London: Longman, Brown, and Co., 39, Paternoster-row. last week, only 6,000 found buyers, plain scented Orange Pekoe only realized 10d to lid; extra fine, in boxes, is 7d; spurioul Caper 71d to 8d; extra fine Chu lan Is 8d to is Sid; Gunpowder in boxes is 2d to 2s 4d; and spurious in i-chests 9d to 9id per lb. RICE.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate in East India Rico, and previous rates are barely sup ported. Of 684 bgs Bengal at auction a small part only sold at 93 6d to 10s for fine white; and at 4s 6d to Ss 6d for damaged. GINGER.—To - day a public sale of 850 brls Jamaica went at irregular prices; good mid to good selling at 70s to 82s; and low to mid at 41s to 66s per cwt. SPIRITS.—In East India rum large transactions have taken place ; prices, Loa o.,er, are not better, Is 3id per gallon proof having been accepted for 500 pun cheons. Leeward Island sells more freely at is 5d to is 541 proof, but upon these terms holders are disposed to realise. In Demerara sales have been small, 32 to 40 over proof at 2s ld to 24 4d, and 28 to 30 per cent at is 10d to 23. In the market for inferior sorts of Jamaica much dulness prevails, and easier rates are taken, but fine is want-d, and cannot be obtained at a reduction; prices for low and mid quality 28 to 33 per cent over proof rule at 2s 31 to 23 7d, mid to good 32 to 36 over 2s 83 to 33 2d, fine and choice marks 33 to 38 over 33 3d to 45 4d per gallon. Havennah in small parcels reslistd Is 2d proof. The Qovernment contract for 50,000 gallons, f a half East and If West India, has been take n within a fraction of is per gallon proof. Brandy s ells with more freedom t present there is, however, no advance, hut holders are firm; Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1830 realiz-aSis 4d to 4s 6i, of 1849 4 s 7 d to 4s 9d, of 1848 53 to 53 2 older sorts 5s 4d to 6s 4d, low to mid 2s 8d to 35 83, and Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. A good demand prevails fur British made Spirit at 9s 5d to 9s 6d net cash, and Gin at 7s 10d for 22 under proof. Geneva is in fair request at is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s 6,1. FRUIT.—The price of new Valencia Raisins is 40s per cwt, but the trade are not kitbiseli disposed to operate thereat; old is, however, in good demand at 27s to 283. New Turkey pulled Fie and Sultanas only in limited demand. at 60s to 703. - In Currants, business is of little moment, and 42s is the opening price for new; the value of low and mid old is 24s to 325, and better kind 34s to THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, SEPT. 16. Harvest being now over, our market resumed its usual appearance as regards the attendance of farmers, and this produced a fair supply, both of wheat and barley; the former met a tolerably free sale, and only partially declined from last week's prices. Barleys also met a ready sale, the trade assuming an unexpected firmness. PEP. QUARTER.I PER QUARTER. Wheat, reJ 36s to 39s Beans 32s to Oos 11)., new oos to 00s Peas Do., white 4os to 455 Oats..

Taylor and Bright's Circular states: —We have had a splendid week of harvest weather, and the fields in the district are nearly clear of white corn, and the whole gathered in fine condition. The markets generally are excessively dull, and wheat declines seriously in value—probably too seriously to last. We had a large show of new wheat at market to-day, qua lity fine, and weighs heavy; condition universally good. The market was much depressed, and about 2s lower, 34i to 36s being the general rates paid; the present low prices are attracting the attention of foreigners, and some purchases of now English wheat were made to-day for Hamburgh account. No transactions in foreign be yond the merest retail. There is amply choice of bar ley, and a fsir sale for grinding qualities at a trifling re 'uction on last week's rates. A small parcel of new Saal has arrived, quality, weight, and malting properties first rate; it had previously been sold at a price free on board at Hamburgh. Several samples of new English, quality various, but weight good, price 24s to 28s. Oats are the turn dearer. Nothing doing in beans or peas. The linseed market is only dull, but cakes are unaltered. A fair sale for rapeseed, at our quotations, both English and foreign. Rape cakes are only dull. The following are the present prices of grain : s. I B. F. s.

