On - this day things took a desperate turn, a n d Me. Bonnett, who had fixed 20 of his standard thermometers' at dif ferent points of the building, above and below, found a sudden rise in the mean temperature of the day, amount, ing to 10 deg.; the 18th :showing 64:8 deg., slid the 19th,. 74.8 deg: This was a shilling-day, with 63,863 visitors. If this weather coatinued, .3j was clear something must be done, and. '-fituling ,matters grow worse till.the 261, when the thermometer road ' to 2 deg. ' above summer heat— ! -7iz , 78.6_ (20 deg_ " Iteaurnur," 10 deg. being " temperate"), the.ciinhax was reached. Oa this day the, mean was the highest that has been felt during the Exhibition. At four . r tr. the thermoreeter. No. 5, placed on the north-east corner of- the gallery, among the was flowers, rcgis tered 97 deg. Theqotiblic could not -stand this, even to witness the grandest sight that man could produce. " The force Of nature could no further go," ter the hair was not only hot, but vitiated. \Vornen fainted right out, nod men declared the beat intolerable. Mr. Bennett recorded the exact state of the case, end after serious consultation, the glass ends of the building at the entrance were removed on the 2d of July, upon which down came the thermometer from 79.4 deg. to 66.6 deg. Since this alteration 73.4 has been the maximum, with one solitary exception. Still a difficulty of breathing was found in the upper regions. The rarified air caused by the exhalations of the mob below rushed up through the galleries, where the heat averaged 4 degrees above that of the main avenue,. and frequently higher still during the crowded hours of the .day.. Even the policemen began to suffer in health, and the Sappers on duty above fzlt the arnisos. pheric tax on their lungs. Accordingly on. Monday, July 7, glazed arches in various parts of the galleriea were removed. After this the temperature in the galleries and the ground floor became more uniform, and were found to be under the control of the autho ritieS. Fifty thousand pairs of lungs enjoyed daily the constant current of fresh air. This kept the multitude bc•low the grumbling point - till the 19th ;Tilly, when • Saturday with its ss. admission brought a thin attend ance (9,320). The first sudden transition from heat to cold was instantly felt thr ,- ,ughout the building. • Down went F.l.hrenheit to 59 cleg t: au#hora , ; tforas-••• ;;-•••,-; called for_measure s i n an opPe.sife7frireitionr,eicrite,"; cordingly up went the louvres and ventilators.titl the temperature was again adjusted.. Thus man has made nature to a great extent obe dient to his will in the very diffict& N matter of venti lation in an 'unwieldy building 1,850 feet lung. And thus, by the strict observance of the indications of a vary sensitive and delicate instrument, hitherto much undiavahrd, an amount of comfort has been preserved under trying end extraordinary circumstances. 41V ENGLISFI WELCOME UNDER CUS• TOM-110USE AUSPIC'ES. (From the liolner Zeitung We steamed it from Ostend to London direct in the Panther, and had a capital passage,— _A" 4 P.M. the boat touched at S. Custom-house., There near tx e about '2OO travellers K w w hbrf, on board, all ?t them in the best temper and spirits, and elated with the novelty-- and grandeur cf the scene before them. None of them had the least apprehension of the terrible damper. which was in store for our enthusiasm. When the steamer was moored, and a communication with the quay est a b. blished, the passengers were directed to proceed to a house in the vicinity where their luggage would be examined. We moved forward, but it was a bad omen that the first welcome on British soil came from a drove of pigs which disported themselves' on the quay. Oa reaching the house—a storehouse— we all believed we must be mistaken in the locality, for .the piece was chock full of bales, casks, and ponderous packing cases. It seemed impossible to get through or over these obstructions. We were, however, com pelled to climb for ir, and thus, clambering over bales and cask, and picking our way among drays and horse s , we reac h e d at l eng th th e f oo t o f a n a rr ow . staircase, which we ascended, and entered the wait log-room. Judge of our astonishment and indigna tion, when this waiting-room turned out to be a loft, full cf