VETERINARY MEDICINE. y= RISE AND PROGRESS. Importance of the Science to the Agricultural Wealth and Prosperity of the World. Mew York the Banner City of America in This Science—What Has Been and Is Done and Taught in the New York College of Veterinary Surgeons. ‘The practice of medicine is as old as humanity, Dut its concretion into a science ts of comparatively recent origin. The facts upon which medical prac- ce rests have been obtained by the study mainly of comparative anatomy and by experiments made upon the bodies of domestic animals, living and dead; and yet, strange to say, until within a few years the care and treatment of those animals inthis country have been entrusted to grooms, jockeys and yuacks generally, Physicians did not deem the wwudy of medicine for human diseases and its de- monstration upon the bodies of horses, cows, sheep and dogs beneath tneir notice, but to relieve the cor- responding diseases in those useful animals was Jooked upon as a degradation and ashame. It was Jeft to an eminent physician of our elty—Dr. John Busteed, assisted by Dr. C. C. Grice, V.S., agraduate of the Royal College of Veterinary . Surgeons of Eng- Jand—to found In this city the FIRST VETERINARY. COLLEGE IN AMERICA, ‘They were led to do this by the very great slaugh- terwhich occurred annaally among horses in this city from malpractice. In one day Drs, Bus-eed, Frank Johnson and the late Thomas Addis Emmet Jost each @ vaiuable horse, and then it was that Dr. Busteed determined to establish a veterinary coliege here. There had been some feeble attempts pre- viously made to istruct. persons in the veterinary science, but it was hard work to overcome the pre- judice which existed against horse doctors, and the thing never succeeded. Dr. Bracey Clark first tried it, and after him Dr. Clements. Dr. Budd, who had been an assistant with Dr. Clark and had acquired a fair practical knowledge of the dis- eases and treatment of horses, though not himself a graduate of any medical college, also sought to extend the knowledge of veterinary medi- ele, He wrote an Interesting book on the foot of the horse. Later, Dr. William Carver—familiarly known as ‘‘Billy”? Carver—wrote @ book on the alseases of horses, and tried to organize a school. But the obstacles were too great. to be readily over- come, and he yielded and allowed the enterprise to aie. Meantime the Agricultural Society of Massa- ehmsetts had employed a veterinary surgeon im- ported from England, as all such men had been imported up to that time. About the same time a similar movement was taking shape in Philadelphia. ‘The nearest approach to a permanent institution was made here m New York, by the gentlemen avove named, who organized a board of directors, and in 1857 OBTAINED A CHARTER FROM THE LEGISLATURE. The manipulators of that document in Albany, to Denelit their fmends, had, however, changed the names of the incorporators and substituted their own men, and when & quorem was needed for the transaction of business they could not be found, The few who resided in or near the city, finding thatthe honor was an empty one and that they ‘Would be expected to pay out money rather than re- ceive any, also backed out, and the result was again a dead fatiure. The charter allows Incorporators to hold real and personal estate to the amount of $100,000, and grants to the trustees for the time veig power to confer the degree of veterinary sur- geon and to furnish diplomas duly authenticated by the president and secretary of the college. In 1862 an amendment to this charter was obtained by whicn several corporators resident in this city .and vicinity were added, and a working quorum was made possible to be had. A board of examiners and censors was also autho- rized to be elected by the college faculty from the faculties respectively ofthe medical colleges of the ciy of New York or other medical or veterinary medical practitioners. The wustees were also em- powered to deciare the pluce of any trustee vacant who should negiect or reiuse to attend six regular meetings, and to {ili the Vacant place, and. five trus- tees were constituted a quorum for the transaction of business. The college, though chartered tn 1:57, Gia not go into active operation until 1864, the trus- tees preierring to wait until a sufficient sum of money had been obtained to enable them to pur- chase a building and ground, thereby avoiding the danger of frequent change of location. Until this Insiitution was founded there was NO SCHOOL IN THE UNITED STATES devoted to this most important branch o: ectence. The college is now permanently established at No, 205 Lexington avenue. The site of the college was {| selected as being both healthful and convenient, an ample range of Stables, an infirmary, a museum. a lecture theatre aud dissecung room were prepared for the educauion of students in veterinary science and comparative anatomy, and for the medical treatment of domesticated animals, professors were appointed requisite to carry into elect the object of NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 14, 1871.