"By whomsoever these deeply interesting volumes are read, but
one op'nion will be pronounced—that of unqualified praise. Full of
striking incidents, graphic descriptions of scenery and events, racy
anecdotes, and accounts of moving accidents by flood and field, inter-
spersed with illustrations of the sure word of prophecy,' we have
tarely met with a work corn which we have derived so much plea-
sure and profit."--Messenger.

Cur IN A PIE•DISH.—The custom of placing an
inverted cup in a fruit pie, the cook will inform us, is to con-
tain the juice while the pie is baking in the oven, and pre-
vent its boiling over; and Elie is the more convinced in her
theory, because when the pie is withdrawn from the oven,
the cup will be found full of juice. When the cup is first
put in the dish it is full of cold air, and when the pie is
placed in the oven this air will expand by the heat and fill
the cup, and drive out all the juice and a portion of the pre-
sent air it contains, in which state it will remain until re-
moved from the oven, when the air in the cup will condense,
and occupy a very small space, leaving the remainder to be
filled with juice; but this does not take place till the danger
of the juice boiling over is past. If a small glass tumbler be
inverted in the pie, its contents can be examined into while
it is in the oven, and it will be found what has been ad-
vanced is correct,—Gower's Scientific Phenomena of Domes-

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Since the reduction of the charge for admission on
Saturdays the barrier of exclusiveness which pre-
viously hemmed in the Crystal Palace on that day
may be said to have been effectually broken down.
The merely fashionable loungers are fled, or nearly
so; and their presence can seldom be detected amidst
the vast body of persons of the well-to-do middle-
class of society who now make so formidable a show.
On Saturday last the number of visitors was very
great, and scarcely to be exceeded by the attendance
on any Saturday for months past. It was evident by
the perseverance with which they traversed the
various avenues that they were there determined to
make the best and the most of their time. Fine
weather and a balmy atmosphere too, combined with
the splendours of the Exhibition, had the effect of in-
ducing more than the ordinary number of invalids to
leave their couches, resort to the glass hive in Bath
chairs, and to the extent of their ability maintain the
industrial character of the scene. Throughout the
day the temperature of the building was exceedingly
agreeable, and the visitors being in no respect
straitened for space, and able to move to and fro
with facility, and without jostling against one another,
the view from the galleries of the transept and nave
wore an unusually animated and pleasing appearance
—animated and pleasing as it is at all times, even
under the least favourable circumstances.

face of their district, and of the works erected on it.
They then disclose the working beneath the surface.
Their ores are next exhibited, as well as their coal
and their fluxes for smelting the ores. Then come
their furnaces in well-executed working models, the
rough metal produced by those furnaces, and, finally,
the several kinds of refined manufactured iron. In
No. 417 is exhibited another useful iron manufacture
in the shape of tin plates from the Cwm-avon Works
in South Wales ; and the housewife who daily bolls
her kettle, and scours her saucepan, may here see
the plates from which they are formed by the skill of
the workman. The same Cwm-avon Works exhibit
a book of iron, the leaves of which are as fine as
coarse paper, and also a huge bar, 63 feet long, in the
form of a rail, which has been rolled in one continuous
length to exhibit the capability of the works for roll-
ing, but which, es if in burlesque upon its immobility,
has been placed amid other " machinery in motion."
Rich varieties of iron ore may be seen in the speci-
mens numbered 405 and 420, from the districts bor-
dering on Cumberland ; and in No. 423 we observe
some curious samples of iron lately brought into the
market from the lies formation, which promises to
give an industrial impulse in a part of the country
hitherto available only for agriculture.
The next metallic ore which attracts thi attention
is zinc, exibited by the Vieille Montague Company in
No. 437, and also in a throned statue of her Majesty,
which is placed in the east nave, and is rendered
more conspicuous by its peculiar tint of variegated
green. Zinc is a metal of comparatively recent in-
troduction into the more common domestic uses in
this country; but on parts of the continent, more
particularly in Belgium, its use is more extensive
than with us. Its cheapness and resistance against
atmospheric injury are much in its favour, while, on
the other hand, its want of tenacity prevents its appli-
cation to those numerous positions where strength is
required. At a considerable heat this metal will in-
flame by contact with a sufficient draught of air, and
may be made to burn with a brilliant light of bluish
white. The limestone ranges of Derbyshire, Flint-
shire, and Somerset are its principal localities in the
United Kingdom, and the wanderer through the
metropolis has only to cast his eyes up to our roofs
and chimney-tops to see a practical illustration of the
extent and infinite variety of shapes in which this
mineral may be employed in aid of the faulty chim-
ney-flues constructed by our architects and builders.
