THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The attendance nt the Crystal Palace yesterday,
between sixty and seventy thousand, showed that the public
interest in its contents has in no wise abated, and that the
wager about lfhl.ooo is r..ry likely to be decided in the
affirmative before the Iltii October next. The company
was considerably better dressed than on the previous day,
and were so various in appearance and costume, that it
would be difficult to pronounce whether thaw general
character was more civic or rural. There were a great

many foreigners, principally French and Germans, and
several schools, but the labourers' parties seem generally to
confine themselves to Mondays. With respect to the
Palace, the commissioners will its a few days
issue their notice to Fox and Henderson to commence, at a
date mentioned, the demolition of the building. The latter
will be compelled to obey, and very shortly after, if the
public do not step in, ltays.xds will be germinating where
now stands the most singular and beautifa! edifice that was
ever devoted to the recreation of a people. The sacrifice by
which it might be retained is by no means so large as some
persons might be led to imagine. The terms of the ori-
ginal contract are generally known-70,5001. if the build-
ing were pulled down at the close of the season, 150,0001.
if it remained for the benefit of the public. The money
actually paid to the contractors has been 130,090/., the
excess being caused by an extra gallery and the staircases,
which were not in the original estimate. 70,000/. more
would probably be required bar the purchase of the build-
ing, and as the probable surplus is estimated at 200,000/.,
there would still be 130,0001. left for any great national
education scheme or other public benefit that might be
decided on by the commissioners. It still thus be seen
that no new call on the public. purse would be
necessary to preserve the Crystal Palace, to create
the winter garden, and to pr.vent the perpetration of an
act which, if committed, will cover all parties concerned
with an immense amount of unpopularity. A very splendid
addition was made yeste•day to the collection of M. Marcel,
in the French jewellery department, in the shape of a large
dressing-case, intended for Mustafa Bey, brother to the
present Pacha of Egypt.
The police numbers were 02,622.

MAKING MONEY OF NlAnsrv.—An official

the occasion of her Most Gracious Majesty's visit to Man-
chester, will forthwith make aprlication to me fur adusis,ion.

TILE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPLI BETWEEN FOLKE-
STONE AND CALAIS.—The Blazer, steam vessel, having
been granted by the Admiralty to assist in laying down the
line of electric telegraph across the Straits of Dover, sailed
for that place yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon from Ports-
mouth, in tow of the Sprightly, steam-vessel, Master Com-
mander 0. Allen.

TELF,murtt Ire BRITISH Nolan AMERICA.—The
wire between Quebec and Halifax, including its submersion
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in nearly completed. A new
feature, alike feasible fur adoption, but apparently not
thought of in this country, has been introduced in America
—that of marking the distance by railway on the tele-
graphic poles, at given ranges.
RAILWAY EXCURSION TRAIN FRAUDS.—At the
Fareham bench of magistrates, on Monday last, Captain
Sir 11. Lecke in the chair, John Bendy, a boiler-maker, be-
longing to Portsmouth Dockyard, was charged with taking
his seat in a South Western Railway train without having
provided himself with a ticket. It appeared that on Sun-
day evening, when the excursion train returning to Lon-
don was on the point of leaving Portsmouth terminus, the
defendant wan seen to take his place in it, but having been
observed on the platform in the morning previous to the
train's arrival from London, it was obvious that he could
not be the owner of an excursion ticket. Accordingly Mr.
11. G. Sutton, the superintendent of the Portsmouth ter-
minus, got into the same carriage, and went as far as Fare-
ham, when he asked the defendant to produce his railway
ticket. The defendant did produce an excursion ticket from
London to Portsmouth and back, on which Mr. Sutton
charged him with having purchased it at the terminus on
the arrival of the train from London. This the defendant
admitted, ea which Mr. Sutton gave him into custody.
The bench convicted him, and sentenced him to pay a fine
of 403., with the costs, and in default of payment he was
committed to two months' imprisonment. The defendant
had no money at all about him when given into custody.
AMERICAN TRADE WITH THE BRITISH PROVINCES.
—The Notiond 1 nteli igerwr, the organ of the government
at Washington, publishes the following:—By a Treasury
Circular, of 12th June, 1851, the collectors of the customs
were instructed, under the provisions of the act of Congress
of 2Gth September, 1850, to admit British vessels coming
from the ports of Canada, New Brunswiek,and Nova Scotia
on the same footing, both as to vessels and cargoes, as Ame-
rican vessels, in consequence of the latter having been ad-
mitted on like terms with British in the ports of those colo-
nies. These privileges have sia.ce been extended to British
vessels coming from the ports of Prince Edward's Island,
in consequence of the following proclamation of the gover-
nor of that colony, which has been officially communicated
to the department of state by the British Minister:—
" Whereas, it has been intimated to me, through the
British Minister at Washington, by communications ad-
' dressed to his Excellency, from the United States
IDepartment of State and Treasury Department, that,
when assurance is given that American vessels are ad-
mitted in all the ports of Prince Edward's Island, on the
same footing as British vesicle, the Treasury Department of
the United States will cheerfully and promptly issue the
needful instruction to grant similar privileges to vessels from
