FROM EIIROPE. • • •-. Formal Op - eSitni Of the Great Exhibi tion by the Queen The royal steamer Cambria arrived at Dos ; ton onThursday Morning; with Liverpool dates ,to the. 8d inst., three, days later than wore re . oeiyed by the Arctic. The news by this arri val is interesting ; and in - a oommercial point, of view- important.

The emigration from En gland and Ireland to this country continued without any abateMent. France the gov ernment is getting along smoothly. • On Thursday, the Ha May, the great Exhi ' bition of the Industry of all Nations in the .Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, was opened, with much ceremony, -by the Queen in State; Thir ty thousand preens were present, and not withstanding the immense Multitude, the core __Monies _went _oftwithouteccident_on_mishdp.=. Up. to the previous evening the Crystal Palace was a scene of busy life, but the immense mass of contributions was finally arranged, the rub bish wholy cleared away, and the building pre sented a most magnificent appearance. On Thursday morning the doors were open ed at ak s oaily hour -a strong police -force be ing on the ground-to prevent disorder or con fusion. The multitude of exhibitors and ticket holders began to pour in, and quietly and with out confusion, took the places assigned to • them. By half-past eleven o'clock, the multi - tudo was'admitted, and then the doors were closed to visitors until after the visit of the Queen. , The Royal Commissioners assembled then in frOnt of the platform in the transept, ,which had been erected for the Queen. At twelve o'- clock, a flourish of trumpets announced the ap proach of Her Majesty, who entered by the north entrance, attended by the Royal family, -- the - Prince-of - Prussia - an'd - rother -- guests from foreign courts. Ae she entered, an immense choir occupying the north gallery of the tran sept, sang God Savo the Queen, in which ma ny of the spectators joined. Sir. .George Smart superintended this part of the musical services. . , The formal ceremonies and delivery of speech es took place as announced, and a prayer was then pronounced.by the Archbishop of-Cantor bury. The Hallelujah chorus - of Handel's Messiah was then performed, under tho direc tion of Sir Henry Bishop. The Royal procession then moved round the building, Mr. Paxton, the architect, taking the lead. .As the Queen passed, the multitude rose and.received her with cheers. The eight great organs in thebuilding successively streak up with fine • music as her. Majesty passed them. After returning to the platform the Queen announced the Exhibition opened,which was comn ifinicated to the public by a flourish of trumpets and a national salute from guns at slich a distance as not to endanger the glass "louse. The Queen and suite then departed, and the doors were again opened. Out side of the Crystal Palace the crowd was immense, and the lines of carriages un precedented. They were kept in good order by the police. . — Dosorlptten-of-the National Contribu =I We subjoin also the following extracts from the London papers,-prinoipally the European Times, as to the display made by the different nations: - Perhaps your readers at a distance will pro . ceed with mein a rapid tour throughout the various parts of the Exhibition. The first ob jects which strike the visitor upon entrance, either at the north or 'south" end of the -trann sept, are two magnifibeAt gates stretching a cross, which harpig passed,-hp finds himself in the centre of the building, amidst statuary, fountains, palm trees, and rarq tropical shrubs, the equestrian statues of the Queen and Prince Albert forming the most prominent features, amidst an infinite multitude of objects, each of which is displayed to the best-advantage. A long the nave, both towards the east and west, there is a succession of gigantic statuary, in marble, iron, bronze and zinc, the latter of a very remarkable character. Almost the first object which arrests your attention' is the Koh-i-noor diamond, secured in a -strong cage of iron, richly gilded; and, by a contrivance, this precious jewel, which is placed on a small pedestal, sinks at night down into the strong iron chest upon which the cage rests, so that it 'is safe and secure - nightand , day. :— Crowds - flooked — around - this jewel to admire its size and brilliancy. Along the whole length of the building, in the cen-. tro of the nave, is placed a succession of most striking objects, relieved by the statuary.— There are models of bridges and towns, all of -elaborate-execution"'-.and.amongst-them-the model of Liverpool holds the foremost - rank.- There are, besides, enormous telescopes, ex quisite models of machinery, small chapels to exhibit specimens of stained glass.,.._ tho, Aoie an - d - GilatettlOUnraine, tho American statues of the Wounded Indian and the Greek Slave, the statue of Shakspeare, and the crystal fountain in the•centre of the transept, presen ting a very graceful and striking appearance. Perhaps the whole world has never furnished such a remarkable series of attractive objects as are contained in the nave alone. I was prepared to find that the-articles from the United States would fall short of the other parts of the exhibition, from the statements put forth that they, had demanded more room than they could adequately 'fill. Through the exertions of -Mr. Riddle, the vacant space has been filled up, and although this division is not so crowded as the British side, it contains a national collection highly interesting. Their cereal and raw materials aro very striking.— The carriages were not the least honorable part of their collection. A series of maps prepared for certain lectures at the missions. , ry:meetings wore admirable,_aulgreatly_sur passed those of a similar character in our na tional and public schools. The exhibition of daguerrotypes is excellent. Leaving the division devoted to the -United Stites, you enter the great department of the Zollverlien, on the north and south sides. The collection Of machinery and manufaotttres of the most varied description, presents a thou sand objects of Aim highest interest. Russia occupies a small department on the south, and this is scarcely complete; but, to compensate for this, Austria, also on the north and south Bides, -exhibits a variety 'of predicts which place her in a y.exi honorable position in the exhibition. All the Austrian exhibitors aro dressed in a simple Austrian green uniform, with coats fas tened at the breast with a tong clasp, inscri bed "Austria," so that the general effect is . admirabl& Hurrying 'through Holland and Belgium, you enter the extensive region of Fiance, which when complete, will be very beautiful,' and worthy of -the lane and skill of that groat country. Switzerland and Brazil, with Italy and Spain_On the North, 'succeed, and aro followed by Greece, Persia, Egypt, and Turkey. The unfortunate delay in the ar rival of the Turkish steamer, with their ob jeote,' render their division incomplete; but the .paoo (Omitting upon the transept having been apropriatid to the Foreign Ambassadors, and ladies of wank who had the entree, the cienoy, was 'admirably concealed. Crossing the,transept, you enter the British East In dies; which presents a very.beautiful scene.— On the south, yin then arrive at a square, de voted to Canada, the West Indies, and the Austrian colonies. 'The articles from these in- - tereeting spots in the British empire aro all admirably illustrative . 'of their rich produc tions. The minerals, the raw materials, afford abundant scope for study both to the merchant and the philosopher. A beautiful little square of modteval treas ure next attracts vast crowds, who pass on to the soulpturo-room, You are now on both aides of the nave, fairly in the British domes.: do latitudes. 'Whilst agricultural implements occupy the whole remaining length of the ex treme south, Paper and printing,' and machi nery in motion, fill up the extreme north ; the front of the-Muth side being' devoted .to Bir mingham goods, furniture, Sheffield goods, woolen and redied fabries, "flax from Ireland, and printed fabrice ofr ,Manchester, -London and, lssgow. The front of the north corral,- ponling aide presents a succession • of depart:: Monts; with .carriages, memo ,of them of the moat e*quimito contractions,, naineral .manu factures and marine engines,.flanked On the tront with' paper geode, furaitureaurd loath er and cotton.

