THE IN7ERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

If Monday was fraught with some disappoint-
ment to the financiers of the Exhibition the returns
of yesterday will fully compensate their feelings
and their money-boxes, and raise their hopes to
even a more daring flight of anticipation as to
future prosperity than they have ever yet indulged
in. As early as eleven o'clock the number who
had entered tho building was already near upon
15,000, and though Monday's experience had shown I
too conclusively that it was not always safe to build 1
on the promise of this early return, each successive
account that was taken showed that the prognostic
was this time a reliable one, and that the day would
prove one of if not the most successful since the
opening. The one o'clock return gave out that
1,374 season ticket holders had entered, and 44,146
paying visitors, and at three o'clock the numbers
stood thus—season tickets, 2,100 ; paid, 55,359.
That the slight mitigation in the severity of the
present summer season experienced within the last
day or two has had a considerable influence in pro-
ducing this satisfactory result there can be little
doubt, and therefore it is reasonable to hope that if
the summer has yet a brighter and a better half in
store, as the weatherwise mostly affirm, the affairs
of the Cromwell-road establishment may prove quite
as flourishing at the close of the account as there is
any need to desire. One of the causes which tend
to swell the daily returns is the presence of schools
and ether aggregate bodies, who enjoy the traat of
a visit to the Exhibition through the benevolence
of others. That investing a few pounds in the pur-
chase of shilling tickets to be thus distributed is an
excellent piece of practical philanthropy is so mani-
fest to those who have watched the enjoyment and
intelligent interest with which the recipients of the
bounty are lit up, that it is almost superfluous to
exhort all who have the means of so doing to follow
an example which has already been set in so many
quarters, including the highest in the realm.
The announcement that from the Bth cf July
season tickets would be issued entitling to admis-
sion on all shilling days, at the price of 10s.
each, has occasioned no little surprise, and it is
anticipated that the season ticket-holders, some of
whom are already discontented at the abolition of
the five shilling day, will grumble still more at
this farther depreciation of the privilege they have
purchased. There is, however, this to be said in 1
favour of the measure, which is, that it addresses
itself chiefly to the inhabitants of London, a great
portion of whom have, it is very certain, un-
accountably held aloof from the Exhibition, and ,
would probably have done so until quite the fag
end of the season. The inducement of the ten-
shilling
season ticket will, in all probability, bring
these within the fold of the commissioners at a
much earlier period, and in a more advantageous
manner to their treasury.
Among the new appearances which from time to
time spring up to give a constant variety to the
Exhibition even in the eyes of the most assiduous
habitue, are some additions to the eases of Mr.
Harry Emanuel in the shape of certain presents
destined by Abdul Medjid, the late Sultan of
Turkey,._ for one of the ladies of the harem. One of
these is an oval mirror set in a most elaborate floral
border, composed of 'diamonds, rubies, emeralds,
and pearls, combined with enamelled work. These

of this most extravagant piece of furniture is not
less graceful than it is rich and dazzling. A stereo-
scopeof ivory beset with
large jewels, the com-
panion present, has no other merit than its costli-
ness, and is not likely, in any civilised country,
find a purchaser. The presence of these 'to

surprise, nor, indeed,
need it excite any alarm.
The only wonder is that it is not of more frequent
occurrence,
seeing what a rich harvest seems,
in so large a concourse, chiefly
of provin
cials and foreigners, to offer itself to the
craft, and which they would certainly reap were it
not for the übiquity and vigilance of the police.

of visitors yesterday :—By season tickets,

by payawnt, 61,311; total, 05,571. 1
