THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Fortunately for the visitors of Saturday, the price of
admission was ss. instead of Is., in consequence of which
the number was limited to 8,000 or 9,000. Had there
been 50,000 or 60,000 persons present, the heat would
have been quite insupportable, the thermometer, both
within and without doors, reaching to nearly 80 degrees,
and not a breath of air abroad. The building was In a
great measure left to take care of itself for the last two
days, most of the officials, Royal Commissioners, and exe-
cutive committee being absent at the Parisian fats.

three hours from the first attack; if the patient sur-
vives the third day there is a hope of recovery. Many
families have entirely disappeared from the world, and
others have been most fearfully reduced. One of the
