THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION,

Information has been received in the Exhibition
building of a plan for pushing the sale of tickets
which strikes us as being exceedingly well calcu-
lated—first, to catch the attention of the proviu-
cial working classes ; and, secondly, to enable
many of them who might otherwise have had to stay
at home to come up to London and see the world
show. A lottery—the most innocent ever known
—has been started in Manchester, with Fallibitioe
tickets and free trips to London and back as the
prizes. The scheme is a shilling for each chanc,,
and every twelfth chance is to be a prize, compris-
ing a ticket for the Exhibition and a railway
pass to London and back. We under-
stand that the plan has been im-
mensely relished in Cottonopolis, and that it is
likely to be extended to Birmingham and oth,r
towns, increasing the value or number of the prize
according to the nearness of the district to town.
There is no reason why it should not be tried in
London, where the prize might be a family ticket,
or a ticket and omnibus fare, and a dinner at either
Mr. Morrish's or M. Veillard's. We do not think
there is much danger of the Attorney-General in.
terfering with this harmless infringement of the
Lottery Act.
The half-crown week draws to its conclusion in a
blaze of triumph. Yesterday's was a most nume-
rous attendance, and the company was pretty
equally scattered over the whole building.
The courts allotted to the countries sin the
north of Europe are blossoming out with all the
rapidity peculiar to their own short summers. The
Sweden and Norway department exhibited yester-
day several novelties, including models of all the
coasting vessels, some rich cases of plate, and an
assortment of chronometers, for which the exhibitor
asserts an immense improvement on those now in
use. One, which it appears has been six mouthy
under trial in the Observatory at Stockholm, loci
during that time only the 300th part of a second.
The court is, however, as yet far from complete,
and we merely note these facts in passing to show
that the Exhibition still continues to grow daily in
attractiveness.
Several musical performances are announced for
to-day, including one on the great organ from
Hull, by Dr. Chipp, and a pianoforte recital, under
the western dome, by Herr-Pauer.
The number of visitors yesterday was as follows :
—Season tickets, 7,014 ; on payment, 16,629;
total, 23,643. Among them were the ex-Queea
of the French, the Duke of Richmond, the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne, the Duc de Nemours, lied
Bruce, Admiral Roos, Sir Alexander and lady
Spearman, Sir Hugh Dalrymple, the Counte,,of
&afield, the Bishop of Winchester, and lady Sarah
Lindsay.

THE IMMORALITIES OP THE HAYMARKET.

A numerous deputation, composed of noblemen
clergymen, and tradesmen of the districts surrounding the
Haymarket, waited on Sir George Grey, yesterday after.
noon, for the purpose of calling his attention to the deader
and moralities prevailing in the Haymarket sod neigh.

Lord Cst.rnoars introduced the deputation, nod stated
that their object was to lay before Sir George Grey • me.
monal regarding the vices sad immoralities which prevailed
in the Haymarket. He would be glad if the interne,
should result in the diminution of the evils of which the
deputation complained.
Dr. HOLT Tares then addressed the Home Secretes,
and stated that he had letters from the Earl of filiaftesbnry'
and Sir Culling Esirdley, regretting that they could nu;
accompany the deputation, but exporting their cox:.
retire in the efforts now being made to abate the evil' in
and srouod the Haymarket. Dr. Yates then read a mina
rial numerously signed, which set forth the great pren
knee of prostitution in the Haymarket end the wroth*
thoroughfares, and in Marylebone and Islington. Be
prostitution the memorialists attributed to the great
number of brothels, gin pekoes, oyster-rooms, Ti'
freshment-houses, low dancing and comenrooms, and
casinos in the various localities. The memorial

ware closed. It was suggested that it would beladvinble
to compel the proprietors of public houses and refreshment
rooms to close their houses between the hours of one and
four, or one and five io the morning. If the present Lin
were not sufficient to secure that result the memortidne
prayed the government to introduce a bill which would •

mitigate them. Dr. Yates then said the chipolata
represented all denominations of the community. I;
would have been easy to have procured the aignatim
of thousands of persons in the districts he bad
mentioned. A feeling had been exhibited in the minds"
the public, that the time was come when something mac
be done to do away with a public scandal and a great shim
to the nation.
Sir G. GREY remarked that in the memorial, it vu
stated that the evils were unrestrained of which they coa
plaiDed. Did the memorialists mean that the evil was sat,
restrained in the streets or in the houses
A number of voices—ln both.
The Beer. G. DAVIS stated that he and other' hid
visited the refreshment houses which were so mid
complained of. He believed these houses was a
the increase. The reverend gentleman having desened
some of the dancing rooms he had visite4 said is
bad afterwards gone to the Haymarket, where he bad wee
crowds of women who had left the casinos and cocoon
rooms. These women were soliciting passenger'. its
speaker afterwards went into several of the oight-house
where he found more prostitutes, who accosted avenge:.
Gomm who came in.
Sir G. GREY said there was no doubt about the evil, Id
the question was bow far the present laws were applicsine
to the case, and what new laws it would be neeethry
pass in order that the mil might be met. With regard
the closing of houses, as the deputation suggested, the
would require a modification of the existing law. .As
garded the houses that were brothels, the existing law oong
deal with them, and he would like to know what steps brat
been taken to put those laws iu force.
A member of the deputation said the holders of en
min houses evaded the law by Dot taking out a license.
Mr. CL,tais, of Jerniyoetreet said lie was engaged le
the parish authorities in prosecuting the brothel-keeper
The result was, that several of the brothels had been did

sir G. GUT said as regarded the houses that took m
licesams, their excuse, when tbey were charged with ballotsliosease,
thigproditates, was that they did not know it. There was a
deuM they did know it. He had in one case instituted pro-
eseengs, and a conviction had followed. That coovictie
had, however, been appealed against, and the case was Ai
before the Court of Queen's Bauch.
The Hoe. Gro. Sian said he had, as a magistrate, refuel
license in severed instances, but the magistrates on

bench at Clerkenwell sessions bad afterwards granted then.

After some conversation, in which Mr. S. Moan anl
others took part,
Sir G. GagY mid the difficulty was that they mill ,n!!

public feeling would never allow the introduction into lzs

submit to some inconveniences.
Dr. YATES said the refreshment houses that took se: i
license and had no shop were the wont.
Sir G. Geer said that a conviction had been oblaln4
against the keeper of one of these booms, and if thato'c,
