sylvania to permit these outside States to exceed her

Exhibition, bet aleo the greatest day of any Exhibition
yet held. How they suspeeded is ehown by the tigurte.

London knows what a crowd is. hut Filly London
can appreciate the condition of affairs when all this
vast number crowded withiu the erounds. 'led se many
more onteide stopped to seethe illumination and fire-
works in the evening-. There were half a million people
at right o'clock within a rallies of three quarters of a
mile around George's Hill, this cornmandieg eminence
on the north-vest edge of the •gronnds, from which
Brock and Co., of Sydenhatn', left off the 6 neet display
of fireworks ever seen in this country. No words can
:deecribe the crowd, as it was lighted up by the fire-
evorke, the moon, and the 14°6H0-it-on the buildings ;
neither are ivorels adequate to tell hew that crowd
got home. The railways ran till three in the morn-
ing. The roads leading towards the city were a
solid moving mass of vehicles and pedeetrians till
midnight and after. The four gloat bridges across
the Sohuylkill were streams of moving humanity
and horseflesh for hours. London has seen this
thing on great occasions, but America has never seen
anything like it before. The "Pennsylvania day ''
eclipsed any previone day in the history of World's
Fairs. It is in this way that the Philadelphia Exhibi-
tion, at the rate at which the people are moving, js
expected to ecpial, if not exceed, any former one in
numbers. The three and a half mtllions of paying
visitors at Vienna during the whole time that Exhi-
bition was open is already far exceeded by the
4,583.463 paying visitors at Philadelphia during the
119 days that have passed. Counting the free admis-
sions, the total is now 5,996,786, and there are yet
six weeks to the close, on the 19th of November.
The money receipts are about 2,100,000 dols., Or more
than double those at Vienna. And with all this, the
Exhibition is closed on Sundays,, the great Cantinental
holiday.

The only remains of this palace are to be found in the
building which occupies the corner of the Qaai des
Gelestins, and which, though every pane of glass is
broken, contains a singular collection of books and
furniture. In one room are several volumes of newi-
papers bound, and the coverings are half rotted
by the rain which drips through the ceiling. The
fl-or is littered with booka,.(which appear to have
been lying therei for- years, awl which are ready to
crumble into dust. tn a .•;edchamber are to be seen a
gilt, crown, several specimens •of minerals, pictures,
literally crusted with dust; two or three rusty clocks,
and a mass of hangings and curtains, which are falling
,to pieces. In • a bedroom on, the floor above are 50 or
..60 dolls mounted .upon wire- springs, will* to judge

caying furniture covers the floors and one can hardly

or other. Buis, tapestry, large mirrors, rare and

fusion. I believe that the reason of this istebe found.
