me the greatest satisfaction to observe the works of
skill and industry of the North London working
classes. That which I have seen does the working
classes of North London the highest credit. (Cheers)
There are works of skill and ingenuity in carving,
in cabinet work, and in various kinds of profes-
sional art which would take me long indeed to enu-
merate, but which you will see for yourselves from
day to day, and which cannot fail of giving you
the highest satisfaction. I must confess that it
affords me pride and pleasure to be the fellow-
countryman of men who have so employed their
time, who have exhibited the greatest in.
gennity in the works they have performed, and
in that manner have done credit to the country
to which they belong. (Hear, hear.) Those who
first conceived the thought 'of this E ehibition of
Industry did but justice to the industry of their
countrymen, and I congratulate them on the great
success which has already attended their efforts. It
is in this manner that this country gives another
proof that the working classes of London are, as I
believe, the highest in the world—(cheers)—the
most distinguished in the works that they perform,
the most ready to accomplish any thing that may
be set before them, and thus making this great com-
munity that which it ought to be—the head of the
civilised world in all those works which betoken
civilisation and progress. Ladies and gentle.
men, we must all be thankful that it is permitted to
as by a gracious Providence to enjoy under the laws
of this country, under the safeguards of the mono
arohy of this country, that security by which time
can be made available, and every one can be certain
that if he is industrious, if he devotes his time to
works which do him credit, he will receive the
rewards of that industry. (Cheers.) It is therefore
that we ought to be thankful that an Almighty
power, under whom we enjoy so many benefits,
permits all classes to join together, we, who have
other works to perform, performing those works
on our part and the industrious artisans performing
the duties allotted to them, and all, I trust, com-
bined to raise the reputation of this great country.

tions of labour. I congratulate you upon them, and
I declare this Exhibition is opened from this time.
(Cheers.)
A special ode, appropriate to the occasion, written
by Mr W. H. Bellamy, and the music of which was
composed by Dr Wesley, was then charmingly sung
by Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Susan Pyne, Miss
Latter, Mr Elliot Geier, Mr Lewis Thomas, and the
choir. At its conclusion the Divice blessing was
invoked upon the undertaking by the Rev Robert
Maguire, M,A., incumbent of Cterken well, and "I
know that my Redeemer liveth" was sung by Miss
Louisa Pyne.
Mr DIGBY SEYMOUR, M.P., then stood forward
to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman. He
said, if anything could enhance the admirable ar-
rangements of the committee under whose auspices
the work had been undertaken and carried out, it
was the selection of the noble and illustrious person
who had presided at the opening ceremony. When
they looked back on the career of Lord Russell,
there was no public man, he thought, who had a
higher claim on the gratitude of the working
classes. (Cheers.) During a long public life his name
had always more or less been identified with the
welfare and progress of the people, social and poli-
tical, and no man had done more in his time to un-
shackle commerce and promote free trade, the bene-
fits of which were now experienced is every grade
of society. His labours had also tended to give a
material impetus to the intellectual development of
the working classes by the establishment of a cheap
press. He wished to give offence to no one, but he
hoped from the bottom of his heart that before the
sun of Russell set the noble earl would complete
the arch, so to speak, of the political emancipation
of the working classes, and that as he had been
their benefactor, socially and intellectually, his
would be the arm to achieve for them an equality of
political rights. (Cheers.) Looking to the effect and
tendency of exhibitions such as the one that had
just been opened, those classes would now have
more cause than ever to say—

in a thousand ways, truth at last gains the supre-
macy, and, under God, every evil will be abolished.
The choir and the assembly then sang the National
Anthem, Mss Louisa Pyne taking the solo parts.
Earl Russell presently afterwards took his leave,
escorted as before, the company cheering him as he
did so, and with that the ceremony concluded.
There was a concert in the evening, at which
portions of the music used at the opening were
repeated.

