the subjoined view Of European intelligence:
LONDON, OcroBER 10, 1851.
The Great Exhibition is drawing to close, and
truly SO high has been the excitement respecting IT,
during the past AID passing week, that it was and
is almost fearful. The great fact Of more than
100000 persons visiting the Crystal Palace one
day has been accomplished, by the respective
numbers of lO7,8l5. O9,9l5, and lO7, ,76O having
day, and Wednesday of this week. The entire
number Of vsiters for the week is 45l 379 and the
amount received g24,967 lbs Cd. So great was
tie amount of silver received at the doors on Tues
Gay that it weighed fifteen cwt., and was con-
veyed to the Bank in two carriages. The attend
ance would no doubt have been larger had the
weather been favorable. Probably so large an
assemblage never before met under the same
roof; the police estimates the number assembled at
one time on Tuesday to have been upwards Of
10000. Nothing could exceed The good conduct
and good temper Of the people. When the crowd
became too dense, they stood STILL and TRANQUILITY
eat their sandwiches. The only thing which tend
ed materially to disturb the general harmony was
the frequent disruption of domestic ties, by the
sweeping away of children from their parents by
the pillows of the great human torrent. The police
station has been filled several times with squalling
innOcents, and large detachment of the police
force might be almost constantly seen doing the
duty of careful nursemaids, in carrying the little
stTays to the harbor Of refuge. All music was pro-
hbied as tending to congestion, and the guardian
of the Queen Of Spain's jewels thought it wise to
withdraw them from the pressure. These were
the only alterations in the arrangement 1t was
gratifying to observe that the great mass thus
gregated together took time to pause, with spOn-
tane0us and instructive discipline, before many Of
the objects most deserving observation.
The Dukeof WELLINGTON was one of the visiters
on Monday, and his visit not the least hazard
Gus exploit Of his Grace's long and brilliant ca
reer The desire Of the crowd to see the hero Of a
hundred fights was so great that " considerable
smash" took place among the French glass, and all
the exertons of the police required to get the
Duke safely out of the building. His Grace was a
good deal discomposed by the pressure, and seem
ed to think that even popularity and public graft
tude might run into excess. As compliment 10
KossUTH, who probably will not reach England
until after the Exhibition has closed, the Royal
Commissioners have directed that the Hungarian
strangers shall be admitted at any time, provided
that every thing like political demonstration is
avoided. Additions continue to be made, even thus

have increased their previously rich collection Of
bronzes by the head Of negro girl, Of singular
originality and trnthfnlnos., und many new and
splendid articles of jewelry have been added. The
great Austrian Opal, without flaw or blemish,
weighing 525a carats, attracts much attention. Sc
veral new mosaics have also been added to the
Tuscan department, and some fine minerals from
Cornwall. The strength of the building, as tested
by the crowds who have visited it during the last
three days, has wonderfully frightened the pros
pect of its retention for winter garden. The
QUEEN is said TO have expressed herself in favor of
its retention. There was trial made the other
day before the Cleaveland Agricultural Society of
the relative merits of the reaping machines of
Messrs. McCoRMIcK and HUssEY, and jury de-
cded in favor of Mr.. Hussey's. Both are pro-
nounced capable Of improvement. Many Of the
choice articles of the Exhibition which were not
already disposed of are now finding purchasers.
raw produce will be bought by the Government,
for the purpose Of completing the collection at
Kew. The Russian Government have also given
instructions to their Commissioner to purchase
similar collection for the Museums at st. Peters

of yesterday, will exceed 100000. .l 9l

Itappears from this that the drain ON the resources
of the bank for the payment of the dividends has
almost ceased, and that in consequence of the inn
ports through Havre the bullion has again increased
