Tan GREAT ExnuirrloN.—At ten o'clock this morning the exhibitors must complete their arrangements and leave the building. £2,000 a ere taken for season tickets yesterday, and the demand increases. A London watchmaker has paid 1,000 guineas tot' occupying the last page in the official catalogues with his advertisements. The Daily Telegraph again censures the Royal Commissioners for allowing the conductor Costa to refuse to lead the English composers' music. An extraordinary change has taken place m the interior of the building it was cleared to-day of all eihibitors and workmen and swept. Many of the courts are now it a perfect state for exhibition. The efforts made to effect a clearance have beeh extraordinary. Rehearsal took place this afternoon with perfect success. The Duke of Cambridge was present.

The reports of the British Embassy on French commerce and finance are published. The accounts concerning the state of employment in the manufacturing districts reach in these documents to the sth February, and indicate that the course of affairs in America was felt more seriously in Lyons than in Manchester. At that date one half of the operatives at Lyons were out of work, one smarter were working only half time, and only the remaining quarter full time. 100,000 workmen were then said to be dependent in Lyons on public and private charity.

The article praises the disinterestedness of the manufacturers and the resignation and endurance of the workpeople. The question is, how many more days shall our innocent communities starve? We were promised that in 90 days at furthest the weary struggle would be over, and the 90 are long past, but peace and relief are not come. What we would not do for profit we shall not do for hunger, but the North should pause before it forces to such a proof communities like those of France and Belgium which have not an Englishman's self-reverence and self-restraint.  The Bev. J. Cong, an American missionary, has been murdered in the north of Syria by a oouple of miscreants who followed his party and fired at him.
