ADMISSION TO THE GLASS PALACE.

assassenuat would seam to be that they should pay for •
Mktg who see it. Mr. Penton, however, proposes that the

Exhibition shall pay. in the dope of time, for the free ad.
mission of those who aro more fortunate. Been if this
itheardity (and something worse) were not iovvieed in the
priacipl• of a misitterie greet, It would yet have to be
remembered that the promoters of the scheme are pledged
over end over again not to go to the minister for aid—that
the scheme is ementielly a self.eupporting and anti-patronage
scheme. Bat the greatest objection remains behind, and it
le one so huge that we know not how any one henna had

.degree called to the arrangements for
the monster Exhibition can have overlooked it. Bye mot
curious infelicity, Me. Pexton'e plan seems actually as if it had
been deeind expreoly to multiply filtv.tuld that which is its
simplest proportions is the great difficulty against which
Me executive have to contend. Some millions at persons u•

kept open a certaia numb rof months. The groat problem
is, to distribute the whole of these numben over the whole

high rate of charge at first—it should be very high to effect
all its objecte—varyiug through a gradually descending
soak down to the low. point at which it shall be toned
possible hereafter to admit the people—is a machinery so
admirably adapted to divide the pressure, and to pot the
overwhelming numbers in relation with the whole
available time. rather than with any limited part
of it, that it muse, we think, have been expressly
in-
eeaeed for the popes', even if there had been no need