By far the larger portion of the Exhibition con-
sists of amateur contributions, and many of these
will be fcund exceedingly curious and interesting.
The remarkable proficiency attained by many exhi-
bitors in amateur workmanship can hardly fail to
afford encouragement to others who may visit the
Exhibition. That, indeed, is one of the chief aims
of its promoters. The committee decided at the
outset not to offer pecuniary premiums. They are,
at the same time, desirous that the prizes shall be
worthy mementoes of the occasion, and valued by
the holders as marks of distinction. The adjudi-
cators are Mr Thomas Winkworth, Mr Peter
Graham, Mr D. E. Clark, Mr G. F. Wilson, Mr J.
A. Nicholay, and Mr Digby Wyatt, with Mr P. Le
Neve Foster as secretary. Another opportunity
will occur of our noticing the objects in the Exhibi.
tion more in detail than was practicable on the
opening ceremony.
It remains to be stated that the Exhibition will
be opened daily from 9 in the morning till 5 in the
evening, admittance 6d. ; and from 7 till 10 in the
evening at a charge of 2d.

THERE IS NO CHARGE incurred, unless a tenant or pur-
_haser is introduced through Messrs. Lumley's Agency,
and then only the usual moderate commission.

ELSINORE, Thursday Night.

It is natural that the continuance of beautiful
weather should have induced their Royal Highnesses
to prolong their stay in Denmark beyond the period
which was originally contemplated. For the last
week or ten days the skies have been so favourable,
the sun so bright and warm, that by comparison
with the temperature at Stockholm one might almost
fancy this the south of France. There, on one or two
days during the royal visit, the cold began to make
itself felt in a manner that cut the system with a
raw, knifelike edge. Here, on the contrary, it is
quite possible to overheat oneself in walking, and in
sailing about the Straits during the middle of the
day an overcoat is quite unnecessary. On a light
warm afternoon there are few things more enjoyable
than the trip from Denmark to Sweden, or vice
versa, across the channel of three miles in width
that interposes between Fort Kronborg and the op•
posite pier of Helsingborg. The Straits are always
crowded with shipping, hundreds of vessels of all
nationalities anchoring close together, or it may be
striving simultaneously to make the best of any
breeze that rises. The water is so wonderfully clear,
attaining the true sea saltness only after currents
have set in from the Skager Rock for a couple of
days, that it is often possible to see right down to
the bottom, while in harbour, at a depth of 25 to 30
feet, shells or large stones can plainly be distin-
guished. The near approach of theshores of the two
kingdoms, their curved outlines, and the Island of
Tyco Brabe away in the direction of Copenhagen,
that seems almost a connecting link, contribute to
give the Straits at this point very much the aspect of
a lake—an impression which receives encouragement
from the small flocks of eider ducks perpetually
skimming over its surface, whose white backs create
an instinctive longing for a double barrel. Of the
two coasts the Swedish seems the richest, from
the fact that the cliff rising from the water's edge
to support the table land above is for the most part
thickly-crowded with trees in all the beauty of
autumnal foliage. The object, however, which pro-
minently attracts attention is the lofty tower of
brick, that looks in the distance as if meant to
rival the fort of Kronborg, bat on a nearer view
proves to be only a square and massive ruin that
with a moat serves to indicate where once there
must have been a formidable castle. The tower,
broader at the base than the Victoria Tower, snd
still 190 feet high, looks of even greater altitude,
from the fact that it occupies the highest point in
the landscape. It is pitted all over with a sort of
indented pattern, due to bricks that the builders
omitted at regular intervals ; and into these aper-
tures jackdaws or the small crows of the country
are for ever forcing themselves, hastening its decay
by scratching down debris and croaking that
monotonous dirge which is the gathering cry
of all their kindred round old buildings wher-
ever these exist. What the history, the legends,
the founders even of Helsingborg Castle may
have been is a story so old that it has been
forgotten centuries ago. Ite windy summit may
have served, with that rampart on which Hamlet is
fabled to have walked at Kronborg, as the twin
custodian of the Sound ; it may have been its rival
in the days before Denmark was strong enough to
insist that the defence of the channel should in all

(Hear.) He concluded by proposing that the thanks
of the meeting be tendered to Earl Russell, for pre-
siding at the opening ceremony of the Exhibition.
The motion having been seconded by Mr. G.
CRUICKSHANK, was carried with a:clamation, and
with "one cheer more for Lady Russell."