Line) , state thatihero ts but on; gallery;.whiali runs the whole cir cuit of the building, and spacious quadrangu lar courts aro out out of the gallery, down in, to which the spectator may look, and the ob jects are so arranged as to produce the most picturesque offset imaginable. I suffered great fatigue in going through the whole exhibition on Monday last; indeed, such a task is al, most beyond the power of any min to accom plish in ono day, and to observe theinconceiv able variety of objects which meet you at ev, cry turn. Ihion the whole, the exhibition is successful, to the highest point of any conception which may have been fcirmed of it. Every thing ia well chosen, so perfect in its kind, that wheth er it is the most refined and fastidious lady in, •-the land, or the rudest; yet most intelligent, naechanici; the attractions aro so nuiherous, so various, so surprising, and so useful„ that a visitor may spend weeks within the building, and educate himself in the critical examination of all - the diversified objectsbrought thus at one view before his eyes from all parts of the! world. It is somputed that•£6o,ooo were received by the sale of season tickets, which, added to the sums subscribed, will make about $lBO,- 000. The cost of the execution will be, it is said, about £200,000, at 'least. There is scarcely a doubt but that sufficient funds will be raised to make it entirely self-supporting A telegraphic dhspatch to Liverpool, on the second day of the exhibition, remarks; The attendance to-day, although not so great as yesterday, was very large, including a groat number of foreign and provincial visitors. At Hyde Park Corner, and all the roe& lead ing to the building, a vast concourse of ,people assembled. The weather was cold, but fine, and the scene most animating. Several pack ages arrived from France and ether .countries this morning. During the day, at least . 80,- 000 visitors went-to-the c xhibitioh, and -up wards of 100,000 persons visited the Park.

