SPORTING NOTES. No. XLVII. SCRAPS CONCERNING CHESTER, WITH A GLANCE AT THE NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEET ING. TO THE EDITOR OF 7'IIE SUN: Sitt,—The Chester Cup settling commenced (I say com menced? because it stands but li t tle chance of being com• pleted for some time to come, if at all) yesterday, both at Cheater and in town ; and in neither instance progressed very smoothly. Several large accounts were left unsettled ut Chester, with the understanding that they were to be squared at " The Corner" on Monday ; and, in town, several defalca tions have already been announced; the la-gest of which is a cigar shop in St. Martin's-lane, to the tune of somewhere between six and eight thousand pounds. Most of the book-makers are losers on the race. Three or four of the winning party, it is well-known, have Er some time past held a very dubious position in the betting world; it is to be hoped, now they have the means, they will honourably discharge their sporting liabilities. The race for the Dee Stakes vestei day dispelled that ex traordinary illusion which the public have adhered to so fondly for eight or nine months past, and which has been kept up, I may say increased, by the favourable notices of my contemporaries, whose pens are devoted to the cause of the Turf; I allude to that wonderful an imal, Lightfoot, who, according to report, has beaten Voltigeur in a trial, and done other marvellous feats. I have all along distinctly stated (the first time being in Note No. 5, on the Derby, Published Jan. 31), in a manner as clear and pointed as rs,v announcement of the other day on the Chester Cup (when 1 promulgated the fact "that 'both Rhesus and Bus.- borough will be beaten I"), that Lightfoot was not "WORTH A THOUGHT !" Yesterday's race verified my prediction. Wbere was he ? Beaten in the first quarter of a mile ; ac tually outpaced by such animals as Knook Knoll, De ceitful, and Sir Rowland Trenchard. Lord Eglinton's Hip polytus won c'everly from the Black Doctor by half a length. The Mountain Deer, who has done little or no work for some days past, and been physicked since he ran for the 2.000 Guineas, was a bad third. The result of the race sent Bonnie Dundee, who had retired to 50 to 1, up to 2 i to 1, and sprang Hippolytus from sixty-sixes to thirties. A meagre three days sport at head quarters, worthy of the INewmarket Spring Meetings of the present year, commences - on Tuesday with a5O sovs. Stakes, destined for Lord Exeter with Nutshell. The Champion Stakes, unless Crotchet should run, is an equal certainty for the Duke of Bedford, with :antiago. The Suffolk Stakes, out of an acceptance of eighteen, of whom eleven are three years old, looks well for Barcelona, Fortuna, or King Charm ing; last named for choice The 10 sovs. Stakes for two years old will fall to the lot of France, without Colonel Peel can bowl Mr. Watson's filly over. The entries for the Row ley Mile Plate, which occasionally sends forth a Derby fa vourite, are not declared until Monday evening. Theseus, I believe, will be found among the number, at least a rumour is afloat to that effect ; how far it may be true, I know not. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 2, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES. CHESTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 12 O'CLOCK. Some books were opened to-night on the Dee Stakes, and Vermuth backed freely at 3 to 1, Hippolytus and Deceitful at 6to 1 each ; 10 to 1 offered against Lightfoot. A doubt about Mountain Deer and the Black Doctor starting pre vented any offers to lay against or back them.

OAKS. 8 to 1 agst Payment. The Cup.—ln the remarks sent from the course we omitted to mention that Rhesus, Duc-an-Durras, Backbiter, and York-you're-wanted, passed the winning-chair so close to gether, that many were in doubt which had the best of it; Rhesus had the merest trifle the best of it, and Duc-an- Darras just beat Backbiter and York-you're-wanted; Russ borough was well up. It is singular that when the handi cap came out the three-year-olds were generally considered to be very badly in, yet they ran first, second, and third. Red eer is the only three-year-old winner of the Cup before this year. A more successful "Cup Day," in every respect, has sel dom been recorded, nor are we aware that a single accident occurred to mar its enjoyment An hour or two atter, how. ever, a frightful collision took place in the Frodsham tun nel of the Manchester and Warrington line, about eleven miles from Chester, by which five or six persons lost their live, and twelve or fourteen were severely injured. The accident was caused by two trains having come to a stand still for want of steam, and the signal not having been given in time to stop the express train. The tunnel being c.,m pletely stopped, the passengers had to return to Chester, and proceed to their destination by Crewe, many of them not getting home before three in the morning; one of the killed was Mrs. Ridgway, of Belmont, near Bolton, a lady of large property. THURSDAY'S RACES. Paying and receiving on the Cup took place, or rather commenced this morning, and, as far as it has gone, is satisfactory ; several heavy accounts, however, have to be sett ed in town on Monday, the majority f the round betters are losers, amongst them Mr. Davis, the extent of whose operations may be guessed when we mention that he laid 20,000/. to 45,1 against the wiliner, in two bets, besides others of large amount. He also stood 50,0001. to 250/. against the Black Doctor winning the Cup and Derby ! It is notorious that a greater portion of the money won goes into the pockets of parties who, for ob vious reasons, have for some time been out of the ring. The card to-day contained seven races, one more than either of the preceding, and in the Dee Stakes possessed a feature of more than ordinary interest. The field, it will be seen, was large, including the names of the Mountain Deer, Vermuth, Hippolytus, and the mysterious Lightfoot, for whom the " public" have for a long period shown a most unaccountable fondness. The result had the instant effect of raising Hip polytus and Bonnie Dundee to 30 to 1 each for the Derby, and at the same time proved beyond a doubt that Lightfoot is one of the greatest impostors ever brought to the post. We have only time to add that the weather was delightful, the attendance large, and the sport excellent. The Cheshire Welter Cup, by subscription of 20 sow. each, Then the with 20 added.

