OPENING OF THE WORLD'S FAIR. The English papers by the sle.-mer Cam bria furnish full details of the imposing cere-, emonies connected with the forma! opening, by Queen Victoria in ihe presence of thirty thousand spectators, of tire Great Industrial Exhibition at London. The following ex tracts respecting this event nre from the Eu ropean Times of the 3d instant : After several days' excitement, during which tho public curiosity has beep wound up to the highest pitch, the morning of Thuriday, the day fixed for the opening of the Great Exhibi tion of Industry of all Natinns.joprnedinostjau spiriously. On the preceding day we had rain and hail, wilh very cold weather, but the glorious 1st of May was uninterrupted by scarcely a cloud ; and at mid-day, when the Queen ascended the throne, the effulgence of the sun left no other wish ungratified. As far as the mortal arrangement depended on man, they were perfect; and 1 rejoice to say that the day passed off without a single accident that I have heard of. I found upon reaching Piccadilly, at nine in the morning, a line of j;arriage which jcached fmm die Exhibitioii to the eastern end ol Long Acre, a good couple of miles, and the same thing existed west, north, anil south. Finding this to be the case, i a lighted, attd walked mlo Hyde Parkere. tering ihe Commissioners' gate without the slightest inconvenience. The scene npon en tering was beautiful in die extreme.

Then followed the Royal Commissioners, soilings' whom I noticed Mr. Coliden, dressed iu a plain black rout.

The foreign ambassadors, vJamong whom Mr. Lawrence appeared lo con siderable advantage Irom Ins age and com manding appearance, rolIowed,'aiid Her "Maj esty's Ministers, headed by Lord John Bus sell. These were loudly applauded; and lastly the Queen and Prince Albert, die one leading the Prince of Wales, and ihe other the Princess Roval, closing the procession with the Royal Prussian guests at the palace, and the ladies of the household. The procession first marched along the Hrilish or western nave, and Uicn, recrossing the transept, passed on the eastern extremity, the U. Suites' end. At every step new acclamations arose; the music from the various organs s aluted the pro cession as it passatl, said thus i.very person in the building was enabled lo see every individ- l .i :"'.i..

The whole auditory a rose to give a parting cheer, or a series of deafening acclamations of joy, and the cere mony terminated by the retirement ol the Qaernt-wfto wttbcfc s w Bttekmgltam Pab ace in the stale in which she had come. The .: . ..r :..' .l.'.l. i. ..I stuious presentiments ol miscluel which had been formed in the imagtnalion of some minds were wholy falsified. Never was so great a spectacle i.ijuguaraled with so much good or di'r and tranquility, in the presence of perhaps ' half a million of human beings. Another aecoiint in l'ie London Times, speaking of ihe Royal procession around Ihe Crystal Palace, for the examination of the most prominent parts of the Exhibition, goes on to say : The French organ, by I)u Croquet, and thai from Eiluri, by Seliulze, each in Itirn poured forth its music ;j and as the pageani roiuiiled the eastern euu of the building the bands of the Coldstream and Seoiis Fusilier Guard varied the programme by their spirit stirring strains. The return along the north side of the nave renewed the enthusiasm of the foreigner and visitors assembled there. The cheering and Ihe waving of hats and handkerchiefs went on continuously around the building, and at last, having completed a progress more triumphant in its pe icefultiess and spirit of -goodwill than the proudest war like pageant that ever ascended ihe capitnl of ancient Home, thn Queen returned once more to the position in the transept where her throne was placed. She looked exceedingly well, and bore the excitement of the occasion wilh a firmness worthy of herself and of the people she got ems. The applausa of ihe aa emblage was anknowleged both by herself and the Prince in the rnost gracious manner. His Royal Highness appeared less composed than ihe Majesty, and his emotion was visible when the ceremony anil the processiitn had been happily condoned to its close. It was natural lhat he should fe.d strongly the term ination of a spectacle, the grandest perhaps that the World ever saw. and with which hi name and reputation are henceforth inseparalc ly associated. He wore a field marshals uni form, and the Prince nf Wale die Highland dresa. Her Majesty w;i magnificently at tired, but we are not learned enough in such ; matters to describe her toilet. The royal children were objects of great atlention. and UiaPrin.ce of Wales received several special cheers from the assemblage. And now the last act nf the ceremonial re mains to be recorded.

