THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(Tills DAY.)
Whitsuntide being the great holiday cf the mann-
tecturing districts and the north of England, this morn-
ing was anticipated somewhat in the same light es was
the first shilling day, and precautions were taken before-
hand to prevent all evil consequences from the expected
crush. It seems impossible, however. to anticipate any-
thing connected with the Crystal Palace; and though the
number of visitors who presented themselves at the firstbae
opening of the doors was more conliderable than
yet been known, it was far from amounting to tbat
r
tre-
mendous rush which some cf our. conterepeotra
the
have been dilating upon in anticiitsbat,
iciest three
rate of three times a
months; 21,326 passed through in " the' first hour,
12,788 in the second, making in all about 34,311 for the
first two hours, a number certainly not very much
exceeding sny which has hitherto beene composed near
known.
l
The class of persons seemed to b
altogether of country visitors; smock-frocks were there
in abundance, showing that the agricultural interest
was well represented; while the moleskin jacket of the
mechanic, or the smart blue coat and brass buttons
of the weaver, were sufficient guarantees for the
presence of the manufacturing interest. The co-
'orate articles exhibited in the nave were
infinitely the greatest favourites with this class; and it
was not a little amusing to stand near acme such object
as the Amazed and the Tiger, and listen to the remarks
made by the rurrcuuding crowd, in almost every ima-
ginable. dialect known to the Englitli language.. This
of itself was sufficient to prove the nature of the class
of visitors; and we should say that all—at least five-
sixths—of those assembled in the Crystal Pisace this
morning were visitors from the country.
We never remember to have seen the galleries so full
as this morning. In some places the police were
obliged to interfere to keep a clear passage,
and the departments also in the rear of the main avenues
were exceedingly crowded, particularly that devoted to
the _French machinery, which we noticed were inspected
with great interest by our English mechanics. The
consequence was that the nave an.i transept presented a
thinner appearance than usual; the KA-i-noor and the
other displays of precious stone had not their usual
crowd around them as on former occasions; and on the
whole the useful or wonder-working seemed more the I
objects of admiration than the merely beautiful.

CAPE 4)F GOOD HOPE.
We have received Cspe Town papers to the 15th of
April last, bringing us intelligence from the seat ef war
one week later than that published in ?he Sun of Satur-
day. No further military movements of any consequence
had taken place down to the Bth of April.
The intelligence from he a4-quarters is so tar satisfac•
tort', that there new appears no doubt but that Pet° will
remain faithful to his English allies. He had returned
a decided answer to Krele and had declared his fixed de
termination not to engage in the war, requesting that no
more messages might be sent to him on the subject. He
had also taken steps to keep open and protect the road
from East London to King William's Town. No move-
ments whatever seem to have taken place amongst the
troops since ",ast report. But LTwhala, it is said, bad de-
clared his willingness to join Kreli in the war. It was
the doubt entertained of the fidelity of the Slambie
chiefs which had prevented the Governor from leaving
King William's Town, and formieg a camp in the heart
of Sandilli's country.
The correspondent of the Frontier Times states that
his Excellency has written home for tour regiments, and
expects a reply by the steamer which is to arrive in this
month. Those best acquainted with the true state of
affairs say that his Excellency has thus taken the most
proper course for putting a speedy end to the war, as
well as for impressing the Bri ish Governmect with a
seese of the magnitude of the difficulties against which
Sir 11. Smith has to contend.

Mount. Seven seamen, beiongieg to her Majesty's ship

The Cape Town Mail of the 15th April contains the
following rem:silts relaiive t) the inactivity of the Com-
mar,d-r-ir. Chit 1:
" The intelligence from the 'seat of war COnfieros the
views which had boa previously entertained of the
causes of that inactivity of the Commander in-Chief,
which has been so much comp:ained of. It is
piein teat no dependence can he placed upon
thu Levies. As auxiliaries they might, and pro-
bably would, be very useful and e ffieient; but, as consti-
tuticg the main body of an arm), teey are all hut
usdeis. It is new uffirnsed that the Lsvies under Major
Wilmot refused to enter the bush' in which the Katirs
had taken refuge. They ,ould not thee them (the
Kafirs),' says the correspocdeat of the Frontier Times,
• and triers: was no European three there to lead them
Ott.' This ieet, it should be observed, renders the suc-
cess which Mejor Wilmot achieved so much the more
creditable to that gallant and skilfui officer, who, with
such an indifferent force, was able to inflict a severe
blow upon the enemy, without losing a man of his own
party."
Sandilli had ordered the cattle, about 300 head, taken
from Mr. Browelee's station, to be returned, stating
that he was nut lighting with Kafirs, but with the Go-
vernment.
• The Governor had restored their arms to 118 of the
disbanded Cape Mounted Rifles, their good conduct hay-
ing been guaranteed by old and staunch non-commis-
sioned officers; and, as it hi said, everything promising
that they will ba faithful to the British cause.
Native rumours a ern abroad in Kefirlane to the effect
that the common K Alio were clamorous fur the cr.:a:ti-
the' of hostilities—having, as they say, lost so many
men. It is also affirmed that Sandilli had directed his
peeple to drive their cattL. to the highest parts of the
Atnatolas—indieetieg either alarm or the expectation of
a movement by the British forces upon their mountain
holds.

The informatioa from General Somerset's division is
to the eff.ot that its movement upon Shiloh was for the
present in abeyance, the troops being halted in a good
position in the basin of ihe Kst River. A eispa;ch bad
been received by General Somerset from the Comman-
der-in-Chief directing 'wee not to move forward, most
probably arising from the attempt made by Kreli to
induce Pato to withdraw from the British muse. The
enemy,frc conjoint Hottentots and Kafirs, are in great
in the mountain fastnesses of the Kat Berg, Blaod's
Berg, and the Chum;e thus presenting a most difficult
front to the colonialio—ops, at the same time having the
whole extent of the
of having their positiomnafotorlradto retire upon in the event
in the first instance. An
express had reached Fort forced
from Shiloh, with the 1
intellgence that a bur her forGce of 400 men had assembled
at that point, and 4General Somerset to co-ope-
rate with them. It sayingieeest that General Somerset
had dispatched Captain Bramley to meet the burgher
commandent, and to concert with him as to future
movements.

" On Saturday evening, 3 scene of no very creditable
character occurred in this town. It was known that the
Rev. Mr. Renton was in town, and that he and Mrs.
Renton had taken up their quarters at Mr. M'Kerase's
Hotel, in Bathurst-street. As soon as i t was dusk, a
ted a rude trans-
crowd assembled, and having construe

some of the respectable inhabitants, it is to be feared
much mischief would have been done. At this period of
the evening some two or three stones were thrown,
which broke as many paneofglass in the windows.

o'clock the crowd dispersed, and
quietness for a time
reigned in the streets; but about two o'clock on sends)
morning, a number of persons again assembled, and c..-.
moliehed about 25 or 30 panes of glass in ^I mt-
is r. 'Aeen-
zie's house, by throwing stones through the window.,
which also did considerable damage to the propert;
!via-An. The state of popular feeling runs very bigt,
against the missionaries said to be at all concerned in tee
events which have taken place at the Kitt River, and ol
this the above may be considered as an index. On Mot-
day the authorities were emplot ed in investigating the
affair, and many depositions were taken, but we cannot
learn that any measures were adopted to prevent are
currenese of the disgraceful scene."
