Much of our space is again necessarily occupied Yeduy with the account of the Presidential pro- gress to this city, the preparations for his reception, the arrangements for the opening of the Crystal Palace, &c. The demonstrations of euthasiastic Spprobation among the people in Maryland, Dela- ware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, along the line @i tLe Liesiuents route, are well calculated to re- mind one of the by-gone times of General Jackson. The speeches delivered by General Pierce, Hon. James Buchanan, and the members of the Cabinet, which we give to-day, will command universal at- teution. Read them early in order to be ready to Participate in the grand jubilee in this city to-day. ‘The Arabia, from Liverpool, arrived at this port yesterday forenoon, bringing European advices down ‘to the 2d inst., together with a summary of the la test intelligence which had been received in Eng- land from China, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope. Lord John Ruseell had notified the English House ef Commons of his intention to move for a commit- twe to inquire into the observance or non-observance ef the various slave trade treaties upon the part of the governments of Spain and Portugal. The royal assent bad been given to the Income Tax bill, and the grievances of India engaged the attention of Queen Victoria’s cabinet. France remained perfectly tranquil, although the Grops were in a very critical condition. The Emperor Ind signified his intention of extending the liberty ot the press. After the final rejection of the Russian wtimatissi- mem by the Sultan, the residuary diplomat of the Czar had left Constantinople. ‘The latest Parisian report was to the effect that the tro: ps of Nicholas tad crossed the Pruth; but a thoreu_h cou parison of cates led to the belief that Buch could not be the case. One thing was certain, that the Eastern question bad not been settled. ‘the English and French fleets had reached Besika Bay. The Queen of Spain had appointed Senor Luis Gonzales bravo as her minister at Washington. ‘The accounts of the calamities said to have fallen on Persia are confirmed. The Internuncio of Austria had a mest gratifying interview with the Sultan, and hopes of a pacific solution of the Eastern question were looked for as the result. The general news is of a varied and interesting character. Its details will be found elsewhere. News from Havana to the 3d inst. coafirms the re port of the insurrection among the Cuinese Coolies on one of the interior plautations. The statement that several more ca: goes of negrves had been landed is also confirmed. Tuose engaged in the slave trade are determined to fill their coffers during the ab- seuce of the British squadron to the fishery regions, desp te the apparent demonstrations of opposition made to he nefarious business by some of the Span: ish offcials. ‘tux payers will regret to observe that another day Was ileraliy wasted by the merabers of our State Legislature yesterday. The Committee of Conter- ence, however, reported that there was no necessity fer the Assembly to remain in session during the progress of the Mather impeachment trial, to woich report it is most sincesely hoped the latter body will agree. Indeed, a propo-ition was made that the finul adjournment should take place next Monday; and with the apparent design of closing up the bvoks, it Was declared inexpedient to attend the Crystal Palace opening. But the people have become accastomed to these manceuvres—consequently few will be aston- isied to learn that the Assembly in the afternoon re solved to adjourn till Friday, ia order that the mem- bers might come to this city and participate in the ceremonies of the Crystal Palace opening. fteme rather curious conversation took place in the Senate while the bill makiay appropriations for the pay of persons in the service of the State was under consideration. It was hoped that the appro- priation for the legislators, during the extra session, would not be stricken out, for the reason that most of the Assemblymen had already drawn their pay— some of them for holidays and all. The Sap- ply bill is represented as having been dis- cussed with as much deliberation as though the session was to la-ta hundred days longer. To wards the close 0: the proceedings the bill was re ported te the Senate, whereupon Mr. Cooley made an unsuccessful effort to add the sum of twenty five thousand dollars for the New York volunteers. The Assembly, during the forenoon, was engaged apon the bills relative to Courts of Impeachment, Canal Disbursements, Revenue Certificates, dc. A despatch frou Washington declares that in- formation las been received which leaves very little @ovbt that the mission to England will be declined by Mr. Buchunan. General Rusk’s expedition to select a route for the pr posed ruilroud to the Pacific was still at El Paso St ist aconunts. Beme of the opivion that the El Paso route possesses overwhelm ing advantages. ‘The Coroner's Jury on the victims of the Gavagzi sicts in Montreal bave at ieagth render their verdic The Protestant portion of the jary Ceciare thot the orders .iven by the Mayor to th troops to fire were unnecessary and unjustifiable abo The Cutholies say nothing elare thut the order to fire wa the Mayor, but de- given by some person usknowa.

