ILLNESS OF MR.. HENDERSON.—An who have wit-
nessed the unceasing exertions of this gentleman during the
progress of the works in Hyde-park will be sincerely sorry
to learn that, in consequence of his unremitting labours, his
constitution has received a severe shock, and that he now
lies at his residence at Smethnick, near Birmingham, in a
most precarious state. Our correspondent at Birming-
ham, writing last evening, says :" On inquiry to-day I find
that Mr. Henderson is most seriously ill. I have it on the
best authority, that Mr. Henderson, to the great regret of
all his friends is most dangerously ill ; he was a shade
better to 'but there was still great danger."

COMPANT.—Yesterday there was t meeting before his I
Honour. Master Richards, relative to the claim against the ,
estate of 3,4001. advanced to this company. Mr. Daniel, who I
appeared for Mr. Wryghte, the official manager, contended ,
at considerable length that the directors had no power to
borrow under the deed; and that if they had, there was in
reality no company within the meaning of the act of parlia-
ment to be sued for the amount ; and that the money wu ad-
vanced, not to a company but to individuals, from whom,
according to the recent decision of Lord Cranworth, it must
be recovered as a debt. Mr. Yetta, who appeared for seve-
ral contributories, followed in the same view with Mr.
DISK matendbeg that the claim could not be allowed until
on mama! led been taken from the directors of the 28,0001.

ALLOTMENTS OF SPACE.

'easing dune who hare put in their claims a day too
late for the fair to tight their way in us Nat they ern, we
proceed to notice a few of the more prominent points to
which in the intere,t of the Exhibition the Executive
Committee wish attention to be particularly direeted. In the
lint place, then, and with reference to the allotments to
foreign nations, it must he borne in mind that these allot-
ment, have been regulated upon a geographical principle,
which excludes altogether any idea of preference, and ought
therefore to allay all jealous or dissatisfaction. Each country
basing its industrial nets collected within a sepa-
rate boarding will be ut out from insidious comparison,
with it, neighbour, and form its own centre of attraction.
It is necessary that this should be thoroughly understood,
as scone eornp!aint, have, we hear, been made by the
agents of foreign .tates, founded, we must believe on an
erroneous impre,-ion of the principles and motives which
have guided the arrangements on the east side of the transept.
Ther can be no wish on the part of the COMMi..iOI3. or of
the Esecutive Comroitt. e, which has not for it, object to
afford eshihitors from abroad, without distinction, every
facility and rowernienee in their power. With respect to
our home contrihuton who have duly complied with the
form, and condition, of entry, there are two kinds of iliffi-
cultic , constantly recurring between them and the Executive
Committee. Those who have applied fur and received cer-
tain amount. of hanging apace are con.tantly applying to
Lt.,• a proportion of horizontal space along with it and
hate ben allotted horizontal vac, wish to have
it all in front, with the knot possible depth. As an exempli-
ficitioo of the find point, we ntny inintiim the case of a
loanufitturin., town, which, basing obtained 900 feet of
for the display of shawl, and ouch-like tnanu-
factuncl good% demands, in addition to that accommodation,
a hr..4th ..t two or three fee t abate the whole length, in
r to ;h.e their goods that slope which sets them off to
the loot advantage.
London, England, 1851-02-08

GOOD NEWS FOR THE EXCLUDED.

