TO TliE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Very many useful sugg,-stions have I seen on
ever) thing appertaining to the Exhibition, but nothing
that meets my case, and the case of thousands similarly
situ.ted.

I am a working man with eight children, and should
wish to ti.ilte five of them to the Exhibition; this would
emount to 75., fur them, my wife, and myself, to IP gin
ith, and the loss of a day's work c•qtain, besides other
necessary expenses, which would make 13s. or 14s. the
(lay's loss. Now, what I think reasonable is this—that
a few days should Le allowed for juveniles to be admitted
at half-price; we might then possibly be able to see our
children enjoy the holiday with us—at present almost
impossible. That you will insert this, and so be the
means of drawing attention to the subject, is the earnest
wish of A HARD-WORKING MAN.

DER MAJESTY'S VISI7' TO SCOTLAND,
will
We understand that her Majesty,
borne on Wednesday, has expressed her intention to ar-
rive a-, the King's-cross stration of the Great Northern
H iilway at half-past one o'clock in the afternoon. Her
Majesty will take luncheon at the station, and depart
thence at two o'clock. At Lincoln her Majesty will,
without leaving her carriage, receive an address from
the corporation of that city. The royal train will reach
Do,caster station at about half-past bIX. Here her Ma-
jesty will leave the royal carriage, and proceed to the
Angel Hotel, which has been engaged for her accommo-
dation, and where she will remain during the night. A. t
nine o'clock on the following morning her oustMey will
journey on to Holyrood, between which place Doncaster the royal train will stop only for the engine to
take in water. A temporary station is to be provided at
Holyrood to enable her Majesty to cross over to Holy-
rood House, without going through the city. Her Ma-
jesty will sleep at Holyrood, and on the following morn-
ing return to the railway through the temporary station
and proceed to Stonehaven, which has this year been se-
lected in preference to Cupar Angus, as the terminal
point of her Majesty's railway journey, in consequence
of the route from Stonehaven to Balmoral being better
than that from Cupar Angus to the latter place. The
royal carriage of the Great Northern Railway will run
through to Stonehaven.

Father Ignatius, according to a contemporary, has
gone to Germany, the necessity for recruiting his health
being the cause assigned for his expatriation; but that the
real tact is, his simplicity or his eccentricities were causing
too much trouble to the heads of the Popish clique in West-
minster.—Aforning fallen
