Yesterday the ainn of 3,008/. 9s. was taken in
ailiirgs at the doors, and 1/. for the sale of a season
Acket. The numbta- of visitors according to the
police returns v.-as 62,622. It will be seen that the
near approach of the time when the Exhibition is to
as closed begins to tell upon the masses, and before
the 11th of next mouth it is expected that the popu-
larity of the great display will be demonstrated in a
manner the most unmistakeable and impressive. The
sensation of freshness and the first delightful feelings
of novelty have gone, but a rreneral conviction appears
to be entertained that the Exhibition cannot termi-
nate in an unworthy or undignified manner, and that
that event will be celebrated by a ceremony which,
if not elm' to the opening,. will at least be worthy
of and in perfect harmony with it. In the mean-
time the sale of season tickets continues, founded
in all probability on the strength of that impression.
Tee best method of appropriating the surplus is

every day becoming a -na.atter of greater interest,
and more keen discussion among the leading men
connected with the Exhibition. Upon one point
all the projectors seem agreed—namely, that it should
be funded for future emergenciea, and that the inte-
rest only should be considered available for such
schemes as it may be deemed expdient to carry out
in the meantime. This is an important matter on
which to secure unanimity; for if, after a given
number of years, it is found desirable to have another
Great Exhibition, by a prudent economy at present
we shall have the means of doing so on a worthy
scale secured to us. There is something also in the
character of this surplus, coming to the Royal Com-
mission almost like a supernatural gift from the good
genius of the Crystal Palace, which forbids that it
should be expended on schemes of a hazardous and
doubtful character. If they let it slip through their
fingers they will not easily get such a sum of
money for the promotion of industrial exhibitions
again collected. It would be folly to rely on Go-
vernment for assistance, and the public might not be
disposed to support so warmly a second time with
their subscriptions an undertaking in the first in-
, stance recommended•by its novelty and by the direct
i\sy
patronage of the Crown. Industr and provident
habits should go hand in hand, and s Royal Com-
mission cannot do wrong in funding th surplus.
The unaninik that prevails upon tbi oint is a
pledge that it will be so, but, before it is one, there
are: certain debts of honour which the Commission
have to discharge, and which it is in every way
desirable that they should meet is a liberal spirit.
When the plan of a great exhibition was still in em-
bryo, its expensiveness certain, and its success
doubtful, it was prudently determined to keep the
outlay incurred within the strictest control. A scale
of salaries and remuneration was, under the cir-

eumstances, laid down, totally inadequate to the
services to be performed, and so far was this carried
that some of the most important and indispensable
labours of the Exhibition have been discharged with.

