LONDON, TUESDAY, N(l7. 13, 186€.

The close of the Industrial Exhibition, which has
for the last ten weeks been held in the Agricultural
Hall, Islington, took place last evening with all
due ceremony. Exhibitions of this kind have of
late years grown common enough, but the one just
over possessed some important features. In the
first place, the number of its visitors-550,000—
redeemed it from insignificance, and the class which

11 they for the most represented proved that the great
desideratum was at last attained, and that the work-
ing men of the metropolis were really attracted by
it. In a pecuniary sense, too, the Metropolitan and
Provincial Working Classes' Exhibition, has a
right to claim attention. Besides meeting the esti-
mated liabilities, the Council have been able to
expend £BOO on prize medals, certificates, and me-
mentoes for exhibitors. Over half a million of
the visitors paid for their admission, so that the
Exhibition must pecuniarily be considered a great
success, although the various musicians, lecturers,
&c., who have added greatly to its attractions, gave,
for the most part, their services gratuitously. In-
cluding the silver and bronze medals and certificates
of honourable mention, 441 exhibitors out
of 1,455 have received marks of merit. The
Council, however, are not disposed to give
unqualified praise, but wisely point out
to the exhibitors the general deficiencies
of the exhibition. " The chief deficiencies are in
those important qualities which result from well-
directed study, and in originality of design, the
offspring of independent thought. At the same time
there arc abundant evidences of patient, laborious
perseverance, of earnest assiduity, and particularly
of technical skill and manual dexterity, which give
promise of more decided excellence." This is per-
haps as much as could reasonably be expected, since
it is only within the last few years that any attempt
has been made to cultivate a taste for design among
our workmen, or to give them the opportunity of
improving any artistic abilities which they
may possess. We cannot expect to find
the flower; where we have not sown the
seed, and until lately it seemed to be considered
useless to attempt encouraging art workmanship
among the English. Our workmen have too often
but little opportunity of cultivating their taste for
the beautiful either in nature or art, but they are by
no means deficient in the appreciation of it. Lord
JOHN MANNERS, who presided over the ceremonies
of last evening, mentioned that last year his pre-
decessor in office had at the close of the season dis-
tributed the plants from the royal parks and gardens
among such of the working classes who cared to
apply for them. The number of plants thus given
away was about 20,000. This year he had been glad
to follow so good an example, and to his great
pleasure the demand had increased from 20,000 to
50,000. As Lord JOIIN 'MANNERS observed, such an
employment of his leisure hours can hardly fail to
refine and improve the taste of the artisan or me-
chanic,
and fit him for the study of the various de-
grees of art workmanship. Some years ago, when
visiting Ireland, he had been struck with the beauty
of the sculpture adorning the fine new ball of the
Dublin University. lie found on inquiry that the
workmen who had embellished it had real leaves
and flowers for their copy. There is no reason why
our metropolitan workmen should not profit to an
equal extent by the study of the beautiful in nature.
Another gratifying and suggestive fact in con-
nection with this exhibition was the large number
of men who brought their wives and families with
them. What our working classes very much need
is some place where they can obtain rational re-
creation which ail can share in. If we improve the
wives and mothers we shall improve and elevate the
homes and the children ; but, as it is, the hard-
working women have too often no resource but
gossip, while their husbands have no other alter-
native than a dreary, unattractive room and the
public-house. It would be better, instead of warn-
ing men against temptation, to offer them some
counteracting inducements to steadiness and so-
briety; and if our social reformers bore more often
in mind the sound but unpoetical maxim about
Jack and work, they would be more likely to
achieve practical good than by truing to theories
and sermons.

Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, the Recorder of London,
attended yesterday at the Hartley Institution,
Southampton, in order to distribute the prizes which
had been awarded to the successful candidates in the
Oxford and Cambridge local examinations held
there. After the ceremony was over the right hon.

before him. He expressed his great satisfaction as a
member of one of the old universities that the uni-
versities should have " struck out this new course
of usefulness for themselves." This is strictly true,
for in nothing have these time-honoured institutions
lof our land more recommended themselves to the
respect and admiration of the present generation
than in their adoption of their system of local
examinations. Many besides Mr. GURNEY must
feel pride and delight, and when they see the use-
fulness of those institutions extended or diffused,
the more so when they recall the happy days they
once passed within their precincts, where they de.
rived the benefits of instruction. Mr. GURNEY'S

and he frankly admits that whilctheydas, and aredyidanincal-
culable amount of good in earlier

impossible
to deny that the number of students
is very small in comparison with those who ought
to share the benefit of the best sort of education.
course, there is nothing to be surprised at in this when
we bear in mind the great increase which has taken
place in the number and population of the country.
In olden times the streets of Oxford were crowded
with students, but now these are, for the most part,
confined to richer members of the community, ex- '
cept where ancient endowments were founded for
necessitous students. In dwelling on this point,
Mr. GURNEY said, " Well, indeed, did these en-
dowments do their work in many cases, by giving a
noble education to many who could not otherwise
have obtained it." As a proof of this he related an
anecdote which perfectly well illustrated his mean-
ing. He was told by a gentleman who had ob-
tained high distinction in his profession that he was
the soli of a country clergyman, whose means did not
permit him to give his son all the advantages he
desired, but agreed to defray the expenses
of the
and during the
first year. The sou went to Oxford,

first year he distinguished himself so much that he
obi ~wined a scholarship, and was enabled to complete
Ills own education afterwards. Certainly there is
:no more profitable way of investing money than
-this, to invest it for the benefit of posterity, and
enable those whose merits deserve recognition to
make their way to the position which is their due.
Continuing his reminiscences of the same gentle-
man's career, Mr. GURNEY pointed him out as an
example to his young hearers, and to show that
energy and perseverance may often accomplish
great things in another direction. When he was
called to the bar he had no important connections,
and did not know how he would get on, but soon
after there was a suit in Chancery in which one of
the colleges was concerned, and the solicitor called
on the bead of the college to inquire if any par-
ticular gentleman should be engaged. The head
of the college replied that he did not know any
one, but that a gentleman lately called had made
a translation he had been much struck with,
and he should wish him to have a brief. In conse-
quence the brief was given, and the young lawyer
acquitted himself so creditably that he was never
afterwards in want of a brief. " I mention this
circumstance," said the right hon. gentleman, " for
the purpose of showing my young friends that there
is no one good work, nor one decided proof of in-
dustry and talent, on which future fruits may not
hang." Such advice and encouragement are ad-
mirable, and must lead either directly or indirectly
to incite and influence those who are beginning
their careers. Semper paratus should, in truth, be
the mottoes of those who have to work their own
way in the world, and they should not let a chance
slip by for want of care and assiduity. As Mr.
GURNEY truly observed, the age at which young
men were now sent up made a difference, and to
get over the difficulties thus presented recourse
was had to the old mode, as the mountain would not
go to MAIIOMET, MAHOMET must go to the moun-
tain. By the institution of oral examination the
Universities did as much as they possibly could for
those young people who could not get to them. The
Universities send examiners into the great towns,
and ascertain the amount of knowledge and also
the amount of ignorance. This raises the standard
of education, and of course the distribution of prizes
and certificates hold out an inducement that never
existed before. No doubt the attendant benefits on
such institutions as these local examinations are
very considerable ; and they have also induced the
masters to make greater exertions, in order that they
may appear creditably at the ordeal through which
they have to pass. Dr. ARNOLD made some interest-
ing observations on the merits of examinations as
regarded reading, in which he said that a student
wanted them not only to excite him, but to do away
with a sort of indistinctness that is apt to assail a
lonely reader as to the amount of his acquirement;
so that he may not think he has a very accurate
conception of anything, while he is at the time quite
imperfect in it.
The study of history is too apt to bo neglected in
these days, and Mr. GURNEY regretted to find that
in the Southampton examination it was found that
it had not been so well attended to as it should have
been. This, as he truly said, was not a time when
such a branch of study could be safely put aside.
" When more power was being given to the great
body of the people, if they were not versed in
history, they would not be fit to perform the duties
which devolved upon them as citizens of the country."
By the attentive suing of all things relating to
this important subject, by studying the history
of their own country:of old times and of other days,
they cannot fail to have better thinkers, and more
experienced judges. Mr. GURNEY, in his very com-
prehensive speech, adverted to the circumstance that
at Southampton they had no examination for
females, but it had been shown that no difficulty
existed in this respect if they had a good ladies'
committee. Dr. ARNOLD has said that great want
is felt in this important respect, and girls labour
under great disadvantages in this respect. As a
proof of the good derived from these trials it may
be cited that at an examination 90 per cent. failed
in the first year in arithmetic, but in the
next only three failed. In concluding his
address the right honourable gentleman made
some earnest and eloquent exhortations to
his hearers, and counselled them to go on and
persevere, that they should not pause in the hour of
triumph, and not to mistake the means for the end.
Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS has given some excellent advice
on this fact—" Have no dependence on your genius,
if you have great talents industry will improve
them. If you have but moderate abilities industry
will supply the deficiency. Nothing is denied to
well-directed labour ; nothing is to be obtained
without it." Such counsels and warnings are of in-
estimable advantage to those who are entering
on their careers, whether they are flushed with
success and over confident, or despondent and
apt to despair. It may safely be affirmed of the
youth of this generation that their way is made more
clear than it ever was to their predecessors ; they
are assisted by the most eminent men of their time,
and it remains for the most part with themselves
whether their careers are successes or failures.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Monday Evening.

