711 E INIERNATIONAL EXHIBIT lON.

The work of clearing oat the interior has made
very rapid progress during the last few days. On
the English half of the building, both from floor and
gall eroief course, such
everything has been removed, ex-

keep their places in the nave and transepts. Min-
ton's fountain also remains intact, but, waterless and
silent now, is quite in keeping with the cold, inani-
mate aspect of the whole interior. Most of the
trophy cases are in process of removal, very many
have gone; even the timekeeper of the building and
general rendezvous for meetings and appointments
—Benson's great clock—has at last ceased to strike,
and gone the way of all the other clocks. With the
general removal, however, the fine proportions of
the building, thus seen comparatively clear for the
first time, become more striking every day. On
the foreign aide, Portugal, Switzerland, Hamburg,
Mecklenburg, and Bavaria have entirely departed,
and Austria's splendid show is only represented by
a few costly articles which have been bought in
this country but not yet delivered. Her very small
stock of unsold goods was removed from the
building a few days after the closing. France
is likely to be the last to leave the field, though
sbe has sent off more than 2,000 packages dur-
ing the last fortnight—a very great amount of
in his market. No

THE BREADALBANE ESTATES.—The Stirling
Journal states that little is yet known definitely about the
destination of the unentailed portion of the estates, and the
immense private portion of the late Marquis. His rental
was about £60,000 a-year from land, besides a large income
from other sources. The rental of the entail estates, which
come into Tapossession of the present Earl, is about £40,000
a-year, whi e a great many of the fine works of art, &c., in
Taymouth stle and the other family seats are also en-
tailed. We have heard that the executors of the late Mar-
quis are likely to be the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl of
Camperdown, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Jerviswoode,
Lord Kinnaird, Mr. Laurence Davidson. It appears, how-
ever, from a legal notice which was on Wednesday posted
on the notice-paper of the Sheriff Court of Perthshire that
the succession to the Earldom is to be disputed, It is said
that the late Marquis was married before, and that a son by
that marriage is alive. If the case comes before the Court
the public may expect some wonderful disclosures. The
new claimant is Lieut. Donald Campbell, late of the 57th
Regt.—the recognised heir of the late Marquis being Mr.
John Alexander Gavin Campbell, of Glenfalloch, a lineal
descendant of a younger branch of the family.
MEETING OF THE GREEKS IN LIVERPOOL.—In
accord with their brethren in Greece and elsewhere the
Greek population of Liverpool were to meet last evening at
their church in Canning-street. The impression in Liver-
pool was that the Greek residents of Liverpool, following
the example of their compatriots elsewhere, would unani-
mously Hied Fri Ace Alfred as the futuvo Xi,ug of (Woof
