THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Considerable progress was made yesterday in
clearing the foreign department, which has, since the clos-
ing, been so much behind the British in the work of pack-
iug up. Ileum: 1, finally packed up and the commissioner
gone, nod 'tussle has made her first actual shipment. The
.tunisians have sold about 9001. worth of their bilk and
woollen goods—such as robes and slippers—the articles
being bought prineiptay as curiosities. Monti, the
celebrated Italian sculptor, has found purchasers for his
" veiled figure," and " Eve," at fair prices ; the former it is
said has become the property of the fluke of In
the American territory some " hitch " bus occurred between
the commissioners and the exhibitors, which will probably
cause a little delay in their clearing out. The former make
claims for expenses which the latter resist, being, as they
state, under the impression that all such expenses had been
guaranteed by their own government. it meetitig of
American exhibitors is talked uf, and much dissatisfaction
is expressed at the proceedings of the coninsisAmers. lu
the British nave some vs my I.irge pieces of machinery wrru
got out at the western entrance. The executive committee
are daily besieged with applications fur admission front
persons who state that they have come from abroad to see
the exhibition, but have been detained by weather or other
accidental causes.
