THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1851.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.

The Manchester Town Council and Town Council of
Salford agreed to the addresses to her Majesty and Prince
Albert on behalf of their respective corporatiens on Wed-
nesday.
The Duke of Wellington reached Manchester, en route for
Woralcy, on Wednesday ut 5.15 p.m., per London and North
Western Railway. Ms Grace rode in his private biitzka,
mounted on a truck. A pair of the Earl of Ellesmere's
horses were in waiting, and conveyed the noble duke to
Worsley-hall. A number of respectable people had as-
sembled at the railway station, and cheered his Grace
heartily. Mr. Woodhouse, the secretary of the company,
received the duke, and superintended the removal of the
carriage from the truck. When the carriage was about to
move off the Duke of Wellington threw up the glass front
of the vehicle, and quietly acknowledged the cheers of the
crowd by the ordinary military salute.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION:

The rain, which poured down incessantly during
the greater part of yesterday, somewhat curtailed the at-
teudanee which might reasonably have been expected on
the last of the shilling (lays. Nevertheless, the number of
visitors went far beyond that of any day antecedent to the
prevent eventful week. Considerably beyond 90,000 deter-
mined sight-sackers braved rain and mud, and congregated
in the iutcrior until they made it resemble one vast vapour
bath. The great majority were mechanics and labourers,
and those of the poorer sort—what the police familiarly
term a "rough lot," with their roughness of appearance not
at all diminished by the probation they had undergone
while en mite. Still, although their appearance might not
have added much to the embellishments of a drawing-
room, their conduct would have done it honour,
as nothing could exceed the respectfulness of ad-
miration with which they examined every heauti
ful conception of art, every ingenious specimen of
manufactures. There were also a great number of foreigners
present, evidently of the better class, and one of high
distinction, Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, cousin of the Pre-
sident, and bearing a striking resemblance to his uncle the
latp Emperor. Prince Napoleon arrived as early as seven
o'clock, with a pass from Lord Granville, and had finished
his inspection before the arrival of the great body of the
visitors. Symptoms of the approaching close of the Exhibi-
tion begin to show themselves iu various ways. Workmen
may be seen at the various exits erecting platforms for the
delivery of goods, and within the clerks arc busy issuing
tickets for exhibitors' friends for Monday and Tuesday next.
Each exhibitor will have tickets for two friends fur Monday
and Tuesday, and one for himself only for Wednesday next.
Upwards of 90,000 are said to bo in course of issue,
so that considerable crowds may be expected on
both the days mentioned. A great deal of buainem
is expected to be done on Monday and Tuesday, as it is
conjectured that the exhibitors will distribute their tickets
among 4 those most likely to prove customers. Already
considerable sales are being made, especially in the French
department. Froment Meuriee, and Co., receive nume-
rous orders, and M. Vale: has sold some of his most costly
plate. One beautiful centrepiece, representing the foliage
of the vine, is likely to become the property of Lady
Truro. We were informed by one of the exhibitors in
this department, that out of 100 cards he had distributed
of his Paris address, 90 had turned up trumps by the re-
ceipt of orders fur counterparts of his exhibits. It is
thus far satisfactory to know that those who have contri-
buted so efficiently to the success of the Exhibition are not
likely to lose by their enterprise and public spirit. The
same observation applies to the British machinery-room,
where numerous orders have been received from all parts
of the continent for duplicates of the various machines
exhibited.

The police returns yesterday were 90,813, and the re-
ceipts 4,3441. is. &I.
The following shows the temperature yesterday, as re-
corded by Mr. Bennett's thermometers, being the mean
result of 100 readings :-10 o'clock, 50 ; 12 o'clock, 56 ; 2
o'clock, 61 ; 4 o'clock, 65 ; 6 o'clock, 64. Mean tempera-
ture, 59.2.

Mr. RASISUAY.—Lord Carlisle having arrived at
Liverpool yesterday, Mr. Samuel Holm° (the chairman),
and Mr. Jeffery (secretary) of the Whitty Indemnity Com-
mittee, sought and obtained an interview, and laid the
matter of Mr. Bainshay before him. In reply, his lordship
expressed his readiness to inquire Into the case at the
earliest opportunity, and begged that the memorial should
be sent on to him at Sir Benjamin Heywood's, Manchester,
although he would consider that it had been presented.
TILE FROME MUHDER.—On Monday two men,
named Robert Hurd (alias Frome Bob) and William
Magg., were apprehended by detective Sergeant Smith, on
suspicion of having been concerned in the 'Mc horrible
murder committed on the poor girl, Sarah Watts. On
Tuesday morning they were brought up before the Frome
bench of magistrates, when the evidence of the father of
the deceased was taken, and also of a man named Watts,
who saw the prisoners, in company with others, going in
the direction of the house where the murder was com-
mitted, on the day of the murder. There arcother circum-
stances of a suspicious nature against the prisoners, which
must not for the present be made public. Sergeant Smith
applied for a remand of the prisoners until Monday next,
which was granted.—Sherberna Journal.
