THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
The Crystal Palace this morning presented more of
the appearance to which we had got accustomed before
the accession of the shilling visitors. Immediately of ter
the opening of the doors, at twelve o'clock, a great num-
ber of season ticket holders entered the building, though
many left early, to attend the Queen's drawing-room,
Lehi to-day to commemorate her Majesty's birthdt►y.
The crowd was, however, exceedingly numerous, and pre-
sented the usual fashionable and gaily-attired appear-
ance. Lounging, too, seemed once more the order of the
day, and the seats in the transept and the refreshment
departments were filled as of old throughout the entire
morning, gossiping and criticising the ♦arious groups
which passed along. Atter the opportunity of to
further comparison, we may again remark
that in point of orderly demeanour, and appa-
reedy thorough appreciation of the trea.surea
around them, and a desire satisfactorily to inspect them,
the shilling visitors do not yield to their more ariatoc ratio
habitues, as we may now cull them. Ono remarkable
characteristic may be mentioned, that the number (if lost
articles found about the building by the police after• the
departure of visitors at the closing hour is considerably
less on the shilling days than it was before. Indepen-
dently of those which have been owned and restored,
there lies, at the station-house opposite, a magazine of
lost property for which no owners have appeared, suffi-
cien ily large to stock a decent-sized general store. Ciumbric
handkerchiefs by the hundreds, we may almost say; g loves,
parasols, furs, bracelets, brooches, and rings even, shove that
the tairer portion of the visitors are the most careless ; while
not a few riding canes and walking-sticks seemed t;o in-
dicate that gentlemen are but little batter. The number
of visitors )e..terciay amounted to 30,345, and the re-
ceipts at the doors were 2,8392 Es. Season tickets to the
amount of 614 193. were sold also in the course of the
day.

In imitation of the style of dscoration adopted in the

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) ,
After hearing some unimportant motions, their LOW
ships proceeded with the cases in the Crown piper,
which occupied them the remainder of the day.

DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. HARMER.
Mr. E. JAMES, Q.C., moved for a rule nisi calling
upon the plaintiff to show cause why he should not pal
the costs of the first trial in this action. The action was
for an alleged libel published in the Weekly Dispatch
newspaper, of which the defendant was proprietor, eg
far back as the year 1830, and upon the first trial die
plaintiff; with the aid of evidence of a very questionable
character, succeeded in obtaining a verdict for 5001.
damages. The Court, however, was subsequently made:
acquainted of the nature of the evidence which induced
the jury to return that verdict, and, upon the application
of the defendant a new trial was ordered, which was tried
in February last, before the present Lord Chief Justice,
when the former verdict was reversed. Since then fact.
have come to light tending to show that before the first
trial the plaintiff was fully cognizant of the doubtful
nature of the evidence which led to the verdict in she
first instance, and hence it was contended on the part of
the defendant that he ought to pay the costs of both trials.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN observed that the present
motion was virtually to amend the terms of the rule alr
solute granting the new trial.
Mr. E. JAMES said certainly that would be the ulti-
mate effect of his motion.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN suggested, under those cir•
cumstances, that the application had better be made to
the full court.

Mr. JAMES thanked his Lordship for the suggestion,
and said he wou:d move the full court accordingly on
Monday.

BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Charles Blow, a decorator in the Lyceum Theatre,
was convicted of assaulting Henry Cooper, the box-
keeper, and was fined 31. The defendant had some
words with his mother, who keeps a refreshment stall:
for the boxes, and on the complainant's interfering in
order to suppress the altercation he was struck the blow
complained of.

GRAND REVIEW .11V ST. JAMES'S PARK-

(THIS DAY.)
This morning, having been appointed for the celebra-
tion of her Majesty's birth-day, was ushered in by the
merry peals of Kensington, St. Martin, St. Margaret,
end other metropolitan churches, and the usual review
of the Household Troops, stationed in London, took place
on the Parade, in St. James's Park. As early as nine
o'clock the battalions were marched to the ground, and
consisted of the 2d R,gimeet of Life Guards, with their
splendid band ; the 2d and 3d battalions of Grenadier
Guards, and the 2d battalion of Coldstream and' Fusi-
lier Guards ; the whole, when formed into square, ex-
tending nearly to the wall of the Admiralty and the
railings of the inclosure, the Life Guards being sta-
tioned by Lady Dover's house. An immense assemblage
of fashionable company was collected in the centre,
where they had been admitted by tickets. Precisely at
ten o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the. Duke
of Wellington, his Ro3al Highness the Duke of Saxe
Coburg, and the oilier illustrious foreigners now, on a
visit to her Majesty, rode into the square, attended by a
brilliant staff, the bands playing the National Anthem,
and were received with loud cheers. The gallant piarty
then proceeded down the front and rear of the lines, and
took up their position by the Horse Guards, the trcinps
marching past in slow and quick time. The finenesa of
the weather caused the Fark to be thronged, and the
roofs of all the public buildings near presented a dense
mass of human beings in the gayest attire. At the
close of the review the Royal party left in the same
order as distinguished their arrival.