To-day at auction 114 hhds Ceylon Cocoa Nut Oil sold at 31s to 325. MR. HUME, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. On Saturday last Mr. Hullo met a large number of his constituents in the Town•hall, Montrose, the Provost in the chair. Mr. HOME, on being introduced to the meeting by the chairman, was received with loud cheers. After referring to several local matters, he said that, al though his constitution bad received a severe shake, he did not believe that there was another Member of the House of Commons whose name appeared so often in the division list as his own. The reason was that he was anxious to do his duty, to excluded all class interests from legislation, and to look to the good of the community at large. Government was estab lished for the interest of the many, and all public measures ought to be of the same character. When he entered the House of Commons class interest was triumphant. He therefore set himself in opposition to this, and advocated the removal of all monopolies, so as to give fair play to talent and enterprise, to do away with all unnecessary taxation, and to allow no man to put his hand into his neighbour's pocket. The cause of reform had advanced greatly since that time, but still there was much to do. Those who now occupied a prominent place in political affairs would pass away and be forgotten, but the country would remain. We must therefore look to the future, and apply all our energies in endeavouring to place the country in a condition to compete with the United States. That is the only country which will press us hard ; there is nothing to fear from any other. But the Ameri cans are an economical people ; they have not useless offices, and they pay only in proportion to the ser vices received. If England is to remain at the head of the commercial world, or even to be able to com pete with that rising power, she must reduce her ex penditure ; and in order that this may be done the people must have the direction of that taxing machine —the House of Commons. This shows the necessity for Parliamentary reform. England owes her supe riority to her perfect machinery, and to maintain her political and commercial superiority she must perfect the taxing machine. At present it does not work well—it does its work badly. It taxed those who should not be taxed, and passes by those who should bear the public burdens. The reason of this was that class interest to a certain extent governed and swayed the House of Commons. There must, therefore, be a fresh accession of popular strength. The people must now, in short, be thoroughly repre sented. The bees wh o make the honey must have a voice in the government of the hive. Lord John Russell had promised an amendment of the repre sentation, and he had been asked what length the Bill would go. That he did not know. He did not believe the Government had made up their minds about the matter. But there was one thing they might be sure of, and that was that the Government would give as little as possible. The extent of re form would depend upon the pressure from without. The people must tell the Government what they want. They must demand that every householder have a vote in the national representation. The country will not be content with less. This would increase voters from 900,000 to between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000. That would be the result of house hold suffrage ; but we must have something more. Tne voter must be protected from intimidation ; the ballot must accompany household suffrage. He was sorry to say that Lord John Russell was opposed to the ballot, but what was the practice of the aristocracy ? Why, in all their clubs the ballot ws used. Let them do, then, as they would be done to themselves. The electoral districts must also be equalized. Many were opposed to the idea of taking population as the basis of representation, and con tended that property ought to form the basis. Now, it was a curious fact, shown by the census, that as population had increased, property had also increased in proportion. He could speak long enough about the inequalities of our representation, but, in deed, it was not necessary. Look at Dundee and Harwich, for example. The former with a popula tion of 70,000 returned one Member, while the latter with only 200 electors returned two Members to Parliament. \Vas this state of things fair ? IVas it reasonable, or in accordance with common sense ? Such were the reforms the people wanted. By granting these the Ministry would satisfy the country and increase the happiness and prosperity of the nation. Mr. Flume was greeted during his speech with re peated applause, and after a vote of confidence was unanimously accorded him the meeting separated. