6EIZLTRE or AN ILLICIT Dl:,TlLLERT.—Yesterday
morning', Messrs. Pargeter and Elmy, the detective officers
of tbe Inland Revenue Department, effected the capture of
another illicit distillery, at ..tio. 30, Three Colt-street, Old
Ford. These officers went to the above premises, and on
approaching them, saw a man named Abbott, just leaving
the door, but as soon as he observed the officers, he left the
place in great haste, but was pursued and given into ells.
tody. On getting into the house they found a man, busily
engaged, who, upon being arrested, gave the name of john
Kimbly. He was stripped to his shirt, and had evidently
been attending to the working of a still. On entering the
back kitchen they found a copper still, very compactly
fitted up, at fuli work, with the spirits running from the
worm end. There were about 100 gallons of molasses Wash
in a state of fermentation, a quantity of prepared spirits,
and the usual distilling utensils. The premises appeared
to be without drainage, as the spent wash had been thrown
into a large hole, dug in the cellar. Upon Abbott being
confronted with Kimbly, the latter denied all knowledge of
him, and said tha:: he had only called at the house for the
police, the seizure
purpose of making some inquiry, but, unfortunately for him,
he was well known to the officers. prisoners having
been consigned to the custody of the

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
The road from Park.lane 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,
cabe,omnibuses and carts of every sort, mixed up in a con-
futed 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 side
streams of vehicles almost as numerous, returning empt/
to find fresh loads. Pedestrians, too, might be observed
in great numbers, thcugh the majority of these Pre'
ferred the green sward of the park to the hot baking
flagstones of the more exposed road. On no
morning since the Ist of May do we remember
having observed such numbers hurrying at so early en
hour, and on reaching the Crystal Palace we found that
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 en/
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 had been in-
creased by 8,574, making in all 35,723 who had passed„ into the building in the first three hours. About 37,00 passed during the whole of yesterday; and as we re-
marked
then, no doubt the hien ase will go steadily
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 rove.
there was any appearance of over-crowding, and even
there, by mingling with the stream and passing steadily
on, no inconvenience was guff,: ed. The arrangemee
which had been made to keep the visitors moving in owl
uniform direction have been for the present abandoned,
except at such points where great crowds may be ex-
pected to congregate, such as at Hunt and Roskell's
display, and at the case containing the Queen Of
Spain's diamonds. The galleries are, perhaps, at
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 do Cologne has
ceased playing while the shilling visitors are ad-
mitted. This is also the ease with the fountains in the
south gallery, with the exception of Mr. E. Rimmel'O
fountain, which still continues to send up its tiny stream
of distilled toilette vinegar to all descriptions of persona. Majesty visited this department on Tuesday morning,
and was highly delighted with the perfumed bouquets
exhibited by Mr. Rimrnel, each flower of which sends
forth the scent of the natural ft ,wer which it represents.
When we left we still met numbers of visitors on their
way to the Patice, and we have no doubt that to-day
will be found to be one of the most crowded which
the Exhibition as yet experienced. It will be
satisfactory to know that not the least ground for apps'
bension exists either of inconvenience or danger, and
we heard one of the executive confidently remark that
the building would conveniently hold twice as many, U
they would be only kind enough to come.

FARE IS FOUL," OR, THE CABMAN'S
LAMENT.
Air—" Lucy Neal."
I took up in Piccadilly,
And put the party down,
At Ide Park Crystial Pallis Gate,
Expectin' arf-a•crown.
The sum of von-and-fopence
Is all I could hobtain
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 rids
again!
'Tis only two•and-eightpence
All from that blessed Bank;
Vy 'taint enough to pay a cove
For leavin' huf 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.
On, cruel Richard Mayne, &c.
The fare from the Mu-seam
Was a good six job;
But here they've bin and cut it down,
And now it is two bob!
From the Thames Tunnel 'twas a ride
Of lull nine bob, or more,
Witch Mayne's New Tariff have redeocad
As low as tour-and four.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &o.
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, Curio •garding, too,
Vich ueighbourwoecl I 'ate,
The fare, as Toe a crown store,
Is lower'd to one-and-heigh.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &c.
Then, there's a certain building,
Whereof I 'eve heer'd
The House of wha!siname—the
Out there by Clerkenwell.
I can't quite say I knows the spot,
But surly 'us a shame
That only two and. eight should be
The ticket from the same.
Oh, cruel Richard Mayne, &e.
It is two shillins only
From Cre-morne said Woahall;
It used to be twice that, at least—
And not too dear at ell.

This is whet that there Mr. Mayne

Oh, cruel Ric;irsi Mayne, &c.
Suppose a party 'ails you,
Vilst you are on your stand,
You must obey his beck and call,
And cutee at his command;
Tho penalty is forty bob
In case you should refuse,
Vich you must pay, or go to quod,
Accordin' CA you choose.

For my part, I despair
Of screwing out one tanner more