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. nts, and their ‘alrmnt command the respect of scientific men and the confidence of the people and State. Since 1762 when the first Veteri- College was ished at Lyons, in France, every European government has founded one or more, many of these institutions haviug at present average classes of trom 200 to 500 students. How at variance these facts are with food at rayrd papesee with which this branch of cine is joked eon in the United States. This country, foremost in many of the branches of science and art, is in veterinary medicine a century behind Europe. At present the New York College of Veteri- pary Surgeons 18 the only one tu the country. The time will come When there will be veterinary col- Jeges in every section of our land; the sooner the better Jor the interests of the country. What we are, a3 anation, has sprung from our unpara.leied agricultural resources, wnose development 1s due to our live stock, What we are to be will depend upon the preservation and multiplication of these devel- oping agencies. While we bask in tne SUNSHINE OF UNEXAMPLED PROSPERITY, let us not forget the creatures without whose physi- cal laber we Would never have been able to develop our territory, and obtain from the sotl-its products, Indeed withont the labor of the domestic animals the world would still be uncivilized, and ail coun- tries be in a low state of barbarism, n 1860 the domestic animals in the United States were :—9,000,000 horses and mules, increase 100 per cent, tu a decade; 29,000,000 neat cattle, increase 60 per cent, in a decade; 2 000 sieep, increase 100 per cent, in @ decade; 87,000,000 swine, increase 75 per cent. in a decade. Their aggregate value was $1,000,000,000, having exactly doudied m the ten years from 1850, One-tilth of the whole value was owned tn New York State alone, Their approxima. lave annual revenue in 1860 was :—Labor, exciusive of cost of feeding, &c., calewlaung 12,000,000 working horses, males and yokes of oxen, and the labor of each, at titty cents a day for 300 working days only, would, yicla $1,800,000,000 per annum. Animals slaughtered for food, worth $250,000,000; butter, 460,000,000 Ibs,, - worth $90,000,000; ' cheese, 100,000,0004bs., worth $10,000,000; wool, 40,000,000 Iba, worth $24,000,000, The above gives a total revenue of over $2,000,000,000, ulmost as mucn as our existing Detional debt. Add to tnjs the vatue of the animals and we have in 1860 the enormous wealth of over $3,000,600,000, As an illustration of the increase from 1850 to 1860, the yield of wool in the Pacitic States is most st:iKing; in 1850 1t was but 77,330 Ibs., while In 1860 it Was nearly 4,000,000 Ibs, This is one of many ey that shows the increasing importance of our Ive SLOCK. In addition to this aggregate wealth we must bear in mind that our breeds of animals are con- stantly being improved. To-day WE HAVE OUR DEXTER AND KENTUCKY, our Hambletonians, our Alderneys, Devonshires and Durhams, our Southdowns and Merinos, our many breeds of fowls, Aside from the claims which the domestic ani- mals have upon our gratitude, and thelr importance in our political economy, they enlist the noblest and purest feelings of man’s jure; pity for suffering and humanity to minister to 18 alievianon, ‘to apply the words put into the mouth of Shylock by Shaxspeare, “Have they not eyes’ Have they not organs, dimensions, senses, aifections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with tne same wea- pons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the sane Meas, Cooled and warmed by the same win- ter and summer as human beings? If you prick them do they not bieedy Ji you poison them do they not die?” ANIMALS ARE, LIKE OURSELVES, susceptible to physical Influences; have as keen sen- sibility to pain: are subject to the same diseases, which are amenabie to the same treatment; they are also capable of as strong attacnhments—‘faithf.1 as a dog” 13 a World-wide Maxim. Our duties to them become the greater when we,rememver that thelr domestication by us, to supply our physiological ne- cessities and minister to our comlort, entails upon them privations and diseases from which in the wild slate they are exempt, Conxected with the New York College of Veteri- nary Surgeons is @ museum which contains nearly 3,000 specimens of healthy and diseased ussaes, of- re: ihe histologist and comparative anatomist a field for investigation not excelled by any medicat college in the United States. This museum is open daily (Sundays excepted) to the public and the medi- cal ‘profession, The privileges of tne college are open to subscribers and others upon the following conditions:—Lhe sum of $250 paid in advance con- stitutes a life membership, with tne privilege to at- tend the lectures, visit the liorary, museum and hos- piial, and to send their own horses to the coliege tor |- inspection, advice and medical treatment, free of charge (expenses of keep excepted), and have a free