THE GREAT EXIIIBITION.

The fineness of the day on Saturday, and the
anticipation of the presence of her Majesty, caused the
Crystal Palace to till better than on any day since the open-
ing. Her Majesty's visit, however, was a private one, the
public not being admitted until after her departure. The
Royal party arrived ut about half-past ten o'clock, and her
Majesty, after a hasty glance at some of the foreign novel-
ties, proceeded to the British department, and examined
the varied products with much care and attention. No-
thing could be more pertinent thou her inquiries, and,
indeed, her general knowledge in the various de-
partments of British manufacture was a matter of
gratified surprise to the exhibitors. Another gene-
ral topic of convenmion among them was her Majesty's
acquaintance with the continental languages. In her pro-
gress through the foreign department she might be heard at
ate moment speaking French, then Italian, and afterwards
in German with the idiomatic cornetneet seldom found ex-
cept amongst an educated native of the several countries.
A considerable crowd outside greeted her Majesty on her
departure, and a similar assemblage awaited her return at
the gates of Buckiuglum Palace. The Duke of Wellington
was also a visitor, and was an ohiect of considerable cu-
riosity to many of t►e visitors. The police cotaputed the
numbers at 40,000 t and, judging by the rule of proportion,
have funned wonderful auticipations of the influx when the
ahilhag admission csaumeuees, It is stated that it is in-
tended to limit the daily admiwions to 60,000.

The Exhibition was airain favoured this morn-
iug with s royal visit. 11cr Majesty set a good ex-
ample by beginning the week with a walk through tho
l'ulace of Industry—an example, nu doubt, intended to
draw visitors, and it is evidently elfeetive, as every day the
amount of receipts is larger. Thy royal party included
her Majesty, the Prince Albert, 11.1t.11. the Prince of
Prumata, 11.11.11. the Princess of Prussia, and lI.RII.
the Prince Frederick of Pria.aia, attended by Colonel
Grey and tho gentlemen and ladies of the Prus-
sian suite. As Prince Ailwrt had appointed to-day to
preside at the opening of the Museum of Hconoinic Geo-
logy, the (seen arrived early, but remained until eleven
o'clock, during which she inspected several departments in
the north side of the building. lie, Majesty was very re-
spectfully received, and, although her visit was limited, she,
took great interest in the objects of her examination.

At eleven o'clock, the Duke of Wellington arrived attae
Exhibition. llis Orace rode up attended by a groons,,'und
WWI in good health and spirits.

The morning was gloomy, but visitors arrivod. at the
Exhibition early, and from the crowd of ?cop'► there is
every prospect of a good day's receipts._
