THREATENED DEMOLITION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

In consequence of many thousands of persons in the United Kingdom

having been unable to obtain a Copy of the GREAT EXHIBITION CHART,

printed in Colours, and presented by the Proprietors of the WEEKLY

DISPATCH, to their Subscribers and the Public, in the months of

January and February last, A RE-ISSUE has been determined upon, to

take place on SUNDAY the 16th of MAY. The Chart, which has

undergone a careful revision, shows by simple diagrams the number

of persons that visited the Exhibition daily, the amount of money

taken at the various entrances, the quantity of refreshments

consumed; the names of the Royal Commissioners; an account of the

origin of the Palace, and its dimensions in feet. In order that

every individual in the country may possess this statistical

reflex of curious and interesting results, to mark the demolition

of the building, and to serve as a memento of its existence, the

Chart will be delivered GRATIS to every Subscriber and Purchaser

of the DISPATCH on the day stated.

[Star symbol] The DISPATCH is published at 4 o'clock every

Saturday morning, in time for the First Railway Trains leaving

London, and for the Morning Mails. Early orders should be given to

any Newsvendor, in Town and Country; or to MR. R. J. WOOD, No.

139. Fleet Street.

N.B. The News Agents will have a Copy of the Chart with every

DISPATCH of May 16th.
