LONDON, Oct. IA, 1851.
This is the last day given to the exhibitors,
who have had the liberty of introducing on their
ticket two friends. and we number to-day over
sixty thousand. The Queen, Prince Albert, and
the Duchess of Richmond, visited the Crystal
Palace at an early hour this morning, for the
last time. The review taken by these distin-
guished personages, who, from the first day of
its opening up to the present hour, have mani
tested the greatt tinterest in the success of the
great feature ofi3.e present century, to say the
least of it, was gloomy in the extreme. BY their
patronage, despite of opposition from every
quarter, have the industry, skill, and ingenuity
of the four quarters of the world been gathered
together for the first time. Over seven mil.
lions of people, Of all nations, tongues, and
creeds, have been living witnesses of its great
ness and its glory.
Six months have passed since it was opened,
with royal pomp and magnfcence, and to-
morrow we meet as exhibitors with the royal
commissioners, to hear the address OF Prince
Albert, and take our final adieu
We all feel as though, in our day, the world
will not present scene such as we have enjoyed
for the last six months.
The Queen commenced her visit of leave
this morning, by examining the English depart.
ment and, following the main avenue up to the
east, where she was met by E. Riddle, esq, the
commissioner from the United States. After ex-
aiming the " Collins" set of plate, and Hughes's
cast of q Oliver Twist" she took her departure.
She expressed herself in terms of high praise of
the success the Americans had met with in the
great battle of the past season, and hoped soon
that, as a nation, we should have an exhibition
of our own, commensurate with our skill, ability,
and ingenuity, in which the old world might
meet the new on new field Of greatness.
The conduct of Mr.. Riddle, from the frat, has
elected from the Americans every degree of
praise; and considering the various duties APP
pertaining to his official position, il is surprising
that so much should have been accomplished by
him, and there should be so little to censure or
condem. Yours, truly, K. III. T.

remarks on this project
There seems nothing really imPracticable In
such an undertaking. We have been assured
that the same two gentlemen who first .suggest
ed and commenced this enterprise, have expressed
to some Of our eminent engineers and capital
lists their conviction Of the feasibility of estab-
fishing a single line Of communication between
this country and America for less sum than
was paid for making single mile oftbe expen-
sive portion of the Great Western Railway. IL
was proposed in this instance 10 have only n
single wire covered with gutta percha, similar
to that used last year to prove the practcability
Of passing an electric current across the channel
from England TO France-to which il was pro-
posed TO add an additional protection Of hempen
plat--the hemp having been passed through a
chemical solution, to render Il indestructible In
salt water Such n line, il was said, Of gutta
percha and prepared hemp, would, although on
ly about three quarters Of m inch in diameter,
be Of nearly double the strength Of the expert
mental line laid down between England and
France, in a strong sea and running tide. The
proposition was, first 10 extend IL 10 Ireland
thence 10 the southwest coast, the nearest point
for the American continent, and where the bold
rocky coast offers depths that secures its safety
from anchors-and thence to the nearest point
on the American coast, considerably under 1000
miles Choosing the months Of summer, and
an experienced American and English captain
accustomed to the track. such line, IL was aver.
red, might with very simple machinery, be paid
out night and day with perfect safety, at the or
binary speed OF the steamer. The vast import.
ance Of such an object is not to be weighed
against n sum Of fl00O0o, which, we are as
sured, would more than accomplish il, II sin
gle wire only were employed. The successful
completion Of one line would, of course, be
speedily followed by that Of others. This once
accomplished, the extension Of the line across
the American continent 10 the Pacific would fol.
low certainly, and we should have the astound.
ing fact OF a communication from the shores Of
the Pacific, crossing America and the Atlantic,
and touching our shores in an instant Of time.

ANOTHER RESCUE OF FUGIrWE.--At Otta-
wa, on Sunday week, two negroes, evidently
strangers, came into the city in a buggy, driving
white horse. They inquired the way to some
known place, and were directed across the river.
They had, however, not got far from town, be-
fore they were pursued and oyertaken by Mr..
Constable Skinner, and several others, who, al
leging that they were fugitive slaves, were about
to arrest them, when one Of them showed his
free papers, and was allowed to 60 his way, but
the other was taken by force, and brought back
to town, where he was placed on canal boat
and started towards La Sale, with view of
being there placed on a steamer and conveyed
to his master at ST. Louis. AT Lock No. IL,
however, the negro was taken from the officers,
who were somewhat roughly handled by the
people, and the boat went on without him. In
relation to the matter the Free Trader says:
"We wish to call attention to one fact, and
that s that in all their steps in this transaction,
neither Mr. Skinner nor any of his abettors had
the first scrap of warrant or process of law of
any kind whatever. 1t was plain piece of kid
mapping. and as such the persons engaged in it
are liable to be indicted aud punished. Weshall
be the last to oppose proper officer in the right
full execution of the Fugitive slave law, but we
are opposed to arresting any persons, whether
black or white. bond or free, without complying
strckly with the letter of its provisions. And
we believe this to be the general sentiment of
this community"

MINNEsoTA.-The election in this new terri
tory, which bids fair to be severely contested
upon grounds which are entirely misunderstood,
except by the initiated, has resulted in the de.
feat of the regular Democratic ticket, and the
triumph of what was styled the peoples ticket
The st. Paul Pioneer rejoces over the result as
earne stly as If presidential election was deter
mined by the result, and growing over the vote
in its own precinct with @Harra for the Chief
ofthe Apostles" and announcing its triumph in
the following extravagant strain
"On Tuesday, our annual election swept over
the territory, like tornado from the pine forests
of the North, and swept to the ground all the
air castles and towering hopes of the federal Rice
party, leaving no hook unlevelled, for them to
hang hope upon. A defeat so signal, an ever
throw SO complete, such an absolute humiliation
of party he rse, foot and dragons, has not been
since the earth opened its mouth and took in
Kora and his troops for breakfast. In ST. Paul
precinct, where the same Rice fashion beat US
year ago, two votes, by unparalleled bribery ard
secret pipe-laying, they have this year been sig
lally ueIeabeO, having eiecLeu only single JUS
tice of the peace, who was chosen for his quail.
fications, not for his politics. We have carried
the legislature throughout the territory, triumph
antly if not exclusively. The yeomanry, the
people themselves, have thrashed, famed out, and
cleared out the Rice party, most beautifully"
The Pioneer gives history of the days work
in good Western fashion. OF their opponents
they said
.'Fhey were in reality, no more the Demo-
cratic party than horde of Musselmen, seizing
the cross for banner, would be the Holy Catho-
lie Church. Give the devil his due; and We
must admit that they were "as busy as the devil
in gale of wind" They got in their votes
early. That gave them courage to work in the
afternoon. Then they had braggers, who could
outbrag the world and who told lies, compared
with which Gulliver's Travels is veracious his
tory.
In the afternoon, our friends began to pour
in load after load the Rice fire slackened-
their ball was spent We keep up the fire. The
old denizens of the precinct who seldom vote,
turn out to the rescue. Captain Dodds under
jaw falls-Rtker looks dismayed and is 1the
particular friend Of men of both parties" The
| old blue coat is again the ensign ofdefsat; and
the mouth of its wearer, looks like horse shoe
curved upward"
These are some of the humors of a Minnesots
election. The new territory opens bravely fol-
politicians.
