The Imperial Commissioners, seeing that the
opening ceremony had been a failure, were evidently
determined to eine their labours with an expiring
effort calculated to redeem the many errors in Isle
meat for which they are answerable. No sane
excel in the splendour of its effects and in the distri-
bution of its spectators that to which the exhibitors
were this morning introduced. Within a fortnight a
net amphitheatre had been raised extending from
She eastern to the western extremity of the nave;
the galleries had been draped with red velvet hang-
ings fringed with gold and wreaths of flowers, form-
ing gorgeous balconies as the framework to the
picture; a splendid throne, protected by a rich
canopy, had been raised opposite the principal
entrant*, and facing the central point of the amphi-
theatre. Along the inner line of the amphitheatre
brilliant trophies of the manufactures that had won
prises had been distributed, while armed the throne
the candelabra of Baccarat reflected the morning
light. The southern wale, extending to the east
and west of the throes, and fcrmie the background
to the brilliant uniforms of the legislative and diplo-
matic bodies, glowed with the prise pictures of living
Europe. Hers were Ingres side by side with Land-
seer, Decamps near Horne Vernet, and Delsoroix
nearest the throne. In the gallery behind the throne
was the great orchestra, that stretched away till it
seemed that the drum sticks might touch the crystal
roof. Thus grouped about the Imperial throne were
the highest developments of science, art, and music;
letters alone were wanting to complete the sane—
letters in some way symbolised. Alas! had such
symbol been required, Frenchmen would have been
compelled to request from Power the loan of the
Greek Slave.
The doors opened at ten o'clock, and before 11
the vast amphitheatre showed only a sea of living
heads—while the balooniee became bright with
human fans. The morning mist took somewhat
from the splendid effects of the arrangement ; still
it was one the grandest it is possible to conceive.
Much time was 'Rent within, as without, in specu-
lations on the various uniforms that soon began to
group about the throne. I remarked Capt. Fowke,
Mr. Cole, and Mr. Ratner, all wearing the deco-
rations distributed to them on the previon evening
at the Palms Royal by Prins NiToleoe. Very
soon alter eleven, a cardinal walked into the open
nen before the throne, and took up his mat on the
right upon one of the gorgeous seats sat apart for
the corps diplomairm. Presently, amid the
excitement of the multitudes in the theatre,
who insisted upon standing upon the seats,
to the annoyance of the authorities, the
dignitaries of the law courts, in their scarlet gowns
and quaint black cope, walked in prooresice to their
mats. Next Isms some ladies of the court, in dresses
universally allowed to be perfect As the hour wore
on, the various costumes of the corp• diplomatsque
reduced a perfect fever of excitement among the
ladies seated within the English spas. The entrant's
of theTurkishembemador was that which created more
applause than any other. Lord Cowley appeared about
half-past 11; and after exchanging a few salute-
dons, got into the most earnest conversation with the
Papal nuncio, which was may disturbed by the ap-
pease°, of the feaster of the entemosin This con-

Rearm and Empress walked up the steps of

and the Princess "(Whittle. The Im-
perial pair at awe tensed to the assembled people,
and bowed their asicnowledgmeate of the hearty
cheering, which came chiefly, it must be said, from
the eighteen hundred English subjects present. The
hand and chorus thee ohm* up; hot people appeared
too curious about the brilliant court bakes to
I pay mush attention to M. Iliadic.. During the per-
formanoe the Empress chatted with the Duke of
Cambridge, who sat at her Majesty's left hand ;
while the Emperor appeared to be busy with Prince
Napoleon about the order of the ceremonies. The
Prince handed a fan to the Empress, which her
Majesty appeared to examine most carefully, point-
ing out its beauties to the Doke of Cambridge.
