OPENING OF THE ART TREASURES

by their respective suites, left the terminus of the

'mg route to Manchester.
His royal highness arrived at the teminus at
shout ten minutes to seven, and wrs immediately
emideicted by the Marquis of Abercorn to the
loyal train, which consisted of a "slow, four family
iimages, and two break cans; the family carriages

As the train moved out of the station, the royal
party was cordially cheered by a large concourse of
For For to-day's ceremonial the central passage of the
building appropriated to the exhibition is flanked
from end to end with several rows of seats;
multitudes of chairs fill every available opening,
and at the intersection of the nave and transepts,
and surrounding the dam to which Prince Albert
and his suite will be conducted, the ground-
Boor is covered, and the galleries above furnished
with the requisite accommodation for the great as-
semblage of spectators. Provision was made for 9,000
persons. The great orchestra at the west end receives
900 musicians ; and rising above it is the grandorgan,
graceful in its form and its decorations, and flanked
by portraits of her Majesty and Prince Albert.
The roof of this end of the building is adorned
with banners, brilliantly coloured, inscribed with
the names of great artists, and bearing, also, the
arms of the different countries which have given
birth to them.
The police arrangements were such as to leave no
fear of order being preserved throughout the city
and all along the line of route by which Prince
Albert proceeds to open the Exhibition. Temporary
platforms were erected at many places, and the
charges for these, as well as for every other specie'
of public accommodation, confidently fixed at each

epaellaiewhich was witnessed on the occasion other Majesty's
whit to the Park in 1851, wu of too striking a character to
be NM ihnutten. It was a sight that had never before
gleillead the eyes of say sovereign to gaze on an usemblage
et MAO children, all Sunday scholars. It was worthy of
•• Miming memorial, and none more fitting could have
ties devised than a statue of the august personage whose
Odium welcomed by so vast a body of her subjects. Equally
apprepriate will be the mutter in which the statue will be
baugarated. The interest exalted by the ratace's visit Is
Muse, and the reception that will be wounded to his royal
Wows will be meet enthunastie. Preparations on a large
male are being made in the park for the accommodation of
the Ballard oreporation, the Sunday scholars, and the general
public. The statue Is being placed directly in front of the
new wing which has recently been added to the library and
mamma. It has been executed in Sicilian marble, by Mr.
Matthew Noble, and is Bft. No. in height. It stands on •
pedestal of marble of a similar colour, which is supported on
a base of Aberdeen granite. A canopied platform, Intended
lee his royal highness and his attendants, with the sayer
and other gentlemen, is erected a short distance to the west
of the status. To the left is the large platform which
will be filled by those of the public who have been so for-
tenets as to obtain " green" tickets. The Sunday scholars
alai their teachers, to the number of 2,000, will be
ewewoosidel on a platform on the east of the statue.
The beau( the Ilk Dragoon Guards will be stationed on
amdlphilhem muted between these two. The statue will
thus be eartamied by platforms on every side except that
facing the Mew and museum. This apses is specially
reserved in maudlin an uninterrupted view may be obtained