scholarship, Also to have the opinion of the professors as to the meaical treatment of animals they may desire to retain In their own possession, without payment of fee, and to be supplied with medicines (rom the col- lege at very low charges, but the proteesors are not expected to visit palients out of we infirmary. Anuaual swyscribers on the payment of ten dollars a year (in advance) shail have the same priviley ic Taembers, except the iree scholarship, during the continuance of such anuual subscription. The charges for keeping will be regulated according to te market value of food, ‘the expenses on every animal must be paid on its beimg removed from the coliege. A professor is in attendance dally, except Sundays; the college 13 open from cight A. M. to six P. M. during toe summer, and in the winter trom nine A, M. uatil dac! during which time patients may be adintited or discharged, but urgent cases are admitted at all times, ‘The total cost of a course to students in this col- lege for mutriculation, lectures, dissecting room privileges, &c., 1s but $135. A pupil, prior to hts exami- lauon, must have faliy dissected as many subjects as the professor in each department shall think necessary lor the attainment of A VRAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF ANATOMY, and must also have given due attention to the de- monstrations and cilnical lectures, ‘The lectures will comsaence in October and terminate tue latter end of February, but the clinical imstruction may be at- tended throughout the year. Tue relations between human and veterinary medicine are fog much more close and inti- mate inan can determined in the existing state of our Knowledge. We cannot teil what inttence, ii any, the diseases of the human race exert upon the inferlor animals, or those of the latter upon the former. All that is positively ascertained is that their maladies, both benign and malignant, conge- mital aud acquired, have much in common with each other, Some of the best and most instructive les- sons in pathological anatomy that I have ever jearned were derived from the sturly of the diseases of ue mierior animals, espectaliy those of the horse, the fonnde) For the man ot education there is no tield that offers more iuducemenis tran that of vet- ermary science, The time Js happily past—the trus- trees say ta their last report—when intelligent men can take a disparaging view of a profes- sion which requires an a acy and breath ol Knowledge the of Ms) mem- vers, whieh entities — tiem to high wank among sclentiic men, if they are individually worthy. fhe educated verertnarian not only ministers to the necessities of diseased or 1 animals—eNerecisivg in this & skill and close perception of symptoms and tadications of disease ‘Whirelt (ew other physicians trained to—but he occupies a posiuon a) a guardian of the public health, which is in no degree secondary to that of those pliysiciaus who devow themselves to Investi- ating and warding oi rena Ang whole ce « eye al o wr those not dn our mark animals in fevered, or | healthy condition, and thus miuisters mo to the putt ith shan if a3 pos any medical practitioner to do.

It is a spe- cially of genera: medicine, haviug for its province the applicaticn of the healing art to the care of and tie ayuries and diseases Lacident to, aniunals an general, but more particuiarly the domestic animals. lt requires for its science study anc ractice the same order of intellect and talents as human medicine, is curriculum is the same—viz., anaiomy, puystology, chemistry, pathology and therapeutics, Ticir range is even greaver in veteri- nary than human medicine, for while the former speciaity anciudes many species, tie latter 18 Mmited to but owe. From the unity of paimal forms their comparative study becomes essenual to a compreheusive knowledge of any one, aud thue dovs vetcrivary become the necessary complement of fuman medicine and vice versa. Comparative anatomy reveais that the tissues of animals, as cow- pared with these of nin, present only suck dider- ences of arrangement in, and ultimate structure of, the forms whiel they assume, as the diversified physical surroundings or habits of life of individual @pecies require. Comparative physiology teaches as that the general functions of man and animals are the same, belng modiiled only oy the special ‘Varietics of organization presenied by dierent Aumais, Aulinal chemistry is the same for aul os. Vetermuary pathology ts but the transfer of e general principles whick govern disease. ‘The scientific aud success! ul practice of veterinary medt- eine calls for the keenest observation and sbrewdest judgment, for while the physioian deals with reason- Z and speaking creatures the veterinarian has mute patients, WETPRINARY TZRAPEUTICS ARE ONR WITH HUMAN; the sume drugs are used, the dose only betng varied, and, under given conditions, the same are called for; thetr modus operand ts the same, only vary- ng by specialinm of function of organs, and thelr abuse is attended by the same dangers to Hic.

