The Chinese idol just exhibited in front of the
Tunisian department attracts great att,istion, and its
grotesqueness causes no little amusement to a large por-
ti mof the visitors. It is exhibit,d by Major Edy.
The thermometer rose in the course of the day from
61 to 71.

2,773/. 16s. was taken at the doors, and the num-
ber of visitors was 57.0.59. As announced by ad-
vertisement, the building now opens to the public at
nine o'clock in the morning, and closes at six in the
evening.

An 'important meeting of the Royal Commission,
which was very fully attended, totnk place yesteiday
in the Crystal Palace, and was presided over by Prince
Albert, who was naturally anxious to see certain
que.tions satisfactorily solved which pressed for a
decision before his departure to the Highlands. All
matters that could stand over, such as the fate of the
building, and the appropriation of the surplus funds,
are still in reserve ; but the following is a summary of
the points finally sett►ed :

The Royal Commissioners have fixed Saturday,
the 11th of October. as the day for clueing the Exhibi-
tion to the public. It is their intention to bold a meet-
ing in the building on Wednesday, the 15th of October.

juries, at.d to take leave of the if .r' igu Commisaiiiners.
On this eco.tsiiin they int- red to request the presence of
the exhibitors, the jurors, the tort gn and local commie-
sue', ra, and the turinoere of the 10e.,1 cuitunitn es.
Immediately atter the close or their proceedings per
mission will be given to the exhibitors to remove their
goods. sut.j.ct to such regu'ations us miy be made by
the executive committee. The reports of the juries and
the names of the persons to whom prises shall have been
awarded will afterwards be published in the London
Gazelle. It is the desire of the Royal Commissioners
no; only to present medals to the individuals to whom
the juries may have awarded them, but to mark their
sense of the great exertions of all the exhibitors, and
also of the jut.' re, the foreign and local cianmissionere,
the chairmen, treasurers, and secretaries of I-011 corn

in promoting the Exhibition, tied t, present them with

would be invidious to select any persons to receive their
medals at one time, and to omit others.
