THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The moat interesting incidents to be recorded of
the Exhibition yesterday were those which were
produced by the state of the weather. It rained
incessantly all day, and although this did not pre-
vent the people from coming to Kensington, it
made them particularly anxious as to bow they
should get away. So general was the feeling that
the visitors began to pour out of the building as
early as one o'clock, iu the hope that the early bird
might clash the cab, as my Lord Dundreery would
say. But however early they came into the mar-
ket they found as usual the demand exceeding the
supply, or rather that the dealers were prepared
to "hold" as firmly as ever. Formerly a party
of four might with a good deal of persuasion
prevail on a cabman to take them, but yes-
terday parties of six or seven seemed to
be the minimum, and each vehicle went away so
closely packed as to call for the intervention of
the Cruelty to Animals Society. The cabmen seen
in short to be determined to brave everything.
About public opinion they are not sensitive ; they
know by experience that the magistrates and the
police are powerless, and they believe that a mon-
und House of Commons has no time to pass an
act of parliament which could interfere with their
roaring trade. They boast openly that they make
each N. a week, besides what they give to their pro-
prietor, and if they are occasionally brought before
the magistrate awl fined, they have a fund which
clears all expenses. The impositions that are prac-
tised on foreigners are incredible, and there is not
one of these gentlemen who has not some wondrous
tale to tell of the expense of street travelling is
London. _

Tho sale of season tickets at the reduced price
does not as yet show any very strong symptoms of
vitality, but most probably will improve as the dsy
of the ceremonial approaches.
The following is the official return of the number
of visitors yesterday:—B season tickets, 4,903 ;
by payment, 52,541; total, 57,244.