Earl RUSSELL—Ladies and Gentlemen,—I beg
to return you my heartfelt thanks for the honour
you have done me. To me it has been a very easy
arid delightful duty to preside at this ceremony.
that I myself have been a
working man from an early period of a long This at least I can say,
life—
(hear, hear)—and though I do not wish to enter
into any political discussion, you will perhaps per-
mit me to tell you what happened to me when 1
had the honour of being a member of Parliament
for the oity of London, A measure was brought
into
u Parliament,h and a very excellent measure as I
h
by Sir Robert Peel, for promoting freedom
of trade with regard to many articles of art and
togt,
manufacture. Many of those whom it affected came
to that while they were ex.. me, and complained
posed to competition, and while their trade would
be thrown open to all the nations of Europe and
theas
ald
r,
(I remember one man especially, who
w
with great difficulty that he could obtain one piece
of meat in the course of a week)—the bread which
world—(l
they ate was taxed, and they wished me to oppose
the measure. I said to them, "Permit me to tell
and who complained that it was
you that I think no such injustice as you apprehend
can long continue ; that if your trade is thrown open
to the competition of, the whole world you will not
find corn to be taxed for many years, but that you
will have the benefit of free trade along with others."
And so accordingly a few years afterwards a Bill
was introduced for the repeal of the corn law, and
free trade was extended, to the farmers and other
grades of society in this Country. With that
example before us I may well say that while
you pursue your industry—while you show the
industry and skill that yon do whenever any Ties•
tion arises in which your rights and privileges are
concerned, you will find that after some discussion
—for no great progress is made in this country by
any question until it has undergone a good deal of
soaking—(a laugh)—whatever is just and for the
common benefit is sure to be sanctioned by Parlia.
ment in the end. But allow me also to say that it
does not happen to ns in politics as it does to those
who work in some other ways. For instance, I saw
a machine to. day. by which, I think, the tensthou.
sandth part of a grain difference in weight could be
shown by an exceedingly nice and delicate balance.
I saw also a watch made to go exactly to the minute
and the second. Now, we who are engaged in politics
are not able to work with any much mechanical ac-
curacy; and therefore it well becomes you', as it has
become you in former times, to
patience and
confidence in the laws of your country. Perhaps it
is needless to tell you that in the great year 184 S,
when the streets of Paris and Vienna were deluged
with the blood of men fighting for their rights, and
while others perished in maintaining order, the
people of London rose in insurrection, but in insur-
rection on behalf of order and peace, and for the
maintenance of the laws and the constitutionaof their
country. (Cheers.) I trust such Rill be your cone
duct in future, as it was in 1848; for you may de•
peed upon it that this is a country in which, by
means of discussion, by means of the press, by means
of Parliament, by means of public opinion expressed

