THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The attendance yesterday was somewhere about
a good average shilling company, nothing more ;
but exhibiting a larger proportion of country and
foreign faces. A fine body of sailors from the royal
yacht came about midday, having been franked in
everything by some liberal benefactor whose name
they were forbidden to mention. It was remarked
that this dashing naval brigade devoted a great deal
of time to the examination of the agricultural im-
plements, patronising Messrs. Ransome's stand,
and examining the ploughs, and harrows, and clod
crushers with much gravity and seeming acumen.
Another instance has turned up of the eccentrici-
ties of the jurors which the commissioners will be
obliged to mend. It will be remembered that in
the music court one of the most attractive objects
was the golden flute exhibited by Messrs.
Rudall and Carte, and so perfect was this instru-
ment considered in every particular that the jurors in
the class made it the standard by which to judge every
other fiuteexhihited. In thedistribution of the medals
the standard was forgotten, and now whilst several
rs exhibito have prize medals for producing flutes
like Messrs. Carte's, the specimen exhibited by
that firm has not even honourable menton. A
special meeting of the jury has, we believe, beeu
summoned to repair the mischief. Amongst the
visitors yesterday were a number of Italian priests,
and a picturesque group of American Indians. The
followinti is a list of the schools, institutions, and
other puolic establishments which came in bodies :
St. John's School, %Vattern-green, expenses paid
by Mr. Freeman and Mr. Jones . • 88 from St.
John's School, Chatham, by subscription ; 35
from Portuguese Jews' Infant School, by com-
mittee ; 12 from Bevis--marks Jews' Orphan School,
by committee; 48 from St. Michael, Bromley, Mr.
G. H. Currie • 74 from Deal School, Kent, Rev.
T. 0. Blacked; 45 from Aston School, Baroness de
Rothschild ; 25 from Royal Patriotic Fund Boys'
School, by committee ; and 20 from Mr. Barclay's
school Walthamstow.

The highest temperature yesterday, taken by
Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers, was at
2.30 p.m.:—ln the nave, 62.3; in the galleries,
66.6—a considerable decrease in the temperature of
the building since Tuesday. The difference in the
temperature between the galleries and the nave
may be attributed to the windows on the north
side of the nave being closed.

terday, compared with the corresponding day in