Professor Varneil, of kngland, in a recent lecture before the Mutford and Lotuogland Agricultural Society, gave Wem some vaiuabie suggestions tn regard to the qualtficattons and treatment especially of agricultural and draught horses, ‘The lecturer believed that with the introduedon of machinery t gokien period of the Cart horse had passed away. Agricuitural horses, he said, should be free from heveditary and acquired detects, of suficieat power to por.orin @ fair day’s work without becoming visibiy exhausted; free from vice, and from fifieen and @ hali to sixteen hands high, compact of traine, and of good constitution, head, face, mouth, nostrils, ears, and the eye should be bright and clear ta mature age. As a rule, the eye in a horse irom two. to tive years old 13 less brilliant than ta an older horse. A purchaser should not omit to examine the interior of the mouth.

THE NEW TAX LEVY. ‘The Amount to Be Raised Brought Down to a Yet Smatier Limit—The Mourners Many in Consequence. The Board of Apportionment did not hold any meeting yesterday, but will convene again early on Monday morning, when the amounts awarded to the various charitable societies Interested in the levy will be announced. ‘The Board have now only five days in which to com- plete their labors, and as they have an immense amount of work ye: to go through it will be nip and tug all the week tg have everything in ship-shapo order by Saturday. 1t may be of interest to those who have all along been under the impression that the Board would take advantage of the amendment to the bill made by Senator Wood, a republican, just before 1t was [seat allowing them to raise $25,000,000—and by which they could ,egally go the full length of the sum—that such will not be the case ‘the Board have ascertained that accord- ing to the valuation of property submited to them by the Sax Commissioners, by contining themselves to the two per cent rule, they can only raise $21,550,000. This, of course, will make the apportionments of the Board all the more unpleasant to many who, were the amount extended to $25,000,000, might have good cause to rejoice that they were not the losers by the new state of things. As it is, the Board will have to cut down $8,000,000 of the ordinary apportionments tn- stead of $7,000,000, as had aiready been decided upon. The real merits of the new system are cer- tainly beginning to snow themselves, and wiil, un- doubtedly, not be found of little weight if the limi- TEE: are strictly ooserved, as they undoubtedly will be. RILEY'S RENDITION. arges of Bribery Against School Trustce ey for Procuring Situations Under the Board of Education. The Committee on Teachers of the Board of Edu- cation, consisting of Messrs. Gross, Sands and Lewis, inct yesterday afternoon at the Board rooms, corner of Elin and Grand streets, to continue the investigation into the charge of receiving bribes preferred against School Trustee Terence Riley, of the Twenty-second ward, by John Quinn, late janl- tor of Grammar School Na, 53, and by Patrick Golding, who alleges that he paid Riley fifty dollars for procuring for his (Golding’s) daughter a teach- ership in Primary School No. 40, Mr. F. Smyth appeared as counsel for Mr. Biley and Judge Van- derpoe: for the Board of Education. The charge preferred by Quinn was the only one yesterday entered into. Jon Quinn, the complainant, was the first wit- ness examined, and testified as follows:—I know Mr. Riley since 1857; previous to betng janitor L was conductor on the Etghth Avenue Railroad; made my application to the Board of Trusiees of the twenty-second Ward on or about the 10th of suly 1963; agreed to pay Kiley $500 for procuriug my a ; hive paid him since then Ireiused to pay any more on the 16th of last month, whereupon the trustees told me to resign, the decision of the board bemg con- veyed to me by Riley; resigned on the ist inst.

