THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Exhibition, it appears, has its "long Thurs-
days " as well as the Opera, as, from causes which
nobody can make out, Thursday produces more
numerous returns than any other day in the week.
Yesterday was uo exception to the rule, nearly 55,000
persons having entered up to 3 o'clock, with a pro-
spect of some thousands more before the close. We
observed a good many country faces as well as ma-
tures* amongst the company, and for the benefit of
the owners we beg to publish a warning to every
one taking omnibus for Kensington, to ask the
conductor about the fare previous to entering
the vehicle. The wise legislators who framed
the act of parliament under which these
vehicles ply for hire made it imperative
on the owners to place a tariff of the fares inside
the door, where nobody could see it until they were
fairly seated and the ship was under weigh, and, in
addition to this, the owners have invented such
an ingenious style of stating their terms, that it
requires as long and careful study as " Bradshaw's
Guide" to obtain even a proximate idea of what it
means. These two features of the omnibus system
tell fearfully on the pockets of the inexperienced at
the present time. Fares of fourpenoe, sixpence,
and even ninepence, are charged from the same
point of departure, according to the conductor's
idea of the squeezability of the victim, and people
I of humble means, especially foreigners, are often
seriously embarrassed by finding the demand upon
their purses; to be about double what theyexpected.
The table of fares is appealed to, but nobody under-
stands it, and the money must be paid. It is but
justice to the General Omnibus Company, and the
Manchester estab:ishments, to state that tricks like
these are not played in any of their vehicles, but
by au indescribable mob of outsiders, whose
'buses are a disgrace to the metropolis in appear-
ance, and would not be allowed to ply the second
day were there anything like proper official in-
spection of the public conveyances.
Perhaps the most important fact which we
have bad to record since the opening of the
Exhibition transpired yesterday—namely, the ar-
rival of eleven bales of Indian cottou, of superior
quality and beautiful iu colour, grown from Ame-
rican seed in the district of Dharwar (North
Others), Bombay Presidency. It was gathered at
the end of February, left Dharwar by a new route
for the new harbour of Sedasliwur on the 16th of
May, and arrived at the Exhibition yesterday
morning, having been only two months in transit.
It is to be ginned by Messrs. Platt and Co., whom
patent gins may be seen iu the Western Annex.
Lord Palmerston was amongst the visitors yes-
terday.
The highest temperature during the day, as
shown by Negretti and Zainbra's patent thermo-
meters? was at 2.30 p.m., when it was—in the nave,
66.9 ; in the galleries, 67.5.
The following are the total numbers admitted
yesterday, compared with the corresponding day in
1851 :