[A per:icn of the follcming appeared in cur Fourth Edition of last night:—] ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The western nave is devoted entirely to the con tributions of Great Britain and her colonies, and it is not a little gratifying to observe the extreme state of forwardness in which the departments of our fellow-countrymen were found. We do not at tempt to enter into the details, but for extent and grandeur it is certainly not too much to say that their quarter entirely bears off the palm from all competition. There is food for a day's observation on almost every counter; and we can assure those alarmists who foresaw disgrace and shame to our countrymen from a competition with our neighbours, that the result must be to impress them with a still greater sense of our intellectual and manufacturing greatness. The display from Canada is remarkably fine, and the contributions from Guern sey and Jersey will not be found the least attractive. The machinery department of itself would require a week's survey ; while, on the other side, we should despair of ever withdrawing an antiquary from the mediaeval department while light served and the pang, of hunger permitted him to continue his survey. As the royal suite entered the Crystal Palace an interesting incident took place, which displays in a most favourable manner the goodness of heart and amiability of her Majesty. Right in the middle of the path, as the Royal pair advanced from their car riage, stood two young children, the grandchildren, we believe, of Mr. Younghusband, who has the con tract for supplying the provisions and refreshments in the building, with bouquets in their hands, as offerings to the royal children on their first entering to the Crystal Palace. Her Majesty graciously signed to the Princess Royal and Prince of Wales to advance and take the bouquets, which they bore in their hands for the remainder of the day. _ _ Before taking her seat on the throne her Majesty turned to the right and left, and cast a glance from one end of the building to the ,other. :A : thrill of pride seemed to dilate her form and fire , htr,eye as she marked the countless throng which had assembled to do her homage and her ear caught the prolonged acclaknations which in almost every tongue swelled through the building. This must indeed have been a proud moment for her—east, west, north, and south, wherever her glance rested it met faces full of loyalty and enthusiasm, voices of blessing swelling up nave and transept, prompted by loving and truthful hearts. A. more convincing proof of the grandeur and great ness of the British nation, of the loyalty and affection which they bear to the person of the Sovereign, and of the security of British institutions could certainly not have been presented to the illustrious foreigners who were, present. A more illustrious crowd, conspicuous for rank, birth, and intellect, certainly never was collected together—statesmen, warriors, senators, poets, artists, men of science, the aristocracy of wealth, all were re presented ; but we were sorry to remark that one final ray of glory was wanting—the Hon. Member for Lino:An was not present—the appearance of Colonel Sibthorp would certainly have given an assurance that even the last lingering ray of prejudice against the Exhibition had been extinguished. A. GENERAL SKETCH OF THE INTERIOR. On entering the Exhibition at an early hour, and before many had arrived, the view from the top of the eastern nave was the most magnificent which the imagination could picture. Being cleared entirely of all the implements used in the construction or decora tion, the different articles for exhibition being place in appropriate situations, and arranged in &vat order and regularity, though the arranikements still bear the appearance of baste l and incompleteness, an uninterrupted view was obtained, and an excellent opportunity afforded of j udgi4 of the effect as a whole. At intervals along the wpole length of this part of the building the eye is attr f acted to gigantic figures in sculpture, to large fountains, and to the splendid draperies and car pets which are suspended in the gallery. the lightness and fairy-like nature of structure, together with the playing fountains, and the presence of a huge tree in Dssom, and a number of palm trees and exotic lent a charm to the enchanting scene. The ate visitors seemed to be content with the spec hus presented to them, and did not trouble dyes with an examination of the many objects of interest and wonder which were to be seen at every step. They confined their attention chiefly to the. opening ceremony, probably intending to de fer until some future occasion their minuter inspection of thetworld's rich store. Indeed, if they had ever in tended to scrutinize minutely all that was worth see ing, the rapid arrival.of the company and the necessity of every one securing a good seat as soon as possible, at oncte convinced them how hopeless such an attempt would be. Some of the principal objects, however, attracted the attention of a great many, among which may be mentioned the great Koh-i-noor diamond, or " the mountain of light," which was securely placed in a large gilt iron cage, on a beautiful crystal fountain, immediately in front of her Majesty's throne, and the carpets and articles of embroidery in its intmediate neighbourhood. Long before eleven the interior appeared completely filled; some had the good sense to take their seats at once, but the majo rity promenaded up and down the different naves until the police intercepted their progress simultaneously at different places, and compelled them to choose seats or positions within certain limited boundaries, notwithstanding they had tickets for more desirable situations. At first many were disposed to grumble at this, but the propriety of it was afterwards made apparent, as it enabled the police to have a clear passage for the procession without cramming too many persons on one spot, or leaving other parts unoccupied. The arrangements of the police, in fact, ware most excellent, and deserve great praise and some acknowledgment. It was gratifying to find that the fair sax bore a very large proportion of the vast assemblage, and whether England may or may not carry off the palm as re gards its share in the Ee:hibition, certain we are that no other country can present such an exhibition of female beaut y as was seen