NORTH LONDON INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.

The success that has attended this exhibition far
exceeds Cho expectations of even the most sanguine of its
promoters. Yesterday fortnight the exhibition was pub-
licly opened, and up to last night no leas than 182,0 C)
persons have visited it. Every day during the fortnight
some special attraction in the shape of vocal or instru-
mental performances has been provided, and it is only fair
to add that nothing seems to bare been left undone by the
committee to render those performances thoroughly enjoy-
able. Last Thursday the attendance of visitors numbered
as many as '22,0j0; indeed, the hall on this occasion was so
inconveniently packed, that inspecting the article'
exLibited was out of the question. The great rush
of visitors of course takes place at night, and
up to the time of closing every night last week a dense
crowd thronged the building. Notwithstanding the great
crush on these occasions, it is most gratifying to record that
nothing has either been broken or missed up to the present.
As is already known, it was originally arranged that the
exhibition should remain open only a fortnight, but the
committee have found it necessary, from the continued
crowded state of the ball, ►nd in compliance with the
request of a large number of persons, to keep the exhi-
bition open for an extra week. It will therefore remain
open till next Monday. on which day the closing ceremony
will take place, at which the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will preside.

The LORD CHARTILLOR said he had crest ple .r,
stating to the civic authorities that her Ilap,sty f sp.
proved of the course which the citizens of Led ;.
adopted in electing Mr. Hale u the future mayor of tt...
great city. . .

The loving rup went round, and after en ;e •
courtesies with the Lord Chancellor, the civic party r,tire.l.
and returned in their carriages to the Guildhall.
The Lord Mayor elect will be sworu into utr....e
Guildhall next 'Tuesday afternoon.

The Ripley Institute, an eatabliahineut
for the purpose of maintaining and educating 341 iThat
children belonging to Lancaster and Liverpool, Rill
be opened in the former borough, tomorrow, with
considerable ceremony. This munificent institution wet
built and endowed by Mrs. Ripley, widow of the late M.
Ripley, of Liverpool, at • cost, it is said, of 140,0001. Mr.
Ripley died in 1852, but his widow, carrying out his believe.
lent project to the letter, will happily take pot iu the oyes.
ing ceremany. The Bishops of Manchester and Chester are
also expected to attend.

It May be mentioned that the adjudicators have com-
pleted their work, and in a day or two the committee will
be put in possession of their report as to whom prizes have
been awarded. The committee have in course of prepara-
tion handsomely embellished cards for prizes, and arrange-
ments are being made for every exhibitor to be presented
with a suitable and elegant memento of the exhibition, to be
presented at the distribution of prizes. The Earl of
Shaftesbury will present the prizes. The distribution will
take place as early as possible after the closing of the ex-
hibition, but it is feared from the elaborate nature of the
arrangements necessary to be made that it will not take
place sooner than 80[110 time early in January next.

THE CHANCELLoR 01 THE EXt:HEOVER AND THE
[ATI: Drag or NEwc•STLE.—The Chancellor of the
Exchequer has ietimated his intention of presenting
to the beautiful church of St. Luke, Shirmaks,
Nottioghamehire, a sisised glass window, is memory
of his lamented friend and colleague, the Luke of
Newcastle. Tin Duke built and endowed the church.
The brat stops was laid on St. Luke's day, October 18, 1861.
by his Royal Highness the Priam of Wales ; the church
was opened October 15. 1868. and the lint anniversary fes-
tival was held October IS, Rait, with greet Become. While
listening with hearty pleasure to the account of the festi-
val the duke died with appalling suddenness.. flu Suodey the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, accompanied by Lord Foley
and lie. Kingsley—one of his grace's medical attendants,
who will present another memorial window to St. Luke's—
attended divine service at St. Lake's, Shireoaks, which was
crowded to suffocation. A most affecting sermon was
preached by the incumbent, the Rev. Edward Hawley, from
Job 1., 21, " The Lord gave and the Lord bath rek-n
away ; blessed be the name of the Lord." Funeral sermons
were preached also is Worksop, Ifaikham•Ctintor, and

FROM Ltre.—Takeo town ease. In a large, old.f.ehimied,
Out growing Lowe, there seem. to be no such thing as a
echoed al.peopiiete to the wants of the small shopkeepiog
and superior artisan class. . . . Their houses are tot
well kept ; the rooms are untidy and not even clean ; the
ways are unpunctual ; the meals are badly cooked ; the
clothes are badly got op ; and if there is a servant, there is
endless turmoil with her. The mistress says the maid
doe, sot do her work ; the maid finds the mistress
on-
re►.onahle and harsh; and the master and the children
feel that both the charges are tine. There has been so
much erring out, all over the country, for something
which shall be to this order of society what our
regulated and assisted schools are to the labour-
ing clam, that many good citizens and sensible
women bestir themselves to see what they can
do among their neighbours. Of these one lady ham an expe-

quality than can be found anywhere else within retch.