filth, straw, and rcranants of sackcloth, but ut terly devoid of chairs, tables, and other means of ac co:nmodation. Our astonishment, however, rose to the height of despair when we understood that we were expected to remain from three to four hours is thie terrialle place. There were at least 30 ladies among us, who suf fered dreadfully, for the place was. as hot; and close as the Black Hole at Calcutta. It took the Custom house officers exactly two hours to remove our luggage from the steamer to the searchiug-room. At the end of that time (it seemed an eternity to us panting and half-stifled wretches), they opened a small gate, and admitted about ten persons to the searching room. Of these every man or woman bad to lock for and drag out his or her luggage from the enor mous pile of boxes and portmanteaus on the floor. The boxes had then to be opened and submit ted to the searchers. When the first batch were dispatched another batch of ten were draughted in, just as they could manage to scramble in, without order or method, and in this manner the business proceeded uatil eight lex., when the last passengers were finally released. These imperfect arrangements in themselves appear as a slight and insult to the Con tinent, but what is still more revolting is the brutality which the strangers must put up with in the treat. ment he receives at the hands of the searchers. John Bull is rather ticklish abroad, and in foreign Custom houses be insists on being . treated as a " gentle man." What would Englishmen say if the Cologne Custom-house authorities insulted, pushed, and tor mented them in the manner in which the foreign tourist is insulted, pushed, and tormented by the English officials. Nor is this all. When the traveller has opened his box he is asked whether he has any articles liable to duty, and especially whether he has any cigars. If he says " Nb," his box is at once assailed, everything is pulled out and turned topsy turvy. In the course of this proceeding, the con scientious searcher takes pains to make the victim understand that a small present would go far to expe dite the examination. In this way I saw that two friends who accompanied me almost escaped the exa mination of their luggage by presents of two six pences and four cigars. But the crowning feature of these disgraceful proceedings is the stamping of the various boxes end packages, which most be paid for at the rate of 61. a stamp. Several Frenchmen of bur party, refused to submit to this extortion, and pretended that they had not poked either for the exa mination or the stamping of their effects. But the Custom• house officers cut all discussion short by seizing their luggage and locking it up until the Frenchmen, in ,great wrath, and (I f e a r ) w i t h many strong expressions of disgust, consented to pay. After we were fleeced of another GI per package under the pretence of "porterage," we were at length permitted to leave, and to intrust ourselves to the tender mercies of the cabman. THE CARD CHEATINCr CitiE AT BRIGHTON. In consequence of notice having been served upon the solicitor for the prosecution in this case, that certain partn:s would appear yesterday before the natsgir.ratos at the Town-hall, Brighton, to justify as bail on the part of the prisoner Staden, Mr. Sill was in attendance at the time named, one o'clock. Half an-hour having elapsed and neither the prisoner's solicitor (Mr. Davies) nor the proposed bail having made their appearance, the chair. man (J. Bonner, Etei.) said that the magistrates would not wait any longer. If it had nut been intended to pro duce the bail, it would have been more respectful to have given notice of that intention to the magistrates, or to the solicitor for the prosecution. Mr. Sill trusted that some means would be devised to put an end to ench im proper and vexatious proceedi2gs; and he was prepared, on the part of the prosecutor, with the con currence of the Bench, to submit a statement of the facts to her Majesty's Attorney-General, in order that the opinion of that learned functionary might be obtained for the guidance of the magistrates upon the question whether the consent to admit bail should not be revoked, or that, in the event of any future application being made, terms should not be imposed upo:i the prisoner before such application was entertained.