to day. Elegance and richness of dress, and the pleasure, if not joy, WI 3iChl such an occasion naturally produced, heighten ed charms which would at all times command our admiration. Many, no doubt, spent the interval bet ;ween their arrival and the appearance of Royalty in. feasting or gazing on the galaxy of beauty whk h adorned the interior in every direction. At :least we may safely say, that the chief attraction, until the proceedings of the day commenced, were tb: ladies and the cele brated and renowned characto rs who every now and then arrived. The Duke of Wellington, dressed in his uniform of Field-Mae:the:l, appeared in one of the galleries overlooking the tl hrone in company with his daughter-in , law, the Marchioness of Douro. He looked extremely well, and appeared in high spirits at the I;ay scene below him. He afterwards left the gallery and took up a position near the throne emongst a party of other distinguished persons, and was frequently cheered on his progress thither. The other visitors who were observed with great interest, and applauded on being first recognised, were Sir Charles Napier, the late Commander-in -Chief in Int Lis, the veteran warrior the Marquis of Anglesea, Lo r;1 John Russell, and the Prince of Prussia. At twelve o'clock the tr; u inept had a very brilliant appearance, all the officers o f state, who were in their different uniforms, the foi sign and other commis sioners, some of the fore a er being attired in the garb of their native he rd, having arrived and stationed themselves near the throne. There were not so many foreign drefe es to be seen as might have been expected ; but 1;1 As may be attributed to most of the foreign Commits loners assuming what re sembled, as nearly as possiil ,'.e, the ordinary attire of Englishmen. It is imp oe iible to give an adequate idea of th e en th us i asm \ V hi t ?.11 pr e vailed when, after the flourish o f trumpets - was heard, her Majesty en tered, and walked to the throne, and stood bowing majestically to her subjects and the others-who sur rounded her. ANECDO rAL INCIDEN IS. That many a true word is written as well as spoken in jest received a complete verification this morning; Mr. Punch, in the last number of his humorous pub lication, recommends the establishment of a registry for beaux. Now it struck us that in the eastern part of the Crystal Palace there was a very shocking dis proportion between the ladies and the gentlemen. In stead of the ratio being, as Punch represents it, G to 1, this morning it was at least twenty to one, and the result was an unusual amount of confusion and ex citement. Parties of ladies got separated, and while some found themselves hurried up to the gal . _ leries, others were carried away to the extreme north, or lost in the wilderness of space, lying north and south of the transept. Then, again . 1 while the procession was in motion, there were ladies who would insist upon standing on the benches or trespassing beyond the line of demarcation chalked out by the police, and angry controversies arose about bonnets being in the way, or the owners flatly refusing to sit down. Now had each lady been accompanied by a beau, or, say, had there been a beau to every two, much of this confusion and annoyance would have been avoided, for the police were not permitted to escort ladies to their places, and as but few messengers were in attendance, every one had to shift for him or herself. It was really quite distressing to see how recklessly ladies, both young and old, scrambled over the benches, regardless of disturbing the beauty of their costume, upon which they had evidently bestowed much time and taste; but perhaps they felt amply rewarded for all this trouble and inconvenience in securing a capital position for seeing the gorgeous pageant as it moved majestically along, and since their struggles occasionally afforded some amusement to the ruder sex we ought to be the last persons in the world to find fault with them. Still a lady, when alone and unprotected by a beau, feels herself privileged to take more latitude than is abso lutely necessary for her own individual comfort, and it is, therefore, to be hoped that Mr. Punch's hint will not be lost sight of during the period of the Exhibition. We suspect the complaint about the alleged loss referred to elsewhere is not without reason, since each stall was left to take care of itself, and the valuable property which they contain appeared to be quite unguarded. The music could not be heard far beyond the transept, and therefore the prayer and ceremonies performed in the centre must 'bave been mere pantomine to those who were for tunate or unfortunate enough to ebtain seats at either end of the erection, though the higher notes of the organs could be just distinguished as 'the sound floated through the air. The music, however, seemed to flow from a multitude of bagpipes instead of those of an organ, while the impression conveyed to the mind by the cheering, as it travelled from the western to the eastern extremity, was that of the noise which follows the rolling of the tide on to the sea beach. It gushed gradually upon the ear, rising in force step by step until its thun dering climax was attained, and then receding by the same slow measure its echo was at last entirely lost in the distance. The refreshment rooms are on the north side of the eastern end ; they of course commanded a good deal of attention this morning, and mint juleps, and bottled stout was the order of the day, but drinking' was not permitted without eating, and in our hearing a gen tleman was somewhat peremptorily told that " by order of the Commissioners" he could not be allowed to drink a glass of ale without eating a biscuit. The gentleman declined to take his malt upon such terms, but a second waiter came to the rescue, and the difficulty was got over by the follow ing interpretation of the Commissioners' order:—He must pay for the biscuit, but it would not be incum bent upon him to eat it; and with this compromise the dispute ended, and we returned to the leading avenue just is time to witness a chase for a dog who had indiscreetly intruded himself without a ticket. The hunters were a body of the A. division, who ultimately succeeded in capturing the intruder,- whom they ignominiously expelled ; but it was not without con siderable difficulty that the feat was accomplished, for he was a knowing dog, and