4. Visitors. 



The number of Visitors to the Gardens during the 

 year 1841 was 132,616, of whom 39,425 were privileged, 

 and 93,191 unprivileged, being a decrease of 9895 in the 

 former class, and an increase of 1502 in the latter, as 

 compai'ed with the previous year. This increase of 

 paying visitors, small as it is, affords a satisfactory proof 

 that the attractions at the Gardens still continue to en- 

 gage public curiosity ; and it is hoped that more favour- 

 able seasons than we have latterly been accustomed to, 

 and the extensive improvements now under contemplation, 

 will still further increase the attractiveness of the exhi- 

 bition and the number of visitors.

 portant duties of their respective Departments.