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. TIMES—The best part of a year has slipped away since we parted company from the Metropolitan Com mistioners of Sewers. Despite the ominous hints of its friends and the determined opposition of its ene mies, this body has maintained itself outwardly un impaired, and while other Commissions have been consigned to disrepute or extinction, the Greek-street Court is apparently entering upon a fresh lease of official vitality. It has been reorganized under a new, and, as we are tolc3, a more efficient chairman; it certainly levies a considerable amount of money, and it transacts no small quantity of routine business. We had not intended to do more than watch its per formances in what may be, perhaps, only a transition state of existence, but an incident occurred the other day which indirectly produced disclosures of great general interest. At the Temple-pier, as we need not tell any body residing between Charing-cross and St. Paul's, an enormous sewer is incessantly dis charging its contents into the tidal waters of the Thames. Of course the immediate neighbourhood experiences the usual results of such arrangements ; but the nuisance, in the present case, was not confined to the population of the vicinity. The pier is in great request as a landing-place, and thousands of visitors from healthier quarters of the metropolis were thus indulged with a taste of what was daily endured by those less favourably lodged than themselves. Accordingly there was a resolute "representation" made to the Commissioners on the subject. The steam-boat company complained, the passengers com plained, the inhabitants complained, and a large number "of barristers and others" signed an indig nant memorial. Attached to the document also was a " mark" resembling the famous sign manuel of the King of Ava, which the British Ambassador com pared to the impression producible on a sheet of paper by the dirty claw of a hen. This was the attestation of the Chinaman on board the junk, who, with all the training and patience of his countrymen, found it, nevertheless, impossible to support the customs of our good city of London. On Friday last, therefore, the Chairman of the Commission introduced this subject at a special Court, which incontinently proceeded to discuss and resolve thereon. There was no doubt about the magnitude or reality of the nuisance alleged. The sewer in question was " one of the largest run ning into the Thames ; it collected the drainage of "an immense district ;" the river was " greatly pol luted and exceedingly offensive," while the crowded state of the thoroughfare was undeniable. In point of fact, one of the best frequented spots in the metro polis had been selected for the most profuse discharge of sewage, and, to mend the matter, the Chairman was fain to admit with remarkable candour that " under the recent proceedings of the Commission the place had become decidedly more offensive than be - fore." All this was extremely ingenuous and in teresting, but what was to be done ? The expense of covering in the sewer with a trunk was estimated at 4501., and though the outlay might not appear unreasonable in itself considering the occasion, it could not be forgotten that we had been promised a bodily extinction of the whole system together. To expend 4501., therefore, in patching a sewer which was to be presently disused, and in modifying a nui sance which was to be summarily abated, naturally looked unbusinesslike and extravagant. Thus the very essence of the Commission's capacity and func tion was accidentally brought on the table. If Lon don, including the Thames, was to be forthwith scientifically and comprehensively drained, the Temple-pier nuisance would vanish of itself ; but if not, or if only at some indefinite period, then some expedient in mitigation of the evil must be employed meanwhile. 'Which of these presumptions was to be accepted? Is the great work of drainage going on or not ? The question is none other than the iden tical inquiry which has been made so earnestly and so often ; and here are the Commissioners inveigled against their will into a practical confession of the truth. The chairman boldly expressed his own opinion that it would not be advisable to incur much charge on a work which " must be rendered useless by the general system of drainage the Commi-sioners bad then in band." Mr. Kendall very justly observed that the question turned "on the time the nuisance would have to be endured," pending the accomplishment of the new works. " If," he added, " there was little prospect of such completion within a few years, then some expence might be incurred at present." Mr. Ste phenson came nearer to the point by remarking that " the system of intercepting sewers could not he com pleted until four or five years at least, even if their construction could be commenced at once, which could not be done." He further stated it as "manifest that the Committee must not entirely abandon outlets into the Thames for the sewage, but retain them as safety valves, in case of the other outlets becoming acci dentally choked." These were the opinions of the Metropolitan Commissioners on the case before them, and these are prospects in the matter of drainage as authentically depicted. The only conclusion at which we can arrive from such information is that the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers is just as much in the dark respecting the drainage of London as the chief mate of the Chinese junk. If there was any single point on which a plain categorical reply might have been expected from the Commissioners, it was surely the position of their own proceedings. We left them regenerate in constitution and sentiment, resolute to drain the city forthwith, and actually decided upon certain specific plans for that purpose. Every thing at last was in proper train, and the only ques tion was one which could be approximately answered by any experienced contractor. Yet now, after the lapse of nine months, when a point arises involving the reality of all these doings, neither the Chairman nor his colleagues appear to have any definite infor mation on the subject. Mr. Lewes, to be sure, spoke of the general system as being " then in hand," but Mr. Stephenson tells us not only that no " commence ment" has yet been made, but that it is impossible to m ake one, while Mr. Kendall speaks of the " pros pects" of the Commission as a point on which the Commissioners themselves are left wholly to conjec ture. But if the Court knows so little, who knows any more ? What upon earth are ordinary ratepayers to conclude about their chances of relief if these chances appear utterly inscrutable and obscure to those charged with the accomplishment of the task ? As some indication of their convictions, the Commissioners ordered a plan and estimate to be prepared for covering in the Temple-pier sewer, so that we may take their general impression as un favourable to the proximity of any " general system" of drainage. We have no wish to be under stood on the present occasion as imputing any perso nal blame to the Commisionera engaged. Taking the "prospects" as they actually appeared, there could be no question about the propriety of mitigating the Temple-pier nuisance without waiting for the com pletion of a work which it is judged impracticable to commence. Neither is the indefiniteness of these views probably chargeable on the members of the Commission. Perhaps the course to which public opinion compelled them was not altogether acceptable to those prepossessed with conclusions of their own ; nor do we conceive that the diversion of the sewage from Ithe Thames has been acquiesced in as an in dispensable condition without considerable reluctance. But the obstacles at present opposed to efficient action are more likely to be concerned with the constitutional and financial prospects of the Commission than with the caprices of its individual members. Lord J. Rus sell dropped a hint in Parliament about the possible amalgamation of these duties with the great busi ness of water-supply, and funds, we know, are bard to come by when credit is shaken. It was to some such considerations, we suspect, that Mr. Stephen son's " impossibilities" referred ; but although we give these embarrassments their due allowance, we cannot disguise from ourselves that the actual resul' is as detrimental to the sanitary interests of the _ tropolis as the most wilful neglect. In plain words, the drainage of London is no nearer than before. We have secured the recognition of a principle, but we have made no further advance towards the execution of the work. Our streets are ripped open, our houses are bodily undermined, and our pockets are heavily taxed, but by the confession of the Commissioners themselves there is no prospect of even commencing an effective reform, while in the meanwhile the offen siveness of the existing system is somewhat greater than before. This state of things must be termi nated. If the Commission is to be charged with the projected duty, it should be invested with proper powers ; if a better machinery is available, it should be substituted at once. At present we actually pay for damage instead of benefit, and should esteem it a AWFUL OCCURRENCE.--An old man named Mark positive improvement to get nothing at all for our Bassett has been committed to Winchester gaol for the man- I money. slaughter of his sin, aged 13.

The chief features of the scheme are, proof that the s alubrit y of our climate tends greatly to that it stipulates for the dispatch of a steamer from strengthen and comfort the declining years of man. From E n gland to Sydney, and vice versa, not every month, the 2d to the 9th September, were registered successively but only every alternate month; that it confines the i knots au sev en persons, of the following ages-67, 78, 55, 74, 79, 7„g, contract to screw-steamers ; that it fixes 8 82.—Woolmer's Exeter Gazette. hour as the average speed during each voyage, both out and home; that it limits the duration of the arrangement to four years, subject to a twelvemonth's notice at the end of that time; that it does not exclude either iron or wooden vessels from the service; and that it does not specify any particular period within which the first steamer is to be dispatched. As re gards several of these points, the present advertise ment is a great improvement upon former ones of a similar nature. For example, to stipulate for a par ticular rate of average speed is far better than to ' demand vessels of a specified amount of horse power ; and the omission of the usual clause re quiring the dispatch of the first vessel within some fixed period—the interval named in such cases being often unreasonably short—is only fair towards the general body of shipowners, as it gives them a chance of competing with the powerful joint-stock companies embarked in steam-naviga• tion enterprises. There is wisdom also in leaving the competition open both to iron and wooden vessels; and we are glad to observe that the Admiralty intend in the first instance at least, to try the experiment of offering only a short term—in this instance four years —of guaranteed continuance of the contract. Here, however, our commendations must end. Whilst, as regards details, the Government seem prepared to profit by the discussions of the last three or four years, and particularly by the evidence laid before the Select Committees of the last two sessions, it is too plain that, in everything which relates to the prin ciples which ought to determine such a question, Sir Charles Wood adheres as obstinately and blindly as ever to the narrow and mischievous fallacies which he developed, in the early part of 