managed to run in and out of all sorts of intricate places, and thus, like other offenders before him, he eluded the vigilance of the police. Catalogues were in abundance, and found ready purchasers at a shilling each, but the vendors were somewhat a little too independent, as they de clined to give change for even half-a-crown, while as to giving change for a sovereign seemed simply ridiculous in their estimation. But very likely these are mere trifles incident upon a first opening of so stupendous a work, and doubtless when next we visit this glorious palace of glass we shall look for them in vain. We subjoin the official account of the ceremonial: — The Queen kft Buckingham Palace in State, at twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, yesterday, to opon the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Lord William Pander, and his Serene Highness Prince Victor of Hnhenlohe Langenburg, attended by the Mas ter of the Queen's Household, were present at the state opening of the Exhibition Y.esterliV• `-; I The. • fpllowipg is a copy ,of the Commizsioners',re j port 'of #c - progress of the Exhibition, which was read to her Majesty by Prince Albert, as Pretichr.t of the Commission, yesterday during the ceremony of the opening:H " May it faiaase your Majesty,--. e, the Coinvissioner 3 appoin ed by your 'majesty's Royal warrant of the 3d of Ja nuary, 1850, for the promotion of the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, and sub!.equeutly incorpo rated by your Majesty's Royal Charter of the 15th of August in the same year, humbly tie; leave., on the occasion of your Majesty's auspicious visit at the opening of, the Exhibition, to lay before you a brief statement of our' proceedings to the present time. " I.>y virtue of the • authority graciously committed to us by your•blajosty, we have made diligent inquiry into the matters which your Majesty wag pleased to refer to us— namely, into the best mode of. Latroducing the productions of your Majesty's colonies and of foreign countries into this kingdom, the selection of the most suitable site for the Ex hibition, the general conduct of the undertaking, and, the proper method of determining the , nature of the prizes and of securing the most impartial distriihution of them. " In the prosecution of these inquiries, and in the discharge of the duties assigned to us by your Majesty's Royal Chat ter of Incorporation, we have held constant meetings of our whole body, and have, moreover, reterred numerous ques tions connected with a great variety of subjects to com mittees, composed partly of our own members and partly of individuals distinguished, in the several departments of science and the arts, who have cordially responded to our appli cations for their assistance at a great sacrifice of their valuable time. " Among the earliest questions bro ught before us was the important one as to the terms upon which articles offered for exhibition should be admitted into the building. We considered that it was a main chanic teristic of the national undertaking in which we were engaiged that it should depend wholly upon the voluntary contributions of the people of this country for its success; and we therefore decided, without hesitation, that no charge whatever should be made on the admission of such goods. We considered, also, that the office of selecting the articles to be :sent should be intrusted in the first instance to local committees, to be established in every foreign country, and in various districts of your Majesty's dominions; a general power of control being re served to the commission. " We have now the gratification of stating that our anti cipations of support in this course have in all respects been fully realized. Your Majesty's most gracious donation to the funds of the Exhibition was ti to signal for voluntary contributions from all, even the humblest, classes of your subjects, and the funds which have thus been placed at our disposal amount at present to abolut 65,0001. Local com mittees, from which we have unit'. xrmly received the most zealous co-operation, were formed i n all parts of the United Kingdom, in many of your Majestru's colonies, and in the territories of the Hon. East Indic; Company. The most energetic support has also been rec dyed from the Govern ments of nearly all the countries (oif the world, in most of which commissions have been apps tinted for the special pur pose of promoting the objects of a LI Exhibition justly cha racterised in your Majesty's royal rarrant as an Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nal dons. " We have also to acknowledged the great readiness with which persons of all classes have come forward as exhi bitors. And here again it becon to s our duty to return our humble thanks to your Majesty for •the most gracious man ner in which your Majesty 'has co ndescended to associate yourself with your subjects by yot trself contributing some most valuable and interesting artici!ras to the Exhibition. " The number of exhibitors whos e productions it has been found possible to accommodate is about 15,000, of whom nearly one-half are British. The remainder represent the productions of more than 40 foreign countries, comprising almost the whole of the civilised nations of the globe. In arranging the space to be allott etl to each, we have taken into consideration both the nature elf its productions and the facilities of access to this country ai Forded by its geographi cal position. Your Majesty will fit tat the productions of your Majesty's dominions arranged in t lbe western portion of the building, and those of foreign count! ies in the eastern. The Exhibition is divided into the four p Teat classes of-1. Raw Materials; 2. Machinery; 3. Mane ;factures •' and 4. Sculp ture and the Fine Arts. A further • division has been made according to the geographical pcsiti of the countries repre sented; those which lie within the 'warmer latitudes being • placed within the centre of the b uilding, and the colder countries at the extremities. " Your Majesty having been graciously pleased to grant a site in this your royal park for the purpose of the Exhibi tion, the first column of the at n icture now honoured by your Majesty's presence was fixed 4 i the 26th of September last. VI ithin the short period, ate refore, of seven months, owing to the energy of the contra ctors and the active in dustry of the workmen employed