Tmavguration of the Crystal Palace. | This day is one to be well remembered by ; Americans. It may be—indeed. it is more than | probable—that world’s fairs will hereafter be- | come so commonplace that their occurrence will excite little attention and attract but few foreign visiters. A time may come when the i almanacs will announce trials of strength be- ; tween the manufacturers and craftsmen of the | werld for each month in the year. Each coun- ; try will have its regular season. Paris. Vienna, New York, London, St. Petersburg. Madrid, Berlin, Stockholm. Lisbon, will all have their aanuul! fair; and the event will create as small } a stir as a country fair or an agricultural show of the present day. But, however general the practice may be- come, its introduction into America will never cease to be regarded as an era in our history. It will be spoken of with pride when “the star of empire” shall have fairly reached ‘the West * and New York shall be styled. by uni- | versal consent, the capital of the civilized world. Chroniclers of that day, exhausting | their descriptive powers on a world’s fair of | unusual magnificence, will compile from our records a historical sketch of the ceremonies we shall witness a few hours hence, and it may be | that the most interesting portion of their | performance will be that which relates to the first world’s fair that was ever held in America. They will not fail to notice that the United States. at the early age | of seventy-seven years. were the first to imi- tate the example of Great Britain, in in- viting the whole world to exhibit products of industry and art. They will lay peculiar stress on the fact that, while the prototype of our ex- hibition was originally and entirely a State concern. the first world’s fair of New York was planned and wholly executed by a private as- sociation of enterprising men. They may pos- sibly allude to the difficulties of the design—to the obstacles which the originators had to en- counter—to the disappointment and delays which threw discouragement on the work—to the jealous cavils to which unavoidable acci- dents guve birth—and while they explain that the retusal of the State to become the first exhi- bitor of the country was due, not to any scru- ples with respect to the propriety of the world’s fair, but to the stringent rules imposed by the constitution, they will probably add that the highest officers of State vied with each other in testifying, so far as the laws allowed, to the deep interest they took in the project, and that their personel sympathy, not less than the emi- nently national character of the undertaking, removed it far out of the pale of private enter- prises. Whether we regard the future or the past the occasion is equally memorable. Since history began the various members of the hu- man family have never been gathered together Jor so laudable a purpose as that which summons them to New York to-day. We read of vast concourses in ancient times to witness chariot races and feats of barbarous strength, We hear of knightly tournaments, where thou- sands upon thousands assembled to witness men run against each other with long poles and knock each other about the hcad with wooden swords. We have authentic accounts of the meeting of illustrious princes, where money was thrown in handfuls to the ob- sequious crowd, and myriads ot iguorant ple- beians thronged the presence of the hero-king. We know too well what was the character of those mighty hosts whose blood has stained the world’s annals from time to time, and whose en- counter was the signal for letting loose the worst passions of mankind. The thousands who will assemble to-day expect no such spec- tacle. They neither anticipate rude contests of brute force, nor skilled encounters of brute cunning, nor fawning homage to titled poten- tates, nor the savage din and turmoil of war. ‘they go to witness peaceful triumphs intellec- tual conflicts, and brilliant victories of man over matter. Ancient assemblies were con- voked to do honor to nobles and hereditary heroes. The crowd of to-day gathers to pay tribute to the plebeian—to the man of skill, of talent, of enterprise—to the self-made hero. Birth nor fame weigh a feather in the scale. Godlike intellect—more often found among the poor than the rich. the lowly than the proud— alone bears off the palm. To-day’s ceremony is essentially a celebration of the people’s glory. All honor to those who planned it! Latest on the Turkish Question—Warlike Aspece of Affulrs. There can be no doubt now that the Turkish question has come to @ crisis—the crisis of peace or war. Count Nesselrode. in his dicta- torial letter to Reschid Pacha, says that the decisive moment has arrived, and that the Turk must sign the Czar’s ultimatum, which ig his original demand. or abide the consequences The Turk had refused. and the Czar, on being in- formed of it. is reported