TEE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION;

tterattraciim

The same mysterious law of count lion
which filled the Exhibition building on the great
Derby anniversary seemed also to be in operation
yesterday, for notwithstanding the temptation which
the race for the Ascot Cup offered to people to
leave town, the day was one of the most numinous
Exhibition attendances of the season. His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales came in the morning
and passed through several of the courts, but as
yet his Royal Highness has not commenced any
very sloes examination of their contents. M.
Rouher, the French Minister of Agriculture, visited
the western annex, accompanied by two young
ladies, his daughters, and passed a good deal of
time examining the machinery in motion. The
party were attended during their visit by Mr.
Clarke, the superintendent of the department.
Shortly after 11 o'clock an accident happented,
which, although only resulting in the destruction
of a valuable plate of glass, might have
been attended with very serious consequenites.
A porter, in passing across the western platform
with the plate in question, put it standing on the
ground for a moment to rest himself, when a young
lady who was standing near turned round sud-
denly, and her dress caught the glass, which fell
over on her, breaking into a hundred pieces. The
lady, who was slightly wounded, ran away alarmed
and bleeding, and the porter did not diminish ber
nervousness by following, and in a rather rough
manner demanding7t. for theglass. Somegentlemen,
however, interfered, and it was ruled that no claim
lay, as the glees had no right to be on the platform
after 10 o'clock in the morning.
Of the miscellaneous news of the day we may
mention that the Austrians announce that the
talking machine has not come, and is not coming.
The truth is that it never had any existence, Ate
instrument promised being a singing machine, that
is to say, a musical instrument constructed to imi-
tate the notes of the human voice in singing. Some-
thing, however, has happened to the instrument,
and it will not take its place in the present Exhi-
bition. Another item of news is, that the ticket
packages go off rapidly, and that applications are
daily made to the Commissioners to admit very large
parties, school children, and others, at reduced rates.
The Rev. Mr. Brown, whose zeal in providing in-
nocent recreation for the very poorest of his parish-
ioners in his parish of Christchurch, Blackfriars,
would organise a party of from three to six
thousand if an abatement could be made, but we

fear that at present this is impossible, and that the
consideration of such applications must be post-
poned until towards the close of the season.
It is much to be regretted that the Commissioners
have not as yet seen fit, in Father Daly's phrase, to
" take action" iu assisting the public to better
ways of getting to and from the Exhibition. The
omnibuses and cabs are quite insufficient, and the
extortions of the latter are quite unbearable. We
some time since pointed out the facilities which the
river presented to visitors from large districts of
London, and the three metropolitan counties of
Kent, Essex, and Surrey, but we regret to find
that the steamboat companies have neutralised the
advantage to the poorby doubling tbeir fares to and
from Cadogan Pier. We had heard that the Com-
missioners were about to organise a service of
express boats from Loudon-bridge, both sides, and
touching at all the intervening piers, but
the project seems to have died away,
and the public are loft to the tender mercies
of extortionists of every kind. We really
think the Commissioners are bound to see to this
matter, for there is no doubt but that in the long
run the revenues of the Exhibition will suffer
seriously from the obstructions which are permitted
to exist as between it and the public. Matters were
much better managed in 1851, when there were
omnibus lines in all directions—this time, the
whole stream of traffic has to pass through one
narrow street.
The number of visitors yesterday was as follows :
By season tickets, 4,216 ; by payment, 51,257 ;
total, 55,473.
