THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The fine weather exercised a beneficial influence
on the Exhibition attendance yesterday, which at
one o'clock had passed that of the previous Monday
to the extent of upwards of 3,000. There is quite
time enough yet fora " nab " and the receipt of a
sufficient sum to clear all expenses.
In the various notices which we have given of
the Precious Metals Court and its contents we
have hitherto omitted mention of the beau-
tiful church plate exhibited by Mr. Keith,
the only manufacturer of pure medieval
patterue, we believe, in England. Mr. Keith exhi-
bits a centre chalice, designed by. Mr. Butterfield,
for All Sainte Church, Margaret-street, Cavendish-
square, and ornamented in the most elaborate
manner with diamonds and carbuncles. The base
is repouiss4e with sacred subjects, and the whole is a
very admirable specimen of the peculiar branch of
art to which it belongs. There are also in the case
several other chalices by different designers, includ-
ing one by Mr. Keith himself, exhibited to show the
method pursued by him to suit presentation jewels ;
a flagon, and several other articles, all of Mr. Keith's
own workmanship, and executed mainly from the de-
signs of Mr. Butterfield, the great reviver of medi-
eval design in church plate. Mr. Keith has
received the prize medal, and also the two prizes
offered by the Goldsmiths' Company. His collec-
tion to very curious and beautiful, and will be of
great interest to all concerned in the internal deco-
ration of places of worship.
