In order £0 keep up the excitement, the theatres and other places of amusement are daily pasting on the walls of the city, large bills, by which they try to entice strangers to give them the preference of patronage. Ploasure! Pleasure! Pleasure! This shout is uni- vorsal, despite politics, for which no one seems to care. Alas! We, of the careless world, do not ask about tomorrow, and here is, perhaps, the abyss. However, before politics can overtake us, we may boast of having had rain ahd hail, and enough of both. In the departments of La Nievre, the Mo- | vello, Charente, Oise, Pas de Calais, and many cthors, disasters have been so numerous, that it is painful to read the accounts published in the news- papers. The harvestshave been ruined, the tre of every orchard cut, as if with the axe, and the rivers bave been so much swollen, that in most places they have swept away a large quantity of | cattle.

But it was not entirely left to routine, and line-and-rule builders to decide the matter; many great persons, who were not biassed by pro- fessional habits, were pleased with the idea; the Duke of Devonshire joined his powerful recommenda- tions to the others, @nd the idea triumphed, and Mr. Paxton triumphed with it. - Such is # sketou of the career of a man of genius; such is the origia of the Crystal Palace. " Lonpon, July 29, 1851. White Bait Dinners--Mr. Salomons-- 4 Double Farce—A Poor Prisoner—The Ship Owners and Navigation Laws—A Great Revolution in Trade expected om the Coast by the Railroads, &c. Parliament will adjourn in the course of a few days; indeed, the members are already beginning to disappear. The ministerial white bait dinner, at Greenwich, comes of on the 2d prox., and that ig | generally the signal for the parliamentary holidays. The white bait is a delicate fish, which, it is said, can only be eaten to perfection at Greenwich, where it is cooked immediately on its coming out of the water, and put, within a few minutes, out of their own element upon the plates cf the ministers, with a suitable accompaniment of fat and eauce. This custom is of some years standing. ‘The decision in the case of Mr. Salomons gives great dissatisfaction. It will be brought before the courts in Westminster Hall. The ablo legal argu- ment in the House, by Mr. Bethell, a distinguished lawyer, has excited sensations and led to the con- viction that Mr. S. has a right to sit, and ought to be admitted. Three more new Roman Catholic Bishops, with high territorial English titles, have been solemaly aut publicly consecrated in England, since the passing of the Anti-Pope bill by the Lords, plainly showing that that law has only been made to be aughed at. It is indeed a farse—all is a farce. ‘he Pope is now virtually, to all intents and }, & prisoner a; Rome, being watched in all | Bis movements, and defeated in all his plans of escape. The French General took great care of | him while he was away at his country villa, and brought him safely back again. Thus, for the resent, the great coup de mum, his retirement to Gis, and all the rest of the plan, is rendered | abortive. What can a prisoner do but submit ? | The mystery of the whole affair, however, is, whi can the French * abera to themselves? What hi | they to gain but, as Father Ritchie says, ‘‘ nous verrons.” The question of the repeal of the navigation laws, | and the complaints of the shipowners of the 1ajury done to their interests by that repeal, is a topic of manent excitement, involving many and ee interests on both sides. The shipowners are alar; their policy? No one can te not in such a prosperous and flourishing condition as they once were. The English coasting trade especially has been, within the last few years, seri- ously injured; but though the sae is raised against the repeal of the navigation laws, as the | cause of ruin to the shipping interest, that measure | is undoubtedly innocent, in this respect, of all that near the place where the disaster hag taken | JOUmey were already made, and she could not delay , and if we are willing to be charitable and to | * *g'¢ day. peed a al Aa Boolp the wuferers, it must be with this condition, | J.

West End. As the adjournment of Parliament draws nearer, the great world is gradually leaning for the country and the watering places. Yet, the “World's Fair” continues to be an undiminished attraction, and the crowds which daily flock to it are undiminished innumber. These crowds consist not mercly of those who go inside the building, but the gatherings of all kinds and classes outside, which is so great in the vicinity that it looks (to compare great things with small) like bees swarming. I observed, in a former letter, that the Crystal Palace looks for all the world exactly like aconservatory | ina gentleman’s garden, or a hot-house, and in The history of Mr. Paxtoa, the designer of the building, and first proposer of He is a work- ing gardener by profession, and is now about 50 years of age. He was in the employ of the Dake of Devonshire, and superimendant of his hot-houses and conservatories at Chatsworth, a celebrated villa and estate belonging to the Devonshire family, in Derbyshire. One idea often makes a man’s for- tune; this one idea of his, to construct a huge con servatory, has suddenly raised Mr. Paxton to fame and notoriety. He is fetéd everywhere, and invited, asa lion, toevery society. The building itself is often called the “Paxton Palace.” Of course, such sudden honors and the increase of so much applause and admiration, have had their na- tural effect upon the mind of Mr. Paxton; and he deems the ach'evement of his one idea, and the mag- nitude of the huge hot-house, to be one of the great- est exploits aver arcomplished by man. So it isin one sense. You have seen glass shades placed uver tender plants in a garden; well, this is one of them, | only it is beyond dispute the greatest glass shade or bell that ever was made iu the world.

[From tae Manchester Guardian.) The accounts from India, by the present mail, bring us pews of great importance to the commerce of that part of the British .

Hitherto all the trade that we have carried on, even with our own pro- vinces, in the north-west, including the Panjaub, bas been Caleutta, involving a p inland navigation against a strong cnrreah land carriage of more than 900 miles, to and thence to the Punjaub, also by land.