time be from Danish guns alone. Possibly it was
the residence of a viceroy in the time when Scania
was a Danish province ; and it certainly was,
among other objects •in the landscape, to shut out
that tower from sight that the windows of Kron-
borg Castle, commanding a view of the Swedish
coast, were walled up after the fatal peace of 1659,
when Scania was lost to Denmark for ever. All
that can now be said of it is that it still remains a
fact which can neither be overlooked nor accounted
for—an architectural tombstone with its inscription
effaced. From the point which it occupies there is
a fine view of the Danish coast, which is higher
than that of Sweden and less regular in its fea-
tures. With the aid of a good glass the promontory
12 miles off can be seen, on which is situated the
lighthouse of Nakkehoved, fixed upon for the pur-
poses of a picnic by the Royal party a few days ago.
The town of Helsingborg presents little deserving
of notice, although chronielers do fix upon it as the
site of a marriage consecrated with unusual splen-
dour in 1296 between Erik Menved and the Prin-
cess Ingeborg. A more reliable piece of testimony
to its antiquity and to the piety of some at least
of its inhabitants is afforded by a stone slab let into
the wall of an end house in the principal street.
Upon this a monograph supported by a shield is
carved, with the following inscription :—" 0
Domino t Benedic. Domain istam et omnes habi-
tantes in ea. Jacob Hansen Inger. Mogfusd. Anno
1641." Yesterday afternoon some little excitement
was created among the inhabitants by the report of
heavy guns on the opposite side of the Straits. Two
vessels of large size were approaching Elsinore, and
the foremost of these was saluting the fort. For a
moment, as well as could be seen amid the white
smoke of the successive discharges and the steam
which the frigate blew off as she slackened speed,
her ensign appeared to be English. This was rather
unaccountable, because her Majesty's ship Aurora
had left on Monday for Copenhagen, en route for
Kioje Bay, with a view to target price, and was not
expected back again so soon ; and English ships of
war are such black swans in the Baltic that the
arrival of two others would indeed have been an
event. Still, the wind being right astern, the flags
both of the first ship and of her consort were blown
against the rigging, so that it was all but impossible
to distinguish what they were. Eventually they were
made out to be Dannebrogs, and the ships accord.
ingly to belong to the Danish fleet. The leading ves-
sel was next recognised as the Niels Juel, the flag,hip
which distinguished herself so highly in the action
off Heligoland with the German fleet. But who was
her companion--the dark, sulky-looking ship, with
wicked snub-nose and straight black sides and rig-
ging, unrelieved by a touch of white paint any-
where, which the Admiral's ship was escorting with
as much pride and satisfaction as it she were the
veriest beauty that ever swam ? " Ironclad" was
stamped on every inch of her stern outline ; but
then she was larger than either the Rolf Krake or
the Dannebrog, the only two ironclads in the

Danish marine during the war. Upon inquiry one
learned that she was the vessel as to which, upon a
request to that effect being made, the Danish Mi-
nister so honourably pledged and kept his word
that she should not be removed from England dur-
ing the war, though her presence off the mouth of
the Elbe would alone have closed the navigation of
that river to German ships. Her appearance in the
Sound, coupled with the presence of English visi-
tors, suggested a few remarks to the following
effect, albeit they proceeded from the Swedish.side
of the Channel. " That is the vessel you would not
let un have when she could have done SO much
good." Oue of the party set himself to explain
that England in her neutral attituie could not act
otherwise than she had done, without gross viola•
tion of international good faith ; and hinted, rather
than said, that the Danes were too honest in making
the promise, and ought rather to have followed the
example of others across the Atlantic in substituting
strategy for deficiency of strength. This suggestion
as to the possibility of accomplishing their objects
by indirect means was much too subtle for the
straightforward Danes and Swedes. " See what
came of it" was their judgment upon the course
taken by the Confederates in stealing their own
ship—plainly implying that the reverse expe.
rienced by Captain Semmes in the sinking of the
Alabama was the direct and natural consequence
of her having been originally smuggled out of
Liverpool. The salute of the Niels Juel was
returned from Kronberg Castle, and both vessels
then proceeded on their way to Cope4hagep, where
it is expected that as soon as the ironclad is in com-
plete trim she will be visited by the King. On her
way from the United Kingdom she touched at a
point in Norway, and there received some impor-
tant additions to her equipment.
Her Majesty's ship Aurora is expected to return
here either to-night or to-morrow morning: The
Osborne, on her return from Travemunde, will pros
teed to Copenhagen with a view of coaling, and her
subsequent movements will be guided by the wish
of their Royal Highnesses as to their ultimate point
of departure. This is likely to take place about
the middle of next week, and there is a general
expectation that with a view of gratifying the
people of Copenhagen it will be decided to leave
from that city. The point, however, is quite an
open one. As regards mere facility of embarkation
Elsinore, no doubt, would be the chosen place.
