THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The beautiful autumnal weather of yesterday at-
tracted an enormous crowd to the Great Exhibition. The
throng of vehicles was immense, and it was observed that
the streams of pedestri ins were more dense and continuous
than on any previous occasion. The inference drawn from
this latter circumstance is, that the people of London itself
ore now beginning to arouse themsehes, and to supply. the

_
vacuum created by the exhaustion of the provinces. There
were several schools, but none of any great importance, and
a detachment of the men employed in the Royal Surrey
Zoological Gardens, the lessee, Mr. Tyler, having treated
all round with a day's pay, a holiday, and refresh-
ment money, to enable them to see comfort ably
the wouthrs of the Crystal Palace. Of course the
attentions required by the tierce inhabitants of those
gardens would not permit the absence of all the rvolist-
ants on the same day, and, accordingly, they were sent in
. .

_
detachments, one of which helped to swell the company yes-
terday. A remarkable instance of the intense curiosity
which the Great Exhibition has excited in the minds of
even the poorest of the people was afforded in the case of a
poor fishwoman, named Mary Calinack front the parish of
Paul, in Cornwall, who, although in the 84th year of her
age, walked the whole distance (350 miles) for the purpose
of visiting the Crystal Palace. She was among the crowd
yesterday, and went about with au avidity that
gave little indication of weariness or old age. It
is to be hoped that, by means of a trilling subscription, she
may be enabled to return home by rail and coach. 'I he
police have as yet received no intimation front
head-quarters as to a holiday and a treat to the
Exhibition. Even the men stationed in the Palace
itself are prohibited going beyond their own immediate
district, and unless seine arrangement be speedily made,
they are likely to enjoy the distinguished honour of being
the only large organised body of her Majesty's subjects who
have not eujoyel the feast of instruction and amusement
pre pared for the whole people by the l'rince Consort. We
observed a greater and earlier crowd than usual yesterday
in the galleries, immediately above the transept, and cor-
tainly this prospect was sufficiently attractive to entice the
visitors. The sun shone mot brilliantly on the crystal
fountain below and the whole of the surrount.ing space,
and this being tilled with a perpetually moving crowd, had
an effect peculiarly varied and pleasing. Many of the visitors
thus attracted to the gallery, stopped to inspect a very
beautiful piece of needlework contributed by an Irish lady,
Mrs. Ward, of Coleraine, and which, as if to make it more
peculiarly national, is worked on Irish linen, and represents
a well-known Irish subject, the Giant's Causeway. The
locality is easily recognised by any one who has ever visited
that part of Ireland. The machinery room was, as is
always the case on shilling days, densely crowded ; all the
machines were at work, and the people watched their
intricate operations with every appearance of attention and
enjoyment. The police numbers were J 7,314, and the
receipts 2,8631. 6s.

The following shows the temperature yesterday, a•
recorded by Mr. Bennett's thermometer, being the mean
result of 100 readings ; —lO o'clock, 5.9 ; 12 o'clock, 63;
2 o'clock, 69 ; 4 o'clock, 70 ; 6 o'clock, 66. Mean tempe-
rature, 65.2.

We understand that the Sardinian authorities at
the Exhibition have addressed the following letter to the
president and members of the executive committee
Gentlemen,—The undersigned, in the capacity of mem-
bers of the commission formed in London for the direction
of the workmen sent from Piedmont on a visit to the Ex-
hibition, hasten to offer to the executive committee their
most sincere thanks for the kindness shown them by the
executive committee. With the remembrance of their
hospitable reception, they take back information of utility
to their country, and thus contribute to the fulfilment of
the great object of the Universal Exhibition. We have the
honour to be, with the highest consideration, your very
humble and obedient servants, (Signed) LILVCDSCA, LCIUI
Tount,u, A. EnNorr."