1850, in his famous India House controversy. The limitation of the pro posed service to six voyages each way in the course of a year—in other words, the adoption of an " alter nate-monthly "_instead of a " monthly" servid—is fatal to the -esilbetejsaheine as regards the establish ment either of an efficient service via the Cape, or of a satisfactory postal intercourse with the Australian colonies. There is already a monthly screw-steamer to the Cape, which is a full half of the distance to Sidney. Extend that monthly line to an Aus tralian terminus, and the arrangement will be effective, economical, and complete. But the proposal to run once a month to the Cape, and only once in two months to Sydney, is ab surd on the face of it. If the Cape route to Sydney ,is worth adopting at all, it is worth adopting in its I integrity ; and it can only be so adopted by entering into arrangements which will render the service effi cient and profitable—which will attract towards it that large and constant traffic which is only to be se cured by the combined inducements of frequency, ex pedition, certainty, and cheapness. An alternate monthly steamer to Sydney Willa e a costly plan for Government, a hazardous undertaking for the con tractor, almost useless as respects the colonies, and in the highest degree unsatisfactory to the Australian interests in this country. It will facilitate nothing, develop nothing, and please nobody but Sir Charles Wood. We are, however, led to believe that, behind this proposal, there is a scheme of which the public have as yet had no intimation. We shall be prepared to see an advertisement issued by the Admiralty, be fore the end of the year, for such an adjustment of the existing contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company as will permit that company to run a steamer every alternate month from Singapore to Sydney; and it is probable that, in the official notice which has just made its appearance, we have before us only half of the exquisitely ridiculous plan which Sir Charles Wood has conceived for the settlement of the long neglected Australian mail question. The country will, we suspect, be called upon—notwithstanding all the discussions which have taken place, the evidence which has been collected, the facts which have been established, and the distinct recommendations which have been made by Lord Jocelyn's Committee—to support some in geniously complicated scheme for reaching Sydney twelve times a year, partly via Singapore, and partly by way of the Cape. We have no hesitation in saying ' that a more delusive and unsatisfactory arrangement could scarcely be imagined. We could understand a plain and open preference either of the one route or of the other—and the multiplication of risks and uncer tainties which such a scheme involves—all this consti tutes one of those peculiar exhibitions of perverse and obstinate ingenuity which have already made Sir Charles Wood's name the bye-word of his party. We cannot hope that, under present circumstances, he will relinquish the impracticable project of which the recent Admiralty notice may be regarded as the first development; but we are certain that, no matter how it may be introduced and supported, it will not succeed. It is no doubt in his power, by further procrastination and delay, to inflict severe injury on every interest connected with the Australian colonies ; but in the end the Cape line will be adopted, and Sir Charles Wood will only succeed in confirming and improving the very peculiar and most undesirable reputation which he has already acquired in connexion with this question. As regards the average speed re quired by the contract, we do not think that the pro posed rate of Si knots is open to any valid objection. It must be remembered that this part of the subject is simply a question of cost. If the Admiralty think proper to pay the price, they can have 10} as easily as 81- knots an hour; but the circumstances of the Aus tralian packet service do not call for any such extra vagance. In the communications with India and America the case is different. On those lines the public expect to have the highest speed which, in the present state of science, can be attained ; and when, either in consequence of gold discoveries, or—which would be still better—of the legitimate and healthy deve lopment of its resources, Australia shall have become of as much consequence to us as India or America, we shall be prepared to place the Cape packet line on the same first-class footing as our communications with those countries. In the meantime, however, it is important that the public should clearly perceive the absurd and mischievous nature of the present device, which virtually tends to supersede the Cape line by introducing a mere alternate monthly service. Noth ing could be more clearly established than the fact of the practicability and desirableness of that line, as shown ;by the evidence given before Lord Jocelyn's Committee of last session. Many of the members of that body, who entered upon the inquiry with a pre judice in favour either of the Singapore or of the Pa nama route, were so impressed by the testimony adduced in favour of the Cape line, that they became its active supporters, and the decided views enter tained by the Committee on the subject may be in ferred from the following paragraph of their first report, which was adopted without dissent or opposi.. Lion :—" Your Committee consider that it has been satisfactorily proved that, by