The following table shows the exact number of
visitors on each day during which the Exhibition
has been open up to May 10, compared with the
corresponding days in 1861. It will be observed that
the season ticket admiasions in 1851 are all esti-
mated in round numbers, as the police did not begin
counting systematically until the season was far
advanced:

The total receipts from admission fees for the
week ending May 3, 1851, were 1,001.; and for the
corresponding period in 1862, 5061. The money
received from the same source in the week ending
May 10, 1851, was 10,2981. ; in 1862, during the
corresponding week, it was 5,7631. The receipts
for season tickets, however, in 1862, show an im-
provement upon 1851. The whole sum received from
this source in 1861 was 67,5141. ; while in 1862, up
to May 13, the commissioners have obtained (after
deducting the payment to the Horticultural
Society), 72,0001. The increase is explained by the
advanced prices of the tickets. The admissions on
Monday, the 12th, were 8,433-3,083 being by
' payment at the doors • and on Tuesday, May 13,
the admissions were 10,547,—.3,903 being ss. visi-
tors. The number of visitors yesterday, up to 5
p.m., was 9,157,-3,899 having paid at the doors.

The receipts of the oommiaaioners will, of course,
be swelled from various sources, such as
the refreshment contracts, the photographic
contracts, and the advertisements in the cata-
logues ; but it is impossible now to make any reliable
estimate under this head. The refreshments and
the photography at present may have produced
eight or ten thousand pounds for the exchequer ; but
unless the expenses were stated on the other aide,
these figures prove little or nothing. The building
will produce the chief financial difficulty with which
the commissioners will have to deal. It has already
cost nearly twice the sum paid for the Crystal Palace
in 1851 ; the contractors are even now enforcing a
large claim for extra work in and about the build-
ing, although the roof and floor are a disgrace to
their workmanship ; and they are anxiously waiting
for the time when the receipts shall reach 400,000/.
to draw another 100,0001. under the terms of their
contract.

The probability is that the market for season
tickets is over, unless the flower show, on the
21st, of the Horticultural Society should attract
some purchasers. It has been arranged that inclu-
sive tickets may be purchased up to the date of the
show, and as the day will be a great gathering of
the beau monde it may act favourably on the reve-
' nues of the Exhibition. There is an immensity
of work still to be done inside, and
there is no corner, however remote, to
which visitors penetrate, in which they are not
greeted with the pleasant sounds of the saw and
the hammer, and half smothered by the dust which
is raised by the joint operation of these two useful
ignillements. We made our way yesterday to the
ery in which the Norwich shawls are exhi-
ited, and seeing a crowd round one case we inquired
what was the attraction, and were surprised to
learn that the public had somehow found out that
in Mr. Clatburn'a case was deposited the identical
shawl from which Mr. F‘rith had copied when
draping one of the principal female figures
in " The Railway Station. Several persons
said the picture was an exact copy of the shawl—
s proof of the wonderful care with which great
artists look after every detail of their work. The
galleries generally would be much more numerously
attended but that at every ten or a dozen yards a
board is laid across the passage warning the prome-
naders that they must not proceed any further in
that direction.

The Austrian court begins to blossom a little,
and yesterday displayed some very fine chandeliers,
which must be not only very beautiful, but very
strong, as one of the largest of them which fell
lately smashed the table underneath without doing
itself any material injury. A good deal of interest
will for many reasons be felt in the Hungarian
section of this department, where Mr. Janko,
the commissioner, is prepared to give every expla-
nation. A good deal of it consists of the wines of
the country, white and red, the quality of which
will soon be decided upon by the jurors, but
amongst the rest is a precious little glass barrel of
imperial Tokay, which ought to be submitted to a
more general examination. Even to look at it,
L blazing like a topaz through its crystal prism, is
' sufficient inducement for a walk round to the wee-