REPRESENTATION OF TUE TOWER lIAMLETS.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. George Thompson, M.P., met a
very large number of his constituents in Bishop Banner's
Fields, for the purpose of exphining his protracted absence
in America, and of declaring his views ou the leading poli-
tical questions of the day. At the conclusion of the hon.
gentleman's address Is resolution was passed pledging the
meeting to support him at the next election.
SUICIDE IN BATTERSEA FIELDS.—YCSteDIny after-
noon, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a person
who was crossing Battersea-fields, observing the body of a
man lying, as if asleep, he called to the recumbent person,
and warned him that his hat would be stolen, but, not re-
ceiving any answer, he approached, and, upon turning over
the body, found it quite inanimate, and near it a peol of
blood. the unhappy man had laid the muzzle of a pistol,
which was found near him, to his heart, and shot himself.
Death must have been instantaneous. Upon his person
were found half-a-croiln and some coppers, and a letter
without a signature or direction. Deceased is apparent)
between 20 and 30 years of age. An inquest wbe held
on the body to-morrow.
FATAL STABBING CASE AT MANCIIESTER.-41
man named John Gleeson was brought up yesterday, at
the Manchester Borough Court, charged with killing
another man, named Joseph Younghusband, by stabbing
him with a knife. A woman who keeps a public-house
in Stratford New-road, Hulme, said the prisoner and de-
ceased were drinking at her house on Saturday evening
last, when they had a dispute as to whether Younghus-
band or another man in their company had been furthest
from land. At last the prisoner got up and struck deceased.
This was the first blow struck. The prisoner wanted to bet a
sovereign that the other man had been further from land than
Younghusband had, but witness picked up the money, and
would not allow them to bet. The men then went out and
commenced fighting. She saw the prisoner throw a stone
at a man named Keats when he got outside. Witness did
not see anything that took place further, but about a
quarter of an hour afterwards she was told that Young-
husband had been stabbed. The prisoner was sober, but
deceased was drunk.—Wm. Kean, a joiner, said he was
present when the dispute took place. When they went
outside the public-house to fight, witness told the prisoner
he had better fight him than Younghusband, who was a
little man. The prisoner then struck witness on the
head with a stone. The prisoner then ran into a butcher's
shop which was close by, and witness beard him say, "
be that b—'s death." Ile could not see what took place
further, except that the police came up and took the pri-
soner away. A man named John Holding said he saw the
prisoner run into the butcher's shop, followed by 20 or 3()
people. Witness went to see what was the matter, and saw
the prisoner on the floor, under the chopping block. De-
ceased was pulling him by the hair, and the lust witness was
licking him. Witness then saw the prisoner make a thrust
with a pocket-knife at deceased, who was leaning over
him. Kean, on being interrogated by the magistrate,
denied that he had kicked the prisoner, as described by the
last witness. Witness was not quite sober at the time. A
person named Moses Brown said he was standing in the',
butcher's shop when the prisoner run into it. lie had
an open knife in his hand. lie was followed by a
crowd of people, and Younghusband (the deceased) tried
to take the knife from him. He afterwards saw the pri-
soner on the door against the chopping-block and Kean was
kicking him. Witness saw the prisoner at the same time
strike twice at the deceased with his knife. Deceased was
sitting on the end of the block, and fell off it when the pri-
soner stabbed him. Witness then called in a policeman,
who took the prisoner into custody. The constable who
apprehended the prisoner said he found the deceased lying
on the floor in the butcher's shop, and an open knife was
1) ing besida him. Dr. James Wilkinson said the deceased
was brought to his surgery at nine o'clock on Saturday
evening. Life was then nearly extinct, but not quite. lie
found u wound, about an inch long, penetrating the left
side of the heart. Ho bad not the slightest doubt that
il.ath was caused by this wound. The prisoner was com-
mitt.d for trial at the next Liverpool Assizes.
CAB AND OMNIBUS MANAGEMENT.—Sotne " Pro-
positions tor an improved System of Management for Hack-
ney and Metropolitan Stage Carriages" have been circu-
lated recently, and will aid, we hope, in leading publioat-
tention to a subject that greatly requires fresh le lotion.
Considering the enormous number of the* vehicles, the
extent to which they are now used, and the amount of v,w•
noyance and vexation that is experienced on all bands, it is
surprising that people should remain quiet under the in-
fliction. By association, the omnibus

LONDON.—Mr. T. Y. M'Christie, the barrister
appointed to revise the lists of voters for the City, opened
his court yesterday at the Guildhall. The following
summary exhibits not only the number of new claims and
objections, but also the present state of the register, with i
the number of new names appearing in this year's lists, and'
the numbers omitted, from deaths, removals, or other'
causes. It will be noticed that the preponderance of claims
and objections from both patties arises on the householders'
lists. The disfranchising propensity of the torics is marked
by the fact, that while their objections exceed those of the
liberals by 112, they have only made eleven claims in all :

In the Cordwainers' list, Mr. T. Clark, distiller, of Albany-

house at Balham-hill, and taken one at Windsor, but that
he stillyetainApossesion of the house in Albany-street, near
the distillery, where lie dined and slept ocoasionally. The
barrister held this a sufficient reside:lee. Mr. Clark applied
for costs as against the objector, on the ground that due in-
quiry as to his residence had not been made, and the
court awarded him 20..

