afford the advantage of its judgan.nt and experience
in relation to sue. Peal instruments and appliances,
are t.. be found the names of Anton, Bryson,
Cesar Hawkins, Lawrence, Paget, South, and more
of note and high-profeasional credit. We are almost
tenipetsl to give the list of the •• Ediazti.si Cum-
mitte•," which has to sit in judgumit on educa-
tional works and appliances entire, believing that
this will be a departnicut which taunt attract
censi.leralile attention, and sill invite no
little criticism ; but it may perhaps suffice
to say that it contains the names of two
es-Viee-Presidents of the Committee of the Privy
Council for Edueation, Mr. Adderley and Mr. W.
Con per ; the s. cretary to that body, Mr. Lingers ;
the DAM!' of Hereford, the Dean of Christ Church ;
the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge ; Rev.
Dr. Temple, several well-kuown government in-
'Teuton' of schools, Dr. Joseph Hooker, Mr. Harry
Chester, Mr. J. S. Reynolds Mr. Philip Sclater,
the Rev. W. Legere, and no out. In considering the
fleueral Conimittee for the Flue Art Department, it
is neccsuiry to divide it into three sect ious--nainely,
thechief patn NIS of art ; the amateurs amongst whom
the former may be included ; and the purely '
.1..131 member.. Amongst t►e find and second are
to i.e found the Duke of Buocleuch, 2.larqui.tes
cof Laieelowne and Hertford ; Earls Spencer, Stan-
hope, Malinesbury, Somers, Dudley ; Lonle Ash-
burton, Oventtone, ijanov.r, Elcho, Taunton ; Sir
Stafford Northeote, Mr. R. S. Holton', Mr. H. T.
Hope, Mr. Ruskin, Mr. Toot Taylor, Mr. Walter,
• ; while the artist clement proper is represented
by the respective Presidents of the Royal Aca-
demy, Royal Scottish and Hibernian Academies,
the old and new Societies of Painters
in Water Colours, of the Society of British Artists
Institute of British Artists anti Royal Institution
of British Artiste. This department, which is in a
certain sense a new feature as compared with the
Exhibition of Isul, has revived a good dual of
care and attention in its organization. It in subdi-
vided into classes, the first of which is " Archi-
tecture," and the committee embrace. Pro-
femme Donaldson, Mr. Hayter Lewis, Mr. Beres-
ford Hope, Mr. G. G. Scott, Mr. Sidney
limirke, Mr. Tite, and Mr. Digby Wyatt. The judicial
authorities on " Painting,' iu oil and water-colours
and drawing'," are, Sir Charles Eastlake, Sir J. W.
(Jordon, Mr. Catterson Smith, Mr. Hurletone, Mr.
Taylor, and Mr. H. Warren ; while Mr. Redgravu
occupies the post of professional adviser to these
magnates of the artistic calling. The section of
"Art Designs for Manufactures" is committal to
the care of the Marquis of Salisbury, the
Earl of Dudley, Sir J. P. Boileau, Mr.
Bowler, Mr. Henry Cole, Mr. Wane, R.A., Mr.
Dlonckton Milne, the. While " Sculpture, Mo-
dels, Die-sinking and Intaglios Etchings and
Engntvings" are under the charge of the Marquis of
Lansdowne, the Earl of Gillen', Morns. Foley and
Westmacott, It. A., Mr. Layartl, Mr. W. H. Car-
penter, Mr. D. Colmighi, Mr. (J. T. Doo, Mr. R.
J. Lane, A.R.A., and Mr. W. Smith.
It is to. be feared that the information which it
wan proposed to ittlionl by the above statement
has degenerated somewhat into a mere list
of newel,. The only apology that can be offered fee
Ruch a defect is to be found in this—that this
agglomeration of name' represents the fact of the
organization that is to produce an exhibition which,
as a whole, has to bear the tests of competition and
comparison with its predecessor, teats which will
surely be severely applied by doubting prejudice
and precouceivel criticism. Long as the catalogue
of names in question may appear, they are but a
selection made at hazard from the whole 'let, and
it will, we think, ho admitted that it indicates a re-
markable concentration of the intellect, the profes-
sional skill, the experience, and the judgment of the
'wintry on an undertaking which, while in its pur-
pose and its application it is decidedly cosmopolitan,
is its essence and its organization claims to be purely
national.

It may perhaps be mentioned that the advertine-
manta for tenders for contracts for the refreshment
deFuttnent of the Exhibition will be out this week.
There is a significance in this announcement which
will no doubt be duly appreciated.

A letter Inuit Cologne, dated Monday, any. "
The Prince of Wales arrived here without much display,
and passed yesterday rather quietly. In the afternoon he
spent several boors at the new museum, examining the
fine collection of Dusseldorf and other pictures now on ex-
hibition there. He was so simply dressed, in dark cavalry
uniform, that he would have primed unnoticed among the
brilliant crowd by which he was surrounded were it not that
his features have been made so familiar to the German
public through prints and busts. The prince was accom-
panied by Prince Charles, the brother of the King, the
Crown Prince Frederick William, the Grand Duke of Saxe
Weimar, the Duke of Wellington, arid several of the Prue.
aims and English nobility. The conduct of the vieiton
to the museum—and they were very many, as no special
preparations were made for the royal party, and everyone
who chose to pay his seven-and-a-half groechen for his
ticket could enter—was worthy of all praise. There was no
vulgar pushing and crowdies to see the strangers, though
all present knew well who the distinguished guests were.
The Prince of Wales was able to examine the pictures at
his leisure without impertinent intrusion ; and at the move
time there was DO obsequious hurrying out of his way or
officious efforts to attract his attention, but all present,
both titled and untitled, behaved like gentlemen. The
heir ti the English throne showed in his every movement
the mine genuine unaffectedness which always characterises
him, and the entire party appeared to enjoy and appreciate
the admirable works of art they had some to see."

Her Majuity's ship Warrior will leave her moor-

an opportunity of seeing the noble ship to advantage in the
afternooo.

Yesterday a new fast steamer, the Victoria, made
her first voyage from Folkestone to Boulogne and back in the
extmonlinary Wet periods of 1 hour and 34 minutes and 1
hem and 33 minute* respectively, or at a rate of 20 miles
per hour. Ia the voyage over she encountered au adverse
sea, but only once or twice shipped any water. On the return
voyage a strong north wind was dead ahead of her. In tine
weather, therefore, she may be expeeed to do the 30 miles,
which is probably the course of the passenger steamers, in
1 ►our and 20 minutes. The present advertised time of the
reeipasy's boats is two hours and 10 minutes ; but with
each wind and sea as yesterday the ordinary boat. would
probably take 10 or 15 minutes longer. The saying in time
by the Victoria over the beets hitherto used may, there-
fore, be reckoned at three-quarters of an hour.