b y them, a building has been erected, entirely novel in its ci mstruction, covering a space of more than 18 acres, measuiting 1,851 feet in length and 456 feet in extreme breadth, ca pi ibte of containing 40,000 visitors, and affording a frontage fo r the exhibition cf goods to the extent of more than ten milt !s. For the original sug gestion of the principle of this sin beture the Commissioners are indebted to Mr. Joseph Paxton, lo whom they feel their acknowledgments to be justly due for this interesting feature of their undertaking. " With regard to the distributio a. of rewards to deserving exhibitors, we have decided that Lb ey should be given in the form of medals, not with reference to merely individual com petition, but as rewards for excr :Hence in whatever shape it may present itself. The s-lectic al of the persons to be so rewarded has been intrusted to juries equally composed of British subjects and of foreigners, the former having been selected by the Commission fro) n the recommendations made by the local committees, at Id the latter by the Go vernments of the foreign nations i t:he productions of which are exhibited. The names of th erre jurors, comprising as they do many of European eel le brity, afford the best guarantee of the impartiality with which the rewards will be assigned. " It affords much gratification V fat, notwithstanding the magnitude of this undertaking, and. the great distances front which many of the articles now c exhibited have had to be collected, the day on which your 11 ajesty has been graciously pleased to be present at the inaugu ration of the Exhibition is the same day that was originally • named for its opening, thus affording a proof of what may under God's blessing, be accomplished by goodwill and co rdial co-operation among nations, aided by the means that n todern science has placed at our command. "Having thus briefly laid before your Majesty the results of our labours, it now only remains for us to convey to your Majesty our dutiful and loyal acknowledgments of the sup port and encouragement which we have aerived throughout this extensive and laborious task .from the gracious favour and countenance of your Majesty. It is our heartfelt prayer that this undertaking, which has far its end the promotion of all branches of human industry, an d the strengthening of the bonds of peace and friendship amor tg all nations of the earth, -may, by the blessing of Divine Pi. ovidence conduce to the welfare of your Majesty's people, :and be ;tang remembered among the brightest circumstances of your Majesty's peace ful and happy reign.!' Ms Royal highness banded. .to her Majesty a copy of the reports accompanied by er catalogue of the articles exhibited. Her Majestyreturned the folloming gracious answer:— " I receive with the greatest satit3faction the address which .you bar? presented to me on the opening of this Exhibition. " I have observed with a warm said increasing interest the progress of your proceeding in the tmecution of the duties in trusted to you by the Royal Commission, and it affords me sincere gratification to witness the successful result of your judiciots and unremitting exertions in the splendid spectacle by which I am this day surrounded., " I cordially concur with you in the prayer, that by God's blessing this undertaking may conduce to the welfate of my people and to the common interest .af the human race, by en couraging the arts of peace and industry, strengthening the bonds of union among the nations; of the earth, and pro moting a friendly and honourable rivalry in the useful exercise of those 'faculties which have been conferrei by a beneficent Providence for the good and the happiness of mankind.* At a few minutes after one o'clock her Majesty left the Exhibition, and returned to Buckingham Palace. Shortly after the departure of her Majesty the inspiriting air of " See the Conquering Hero comes," told that his Grace the Duke of Wellinston was about to leave the Palace. In a few minutes he was seen stepping into his modest carriage. A long and hearty cheer was given to the iron Duke. At ten minutes to one o'clock the distant booming of can non was heard at the top of Constitution-hill, and the firing of a royal salute gave intimation of her Majesty's departure from the Crystal Palace; and at a little after one o'clock the cavalcade proceeded at a rapid pace down Constitution-hill to the Palace, where it arrived at a quarter past one o'clock. The crowd had by this time to a certain extent dispersed in various directions, leaving however an immense multitude before the-Palace. The various carriages had set down in the interior quadrangle, and the empty vehicles drove out from the Palace. The last had scarcely cleared the gate when the windows in the centre of the front quadrangle, on the first floor, over the beautiful bronzed gate, were thrown open, and, to the delight and surprise of her Majesty's loyal subjects there assembled, her Majesty, leaning on the arm of his. Royal Highness Prince Albert, came to the very front of the stone balcony, followed and attended by his Iloy,al Highness the Prince ot Wales, her Royal High ness the Princess Royal, her Royal Highness tha Princess Alice, his Royal Highr,ess the Prince of Prussia, and the Duchess of Sutherland. Her Majesty's appearance was hailed with cheers that rent the air. On no occasion do we remember to have heard such long-continued, unanimous, and spontaneous bursts of applause as those which greeted her Majesty, who graciously evinced her appreciation of the welcome given her by a loyal and loving people. Her Ma je.ty having withdrawn, the " hosts" separated in various directions, and the most perfect order and quiet were main tained. And thus ended the proceedings of this eventful day. REPORTED ACCIDENTS. —During the whole of the after noon reports were freely and generally circulated throughout the metropolis that, P hortly before the Queen's arrival at the Crystal Palace, a foreigner attempted to effect an admission into the Exhibition-building without the necessary authority of a season ticket, and that his entrance was of course pre vented by the police, whereupon an altercation had arisen, when one of the policemen struck the intruder with his baton; which exasperated the foreigner so much that he in stantaneously drew from his pocket a sharp-pointed instru ment and stabbed the policeman in the breast, upon