The cross-cxamination of this witness was unim- portant and the committee adjourned, there being no other witnesses present for the complainant. THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, Two Jersey Republicans Fighting Over the Payment of Bills. Two leaders of the republican party in Trenton have not settled their monetary matters respecting the campaign of 1868, Jonathan Cook was collector for the Grant Club, and Robert ©. Beiville, now Clerk of the United States District Court, undertook to take the Boys in Blue to Lambertville at his own expense, according to Cook’s statement, When the campaign was over Belville sent in a bill of $108, nd «agreed with Cook to take seventy-five dollars in setiiement. Cook pail Belviie fifty dollars cash and gave him a check for twenty-five dollars, to mature when Pliny Fisk, a rich 1).an, paid bis suvseripuon of twenty-five dollars. Belvilie said the was In full settie- ment withont referen Fisk’s subseripdion atall. Belville sued Cook before Justice Mills in Trenton, on Saturday, for thirtystwo dotlars— twenty-five dollars for Ue check and seven doliars loaned money. After @ protracted trial the jury renaered @ verdict for seven doilars, and said that the twenty-five dollar check had not matured, but ‘would do so when Pliny Fisk pays his subscription.

Industry, Liberty, Commerce—Scenes at the Opening of the Exhibition—Speeches—Tie Objects Exhibited—Ship Models—Mari- time Produc's of the Peninsula— Sentiments of the Citizens. Napves, April 17, 1871. To-day at noon the International Maritime Expo- sition of Naples was opened by Prince Humbert amid the saiutes of the forts and the men-of-war in the harbor. It has been a long time since this expo- sition was proposed and the first steps taken to- wards the erection of the building in the Riviera di Chiaja—over two years, It was expected to be in- augurated last September, but the war then raging caused the opening to be postpone ; until now, when we at last have the accomplished fact so eagerly awaited in Naples and heralded throughout Italy and Europe. Now that we have it, one is compelled to admit that this fair ts highly creditable to the city and to the Itallan people; at the same tume it need scarcely be added that itis not so brilliant or nu- ‘merously attended as it would be if the countries of the world were in a less troubled and fermenting condition. INDUSTRY, LIBERTY AND COMMERCE have a scanty showing amid the clash of arms, and when all ciforts and resources ure made to conduce to the raising of huge, costly standing a.mies, and for the present, at least, arms and armies are the cue in these poor, afilicted lands, The heir to the throne, accompanie’ by his wife, lett their littie Court at the Quirinal in Kome—where Ristori has been of late amusing them with private theatricals— yesterday morning, ana arrived here in the evening, in order to OPEN THE EXPOSITION IN SOLEMN CEREMONY. It was the first trip whicn they have taken through their new dominions since taking posses- sion of Rome, and, accordingly, I observed as tie royal train passed immense crowds assembled to greet with enthusiasm the future King and Queen of resurrected Italy. At the principal stations along the route, especially in the late Ponudcal States—at Albano, Velletri, Frosinone, Caprano—the peasants, gentry and military turned outin great numbers andin costumes delightfully cheering to the eye. ‘The King was expected, but be thought best to send down the Prince todo the ceremonious work, for Victor Emmanuel is not over fond of grand pageants; in a reign of twenty-two years he has had enough of them to tire him; so this time, instead of coming to greet the eaters of maccaronl, he took himself off to Turin for the more agreeable pastime ofthe chase, This morning at twelve, then, the Prince started from the palace, lately the property and residence of the celebrated ex-King Bomba, in a grand royal coach, ana, after traversing the prin- cipal streets, arrived at the MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE EXPOSITION BUILDING, guarded by marines and national guardsmen, who, unlike those of Paris, scem to vie with each other In Going all the honors of royalty, The august visitors were received by the committece at the nead of the undertaking and by a host of dignitaries in crosses, stars, ribbons, uniforms and cocked hats—army and havy oilicers, Ministers of the Crown, deputies, foreign commissioners and the Consuls and at the moment of their entrance into the reception hall the salutes were pealed forth by the forts and the Italian and foreign war vessels drawn up near the beach. No American war vessel was present, tne Franklin having lett some three weeks since. ‘This absence was the cause of complaint on the part of many. England, Austria and Spain were the only loreign Powers represented by the assembled feet, however, the post of honor was yet