The money received for admission was £3239 195. 



The number of Visitors to the four Promenades was 

 4964, of which 3278 were privileged, and 1686 unprivi- 

 leged. 



The money received for the sale of Tickets was £286

The total number of Visitors therefore in 1847 was 

 93,546. 



But the Council have the satisfaction of stating in con- 

 clusion that, notwithstanding the extremely unfavourable 

 state of the weather for some time past, the number of 

 Visitors during the present year presents an increase of 

 997 over the corresponding period of 1847, and that be- 

 tween October and December of last year there was an 

 increase of 2253 above the corresponding period of the 

 year preceding. 



Committees of Audit, Finance, and Publication. 



The Council have once more the pleasing duty of re- 

 cording their thanks to the Committees of Audit, Finance, 

 and Publication, for their valuable services in discharging 

 the important business of their several departments.