The stmt-de for frontage in the allotments of horizontal
span, will lie easily understood. In originates in the
same instinct which makes the traihsman dress his win-
dow. and iounten with his most attractive good., while
tin hack shelve-o of the shop and the wan house behind an-
filled with the more ordinary materials of truffle. Of MON.,
Wert the Esecutive t'ommitter to give way to either elan or
application. their whole calculations as to space, and the
arraugerreents founded on them, would at unee he upset.
/sleibitor• would he at glagvers drawn about the placing of
their respeetive contributions, and harmonious action and
Inuniony of effect would be alike banished from the build-
ing. Another difficulty, which is the ware of much eta-
hums-silo nt and annoyance, is the delay which has taken
plan on the part of some lona committees in sending in the
irout hen of allotments to individuals. These vouchers
ought all to have been returned to the Executive
Committee by the 10th of Ile cember. A month's in-
dulge ore was granted--week after week urgent applica-
tions wen Made upon the subject; yet many of the local
corrimittess, and thow of leindon and Sheffield especially,
delayed. In the mr antime the popularity of the Exhibition
has ls. n lire .itly on the increase. l'eople who did not at
first think of comp ling now come forward, and, in cense-
quenec, the most passing applications are made fur an en-
larged allotment of •IMICe. The Executive Committee have
decided not tss nject these application.; but, of course, their
calculations and arrangements, founded on the vouchers
already sent in, are now completed, and cannot in the mean-
time be installed. When those exhibitors who have taken
inn, by the forelock hare liven properly pros ided for, it
will Is' seen what exnrot of accommodation still remains
',ratan-le. Until then nothing can he done, and applicants
who have been too late must remain in suspense. It is
much to be regretted that local committers, upon whom
nee large si share of the preparations NM devolved, have by
their want of promptitude., at the lust moment almost,
thrown such 14.1.1.111. 011..talts in the way of the Executive
l'onimitto e. In the provincial towns this remissness and
delay might have Men pardoned, but in London it is very
re pre behold, The industrial reputation of the country is
to a large extent in the hand. of the ).cal committees, and,
if we do not come out with credit from the competition to
which we have rhalhoged the whole world, public opinion
will not la stow to visit with its censure those by whom the
disgrace of our failure has been caused.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
The appearance of the share market to-day is
extremely gloomy. Prices opened worse, and a con-
siderable decline is to be noticed in most descriptions,
amounting to 11. in Midlands, 255. in South East-
erns, 15s. in London and North Westerns, 10s.
in Caledonians and Lancashire and Yorkshires,
ss. in Berwieks and York and North Midlands, &c.
The announcement that the London and North

Western Company have not earned 51 per cent.
during the past half-year by 15,0001. has been made
use of by the "bears" to depress the market, and
gloomy anticipations are expressed with reference to
the forthcoming meetings. In the face of unex-
ampled "takes' on nearly all the chief lines, the
market is thus visited by severe depression.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.
There was a report yesterday that the chambers
of commerce of Hanover had petitioned the govern- !
ment under the new king against the execution of
the treaty of the itk Sept., as very disadvantageous
to Hanoverian interests. This report appeared in the
Gazette fur North Germatty,but I am inclined to qutsi-
tion its correctness, for no opposition of this kind was
manifested during the late king's life, and private '
letters received today from Hanover make no men-
tion of the fact, which if true, occurring so suddenly
and immediatel3 • after the king's death, would show
little respect for his memory and would be very
offensive to his stevessor It is likely enough, how- I
ever, that there will be an effort made, both .by the
I protectionists and the party who arc called ultra free-
traders, to set the treaty aside.
The reply of Hanover to the Bund, touching the
inhibiturauni question, is, I learn, meet decided in its
tone. The document begins by declaring that the
government must decline going into the material
part of the alleged grievances, as by doing so it might
furnish a pretext for delay in coming to its decision

