THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
The generality of sights which have been long
anticipated, disappoint upon actual inspection, or even if
admired and run alter for a week or so, soon fall off in
attraction according to the old saying of " a nine days'
wonder." Not so with the Great Exhibition. Every
fresh visit only increases the gratification, every new day
brings its increasing shoals of visitors of all ranks, races, and
physiognomies. Yesterday, notwithstanding the stormy
weather, the interior was a perfect anthill in populousness,
acomplete Babel in the variety of tongues. There need to be
no more complaints of congestion about particular
localities. Galleries, side eourts, and even the remotest
nooks are now filled to overflowing, and the articles of
utility are as minutely inspected as the Lahore jewels or the
Koh-i-noor. The long arcade in which the French me-
rinoes are displayed was yesterday thronged with fair
visitors, who were incessant in their inquiries of their male
companions as to " which colour would become them best,"
but we are sorry to add that these questions seemed to be
generally received in rather an abstracted manner by the
parties to whom they were addressed. Even the American
wilderness is becoming populous, especially after luncheon
time, the visitors apparently wishing to make up for the
very slender fare they get at the refreshment tables by look-
ing into the well-filled casks of beef and pork which
form so important a feature in the Transatlantic
contributions. By the way, the quantity and quality of
the viands dispensed at the different bars are the
subjects of frequent complaint, but any observation is met
with the reply that Mr. So-and-So has paid 4,000/. for the
contract, and must be remunerated. The evil becomes more
serious as the company becomes more pervaded with the
democratic element, and is only to be met by a general in-
vasion of previously prepared sandwiches.

REPRESENTATION OF BATlL—Yesterday Captain
Scobell attended a public meeting at the Guildhall, called
far the pumas of giving an expintisa of his political prin-
ciples. George Norman, Esq., presided, and the platform
was crowded by the leading liberals se the city and neigh-
bourhood. Captain Scobell was then istroduced by the

in parliament. F. T. Allen, Esq., seconded the motion,
which was carried unanimously, and, several other gentle-
men having spoken in favour of Capt. Scobell's candidature,
the meeting separated.
REPRESENTATION OF EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.—
An active mamas is proceeding throughout the eastern
division for signateres to a ?equalities to Mr. E. Clive to
come forward in 'don to Mr. J. H. H. Foley at the
next election. and land-agents, 'Menem clergy-
men, and " upper erase" farmers are bestirringthemselves
to procure agnomen to the requisition. The free-traders,
we conceive, will not altogether give up the esatern division
without a contest. We have heard a great deal lately about
protectionist reaction. We should think, if the events at
Boston bad failed to dentoastrate to the absurdity of this
allegation, that the mon recent manifestations of popular
indignation with which the doctrines of the protectionists
an regarded, displayed in the Isle of Wight and at Tara-
worth, where they made the place too hot to hold them,
will undeceive them.— Worceottrshire CAnntiok.
