However, before politics can overtake us, we may boast of having bad rain and bail, and enough of both.

Skutch of the Career of a Man of Genius—A Brief Account of Mr. Paxton, and the Origin of the Crystal Palace. There is a luil in politics, anda temporary cessa- tion of bustle and stir in fashionable life at the 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 undiminished attraction, and the crowds which daily flock to it are undiminished innumber. These crowds consist not merely 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 ewarming. I observed, in a former letter, that the Crystal Palace looks for all the world exactly like a conservatory in gentleman’s garden, or a hot-house, and in fact itisnothing more. The history of Mr. Paxton, the designer of the building, and first proposer of the plan, is interesting and curious. He is a work- ing gardener by profession, and is now about 50 yearsof age. He was in the employ of the Dake of Devonshire, and superimtendant of his hot-houses and conservatories at Chatsworth, a celebrated villa and estate belonging to the Devonshire family, in Derbyshire. One idea often makes man’s for- tune; this one idea of his, to construct a huge con servatory, has suddenly raised Mr. Paxton to fame and notoriety. Ho is fetéd everywhere, and javited, asa lion, to every 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 ever accomplished by man. So it is in one sense. You have seen glass shades placed over tender plants in a garden; well, t only it is beyond dispute the greatest giass shade ell that ever was made in the world i T, to Mr. Paxton, to say that he bears ell, and his demeanor and deportment in private society, as I have had opportunities of witnessing, are those of a perfect gentieman. There ia something of the Yankee in the history of the career of Mr. Paxton, and in the ease and facility with which be adapts himself to the high position to whioh be has fortuitously been raised. For it isa characteristic especially appertaining tothe Amo- rican, to bear either poverty or wealth with eqaal sang fro nd equanimity—an American feels taat | he bas aright to live, if he is ever so poor, and does not forget the rights of others if he is ever so rich. Mr. Paxton was a poor boy, born ia the humblest rank of life; but beiag nacuraily shrewd and intelligent, he early acquired by industrious application a decent education, to which he | atverwards added the stores’ of knowledge which reading, observation, and reflection caa Not many years ago he was working as a poor day-laborer, fur a large market gardener in the countr, it the humble wages of aweck. How often it happens, in individual thatanevent which appears to us, and per alone accum bape is, at the time, the very height of misfortune, turns out to be the very thing which afterwards leads to adv ement and prosperity. So it hay r. Paxton in his lowly condition.

Not so Mr. Paxton; like » man of geniur, he pushed forward his idea; he developed it in all its | poral He convinced all who heard him that a glass palace would be a grand and splen- did ipictnns: At first, his idea was coldly received at headquarters; every builder, architect and ongi- neer was against it; it was altogether opposed to all their habitual notions of ssientific and architectural propriety. These all, with their friends, a1 hy re in power inthe royal commission, opposed ea. But it was not entirely left to routine, and line-and-rule baiidens to fonts the sone many great persons, who were not bi: y pro- foesisnal batts, 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 a sketoh of the career of a man of genius; such ia the origin 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 on 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 off on the 2d prox., and that is 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 euitable accompaniment of fat and sauce. 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 able legal argu- ment in the House, by Mr. Bothell, a distinguished lawyer, has excited senzations 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 solemnly sealealag Atreurlavr ied pa of the Anti-Pope ie 5 ly ovis that that law has only been to be hed at. It is indeed a farse—all is a farce. ie Pope is now virtually, to all intents and pyrene. a prisoner at Rome, being watched in all movements, and defeated in all his plans of | escape. The French General took great care of him while he was away at his count villa, an brought him safely back again. Thus, for the resent, the coup de mam, his retirement to aeta, 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, what can the French pronote to thomselves ? What have they to gain their policy? No one can tell; but, as Father Ritchie sa; ‘nous verrons.”” ‘The question of the repeal of the navigation laws, and the complaints of the et piers) the injury done to their interests by that repeal, is a topic of manent excitement, involving many and great interests on both 4 shipowners are alarge influential class, and there is no doubt they are not in such a prosperous and flourishing condition as they once were.

It owes its origin to the plague of 1575, by which Venice lost 40,000 of her citizens, and to a vow of Moncenigo, the Doge, after solemn mass in St. Marks, to fouad and dedi- cate, in the name of the republic, a church in honor ofthe Redeemer; Ld it susnpsnonaly, and to perform a yearly pi age toit on the annual re- turn of the day when Venice should be redeomed from her awful scourge. From that hour, the plague began to cease; and te the closed, Palladio was ongaged to erect, on the island of Giudecoa, the lid church of the Redentore, oe riage to which has every year, ever since, been observed on the appointed day. For the convenience of pil- grims to this ebrine, s empereey, bridge of boats annually connects the two banks of the Grand Ca- and also those of the Giudecca; and from the eve of the 19th of July to the of the 2lat, these bridges literally swarm with passengers. Bat, al- though the festival still retains a pretence of re- ligion, its only warrant to that claim is a pompous mass the church of the fore. The pleasure-loving Venetians have made it one of the gayest and most splendid of their fetes. To give a sketch of it would engross too much space. I willonly say, then, that the celebration commenced at nine o'clock, on the eve- ning of the 19th, when the vast multitude which | been listening to the exquisi‘e melodies of the Austrian bands in St. Mark’s Place, poured itself | out into gondolas at the Molo, and accompanied | by m sion up the broad Giudecea under a roar artil- | usic and illuminations, moved off ge 3 | o their adventures the history of the week.