The ores of copper attract attention by their num-
ber, and the evident care and completeness with
which they have been prepared for exhibition by va-
rious contributors. Cornwall supplies by far the
greater portion of specimens, but Wales has also con-
tributed, although not in proportion to the wealth
and extent of her marketable supply ; and Ireland,
while generally delighting to show that she has gold
in some of her recesses, rather than copper or the
more ordinary metals, has creditably added to the
stores of the Exhibition, through the medium (chiefly)
of the Dublin Society fur the Encouragement of Na-

(From the Times.)
We hear that to-morrow a meeting of the Royal
Commission will be held to settle finally certain mat-
ters on which it is necessary to come to a decision
before the Queen and the Prince leave for Balmoral.
As the public will readily conjecture, the principal
questions thus about to be discussed are, no doubt,
the exact date on which the building should close,
and the manner in which that event should take place.
On the first point, it seems probable that an early day
in October will be fixed for the purpose, as otherwise
contributors from the north of Europe may have their
goods overtaken by the winter ice; and, under any
circumstances, at that period the pleasure-seeking
season of the year is over. We may therefore
fairly take it for granted that the building will close
on some day before the middle of October.
Upon this arise a variety of questions, which it is
necessary that the Commission should dispose of at
once, and the proper solution of which will require
the exercise of much care and discretion. Shall the
Great Exhibition terminate as it commenced, with
a State ceremonial, giving solemnity and honour to
the last act of its existence, or shall it go out quietly,
and after the ordinary fashion, without pomp or
show ? That is the first point to settle. Suppose
it is arranged that there shall be a ceremony, then
the question arises what ought to be its character,
so as to render it effective and worthy of the occa-
sion ? It is a natural feeling that would connect
with the closing day a ceremonial in which merit
should be recognised by Roye 1-y, and we believe
that when the scheme of the Great Exhibition was
first started some indirect hopes of such an honour
were held out by Prince Albert. The public, how-
ever, is reasonable, and will not expect in this
matter more than is practicable. Supposing all
other difficulties removed it would be clearly too
much to ask the Queen to present even the great
medals. Such a task would occupy too much
time, and be tedious as a spectacle. It does not,
however, by any means follow that on this account
the Exhibition should be closed quietly, and without
a ceremonial suitable to so remarkable an event. So
lame and impotent a conclusion would, we think,
cause general disappointment, and be especially
unpleasing to the large and influential body of men
who, as jurors, exhibitors, or in some other capacity,
have laboured and made many sacrifices for the
success of this great undertaking. It will not do to
behave unhandsomely, or to give scope for grumbling
now that the success of the Exhibition is undeniable,
and no one can doubt that, with patience, good
management, and a generous condescension, the
harmony and goodwill which have hitherto prevailed
need not be disturbed.
As for the prizes, though the names of the successful
competitors will of course be announced at once,
months will no doubt elapse before the medals
commemorative of their triumphs can all be prepared
and distributed. We trust, however, that these
decorations will nut be quite so long delayed as those
of our Peninsular veterans. It has been rumoured
for some time, and is generally believed, that every
exhibitor will be presented with a medal as a memorial
of his contributions, though he may not have been
fortunate enough to carry away a prize. This will no
doubt contribute much to heal jealousies and soothe
disappointments.
Proceeding with our examination of the mineral
wealth of the United Kingdom, we find next in order,
as exhibited along the south side of the Crystal Pa-
lace, a most abundant and well-arranged series of
specimens of our staple ores, viz., iron, lead, tin, and
copper, accompanied by snaps and working plans and
sections, and models of the mines or strata in which
they lie, and of the modes by which they are ex-
tracted and brought into marketable condition. Our
iron ores are, happily, so associated with our deposits
of coal that to illustrate the extent and position in the
present day of almost any iron-bearing district in
the United Kingdom, except in Devon and Cornwall,
necessarily involves the view of a coal-field, and, ac-
cordingly, in this quarter of the Exhibition are also
grouped a most interesting collection of models
of collieries and specimens of their produce.