PETITIONS PRESENTED.
METROrOLITAN WATltit 111L1..—The Sheriffs of the
City of London appeared at the bar, and presented a peti-
tion from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Coun-
cil of the City of London, against the Metropolitan Water
Bill passing into law.
COAL DUTIES (LONDON AND WESTMINSTER, &c.)
BILL.
On the motion that thisbill be read a third time,
Sir B. HALL expreased a hope that her Majesty's
government would bring in a bill early in the next W1E4014
to reform the corporation of the City of London. At
presto; they levied an annual tax of 1'25,0001., on coats im-
into London. They were a most irresponsible
goan,4l,,,,,thinier,t:nforealgh„huoxiii;cd.,tnhebi:robfloe,
cityat thosif head
of the govm'rnment—ahthm'ugh member for the City of lon-
Lon-
don—would bring ill a bill early next session to reform that
body. (Hear, hcar.)
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
Mr. B. OSBORNE wished to put a question to the
right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Ile understood the right hon. gentleman to state the other
evening that, in the event of the house coming to the deter-
mination to maintain the Crystal Palace, it should be pre-
pared to vote money from the public purse. Some misap-
prehension existed out of doors on the subject, and there-
fore he wished to have some explanation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would repeat what he conceived to be the state of the case.
By an engagement between the commissioners and con-
tractors it was understood that, in the event of the coiumit.
Moneys not giving the contractors notice before the Ist of
December to take clown the building, they were bound to
porehme it fur 70,0001. Whether the commissioners were
at liberty, under the terms of the memorandum read the
other evening, to apply any portion of their surplus
to any such purpose as providing a winter garden
for the people of the metropolis he conceived to he doubtful.
The first question was whether or not they hail the power;
and next, whether they had the inclination to make a pre-
sent to tke public of the Crystal Palace ; and, if not, the
public could only heroine possessors of the building on the
payment of a sum of money, which might he some 70,000/.
la order to put the building in a condition to endure, a con-
siderable outlay wont,' be required ; and an annual outlay
would also be necessary to keep it in repair. (Hear, hear.)
Then there would be an outlay for the construction of a
winter garden, together with the cost of maintaining it ;
and all these items would fall on the public. (Hear.)
Mr. W AKLEY observed that it had been stated the
other night that no application whatever would be made to
the consolidated fund for a shilling.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked
that what was said was that the contractors were willing to
extend the term, before which notice might be given from
the lot of December to the Ist of May ; hut no proposal
had been mode in reference to maintaining the building.

THE WEEK AT TILE CRYSTAL PALACE.

MoNDAY.

This day the Exhibition was opened at nine o'clock
and closed at six, instead of opening at ten and closing at
see, n, as en previous days, the gradual shortening of the
41 Is having led to this alteration. Owing, probably, to
the change not being very generally know a, the number
who availed themselves of the earlier hour for tisiting the
Exhibition was comparatively small; the total number
arriving up to ten o'clock being not more than 3,478.
Within the next hour upwards of 14,000 arrived ; at twelve
o'clock the total number admitted was 30.a59 ; at one the
numbers reached to 11,017 ; and at two to 11,513. From
two till five, the arrivals were, of course, considerably lea,
frequent, the numbers not exceeding 6,003 during the three
hours.
11u•ing the day many of the visitors were surprised by
seeing, towering high over the diminutive throng, what
was at first considered to be it colossal statue ; but, upon
closer investigation, proved to be the famous giantess from
Lapland, who is upwards of seven feet in height. She is
handsome and well proportioned, and, as might be ex-
pected, attracted considerable notice. She was accompanied
by a female attendant in the costume of a Laplander, who,
although of fair average height, appeared by her side a
perfect dwarf.
The moderation of the temperature rendered the build-
ing a more comfortable resort than it was a week ago. The
number of arrivals was •11;4!.3 according to the police returns.

There has been some slight degree of flatness ob,
servahle in the share market to-day, due mainly to
the absence of business, but prices are generally pretty
well supported, the variations being in most
instances immaterial. Manchester and Sheffields,
however, form au exception, being decidedly heavy,

This priect of nearly all descriptions of colonial produce
continue in favour of the Movers, hut without causing any
increase in the demand. Sales of Sugar are made with dif-
ficulty, although importers have again accepted lower quo-
tations. Fur Coffee there has been much less inquiry, and
SP some holders have pressed sales, a decline of fully Iv. has
occurred; the native sorts of Ceylon have been sold at 395.

MONEY MARKET.

1 HIS DAY.

Tete o'Ccner.

The English stock market opened at yesterday's
rates, but, notwithstanding the satisfactory feature
presented by the increase of nearly a quarter of a mil-
lion in the Bank's stock of bullion, prices have shown
some degree of flatness, as sellers have formed the ma-
jority of operators, and the quotation of time bargains
;in Consols is 4 lower than it left off yesterday. Bu-
siness is upon a quiet scale, and very few operations
for investment have offered.

