Whit-Monday is usually a great day at the email Paws.
In 1857, 1858, and 1859 the numbers ranged between 26,000
mad 30,000. In 1860 they were 31,110. lAA year they
were 33,598. It had been anticipated that the International
Eshilition would have abstracted considerably from the
visitors yesterday, but such was not the ease, u a hens
number attended than on any previous Whit-Monday. The
return shows that 36,879 peruse were must, of whom
34,833 paid for admission. This is regarded as s great mo-
ms, and tends to prove that the anticipations formed of the
large increase of visitors to the Palace when the emir-
skeletal began to arrive in Loudon for the Exhibition were
founded on good data. A variety of amusements, under the
direction of Mr. Nelson Lee, were provided in the grounds,
which are now in the most beautiful condition. At four
o'clock M. Blondin made an assist on the high rope, the
fountains playing at the same tau,
The heavy rain-returns shat took plus at mural inter-

tered by fellows' orders or under venial dramatists's. The

The doors of the Senate-house were opened shortly before
half-put one o'clock. The platform and its neighbourhood
were appropriated to the Chancellor, his friends, the various
Univeriuty dignitaries, sod the illustrious man whom upon
this occasion the University delighted to honour. The raised
seats on each side of the floor were, with the °reboot:a at the
east end, occupied by ladies, the door end one gallery by
members of the Senate and their friends ; and the other by
undergradustes, the force of the last-named, however, being
somewhat reduced by many having " gone down," and
the draft of 2W or more of the gallant mem-
bers of the Cambridge University Rid! Conn to

take part in the Hide-park denioustration of to-
day. At half-past two the Chancellor entered, at-
tired in his state robes, and, attended by the usual formali-
ties, took his sent on • raised dais on the platform. At
this moment the Senate-Lonna presented an appearance se
though it were the scene of • combined triumph by the
goddesses of learning, beauty, and fashion. So soon ea the
Chancellor was seated the intended recipient. of honorary
degrees were ranged by the sJuor esquire bedell in aca-
demical order upon the platform, and proceeded to sign the
register, amid acclamations from the uudergraduates se
each was recognised. This matter concluded, and • coo-
uegiitiou constituted, the reversed the Senior Proctor (Mr.
Ema,y) read the graces authorising the conference of the
degrees, which were declared affirmed in due course.
Then the Public Orator (Mr. Clark, of Trinity) proceeded
with the most dignified mien, • perfectly modulated voles,
and most emerald end appropriate maim, to descant in
• Latin speech upon the auspicious occasion of the congre-
gation, more especially as regarded the noble and (natio.
guished men he should have to present to the Chancellor.
So soon as the Public Orator had (*Deluded his general
address, be, on the parties being presented to him by the
esquire bedell in the order below mentioned, dwelt upon
the laudatory characteristics of each in most happy vein,
calling down rounds of applause, and introduced the candi-
date for the degree to the Chancellor. The degree was then
confirmed by the Chancellor in the usual form. If the ap-
ples,e of the Senate is to be taken as • criterion, then of all
the distinguished men presented the venerable Lord
Brougham was the favourite. Lord Lytielton and Lord
Stanley follow next, then Sir Hugh Onirne, Sir William
Armstrong, the Astronomer Royal, and Professor Faraday.
The following is a formal list of thedegrete :

H. Chevalier; Charles James Selwyn, Q.C., IL P. i George
Biddell Airy, Astronomer Royal ; Professor Michael Fara-
day ; Henry Wentworth Acland, Regius Professor of
Physic', Oxon ; William Fairbairn.
Lord Brougham, on being singled out for presentation,
was received with cheers that literally shook the building
as the Chancellor descended one of the steps of his seat
of honour to take the hand of the Nestor before him.
All the other recipients of degrees,. however, were accorded
a shout of welcome. It had been cotifiad that the
degree of doctor of music would be conferred upon Herr
Meyerbeer, but that eminent musician was not
present, to the disappointment of all who were. The cere-
monial concluded at ball-past three, and the Chancellor,
having declared the esegregaties dissolved, retired.

SPAIN.

The Oerrespondencia de Espana of to-day states
that Spain will act in America u she has sated at
Naples and Turin. Jealous of her own inde-
pendence, she will respect that of others. She will
recognise accomplished faces if Europe should.
sanction them, but will never be reconciled to ac-
tions hurtful to her dignity and interests.