CuErsTow, FR IIiAT nViiINC4`--TO day the long. promised connecting link of _the Siuth Wales and Gloucester arid Dean Forest Railways, between Glou cester and Chepstow, has been formally opened with the customary rejoicing and celebration. The pro ceedings of the day to commemorate the event con sisted of public demonstrations at Gloucester—the dispatch of a special train, with the directors of the South Wales, Great Western, and Gloucester and Dean Forest Railways, from Gloucester to Chepstow —a dinner at Chepstow—and the return of the special train to Gloucester at night. The importance of the ' completion of this piece of railway between Gloucester and Chepstow cannot be over-estimated, as by this connecting link thechain of railway communication is. perfected from the far north and east to what may be pronounced the capital of the principality, the town and seaport of Swansea. Not the least important feature in the event is the opening of a direct over land route from Swansea to Liverpool; and as the electric telegraph is to be laid down along the South Wales line, when completed in its entirety, an instantaneous communication will then be established betiveen these two im portant and far distant ports. :At present the telegraph is brought down from Liierpool as love as Gloucester, which latter city is distant from Swansea a hundred miles. Another important consummation is the establishment of a direct railway communica tion from South Wales to the metropolis, thus open ing the mineral markets of South Wales to London, _and bringing theui into competition with those of the north. It is Mated that the ,GreaesWestern Company, who now hold and work the South Waffs line, in connexion with their own, intend carrying coals along the whole of their territory, at the rate of a half penny per ton per mile; and besides this article, it is anticipated that a great portion of the copper and iron traffic will pass along the railway. But besides the Great Western line, the South Wales line is now, by the junction at Gloucester, brought into connection with the Midland, Bristol end 13irmingham, and Northern Railways, and the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester, the Shrewsbury and Hereford, and the Oxford, 'Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railways, now in course of construe inn Up to this period a great deal of the South Wales traffic going north and eastward was diverted at Chepstow to Bristol, coaches running between Chep stow and Bristol, as well as between Chepstow and Gloucester, to meet the trains. The London mail also passed through Bristol ; but in the winter sea son these were often delayed by the difficulties and dangers of the passage over the Severn at the junc tion of that river with the Wye, near Chepstow. As soon as the present contract shall have expired, the mails will be dispatched along the railway by Glou. tester throughout. Unfortunately, however, the communication between Gloucester and Chepstow is still not sufficiently ' complete (notwithstanding the formal opening of to-day) to permit of the merchan dize or goods traffic passing along it, in consequence of the bridge over the Wye, at Chepstow, being as yet barely half finished. This portion of the work has been all along the great stumb ling block to the earlier completion of the line. The railway bridge will cross the river Wye at a point about a hundred yards below the turnpike-road bridge, and at a great elevation above the level of the water, so that vessels may sail beneath it. The bridge is being constructed upon iron piers or cylinders, which, on being sunk, are filled up; and the great difficulty has arisen from the uncer tainty of the foundation of the piers. As there is no probability of this work being completed in less than six months, the directors of the South Wales Rail way Company decided upon opening the line up to a point about a mile distant from the east bank of the river, and conveying the passengers from that point to the Chepstow station, on the west bank of the river, by means of omnibuses. This causes a delay of perhaps twenty minutes • but the saving of time by the opening of the line so far amounts, nevertheless, to two hours and a half, and the journey from Pad dington to Swansea by railway can now be done by express train in six hours forty minutes, distance about 210 miles. Four trains a day will run through out from Swansea vies Gloucester to London, to and fro, and two on Sundays, each way. The fares are low, and the traffic on that portion of the line between Chepstow and Swansea, which has now been opened just sixteen months, is steadily increasing. The best portion of the traffic, however, and to obtain which the line was originally projected—viz, the mineral traffic—cannot be developed until the bridge over the Wye is completed. The excursion from Gloucester to Chepstow is through a beautiful and fertile country. The first station is at Okle-street, about five miles from Glou cester, and the second at Newnham, six miles further. Here the inhabitants mustered in large numbers, and had prepared a luncheon for the visitors. Flags, banners, music, and cheers, also welcomed the arrival of the special train. At Sydney, the third station, there were similar rejoicings; the train at East Chepstow, and on the arrival of carriages were in waiting to convey the visitors to the town of Chepstow itself, where the party arrived at one o'clock, and proceeded forthwith in parties to inspect the ruins of Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abbey, and to view the magnifi cent landscape from the Wyndcliffe. A large number of ladies were of the party. The proceedings of the day were wound up at Chepstow by a dinner to the directors at the Beaufort Arms Hotel, where covers were laid for 150. Mr. Talbot, M.P. (chairman of the South Wales Com pany), was to take the chair. The party had not sat down, however, when our reporter was obliged to leave to avail himself of the last train to London.

