THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The total number of visitors at the Crystal l'alaeo
yesterday was 65,902 ; of these, 52,240 had passed the doors
at 1 o'clock, being the largest number, up to that hour,
that has been admitted since the opening. The total re-
ceipts were 3,1711. 75., of which 21. 2s. was for a WiL,OB
ticket; consequently, G 3,383 persons must have paid the
admission fee of one shilling. Her Majesty, Prince Albert.
the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, and suite. visited
the Exhibition, and inspected a portion of the agricultural
implements. The royal party did nut leave the building
until some time after 10 o'clock, at which time a very largo
assemblage of spectators had arrived. On the departure of
the royal party from the agricultural implement denart-
ment, which is situate at the smith-west angle of the build-
ing, the spectators had arranged themselves in lime along
the entire length of the nave, between which her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and suite were pleased to puss. In doing so,
her Majesty most graciously acknowledged the earnest re-
spect and warm plaudits from her assembled subjects.
Among the entertainments provided for our foreign visi-
tors by the council and their friends is a visit to-day to the
collection of British paintings belonging to John Sheep-
shanks, Esq., and a trip down to Liverpool on Saturday to
dine with Mr. Brown, NIX., on board the great steamer
Atlantic. It was hoped at first that the North Western
Company, grateful for the immense traffic they have
act:rifted by the Exhibition, would have granted a fi co
train, but after much negotiation they have confined their
free passes to the foreigners, requiring all the English
guests to pay excursion fares. Mr. Brown will have a small
steamer in readiness to convey his guests up and down the
Mersey to see all its wonders, after which they will proceed
on board the Atlantic and dine, and its the evening attend a
reception at the Mayor's. Should the weather prove tine,
our foreign friends, who have received invitations to the
number of 100, are likely to see much to gratify and im-
prove them.

TIIK FATAL ittoT IN SIIOE-LANE.—Yesterday tho
adjourned itmuest on William Rogan, who died trona in-
juries received- on Sunday morning in the riot which took
place in Shoe-lane, was concluded. Mr. Topping, surgeon.
had completed a post mortem examination which had led
him to conclude that external violence was the cause of
death, but whether this occurred through a fall or blow he
could not tell. The Coroner having summed up, the jury,
after consulting for an hour and a half, returned a verdict
That the deceased died from the effects of violence at tho
hands of the police, but who the officer was they had not
sufficient evidence to prove." The Coroner—"'Then you
mean to say man,laughtcr against some policeman un-
known." The foreman answered in the affirmative,
when the Coroner said it was most extraordinary that in
a place like the city of London they were unable to tell
who the policeman was.

1 EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO AN EXCI'IIBION
TRAlN.—Yesterday an excursion train on the Great
Western Railway brought up about 1,500 passengers front
Gloucester, Stroud, and Cheltenham, to the Great Exhibi-
tion. This line of railway between Stroud and Tetbury
runs up a weep incline of about five miles in length, and
terminating in a tunnel about two miles long, and the
gradients in which arc in some parts as high as I in 75 or 30.
The train, which consisted of 23 carriages, arrived at this
incline in safety, and was propelled up it with some diffi-
culty by two powerful engines ; but on its emerging from
the tunnel on the London side it was discovered that 11
of the carriages had become detached from the train, and
were nowhere to be seen. The utmost consternation was
caused by the discovery, especially as it was known that
the detached carriages must of necessity rush hack down
the incline, and as there was but one guard to control
their speed it was feared that they would run into the up
mail train, which was known to be following close behind-.

nately poitlootttezointeh, ° however,
runaway waso carriages,
as the pilot engine was proceeding down the incline
the mail train was met slowly ascending, and the engine
driver having been apprised of the danger, he immediately
reversed his engine, and backed his train down the incline,
thus allowing the runaway carriages to descend upon him
without any serious collision, and both trains arrived at the
bottom of the incline in safety. The passengers were
greatly alarmed, and two or three of them who leaped from
the carriages as they were descending received rather seri-
ous contusions, but beyond a delay of about three hours in
the arrival of the train at Paddington,nothing inure serious
occurred to mar the pleasure of the excursion.
