THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Yesterday 3,1941. 13s. was taken at the doors, and
67,170 persons entered the building. Of these a very
large party came from the town and neighbourhood of
Reading.
The eclipse of the sun which took place yesterday
seems to have inspired the Executive Committee with
formidable apprehensions of the diminution of light
which was likely to take place in consequence. From
an impression that the 67,000 visitors who flocked there
would have to grope their way through a darkness
hardly visible, they had all the gas lamps in the interior
put in requisition. Some amusement was caused by this
excessive amount of precaution for a great transparency
like Mr. Paxton's palace of glass.

The South-Eastern Railw—sy brought up a special train
from Reading, enaged by Messrs. Barrett, Exull, and
Andrews, engineers, of the Katesgrove Iron-works, con-
taining about 1,200 persons. Upwards of 230 of these
were the clerks, workmen, and boys employed by that
firm, each of whom had been presented with a free ticket
to convey them to the Great Exhibition. They were
brought by steam-boats from the terminus to West-
minster-bridge, where they formed into procession, and,
headed by a band of music and banners, marched to the
Exhibition, singing in chorus some spirited and appro-
priate verses, entitled " The Working Man," the words
of which were written, and the music arranged, by ono
of themselves. The party will again visit the exhibition
to-morrow, as will also a body of 2,000 parsons from
Woolwich.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I so cordially agree with the remarks of a
"I,..3gitinia,to Railway Investor," contained in a letter
published in The Sun of July 24, that I lolg to add my
testimony to tho advantages derived by railway proprie-
tors from your well-timed advice, not to sacrifice their
property to the Bears, justly so called. Like your cor-
respondent, I havo invested a portion of my property in
railways, umon"st others in Midlands, and I feel the
greatest confidence that the present depression in these
shares arises from temporary causes only—the usual
traffic on that important line being diverted; the fact
Hog, that excepting to London there is very little
traffic, nearly the whole setting in one current, to the
neglect of the lateral traffic. This will, however, soon
cea,:e, end we shall see Midlands 201. to 251. per share
higher than they are at the present time. If the Bears
fail to alarm the timid holders, their trade is gone.
Your obedient servant,
HABIUS CUNCTATOR.

RIVAL STEAM-BOATS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—A statement having appeared in your journal of
July 19, respecting a now steam-vessel, called the
Tourist, in which it is said that she has " beaten the
Jupiter (belonging to this company). hitherto consi-
dered the fastest boat on the Thames," I am requested,
through the medium of your columns, to deny that the
Jupiter has ever been beaten in speed by any vessel,
and that, to set at rest any doubt on this head, the pro-
prietors of the Jupiter are ready, on any day that may
bs agreed upon between themselves and the proprietors
of the Tourist, to try their comparative speed by run-
ning either from Brunswick-wharf or from Gravesend
round the Nore-light and back.
Your early insertion of the above will obli"e,
Yours, obediently,
w. DoBSON, Secretary.