Such was the stale, opening of ihe Great Exhibition ; a pageantry which no on who witness..! it can ever forget, aitd which is stamped on the history of this age and eouo-1 try in cliaraclers which will not easily Ue efM faced. Those who have imluKrpd in sinister els. Whuig could exceed the good humor and disposition to be pleased visihle over eve ry part nf the building.

WiL Com ELECTIONEERING IN KENTUCK Yr High up the Rig Sandy, in Kentucky, is amoiintainous region of country known as the "Knobs," where doctors and Schoolmasters arc rinknuwn, where a man tinder 'six feet would be a curiosity, and the girls and ihe good wives all are able 10, "whip their weight irt Vvildcts.'1 A-nrroaHy-, - -or- bi-anmtnily as election days come round, the uncultivated inhabitants of this region become of importance, and their only property, their votes, are begg d and bargained for by the would-be ser vants of the public. When Davy Trimble was a candidate for tl)'ir suffrages he w as op- pMd,UyXdft;'.'.h "stumping tour" some weeks in advance r,f his arrival. The tributaries of.the Uig Sandy had poured out their hundreds, all eager to drink the Colonel' whisky, and the majority ready; to receive auch other token of regard , es he might think it necessary to give to se cure their suffrage The Colonel had de claimed against bank and Federalist, op pression and , political chicanery, nnd was ringing the changes upon the Tariff", when he was interrupted by an old fellow, who as!.ed : ..'-.. "Well now KurncL, will yo jist Ipll ns what sort of a fellah this ere Tariff is, for we've beam tell on him, from most every one of nnr town chaps what eomo op here- to- git 'leel ed ?' "Why 'Squir, this tariff is'nt a man. hut a machine like a Carey plough that has been in vent' d by the Whig to scratch poor men's backs with, and if they get into pewer you'll be harried aboul the country likoso many dogs: and Davy Trimble is a Whig, and is in favor of the Tariff." W'hrrciiMin r shout wentnp that if Davy Trimble came after iheir voles, they would shoot him at siglu. Sometime later the lamented Richard Men nifee and judge French were eonvaine the same district for a sert in Coneress. The speeches had been made and a barbarue giv en, aud the excitement of ihe day waa lo be wound Up by a dance al a double log cabin near a branch. Not wishing to lone any op portunity of making friends, the candidate we-e in ttendanee Judge French holding the button of a young hunter wliile he dis coursed of imposts and the unconstitutionality of internal iniproiemeDl, and Mennifee wilh his coat thrown in a corner nid hi sleeve rolled up, swinging ihe rosiest rheked has in the room, through the wild gallop of a country danre. Such a comrast could not remain unobserved, sud il w soon whisper ed around lhat Judge French Would be ready enough lo dance wiih the fine folks al Owen boro j hut h( was loo proud '10 dance with the like of u; and cold shoulder and con temptuous look were bestowed upon ilu' Judge, aa freely a were smiles and promises of support at Ihe polls, ifpon tl;o merry Dick Men il I fee. The cabin waa built at the Irttse of a high hill that came lo a nnint a miln and a half Vlow, and upon whose opposite si.le was alio ifier cabin (Tim Buffum'.) where a aimi- lar jolifieation was being held on the same night. To reach Huffum's, it w necesaary to rule down o ihe ponri nnd up w- th -otln er stile, making the whole distance three miles; or to take a rough loot path across the hill. Judge French determined lo try hi taciics upon this new fjc3rtofoperaliou;and mounting his horse leisurely tf.rtted down lit? branch ; when Mennifee, who .had obirpved. hi, move ments and suspected hi intention, determin ed not to b out-wined by his opponent sod look the "short cut" over the hill.
