THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

A return of 26,000 before 6 o'clock yesterday
evening went far to convince the Royal oommis-
'loners that half-a-crown is the proper paying ad-
mission for the Exhibition, being equal to 66,000
shilling visitors, a number which has not yet been
reached. Twenty-six thousand looks a compara-
tively scant attendance, except on the platforms, to
which the people crowd partly for the music and
partly for the light, which in the present state of
the weather is happily not too strong anywhere in
the interior. These musical performances, which
we were the first to suggest, are now becoming, .
perhaps, too numerous—at least they require a
little better arrangement, so as not to make visitors
with sensitive ears too much to resemble the hero
of Hogarth's masterpiece in the picture gallery.
We are afraid there is no hope for the visitors
who wish to ride home from the Exhibition, unless
provincial enterprise should come to the rescue.
The commissioners, having made inquiries, have
come to the conclusion that the cab and omnibus
accommodation of the metropolis is insufficient,
and that the rise in the fares is merely a result of
the inexorable laws of 'apply and demand. The
mate opinion healmen lemma with =mud to the
river, and the quickness of appreciation as to the
law exhibited by the steam-boat companies, speaks
well for their proficiency in the ',piano° of political
economy. Perhaps Manchester might be induced
to send us up more 'busses ; and Hull, Newcastle,
and the other northern and eastern ports to
Iventure some of the scores of small steam-
boats which now lie idle in their docks,
on a London river speculation. We bp-
i Here that a river service established from one
or both sides of London-bridge would pay
immensely, and of course the Corporation, to
whom all the landing piers belong, would give every
facility to boats which started on the principle of
low fares. At present, if a working wan, accom-
panied by his wife and three children, visited the
Exhibition, his lowest cost would be—heist hire,
3s. 4d. ; admission, ss. ; refreshment, say 55. :
total, 13s. 4d., besides the loss of a day's work.
We need harly add that such an amount will
render a visit impossible to many a poor family.
A relaxation in the rules respecting omnibuses now
permits them to take up at the doors.
We understand that the Count de Meudon
(Prince 1•01118 Napoleon) is expected to visit the
Exhibition to-day.
The number of visitors yesterday was as follows :
By season tickets, 5,721 ; by payment, 21,128 ;
total, 26,849.