The Emperor has invited the Prince Napoleon
Jerome to take part in the discussions relative to the
reorganisation of the Army. To this information
of the ltloniteurl may add that the Prince is now
at his chateau at Meudon, and that yesterday various
experiments wore made there with the new guns
recently manufactured there. The firing is very
rapid. Indeed the effect is that of a series of ex-
plosions at the same instant.
According to the journal L'ltalie, Baron de Bruck,
Austrian Minister at the Court of Florence, has
arrived in that capital.
The King of Bavaria, like the Emperor of Aus-
tria in Bohemia and Moravia, being desirous to
inspect those parts of his kingdom where the Bava-
rian Army came into conflict with the Prussian
troops, has left Munich for Franconia.

A letter has been received in Paris from M.
Ridel, a French missionary, which gives some inte-
resting particulars relative to the events in the
Corea. The Prince Regent of that country, a tri-
butary of China, sends ambassadors to China every
year. Ile received from them the false information
that the Chinese had commenced a general massacre
of the Europeans. He immediately seized and be-
headed Berndux, the vicar apostolic ; Dav eluy,his
coadjutor ; and the missionaries Beaulieu, de
Bretenieres, Dore, Aumaitre, Hain,
Pour-
thie, Petitnicolas, and a great number of
native Christians. As to M. Ridel he had been
closely concealed for three months in a private house
belonging to Christians, expecting every day that
he should be discovered and put to death. The
Mandarin of the district had arrested many Chris-
tians. Accounts of a later date than the letter of
M. Ridel state that happily he had been able to
escape with eleven missionaries, and had landed at
Tche-Fou, China, on the 7th of July. Two other
missionaries, Messrs. Feron and Calas, were wan-
dering among the mountains of the Corea, The,

