THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The promise of Monday's attendance was very
well sustained yesterday, when, in consequence of
the fineness of the weather, the company kept
pouring steadily in until a late hour in the
day. Many of the company came in vans,
and there were many whose provincial bloom
indicated that they were excursionists. Indeed,
any one who studies the appearance of town must
be convinced that at this particular season the
Exhibition depends almost entirely on the pro-
vinces. There is now plenty of room in
Piccadilly, and the Park is a desert. On passing
it yesterday at 3p.m., we saw the famous line in
" Rejected Addresses" literally realised, for " A
single horseman rode down Rotten Row." Our
influx of 60,000 a day must, therefore, come up
from the country, and the flow will most probably
go on increasing until the end.
As the Exhibition season is about to close, the tes-
timonial season shows symptoms of setting in. We
heard rumours yesterday of testimonials on the
tapir to various parties, but until the facts come
before us in a mbre tangible shape we forbear men-
tioning names.

beth, National School, 120, expenses paid by

DEATH OF AN AGED MDSSIOWARY.—The oldest
missionary in Ceylon—probably the oldest protestant mis-
sii. at work in connexion with any denomination—has
ceased
from his labours. At twenty minutes to two p.m.
on Saturday, the Rev. D. J. Gogerly paused away. having
s r.3:1, just completed the 70th year of his and the 44th of his
almost uninterrupted residence in lon ; for, beyond
• short visit to Mauritius, Mr. rly bad never
quitted Ceylon from the time he land in the colony 44
years ago. As a Christian missionary, ma linguist and trans-
lator, as an Oriental and especially • Buddhist scholar, the
deceased gentleman occupied a high position, and his loss
will be felt not by the ti, ealeyan church alone, but by all
the evangelical churches, and wherever piety, talent, and
learning are appreciated. The remains of the deceased mis-
sionary were interred yesterday morning in the Pigtail
burial ground in the presence of a large and sorrowing as-
serublage of Christians of all denomination.—Colombo Ob-
