THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
-Placards are posted all over the building to-day, an-
nouncing that to-morrow the Great Exhibition will
finally close to the public. Those, therefore, who have
net interest with the Executive Committee, or who are
unacquainted with an exhibitor, must make the most of
to-morrow, or they will miss one of the most magnificent
spectacles that the world has ever produced. It seems a
pity that the Exhibition should close before the end of
the month, when it would have been opened exactly six
months, but there is now no chance of the present
resolution being: changed, and many exhibitors
have already begun to make preparations for
removing their property. Wednesday next is
looked forward to with some amount of anxiety
by several gentlemen who have contributed largely to
the English department. It is anticipated that on that
eventful day the Royal Commissioners will deliver a full
report of their stewardship, and perhaps let out some-
thing as to the future fate of the edifice itself, but
it is not probable that there will be anything in the
shape of pageantry got up on this interesting occasion,
such as was witnessed at the opening. It will no doubt
be simply a mere leave-taking between the Commis-
sioners and the exhibitors, and the documents which are
then to be forthcoming will doubtless form the most attrac-
tive feature of the meeting. The visitors of to-day were
composed chiefly of the middle class; but although
the price et admission was half-a-crown, there
were, nevertheless, largo batches of the agricultual
interest, and a great number of people having
the appearance of German emigrants present. There
was a good sprinkling, too, of persons attired in the
military uniform of various continental states, and these,
added to the variety of colours worn by the ladies, gave the

tout ensemble of Vice interior a very-brilliant aspect. It
was said that two or three members of th© Belgian Go-
t vertu:neat were amongst the visitors ;if that really were
so, they must have been as much struck with the absence
of anything like a gaard over the priceless objects ex-
hibited as with the splendid scene itself; fur at the re-
emt exhibition of the painting of till nations collected
in. Brussels, each department or chamber was closely
Watched by detachments from the army when the show
was thrown open to the general public. Notwithstand
log that the weather to-day has been mild and congenial,
the numbers returned by the police have fallen consider-
ably short of those of the last four days. They are at

There was, consequently, g ercshin or crowding,
and every part of this ninth wonder of the world was seen
to-day with the utmost ease and comfort imaginable.