French Government has taken energetic steps to
protect its subjects in that country. The remon-
strances of the representatives of France there had
been treated with contempt or inattention.
The Eastern question assumes more and more
importance. There is now no doubt that Russia is
arming to the teeth. A treaty with Prussia is
spoken of by some of the Paris papers. The Rus-
sian journals evidently anticipate something im-
portant in regard to Turkey. In the meantime
they are very disappointed with the appointment of
M. Beust, which seems to have excited as much dis-
satisfaction in Russia as in Prussia. They assert
that the object of M. Beust is to procure a treaty
of alliance between France, Italy, and Austria, to
be revenged upon Prussia. A Vienna journal, dis-
cussing the report about this supposed treaty, in
reply to the Prussian papers, says that Austria
would not be so foolish as to throw down the
gauntlet to Germany by allying herself with
foreigners. One of the Paris papers says—" Aus-
tria no doubt cannot forget that France has made
her lose a portion of her empire of Italy, but she
can still less forget that Prussia has compelled her
to lose Germany."
The English welshers have not been so successful
in France as they are sometimes in England. There
was an inundation of them at the Deauville races,
where they did a good deal of business, the French
having now quite a betting mania. They pretended
to belong to a company of agents, Morris and Co.,
Arundel-place, Coventry-street, London, which it
appears was only a pretence. After leaving Deau-
ville, which they did in a very great hurry, they
traversed Trouville, Villerville, Serquigny, Honfleur,
and Havre, from whence they went to Rouen and
Dieppe. They were about to start from that port
for England, but the police having learnt something
which was not to their advantage they were
arrested. These individuals, four in number, had a
considerable sum of money upon them which they
had won or had stolen from the boat. They were
taken before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at
Pout l'Eveque, charged with swindling. That
court sentenced them to a year's imprisonment and
to pay a fine of 100 f. and the expenses of the pro-
ceedings.
Madame Tussaud's exhibition of the likenesses of
great personages is likely to be eclipsed by a similar
attraction, which is to be sent from Sweden to the
Paris Exhibition. Figures of a large number of
individuals "in their habits as they lived," that is to
say, in the picturesque costume of the various pro-
vinces of Sweden and Norway, will fill a very con-
siderable space.
At the annual public meeting of the Academy of
Fine Arts, at the Institute, at which the president,
M. Gatteaux, took the chair, after appropriate
speeches, various prizes were distributed to archi-
tects, painters, sculptors, and musicians. The sub-
ject proposed by the academy for the Bordin prize
was " Instruction in the art of sculpture among the
Greeks and among the moderns ; information and
explanation in regard to the causes of its progress
and decline." Seven memoirs worthy of attention
were sent to the academy in answer to this appeal,
and that body was desirous to increase the number
of prizes. The Academy first awarded the prize
of 2,000 f. for Memoir No. 7, the authors of which
are Messrs. Louis and Rene Mesnard, who had pre-
viously received prizes ; secondly, a medal of I,ooof.
for No. 5, the author of which is M. d'Escamp.
Honourable mention was made of another Memoir,
the author of which wishes his name not to be dis-
closed.

A shocking case of wife murder has taken place
at Montvilliers, near Chartres. A woman, 71 years
of age, was found at her house bathed in blood. Iler
skull was broken nearly in pieces, probably with a
hatchet ; it is presumed that she struggled severely
as her arms were much cut. The police have reason
to suspect the husband, and he has been arrested,
but his statement is that he passed the evening with
a friend, and that he found his wife murdered
on the floor when he came home.

The funeral of M. Duveyrier took place yester-
day at Pere Lachaise, and was attended by many
persons eminent in dramatic and general literature.
Some affecting speeches were made over his grave.
M. Duveyrier was an arlent defender of St.
Simonianism. He was successively editor of the
Organisateur, Le Globe, and other papers. M.
Duveyrier was also a fertile dramatist, and wrote
several pieces in conjunction with his brother, who
assumed the name of Melesville, and with Seribe.
His most successful works are " Michel Perrin,"
" Le Toreador," and " Les Vepres Siciliennes."
A strange story is told about an egg merchant
at one of the Paris markets ; indeed, it may be
called "fowl and unnatural," as well as strange.
Having been indisposed for several days he had
kept his warehouse at a high temperature, at
the recommendation of his doctor, to promote
perspiration and slept there. A morning or two
ago he was awoke by a strange noise, and on jump-
ing up he saw on the floor about 150 little chickens,
which had been batched by the heat, and the floor
was strewed with egg-shells. The most obvious ex-
planation of this affair seems to be that the egg-
dealer had " made the place too hot to hold himself"
and his eggs.

It is, I believe, quite settled that the Emperor,
Empress, and the young Imperial Prince will leave
St. Cloud to-morrow for Compiegne. The fete of
the Empress on Thursday will be kept with more
than the accustomed festivity and ceremony.
Numerous invitations have been given.
It gthis afternoon, and the
rain seems likely to rainlikelyt againocontinue. The weather, how-
ever, is still warn).
