"To-day the passage for carts at the central entrance
will, according to the prbated announcements on the
walls of the building, be closed; and we are informed
that the whole of the space will be boarded
over before to-morrow evening. Meanwhile, • deep,
square well has been sunk, and bricked at the sides, for
the pendulum of Mr. Benson's great clock to swing in;
and at each corner of this shaft, scene few feet removed,
lea solid piece of groundwork for the support of the
huge piece of mechanism, which will rest on iron
columns. The upper portion of the same work,
separated by the space of the picture-gallery and by •
considerable height above, are going on well. There
is an opening in the roof of the tipper chamber,
appropriated to photography, through which on
Saturday might have been witnessed the operation of
Axing the dial. This object, which has been executed
in Magnus's enamelled slate, from designs furnished
at the South Kensington School of Art, measures up-
wards of nine feet in diameter. nee scaffolding at pre-
sent bides it from view without; but this obstacle is in
course of removal, and the effect will shortly be seen.
The mechanical communication between the exterior
dial and the works of the clock, In the Very heart of the
building, is a triumph of ingenuity. Though the rods
and pulleys will all have to be parried over • glair roof,
they will scarcely be discernible frau the framework
which they will traverse. While observing the
of the clock front from the photographic gallery,
may mention that this apartment is being rapidly pre-
pared for its purpose, and that signs are not wanting
of attractions which will possibly overcome the dis-
advantageous position of this 4e2artmein, loaned; as
it is, at the summit of a moat (*fundable imieent."—

to the opening of the Great Exhibition. She is anxious
that it should, as far as possible, partake of the

Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, X.Q., his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. the Lord High
