LONDON. TUESDAY EVBNING, JUNE 17, Oft.

THE INTERNATIONAL /

[ON.

One of the earliest visitors yesterday was his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accompanied
by the Princess Alice, and attended by Earl Gran-
ville and Sir Wentworth Mika The Prince spent
some time in the French Court, and would have
spent more, examining the various attractive objects
it contains, but that the moment his Royal High-
new was recognised the curiosity of the public,
both French and English, overstepped all bounds
of decorum. Not satisfied with following and
pressing on his Royal Highness, the people dodged
round the cues, and stood right in front of the
royal y, actually obliging them to pass another
wayfrequently during their visit. This conduct
apparently disgusted the Prince, who made good
his retreat from the court as soon as possible. His
Royal Highness also visited the Precious Metals
Court, and spent a considerable time at the case of
Mr. Harry Emanuel, with the precious contents of
which he expressed himself very much pleased.
His Royal Highness also visited the philo-
sophical instrument department, when he
paused for a short time before the fine collection of
Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, and shortly after-
wards left the building, The Puha of Rapt was.
also a visitor, and made more purchases, inoludittg
a splendid jewel from the case of M. Rouvenat, in
the French court, at the moderate figure of 1,3001.
It gave us great satisfaction on entering the
'building to find, from the fragrant odours that per
the eastern platform, that the prohibition
• respecting the scenting of the waters had been
I relaxed.

Yesterday being Monday the palace was crowded
with working people. Towards evening the rain fell
in torrents, and the usual scenes were to be wit-
nessed on leaving the building, the cabmen
dominating the situation, the police cyphers. Oae
of the former, who had been fined 50s. in the
morning for imposition, declared openly that "He
didn't care twopence, as he was earning 61. a week
besides giving his ' governor' seventeen shillings a
day for the vehicle.' It has been suggested that if
the commissioners would permit the omnibuses to
draw up to the doors in the evening, when all the
private carriages have gone away, a serious inroad
would be made into the monopoly which the cab-
men now abuse so terribly. They take no hiring
except from the Arabs, and not from one of them
unless he is able to hold up the magic four fingers,
which indicate a full freight, when attempting to
atop the cabs.
The number of visitors yesterday was as follows :
By season tickets
By payment 37,755

Total 41,436

Messrs. Sampson Low have just published
a Plain Guide to the Wonders of the Exhibition,
price 6d., and a Key to the Exhibition, price 2d.
The first of these works is an elegantly printed
guide-book to all the points of interest in the Ex-
hibition—not too bare to be descriptive and read-
able, not too wordy to be portable. The second
is a folding sheet of descriptive plans, clear and
well arranged, which, like the other book, will
carry a stranger through the building in a few
hours. It may be put into au ordinary waistcoat
pocket.

TIM CORPORATION or LONDON AND THE ERNI- I
DITION. Isbin contemplation by the oorporation of the
city of London to give an entertainment in honour of the
lotereatioeal Exhibition on a scale of extraordinary splen-
dour. Yesterday, at a preliminary meeting held at the
Mansion-boase, the subject was mooted before the Lord
Mayor, the different chairmen of committees of the Com-
moo Council, and the several ward deputies, who had been
specially convened for its consideration. The proposal was
received with unqualified favour, and before separating they
pasted • unanimous resolution to submit it for considera
tion to • Court of Common Council, to be forthwith sem-
mooed for the purpose. The festival is intended to be bald
is Guildhall, which will be brilliantly decorated, and to
equal in magnificence that which the Queen graced with her
royal presence there on • kindred occasion on the evening of
the 9th of July, 1851, and on which the corporation ex-
pended upwards of 5,0001. The entertainment, which, as
at present indicated, will consist of • hall, preceded by •
(*uteri, will be gives more erpeci•lly, if not solely, is corn-
pliment to the foreigners of distinction, visiton to the Ex-
hibition or officially identified with it. As on the occasion
of 1851, the invited guests, numbering, it may be, about,
4,000, will probably include some members of the
royal family, the great officers of state, the
foreign ambassadors and ministers, members of the
Houses of Lords and Commons. the judges, the
Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition, the members
of the corporation, the masters of the various civic com-
panies, bankers, merchants, sod traders, end the repress.-
tatives of literary and scientific societies. The rumour
gains ground daily that the Emperor of the French pur-
poses paying • visit to the Exhibition. In that event it is
understood to be in contemplation to depute a few of the
principal members of the corporation to proceed to Parts
beforehand to invite his Imperial Majesty to the intestate-
meat, and to name • day for holding it which would suit
his Majesty's convepience. Last evening • special Court of
Common Council was convened for Thursday next, tan •
motion, of which notice has bees eves, will be salemitirl
for coosidentios, having for its object to obtain the sanc-
tion of the court to • munificent grant of gamey from the
corporate fends, to be expended on • festival which shall
be worthy alike of the great international gathering and of
the lustiest renews fee hospitality and petite spirit of the
oorrortation of London.