accorded by the authorities to the two greatest maritime nations; and, although America was only represented in the exhibiting rooms by a few sewing machines, 1 was with gratification and pleasure that all Americans present on the occasion remarked that the stars and Stripes floated trom the roof of the structure out- side, and hung inside, just to the mght hand of the President upon is chatr ol state, In THB GRAND RECEPTION ROOM. The latter, alter the princes were seated in front of him, read a speech, which was responded to by the Ministers of the Navy and of Commerce. Tlie speeches were congratulations upon the changed condition of Italy. It was maintained by the speak- ers that what had been achieved in throwing olf op- pression could only be atiriputed to those who had ored in the arena of industry and com- merce at vartous intervals in the national history. A marked contrast was drawn Letween the past aud the present progress of the nations, for which there is no longer a struggle of hatreds anu jeaiousies, but a noble emulation in the vast Held of industrial ac- tivity and enterprise. Italy Should be gratetul to tne House of Savoy for the high privilege of CONVOKING THE FREE NATIONS to this solemn = Industrial Exhibition — in her chief = city. A_ word of compassion was addressed to France, which, snifering from cruet misfortunes, coula not find time to be represented in the present tournament of ciyiiiza- tion “The strong lave their solemn hour of trial and misfortune, and this hour now weigns unfavora- bly upon nobie France, which, after the foreign struggle, directs in despair her arm against herself— oh! may she pot commit that suicide, but preserve herself to the civiuzation of Europe?” It was meet that Lialy, old in maritime glories and on account of her geographical position, sould strive to emulate the other nations now holding the supremacy of the seas by initiating such special exhibitions as the present one. and that she shonid ever encourage the enterprises and Works appertaining to navigation, the factor of riches and the powerful promoter of international civilization, EVERY NAVIGATOR who carries to a foreign people the products of the industry of his country 18 an unconscious wissiouary ol civilization, because he facilitates the union of thought and heart between diferent people. Hope Was expressed that this EXposition might be couse- crated by an international Congress, inten: upon establishing the basis of a law to remove from mare ume warfare the opprobriam of ancient barvarism. The speechilying was not long, ana, befigto the point, the special audience, composed ef fashionables and guests of the Chosen jew, as the reception room was very smail, Was not over an- noyed; when the readers had subsided the signat Was nade to the caunon, und their booming, amid the waving of flags avd the cheering o: the assem- vied muluiudes, announced that TRE ONIES, were over and the fair opened for the inspection of the world at jarge. No laaies were present except the Princess Margherita and her two ladies of honor, and tis, by universal consent, dctracted mucn from the charms and coup Wautl of the scene; nor were ihe great unwashed admitied until the royal visit Was over at three o'clock; then they rushed in at three francs per head: to-morrow the fee will be re- duced to Jour cents, for tke benefit of al! the poorer classes, comprising those jamous gentlemen, the lazzaroni and other goers down into tue deep of the fishing fraternity. ROYALTY PRESENT. The Prince, attended by his suite, and the Princess, attended by hers, alter the opening ceremonial had veen concluded, paired off in separate directions to inspect the products, displayed with great taste with caretal arrangement of labeis bearing the name of the inventors, exhibitors, towns and countries. Foreign nations are but siimly represeuted, and, on account of the times, Itallan products and cities keep the pas wherever we eye reaches in the several rooms, The inventors and exbibi+ tors were cordially conversed with by the Princes as they went trough their Walks receiving explana- ons of all things as though they were a couple of overgrown babies, incapabie of secimg or under- standing anything by themseives, Poor princes |— What an unenviable lot they have at most times, to be stared af and treated like carious animals, while bored with stiff, stereotyped performances, and oh ! always to hear the royal march, which, pretty al- though it undoubtedly is, Inust sound to their ears Whenever it fs struck up very mach like the adminis. tration of a nauseous medicine tastes to the aMlicted. ‘The march was played for them this time—and they have been hearing it ever since they left the cradie— very much alter the fashion of a haad organ grind- ing out Yankee Doodle, for instance, for three con- secutive hours under one’s window without the in- termission of ® minute's stoppage.

