THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Yesterday the receipts at the doors amounted to
2,859/. 75., the number of visitors being 60,382. A
table, showing the arrivals from hour to hour each
day, and complete from the commencement of the
month, is now placed in the transept, and attracts
great attention.
The following memorial has been addressed to the
Executive Committee by the attendants employed
by exhibitors:—
" The Memorial of the undersigned, the Attendants
employed in the Great Exhibition,
" Showeth,—That we your memorialists having heard
that the Royal Commissioners have finally closed their
sittings, we beg most respectfully to bring to your no-
tice and consideration the following statement

" That your memorialists are fully alive to the ar-
duous duties which the Royal Commissioners end the
Exocutive Committee have had to perform, and the di-
fficulties with which they have had to contend, so as to
give satisfaction to all the exhibitors and others who
have so ably come forward to lend their assistance. to
promote this great work ; but that your memorialist
feel assured that this great work could not have been
brought to its successful termination without their active
co-operation.
" That your memorialist having heard that some of the
police have been, and that others are about to be re-
warded for the services they have rendered to the
World's Fair, beg most respectfully to suggest that some
small reward or memento be given to them for the part
they have performed, more especially to those employed
in the machinery department, many of whom have left
their wives and families, and have come from great dis-
tances to fit up the wondrous machines exhibited by
their employers, and have thereby had the expense of
two homes to keep, and who have always been found at
their posts in an atmosphere varying from 70 to 100
degrees of Fahrenheit, such atmosphere rendered the
more prejudicial to their health in consequence of the
vapour arising from waste steam and the smell of the
anti-attrition compound used in the lubricating of the
machinery, and many of the attendants have had serious
inroads made upon their constitutions.
" That your memorialists (British as well as foreign)
are not aware of any complaints ever having been made
against any of their body for incivility or other miscon-
duct, but have always been punctual at their stands,
ready, and feeling a pleasure and pride in explaining the
wonderful machines and works of art under their care,
giving alike to the prince and the peasant every infor-
mation required by them.
" That under the circumstances your memorialists
hope that the Executive Committee will use their influ-
ence with the Royal Commissioners to obtain for us a
favourable consideration of this our application, and not
allow us to return to our homes, and this great work to
pass away, without some smell token for the services
we have rendered.

" And your memorialists will ever pray, &C.

(The above memorial was signed by nearly 200 of the
attendants in the building.)
To this application the following reply was re-
turned :

" Office for the Executive Committee,
Exhibition Building, Sept. 15,1851.

" Sir,—l am directed to acknowledge the receipt of
your communication, and to say that whilst the Execu-
tive Committee are willing to bear testimony to the
useful services of the attendants of the Exhibition, they
have to inform them that the decisions of her Majesty's
Commissioners in respect to the award of medals apply
only to exhibitors; and that the due recognition and
appreciation of the services of the attendants who were
employed by the exhibitors rest with the exhibitors
themselves.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

" J. WADE.
(For M. D. Wyatt, Secretary.)
" Mr. H. Rouse (Attendant in Class 6)."

We most readily bear testimony to the zeal with
which the attendants have discharged their duties ;
and we trust that, from whatever source it comes,
some acknowledgment may be made to them for the
important services they have rendered throughout
this great undertaking.

A memorial has been presented to the Royal Com-
mission from the city of Bristol, advocating the ap-
propriation of the surplus to the scheme of a colle-
giate institution in London, somewhat resembling
the Central School of Arts and Manufactures in
Pavia. The memorialists, in strong terms, press
upon the attention of the Commission the import-
ance to our industrial classes of a sound, scientific,
and practical education ; and they express their hope
that this species of education may " not be be con-
fined to one locality," but rendered as diffusive as
possible.

Yesterday the mean temperature in the building,
according to Bennett's thermometers, was 64.4.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

