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.

A COPIOUS and CRITICAL LATIN-ENGLISH LEXICON, founded on the
larger German-Latin Lexicon of Dr. WILLIAM FREUND; with Additions
and Corrections from the Lexicons of Gesner, Facciolati, Scheller,
Georges, &c. By E. A. ANDREWS, LL.D., &c.
In reviewing this Lexicon, the _Athenæum_ says:--"The knowledge
which it conveys of the early and later Latin is not to be
gathered from ordinary Latin Dictionaries."
The _Literary Gazette_ says:--"We have examined this book with
considerable attention, and have no hesitation in saying it is the
best Dictionary of the Latin language that has appeared."
The _Spectator_ says:--"It is the best Latin Dictionary."
The _Examiner_ says:--"We never saw such a book published at such
a price."
London: SAMPSON LOW, 169. Fleet Street.
This day is published, price 1_s._, to be continued for eight months,