Cpening Ceremonies of the World’s Fair of 1871 in London. Tho Programme—Distinguished People Present Who Were There—Scenes—The Prince of Wales, Acting for the Queen, De- clared the Exhibition Opened. {From the London Telegraph, May 2.) The exhibition of ist] is the first of an annual’ series; and it Would not be expedient, uf even It were ‘possible, to disturb the ordinary flow of London life with @ great exhibition, on the orig inal plan and scale every year. in fact, the very operations of nature would seem to ve nega tived by any such process. The coming exht- bitions, of wich tials is the first, are branches from a mighty stem. It would be contrary to all reason and kpowleige were we to expect that any one of them should tanscend the magniinde and importance of the parent stock, Enough M they prove the vitality and continue the growth of that great trunk which did surely strike 1s roots ceep into the national regard, Ail whose accu- racy o1 remembrance will warrant their sneaking on the subject of the first exhibition wiil allow that Its noble surplus of £186,436 has been pro- perly applied by her Majesty's Commissioners, in accordance with the spirit of the original design, They’ expended £150,000 in the purcnase of land near the site ot the Crystal Palace of 1851, and were backed by a parilamentary vote 1p their scheme of building, on the, ground #0 obt ituttons for the advancement of industrial scence and art, In 1358 am act waa ‘Was passed dissolving the relanonship which till that time had existed between her Majesty’s Commis- sioners and the governiuent, Some time afterwards the Horticultural Soctety took # lease of twenty-two acres in the midst of the Kensington-Gore estate, & main portion of the purchased land, agreeing to spend £50,000 in laying out the enclosed quadrangle as a winter garden aud in building 4 conservatory ‘on the north side; waile the Commissioners, on their part, undertook to erect arcades bounding the area on the east and west, These works were @xecuted nd the gardens were opened in 1861, aimos) the last ic act of the Prince Consort being performed on that occasion, in the planting of a Weilingtoula Gigantea on the lawn near the conservatory. Tt had been intended to hoid another Internation Exhtbt- yn that year, but the unsettled state of the conti- nent of Lurope forbade the instant realization of ihe project, and the death of the Prince threw & gloom over the deferred enterprise when it Was carried into effect mm 1802. The building, designed ) duller & general plan sug- gested, It by Uie Prince Cousort—was much more costiy than Paxtou's glass house; was not in auy respect better sutted to its purpose, and was lar Jess comely in appearance, A feeble was made in Parliament against the general call for demolition of the nd down it came, With the exception of certain br ures Which had been used as a restanrant, are partly ap- propriated to the sain ice again. In 1866 @ iree lease of the ground uired by the committee for the memorial was oiered by ner Majesty's Commissioners for 1851, and the Prince of Wales accepied the presidency of & commission for erecting the Royal Aibert Hall, The joundation stove of thts edifice, which 1s the a of the late Capwin Fowke, greatly amended by Lieutenant Coivnei Scott, was laid by the Queen in May, 1867, and the hall was opeved by her Majesty on the 29th of last March, It formea an essential part of the ex. ibitton which was opened yesterday, on her Majesty’s behalf, by the Prince of Wales, THE OUT-DOOR PORTION OF THE PROGRAMME was very similar to that on the occasion of the 1nan- guration, when her Majesty atvended on the 29th of March last. ‘The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cam- bridge, Prince Christian of Schieswig-Hoistein, Prince John of Glicksvurg and the Count and Count- ess of Flancers, attended by the great oilicers of her Majesty’s household im watting, were couveyed from Buckingham Palace tn seven of the royal state carriages,’ escorted by a captain's command of the Life Guards. The line of route was kept by the Koyal Horse Guards, whose duty was of the lightest description, as the attendance only amounted to a thin fringe of spec. tators of ue most respectable and orderly charac- ter, Atthe Queen’s entrance of the Koyal Albert Hall the crowd was tolerably thick, and Was incon- venientiy increased by whut cannot but be con- sidered as @ great oversight on the part of those charged with the arrangements for visiiors. 1 will be seen that the proceedings oi the day were di- vided into two distinct parts—the opening of the International Exhibtuion and an exhibition of mu- sical art later in the day, A FROM ELEVEN O°CLOCK the stream of carriages conveying the Invited dig- mitaries Was incessant, and much ioterest was evinced as Ministers and @x-Ministers in the Winds sor noilorm, the Lord Mayor and the civic dignita- ties of London and of provincial cities and towns, in their roves of office, and naval and military off cers of all arms of the service im full-dress un forms, drove up in rapid succession, At half past ‘eleven o'clock a company of the Scots Fusitier Guards marched up to the Queen’s entrance to form the guard of honor, Weir fine band alone being in attendance to_per- form the National Anthem. A buttery of the Royat Horse Artillery trom Woolwich was posted in the park to fire a royal salute. At twelve o clock twa of the royal carriages came up, bringing the Duke Bumsiead, Lewis D.