as having acted in the true spirit of a man accustomed to absolute power and regarding himself as the arbiter of Europe. The Paris Presse says that the Emperor had made a personal declaration to the English aud French ambassadors, to the effect “ that ihe destruction or his fleets should not prevent him from invading Turkey and obtaining the reparation which he believed to be his due.” This reparation simply amounts to this: that Nicholas is resolved to be the so- vereign of the communicants of the Greek Church in the Turkish Empire, at the hazard of a war with Eugland. France and Turkey combined. The coucessioa demanded of the Sultan he has unquestionably, for suifi- cient cause, refused, in the teeth of an army scattered along his northern frontier, of half a million of Kussians, though they may be as fanatical as the areient crusaders tn support of the sacred Church of which tha Emperor is We say tht Sultan has properly rctuscd the demand of the Ozar. be- n would be equivalent to ti tering cf an army of tor wr ify thousand sholas throughout A the the annointed head. canse tts co: emissaries and soldier Turkish domiud protection of cousent an) And thi Medjid «ou the terms dictated from under tL vw Sultan. of the refucal of Abdul s the groun to purchase @ poe St. Petersburg. The Emperor is reputed to be ia a eonditios of extraordinary excivement for suc ian as Nicholas. who ordinarily directs the movement adores and his arwies with the coolness of invincible power. And weil bh may be unduly agitated; for while his janatioal barbarians expect a war, and will be disappointed if they are aot let loose upon the march to Stamboul, wie Sultan’s allies of France and England may suggest, not only the destruction of the Russian fleets of the Black Sea and the adjoining waters, but the possibili- ty of the movement of Louis Napoleon with a of his amba: French army across the Rhine, the rising of the Italians, the Hungarians and the Poles and the bombardment of St. Petersburg itself by the combined French and English naval forces. The terrible work at Navarino. when England was on the other side, on the one hand, and the revolutionary movements of 1848 on the other, are strongly suggestive of a combination of movements which might well perplex the great Napoleon himself were he now in the position of the proud and imperious Nicholas. It is manifest that France will play no secondary part in the event of the collision which is so fearfully impending between Russia and Turkey. The representative of the Empire and the glorious achievements of his uncle. Louis Napoleon is clearly impressed with the same ideas of “ manifest destiny” and of the expectations of the French army and the French people. He has also exhibited, to a re- markable extent, the same sagacity in his plans of action, and the same decision and energy in carrying them out, as the Little Corporal. The prompt discharge of the Admiral ofthe French tleet of the Mediterranean for failing to be up at the Bosphorus in time with the British squadron plainly foreshadows something of in- trepidity on the part of the French Emperor in case the Russians cross the Turkish Rubicon. The latest intelligence, that this had not yet been done. had given. as it appears, a tempo- rary advance to the French funds; and, taking the Bourse as the interpreter of this Turkish question, there is yet a loophole for a com- | promise between the Czar and the Sultan Renewed efforts on all sides will doubtless be made to effect it; but, in the meantime, the quarrel has been pushed to that extremity in which it is easier to plunge forward than to re- cede. The Turke and the Russians are mutually inflamed to the fighting point. and at such a crisis, while a single spark may light up all Europe in a general blaze of war, the arguments of prudence and sound discretion are too apt to be thrown away on both sides. There may yet be a pacific settlement or truce on this politico- religious issue between the Turk and the Rus- sian; but it would scarcely be surprising if the next steamer should bring us the intelligence of a general movement of the Russian forces across the Turkish boundaries. The issues involved comprehend the ultimatum of peace or war for the whole continent ef Europe. Tue Preswent’s DinNeR AT THE METROPO- uitan—A Worp or Caution To THE Harp SneEis.