the Cape, postal service with England may be conducted with sufficient re gularity and rapidity to meet the present require ments of the colonies ; that it would bring into direct csmmunication with each other the principal colonies of Australia; that it would furnish the most econo mical, and, at the same time, the least inconvenient means of transit to passengers, including even the labouring classes; that it would offer facilities for the transmission of merchandize without the inconve nience of transhipment; and that it would establish a line of communication, independent of other nations, between the mother-country and her distant colonies, which might, in case of any sudden emergency, be useful in keeping open the communication between England and her Empire in the East." When it is remembered that this passage is not the language of partisans wedded by interest or prejudice to the ad vocacy of a particular project, but that it conveys the deliberate judgment of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, co mposed of men of all parties, our readers will feel no difficulty in perceiving the mischievousness of the course to which Government seemed resolved on committing themselves. me- - COTTAGE ECONOMY. BEER.—.. corres pondent, who is a bee-keeper, ob serves he often hears cottagers complain of the difficulty of paying their rent, and as an efficient means of doing so, he recommends them to turn their attention to bees. " I would advise , " he says, young people, as soon as they are married, instead of buying so many fine paltry things into the house, to endeavour to save a half sovereign, and buy a skep of bees. In two years they can get a good stock, that will bring them in money enough to pay their rent every year. I have kept bees for twenty-one years, and have been very for tunate with them; the account of honey and wax pro ceeds for the last three years is as follows:- 1849. 221 lbs of honey, at 6d. per 1b.... £5 10 6 it 9 ditto wax, Is.6d ditto ... 013 6 1850. 131 ditto honey, at 6d. ditto ... 3 5 6 61 7 ditto wax, at Is. 4d. ditto ... 0 9 4 1851. 170 ditto honey, at 6d. ditto ... 4 5 0 64 8 ditto wax, at Is. 2J. ditto ... 0 9 4 ''''' t— , THE GREAT 1B lox,- ,_- ` Ex 7 -- ~,,,,,._ ... „, . esterday the suns of 3,0051. 9s. as mien la 'Y'sarts‘)'"A shillings at the doors, and 1/. fur the of trieason 1.4 . :,4 1 ticket.

It will i :.. the near approach of the time when the Exl b Ili A to , 1 410. be closed begins to tell upon the masses, and before the 11th of next month it is expected that the popu larity of the great display will be demonstrated in a manner the most unmistakeable and impressive. 'rho sensation of freshness and the first delightful feelings of novelty have gone, but a general conviction appear 3 Vto be entertained that the Exhibition cannot tenni nate in an unworthy or 'undignified manner, and that 1 that event will be celebrated by a ceremony which, if not equal to the opening, will at least be worthy of and in perfect harmony with it. In the mean time the sale of season tickets continues, founded 1 in all probability on the strength of that impression. The best method of appropriating the surplus its every day becoming a matter of greater interest, and more keen discussion among the leading men connected with the Exhibition. Upon one point all the projectors seem ageeed—namely, that it should be funded for future emergencies, and that the inte rest only should be considered available for such schemes as it may be deemed expedient to carry out in the meantime. This is an important matter on which to secure unanimity ; for if, after a given number of years, it is found desirable to have another Great Exhibition, by a prudent economy at present we shall have the means of doing so on a worthy scale secured to us. There is something also in the character of this surplus, coming to the Royal Com mission almost like a supernatural gift from the good genius of the Crystal Palace, which forbids that it should be expended on schemes of a hazardous and doubtful character. If they let it slip through their fingers they will not easily get such a sum of money for the promotion of industrial exhibitions again collected. It would be folly to rely on Go vernment for assistance, and the public might not be disposed to support so warmly a second time with their subscriptions an undertaking in the first ill.. stance recommended -by its novelty and by the direct patronage of the Crown. Industry and provident habits should go band in hand, and the Royal Com mission cannot do wrong in funding the surplus. The unanimity that prevails upon this point is a pledge that it will be so, but, before it is done, there are; certain debts of honour which the Commission have to discharge, and which it is in every way desirable that they should meet in a liberal spirit. When the plan of a great exhibition was still in em bryo, its expensiveness certain, and its success doubtful, it was prudently determined to keep the outlay incurred within the strictest control. A scale of salaries and remuneration was, under the cir cumstances, laid down, totally inadequate to the services to be performed, and so far was this carried that some of the most important and indispensable labours of the Exhibition have been discharged with out any recompense whatever. To specity names would be invidious where so many have been pe cuniary sufferers, by an undertaking which their Wl tiring exertions and ability mainly brought to a tri umphant