--- - - -
Yesterday among the visitors at the Mansion-house
was Mary Callinack, 84 years of ago, who had travelled
on foot from Penzance, carrying a basket en her head,
with the object of visiting the Exhibition and of paying
her respects personally to the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress. As soon as the ordinary business was
finished the aged woman entered the justice-room, when
the Lord Mayor, addressing her, said, " Wel', I under-
stand, Mrs. Uellinsck, you have come to see me?" She
replied, " Yes; God bless you! I never was in such a
place as this. I have come up asking for a small sum of
money. lam 84." The Lord Mayor—" Where do you
come from?" Mrs. Callinack—From the Land's-end."
Tho Lord Mayor—" What part?" Mrs. Callinack—
" Penzance." She then stated that she loft Penzance
five weeks ago, and had been the whole of the time
walking to the metropolis. The Lord Mayor—What in-
duced you tocome to London?" Mrs. Callinack—" I had
a little matter to attend to as well as to see the Exhibi-
tion. I was there yesterday, and mean to go again to-
morrow." The Lard Mayor—"; What do you think of
it?' Mrs. Callinack—" I think it's very good."—(Much
laughter.) She then said that all her money was spent
but Sid. Ai,;er a little further conversation, which
caused considerable merriment, the Lord Mayor made
her a present of a sovereign, telling her to take care of
it, there being a good many thieves in London. On re-
ceiving it the old woman burst into tears, and said,
" Now I shall be able to got back." She was afterwards
received by the Lady Mayoress, with whom she remained
a long time, and having partaken of tea in the house-
keeper's room returned thanks for the hospitality she
had received, and left the Mansion-house for one more
visit to the Exhibition before returning to her home.
It is probable that if the poor old woman's address
were known maple means would be provided by the
charitable to enable her to return in comfort to
Cornwall.

EMIGRATION TO TUE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.—
At the present moment, when public attention is so largely
directed towards the newly-discovered riches of our Austrii•
Tian colonies, and when so considerable an increase of emi-
grants may be anticipated, the exertions of benevolent indi-
viduals to elevate the character and improve the moral con-
dition of those leaving their native country cannot be too
highly' estimated or too warmly supported. During the past
two years very active endeavours have been made by the
supporters and promoters of the British Ladies' Female
Emigrant Society to afford the fullest possible protection
to female emigrants proceeding to the colonies. The objects
of the society are described as "to establish homes for the
reception, preparation, and instruction of female emigrants
previous to their leaving. the country; to provide visitation
at the ports and means of employment and instruction
during the voyage ; to secure the appointment of judicious
and efficient matrons for the superintendence of the young
women throughout the passage; and, finally, to form corre-
sponding societies in the colonies for the protection and as-
sistance of the immigrants on their arrival." Already it
appears by the society's records, much good has been effected
in carrying out the objects enumerated, and the necessity
of increased exertions in the same philanthropic direction
must be apparent to all acquainted with the dangers and
temptations which beset female emigrants.

ATROCIOUS CASE OF STABBlNG.—Yesterday James !
Morgan and John Cokum, two powerfully built fellows, were
charged at the Bristol police-court with feloniously cutting
and wounding Peter Dean and Catherine Dean, his wife.
The case was one of the most atrocious description. It ap-
peared from the statement of the male complainant, who had
evidently received a severe gash in his head and had his arm
bound up, that the previous evening he went to the King's
Arms public-house to fetch some beer for his wife, and on ,
his return home met the two prisoners near his own house,
one of whom made a grasp at the can. Witness resisted,
when one of the men struck him in the head with some
sharp weapon ; the other prisoner also stabbed him with a
knife in the arm. his cries brought out his wife to his
assistance, and he saw one of the prisoners stab at her, lie
then fell to the ground senseless, and when he recovered
found himself all covered with blood, and his wife senseless
beside him, bleeding profusely. They were both taken to
the Bristol Infirmary immediately, where their wounds were
dressed. Mrs. Dean, it appears, was even more seriously in-
jured than her husband, and a certificate from Mr. INlorgan,
one of the surgeons at the infirmary was put in, stating that
she would be unable, without danger to her life, to attend
before the magistrate and give evidence, Under thesecir-
cumstances both prisoners were remanded to await the result
of their ferocious violence.
The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rot-
terdam produce-markets state that very little change had
occurred in prices. Not much was doing in coffee, but
previous quotations were supported.

CITY OF LONDOWirt4
The court met at ten o'clock yesterday, when
T. Y. M'Christie, the revising barrister, proceeded to
revise the householders' lists for the wards of Alders-

gats Within and Without, Aldgat; and
and Bassishaw and Coleman-street.

Mr. Fisher Jackson, of 3, Crown-court, was ob-
jected to by Mr. Brown, on the part of the Conserva-
tives. The parish in which Crown-court stands is St,
Botolph, Alderagate, but that description was omitted
in the list.

