THE INTERNATIONAL

Yesterday the attendance was again up to 60,000,
and the various courts were, as usual, thronged to
inconvenience. The majority of the visitors were,
however, not belonging to the working Ch 11•61,
being all fashionably dressed, withan immense pre-
ponderance of ladies, who now seem to have taken
the exhibition under their especial patronage. A
large number of Danes from one of the Royal es-
tablishments at Copenhagen have arrived, and have
commenced their series of visits. They are all in
uniform, are commanded by their own officers, sad
are, we understand, found in everything by their
government until their return to Copenhagen. The
children of the Royal Caledonian Asylum were
also among the visitors yesterday. They came to
the number of 140, with their teachers and attend-
ants ; the whole of their expenses, including refresh-
ments and conveyance, having been defrayed by his
Grace the Duke of Buccleuch.
In the evening his Imperial Highness the Prince
Napoleon was entertained in M. Vaillard's princi-
pal dining-room by the French exhibitors. There
was a very large company, amongst whom we recog-
nised—His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon,
Lord Granville, his Excellency M. Rouher,
Chevalier, M. Art-Dufour, M. Du Sommerard,
Rogues, M. deFranqueville, M. Focillon, M. Donna.,
M. le Colonel Franooaniere, M. Call, Sir Joseph
011iffe, M. 13arbediena, M. Christofie, M. Merrier,
Sir Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Sandford, the Duke
of Buckingham, and about 200 French gentle-
men connected with the French department.
The Prince Napoleon arrived at eight o'clock, and
was most cordially received by the company, the
band playing " Partant pour la Syrie,' and the
visitors cheering as his Imperial Highuess
along. His Imperial Higlinsas wore the rib Ere ci
of
the Legion of Honour, as did also M. Rouher, who
accompanied him. Lord Granville and Sir W.
Dilke followed immediately after. After dinner
the Prince gave "The health of the Queen,"
with a touching allusion to the recent bereavement
in the royal family, and the toast was most en-
thusiastically honoured by the company. Earl
Granville then gave " The health of the Emperor,"
which his lordship proposed in the following terms:

His Imperial Highness gave, in an elaborate
apeeuh, "The English Commissioners and the
French Exhibitors," and took occasion to trace the
progress of international exhibitions from the first
French exposition in 1849 down to the present one
of 1862. His Imperial Highness, who spoke ex-
tempore in the English fashion, was much cheered,
and resumed his seat amid universal applause. Earl
Granville acknowledged the toast, and returned the
thanks of the royal commissioners.
His lordship's speech, which was most successful,
terminated the business of the banquet. Imme-
diately after the company broke up and adjourned
for coffee to the vestibule of the Horticultural-
gardens, where the choristers from Toulouse sang
several popular pieces of French music.
The official return of the number of visitors yes-
terday is as follows:—By swoon tickets, 7,884 ;
by payment, 54,956 ; total, 62,840.

THE INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL
SHOW.

Some seven or eight sets of steam ploughing ap-
paratus got to work yesterday at Farningham ;
but there were too many checks, as is
usual on the opening day, to allow of much being
done, and all notice of the operations there will
be postponed until something satisfactory can be
recounted. The exhibition of these steam-drawn
ploughs and cultivators will continue to-day and
to-morrow from eleven o'clock till four. To-day
commences the half-crown days for the general
show. Yesterday the company was very large and
select. The stewards are much encouraged by the
improved attendance. The expensed have been
unusually heavy. The object of the society is
truly national, and they naturally look for national
support.
