North London Working Classes' Industrial

Exhibition.

Yesterday Earl Russell formally opened the
above named exhibitio❑ in the Agricultural-hall,
Islington, in the presence of an immense concourse
of people, all of whom were admitted by ticket at
the prices of 2s. 63. and ls. each. The noble earl

arrived at the hall at three o'clock, and was con-
ducted to a platform by the committee of officers,
He was accompanied by Lady Russell and Lady
Amelia Romilly, and was enthusiastically cheered
as he walked up the body of the hall and took the
seat assigned him. On and about the platform
were the Rev. Daniel Wilson, vicar of Islington ;

the Rev. Robert Maguire, incumbent of Clerken-
well ; Mr Bodkin, the Assistant• Judge ; Mr Peter
Le Neve Foster, secretary to the Society of
Arts; the Reverend Canon Champney, Mr.
Digby Seymour, M .P., Mr. George God-
win, Mr. George Cruickshank, and Mr. Nicho-
lay. On the noble Earl taking the chair, the cere-
mony commenced by a choir of 1,000 voices singing
the Old -Hundredth Psalm, accompanied by the
grand organ, which was played by Dr. Wesley,
organist of Winchester Cathedral and College.

Mr. WATTS, the hon. secretary, read a report of
the managing committee, composed of working men,
stating the circumstances under which the Exhibi-
tion had been set on foot. They were encouraged,
they said, to undertake it from the success which
attended a Working Man's Exhibition in the south
of London, and from a conviction that there was
much talent among the working classes which lay
dormant for want of fitting opportunities' for, its
exercise and appreciation. They eventually resolved
to form a North London Exhibition, including the
districts of Clerkenwell, Isling‘on, St. Pancras, St.
Luke's, Hoxton, St. Andrew's Holborn, and Blooms•
bury, but not excluding exhibitors from other parts
of the metropolis should the committee have suffi-
cient space at their disposal. It was to consist of
objects manufactured by the exhibitors, either as
specimens of skilled workmanship, or examples of
self-taught handicraft, and they had been greatly
assisted in carrying out the project by local com-
mittees. They at length placed themselves in coma
munication with the directors of the Agricultural
Hall, who entered into the scheme in a friendly and
encouraging spirit, and offered them the use of their
large hall upon liberal terms. With the aid of Mr
Foster, the secretary to the Society of Arts, they
appointed adjudicators to award the prizes from
among the council of the Society. The committee
referred in passing to the success attending their
guarantee fund for carrying out the objects of the
Exhibition. The amount promised, if needed,
was £350, £5O of which had been gnarana
teed by Miss Burdett Coutts, and £lOO by
Mr. Samuel Morley. The exhibitors were 866
in number, and the articles shown by them

occupied b,93oft. of wall, 2,012 ft. of counter, and
1,750 ft. of floor. The classification adopted was as
follows : Ist, professional workmanship--2d,
amateur productions-3d, • inventions and novel
contrivances-4th, mechanical models-sth, archi-
tectural, marine and ornamental models-6th, artis•
tic objects-7th, ladies' work of all kinds--Bth,
miscellaneous articles. These classes are thus re-
presented ;—Class 1, skilled, 233-2, amateurs, 98
—3, inventions, 91-4, mechanical models, 56-5,
marine, 30, and ornamental, 75-6, artistic, 165-
7, ladies' work, 75-8, miscellaneous, 85. It was
impossible to refer to all who had kindly assisted in
the undertaking, but special mention was made of
Miss Louisa: Tyne, Miss Leffler, Mr. Gayler, Mr.
Thomas, Dr. Wesley, Mr. W. H. Bellamy, and
Mr. Glenn Wesley, for their kind and gratuitous
services in the musical department.
At the conclusion of the report, of which the
above is a summary, the Chairman inspected the
exhibition. On his return to the platform,
Earl RUSSELL said,—Ladies and gentlemen, I
have to congratulate you on the exhibition which I
have just been permitted to witness, It has given

me the greatest satisfaction to observe the works of
kill 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-