LITERATURE.
A LITTLE EARNEST BOOK. By William
Wilson. Barton and Company.
Several circumstances have caused us to look with
no ordinary ccmplacency upon this charming little
effusion. It is on a favourite subject, namely, on
Poets and Poetry. It is written throughout in a mood
of graceful and modest appreciation of all that is
really beautiful. It is in itself, moreover, an agree-
able blending of prose and versification. Added to all
which considerations, it is illustrated with some choice
Kenny Meadows, and, some exquisite
tailpieces by
wood engravings by Alfred Crowquill ; while the
entire volume is rendered yet more attractive by the
circumstance that it is dedicated by permission to Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton, ono of the moot illustrious
authors in the whole range of our national lite-
rature. Speaking of the last-mentioned cir-
cumstance in his preface, Mr. Wilson re-
marks very emphatically, that "he ventures, with
especial pride, to call the attention of his readers to
the dedication, for he considers himself honoured by
the permission kindly and delicately granted to in-
scribe this little book to the greatest of our living
authors," adding gracefully enough—" Great names
with hallow song." It will be difficult for even the
most cursory reader of the work before us to deny
the intelligence of its author, sprinkled as every page
is with so many evidences of his eclectic taste, and
with so many proofs of the originality of the fruits
of his meditation. In one part of the very opening
chapter it is observed by him very finely, that " God
always utters His eternal truths in poetry throughout
Hie Book." As a definition of poetry itself we find
it called a little further on epigrammatically, but no
less truly, The Beautiful. " Poetry," says the writer,
" May be termed The Beautiful, as that is the source,
or fountain, of all true and living poetry—the
palpably and ideally beautiful—the beautiful in
thought and in action." Further on he exclaims, in
a tone of enthusiasm, " The Poet is ever inspired by
beholding the smile of GOD in nature." Of Nature
he speaks also in terms of befitting admiration. " All
imagination to which it gives wings is above
anature,"ndthe he says,
" is a beautiful and wonderful poem,
and beyond reason." Yet beautiful and wonderful
immediately after that declaration, to ac-
though the poem of nature is to 'his comprehension, he
iksnofworleeeddg'e that " the mightiest poem in creation is
man." His reflections upon this subject flood his
whole soul with an exquisite and all-embracing hu-
manity, insomuch that he avows with some solemnity
that even in regard to those who are apparently the
most vitiated and debased, " Not to recognise the
Divine in the human is not to know God." It is nobly
and accurately proclaimed in another chapter that "the
true poet is ever the advocate of freedom," a fact exem-
plified in a thousand instances from the idylls of
Theocritus to the songs of Longfellow. Everywhere,
in the loftiest and the lowliest places alike, our author
finds some object with which to sympathize, some
theme capable of exciting his enthusiasm. On the
mountain top, under the shadow of a tree, by the
margin of a stream, leaning against a country stile,
wandering along the sea shore, he discovers new
sources of delight, and new causes for the outpouring
of his admiration. Occasionally his otherwise lucid
and scholarly diction may be blurred with some
awkward coinage, as where (p. 57) he speaks of
Shakspere's " aloneness:' Sometimes, again, as in
the very title of his volume—" A Little Earnest
Book upon a Great Old Subject"—he is guilty of
somewhat reprehensible affectation. But altogether
the work under notice is so evidently the utterance of
sincerity, that it is iknpossible not to be charmed by
its simplicity both of manner and expression. As ex-
amples of Mr. Wilson's rhythmical ability, we may
give the sonnets addressed by him respectively to
Shakapere and to Bulwer Lytton

SONNET TO SIIAKSPERE.

Mighty upraiser of the heart of man!
A stie:an of thought and fancy clear he winds,
Through feeling, gaining mastery o'er all minds;
Guiding and ruling as no °tint'. can.
Well may %Ne deem that thou art God-inspired—
Great Nature is the plaything of thy choice,
The Beautiful speaks in thine every voice.
The light of thy great mind the Globe has fired.

Oar ow"n dear ghaspere! Poet of the World!
We should do all to use thee for our good,—
Spread through ail lands thy wondrous mental food—
Whose power shall cease not 'till Time's wing be furled.
Most comprehensive soul of any clime;
Subjector of the Universe, and Time!

SONNET TO SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON,
BART.

Grand and impassioned is thy lofty mind!
By Nature much inspired thou host been,
For God, the Beautiful, thou there haat seen;
And felt His very breath upon the wind.
Both Poet and Philosopher art thou
Knowing what dear twin Sisters meek are they;
With thoughtful eyes, effulgent as the day!—
And glory-lit with Truth each spirit-brow.
Full of high beacon-thoughts thy works arise,
Shedding far down the Future rays benign;
Thy soul hes ever starward turned its eyes,
Gathering from thence bright gleams of the Divine.
Rare Prophet-minds—of aye-enduring might—
Raise up the World with their immortal light!

In the latter effusion it would have been somewhat
less distressing, because somewhat more grammatical,
to have remembered the real gender of Poet and
Philosopher. Unless thty were epicene they could
not possibly be called twin sisters. Poetry and
Philosophy might have been thus symbolized cor-
rectly, but neither of them are mentioned. Better
than his poetical, we like Mr. Wilson's prose allusions
to Sir Bulwer Lytton, were he observes—

"Of all living authors, Bulwer—the English literary
Universalist—has the most perfect power of garbing his
beautiful thoughts grandly. It is distinctly one power
to think grandly, and another to possess the artistic
ability to later grandly. The one power perfects and
refines the other. Bulwer casts, as it were, a halo round
his every thought by his singular and intuitive know-,
ledge of the genius and purpose of language. Yet he is
always within the reach of a Mind ! He avowedly ad-
dressea himself to all minds. It would, therefore, be ab-
surd to term his writings mystical because they are
original, powerful, and refined. He may safely rest his
fame as a poet upon his great poem King Arthur.' "
Sir Bulwer Lytton's illustrious contemporary, Charles
Dickens, is thus spoken of by our author, further on
in his volume—

" Speaking of the heart of the child, and the head of
the M4ll, irresistibly reminds us of ono great living
Poet, who has never published verses; but it has been
the fate of few, if that of any men, while living, to dwell
in and to irtluence so many hearts, as Dickens."
Two brief sentences, also worthy of quotation, are
those where it is said that "Poetry is the Poet's
Religion," and where, in elucidation of the thought,
it is remarked that the Poet " knows that Philosophy
is the sister of Faith, and that Faith is Poetry:' Aa
a lovely little supplement or appendix to the volume,
there are two chapters entitled " The Story of the
Poet Lover—an Outline." These, with the preceding
portions of the volume, cannot fail to obtain for the
author an estimable, though it may be a restricted
popularity.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1851.

