LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 22, 1850.

CINDI:RELLA and her gl,As slipper, wonderful as is
the history of their adventures, dwindles into insig-
niflcanc.-3 when contrasted with Britannia and her
palace. The imagination becomes irresistibly
fascinated by the conjectures arising out of the pros-
pect of the latter spectacle. Any one in the slightest
decree acquainted with the extraordinary influences
or emulation, even when those influences are deve-
loped among mere individuals, will inevitably be dis-
posed to anticipate great things from such an indus-
trial emulation as that likely to be superinduced by
next year's exposition, seeing that in this instance the
whole of the nations of the world are to be the com-
petitors. Out of a rivalry of so gigs ntic and conspicucus
a character it is impossible that strange consequences
should not emerge, consequences calculated to effect
in a surprising manner the interests of both hemi-
sphere, and to expedite, in a no less astonishing man-
nor, the onward march of civilisation.

While we are counting, however, thus confidently
on the beneficent
.advantages likely to accrue to our-
selves and our world diffused contemporaries, we
should bear particularly in mind the circumstance
that the arena of this memorable competition will be
our own metropolis. To the capital of the British
empire, therefore, the representatives of all
the principal powers of the earth will be attracted
for the purpose of observing the relative value and
excellence of their productions. Intelligent foreigners
from the north and from the south, from the east
and from the west, will haven to London with a pre.
determination to exercise an unusual vigilance and a
more than ordinary discrimination. Their endeavour
to be present on the banks, of the Thames on an oc-
eaision so momentous to themselves, as well as to
England, wiil be greenly facilitated by those increased
powers of locomotion which man has acquired
of lute 3 ears by the scientific employment
of steam in is application to machinery. Added to
the fact of :hese railways threading the continents of
Europe and America, and of these steamers travers-
ing the Atl.intio and Pacific Oceans—the almost
universal peace just now pervading the chief countries
of the habitable glob-, will tend in a peculiar degree
0 multiply the number of our visitors. The enter- /
