CLOSING OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The International Exhibition was brought to a close on Saturday at four o'clock. All the organs pealed forth the national anthem. The members of the Sacred Harmonic Society had volunteered the vocal part, and the visitors joined in the chorus. When the enormous mass of people assembled in the western dome and adjoining parts, the sight was truly grand. "God save the Queen" was tolerably well sung and encored, and at the conclusion of it the cheering seemed to shake the floor of the building. When the people stood up and uncovered in the galleries and on the floor the effect was very imposing. The French national anthem, having been called for, was given, and afterwards "Rule Britannia." Both were received with great applause. After some cheering for names called out, the bells tolled the knell of the International Exhibition of 1862, and the people gradually departed. —Miss Sharpe gave a tea party on Saturday evening in the western annexe of the International Exhibition buildings to the female attendants at the refreshment counters, about 500 of whom were present.
