THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

A reference to our Court Circular of yesterday
will show that the honour of knighthood was con-
ferred by her Majesty on Mr. Fox, Mr. Paxton, and
Mr. Wm. Cubitt. We have not yet been enabled to
ascertain in what manner it is intended to reward the
services of Mr. Barry, to whom the building is in-
debted for one of its most beautiful and striking fea •
tures—the noble circular transept roof. At the
meeting of the Commissioners on Thursday, at
Windsor, the principal objects which, we believe,
came under consideration were of a financial cha..
racter, and had reference mainly to the question of
the remuneration to ba given to those who have
afforded assistance in carrying out the Exhibition.
The total amount set apart for this purpose is con-
siderable, and such as will enable the Commissioners
to reward with a liberality which will satisfy alike
the public and the reasonable expectations of those
whose services have so well merited reward.. Among
the sums which we understand were decided upon
was one of 5,000/. for Mr. Paxton, for his design for
the building. A further sum of between 2,0001. and
3,0001. was agreed upon as rewards for the Sappers
employed in the building, and it was recommended
that the sum should be expended in the purchase of
articles which would be calculated to serve as useful
as well as pleasing memorials of the Exhibition. A
considerable sum was also ordered to be placed at the
disposal of Sir Richard Mayne, K.C.8., Commissioner
of Police, for the purpose of its distribution among
the members of the police force in attendance at the
Exhibition. A sum equal to four weeks' salary was
also ordered to be paid to all persons whose services
might be dispensed with at the close of the Exhibi-
tion.—Morning Paper.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPlL—Considerable interest
having been excited on the subject of this experiment, we
have much satisfaction in stating that all difficulties of an
official nature having been obviated, there is every reason to
believe that the connnunication between the two countries
will very shortly be in operation. Some gentlemen present
at the Bureau des Telegraphes in Paris on Thursday morn.
l•ng (October 23), in company with M. Foy, the director-in-
chief, and other gentlemen connected with the undertaking
requested that a message might be sent to the
IS•nougtur Foreland Lighthouse, near Dover, to inquire if Mr.
c- was still waiting there, and the answer, " That Mr.
C was on his way to London," reached theinin less than
one minute
and a half after the ulesaage had beeu dispatched
