GERMANY.

The Prussian division of occupation left Electoral
Hesse on the 213 t. The ELECTOR reviewed the bat-
talion at Cassel, and accompanied it as far as the

Frontier.

The Free Press of Berlin, 23d, says :—" The
Prussian Gazette has announced that the Senate was
engaged on a proposition of General LEGEDITSCII,
concerning the press of this city. We can add that
the Senate has decided on taking no step in this af-
fair, and on waiting until the Germanic Diet shall
have come to a general resolution respecting the laws
for the regulation of the press."
The German journals state that the democrats o
Thuringia are beginning to display activity. In moo
of the communes wet lily collections are made for sup.
porting the red journals; at Sonnenberg a de.
mocratic union has been formed ; and a recent demo.
cratic anniversary was celebrated with a certain de
gree of pomp.

HE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY )
The fineness of the wtither, and the assurance which
yesterday's experience gave tbat the shilling admission
fee had not bad the effeet of over-crowding the building
to en inconvenient extent, seemed this morning to
haveinduced a larger number to wend their
way to the Crystal Palace than visited it yes-
terday. From ten to eleven o'clock 8 894 visi-
tors passed through the deers; at twelve o'clock the
number had increased to 15 699; and when we lest, at
one o'clock, something over 20,000 had passed through
the doors in the morning. The transept and tho naves
presented a much more crowded appearance than they
did yesterday, acd though not so brilliant, was perhaps
as numerous as on the .ss. days. One change, however,
is perceptible at the first glance—the lounging class
bad vanished entirely, and the stream of visitors passed
uninterruptedly along, without the tendency to hover
about particular spots, which was a marked cha-
racteristic of the former class of visitors. Although
of the most miscellaneous description, the crowd
was most respectable. The vigilance of the
police, however, is kept on a perpetual stretch,
and three or four suspicious characters have
already been apprehended in the exercise of their
profession. Yesterday two women were apprehended
by two foreign policemen in the act of picking a lady's
pocket, and on being searched a puree was found on
one of them, the contents of which she was unac-
quainted with, neither could she give an account
where she had obtained it. The probability is that it
was a spoil which they had taken from some person in
the Exhibition in the course of the day. The purse still
remains in the hands of the police to be identified.
Officers well acquainted with the persons of almost all
the professional thieves were stationed at the
doors, and on any suspicious characters passing
through they are followed, and their proceedings
narrowly watched. Detectives, in plain clothes, also
are stationed in various departments of the building, and
every possible precaution has been taken to provide for
the protection of the public.
The Duke of Wellington visited the Exhibition this
morning; he arrived about half-past twelve, and entered
at the east door, but efer pasting a short way
up the centre avenue, he found the crowd too great
to pass through conveniently, and departed after having
been about ten minutes in the building. Doling his stay
be was the object of gnat attention, a great mt.j..rity of
the visitors perhaps te.vcr having b,rfore gazed on the
greatest warrior of the age.

A grand (Weimer printonier demi chaud-froid

The arivices from America are unimportant, being,
as regards business, only two days later than those br.ught
by the Pacific, but they report c ntinued animation in the
stock-market, and the prospect of steady shipment of specie
to this country. The total exports of gold and silver from
New York since the Ist of January had now reached upwards
2,000,(XX)/, egrling. iglu California thrara FV39 uotbing
