Tet attracted the attention of the working man.
he " artistic" department, as it is called, has many
votaries. There are numerous drawings, paintings
in water-colours, and still more ambitious attempts
in oil. One or two plaster busts have considerable
merit, and there is really au admirable collection of
models in terracotta. A good deal of freedom
of baud is exhibited in more than one wood
carving, and one set of inlaid tables is so beautiful
as to have called forth the warm mike= of the
Bishop of Winchester. The mechanical depart-
ment has not nearly eo many votaries as the artistic
but nevertheless it includes several highly finished
working models, lots of birdtagas, and quite an
assortment of velocipedes and accelerators. In the
general department may be literally found "every-
thing from a needle to an anchor," but still with
the majority of articles, more of the ornamental
than ties useful. Oue article, the work of "Lucy
Sparrow, an invalid," in this clam, deserves espe-
cial mention. It is a bouquet of flowers in needle-
work, put together by the poor invalid from clip-
pings of cloth, and it would be impossible to
imagine anything more ingenious, or more delicately
true to nature. The whole exhibition numbers
640 articles of various kinds, and is considered to
be in many things a decided advance upon its pre-
decessor.
It was expected that Earl Granville and Mr.
Gladstone would have assisted at the opening
ceremonial, but apologies were made for their ab-
sence in consequence of which the Lord Bishop of
Winchester delivered a most impressive and prac
tical inaugural address, which was most attentivel3
listened to and loudly applauded by the assemblage.
His lordship remarked on the progress which civili-
zation had made especially in this country, within
the memory of every man, and in no point
was the change so conspicuous as in the al-
tered positions occupied by working men and
their employers towards each other. Formerly
each looked on the other as men at
a distance, but now the most intimate relations pre-
vailed, and the employers provided in the moat
liberal way for tke indulgence of their men. The
right rev. prelate then glanced approvingly at the
various branches of the exhibition, and concluded
by warmly exhorting the working men to persevere,
each until he had obtained perfection in the path
which he had chalked out for himself. Other ad-
dresses were delivered, and one or two hymns were
impressively sung, and the whole of the proceedings
terminated shortly after four o'clock. Amongst the
platform visitors we observed the Hon. W. Cowper,
the Hon. A. Kinnaird, and many local notabilities.

recent annuals the Railway, Banking, Mining, /son,

a ode held at the mug yesterday by Mesas. Letfehikl and
Chains, two estates in the faked of St. Vieeset were dis-
posed of by auction—namely, the Escape Estate, consisting
of AtO acres of lead in the pariah of St. George. and the

THE SNOWSTORM AND THE ScOTCH RAILWAYS.—
The officials in the General Post-office, alms, no doubt,
with the public. have been very much itoosivemeneed by
the non-arrival of several of the mail bags, consequent on
the am wieg-up of the railways. The Peebles line was
covered with snow to the depth of six or seven feet, and all
communication by that route has been stopped for the last
two days. On Tuesday morning about 300 labourers were
despatched to &bank, and set to work to cut through the
drift. but the work was so arduous and difficult that at
night they had only reached P,nicnik. It is fully en-
however, that the line will be open for traffic on
Weledteday. Meanwhile the mails from thatist
district are
being sent by the Caledooian Railway, Vic Biggar.
The Hawick line has also been blocked, but was cleared for
traffic last night. The only train arriving from the south
by that rout. was the afternoon train from Oarlide, which
reached Edinburgh nearly three hours overdue. The male
for the Hawick district were twice returned from the rail-
way station to the General Poet-office yesterday, but were
ultimately despatched about six o'clock last night. No
mails have been received from farther north than Blair-
Athol'', on the Highland line, data Saturday, sodaJ,
we understand from a telegram received Let night that
the mining bags are at Dalwhinnie. The northern
stoppage does not appear to have affected the
Aberdeen mail ; but as the mails from Forres, Elgin,
Im., might have come on by Aberdeen, as they did before
the Highland Company's contract with the Postoffice, it is
probable that the Great North of Scotland and Inverness
and Aberdeen Junction lines are elm closed. Efforts an
being made to bring on the north mails either by rail or
road. A correspoodent write' :—“The fall of mow in the
north has so blocked up the " Highland-mad " that so train
from Inverness has reached Perth firm Saturday night.
