THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

TH D.
The road from Par(k-lanelS to the entrance at the south
transept of the Crystal Palace presented this morning
more the appearance of Sutton-corner on a Derby day than
anything else to which we can compare it. Carriages,
cabs,orunibuses and carts of every sort, mixed up in a eon-
fused mass, and scarcely`proceeding at any greater speed
than a mere walk, filled the entire road in
two great currents, one side proceeding towards the
Crystal Palace, every vehicle being filled with
gaily attired visitors, and on the other aide
streams of vehicles almost as numerous, returning empty
to find fresh ;cede. Pedestrians, too, might be observed
in great numbers, though the majority of these pre'
ferred the green award of the park to the hot baking
flagstones of the more exposed road. On 13°
morning since the Ist of May do we remember
having observed such numbers hurrying at so early an
hour, and on reaching the Crystal Palace we found and
the number of visitors who had passed greatly ex'
ceeded any of the shilling days, and from ten to
twelve the building was quite as crowded as it
ever has been between these hours on any
morning since its first opening. 13,337 persons
had passed in at eleven o'clock; in the next hour 13,812
entered; and at one o'clock the crowd bad been in;
creased by 8,574, making in all 35,723 who had passed
into the building in the first three hours. About 37,000
passed during the whole of yesterday; and as we re'
marked then, no doubt the increase will go steadili
on each day until the expected 60,000 is reached.
Though numbers of persons were to be
seen in almost every department, we did
not remark that, except in the Italian sculpture room,
there was any appearance of over-crowding, and area
there, by mingling with the stream and passing steadill
on, no inconvenience was suffered. The arrangement.
which had been made to keep the visitors moving in one
uniform direction havo been for the present abandoned,
except at such points where great crowds may be ex"
pected to congregate, such as at Hunt and Roskelrs
display, and at the case containing the Queen of
Spain's diamonds. The galleries are, perhaps, ltS
present the least frequented, because most per-
sons do not care to penetrate there until
they have explored every part of the ground floor.
The Austrian rooms are as crowded as ever, though we
noticed that the fountain of Eau de Cologne has
ceased playing while the shilling visitors are ad-
mitted. This is also the case with the fountains in the
south gallery, with the exception of Mr. E. Rimmers
fountain, which still continues to send up its tiny stream
of distilled toilette vinegar to all descriptions of persons.
Her Majesty visited this department on Tuesday morning,
and was highly delighted will the perfumed bouquets
exhibited by Mr. Rimmel, each flower of which sends
forth the scent of tho natural flower which it represents.
When we left we still met numbers of visitors on their
way to the Palace, and we have no doubt that to-day
will be feund to be ono of the most crowded which
the Exhibition as yet experienced. It will be
satisfactory to know that net the least ground for appro.
hension exists either of inconvenience or danger, and
we heard one of the executive confidently remark that
the building woull conveniently hold twice as many, if
they would be only kind enough to come. •

" FARE IS FOUL," ORTTIIE CABMAN'S

And put the party down,
At Ide Park Crystial Pallis Gati

,

Expectin' art-a-crown.
The sum of von-and-fopence
Is all I could hubtain,
Accordin' to the scale of fares
Laid down by Richard Mayne.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, shabby Richard Mayne,
If I could drive you where I chose, you'd never ride,
again!
'Tis only two-and-eightpenee All from that blessed Bank; ~ „
Vy 'taint enough to pay a cove 3
For leavin' hof his rank!
And one-and-eight's the Cabman's 'ire,
For witch we're bound to go
From the Bazaar, in Baker-street,
Pangtheon, or So-oh.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &o.
The fare from the Mu-seum •
Was a good six ahillin' job;
But here they've bin and cut it down,
And now it is two bob!
From the Thames Tunnel 'twas a ride
Of full nine bob, or more, •
Witch Mayne's New Tariff have redoceed
As low as four-and•four.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &c.
For the Great Western Railway
Two shillin' is the touch,
Vilst five-and-six, I will maintain, . . .
Is not a brown too much.
From Bow-street, Covin-garding, too,
Vich neighbourwoed I 'ate,
The fare, as vos a crown afore,
Is lower'd to one-and-height.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &c.
Then, there's a certain building,
Whereof' I 'ave heer'd tell,
The House of whatsiname—the Jug—
Out
there by Clerkenwell.
I can't quite say I knows the spot, •
_
_
But surely 'tis a shame
That only two.and-eight should be
The ticket from the same.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &a.
It is two shillins only
From Cre-morne and Woxhall;
It used to be twice that, at least—
And not too dear at all.
'Tis two-and-four from Drury Lane;
Three from the Surrey Zoo';
This is what that there Mr. Mayne
Has been and brought us to!
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &c.
Suppose a party 'ails you,
Vilst you are on your stand,
You must obey his beck and call,
And come at hie command;
The penalty is forty bob
In case )OU should refuse,
Vich you must pay, or go to quod,
Accordin' as )ou choose.
Oh, crud Richard Mayne, &c.
Your fare, when you are offered,
And axes what it's for?
You may he let in for three pound,
Or else two months by lawr.
This here's insultin' languidge;
So take care whet you hay;
And if) ou are a little fresh,
You've got the same to pay.
Oh, crud Richard Mayne, &c.
The Crusher at your standing
Your umpire is to be,
With any party, as to terms,
If you should disagree.
'Twill be no use to try it on;
For my part, I despair
Of screwing out one tanner more
Than is our legal fare.