which he immediately dropped dead upon the ground. Another report was that cue of the police,force bad been shot with a pistol, though not mortally ; and that several o thers had been severely maltreated by the mob. As no authentic accounts of these reported trans'adtions had reached our office; we personally made inquries upon the subject at the head police office in Scotland-yard, and we are glad to be enabled to state that Mr. Inspector Ilemacks informed us that he had been in active communication with all the superintendents on duty in the neighbourhood of the Crystal Palace during the whole of the day, and that, up to the mo ment of our inquiry (eight o'clock), no i nformation had reached him of any untoward circumstance having occurred of any description whatever, and that consequent y_ the above -named re ports must have been without the least foun dation. ILLuatesanox AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. —The front of her Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket was last night most brilliantly illuminated, in houour of the opening of the Great Exhibition. It co nsisted of a large imperial crown, with the jewels, &c., most beautifully sled r in , coloured lamps. Beneath this w ere the R oyal ~ in fine white lamps, each le tter being encircled by wreaths of laurel, in green la m p s, and richly begemmed with ruby coloured fruit, the whole design being terminated by a true lover's knot in blue lamps. The Royal standard also floated tr. the top of the building. On Saturday. April 19, one of the greatest actors of his time quitted this mortal stage of life—alas, poor Dow ton is no more! —aged 88 years. He died at his res id ence at B r ixton-bill, and ga ve u p life's latest sigh without a struggle. STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.—A calf was yester day shown in London, brought from De. - onshire, which had seven legs, three of - . them fora, legs ao four hind legs. One of the fore legs has two feet. lt has also two tails springing from the.back of thq etrapge creature, which 'only lived two days. .• • SPIRLT orthe PUBLIC JOURNALS. • —FROM 71IE ZIORNING, PAPERS OF TEIIS DAY. TIMES. —There was yesterday v;itueeeed e eight the a like of which has never hatipeeted before, and which, in the-na ture of things, cell never be repeatien They who were so fbrtuntne .as t e e se a ja hardly knew what most to admire, or in what form to clothe the vow of wonder, and even of myetery, willed - streggled within , them. The edifice, . the trease:•es of nahe.teand art eolleeted therein, the assemblage, and the so!enenity of the occasion, all conspired to suggest something even iaere than Sense cohlel scan or in - vigil:all:ha attain. There were many there Who were faMiliar with magnificent spectacles; who had seen coronations. face and solemnities; hut they had not seen anything to compare with this. In a buning that could easily hiire acconnuo dated twice as many, twenty-five thousand persons, so it is eorrineted, were arranged in order round the throne of Our Sovereign. Around them, amidst them, and over their heads was displayed all that is useful or beautiful in nature or in art. Above them rose a glittering arch far more lofty and spacious than the vaults of even our noblest cathedrals. On either side the vista seemed almost boundless. Under it was - enthroned a youthful matron, the Queen of this land, surrounded by her family, her Court, her Mthistere ; by the represehtatiVes , of other. countries, and by all who bad any there. in the suggestion or management of thin great undertaking. The minister of religion was there to ask a blessing on the work; the song of loyalty and the anthem of praise rose from the whole assemblage. This is but the bare enumeration of particulars, which to those who were present made one vast whole. It was felt to be more than what was seen, or what had been intended. Som e saw in it the se con d and more glorious inauguration of their Sovereign; some a solemn dedication of art and its stores; some were .most reminded of that day when all ages and climes shall be gathered round the throne of their Maker; there was so much that seemed accidental and yet had a meaning, that no one could be content with simply what he saw. A taste of no common order had contributed to the illusion, not to say the reality of the scene. The fresh foliage age of two lofty elms dwarfed by the height of the dome, the numerous tropical plants that served to tell the extended reign of the Sovereign whose throne they adorned ; splendid fountains, and the brightness of the decoration, all contributed to an effect so grand and yet so natural, that it hardly seemed to be put together by design, or to be the work of hu man artificers. Such has been the ceremony of the Ist of May, the subject of such long anticipations and so many ap prehensions. Fortune has at length . favoured the coura geous and persevering little band who originated and resolved, to carry-through this undertaking: If in the result we see even more than they were conscious of - designing, and if we sometimes suspeet that they looked too exclusively or too much to the mere advancement of' art, we cannot, on the other 'hand, be blind to the great industry and judgment, they' have displayed. We say it advisedly—we believe that the Royal Commissioners of the Great Exhibition have had more than the usual proportion of difficulties to contend with; So vast a building was not to be built and adapted . for the purpote ; so many exhibitors were not to be invited and provided for; so many objects were not to be accepted and i arranged; so . many smaller affairs were not to be dispetched,- without an amount of hard work and harass which it is fearful to think upon. Good temper and honeisty, diligence and method, have overcome them all. It is ,true that some. of our principal exhi bitors and nearest neighbours . have found themselves sorely belated. The Ist of' lei ay has surprised not a few who refused to give the Englishman • credit for his pro verbial punctuality. The grand avenue of the nave, indeed, is even more thin sufficiently stocked and decorated. Nothing is wanting anywhere to the general view ; but when we leave the broad walk, with its endless succession of mag nificent trophies, and pass under the galleries into the nume rous by-paths of Exhibition, we find ourselves sometimes in vacant areas, surrounded by unfinished