Mr. Ledger said the question would arise *whether
the notice could, in the due course of post, have been
served on Mr. Jackson within the prescribed time„
namely, by the 25th of August. The notice was ad-
dressed to " 52, Crown-court," in consequence of
which it had been carried to four distinct Crown-
courts before it reseed the right party, end then it
was not delivered till the 26th.

Mr. Brown said the addrees on the notice corre-
sponded with that inserted on the list, and the list
must always he copied.
The REVISING BARRISTER said the address must
be correctly described on the list. The 100th seclion
of the Act directed that notice should be given .1t 11T
place of abode described in the list of voters. In this
case the notice had been posted in sufficient time to
have reached the voter on the 25th of August, had
it been taken in due course of poet to the Crown•
court in which Mr. Jackson resided, but the acci-
dent that occasioned its delay bad rendered it imp, s•
Bible that it could be delivered within the stated
period. The notice was not thereby invalidated, and
the description not being correct, he should hold the
objection to be good.
The vote was expunged.
Mr. Anderson, M.P. for Orkney, who was inserted
for premises 137, Leadenhall-street, was objected to
by Mr. Brown, on the ground that he did not pay the
rates for the premises described.
Mr. Anderson appeared in person, and said he was
a partner in the Peninsular and Oriental Company to
the extent of 324 shares, for which he would not
take 20,0001. He occupied the premises in Leaden-
hall-street in connexion with Mr. Wilcox, M.P. for
Southampton, the rental being 1,0001. per annum. It
was true the business of the company was carried on
there, and that the company was collectil ely rated,
but no shareholder had any right whatever to remain
or sleep at the office except himself, as chairman, and
he alone could give permission for any of them to
do so.

Mr. Smith contended that the company being rated,
Mr. Anderson, as a partner of the company, was rated
to all intents and purposes.
Mr. Brown said, in that case every shareholder must
be considered to be rated.
Mr. Anderson said he occupied the premises fur
other purposes, as well as for the transaction of busi•
ness connected with the company.
The BARRISTER was of opinion that Mr. Anderson
:was virtually rated, and therefore overruled the ob•
j ection.

The result of the revision for the two days is as fol-
lows :—Claims by the Liberals, allowed 6 ; objections
sustained, 212; failed, 21. Claims by the Tories
none; objections sustained, 79 ; failed, 14 ; name•
expunged by the barrister, 17.
The Court, having completed the appointed list
rose at four o'clock, and adjourned until Friday next.

LECTURE ON BLOOMERISAT, BY A
BLOOMER.

The success of last week's experiment has encou-
raged the managers of the Literary Institution, in
John-street, Fitzroy-square, to afford their sub-
scribers and the public another intellectual treat.
Mrs. Dexter last night re-appeared upon their boards
in trowsers, to advocate the universal abolition of pet-
ticoats—in her own words, "to deliver an address to
the women of London in favour of the Reformed
Dress movement." The attendance was numerous,
as might have been expected, and this time there was
no escaping the twopences. Men were placed inside
and outside the door to regulate the admittance, and,
thanks to this double sentry insisting on the fee, A
great sum must have been collected for the advance-
ment of science before the pioneer of female progress
commenced her exhortation to the fair sex. By that
time the hall and galleries were crowded, principally
of course, with men ; on the platform, however, were
a party of women, almost persuaded perhaps, but still
adhering to the costume of their mothers ; and even
amongst the general audience not a few females were
to be seen. Bloomerism bad evidently excited
curiosity if it had not made converts.
Mrs. Dexter, of course, illustrated her doctrines by
presenting herself to her audience in the apparel,
which, if she accomplishes her mission, all ladies are
henceforth to wear. We have already done our bast
to describe it. The material is black satin ; the pecu-
liarity, trowsers ; the general effect, something be-
tween the popular notion of Turkish and the minor-
theatrical conception of a page clothed as these young
gentlemen were et an indefinite period during tho
middle or " dark" ages.
As to the lecture, it " well alone," being simply
a repetition of that given last week, with a few ampli-
fications and additions arising out of subsequent
events. For instance, the Queen's recent ascent of
Lochnagar, as recorded iu the Court Circular, afforded
admirable ground for an inquiry whether her Majesty
would not have felt the convenience of trowsers and ts
short skirt in her progress. Lord Shaftesbury, toe,
who at Mrs. Chisholm'a group meeting of colonists
did unfortunately introduce the topic of Bloomerism,
in pursuit of a new figure of speech, was copiously
quoted ; and, in a parenthesis, female emigrants were
especially recommended not to import the error of
drapery into the countries they intended to colonise.
There remained still one subject to be treated—the
opinions of the press. Upon what Thackeray calls
" The Corporation of the Goosequill" Mrs. Dexter was
rather severe. She did not complain of its reports,which,
though necessarily abbreviated, were, on the whole,
fair, whilst as to its praise or censures she was Equally
indifferent. She had defined the secret of editorial
silence—wise oblivion. " The conductors of the press
did not yet know what might be the feeling of the
British public ; therefore they were afraid of com-
mitting themselves." It is only candid to state that
this solution was perfectly satisfactory to the audience,
they could conceive no reason why, when the author
of " Sartor Resortus" is treated so respectfully, a more
practical exponent of the philosophy of clothes should
not, as soon as recognized, become the common topio
of leading articles. Literature, we confess, is con-
victed of neglect of Mrs. Dexter. Her condemnation
of temporising journalism waiting for the suffrage oe
the people was received by an enlightened audience,
members of a scientific institution, with roars of ap-
probation. Ought we to apologise ? Like all prac-
tised orators, Mrs. Dexter drew up at a climax.
Placing upon her head a hat similar in style to those
usually worn by the Adelphi haymakers, with just
enough veil upon it to hide no part of her face, she
bowed gracefully to the public, and retired in the very
midst of the thunders of applause which a respectful
but determined defiance of everybody, coupled with a
promise of consistency in the advocacy and persever-
ance in the wearing of trowsers, had been the very
natural and efficient means of producing.—Morning
Paper.

