" There are retiring rooms, lavatories, &c., in the north-
east transept and the south-east transept; adjoining Eshi-
bition-road, and in the northwest transept and south-west
transept adjoining Prince Albert's-road. There are also
two retiring rooms for ladies only, in the galleries on the
south side of the building, adjoining Cromwell-road. A
moderate charge is made for the use of waiting rooms.

to our colonies, though not crowded, had a long
train of visitors passing through them all the day.
Th cotton staples exhibited in the Queensland-court
were very closely inspected; and the highly polished
woods, too, exhibited in this department seemed to
attract great admiration. There were not many
visitors in the mcdimval department, which does
not seem to be very extensively discovered as yet,

zealous Ntutienti. speaking generally, the British
and Colonial end of the building is much nearer to
completion then the fcrdgn departrnerts. Traycl-
g watv, .11d, is is only vim: we have crossed the
line whic,th geographically cuts the building in two
that we come to any very remarkable signs of un-
readiness. Switzerland, for instance, at the present
moment, is virtually unrepresentcd ; and in the
Turkish department there is nothing to be seen but
a long array of unopened cases and unpacked bales.
France has made marvellous progress within the last
three days, though the treasures which she exhibits
are not yet sufficiently unfolded to allow of any
judgment being passed on them as a whole. Sevres
certainly shows some magnificent works, but even
from the cursory view which we have as yet been
able to take, the Imperial department is not to be
congratulated on its departure from its recognised
types. The imitations of Messrs. Minton's majolica
ware are decidedly not successful. Austria and the
Zollverein, though some blanks yet remain to be
filled up, are ready for any amount of visitors, and
the Austrian department, apparently from the signs
it at present shows, will be as popular as it was in
the Exhibition of 1861. The Brazilian collection
appears to be very admirably arranged. The
Eastern Annexe, which contains some very inte-
resting articles in the chemical and mineralogical
departments, was not as crowded as it deserves.
Mr. Rimmel's perfumed fountain has already begun
to play, and Mr. Breidenbach and Messrs. Piesse
and Lubin are also preparing to distil sweet odours
through the air of their court after the same
fashion, The fine statue of Shakspeare by Mr.
Thomas has been at last unveiled, and though most
unfavourably placed, it shows well, and relieves the
very prosaic neighbourhood in which it finds itself.
The canopy and throne erected under the western
dome, have not yet been removed, and yesterday
they were closely inspected by crowds of visitors
who had no opportunity of approaching it on
Thursday.
The name of Sir Roderick Murchison was acci-
dentally omitted in our list of the Royal Commis-
sioners of 1851 who took part in the.procession of
Thursday. It may perhaps also save some misap-
prehension if we state that the gentlemen who wore
the Albanian costume on Thursday was not Mr.
Drummond Woolf, the Chief Commissioner for the
lonian Islands, but Mr. Spiridion Morcorou, the
Assistant-Commissioner.
The Juries of the International Exhibition begin
their labours on the 7th inst. The Council of Chair-
men, which regulates the affairs of the Juries, and
which forms the only court of appeal in regard to
their awards, meets today (Saturday) at 12 o'clock.
The following is a correct list of the Council, each
nation having chairmen in proportion to the space
occupied by it in the building.
President—Right Hon. Lord TAUNTON.

A deputation had an interview yesterday with

and Mr. H. Ashworth.
Col. W. PATTEN stated that the object of the de-
putation was to confer with the President of the
Poor .law Board on the subject, which he (Col. W.
Patten) had given notice to bring before the House
of Commons, viz., the present state of the cotton
manufacturing districts. He described the destitu-
tion which prevailed in Lancashire, and expressed
his doubts as to the adequacy of the poor law to
meet it. He referred also to the stringency of the
conditions on which relief was administered.
Mr. VILLIERS remarked that ,the distress varied
in interest in different localities. The distress rather
diminished in the third week of April as compared
with the fourth week of March. He explained the
provisions of the order of Dec., 1852, for regulating
out-door relief. The order had reference to able-
bodied male persons only; the relief of other classes
of poor persons being in the unfettered discretion
of the guardians. With regard to able-bodied men,
the order required that one-half at least of the relief
should be given in food, fuel, or other articles of ab-
solute necessity ; that the relief should be given
weekly, or oftener ; that it should not be given
while the applicant was employed for wages; and
that he should be set to work so long as he con-
tinued to receive relief. If the guardians deemed
it expedient to depart from any of these regulations
they could do so, if they reported the departure to
the Poor-law Board within 21 days, and the relief
given in the meantime would be lawful. He re-
futed the allegation which was made in some_of the
newspapers, that guardians required that applicants
for relief should sell their furniture before they
could be relieved. In reply to inquiries on the sub-
ject, he was assured by poor law inspectors of 27
years' experience that they were not awaro of a
single instance of the kind. Mr. Villiers explained
the steps taken by the board in view of the pressure
which was anticipated in the manufacturing dis-
tricts ; the arrangements which the boards of
guardians made for dealing with it, the ample
power which they possessed; and suggested the
desirableness of leaving the matter at present in
the hands of the guardians, who were performing
their duties very efficiently.
Mr. Potter, General Lindsay, Mr. Aspinall Tur-
ner, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Hornby, Mr. Cobbett, Mr.
Cornwall Legh, and other-members took part in the
conference.