The :Duke, however, appeared to enter but
I lightly into so feminine an examination. The
Emperor, on the contrary, to whom the Empress
the
urnefift
I weed , minutely examined it on both aides,
I beforepassing it to Prince Jerome. When it bad
rot to r her Majesty's hands, she appeared to tie
it up most carefully with blue ribend before giving
it to an attendant. Presently the music seemed, and
Prince Napoleon advanced to the foot of the throne,
and in a voice so low and nasal that not a single
syllable of it reached anybody whom I could find,
read, or appeared to chant, his amount of the Exhi-
bition of which he had been the president and gover-
nor. During this reading, which occupied about
twenty minutes, there were two or three loud inter-
ruptions from the French halt of the amphitheatre.
The Prince alluded to the difficulties which first
beset the Exhibition, and the subsequent great son-
wares et strangers from every part of the globe, and
its final success. Tho report then summed up the
labours of the jury, the harmony which pervaded
those labours, the number of medals awar&d, and
concluded with expressing thanks for the support
thePrines received from the enlightened men attached
to it.
At its conclusion the Prince bowed and twtal
his place near his father. The thirty thou
people were hushed till you might have heard a pin
fell as the Emperor advanced from the throne. un-
folded the paper on which his reply was mitts%
and began to read it. The clew vigorous voice in
which it was read sent every syllable distinctly into
every part of the vast building—its °Deftest with the
low mumbling tones of Prins* Napoleon, added to
the emphasis end fervour with which its war passages
were pronounced, raised the cadmium of the vast
miaow= to an ungovernable pitch. Passage after
Mwas interrupted by loud applause, pardon-
om the English ; and at its conclusion hurrah.,
indisputably Saxon, were mint forth one after the
other with unabated energy. The Emperor and
Empress, who looked thoroughly delighted, bowed
their acknowledgments frequently—turning in a
marked manner to the British quarter of the amphi-
theatre.
When the applause bed subsided the chorus sang
some vows to the air, " See the Conquering Hero
comes;" the exhibitors entitled to gold medals
grouped themselves about their respective standards;
the Emperor advanced to the last of the steps of the
throne; the foreign commissioners and Prince Napo-
leon grouped themselves on the left, and the exhi-
bitors advanced one by ens to receive their gold
medals from the Emperor's hands. Prince Napoleon
introduced each priseholder to the Emperor, giving
his Majesty, et the same time, the medal, which he
placed in the exhibitor's hand with a bow, and here
and there a word of encouragement, apparently.
This tedious ceremony occupied nearly an boor.
Daring its progress, the Empress (who was dressed
is a oberry-coloured velvet high dress, covered with
rich white lace, and wore a splendid neck-
let* and diadem of pearls) chatted with the
Duke of Cambridge. Prise, Jerome, and the
Princess Mathilde. Her Majesty even crowed
the platform to talk to one of the cardinals; and
afterwards entered into conversation with the Papal
Nuncio. The spectators grew weary of the constant
file of gentlemen who passed before the Emperor, re-
ceived their modal, bowed, and then darted away,
generally In the wrong direction, to be recovered
presently by the master of the ceremony. When,
however, people perceived, gathered around the last
standard, Horace Vernet, in his green embroidered
cast of the institute, Sir Edwin Landseer, Sir Charles
Barry, and the rset of the painters to whom prises
of honour had been awarded, the curiosity of the am-
phitheatre was thoroughly revived. It was remarked
that the Emperor was particularly gracious to Sir
Edwin Lendseer, and as the English master
returned to his wet he wee greeted with
a British cheer. The distribation at an sod
the Emperor led the Empress from the
throne, and walked along the inner circle of the
amphitheatre, where the industrial trophies were
raised. As their Majesties passed those of Eikington,
Minton, and the Indian department, they were once
more noisily greeted. Thousands of people mistook
this Majesties? departure from the threes as a signal
that the eetweasy was at an end; others wished to
see the precession pass beck to the Tuileries; so that
when the illustrious pair returned to the space below
the throve the amphitheatre was more than half
tletipty. This destroyed the effect of the departure,
wilielstook place almost at awe, to the roll of drone
OA Ow thunder of cannon. And so this Great Ex-
libidos of 1836 was greatly—finely closed.
Their Majesties returned to the Tuileries in the
order in which they left.
