course, created some confusion, but the crowd appeared good humoured, and some laughing and joking about the loss of good places was the only result. At a quarter to 12 his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury arrived. Lord Palmerston followed at about .ten minutes past twelve, and his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by the Hon. James Macdonald and several military officers, in two of the Royal carriages drove up at twenty five minutes past twelve. At twenty minutes to one the words "draw, present," were given to the Life Guards, and in a few minutes after the procession started. The Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Pal merston, the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, rode in their own carriages. The Duke of Cambridge and his suite occupied two of the royal carriages, the attendants being dressed in the full State livery. The next three royal carriages were occupied by the Crown Prince of Frussia and the other distin guished personages now visitors at Buckingham Palace. There was a slight cheer raised as the Prince of Prussia passed by. The black liveries of the footmen seemed to remind the crowd that silence would be the best way of showing respect to his Royal Highness. The great point of attraction for the sight-seers appeared to be the Cromwell-road, as it was gene rally known that all who had received "special" invitations would enter the building by the South Entrance, situate in that locality. As the process of " setting down" the company was extremely slow, and fearfully tedious to those who were a long way off and were obliged to wait their turn, it may easily be imagined that their pa tience was taxed to the utmost; but nevertheless they bore all with the best possible good humour. In other directions marked out by the authori ties in Scotland-yard for the approach of visitors, there were also long lines of vehicles all slowly but steadily advancing towards the grand rendezvous. A vast number of visitors arrived on foot, and they appeared to be more fortunate than the others in gaining admission to the interior in time to secure the most eligible seats in the divisions to which their tickets applied. But for this convenience they had to pay the penalty of remaining standing amongst an immense crowd for a considerable time outside the building. At the first opening of the doors the crowding, notwithstanding the entreaties that had been made by the executive committee, was to all appearance terrific. All thought of in jury to dress was forgotten, and the main object of each of the strugglers appeared to be how best he could elbow his way through the crowd. After a short time, however, force seemed to give way to good sense and consideration, and at the time we left that part of the Exhibition they seemed to be going on in the most amicable manner. For upwards of two hours after the opening of the doors there was a continued stream of elegantly dressed ladies pouring into the building from every entrance. The coup d'cell presented by the crowd was very singular, but brilliant in the extreme. Shortly before one every person was on the tip toe of expectation. Crowds of visitors who had been unsuccessful in obtaining seats were rushing about in all directions—ladies separated from their husbands, lovers from their fair ones, seeking about on the very verge of despair—officers striving to keep clear the passages, and evidently perplexed by the unwonted character of the immense assembly with which they had to deal, scarcely venturing to give directions opposed to the wishes of many of the fair supplicants. We feel bound to say, however, that there appeared a great desire for mut ua l accommo d a tion, which, in an assembly so vast, where all were endeavouring to press close to one particular spot, contributed materially to preserve order and regularity. As the time wore on, and the time for the arrival of the Royal Commissioners approached, each person appeared to have settled into their right places, or as near so as possible, and the groups that had been hurrying to and fro subsided into a settled order. The scene presented at this point was of the most splendid description, the sun shone forth on the rich uniforms which were mingled together, of all colours and of all nations. A flourish of trumpets announced the arrival of the Queen's Commissioners—his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Lord High Chancellor, the Earl of Derby, K.G., the Lord Chamberlain, Viscount Palmerston, K.G., G.C.8., and the Speaker of the House of Commons. They entered the building, according to previous arrangement, from the Cromwell-road. Her Majesty's Ministers, the Foreign Commissioners, and others taking part in the procession, who had been waiting the arrival of the Queen's Commissioners in the South Central Court, joined the Commissioners, and a procession formed in the following order :--- Trumpeters of the Life Guards in State Uniforms. Contractors' Superintendents. Her Majesty's Commissioners' Superintendents of Building Works. Contractors, Decorator, and Architect. Superintendents of Exhibition Arrangements. Alfred Tennyson, E sq ., D.C.L., Poet Laureate. The Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Frovost of Edinburgh, The Lord Provost of Glasgow, and the Lord Alayor of Dublin. Macebearer and Swordbearer of the City of London preceding the Lord Mayor of London, and Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. Council of Horticultural Society, and Secretary.

Her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, and Secretary, The Bishop o f L on d on, accompanied by the Archdeac on s, Middlesex, and the Incumbent of the Parish. Her Majesty's Ministers (Not being either Commissioners for the Exhibition of 182 or Special Commissioners for the opening). President of the Poor-law Board. Chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster. Postmaster -General. President of the Board of Trade. Chancellor of Exchequer. First Lord of the Admiralty. Secretary for India. Secretary of State for War. Secretary of State for Colonies.