It appears that a passenger train, drawn by two engines, left Shef field for Doncaster about seven leer. On arriving near Alexbro', where the railway forms a junction with the Barnsley branch, danger signals were ex- hibited by the signal man, and also by the semaphore, but owing to the sharp curve which the line there describes, it is not visible at a great dis tance. As soon, however, as the engine-driver no ticed the signals, he immediately slackened his speed, and proceeded more cautiously. Oa arriving at the point of junction, a Great Northern train from Bernsley was crossing On to the line at the same mo ment. The engine had passed the point when the Shsfileld train came up and struck the break:van. The v an was thrown off the lin e , as also tone of the en gines. Toe rails were torn up in the v i c i n ity o f th e spot, and the greatest constern a ti on prevailed amongst the passengers of both trains, none of whom, how ever, met with any serious injury. The collision occasioned a complete stoppage of the line, and nearly two hours elapsed before the rails were cleared, so as to enable the trains to proceed to their destination. Another accident occurred the same day to the train which is due at Barnsley from Doncaster, at eight, r er. It appears that after some passengers had l e ft the train at Stairfoot Station, which is two miles I from Barnsley, on starting, three of the last carriages became detached from the other, and from the line being at that place on a decline, they ran back, to the great alarm of the screaming and terrified passen gers, some of whom were aware that another train was following them. Many parties were inj sired by jumping from the carriages, some of whom had sprained ancles, others bruised heada and _faces, occasioned by the falls they had received. , ole person, named William Broadhead, who lives in New-street, Barnsley, was so much injured by falling upon . his head that he was for a long time insensible. The three carriages were stopped by a rise in the line, between Wombwell and Wath ; they were immediately followed by the engine and other part of the train, and had got all right again when the train that was following them came up. They arrived in Barnsley about ten o'clock. The carriages became detached by the breaking of one of the coupling chains. Fortunately none of the pas sengers were seriously injured. CAUSES OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—From an official return it appears that 56 per cent. of all the railway accidents arises from collision ; next to this comes escape from the rails by the breaking of a wheel or axle, and by defective rails, which make up 32 per cent., the other cases making up but a small propor tion. In every 100 accidents the following is the proportion of the causes which produce them : Accidents from Collision - 56 It Broken wheel or axle... 18 Defective rail .. 14 1) Switches $) Impediments lying on the road 3 Off rails by cattle on line 3 1) Bursting - boiler SOUTH-EASTERN AND CONTINENTAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. - The half-yearly generirniesiting of the shareholders was held at the Bridge-house ; Hotel, London•bridge, yesterday; Mr. James Macgregor (chairman of the company) in the chair. There was a very small attenclince of proprietors. After the usual formalities, Mr. HERBEUT Ohs secretary) read the report of the directors, which was as follows : " The accounts of the South-Eastern and Conti nental Steam- packet Company, now submitted to the proprietor., exhibit gross earnings for the half-yer.r ending 31st July, 1851, of 23,270/. 45., against 16,113/. 15s. 2d. in 1850. The working expensep, repairs, and port charges have been 12,483/. lOs., against 9,518/. 2s. 3d., leaving a balance of 10,7851. 145., against 6,595/. 123. 11d. at credit of profit and loss account. The number of passengers conveyed during the above period, compared with the corre sponding months of 1850, are as follows : Foißestoue Boulogne Total. to Boulogne. to Folk3stone. 1850 1851 Increase... 2 515 Dover to Calais. Calais to Dover. ' Total. 1850 1851 Increase... 6,633 Showing a total increase of 18,515 passengers during the last half-year. The merchandise traffic has pro duced 1,1611. 4s. dd. in 1851, against 8091. 12s. 3d. in 1850, au increase of 3511. 12s. 31, which is satis factory. On the Ist of May a special daily service was commenced between London and Paris by tidal trains, working in correspondence with the company's steam-ships. The public convenience was so much promoted by this service, and it met with such general approbation, that on the Ist August the service was extended to a departure every tide from Folkestone and Dover, and Boulogne and Calais. The service of the company during the last six months has been per formed without a single interruption, and 26,937 miles have been navigated with safety. The directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend of ss. per share, being at the rate of 5 per cent. per an num, free of income-tax, and to carry the balance remaining to the credit of the reserve fund." The CHAIRMAN having also read the balance-sheet, showing the results brought forward in the report, next proceeded to read the following report of the auditors, Messrs. Edward Harding and Edward Wright : " We beg to report our having completed our audit of the accounts of the company for the last half-year ending 31st July last, and have certified the same as correctly corresponding with the vouchers produced. The increased amount observable under the head of repairs,' as compared with the preceding half.yeare, arises from the item of wages to the engine-room crews of any of the fleet temporarily out of commission having been carried in the accounts before