ERSKINE MASON The intelligence of the.death of this eminent divine, which took place at his residence in Now York, on Wednesday last, was received with • feelings of deep sorrow by his many friends in this community. .Dr. Mason was a gradu ate of DickinsonlCollego, of which his father was for a number of years President. _At the_; time of his death-he-was pastor of the Bleaker streeePresbyterian Church, in New York.— Several months since ho lyas attacked with paralysis, whin totally disabled "liim — so as to prevent his attention - to pastoral duties, and which after prolonged and extreme sulfuring resulted in his death. We learn from the New York ,papers that Dr. MASON was buried on Friday, and an ap propriate address delivered by the Rev. Dr. ADAMS. He stated that Dr. MASON was con vetted during a powerful revival of religion under the preaching of his father, while Pres ident of Dickinson College, at Carlisle. In 1827, he was ordained pastor of the Pecsbyte, rian Church in Schenectady, and in 1830 hie pastorcal relations wore transferred to Bleeck 'er Street Church, New York. As a preacher,. his leading characteristics were precision, or iginality, and force; and his pulpit prepara- dons, of which at least one thousand remain, would require no editorial supervision to fit them for publication. THE PRESIDENT'S TOUR. President Pu.nmens and Messrs. Wanarrn, CRITTENDEN, GIIAIIAM and HALL, members of his Cabinet, -left Washington on Monday to participate in the Openingof the New York and Erie Railroad, and were at every point along the route received with that •Consideration,duo to their exalted stations, and patriotic servi ces to the. country. They reached Philadel phia on Monday evening, and were welcomed by an immense concourse of - .citizens. They remained overnight in Philadelphia and pro ceeded,.to New York by the Amboy line on 'Tuesda'y. At the latter city their reception was most othusiastio. Cannon thundered, flags waved, thousands shouted, and the mili tary, to the number Of. twelye . regiments, para ded, to do tjui'm honor. On 'Wednesday they started on their tour over the great Erie Rail road, and were received at all the way stations along the line, with the most flattering, atten tion. They stopped at Elmira over night and on Thlirsday reached Dunkirk, on Lake Erie, the termination of the road, whore 'the open ing was concluded by a grand celebration. • The length of the great Nowyorlogl,Erie Railway is 465 miles, nearly the whole of which has beonreonstructed since.lB4s. The company was organizednoarly nineteen years ago, but for a long time misfortune and ex.- t . ravagance attended the enterprise andretard ad its completion. Five years ago a new di recitory came in, and they have matured an achievement, which for magnitude and own. peroialimportance has no parallel in any sim ilar enterprise yot accomplished on this conti nent. The whole cost of. the road is nearly $20,006,000. • • , 'UV-The Whig mombera of the bar of Frank lin county, have honied' a card. claiming : for 'Franklin county the nomination 'of the Presi dent Judge of that district, and rectemeending - Josiv‘ix Ciiminans, .Ecq., of Chainberaburg,'• for.the post.

Johnston. Longstreth was defeated in an even handed contest. Now mark the sequel.. ' A paretif their story was proven td be true -he was the most popular tandidate_they had ever placed before the people: His was the largest vote ever polled for a candidate for Governor of that party in the State.

Still,he -was defeated; and now they turn ,on Long streth and say that it was his unpopularity that produced the result! - GOV. - JOHNS TOM- Our Whig exchanges from" all sections of the State are, in rapid succession, running up the name of WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON as the Whig candidate for Governor at the next 'election.— The indications are, says the Lancaster Union, that ho will, be nominated by acclamation, and re-ciected too. Pennsylvania has never bad ix more popular Chief Magistrate. Ills admin istration has been so manifestly fraught with publio•goo4; that now as it approaches its close, the people are loud in calling for his re-eleo tion.i We do not believe there is a man in the . State who can beat him at the polls, provided the Whigs do their duty. A full vote is gen viotory,_ancl_ if. our political friends throughout the State - will only go to work early, maxim) thoroughly, and enlist for the whole campaign,, no fears need be ap yreheiided as to the result. That the Whigs will do :all this and iaore, we have no doubt.— The Contest will soon be at band. Neiti month the State• Conventions of both parties will as semble, and as soon as the nominations are made the - oainpaign will have fairly opened.