Gentlemen in attendance on Royal Personages. Detachments from the Marines, Grenadier Guards, Engi neers, Artillery, Horse and Life Guards, and Seamen. The procession advanced to the Western Dome, where a chair of state had been placed, and, after the National Anthem had been sung, an address was delivered by the Earl Granville, K.G., chair man of the Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862, and an answer returned by his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., on behalf of the Queen's Commissioners for opening the Exhibition . The procession then moved down the nave to the East Dome, when the special musical performances took place. The music, specially composed for this occasion, consisted of a grand Overture by M. Meyerbeer, a Chorale by Dr. Sterndale Bennett, and a Grand March by M. Auber. At the conclu sion of the special music the procession advanced to the throne in the centre of the nave. A prayer was then offered by the Bishop of London, and the Hallelujah Chorus and the National Anthem were sung. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge afterwards declared the Exhibition opened. The declaration was announced to the public by a flourish of trumpets, and by the firing of a salute on the north side of the Serpentine. The procession then proceeded to the picture galleries, and shortly afterwards many of the barriers were removed and the public allowed to circulate. Every department, considering all the circum stances, made an excellent show, and the appear ance of the interior, compared with that which it presented but twenty-four hours ago, seemed as if it had been wrought by the wand of an enchanter. ARRIVAL OF TILE JAPANESE AMBASSADORS. . The represent a ti ves o f the Emperor of Japan , landed at Dover yesterday, on their arri-val in Eng land upon the mission with which they are entrusted. As already announced, the ambarssailors are three in number—we will not venture 'co repeat their names —and they are attended by a long retinue of officers and servants, and also by their official interpreter, Mr. Macdonald. The novelty of the visit and of the personages composing the mission caused a vast assemblage of spectators to crowd the Admiralty pier, where the ambassadors and their suite londed at about half - past 12 o'clock, from the French war steamer Le Corse. Upon the vessel steaming along side, her passengers, who were clustered about the deck, presented a singular but not unpicturesque group, with their large hats, silken trousers, and other peculiarities of dress—not the least prominent of which were the carved handles of the weapons, which all wore by their sides. By their manner they showed that the immense crowd who had as sembled to greet them was no less an object of cu riosity to them than they themselves were to the spectators. They seemed eagerly on the alert to note whatever might transpire, and the excited jabbering and wild confusion of the French sailors as they moored the vessel alongside the pier seemed to afford them all great amusement—except one of the suite, in all probability the accredited draughtsman, Rho stood, amid the hubbub, absorbed in taking a sketch of the magnificent old pile of beildings forming Dover Castle, from the batteries of which an ambassado rial salute was being discharged. This gentle man transferred the scene to paper with great rapi dity, and seemed to be so completely occupied that it might be supposed nothing short of instant ship wreck would have diverted him from his task. After the boat had been moored several military officers, including the commandant of the garrison, Brigadier General Garvock, with his aide-de-camp, the Hon. Captain Chetwynd, and Colonel Cuppage, R.A., proceeded on board, and were presented to two of the ambassadors, who occupied covered chairs on the quarter-deck, and who seemed wisely resolved to ccntinue such occupation in preference to trusting their legs to the unsteady roll of Le Corse. They rose, however, as the officers ap proached, and an interchange of civilities took place, the English officers touching their hats and the Japanese removing theirs. The members of the suite appeared to be on excellent terms with one or two of the Frenchmen, who embraced with much ardour on their leaving the vessel. At the landing stairs, the mayor '(Mr. J. Bir mingham), the members of the corporation, and several of , the magistrate s , were i n waiting to re ceive their Japanese excellencies. The corporate authorities, who were attired in their robes of office, and preceded by the mace, conducted the ambassa dors to the Lord Warden Hotel, where, after some delay, an address was presented, the principal pas sages of which were interpreted to their excellen cies by Mr. Macdonald. They replied, through him, that they heartily reciprocated thelsentiments of amity and good will which it conveyed. The members of the embassy with their suite left Dover by special train of the South-Eestern Railway at three o'clock. THE CIVIC PROCESSION. —The aldermen and commoners of the corporation in their official costume met the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs at Guildhall this morning, and proceeded, headed by the City police, through King street, Cheapside, Newgate-street, Holborn, and Oxford street, to the Marble Arch at Hyde-park-corner, through which the cortege passed into the park, taking the road through it over the Serpentine-bridge to the Queen's •gate, and thence to the western entrance to the Exhibition in Prince Albert's -road. The cavalcade consisted of 75 car riages. ' THE REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH. The friends and committees of the two opposing candidates are carrying on a most active canvass, while the candidates themselves are actively engaged in meeting the electors in all parts of the borough. Yesterday placards appeared, signed " J. A. Wilkinson," the former member, stating, in reply to several electors, that he had no objection to be put in nomination, but would pay nothing more than the ex penses required by law. It is expected the contest will be entirely between Messrs. Sleigh and Doulton.

We are happy to announce that the prospects of Galway, in connection with the packet station, are de cidedly brightening. Within the last two or three weeks a number of gentlemen interested in the progress of this enterprise have boldly set about taking the opinion of the country upon our claims, and we are now prepared to say that that opinion is stronger than ever in our favour. Our very able and efficient county member, Mr. Gregory, has had a memorial to the Prime Minister prepared, which has already been signed by more than 60 of the Irish members, praying for the restoration of the subsidy to Galway.— Galway Express. The Cork Examiner supplies a remarkable para graph on emigration from Ireland. It says that the City of Washington, the last sailing ship from Queenstown to New York, " took out a yet larger number of passengers than did the vessels of the preceding weeks. Upwards of 5 0 emigrants left; these belonged, apparently, not to the poorer, but to the more comfortable class of small farmers. Astonishing as it may seem the number emigrating during the past three weeks is greater than during the correspond ing period of last year." The 300-pounder Armstrong gun was yesterday proved at Shoeburynes3 as a smooth bore. The proof con sisted of four rounds—the first with 601 b. of powder, the second with 701 b., the third with 801 b., and the fourth with 901 b. After the proof further experiments were carried on with the same gun, to ascertain the initial velocities ob tained with large charges of different kinds of powder.