you to repairs,' instead of, as in former seasons, to wages,' which is consequently pro tanto reduced. The men so transferred from sea-going to shore service are constantly employed on the repairs of the machinery, &c., and the change in the mode of account has been adopted with the view of more accurately defining the working expenses. It is satisfactory to us to be enabled to mention that the service between the diffe rent ports has been carried on during the half-year with uninterrupted punctuality. This fact may tend to assure the proprietors of the efficiency of their fleet." The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. He said—Gentlemen, I shall not trouble you with any lengthened statement in addition to the report of the directors, which I have just read to you. The ac counts, which have been verified by the auditors, are the most satisfactory which we have yet been able to present to you. You are now the owners of eight steam-ships, in the most efficient state, and you have a sum of 3,935/. 153.5 d. of capital on hand, and you will have a. further amount at the credit of profit and loss of 7,9231 23., after payment of the dividend. — (Cheers.) You must not forget that, however satis factory your earnings mayihave been, your property Is uninsured. You are, in feet, your own under writers, and that it is from your profits alone that the reproduction of your steam-ships can be effected, so as to make your property enduring.—(Rear, hear.) True it is that you are the best friends and allies of the South-Eastern Railway, and that without you their best traffic could not be developed or secured. --t (Rear, hear.) Your ships, placed entirely at the disposal of the South-Eastern Railway Company, have enabled that company, by the rapidity and punctuality of their service, to main tain successful competition against opposition at low and unremuneratiug prices by inferior routes. The public prints have teemed with the complaints of pas sengers who have suffered from the inconveniences arising from the want of accommodation in the long sea voyages by other routes, and the miseries to which they have been subjected. It is most gratifying to state that your service hag been performed with un feilieg punctuality; and in the arrangement of the trains and your steam-ships to perform the special service from Paris to London in eleven hours, the only imperfection has been occasioned by delays at and connected with the Custom-house. The fault, however, lies not with the officers but with the sys teni. The rooms appropriated to the examination of the luggage of passengers both at Folkestone and Dover are much too small. At Dover that incon -eanieneo is about to be remedied by the use of a new room just completed, in immediate contiguity to the station. We have also entered into arrangements with the Treasury, by which we shall be enabled to bring the passengers' baggage from the boats in bulk direct to London, where it will be examined in a large and convenient room now preparing, at our London station, whereby our passengers will be saved the annoyance of having to loiter about Dover, or Folke stone, as they now are for a considerable time— many of them being fearful of going to the hotels lest they should be heavily mulcted for a short sojourn. I believe that these arrangements, coupled with others we hope to enter into with the Great Northern of France and Boulogne and Amiens Railways (now united)—a large shareholder in the latter of which, and a gentleman of great influence in Boulogne (Mr. Adam), I have great pleasure in now seeing in the room—will conduce much to the comfort and conve• uience of our passengers, and even increase the popu larity which our route at present enjoys.—(Cheers.) The approbation which the eleven hours' route has elicited on all bands is to us very gratifying, and should any shareholder not have seen it I would refer him to an excellent account of that route by a gentle man distinguished as much for the goodness of his heart and the kindliness of his feeling as for his lite rary talent—Mr. C. Dickens— w hi c h appear in the number of Household Words for August 30. Your funds will now allow of the purchase of one or two screw ships, with more capacity for merchandise than our present fleet, and this outlay will be beneficial to ourselves, and we believe also we shall be able to effect it under mutually advantageous arrangements with the Northern Railway of France and the South- Eastern Railway Company. The dividend of .5 per cent., which we propose to you to declare, is earned, and will be pail under the circumstance of your being your own insurers; but we never lose sight of the moral obligation which the South-Easter n Railway Company is under to this company to maintain for it a uniform dividend on its capital of 5 per. cent. per annum.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, gentlemen, I beg to move that the report of the directors, as now read to the meeting, be received and adopted, and that the same be printed and circulated amongst the pro priotora. Mr. RENSUAW, thi: deputy chairman, seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Ileac!rations were also adopted declaring a dividend. of ss. per share, free of income-tax, and payable on the 4th of `October next ; and placing the balance in, band which will remain after payment of th e dividend, namely, 7,923/. 