THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(TEIS DAY )
From the crowds as,embled ,ound the doors of the Crystal
Palace before its opening, we should say that to-day will be
one of the mos- crowded which has yet been known. In the
first two hours 31,175 persons passed through the doors, a
greater number than have ever 3 et entered in so short a space
of time. It was always expected that Monday would be the
most crowded of the shillii.g days, as it is on that day that
the working classes take tneir ,holiday ; tut, apparently,
they are de ermined to take holidays fur the sole purpose of
viewing the Exhibition, as we observed great numbers of
them among the crowd this morning.
The numbers yesterday were about 45,000, and the receipts

CE-CHANCERY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor K. BRUCE.)
GIBBONS V. FLETCHER.
This case was op B
ed yesterday by Mr. Wigram, with
whom was Mr. Gifford. The suit is instituted by the plain-
tiff; whia claims priority in respect of a bond taken:by him
from the defendant and others, trustees of the parish of St.
Paul, 6hadwell, and chargeable upon the rates. • His IioNOVR his morning oiscoarged the' plaintiff's pe-
tition so far as t prayed to have an account of the parish
rates since the contracting of the debt, but directed an order
to inquire, so far as regarded the time since the filing of the
present bill.
(Before Lord CRANWORTH.)
His Lordship this morning heard and disposed of a number
of abort claims and causes.
(Before Vice-Chancellor G. TURNER.)
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V BISHor OF WORCEsTER.
This care was again re,"u ed,
This morning the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and Mr. Win-
CcCIC, for the bead ni..ster, contended that it was contrary
to tne practice of the Court to disturb a scheme the provi-
sions of which ha been inserted in the presence, and with
the tpproba,ion of the Attorney-General. It would wor
great injustice if schemes for the management of charities
could be disturbed without some great necessity, and costs
paid out ut the charity properly, or by the trustees, or the
masters of a grammar school. It was only in cases where
new facts hat been discovered, or fraud was proved, that such
suits could be entertaitn-o.

BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WIGHTmAN.)
LONDON GASLIGHT COMPANY. ' -
Mr. H. HILL appied to the Court fora mandamus directed
to the Judge of the Brompton County Court, requiring him
to hear a plaint of the London Gaslight Company. lo 184'
the company contracted to supply a Ar. Linstead, of Brompton,
with gas, at the rate of 6s. per thousand, and that person
being indebted to the company in 21. or 31. under that con-
tract, the company issued a summons against him in the
Brompton County Court. At the hearing of the case the de•
fendant took an objection to the jurisdiction of the court, on
the ground that one of the, p ovisions of the Gas Company's
Act gave the company power to recover sums under 201.
before a police magistrate, and •be Judge held the objection
to be fatal to the claim. It was quite clear, however, that the
Act did not take a Nay the common-law tight of the company
to sue in the county courts; and the Judge, therefore, acted
wrongly in not adjudicating on the plaint.
Application granted.

of the market during all the past week. The inquiry
has been very limited, and did not extend beyond small
parcels, wanted for filling freight engagements. The

of il. to kl. at Liverpoo!, has increased materially the

li% , The Money Market appears to be rather sensitive in
[55 the face of the many favourable circumstances which
should influence it. The amount of' bullion arriving
from the United States, Russia, and other parts, the
excellent accounts from California, and the restriction of
the cotton ape.cal.tion, combined with the fine growing
weather for the grain crops and the advance in the
foreign exchanges, are all circumstances that inspire
confidence, and there is nothing particularly wanting to
insure the continuance of this satisfactory position of
affairs, but someguarantee that political affairs in France
will remain tranquil. The speech of Louis Napoleon
is considered indiscreet in seine respects, but the it flux
of petiti=ons, for a revision of the Constitution are some
excuse for the exhibition of a little exultation, which it
is hoped may be kept within constitutional bounds.
The English Stock Market, after yesterday's strong
buying, is again quieter; but there is no change in the