We may especially draw attention to No. 273 for
the instruction of the visitor, but it is impossible to
give too much credit to the numerous individuals—
in tnany cases " working men"—who have devoted
their tie. and skill in contributing to the view of
England'sthvited guests the miniature illustrations
of the basis of England's wealth. Igo other portions
of the Exhibition, whether colonial or foreign, show
so much ekill and attention to illustrate the practical
operations of that large class of our population occu-
pied in producing the coarser species of wealth ; and
no portion of the Exhibition, not even that occupied
by our machinery, with its almost self-creating
powers, can
.give to the inquirer a better view of the
intimate springs out of which have arisen, and of the
resources upon which rest, the power and stability of
the nation. To obtain a clear insight into the iron
districts of the United Kingdom, we may first exa-
mine the, table of Mr. 131ackwell, Nc. 427. Here we
find the several districts in which iron ore occurs
marked out by lines on the table, and their relative
importance is tolerably well indicated by a glance at
the respective extents of these spaces. In this respect
South Wales stands first ; but we must not imagine
that the quality of iron in any one district is con-
comitant with its extent.
The extreme variety to be met with in the quality
of ores is one of those simple means by which Provi-
dence appears to have designed to arouse the intelli-
gence, and at the same time to render more intimate
the connexion of man with his fellows. Thus no one
iron foundry is ro perfect in the make of iron from
its own produce as it is enabled to become by
mixing its own ores with those from adjoining
or distant works; and in this way South Wales
forms a useful connexion with Staffordshire, with
the Dean Forest, and even with Lancashire, which
is mutually beneficial to the maker of iron and to
the public who consume his products. Besides the
above districts we have the Shropshire, the North
Wales, the Wrest Cumberland, Northumberland, Der-
byshire, the Yorkshire has district (which is die-
tinct from the Great lorksbire coal and iron field),
and the isolated districts of Devon and Cornwall,
which send to the furnaces a description of ore well
calculated for the production of steel. Our fore-
fathers were more limited in their choice of ores,
and the small space
assigned on Mr. Blackwell's
table to the Sussex specimens may well illustrate the
Comparison of the make of iron in Great Britain 100
amounted. to about 30,000
years ago, which then
tons, whereas in 1850 the make is supposed to have
amounted to more than 80 times that quantity, or
two million and a half tons!. This general review
of the iron-bearing districts of England is surrounded
by particular illustrations of the mineral produced,
and the mode of turning it to marketable account
in each locality. The Butterley Company exhibits,
in No. 400, the iron of Derbyshire in its various
stages. Staffordshire is ably illustrated in No. 411,
by specimens of the various
." makes" of iron, from
the coarsest " pig" to the finest wrought " bars ;"
and No. 416 may be consulted as exhibiting, on one
side, the rough block of ore, and, on the other, its
product worked out by the skill and industry of the
artisan into the form of a highly ornamental drawing-
room grate, with its accompanying fender and fire-
iror s
The Ebbw Vale Company have sent from South
Wales perhaps the most complete illustration in the
Cryst 11 Palace of the whole process of working this
valtiable mineral. They show a model of the sur-

tive Industry.
The Cornish specimens will afford to the visitor
the most comprehensive view of our copper ores, as
affording a beneficial source of national industry.
We may draw attention more particularly to No.
453, supplied by the Redruth local committee. The
ore is exhibited in the states in which it is found by
the miner and picked out by him, and his working
operations in the mines are illustrated by the models
and drawings (451, 452, and 524). The ore in these
rude states may be compared with the lumps of
native copper, Nos. 454, 517, and 518, which the
miner sometimes stumbles upon in the course of his
working. The lumps of rocky ore, when brought to
the surface, are stamped or pounded into small
gravel, and these particles are washed in some cases
by hand, and in others by machinery, in such way
that each process separates the heavier or more metal-
lic particles from those which contain less metal and
by consequence are lighter. The latter rising to the
top are swept off from the bucket or sieve in order to
be again put to the washing test, and eventually (as
seen by the specimens before us) the various degrees
are assorted on the mine floors, which are yards pre-
pared in a convenient position among the mine build-
ings for the purpose. Some of the machinery for
pumping as used in Cornish mines may be seen in
the room with " machinery in motion," but we have
not observed any model which gives us anything like
an illustration of that beehive of activity and industry
to which a Cornish mine may be likened during those
frequently recurring periods when the ores, having
been reduced to the powdered states in which the se-
veral qualities can with some degree of certainty be
ascertained, are being laid out in their respective
" sample heaps."