In the House of Lords last night,
On the report of the Select Committee on the Smith-
field Market Removal Bill being brought up,
Earl GRANVILLE moved that the clauses giving com-
pensation to the Corporation of London, which had been
introduced by the Committee, should be expunged, and
that the clauses giving the Corporation six months to
determine whether or not they would establish a new
market should be restored as they stood in the original
Bill.

The motion was opposed by the Earl of Fowls, but
on a division was carried by a majority of 59 against 15
The report was then received; several Bills were
forwarded a stage and their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons, in the morning sitting,
Sir W. SOMERVILLE announced the abandonment of
the Valuation (Ireland) Bill, and of certain portions of
the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill.
The Commons held their evening sitting in the New
House for the first time.
Sir B. HALL moved that the electors of Greenwich
should be heard by counsel at the bar in support of
their petition that their representative, Mr. Alderman
SALoxoNs, should be allowed to take his seat.
The motion, which was opposed by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL, Sir F. THESIGER, Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir J.
HANMER, and Lord J. RUSSELL, and supported by Mr.
C. ANSTEY, Mr.VILLIERS, Mr. AGLIONBY, and Mr. Alder-
man SIDNEY, was negatived on a division by 135 to 75.
Mr. RAIKES CURRIE (who had presided over the meet-
ing of the electors of London at which the petition was
agreed to praying to be heard in reference to the election
of Baron ROTHSCHILD) would not after the decision of the
House press the petition, more especially as there wero
portions of the petition of which he did not approve.
Mr. ANSTEY would, since the Honourable Gentleman
refused to do his duty, move that the electors of the city
of London be heard by counsel at the bar of the House
according to the prayer of this petition.
Mr. AGLIONBY supported the motion.

Mr. B. OSBORNE advised the Noble Lord at the head
of the Government to bring in a Bill abolishing all reli-
gious tests, and added that if the House of Lords con-
tinued to refuse the admission of Jews to Parliament,
people would demand a reform of their Lordships'
House.

Sir J. TYRELL opposed tho motion.
Mr. lloaHousE supported the motion, which, on a di-
vision, was negatived by 77 to 41.
The adjourned debate on Lord Joati RutaELL's mo-
tion of Tuesday last, declaring Mr. Alderman SALo-
moNs incompetent to sit until he took the oath of
abjuration in the form prescribed by law, was then
resum ed.

Mr. ANSTZY proposed an amendment, declaring the
expediency of forthwith making such an alteration in
the form of the oath as would enable the Honourable
Member, without violating his religious scruples, to
take it.

After some observations from Mr. HEADLAX find Mr.
J. EVANS, _ _

Mr. BETHELL 'urged the Noble Lord at the head of
the Government not to press his resolution; but, as two
actions had been brought against Alderman SALOMONS
for penalties, to postpone the discussion until the de-
cision of a court of law should have been taken as to the
validity of the oath as taken by the Hon. Member for
Greenwich.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, that though perfectly willing
that the opinion of a court of law should be taken upon
any question which could properly come before it, he
could not see how it could be a case for such a court
whether a Member of that House had or had not duly
taken the requisite oaths.
After some observations from Mr. ANSTEY and Mr.
J. A. SMITH,

The House again divided, when there appeared--
For the resolution ••• ••• 123
Against it ••• ••• ••• 68

The House then passed to the orders of the day.

An admirable, because moderate, suggestion in re-
ference to the Crystal Palace will this evening be
submitted to the House of Commons by the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for North Lancashire. From
our proximity to the day which will witness the pro-
rogation of Parliament by the SOVEREIGN, we are
peculiarly rejoiced that the question is reduced to the
very reasonable limits proposed by Mr. HEYWOOD,
so that the objections of all parties indiscriminately
may be waived until such time as the Legislature has
leisure to remove all responsibility in the matter from

the shoulders of the Royal Commissioners. Unless
some such delay is permitted the public may
be deprived of an inestimable boon by a servile
obedience to a preposterous punctilio. What
Mr. HEYWOOD suggests is this, that an address
be presented to her MAJESTY, praying for the preser-
vation of the Crystal Palace at the very least until
the Mayday of 1852, in order that sufficient time may
be afforded to determine whether it may not be se-
cured with advantage to the metropolis for " purposes
of public utility and recreation." By couching this
demand in these most unexceptionable terms of mode-
ration, the advocates for the retention of the building
have an infinitely better chance of disarming their
opponents, and of insinuating themselves into a
position of success, such as might otherwise
prove altogether unattainable. Besides which the
procrastination of a definitive resolve may tend in the
most effectual way to reconcile those to the idea who
are at present its most violent antagonists. Those, at
least, are our opinions, because we regard the question
at issue as admitting only of one view after a reason-
able amount of consideration.