25., to the credit of the re se.rve fund. In reply to a question from a PROPRIETOR, The CMA IRMAN sa id t h at an arrangement had ex isted by which the Boulogne and Amiens Company had contributed towards the cost of maintaining a night service by their packets, and the Great Northern or France towards a day service between the two countries. The arrangement with the Boulogne and Amiens Company had expired and had not been re nerwed, that company being about to amalgamate with the Great Northern of France Company; and the ar rangement with the latter of these two companies had alio expired ; but the directors of the South -Eastern and Continental Packet Company had not pressed for its renewal. He (the chairman) believed that they were now in a position to do without assistance from any company ; bat the directors would not lose sight of the moral obligation which rested upon the South- Eastern Railway Company, to secure them a uniform dividend; and they certainly would not put the two ne w screw steamers on the service without effecting proper arrangements with the South-Eastern and . the G-:reat Northern of France Railway Companies. On the motion of Mr. ADAM, a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors was unanimously paased, and the proceedings terminated. THE GREAT • EXHIBITION. The receipts yesterday amounted to 2,227/. 2.2 a, the number of visitors according to the police reports being 21,488. Hereafter, when the statistics of the Eashibitinn.rire polleeted in a compact form, it cannot the cr o op_ doubted that most curious striki ng conclus i ons w ill be drawn from th em . It i s i mpossible that a spec tacle so unprecedent e d i n every respect should not w E hi x c h h ib a . i Exhibition half-crown w fu.Ynish to the in g e n i ous m i n d most valuabl e results; brat in the meantime, a n d l oo ki ng at them from day to day, it does appear sufficiently strange that with. ipattluirneieties of quiet weeks ofthecloseof the observation admission fee affords should still be so much less coveted than while the charge was kept up at Ss. drring the week. In the whole history of popular die plays there has been nothing that has ever occurred more illustrative of the struggle between cheapness and public curiosity than the diurnal returns to the exchequer of the Royal Commission. Who, for in stance, would believe that in a country so rich as curs the 58,600 shifting visitors on Wednesday would have fallen to 21,483 half-crown visitors yesterday, and that the Exhibition nturos should exhibit so extraordinary a fluctuation in numbers and so remarkably even an amount of gross receipts ? If thep is any exception to he taken to the management of the Crystal Palace it is certainly that, with every temptation to become more and more popular by a reduction of prices, it has always had a strong leaning towards respectabi lity, or we should rather say selectness. Perhaps that tendency has led to other and ulterior influences likely to be strongly developed by the awards of the jurors. Some time ago we drew attention to the fact that in an obscure corner of the Exhibition, close to the agricultural implements, was placed a collection of the staple manufactures of Manchester, and that few visitors noticed that display, possessing no theatrical properties, but full of a rnateriarof industrial signifi cance. It seems to us that the great event of 1851 will hereafter be found blemished by a grand over sight, of which this is a partial illustration. Attracted by the novelty and splendid success of the occasion, we have certainly yielded more admiration to the grand and the beautiful than to the uostentatious, the practical, and the useful. The captivating luxuries which are adapted to the few have entered more largely into our imaginations and our hearts than those objects which are adapted to supply the' homely comforts and the unpretending wants of the many. We have thought more of gold and silver work—of silks, satins, and velvets—of rich brocades, sp.:endid carpets, glowing tapestry, and all that tends to embellish and adorn life, than of the vast and still uuexplored fields which the necessities of the humbler classes all over the world are constantly opening up to us. France has thus been enabled to run quietly away with 56 out of about 160 of our great medals, while to the department of American " notions" we owe the most confessed and the most important contribution to our industrial system. There cannot be a question that the results of the Exhibition bare demonstrated in the clearest manner our backwardness in the higher and more artistic branches of manufactures, but our chief lessons iu this respect come, not from Europe, bat from Asia, and especially from our own Indian possessions. We can afferd to be pupils there; and even if France points out to us the way to excellence, we ought to be grateful. There are, however, matters that touch us more nearly than even the true principles of colour and form, and of these the more prominent are such as affect our position as caterers for the demand of the million, as manufacturers of cheap and useful commodities adapted to the wants of the masses all over the world. The Great Exhibition has hitherto had a less favourable leaning in this direction than perhaps was desirable, and we regret to say that what transpires of the awards of the juries tends to a similar impression. As already stated, there will be about 160 great or council medals awarded. The prize medals will be from 3,000 to 4,000 in number. Then there will be a medal to each juror, another to each exhibitor, and about 2,000 for services rendered ; so that altogether there will be an unprecedented issue of bronze decorations, amounting to about 21,000 or 22,000. With the close to the Exhibition approaching the proper disposal of the surplus becomes a subject of increasing interest. The Local Committee of Bolton have been considering the matter, and have adopted, after due deliberation, the following reso lutions : At a electing of the Local Committee for Bolton, held in the. Megietrates' Room, Borough Court, on the 17th of September, 1851, Mr. i.Zebert Ileywood, J.P., in the chair, the following resolutions were unaeimoesiy agreed to: 1. Thet her Majesty's Commissioners be urgenely and respectfully requested to expreis and record the warm feelings of gratitude and admiration universally entertained towards his Royal Highness Prince Albert by the erection of a column and statue of the Prince as President of the Royal Commissioners, in bronn cr other metal, and in civil eoetuine, with a cuitehle in scription, either in the centre of the space now occu pied by the Crystal Palace, or in some other appropriate situation. 