M.titYLEnnNF..—J. F. 'McQueen, Esq., the barrister
appointed to revise the list of voters for the borough of
Marylebunc, held his court yesterday, at the Court-house,
Marylebone-lane. In the AU Soule district, Mr. John
Michel&ld, of 46, Foley-street, claimed to be on the regis-
ter. He had sent in his claim before the irith of August to
Mr. Rutland, the collector of the district in which he re-
sided, but the collector had failed to transmit the claim
to the overseer. —Mr. Unett, one of the collectors of poors
rates, said, under the local acts of Marylcbone, the colli srora
were the acting overseers—The Barrister said if such was
the fact, then the claimant in his opinion was safe. The act
of parliament clearly laid it down that a claim must he
sent in to the overseers, and that if the collectors under
tho local act were overseers, then he thought he would be
justified in placing his name on the list.-1 he claimant, in
answer to a question, said he had been on the register
twelve years.—Mr. WI/Dwell (a ratepayer) objected to the
assumption on the part of the collectors, that they were
overseers of the poor. He denied that there was anything
in the local act of parliament which constituted them
overseers any more than individual ratepayers.—Mr.
l'onchaud (a coilecter) said that in small cuuntry pa-
rishes the overseers themselves collected the rites, but in
a great parish like that of Marylehme such a course would
be impracticable. The e illectore, therefore, made out the
lists of voters, and performed other offices such as were
usually delegated to ov.rseers.—Mr. M'llowall still con-
tended that the vestry of St. Marylebune were in fact the
overseers; they struck the rates, and not the collectors.—
The Barrister observed that it Was not within his pro-
vince to decide a question of who were the proper persons
to make a rate. What he wanted to ascertain was, whether
the collectors were really the acting overseers. After some
further discussion of the same point, the Barrister said, ou
considering the circumstances of the case, however much
he must deplore the hardship upon the claimant, it had
originated in a slovenly practice on the part of the collec-
tors in assuming to be overseers. In his opinion the col-
lectors had done wrong; let every man stick to his own
business for the future. Inasmuch i.s the claim had not
I reached the bunt fide overseers, it must be disallowed.—
Claim disallowed accordingly.

HERTFORDSIIIRE.—The court for the St. Albans
district was held on Friday. The parish of Harpenden
was called on, but the overseer of that parish was not
present, nor did he come during the day, the barrister there-
tore ordered him to be summoned to attend at lloddesilun,
on Wednesday, a distance of mere than twenty mike. In
the parish of St. Stephen, Mr. Bontems had objected to
eleven tory claims for rent-charges, and, no attempt being
made to defend them, they were all struck out. The fol-
owing is the result of the day's revision :—Liberal gain
claims; 2t); objections, 38 ; total, 07. Tory gain claims,
417; objections, 9; total, 50. Liberal gain to this time,
237. ory ditto, 224.

WEST-H.lni NG.—Messra. Boothby and Temple, two
of the barristers appointed to revise the lists of voters for
the present year, held their court for the Halifax polling
district at the Town-hall, in Halifax, on Thursday last, but
as neither of the political agents had made any objections,
the lists were speedily revised, the barristers having merely
to go through the objections made by the respective over-
seers and make the necessary alto ations where parties had
changed their residence. The whole bw.iness did not occupy
a couple of hours, after which the barristers proceeded to
Ilehden-bridge to revise the lists for that district. We be-
lieve there will be a slight gain by the radical party, owing
to the apathy of the conservatives in not making their
claims.-11alifax Guardian.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT NEAR A RAILWAY.—On
Saturday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, an accident
terminated the life of Mr. John Edward Collins, residing in
Francis-street, Westminster, in the following manner
The deceased gentleman was driving a gig and pony in
Plough-lane, Battersea, which leads down ores the rails
of the South-Western Railway, and he there found the
gates closed, as a train was expected to pass. lie stopped
and got out of his gig, leaving his grandson (a little boy)
sitting upon the seat. The signal man cautioned the de-
ceased to look after the pony, as the train would probably
frighten the animal as it passed. The unfortunate
gentleman was in the act of stepping into the gig when
the train passed, the noise of which startled the pony, and
it instantly turned round, and he was thrown violently
upon his head. On being raised from the ground he was
found to be quite insensible, and he soon afterwards ex-
pired. The body of the deceased was removed to the
union workhouse in Battersea to await the in_quest.
