LoitriVir, May 8, 1862 THE INTERNATIONAL ENBIBITION Was opened two days ago—Thursday, May Ist. The weather wire,ll4latitiful. A ,shower, of seasonable rain itt •Vhe early hours haYmn had cooled the , atmosphere, laid the dust, and made the air balmy with the breath of the sweet South. All was gladness within and without the Great Building at Ken sington, save that ever and anon the Prince Consort's death came up upon the memory and heart, solemn in its warnings as the slave in the classic triumphs, who told the victor in his chariot that he was mortal; and saddening in reminding the throng that he whose genius and taste, as well . as whose true love for all mankind and i 9 I unity, had evoked both the first Exhibition of 1851 and•that of 1862—each " a thing of beauty," and the second more glorious than the first—was mouldering in the vaults of Windsor Castle, while the Stricken Queen, at the very hour when the flourish of trumpets announced that the now Exhi bition was opened, was arriving .at Balmo- . ral, after a journey of six huudred miles, pursued all the previous night and morn ing, as if she sought to get away as fast and as far as possible from a scene of heart- . breaking suggestiveness. Thus also was the popular sympathy evoked and deepened—specially among the thirty-six thousand who entered the build ing on Thursday, armed with three-guinea season tickets or the " open-sesame" afford ed to those who took part in the opening official proceedings as also to the represen tatives of the Press. For, in, the . noble Ode written for the occasion by . Tennyson, the poet Laureate, the singing of which by a choir of about two thousand persons ndcem flied by a powerful band of •instrumental performers, and in music of the loftiest order, by an English composer, Mr. Stern dale Bennet, the following passage struck on the ear of the multitude as a dirge and requiem : " 0 silent father of our kings to be, Mourned in this golden hours of jubilee, For this, for all, we weep our thanks to thee!" The words "we weep" were taken up as a refrain most touching, by the choir. The Ode proceeded thus : " The world-compelling plan Wee thine; And lo ! the long, laborious .o lies Of palace; lo I the giant aisles, . . Rich in model and design Harvest tool and husbandry, Loom and wheel and engine* , ; , Secrets of the sullen mine, Steel and gold, and corm and wine ; Fabrics rough, or fairy tine, Sunny tokens of the line; „ , f Polar marvels, and a feast Of yonder, out of West and Bast, , And shapes and hues of Art divine ! All of beauty, all of use; That our fair planet can produce ; Brought from under every star, Blown from over every main, And mixt, as life is mixed with pain, The works of peace with works , of war." Then the thought rises before the poet, that while the " goal " of universal broth erhood is not'yet reached, and the optimism of the philanthropist and Christian far from being yet realized, yet the present scene is 80, rich in its gladdening hope bringing influences that at least the dawn, the bud, the germ, the first fruits are ours —and therefore let us be joyful. And so the then in the choir ask, ' i " And is the dream as far away 7" f to which the women-singers make response, ' "Far, how far, no mail can say ;" and then, amid a crash of jubilant musio r and in exulting tones, all exclaim : "Let us have our dream to-day l" Finally the Ode closes ; the music at first soft, and appealing, but gathering volume and vigor (and repeating; too, twice or thrice, the: six lines beginAltig, " And let," Stc.,) until. at last the air is filled with claimant congratulation and rejoicing : " 0 ye, the wise who think, the.wise who reign, From gritering commerce loose ber latest chain, And let thei fair, white-winged.petke-maker fly To happy havens under all the sky, And mix the seations and the golden hours, Till each matt ffnd his own in all men's good, And all men work in t noble brotherhood, • Breaking their maitect,freets and armed towers, Attd , ruling by obeying Nature's'powers, And gathering all the fruits . of peace, and crowned with all her flowers." 4 The music to the last line of this Ode wiz: precisely similar to the'et+ale of' Ger:.' many, hymn-like in its cadences, such as ere ndw I. have listened to in the early Summer morning, when mingling with the throng who had Come from all countries to drink the beali l dg waters of Enis, Y in the Duchy of Nassau. But the poet fell - be low the height of- his noble theme, in indi eating Free Trade in commerce as tlikk pre cursor of the day when " each man" should " find his own in all men's' good, and all men 'work' inynobla brotherhotrt": It is only Christianity that ean bring:the:World to that blessell consummation. Pity tis that, the " Odt',' phould have not done.tbe haulage of song to the Cross and the Con= Oertir 'who once ;bled' on ft to disenthral Clinkinti, and who! llyund by shall reign' over hearts, " the invisible and. universal • Lord." The building at Kens i ing,;ton corers twen ty-five acres, Of ground, and woad have been ninehlitler as well al moril magnifi cent; had the original . designs , of Captain Fowke, the architect, beeris,sorried out: His ideal comprised an exonditure of £590,000, which would have included a great hall, 600 feet long, 250 . feet wide, add 200 feet high: There will -fig' no dif ficulty,. if funds are furnished,- 61€ adding this hall at any. time. The prindipal ar chitectural features are the two rslomes which are larger than the domes' of St. Peters at Rome and St. Pauls in ' 1.4;i4d0n.

Some ladies in their ,carriages .were at the ,building by eight o'clock in the morning ;. but. they did not find admission till long after. I reached the 'place soon after noon,•and Made •tny wny through Irish flower girls, through shoebiacks, oyster and orange sellers, and all kinag of importunities to " buy. a pro gramme" to the' South-bast entrance, im mediately under one of the great domes. Outside the building were the flags of all nations, with the Union. Jack in the cen tre. assing through , one of those tun nestiles which are furnished so numerous yls to be capable of admitting 100,00 P persons in an hour and a half, I passed rapidly up a long and wide corridor. Then turning to the right, I caught a glimpsetof the vast spaoeset apart for the choir at'the Eastern - eitreinity of the' building. The number! :of musicians, singers, male . and female .were immense .. The ladies • who lent their sweet treblerto the singing, were so beautifully dressed, and so appropriately too, to the season of the' year' that, looking at them, as contrasted with , their nile,snr roundings, you were,ready to compare.theM 'to a beautiful' parterre of carnations, with a sombre setting and borders.