Latterly the population have heard the matter dis-
cussed in all its bearings, not merely by journal-
ists in the newspapers and by legislators in the Par-

liament, but also, and in a more elaborate manner,
by the advocates pro and con., who have con-
sidered it worth their while to come forward
in the character of pamphleteers. "DENARIUS " has
already spoken at length upon the benefits which
would inevitably accrue to the public from the em-
ployment of the Crystal Palace as a winter garden
and as an arena for summer amusements. " GREVILLE''
has since insisted upon what he considers the folly of
such a proposition,* maintaining that the Commission
should be faithful to its promise of a removal of the
edifice by the exact period stipulated. What the
nature of that compact is may be readily perceived by
a glance at an announcement made this morning to
the following effect :—" Yesterday a Parliamentary
paper was printed, containing a copy of the Royal war-
rant to enter on the ground in Hyde-park for the
Great Exhibition, and a copy of the deed of covenant
from the Commissioners to her MAJESTY, by which
they undertake that the said Exhibition shall be
closed and concluded on or before the Ist of Novem-
ber, 1851.' According to this agreement, all things
are to be removed and carried away at the expense of
the Commissioners by the Ist of June, 1852, and they
will be—if the public do not interfere." Now, we
have heard it very distinctly proclaimed by the PRIME
MINISTER, that this interference of the public is the
only thing which can lead to the release of the Royal
Commissioners from the difficulty of their present
situation, authoriing them to connive at the pre-
servation of the Crystal Palace, instead of permitting
them to insist upon its removal after the let of No.
vembt:r. Hence it has been, bearing in re
menabrance this assurance from the lips of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself, that we have
regarded with CO much satisfaction the number of
petitions recently poured in upon the tables of both
Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Those petitions
it will, doubtless, have been remarked emanated not
exclusively from the ieliabitants of the metropolis,
coming rather from all parts, sometimes from the re-

"An answer to What is to become of the Crystal
Palace ?' By Greville." Bvo., pp. 29. London : 011i-
vier. 1851.

motest quarters, of the United Kingdoms. Our pro-
vincial fellow-countrymen, indeed, have regarded the
matter at once in its just light, and at its proper
value, as one of a national, rather than a merely
local interest. Therefore it is that they have
petitioned in favour of the preservation of
the Crystal Palace with as much right, and
almost with as much reason, as the citizens
of London and Westminster. Looking at the entire
transaction from the same point of view, we must
acknowledge that it is no less a subject of anxiety to
the country at large that the capital of England
should rejoice in this public building, than it is that
they should experience pleasure, as they unquestionably
do, on visiting either the British Museum or the
National Gallery. Besides, the country at large is
annually taxed for the maintenance of the last-men-
tioned. establishments ; whereas it is merely proposed
that the Crystal Palace shall be self-supporting, being
founded in the first instance by the surplus funds
derived from the Great Industrial Exhibition.

Whatever Lord CAMPBELL may say as to the injury
inflicted upon household property in the neighbour-
hood, it is undeniable that no such evil as that com-
plained of has, up to this present moment, been any-
where experienced. Another nobleman, residing in
the immediate vicinity of the Crystal Palace, has em-
phatically asserted as much—we mean Lord Lis-
TOWEL. From the facts everywhere accumulated,
in short, in reference to the project of ren-
dering the structure permanent, it must be
confessed that hitherto we have only derived
perpetually increasing arguments in favour of that
desirable proposition. Hence, late as the time is in
the Parliamentary session, we cannot but think that
Mr. PAxToN has reason to feel gratified at the proba-
bility, almost amounting to a certainty, of our being
enabled by the Legislature to release the Crystal
Palace from the fate hanging over it by reason of the
solemn engagement of the Royal Commissioners.
We look with no small degree of confidence to Mr.
HEYWOOD'S motion of this evening for the
dissipation of all further anxiety upon the
subject, satisfied that the House of Commons
must recognise at once the reasonableness
and moderation of his suggestion, and persuaded, if
possible, yet more decidedly that her MAJESTY will
rejoice at the demand submitted to her faithful sub-
jects in the Commons House of Parliament. Our
close proximity to the prorogation renders it impe-
ratively necessary that whatever steps are to be
taken should be prompt and decisive. It is doubly
satisfactory therefore to find this evening fixed upon
for his motion by the Hon. Gentleman the Represen-
tative of North Lancashire.

