for the death peal of the exhibition to be rung
out. Some one hung out from the gallery of the

the well known passage from Shakspeare's "Tem-
sour rsvels now are ended these our actors,
As foretold you were all spirits, and
Are melted into air into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

minute or two was allowed to elapse before the
fatal signal given, and, during this brief inter.

possible with the tongue, has sent the most power

and China had to come to the rescue with her gongs,
and India to strike up some fine savage notes from
her tom toms, before the signs of an intention to
depart were Enthusiastically manifested. The con-
course ofpeople, for a long time, rem aimed massed
together, as if no power could separate or fuse
them; but. at last, small currents and ripples of
human beings might be seen setting towards the
exit doors, and these gradually in volume and rar

the gas lamps were lighted, and the building, di-
vided between the empire of day and night, as
sumed an aspect curiously in harmony with its de-
funct character. The crowds flowed out faster
every minute, and first the western, aud then the
eastern portion Of the nave began TO show vacant
spaces. In the meantime, the ringing Of the bells
was occasionally suspended, and in the intervals,
hearty cheers were given for Prince Albert, for the
Prince of Wales, for Mr.. Paxton for Mr.. Fox, for
the exhibitors, and upon various other grounds.
An attempt, too, was made by some vocasists to

the sappers appeared on the scene, first in small
knots, and then, when they bad moved the people

members Of their staff met in the transept when it
