THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Derby Day was also one of the greatest days
at the International Exhibition ; not so the Good-
wood, which, combined with the fine weather,
seemed to take away a great many people from
South Kensington yesterday. The attendance was
not considered good—some 58,000 or so—but it
fully obeyed the ascending scale which we noticed
a day or two since. The company was strikingly
respectable, and might have done admirably for
Friday or Saturday. The following list of
schools and other institutions affords gratifying
proof that the teachers of the people have at
length found out that a visit to the
International Exhibition is not altogether •
useless step in popular education. St. Mary's,

The highest temperature yesterday, taken by
Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers, was at
145 p.m. :—ln the nave, 68. 1 ; in the galleries, 70.8 ;
about two degrees cooler than on Tuesday.
The following are tie total numbers admitted yes-
terday, compared with the corresponding day in
1851 :

THE APPROACEINO VOLUNTEKR AND LINE Rs.
Mir AT •NOOT.—It ie stated that some of the officers of the
29ti (North) Middlesex Corp.. in order to ensure a good
muster of that regiment at Asoot, have resolved to reduce the
railway fare of the effective* under their commend ou Bata&
day from 3. to la., by paying the difference out of thereon
pockets. Wore this example generally followed, sad Wks
of what is intended given at once through the ordimry
channels, the effect would, it is thought, be to make the
metropolitan muster of volunteers worthy of the occasion

—The annual Mition of this cotes took place yesterday
evening io Hyde Ark, and at their drill ground at Bramp-
ton, before Calomel Irliordo and a numerous eompaay of
spectators. At ballast 6 o'clock the corps mustered at the
drill-shed, South Kensington, and marched thence to the

Wright, Captain and Adjutant Barlow, fec. Here

and also drew a waggon. The corps then mark to the
drill-ground at Bromptoo, where Colonel ld•Murdo
spaded a model sand-bag powder magazine, and five model
bastions, thrown up on principles of different construction,
with all of which the colonel expressed himself much
pleased. After the examination was over, Colonel M'Murdo
said it had given him great ple.isure to be agun their is.
and a witness of their proficiency. What be saw at
Spector
ectAir Mooing showed him that they had well rtudied
their duties. Their pootooning operations were sa
rapid as those of regiments of the line. He hoped
mat year they would be able to throw • bridge
across composed of casks. He said casks, because they
could not always be expected to have a complete pontoon
bridge with them, and therefore they must adapt them-
selves to the services that might occur in ram of war.
The War Department would next year give them the
superstructure for forming a bridge of bangs. They had
had Dot much room in the grounds, but they had made the
beat use of it. In case of an in vaaioo their duty would be
to go first and form the landing place for the troops to
debark, and to do it rapidly and well. He hoped he should
meet them again weber year to witaces their proper--
(cheers). Three cheers were then given for Cot. Milord°,
and the regiment was dismissed.
