THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
Amtn,,7 the earliest of- those who visited the Crystal
Pdaca this day was her Majesty, who, accompanied by
Prince Albert, the Prince and PTiacess of Prussia, and
the royal suite, arrived shortly after nine o'clock and re-
mained until halt- ~2st eleven.
The concourse of visitors during the day was exceed-
ingly numerous, but not so as to render pa.sage up
and down inconvcraent, although not one single de-
patment appeared deserted. The preparations are ad-
vancing at a rapid rate; workmen are still busy in some
parts ofthe *Ming, but in a few days everything will
be complete, and the occasional din of hammers which
salutes the ear banished entirely.
On Monday the price ol'admiasion is re lured to 55.,
and we,Autveno doubt but that every aisle and corner of
the building will be crowded.

• MINI ,-G INTELLIGENCE.
--(rni2m the Mining Journal of this day.)
The business'of the week in mines of all descriptions has
been on a limited Scale, but without perceptible diminution
of the amount of inquiry for them. We look forward to a
changing state of things, as regards the capital offering for
investment, in consequence of the large sums which have
been paid on either worthless or speculative projects in pre-
miums alone, to the manifest detriment of investments of a
solid character, either dividend or other first-rate mines.
The accounts from both Devon and Cornwall are, in several
instances, highly gratifying-sudden improvements having
taken place in the lodes, and greatly e..lanced prices paid or
demanded for the shares iu consequence. Although it ap-
pears still difficult for the uninitiated to resist the fascina-
tions of a flattering, prospectus, we consider it our duty to
repeat the warreng of caution we have so frequently ven-.
tured upon, and particularly where the unsound proposition i
is made of large paid-up capital.
In the Metal-market_ Copper is firm, and moves off steadily.
Lead is in good clifiiiiiid. English Tin is very quiet, and not
a single transaction is reported in foreign; prices quite nomi-
nal. Tin-plates are again lower; but there is a tolerable de-
mand. Spelter has been sold to the extent of 300 tons; the
stcck on the 30th of
,April was 11,017 tons. Yellow Metal
Sheathing in fair request,
Bar Silver declined yesterday %d. per oz., which, with
the anticipated reductiva in the price of Quicksilver so talked
of, has created in the minds of a few an ungrounded
alarm as to the effect it will have upon our sisver-lead
mines. We entertain no such fears; the trifling reduction
made will scarcely beafelt by one of our home mines, and the
more prosperous of them are note to be intimidated by the
visionary riches in prospective from abroad. -
