THE GREAT _EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
The unpromising aspect of the weather at the hour of
opening, and the heavy rain which began to fall about
12 o'clock, has had the effect of diminishing to some ex-
tent the number of visitors to the Great Exhibition this
morning, compared with the number who visited it at the
same hour yesterday. Only 14,135 entered the building
in the first hour, at 12 o'clock they had risen to 28,769,
and at one o'clock there were 38,049 persons in the
building. The visitors were of the same class as
yesterday, mostly country visitors. At one o'clock
523 had left the building. Yesterday, in the
first hour, 21,526 were admitted, and the num-
ber of persons in the building even at twelve
o'clock were 34,311. After that time the same
cause acted to diminish the rush as was at
work this morning—the anticipation of a damp,
disagreeable day. Those who arrived in the
last hour this morning presented anything but a
comfortable appearance, and the temperature of the
building when the rain falls outside is certainly not
the most cheering. There does not seem much chance
that the numbers during the remainder of the day will
reach even yesterday's returns, which show that from
ono to two o'clock 4,832 were admitted; from two to
three o'clock 3,312; from three to four o'clock 1,666;
and the total up to the hour of closing was 54,194. At
the doors 2,4361. 4s. was taken, and we find this amount
increased by the sum of two guineas for the sale of a
lady's season ticket.

OPENING OF THE VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.-
The 18th of the present month, the anniversary of the battle
of Waterloo, has been fixed on as the period for the opening
of this line, and the most strenuous exertions are being
made by all parties engaged on the works to expedite them,. so that everything may be ready by the proposed date of
opening. This anniversary has likewise been chosen as the
opening day of the South Wales line from Gloucester to
Chepstow, so that the junction between the former city and
Swansea will then be completed. The opening of the Yale
of Neath will, however, in a great measure depend upon
the completion of the South Wales line, the directors of the
former railway being, from motives of economy, desirous of
availing themselves of the facilities affiarded by, the South
Wales for the moving of the necessary engines and ma-
terials.

ADJUSTMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION.--.

stitute, moved the first resolution, asserting the nece,sity for
a proper code of regulations for the guidance of building
committees; and a committee was appointed to draw up
such a code, and submit it to a second meeting, to be called
hereafter.