As regards the general position of bueinees, the
feel;ng yesterday in the City was very satisfactory. Money,
apparently, is becoming more easy, and the continued re-
ports of large:and steady transactions at Manchester, and of
full employment throughout the provinces generally, create
a degree of confidence, which promises well for the approach-
ing winter. It is seen, also, that the abundant harvest and
other causes warrant an entieipation of a steady increase
during the next few months of the bullion in the Bank of
England. This increase is likely to be derived from two
sources—importations from abroad, and the liberation of
part of the large quantity at present in the hands of the
public. The existing note circulation is precisely equal to
what it was at the corresponding period of lest year, when
the Bank rate of interest was 2 per cent., and when cotton
was 30 to 40 per cent. above its present price, with produce
of most other descriptions comparatively high. Con-
trasted with September, 1849, it shows an excess of
1,500,0001. After the close of the Exhibition, there-
fore, the return of a considerable amount of coin is not no,
probable. At the same time, while the total of bullion is
now higher than at any period since January, it is clear that
not only is the drain from the Continent and the East, Which
has so long counteracted the large receipts from New York,
terminated, but that France, Holland, and Belgium may
furnish henceforth some additions to our supply. The dura-
tion of this condition of affairs will be promoted, moreover,
by the low prices of most articles of import, Which are likely
for some months to discourage foreign shippers. Under these
circumstances, as the internal prosperity of the country is
certain to cause a continuance of the steady consumption of
articles of food and luxury, while a diminution in the demand

UNCOLOURED GREEN TEA, (From a Correspond-
ent.)—The first sale by public auction of tea grown by. the
East India Company took place yesterday, the 23d inst.,
at the Commercial Sale-rooms, Mincing-lane. The whole,
comprising most sorts of both black and green kinds, went
at full market rates. The lion. East India Company have
for some years past cultivated the China tea plant (by
natives of China) in India, on the alep es of the Himalayas.
It is found to thrive equally well at heights ranging from
2,200 feet above the level of the sea to 6,000. The com-
pany have many tea farms, each containing from 200 to
400 acres. The most important feature in this tea is that
the superintendent, Dr. Jameson, has not allowed the
Chinese to coat over with Prussian blue, &c., the green tea,
as is their custom in China to all they send to England.
The Hon. Company certainly shows a correct taste in not
having their tea painted. Sir John F. Davis, in his "China
and Chinese," states the Chinese themselves do not use the
coloured green tea tb,ey prepare for our market. Mr. R.
Fortune, who has for some seasons been in China selecting
tea plants for thss Hon. Company, writes—" I took some
trouble to ascertv.in precisely the quantity of colouring used
in the process of dying green teas intended for export to
England. To I,:q lb. of tea was applied rather more than all
ounce of blue colour. For every 1001 b. of green tea which
are consumed in England or America, the COllillatCr eats
rather more than ilb. of colour."
