THE • GREAT EXHIBITION.
Her :1.0,je sty and the Royal party at the Palace were,
again at their usual early hour, visitors at the Exhibi-
tion, and e:eamined during their stay the Indian collec-
tion. Thee, ulso • minutely inspected Keith and Co.'s
trophy of silk, which occupies so conspicuous a positiou
in the naves, and is chiefly of Spitalfields' manufacture.
As the time draws nigh for the fell of price from ss. to
Is. the rush of people anxious, while yet they may, to
see the wonders of •tfte Crystal Palace in peace and
comfort, increases every day. •
Yesterday 3,797/. lls. were taken at the doors, be-
sides 1751. 7s. for season tickets, and the whole receipts
were 3,972/, 18s. In the presence of such -popularity
one cannot contemplate without some misgivings the
arrangements for the 26th, when the, charge of admis-
sion will be reduced to la. Thousands who had made up
their minds to wait and go in with the ruck, are now, at
the last moment, changing their minds and wisely re-
solving upon a little extravagance for the sake of a.
(imperatively quiet inspection of so much grandeur.
When the masses take possession of the interior, it will
be well nigh. impossible to see anything, for even at pre-
sent the difficulty is sometimes sufficiently great. They
have been waiting for more than three weeks in a
date of intense expectancy. Monday is an idle day
among them, and they will no. doubt pour in with an
impetuosity which under the circumstances is not stir-
prising. tare would therefore earnestly advise all who
have ss. to spare, and who really wish to see the greet i
spectacle of the interior well, while everything is still
fresh, and before the novelty has altogether subsided,
boldly to face the expense and to make good use of the
two days which remain before King 'nub eaters into pee-
session. They will never grudge the outlay. The corn-
puny alone aro well worth et. As for the building and
its coutects, the first impressions of wonder and delight
which they produce are beyond all price. No one ex- 1
haunts the attractions of the place; and if any person I
feels himself " used up" there, it is because the excite-
ment is too much 'for him—not because it falls short of !
his expectations. Yesterday the nave was quite a sight,
from the crowds of people who thronged it.
,They
could not tear themselves assay from that enchanting
promenadeeaud when, with walking up and down, they
were • fairly tired out, they tilled every vacant steel',
anti at last perched themselves on the edges: of the
counters, or on any other space that afforded a resting
place. The publid.will bear .in mind that on a first
visit to the Exhibitiou little or nothing can , seen
in detail of its marvellous - contents. The
„mind and
the eye hive both enough to
,do in compreliendieg the
general design and in becortaitig familiar with, the coup
d'ecil of the interior. Where the means permit and a
strong desire is felt to exautiae the collection sttediously,
that preliminary inspection should ,at least take place
befiere the masses are admitted. After the 26th there is
every reason to believe that the Crystal Palace will he

Western Railway Company °Ocala° on bringing

number. What the influx, of foreigners may be it is
