In that throng were gathered to gether some of the greatest names in the arts, sciences, and manufactures of the country. The various colonies and dependencies which carry England's empire as a girdle round the earth were represented; and there, too, were the delegates of all the great hatless of the earth. In the persons of the commissioners of 1851 the great exemplar of these peaceful contents was commemorated, and additional weight and solemnity were added to the Occasion by the presence of the chid leaders of the gte.te. When his Royal Highness and the other commi.lon- ere had taken their seats, Earl Granville, who, and hie colleagues, a ere propped immediately in trout of the dais, advanced, and, in the name of the commissioners, present ed the tie:dress to MT Alajestys offering eandnianeea en the irreparable loos which her Majesty and the nation had snetaiLed. Lord Granville then handed to the Duke of Cambridge the address. It was at this point that the Only contretemps—ard it was but a slight one—occurred.

The Duke of Cambridge, however, waited pa- Cooly until the music bad ceased, and when the last notes di, d away, read his reply. The procession then begun its course Wong tho north side of the flare towards the eastern dome, eliciting, as if swept along, many and many - a burst of enthusiastic cheer hog, as personages, either distinguished by their popularity or their high rank, were recognized. When this gorgeous cortege had at length reached the eastern dome, an t i the had Taken hie seat on the chair or sum!, with the Foreign Princes and the Queen's Commissioners on either side, the scene, as described in the London Te legraph. was almost indescribably magnificent.

Fortunately for Dr. Sterndale Betmett, says the Telegraph, the Exhibition building is better adapted for choral than for instrumental diaplay, and his Mlikilk& produced much more effect than either of We fellow-ta borer& works. Tennyson's noble hymn, which has al ready appeared in print, was set to a -ehorah:), impressive in its massive PUti the broad lllalOilr of Which was 5111 sustained throughout by trumnels.