termination. The Commission, however, are quite aware of the facts. To stop short in the midst of a man's regular pursuits, and to devote many months entirely to an episodical scheme like the Exhibition, is no ordinary exercise of self. denial and risk for a public object. To do this, and to be shabbily paid for services of the most arduous and responsible character, would, with a large surplus in hand, be a case of extreme hardship and injustice. If the Commission chose to stand upon the strict letter of the law, they could saddle the contractors with a heavy loss for having dared to build the Crystal Palace ; they could dismiss Mr. Paxton with an empty expression of thanks for his brilliant design. They could quietly overlook the claims of such men as Professor Ansted and Dr. Lindley, bringing to their gratuitous labours the highest scientific attain ments. Even their Executive Committee might be coolly set aside, with one of its acting members, entirely unrewarded, and another with his previous position unimproved and his paramount claims unre cognised. The public do not feel as much at present as they will do when they have had more time to con sider how the praises. the honours, and the rewards connected with the origin and fulfilment of the Great Exhibition should be apportioned. Their eyes are naturally drawn to the formal and official heads of the undertaking, and the merits of those who have worked under them and been content to veil their exertions under the shade of a subordinate position, have been concealed from view. These things, how ever, cannot always remain unknown, and as it is one of the most conspicuous features of the great indus trial display in Hyde-park to raise up obscure talent and proclaim excellqnce from wheresoever it comes, we trust that the Royal Commission in dealing with their staff of officials will set a worthy example of the principles they recognize. They did not originate the scheme of the Great Exhibition—they did not watch over it during its precarious infancy—they did not get the Prince to stand godfather to it, and, with a boldness unusual among Royal personages. pin his name aad reputation to its success. The un dertaking had been well developed, and taken a firm bold upon the public mind before the Commission existed—nor will it escape observation that the list of Commissioners does not contain one individual except the Prince whose name can be considered as largely mixed up with the Exhibition from the oat -set. This is not said in disparagement of their use fulness, for that has been undoubted. They concen trated an immense amcunt of favourable influence upon the undertaking. They raised it above any suspicion of jobbery or partiality, and they gave it that prestige of high supervision to which in this country so much consequence is attached. Individual members, especially Lord Granville, rendered most important, services, and the proceedings of the body have, on the whole, been characterized by great judgment and good sense. Still it is necessary to bear in mind that the chief credit and éclat of the Exhibition do not belong to them. Upon this state of matters comes the question of remuneration ; and, as the surplus is a fair fund upon which to draw for such a purpose, the distribution of rewards which must take place may easily be managed in such a way as to satisfy every reasonable expectation. The Commission seek to propitiate exhibitors and jurors by an extensive dis tribution of medals, certificates, and reports. Their staff of officials is more under their control, and less likely to be obstreperous, should the claims of its mem bers be overlooked. I'lre cannot, however, suppose that as a body the Royal Commission can be capable of such ingratitude as their legal position enables theta to practise with impunity. They have not yet, it is true, shown any decided inclination to lay the honours and praises which have been heaped upon them at the feet of the subordinates, but perhaps they are reserving their acknowledgments for the close of the Exhibition, and are preparing to publish the awards to their staff contemporaneously with those of the j uries to exhibitors. Two additions have recently been made to the United States' department which are well worthy of notice. The first is the Maynard primer, a substi tution for the percussion cap, which is simply a coil of paper, at intervals in which spots of detonating powder are placed. The action of the doghead car ries out from the chamber in which it is contained this cheap and self-acting substitute for the ordinary guu apparatus, which is a vast economy in expense as well as i n ti m e. In its character the invention is on• which admits of being easily adapted to every de scription of firearms at present commonly in use, and that at a trifling cost. Another remarkable addition to the American department is a service of gold plate, presented to Mr. Collins, of steam navigation celebrity, by the city of New York, and the metal composing which was, only three months ago, still lying undiscovered in the diggings of Cafforisia. Within that wonderfully brief period the gold has been found, brought to New York, and manufactured, without alloy, by Messrs. Ball, Tompkins, and Black, into a series of articles highly creditable to their good taste. There is nothing in the Exhibition at all com parable to the auriferous brilliancy of colour which this Californian plate possesses, and for that reams alone it is well worthy of inspection.