The news brought by the Overland Mail, which
has just arrived from India, is, we are happy to say,
of the most uninteresting description. Throughout
the length and breadth of the British territory every-
thing is tranquil ; all the officials seem enjoying them-
selves; thanks to the valour of NAPIER and the de-
cision of ELLENBOROUGH, Sinde is as quiet and the
inhabitants are as satisfied as though such beings as
the Ameers had never existed. The firm
but just rule of the British is favourably
contrasted by the Sindians with the cruel and capri-
cious tyranny of their former masters, and nowhere
has her Britannic MAJESTY more faithful subjects
than on the banks of the Indus. The Punjaub is
now beginning to feel the advantage of British rule.
For the first time since the death of RUNJEET SINGH
the Punjaub is, thanks to the victories of GOUGH and
the administrative talent of DALHOUSIE, tran-
quil ; for the first time in the history of
the Punjaub its inhabitants have experienced
the blessings of a government administered
according to law, the rule of right has replaced the
rule of might, and so entirely have the inhabitants
given in their adhesion to the British Government—
so tranquil under the rule of law has the whole country
become—that the Governor-General has thought it
safe to direct the release of 72 political prisoners, who
had been sentenced to various periods of imprison-
ment as rebels. Details such as these are not so ex-
citing as bulletins from Meanee and Hyder-
abad, from Sobraon and Goojerat, but they are
of infinitely greater importance, inasmuch as
they prove that those great battles have not been
mere barren victories, but that they have rescued
millions of men from the tyranny of profligate Ameers
and semi-barbarous Seikhs, and that the men thus
rescued, grateful for the blessings of British rule,
are now among the firmest supporters of the
British Sovereignty over India. Sinde and the
Punjaub in their present state bear striking
proofs of the :.wisdom of the policy of
annexation, as contrasted with that of protection.
Sinde and the Punjaub, which have been annexed, are
as tranquil as Yorkshire but if we turn to the terri-
tories of the protected native Princes, a very different
picture presents itself to our view. " The NIZAM'S
territories," says the Indian newswriter, " are much
as usual," and thereupon he gives the following de-
scription of the " much as usual" state of the NIEAM
and his dominions :—" The NizAsi himself continues
besieged, as it were, in his palace by thousands of
unpaid soldiers clamouring for their arrears, who
debar access to and egress from many of his
palace gates ; his own officials are thus obstructed.
On a complaint made to him lately by
one who had thus with difficulty reached his pre-
sence, he remained silent, and could suggest no
remedy for this insult ; many of the soldiery, how-
ever, think it better to pay themselves than to waste
their time in dunning their insolvent master. Two
hundred of these, on the Ist of June, attacked
and plundered the house of SYED ALI, a Fakeer
of great sanctity and enormous wealth, being the
spiritual adviser of the Nizara and half the opulent
men and nobles of the city. The town police
having attempted to interfere were tied up and
severely beaten, and the plunderers got off with
their booty, which is stated to have been immense."
Surely it is a duty we owe to the inhabitants of this
protected territory to save them from the conse-
quences of the incompetence, or something worse, of
this native Prince, and to give them that security for
life and property, and that consequent tranquillity
which the inhabitants of Sinde and the Punjaub now
enjoy under British rule. It may be said that we
have guaranteed to the NIZAM that he shall
reign, but such guarantee must necessarily be re-
strained by the proviso that he shall be capable of
reigning. We may guarantee to a man that on pay-
ment of a shilling he shall see the Exhibition,
but such guarantee would not bind us to restore
sight to a blind man, neither does the guarantee
given by the East India Company to the protected
Princes bind the Company to uphold them
in their abuse of authority, coute qui coute.
It is clear that if a protected Prince is manifestly in-
capable of managing his own territory, it is a duty
the Company owes to the subjects of the Prince to
take the management of the territory into their own
hands ; and after the success of the experiment of an-
nexation in the cases of Sinde and the Punjaub, we
hope the principle will be applied wherever it is ca-
pable of application.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, commanded by Capt.

warded to the Cape of Good Hope, for the use of an officer
in her Majesty's service, the Lords of the Treasury have
given directions to the proper authorities to permit the pis-
tols to be removed from the Exhibition Building and de-
livered to Colonel Lawrence, as requested.
