LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1851.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Yesterday a large number of visitors were present
in the Glass Palace, and it is said that upwards of
8,000 of them belonged to the class who paid five
shillings each at the gates for their admission. An
equal number of visitors, it is stated, paid in the
same way on the previous day, and if these asser-
tions are to be relied upon, the two first days of
what may be called the " public exhibition " (as dis-
tinguished from the admission of the wealthier sea-
son-ticket holders) must have produced about 4,0001.,
a noble addition to the funds, and one that betokens
a speedy liquidation of any liabilities that may have
been hanging over the Crystal Palace. It is no less
satisfactory to know that every visitor seems grati-
fied to his heart's content by an inspection of the
' wonderful collection which the industry of the world
has called together in Hyde l'ark.

MOTION TU STRIKE AN ATTORNIT OTT THE ROLL.

Mr. Prentice moved for • rule calling upon an attorney
whose name did not app oar, to show cause why he should
nut he .truck off the roll. An indictment had been pre-
ferred against him for forgery, but he was acquitted. He
was then tried for perjury committed in proceedings in the
Court of Chancery, and was convicted. Subsequently he
had moved for a new trial, end in arrest of judgment on
the ground that there was a technic.d error in the indict-
ment, and upon this objection only the court arrested the
judgment.—Bole granted.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE MURDERED POLICE-
MAN.—Last evening, at six o'clock, Mr. Payne held an in-
guest at Guy's Hospital on the body of Henry James Chap-
hn, the police constable 77 L, who died at that institution
from the effects of injuries inflicted on him in the most
savage manner on the morning of the preceding day in
Vauxhall-walk. The first witness called was police con-
stable Edmund Newton, 219 L, and his testimony being •
mere repetition of the evidence given by him on the day
before, and which has already appeared in the Ea-
eress,it is unnecessary to repeat it. The next :witness,
Thomas Streams, was also examined at some length,
and his evidence was en a great measure a repetition
of what he had stated before Mr. Elliott, at Lambeth Police
Court. The witness produced a large handkerchief full of
what are called potter's clinkers, and pointed out the
larger one of the lot, and which weighed nearly albs., as the
one with which the deceased was first struck in the mouth
by the man Hickey (at present in custody.) He also
pointed out a second clinker that was deeply-stained
with blood, which was the missile with and the fatal frac-
ture of the skull of the deceased had been inflicted, and the
coroner and jurors examined it with some care. The wit-
nese went on to say that he had • sharp pointed clinker which
had a portion of the hair of the deceased adhreing to it,
but he had forgotten to bring it with him. The coroner
remarked that this would form an important feature
in the evidence, and desired the witness to
take care of the missile, and produce it at
the future investigation. The witness said that It
was his extreme care of the stone the bait lima
come off until viewed by the jury that cam& him to Slept
it. He picked up the clinkers pregame& agar the spot
where deceased fell The witness Ire peolemei the het
worn by the deceased when attacked. awl apes its being

The coroner, having previously stated that it would be
impossible to conclude the hearing of the evidence at that
sitting, adjourned the inquest %taut Monday next.

The share market is fiat to-day, with little doing,
but prices are generally supported, though in some
instances a decline has "been submitted to. The un-
seasonable weather has checked the development of
the traffic, to which so many parties have
confidently looked forward as the basis of a general
upward movement; and the announcement of a con-
siderable fulling off in the receipts of the Midland
Railway for the last week, as compared with the
corresponding period of last year, has imparted
a very dull feeling to the market generally,
besides depressing the price of that par-
ticular stock. More genial weather is eagerly
looked for by the speculators for a rise, as the in-
creaoed movement arising out of the opening of the
Exhibition will then become sensibly apparent. Ca-
ledonians arc an exception to the general state of the
I market to-day, having been transacted at higher
rates.