case, unopened boxes, and preparations which h will apparently take weeks to conclude. But what of that? It may be unfortunate for the country that does not come in for the high tide of inte rest and the freshness of curiosity; but, even with these de ductiOns, there is already far more than it is possible for any ordinary man to master within a moderate time. It has been estimated that thirty visits will hardly be sufficient for those who wish to " get up " the whale Exhibition, and make the best profit of this rare opportunity. To visitors of this serious class it can matter Very *little whether the subjects of their thirtieth day's study are already open to the view, or are hid den in Packing- . caees. The partial backwardness of the exhibitors, then, is as little to the injury of the result as it is to the disparagement of the Comniissionere, who have done their own part in good time. Their success to the last in minor arrangements is evident from the fact that 25,000 ladies and gentlemen yesterday aeeieted, with comfort, at a grand ceremonial, that a multitude of several hundred thousand persons surrounded the building without any disorder, that a string of carriages, reaching from Char ing -cross to Kensington, set down their occupants easily and quietly, and that, in a word, hardly a blow was struck or a temper ruffled during the whole day. Such a result reflects credit on the character of the country, and proves the deep fund of good nature and self-government in the mass of the people. It is not to be expected that all will equally enter into the sentiment which seems to us proper to such a spec tacle. There arc those who will see nothing bat glass and iron in the building, men and women in the myriads that visit it, and cotton or silk in the fabrics exhibited. We expect to hear it called an overgrown bazaar, or a vast advertising machine. 'We will appeal, then, to sense as well as romance. On the very lowest view of this Exhibition it is an opportunity of learning the products of different regions, and the manufactures of different peoples, that we could not have hoped to enjoy, and which will not soon be repeated. Everybody who has to do with teaching —nay, everybody who wishes tbr information himself, knows the comparative unprotitableness of mere reading or hearing. The ear is slow to receive and quick to lose information. The eye apprehends quickly, and retains a long hold. Then here, at all events, if we have nothing else, we have a vast collection of specimens, with manuals arranging and describ ing them. All nature and art are brought under our survey, and an area of twenty acres is made, as it were, an epitome of the whole world. As a mere lesson in industrial and so cial geography, the opportunity is invaluable. We do not see why every child whom its parents can bring up to town should not take lessons at the Exhibition. But in this branch of knowledge it is not uncommon to find grown up people as ill-informed as their own children. All ages, therefore, will find it to their advantage to go to school for the season in Hyde-park. CHRONICLE.—Many words never accompany deep im pressions. He who, whether in actual life, or in its more truthful dramatic representations, is stirred to the inmost core of feeling, cannot afford to talk ; and it is only after a great whole, either of action or emotion, has had time to settle down—at the loss, perhaps, of somewhat of its picturesque, bower vague, entirety—that we can coldly count up what has combined to produce its influence. It were better, then, for ourselves if we were not called upon so immediately to satisfy the very reasonable inquiries of others as to the suc cess of the opening of the Great Exhibition yesterday. For ourselves personally. it were safer merely to speak of that success as complete and unbroken, and then to withdraw to its deep and pleasant memories with something of that joy with which, as we are told, a stranger intermeddleth not. Because merely to allude to.the more obvious and prominent elements in the triumph of yesterday's pageant - would be compiratively easy easy, since its true grandeur lies in., what scarcely Anetts • the eye or_ ear. It asks not much to dilate upon the unequalled • beauty of the weather—so curiously falling in with the popular feeling about the " Queen's own fine-weather days"—upon the loyal crowds, and upon the stately throng of those noble by station and yet nobler by acquirements or gifts—or upon the scenic beauty of the ceremonial. The success of either of these singly would present matter for pleasure—their combination furnishes a more extended gratification. We may say more. The building itself displayed internal effects yesterday of which we had scarcely thought it susceptible. The hard lines and shrunken masses which a metallic con struction involved, were hitherto but ineffectually relieved by the pale and faded colouring which has been adopted ; the ashy tones and consumptive lineaments of the structure wanted mass and relief. These were at the opening nobly supplied. The intense scarlet of hangings and uniforms,the rich crimson of carpets and tapestry, the bright floral par terre-like effects of the ten thousand pinks and blues of feminine attire, the sparkling fountains, the masses of exotic flowers, the golden sunbeams flashing at once on the delicate spring-tints of our English elms and the heavier greens of tropical palms—these, with the sparkling of glass, and the more solid polish of metal, ade quately redeemed, by their breadth and harmony, the more prominent defects of the not unworthily called "Crystal Palace." To this luxury of colours, which our insular eves are beginning to understand, yesterday's ceremonial added the pleasure addressed to the ear. While organ, and choir, and trumpet announced the Queen's entrance with a rich and full " God save the Queen," the triumph of the day was the " Hallelujah Chorut." Never did this noble strain fall at once upon so many auditors, and—judging from many a moistening eye and kindling cheek —never, we believe, upon so many hearts. And amongst much that was otherwise touching and creditable to the national taste and feeling— besides the reiterated plaudits which saluted England's great Duke—besides the bursts of personal salutation which wel comed her Majesty's progress, beyond even pealing organ and swelling anthem—more touching and more spontancons was the honest