Opening qf the IVorUVs Fair. 1 fro Cambria, from Liverpool, brings the following account of the opening of l!iSSrcat Exhibition at London, on the il instant, in the presence, it is stated, of ".000 persons. The account is from a l2Uer .in the London Times: "After several days' excitement, during n'uch the public curiosity has been y'ound up to the highest pitch, the morn of Thursday, the day fixed for the opening of the Great Exhibition of Indus try of all Nations, opened most auspi ciously, un the preceding day we had i t t - " anu nan, wiin very cold weather ft B . - out the glorious 1st cf May was uninte rupted by scarcely a cloud; and at mid day, when the Queen ascended the throne, the effulgence of the sun left no other wish ungratificd. As far as the mortal arrangements depended on man, they were perfect; and I rejoice to say that the day passed off without a single accident that I have heard of. I found upon reach ing Picadilly at nine in the morning, a line of carriages which reached from the Exhibition to the eastern end of Long Acre, a good couple of miles, and the same tiling existed west, north and south. Finding this to be the case, 1 alighted and walked into Hyde Park, entering the Commissioners' gale without the slight est inconvenience. The scene upon en tering was beautiful in the extreme. Al ready every seat was occupied; but a member of Parliament, who was an ex hibitor, contrived to make a little coterie m me l unisian department, lo which I . I m . vas admitted and saw the whole inaucur- anon scene under the happiest point of view. The company kept pouring in until the last moment; and, at half past eleven o'clock, I gazed upon the wonders . . I on her left. They were accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Roy-: al. The court circle was now completely formed, making a tableau never to he lost in the vast edifice. The Archbishop speare, anu ihr crystal louniam in me ecu nfCnntitthtirv then delivered the nraver ! tre of the transept, presenting a very nf mxrn!ion. which was followed by - - - .. ., ' . ihn H i lr iiiih ihorus ot tlanue . under IOC ililll.lUJI! V.UUIUO im h,iiiuci, The effect of this was most striking, and the voices of the choristers were here in the fullest perfection. A procession was then formed of a most interesting charac- 11 t n 1 ter. The State ncraius prcceumg wiessra. Paxton, Fox, and Henderson, led the - rr 1 . -.11 iltn Amitlc way. 1 ncn came un an uie umuiaio en gaged in constructing the building; after wards the foreign acting commissioners; and most singular was it to see all the va rious costumes worn by hard headed ca pable men from every quarter of Ihe world. Then followed the Royal Com missioners, among whom I noticed Mr. Cobden, dressed in a plain black coat. Then followed the venerable Duke of Wellington, walking side by side with Ihe Marquis of Anglesea; both were loud ly cheered. The foreign ambassadors, a mong whom Mr. Lawrence appeared to considerable advantage from his age and commanding appearance, followed, and Her Majesty's Ministers, headed by Lord John Russel. These were loudly ap plauded1; and lastly the Queen and Prince Albert, the one leading thcPrincc of Wales and the other the Princess Royal, closing me procession with the Royal Prussian guests at the palace, and the ladies of the household. The procession marched a long the British or western nave, and then, re-crossing the transept, passed on to the eastern extremity, the U. States' end. At every step new acclamations arose; the music from the Various organs saluted the procession as it passed, and thus every person in the building was enabled to see every individual in the cortege. The Queen then declared "the Exhibition o pened;" and the trumpetsand artillery an nounced the fact to the countless multi tudes outside. The whole auditory arose' to give a parting cheer, or a series of deaf ening acclamations of joy, and the cere mony terminated by the retirement of the Queen, who went back to Rocking ham Palace in the state in which she had come. The multitude in the park were countless. I looked through the glass, window and a sea of human beings sur rounded me on all sides. Every body was in good humor, and all the supersti tious presentiments of mischief which had been formed in the imagination of some minds were wholly falsified. Never was sc great a spectacle inaugurated with so much good order and tranquilit?, in th presence of perh;ips half a million of hu man beings. The Queen having left the building, the company began to circulate. Perhaps 5'our readers at a distance will proceed with me in a rapid tour throughout the various departments of the Exhibition. The first objects which strike the visitor upon entrance, cither at the north or south end of the transept, arc two magnificent - iron, bronze, and zinc, the latter of a very remarkable character. Almost the first object which arrests your attention isthcjludcs. Whilst agricultural implements Koh i noor diamond, secured in a strong : graceful and striking appearance.

' objects as are contained in the nave alone. ; I was prepared to find that the articles from the United Stales would fall short of the other parts of the Exhibition, from the statements put forth that they had demand-1 led more room than they could adequately fill. Through the exertions of Mr. Rid dle, the vacant space Ii3s been filled up, and although this division is not so crowd ed as the British side, it contains a nation al collection highly interesting.

A se- ries of maps prepared for certain lectures at the missionary meetings, were admira ble, and greatly surpasses those of a simi lar character in our national and public schools. It is, perhaps invidious to sin gle out individual exhibitions, but I must say that the zeal and energy with which the representatives of Messrs.

The exhibition of Pa ' i. guerreotypes is excellent.. Leaving the division devoted to the li nked States, you enter the great depart ment of the Zollverien, on the north and south sides. The collection of machinery and manufactures, of the most varied de scription, presents a thousand objects of the 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 sides, exhibits a variety of products which place her in a very honorable position in the Exhibition, All the Austrian exhib itors are dressed in a simple Austrian green uniform, with coats fastened at the breast with a long clasp, inscribed "Aus tria," so that the general effect is admira ble. Hurrying through Holland and Bel gium, you enter the extensive region of France, which, when complete, will be very beautiful, and worthy of the taste and skill of that great country. Switzerland and Brazil, with Italy and Spain on the north, succeed, and are followed by Greece, Persia, Egypt and Turkey. The unfortunate delay in thearrival of the Tur kish steamer, with their objects, render their division incomplete but the space abutting upon the transcript having been appropriated to the Foreign Ambassadors, and ladies of rank who had the entree, the deficiency was admirably concealed. Crossing the transept, you enter the Brit- ish East Indies, which presents a very room. You are now, on both sides the nave, fairly in the British domestic lati occupy the whole remaining length of the extreme south, paper and printing, and machinery in motion, fill up the extreme processes, with a detached building whence the steam motive power is derived.

I suffered great fatigue in going through the whole exhibition on Monday last; indeed, such a task is almost beyond the power of any man to accom plish Jn one day, and to observe the in livable variety of objects which meet you at every turn. I say that I went through the whole, but I actually missed the extensive division of the machinery, which I did not sec till Thursday. Upon the whole, the exhibition is succesful to the highest point of any conception which mav hnvo been formed of it. Every thJncriQwrll chosen, so perfect in its I tinrt ihnt whether it is the most refined nnrt fnstidinus lad v in the land, or the ru- dest, yet most intelligent mechanic, the attractions are so numerous, so various, so surprising, and so useful, that a visitor Bacon and Lard FOR SALE at the store of J.
