her Majesty returned 10 the dais, and the Marquis
Of BREApALBANE, by her Majesty's command, de-
clared " the Exhibition opened" "God save the
Queen" was again sang, and her Majesty and suite
retired, accompanied by the pealing huzzas Of the
assemblage within, which were re-echoed by the
thousands without, as soon as her Majesty appeared
outside the building. The company then wander
ed at will throughout the spacious avenues and di-
visions, examining the various stores collected
there, which takes closely printed quarto volume
of more one thousand pages to do very little more
than enumerate. The universally opinion
was, that the person must be very unreasonable
one whose widest ideas are not more than realized
by the Crystal Palace and its contents. In the
assembly within the building were to be seen
groupes of personages of every claim to notoriey.
In one knot were CAUssIDIERE, LEDRu RoLLIN, and
other expatriated Frenchmen of the extreme and
Red Republican school, and whose presence in
London has been regarded by the tinid as calcu-
lated to produce mischief and disorder, but who
were here lockers on calm and quiet and exhibit

of the country which has given them home.
Through the crowd were to be seen, hurrying to and
fro, the small Egyptian, the slender Arab, the Sc
date Turk, the imperturbable and portly Chinese,
the inhabitants of farther and hither Ind, and the
European of all shades and varieties. On the out
Streets most excellent order was maintained, and to
effect this the police abundantIy sufficient with

body guard Of the Queen. there was li,sra,Iy no no
mob - the greater part of the assembage appeared
to consist of comfortable artisans and mechanics
and their families, with aAlarge sprinking Of the
respectable middle ranks. Hundreds, probably
many thousands, Of foreigners were present yet the
appearance of the mass was most decidedly English
We are thankful that the great dearth of foreign
news saves US from levying upon your readers a
much heavier tax upon their time.
From FRANCE we hear little excepting that the
party Of order has been successful in some late
elections. The alarms which have lately prevail
ed respecting an outbreak on the 4th instant seem
greatly calmed, if not entirely vanished. There
are, however, most riotous tendencies in some of
the southern departments. We are sorry to have
to add that late commercial and financial statements
do not show that the confidence of the public in the
present order of things is by any means improving.
From SPAIN the only news is, hat the Government
of that country will not interfere in the affairs of
Portugal, except in case of extreme emergency.
From PORTUGAL there is report that the garrison
of Oporto has Joined the Duke O Saldanha's insur-
rectionary movement. The King of Naples has
had an attack Of dropsy, which threatens to become
serious. There is no doubt that England and France
have demanded the evacuation q Tuscany by the
Austrian troops. AUSTRIA has aised fresh diff
culties about the liberation Of LossurH and his
companions in exile; but it is expected that the
Porte will not be governed by them. Sir STRAIT
FORD CANNING has lately had long interviews with
the Sultan, and great hopes entertained that the
Hungarian patriots will soon be set at liberty The
Viceroy of Egypt has de6nitvely sanctioned the
construction Of the Alexandra, Cairo, and ,Suez
railway.
GERMANY, throughout its entire length and
breadth, does not furnish single item of news.
The Prussian Parliament is to he prorogued on the
10th instant. Financial questions Of grea impor-

Vienna.
The only business in the House of Commons
last evening the second reading of the bill or
removing the Jewish disabilities, which was chr