domestic delight which hailed the Q ueen anti her husband as they joined the procession, holding by the hand, the Royal mother a Prince of Wales, and her Con sort the Princess Royal. In herself and in her family the Queen must' have felt the best security of her Throne ; and never has • this security been more amply displayed than in the loyal :peraonal congratu lation which was yesterday offered by the British public. as well as by the Royal Court, to her Majesty'a presence. The artistic effect of the general grouping presented at the de livery of the addresses was striking. Tabard and helm, halberd arid plume, feathers and diamonds, scarlet and gold, cannot well fail; but it was the mass, and Kale, and pon derous dignity of the whole, which told. Spenser —vales in either sense—seems to have actually drawn the more strik ng feature : "The roam was large and wide, As it some guild or.suleain temple were; m an y great o f iron pillarsofn'ana richesdi gdhuupbe e ar Th e massy r.sustain ; ~ a a * a And every pillar decked was full dear. * A rout of people there aa;embled were Of every soil and nation under sky, Which with great uproar - prersed to draw near To th' upper part, where was advanced high A etately siege of sovereign majesty ; And thereon sat a woman gorgeous gay, And richly clad in robes of royalty." We can well afford to leave the material aspect of the cere monial in this, its vivid End .accurate anticipation; but its moral significance requires a few words. The semi-senti mental ' historian of the day vaticinates the time when a civilized New Zealander is to survey the ruins of St. Paul's from a shattered arch of Loneldn• bridge. lie it so. Nations have their appointed course; and the truest triumphs of empire are other than physical. It is right, morally right, that she on whose flag and shores the sun never sets should —once at least before heraperhaps, inevitable fall—translate this splendid metaphor into the prosaic language of fact, that her sons may know what ample duties are entrusted to them, together with this perilous pre-eminence of sway.

The unsubstantial character of the builtliog in which we and our guests wore assembled conveys its own unmistake able lesson. It must soon perish—so must its gay and gor geous contents ; but the great powers of thought and intelli gence which produced these will far outlive the frail glass and iron which enshrines them ; and if England shall follow the course of her engines and her implements, the 'memory of her great and happy attempt to comtntinicate to' all the blessings of an intercommunion of progress and intelligetwe will at least be undying. It will ever be estimated as at least a goodly object which arrayed together so vast sad comprehensive a series of facts; the gathering of the day will be at least a help to many a problem. ethnological, so cial, and industrial ; nor will it be without its purpose to group together the existence of parallel, but varying,, types of skill and thought, and to assemble under one roof the living embodiments of medheval traditions, and the practical economy of those railroads and those mighty cylinders of the press which are fast o4literating the narrow prejudices of race, and of a sordid and exclusive spirit of nationality. Neither are we prepared to allow the sup+ posed anti-religious character of the Exhibition. In these FoluMns we shall scarcely be suspected of accepting it as an instalment of so me un i versa l b rot h er h oo d of creeds. We are got asked to view it as an indication of any " Chards of the Yuture."

At the conclusi-n of La 'hula di Porliei last evening, a piece de circonstavec of a most graceful and novel character was produced, in honour of the Great Exhibition. Although styled a divertissement it partook more of the character of the " masques" with which our ancient aristocracy were wont to be amused, combining as it does the attractions of music, poetry, painting, and glancing. The curtain rose and discovered a beautifully painted isometric view of the Cr 3 stal Palace, in ft - wit of which was the whole corps lyric and Terpsichorean of the theatre, each attired in some different national costume, thus giving an animated representation of the assemblage of all nations in Hyde-park. I'he divertissment (the whole of the music of which is by Mr. Balfe) commences with the following chorus, the words of which are by Barry Cornwall:— " All hail ! Give welcome to this happy day ! War throws his sword and spear and helmet down; And, wreathed with hawthorn, laughs the Lady May, And Peace smiles glad beneath her olive crown. Welcome to Britain's land ! Welcome with heart and hand ! Welcome to all!" The music of this chorus is massive and fine, and was given most magnificently. There are responsive choruses heard behind the scenes, and an organ accompaniment greatly heightens the effect. The Natienal Anthem followed, the solo verses being sung by Madlle. Caroline Duprez, Madame Fiorentiai, and the Lablaches (pere et fits). The corps de ballet then advanced, as the vocal corps retired to the back of the stage, where they sang the following chorus as introductory to the dancing : " When the merry bells ring round, And the jocund rebecks sound, To many a youth and many a maid Dancing in the checker'd shade." The music of this chorus is charmingly light, airy, and graceful, it almost " goes of itself," and will rival in poptatt.• rity the moat popular of Balfe's former compositions. The divertissement consists of a selection from the national dances of all nations, and was sustained by the whole strengai of the Terpsichorean corps, including Amelia Ferraris and Citik lotta Grisi. The performance bad been merely-announced as a divertissement, and came upon the pebrto quite 89.11 cur. prise. Its production is one of 'the most graceful compli ments that could have been paid to her Majesty and Prince Albert. The house was crowded to suffocation, and every one preset was delighted. ' BATTY'S HIPPODROME. • This huge edifice at Kensington, erected upon the ma del of the Hippodrome of Paris, and capable of holding several thousands of spectators, opened yesterday after noon, and with all the Mat which the speculator could wish for. The day was fine—a fact of no little import ance, seeing that the performances take place in the open air, the seats occupied by the public being the only per* tion of the building that is under shelter.
