(.REVTEB's TUEOBAHB.I London, May 4. Several Royal persons have privately visited the Exhibition. At the opening ceremony Her Majesty the Queen was very quietly dressed in black, and thir teen of her, children and grandchildren were present. Her Majesty was immensely pleased at the reception accorded, and termed the Exhibition a magnificent one. In the opening ode a passage occurred eulogising the Federal idea. Her Majesty specially noticed the groups of Hindoos and aborigines in their several courts. Lord Augustus Loftus was not present, being confined to his house through indisposition. The market and winebars for the sale of colonial produce and wines are a great attraction, and Adelaide fruit, which is being sold here, has realized good prices. Portraits of the Soudan Contingent and views ef Sydney are greatly admired. Sir P. O. Owen, on. behalf of the Prince of Wales, thanked Messrs Bosisto and Thompson, Sir Samuel Devonport, Mr Scott, Sir F. D. Bell, Dr Von Haast, Sir Alexander Stewart, and Messrs Bunny and Garrick, as ardent workers