out any recompense whatever. To specify names
would be invidious where so many have been pe-
cuniary sufferers, by an undertaking which their teu-
tiring erertions and-ability mainly brought to a tri-
umphant termination. The Commission, however, are
quite aware of the facts. To stop short in the midst of
man'sa regular pursuits, and tddevote many months
entirely
to an episodical scheme like the Exhibition,
is no ordinary exercise of self. denial and risk for a
pane oleect. To do this, and to be shabbily pail
for services of the most arduous and responsible
character, would, with a large surplus in hand, be a
case of extreme hardship and injustice. If the
Commission chose to stand upon the strict letter of
the law, they could stiddie the contractors with a
heavy loss for having dared to build the Crystal
Palace ; they could dismiss Mr. Paxton with an
empty expression of thanks for his brilliant design.
They could quietly overlook the claims of such men
as Professor Ansted and Dr. Lindley, bringing to
their gratuitous labours the highest scientific attain-
ments. Even their Executive Committee might be
coolly set aide, with one of its acting members,
entirely unrewarded, and another with his previous
position unimproved and his paramount claims unre-
cognised. The public do not feel as much at present
as they will do when they have had more time to con-
sider how the praises, the honours, and the rewards
connected with the origin and fulfilment of the Great
Exhibition should be apportioned. Their eyes are
naturally drawn to the formal and official heads of
the undertaking, and the merits of those who have
worked under them and been content to veil their
exertions under the shade of a subordinate position,
have been concealed from view. These things, how-
ever, cannot always remain unknown, and as it is one
of the most conspicuous features of the great indus-
trial display in Hyde-park to raise up obscure talent
and proclaim excellence from wheiasoever it comes,
we trust that the Royal Commission in dealing with
their staff of officials will set a worthy example of the
principles they recognize. They did not originate
the scheme of the Great Exhibition—they did not
watch over it during its precarious infancy—they
did not get the Prince to stand godfather to it, and,
with a boldness unusual among Royal personages,
pin his name nod reputation to its success. The un-
dertaking had been well developed, and taken a firm
hold upon th,c public mind before the Commission
existed—nor will it escape observation that the list
of Commissioners does not contain one individual
except the Prince whose name can be considered as
largely mixed up with the Exhibition from the out-
set. This is not said in disparagement of their use-
fulness, for that has been undoubted. They concen-
trated an immense amount of favourable influence
upon the undertaking. They raised it above any
suspicion of jobbery or partiality, and they gave it
that prestige of high supervision to which in this
country so much consequence is attached. Individual
members, especially Lord Granville, rendered most
important. services, and the proceedings of the body
have, on the whole, been characterized by greet
Judgment and good sense. Still it is necessary to
bear in mind that the chief credit and éclat of the
Exhibition de not belong to them. Upon this state of
matters comes the question of remuneration ; and, as
the surplus is a fair fund upon which to draw for such
a purpose, the distribution of rewards which must take
place may easily be managed in such a way as to satisfy
• every reasonable expectation. The Commission seek
' to propitiate exhibitors and jurors by an extensive dis-
tribution of medals, certificates, and reports. Their
staiff of officials is more under their control, and less
likely to be obstreperous, should the claims of its mem-
bers be overlooked. We cannot, however, suppose
that as a body the Royal Commission can be capable
of such ingratitude as their legal position enables them
to practise with impunity. They have not yet, it is
true, shown any decided inclination to lay the honours
and praises which have been heaped upon thine at the
feet of the subordinates, bat perhaps they are reserving
their acknowledgments for the close of the Exhibition,
and are preparing to publish the awards to their staff
contemporaneously with those of the j uries to exhibitors.
Two additions have recently been made to the
United States' department which are well worthy of
notice. The first is the Msynard primer, a substi-
tutien for the percussion cap, which is simply a coil
of paper, at intrrrals in which spots of detonating
powder are placed. The action of the doghead ear-
out from the chamber in which it is contained
this cheap and self-acting substitute for the ordinary
guu apperatus, which is a vast economy in expense es
well a
sin time. le its character the invention is one
which admits of being easily adapted to every de-
scription of firearms at present commonly in use, arilthat at a trifling cost. Another fernarkable addition
to the American department is a service of gold
plate, presented to Mr. Collins, of steam navigation
celebrity, by the city cf New Yolk, and the metal
composiug which was, only three months sr, still
lying undiscovered in the diggings of California.
Within that wonderfully brief period the gold has
been found, brought to New York, and manufactured,
without alloy, by Messrs. Ball, Tompkins, and Black,
into a series of articles highly creditable to their good
taste. There is nothing in the Exhibition at all come
paeahle to the auriferous brilliancy of colour which
this Californian plate possesses, and for that reason
alone it is well worthy of inspection. One of the
patent bank locks whieh Mr. Hobbs recommends it
at present in the hands of an expert English mechanic,
who is endeavouring to pick et. Mr. Hobbs has, it
is said, afforded to our countryman every facility
that was at all reasonable, and has even handed over
to him another lock exactly similar to that on which
lie is operating, in order that he may 4ve the most
complete means for examining the prinslple on which
I it is constructed.—Morning Paper.
