The Pacific has thus made in succession the
three most rapid passages across the Atlantic on

Correspondents Of ths n Y. Commercial Advertiser
London, May 70, l65l.-Tbe last dates from this
side were by The Asia on the oath. 1t was then
mentioned that the cotton crisis at Liverpool ap-
peared to have passed off as it was anticipated it
would, without ef1ecting in any waygthe general
course ofSsound operations--a conclusion WHICH
has been farther confirmed during the past few
days For some time it has been felt that business
at Manchester was only restricted by the uncer-
tainty and dstrust which prevailed as to the price
of cotton, and there are now strong indications
that a large, steady and continuous trade will be
resumed by our manufacturers
At the same time confidence has evidently bean
produced by the increase Of bullion ESQ OOO) in
last weeks Bank returns, and the prospect of fur
ther augmentation, which has removed all fear of
any rise in the rate of discount being determined
upon under present circumstances at the Bank Of
England. In consequence of this, coupled with
the evidence daily afforded of the increasing pros.
perity of the great majority OF the people, the Lon
don stock market has experienced a further ad-
vance, and is still extremely firm. week ago
consols were at 81, and they have since been done
at 80. .y
With regard to trade in France, the accounts are
OF very opposite description, and as the discussion
on the revision of the constitution approaches, the
feeling of disquiet among capitalists becomes more
and more marked. American and Russian stocks
are being largely purchased by them, and during
the past week or two, they have also made con-
slderable investments in Peruvian at a price that
will not yield them larger interest than they could
get by purchasing their own retes, and which con-
sequently indicates that in their estimates regard
ing the financial security of nations, they putheir
own country and Peru upon a par.
"A document, printed in some Of the continental
newspapers week or two since, as copy OF a
letter which had been addressed by the Papal Gov.
ernmeut to the Austrian Minister, praying that
Austrian troops might he sent to garrison Rome in
preferences to those of France, who would become
dangerous if the republicans at Paris should at any
moment succeed to power has been proved, like q
manifesto lately attributed to Mazzini to be for.
gerry. There can be no doubt, however, that it
was clever exposure Of the real fears that now
torment the Pope and his advisers.
The contemplated meeting between the King OF
Prussia and the Emperers of Austria and Russia
is expected TO take place TO- day at Olmutz, in the
Austrian province of Moravia. There are of course
abundant runners to The nature of the plots to be
Matched on this occasion by the royal personages
and their advisers, and ii is probable that the DO
sition of affairs in France will occupy no small
share of their attention. r.
With regard to the prospect Of liberation for
kossuth and his colleagues, nothing further has
ranspired, except that parties who may be sup.
posed to represent the Austrian view OF the matter
assert in a taunting and confident way, that their
friends may give up all idea of their early release
In consequence OF a statement which has just
gone the round OF our papers, that an endeavor on
the part OF your coun,rymen to discover the remains
of Paul Jones, in order that they might be con-
veyed to America, had failed, captain of an Eng
fish merchant ship has written to The Times,
stating where they may be found. He says that
Paul Jones was Inferred in the strangers buryng
ground at Cronstadt, in Russia, and that he has
often seen the stone erected on the spot.
The great exhibition during the last few days
has furnished some curious results. Up to Satur-
day, the last day of the five shillings charge OF
the receipts continued marvellous, and
on that occasion, between the hours Of twelve in
the morning and six in the afternoon they amounted
to f507S. Every one in fact had fastened to get
a good view before the reduction OF the charge to
shilling should render the crowds too enormous,
and the number OF persons present could not have
been far short OF 35 900 or 40, 000
, This apprehension of the rush tho first shif
ling day had the effect, however, OF leading to SOM
parative emptiness, and there has perhaps hardly
been an occasion when the entire contents of the
building could have been more quietly observed
The total number Of visitors under % ,000 and
the receipts were only ;f960. The strange expe-
renoe of yesterday has also in great degree been
repeated to-day, the attendance having again been
moderate. ..
On Monday next, the Cd Of June, the railway
companies will commence bringing up cheap trains
from all parts of the country, and one Of the most
interesting stages OF the general movement will
then begin. As far as the general conduct of the
visitors is concerned, it still continues admirable

The Great Misunderstanding admission.
This is the first day which the humber classes
OF the people have had az opportunity of visiting
the interior Of the Glass Palace. 1t has been an
eventtul one. in the history of that extraordinary
building. From early dawn thousands f1ocked
into town by boat, and rail, and COACH to be pres
ent on this interesting occasion, and all the high
ways and by-ways leading to the metropolis, from
east and west and north aud south, were crowded
with pedestrians, all decting their steps to Hyde
Parksto behold the accumulated wonders of the ex--
hbtion. The metropolis itself poured forth its
thousands and sweled the vast tide of human be-
ings that thrOnged the streets, eager to view the
exhibition of the industry Of all nations
The day having cleared up as the time for open
ing the exhibition approached, vast concourse OF
people lined the principal avenues leading to the
Glass Palace, to behold those who were hocking
with eager haste to go inside. Pccadily and Oxford
street were crowded, not alone with those who
were vending their way to the great point Of
attraction, but with thousands who assembled in
order to crafty their curiosity at the moving and
animated appearance of the streets. ~.
AS earlyas nine o'clock an almost continuous
line OF omnibuses specially devoted to carry visitors
to the exhibition was to be seen in Piccadilly
crowded with passengers anxiaus to reach Hyde
Park. The scene within the Park was both ami
mating and imposing. From every entrance into
the Park living stream poured down each path to
the great Palace of Industry, and by ten o'clock
were assembled in front of each of the
numerous entrances.
All along Piccad,lly and the different streets in
the immediate neighborhood OF the Park, as well
as in the Park itself, numerous bodies of the me-
tropoltan police were stationed to preserve order
and to direct the vehicles and pedestrians proceed
ing to the Palace to the route which it was
necessary to follow. Captain Harvey, the assistant
commissioner, aided by several superntendents and
inspectors from the different districts, was also
stationed at various points to direct the men.
From the good conduct aud good temper of the
people, their services Were however, not required
although it was q matter of precaution proper on
their part to be at hand in case any thing might
arise which required their presence At each of
the different entrances sectional pals ,des We're
erected to separate the crowd so that there nigh,
be no undue or ineonvenient pressure at any given
point. w.. ss - -
The gates were opened at ten o'clock, and, moi
all the precautions which were adopt.
ed to prevent a rush, the throng that crowded at
all the money receiving boxes was very great, and
the money.takers had enough to do to receive the
shillings thai were showered upon them. The prin.
cipal pressure was at the eastern entrance, where
the greatest body of the visitors had collected that
entrance being the nearest and most convenient 10
the greatest number. -~'