To this 'activity and the peculiar management
which leads to it we may hereafter advert, bearing as
it does in an important degree upon the moral and
social position of the Cornish miner. 'We must,
however, now turn to the Swansea Committee, No.
473, who (literally receiving the ores from Cornwall
for the simple reason that it has been found cheaper
and better to take the ore to the coal, which is in
South Wales, than to bring the coal over to the ore
in Cornwall) show us their process of roasting the
ores and of smelting out the copper into the several
states refined so as to suit the various purposes of the
market. I❑ this place the visitor may advanta-
geously compare the different specimens of ores from
abroad and those from the United Kingdom, which
come alike to be smelted in the coal-bearing districts
of South Wales. A few years ago the restrictive
duties on the admission of ores from abroad con-
fined the operations of the smelter chiefly to ores
purchased in the home market, and the practical
operation of the duty in addition to this limita-
tion also tended to stimulate the erection of
smelting works in other coals bearing districts
abroad. It was foreseen that the British smelter
would receive an advantage if the duty were removed,
but it was also apprehended by many practical men
that this advantage would be gained at the expense
of the British miner, whose ores not only contain a
smaller quantity of metal than many foreign ores in
proportion to the mass, but whose mines are more
nearly worked out and more difficult and expensive to
work than some of the virgin districts abroad. Hap-
pily the advantage has been gained and the fear
proved groundless. The smelting trade has largely
increased, and the British miner was never employed
to greater extent than during the last year or two in
which the change of duty has come into practical
bearing.
The tin trade is also illustrated aide by side with
copper in several specimens between Nos. 440 and
469, especially in the processes as shown by Messrs.
Bolitho (440), and in the block shown in No. 468,
which by traditionary lore is supposed to have been
smelted for the ancient trade of the Phoenicians.
The Crown receives a duty or Lordship on tin pro-
duced in Corn wall and Devon, and this circumstance
has materially hampered the producer, not only by
rendering it necessary that he shall smelt his ores at
certain spots in Cornwall, sometimes distant from the
sites where the ore is found, but also by compelling
him to comply with certain forms which occasion de-
lay in the execution of orders, and tend to keep the
trade in that position which requires a large capital
for its development. 'With this explanation the
model of Messrs. Bolitho may be regarded as a partial
representation of smelting-houses erected by them
close to their residences, and coming under the class
of works which the industry of Englishmen has
forced into successful operation notwithstanding the
pressure of fiscal difficulties.
Lead is the next mineral of well-known impor-
tance that is exhibited in the section of minerals
belonging to the United Kingdom, and in the metho-
dical manner by which the principal producers of
this article have endeavoured to illustrate their
works, they are second to none in the Crystal Pa-
lace. The principal lead mines are in Durham and
Cumberland, next comes those of North Wales, and
some in Scotland, and the remainder of our home
supply is furnished by Cornwall, Devon, and Shrop-
shire.
Lead is rarely, if ever, found in a native or pure
state. Its admixture with oxides, carbonates, sul-
phurets, and other extraneous matters, makes it im-
portant that the processes of purification should be
as simple and little expensive as possible, so that the
British producer may be able to vie with his foreign
rival, whose ores are purer. In this light the visitor
may view with interest the illustrations by which
(as in Nos. 483 and 484) are shown the ore as first
raised, the breaking or crushing, and washing of the
ore, so as to assort it in relative degrees of value—
then the roasting and smelting, and, finally the re-
fining and extracting its more valuable co-partner,
silver. The latter process depends upon the
peculiar property of lead when molten and slowly,
cooling to consolidate in crystals, while silver re-
tains its fluid state for a longer period. Taking
advantage of this, Mr. Pattinson, some years ago,
introduced the repeated refinery, by separation of the
crystals, leaving a final residuum of lead with a quan-
tity of silver in it of such value as to render the loss
of the lead a matter of little consequence. This lead
is then driven off from the silver by cupellation (a
mode of analysing by fusion in a cup called a
" ctipel,") and the silver remains to enrich the returns
of the lead minee as exhibited by the Duke of Buc-
cleuch in No. 509, and by Mr. Sopwith in his massive,
shield-like lump of this precious miner4l,
The remainder at the mineral kingdom is less prc•