siunal art which-would take me long indeed to enu-
merate, but which you will see for yourseivr.s from
d).y to day, and which cannot fail of giving you

he highest satisfaction. I must confess that it

affcrds me pride and pleasure to be the fellow-
countryman of men who have so employed their
time, who have exhibited the greatest in%
genuity in the works they have performed, and

n that manner have done credit to the country

:o which they belong. (Hear, hear.) Those who

first conceived the thought 'of this hibition of

Industry did but justice to the industry of their

countrymen, and I congratulate them on the great

success which has already attonded 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 anything 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

us by a gracious Providence to enj3y under the laws
of this coun6l, under the safeguards of the mom,

archy of this country, Hist security by which time

can be made available, and every one e Can be certain

hat 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 A trust, com-

bined to raise the reputation of this great country.
(Cheers.) I was happy to accede to the proposal
when a wish was expressed that I should attend

here to=day and preside at the opening of this Ex-
hibition, and I must say that I had no conception
when I acceded to that wish that the works of in.

dastry which were to be shown would betoken so
much skill and such beautiful results of the opzra•
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. IL Bellamy, and the music of which was
Dr Wesley, was then charmingly sung
Pyne, Miss Susan Pyne, Miss
cboymNploisssed
Lbyouisa
Lt filer, Mr Elliot Galer, Mr Lewis Thomas, and the
choir. At its conclusion the Divine blessing was
invoked upon the undertaking by the Rev Robert
Maguire, M,A., incumbent of Clerken well, and "I
know that my Redeemer liveth" was sung by Miss

Louisa Pyne.
Mr DIOBY 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.) Daring 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 in 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-

e o n

he

(Hear.) He tat 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 acclamation, and
with " one cheer more for Lady Russell."
Earl RUSSELL—Ladies and Gentlemen,—l beg
to return you my heartfelt thanks for the honour
you have done me. To me it has been a very easy
and delightful duty to preside at this ceremony.
This at least I can say, that I myself have b3en a
working man frcm an early period of a long 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 city of London, A measure was brought
into Parliament, and a very excellent measure as I
thought, by Sir Robert Peel, for promoting freedom
of trade with regard to many articles of art and
manufacture. Many of those whom it affected came
to me, and complained that while they were ex.
posed to competition; and while their trade would
be thrown open to all the nations of Europe and
the world—(l remember one man especially, who
was a shoemaker, and who complained that it was
with great difficulty that he could obtain one piece
of meat in the course of a week)—the bread which
they ate was taxed, and they wished me to oppose
the measure. I said to them, "Permit me to tell
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 u you show the
industry and skill that you do whenever any ques-
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 Palle.
ment in the end. But allow me also to say that it
does not happen to us 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 tenethous
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 such mechanical ac-
curacy; and therefore it well becomes your, as it has
become you in former times, to show patience and
confidence in the laws of your country. Perhaps it
is needless to tell you that in the great year 1843,
when the streets o! 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 constitution of their
country. (Cheers.) I trust such will be your cone
duct in future, as it was in 1848; for you may des
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

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 Nation al
Anthem, Mss Louisa Pyne taking the solo parts.
FAH nu:sell 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, agd 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 S.
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.

The Prince and Princess of Wales in

Denmark.

(From the times' Special Correspondent.)
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 opi.
posit° 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, shella or large stones can plainly be distin-

guished. The near approach of the shores of the two
kingdoms, their curved outlines, and the Island of
Tyco Brahe 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, but 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, and
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 sman 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. Its 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
time be from Danish guns alone. Possibly it was
the residence of a viceroy in the time when Scenic

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 Scanin 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 chroniclers do fix upon it as the
site of a marriage consecrated with unusual splen-
dour in 1296 between Erik Menved and the Prin-
cess Ingiborg. 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
Domine t Benedic. Domum istam et mines habi.
tantes in ea. Jacob Hansen Inger. Mogfusd. Anno
1641.1' 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 Dannebroge, and the ships accord-
ingly to belong to the Danish fleet. The leading vea-
sel was next recognised as the Niels Juel, the flagship
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 ironelads in the