0. That the Royal Commissioners and the Execu tive Committee be respectfully requested, in the event of the removal of the Crystal Palace (which this committee would greatly regret), to purchase so much of its mate rials as may be required for the erection of a building in one or other of the new parks for the people, or some other convenient situation, adapted to receive all the specimens, models, drawings, engravings, printed books, ruanuseripts, and ether documents relative to the Exhibi tion, which it may be thought desirable to preserve for the use cif the nation. That admission to the s9ed build ing. should, under suitable regulations, be free to the public; and that so much of the surplus funds derived from the Great Exhibition of the present year as may be requisite for the necessary expenses of keeping the said building in repair, and for moderate salaries to the necessary officers, should be invested for that purpose. "3. That her Majesty's Commissioners for the Great Industrial Exhibition be respectfully requested to solicit from the Lords Commissioners of the Woods and Forests permission to mark the site and di mension, of the Crystal Palace, by placing at each corner a monolithic block of granite or other stone, with appropriate inscriptions deeply incised, recording the date of the opening and closing of the Exhibition, the year of our Lord and of the reign of Queen Victoria, its purpose and success, tho names of the President and members of the Royal Commission, of the Executive Committee and principal officers, the de signer of and contractors for the building, the number of visitors and the amount received for admission, with such other facts as may be considered of interest to future generations; and that it he farther suggested that the said monolithic blocks might be made ornamental as the bases emblematic of the four great divisions of the Exhibition, or of the four continents which have contri buted to it.'" _ This document comes before the Commission and the public in a legitimate form. The local bodies, who have contributed so much to the success of the Exhibition, can best and most authoritatively express their opinions with regard to the surplus, and it is quite certain that no plan will be attempted except such a one as meets with general concurrence, and is taken up by the industrial classes themselves. In the meantime we recommend the memorial from Bol ton as worthy of serious consideration. It seems to have fewer objectionable points about it than any thing of the kind that bas emanated from the pro vinces.--/rorning Paper. The Ist of May promised many experiments at the Great Exhibition. Perhaps not the least extra ordinary was to be the collecting, day after day, 50,000 or 60,000 persons, and putting them under one huge glass cover without the fear of suffocation, to " live, move, and have their being" in comfort for several hours together.

CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS. The accounts from the gold fields in Australia are most encourag ing, and it would seem that there arq districts near Bathurst where thelumps of pure metal are found of great *eight. Thetide ef-emP graion has therefore suddenly turned in that direction, and thou sands are preparing for the trip. It is, however, essential that who ever goes on this errand should be set up with appropriate dress for the work, for it need scarcely be mentioned that ordinary clothes would not last a week at gold digging or washing. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have anticipated the demand for proper working clothes, made of extra strong material, and adapted for emigrants to Australia. Dresses also to suit agricultural labourers and me chanics of all classes, and these are all independent of the most ex tensive assortment of fashionable clothes in the world. Visitors to London, and those who contemplate country or sporting trips, are earnestly requested to call at the Great Monarch Mart, Minories and Aidgate, or the noble West-end Branch Establishment, New Oxford s'reet and Hart-street, and inspect the dresses, which, for neatness, elegance, durability, and finished -workmanship, cannot be equalled, while the whole are marked at prices not more than one-half of that charged by ordinary tailors.

REPRIEVE OF A EUROPEAN SAILOR UNDER SENTENCE OF T R ANSPORTATION. —James M'Cargill, a sea man of the Indian navy, who was sentenced in June, 1850, by a naval court-martill to seven years' transportation, has been pardoned by the Queen; and discharged from custody. He was found guilty of highly insubordinate and disgrace ful conduct, in having circulated amongst the ship's com pany false and malicious reports against Lieut. A. W. Chitty, senior lieutenant of he steam-frigate Semiramis; but the sentence having been deemed illegal by the Company's law officers as being in excess of the punishment prescribed for the offence in the Mutiny Act, Government ordered the man to be rec,ivt d into the common gaol, but suspended the exe cution of the sentence, and a pardon having been applied for in the usual way, it was obtained under the Royal sign u4atlual.•',Bombag Gazette.