Consols opened 96; to for the account, but are
now called 96 to 3, both for cash and the 11th of
September. The official business list reports trans-
actions in the following stocks only, viz.. :—Three per
Cent. Consols, 901,1 ; ditto for account, 961, :; Three
per Cent. Reduced, 971, ; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 99, 981; Annuities of 30 years, expiring
in 1860, 71 ; Bank Stock, 21:41, 215.
Very little business is being done in the unfunded
securities, but prices are firm, as sellers are not offer-
ing. Exchequer Bills remain quoted at their im-
proved rate of 4's. to 495. prem. India Bonds.
1,000!., mark 579. prem.
In the foreign stock market business has been
limited to a few operations in the more speculative
class of securities, for which rather higher prices have
been paid. Mexican, Spanish,and Peruvian have shown
a tendency to improvement. A circular has been issued
by the Mexican l'ommittee, in which it is intimated
that the certificates representing the eight arrear
coupons, and which only are entitled to the indem-
nity money. can be negotiated separate from the
bond. Business is marked to-day as follows :
Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 93,921. Mexican

reported, and the value is 311 s. to 395. 6,1. for the hat three
months of the year ; at these rates some parties will not
sell. Town melted is in good demand, and 375. to 375. 6d.

of late. Other sorts of Tallow are in larger demand, and a
small uilvanee has been obtained ; the supply is also less
than in the former week. Of colonial and foreign sloth is
8,001) casks more than last season, but the consumption is

vails that Tallow will be dearer as supplies are likely to be
less than in the former season. In the value of (at there 15
no variation, but it sells more freely.

CHINESE CONTRIBUTIONS.

Among the objects of interest lately added to the
Exhibition are a number of idols from China, contributed
by Major Edy, the grotesqueness of which appeared
to afford much amusement to ordinary observers, whilst a
still greater attraction for the philosophic visitor was to be
found in their symbolism of the worship of Fo, supposed
to be the Buddha of the Hindoos. The chief of the
figures, which are all executed in bronze, is believed to
represvnted the Queen of Heaven, on each side of whom
are forms typical of her attributes. The faces of the
goddess and her attendants bear a great similarity
The centre idol, however, considerably exceeds its satellites
in size, and differs in being independent of supports. The
interiors are seated, the one on an elephant, the other on a

she elevates above her head, in an attitude equally sug-
gestive of benediction and indicative of supplication, and
which may therefore denote either an exhortation to prayer
or an emblem of mercy; in another we have apparently the
entrance to a temple ; in another, a small bell; each,
in fact, eontains some separate symbol which Buddhist
philosophers may best translate. These divinities seem to
have been surrendered by their priesthood with great
facility ; they w ere drought without difficulty from& tempi* at

The Crystal Palace w•ua visited on Thursday by an
immense crowd, composed chiefly of provincial visitors and
foreigners. The heat was oppressive in the extreme, the
theritionteter ranging from 77 to 80 degrees during the
afternoon. The police returns show 50,482 arrivals.
The mo.t interesting of the arrival* on this day consisted of
a number of the schools of Woolwich, the children of which
amounted altogether to not fewer than 1,55.1. They were
headed by the Thckyard band, the use of which had been
kindly granted by the authorities. Each of the children
wore a distinctive number and ribbon, with a small bag

containing their provisions for the day, and a mug for
water. A large number of ladies and gentlemen accom-
panied them, each having charge of a particular section,
and provided with ribbons and numbers corresponding to
their sections. The children mustered on the Market-hill,
Woolwich, at half-past six o'clock, and reached the Exhibi-
tion at ten o'clock. Upon their arrival they separated into
different sections, and proceeded to CX4lllille the various
parts of the building ; and the appearance presented by them
was exceedingly interesting. Upon leaving the building
the band played the National Anthem,and was accompanied
by the voices of the whole of the children. The arrange-
ments for the visit were made by Mr. Charlton, of Wool-
wich, and reflected the hi4hest credit upon him. Dr.
Campbell and several other ministers accompanied the
children.