—The Managers of the Crystal Palace have made «heir arrangements for a splendid dinner to the President of the United States, to-morrow evening, and covers are ordered for six hundred guests. No doubt it will be a splendid affair in every particular, and a very harmonious reunion of men of all parties, from beginning to end. For fear, however, of accidents, we seize this timely occasion for a word of caution to the hard shells—the National Union Compromise democrats—the men of the Old Guard of the democratic party. They have our sympathy and our commiseration; we know they are sorely disappointed and somewhat indignant concerning the distribution of the public plun- der. and that it will be hard to restrain them from a public hint to the President of their dis- pleasure on the very first opportunity. Bat we caution—yea. we conjure the hard shells to re- member that there is a time for everything, and that this Presidential dinner will not be the time for stirring up a disturbance in the family. It will be exceedingly mal apropos. Only think of the strangers—the distinguished foreigners—the well-meaning whigs—who will be present—and in their presence, geutlemen of the bard shell party, show a proper degree of re- spect for them and respect for yourselves. Have some compassion. also, for the President, and don’t touch the subject of the spoils while enjoying the feast of luxuries which will be spread before you. Remember that this is a dinner in behalt of the Crystal Palace—that all matters relating to the world’s industry will be germain to the cecasion, And what a field for splendid speak- ing is here presented. The progress of industry in all its diversified departments, from the time of Adam down to the present day. is indeed an inexhaustible theme. The arts and sciences among the Jews, the Egyptians. the Persians, the Greeks. the Romans, and so on, ad infini- tum, and the commerce of Tyre, of the cara- vans of Asia, of the ships of Solomon, of Venice, of Holland, of England, of the United States, of New York, will all be in order. Cav lifornia and Australia may also be discussed, together with that grand project of the Pacific Railroad and lines of connecting steamers be- tween San Francisco and the tremendous com- merce and industrial resources of mighty A ‘ia. Crystal Palaces of all sorts and sizes, and every variety of industrial exhibitions, from a collec- tion of the world’s industry to Donnybrook Fair, will be in order. and may be debated to the pleasure and edification of the whole com- pany. In fact, with a reservation of prudence, the Cuha question, the fishery question, the Mesilla Valley question, the affairs of Central America, the Monroe doctrine. and manifest destiny. may be touched upon; but let our friends the hard shells, beware of touching the following subjects. for they are interdicted :— First, there is the distribution of the spoils. Remember, at this Crystal Palace dinner, to let that pass; and don’t say anything about the Baltimore platform. or the Buffalo platform, or the Buffalo Republic, or the New York Evening Post, or Martin Van Buren, or the Southera se- ecssionists, or Northern abolitionists, or the corporal’s guard of Captain Joha Tyler, or free coil, or Edmund Burke, or the late proceeding» in the Assembly on Taylor’s compromise reso lutions, or the “artful dodgers” of the fugitive slave law, or Mr. Maurice’s letter, or anyt of that sort.

Seven of the Presidents of the United States have received public receptions in this city previous te the honors to be awarded to President Pierce this day, viz.:—Washington, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, Polk, and Fillmore. When General Washington was elected President, in 1789, 0n being officially notified by Congress of his election he repaired to New York, where Con- gress was then in session, and landed at Murray's wharf, at the foot of Wall street, on the 23d of April. He was received by Governor George Clinton, and conducted, with military honors, to the apartments provided for him. His quarters were attended by foreign ministers, by public bodies, by distinguished political characters, and by eminent citizens who pressed around him to express the joy which glowed in their bosoms at seeing the man in whom all con- fided at the bead of the government. This day of extravagant rejoicing was succeeded by an illumina- tion of the city. Jobn Adams also met with a public reception in this city when elected’ Vice President, in 1789, but circumstances prevented similar honors to him dur- ing bis Presidential term. He resided in Philadel- phia, then the seat of the national government, but when driven from that city by the visit of the yellow fever be passed rapidly to this city, to and f.om Quincy Massachusetts, his family country seat: He was «iso persovally unpopular during part of his administration, which prevented many attempts to show bim putlic honors. Neither Jefferson nor Madison showed any disposi- tion to visit the North during their administrations, which extended over a period of sixteen years. But in 1817 Monroe came into the Presidency, with a large popular vote in his favor, and he immediately resolved to visit the diifevent States, to see the country committed to his trust as President, apd to make himself acquainted with the people. He left Washington for a tour to the North on the 31st of May, 1817, und, after receptions at various places, arrived in New York on the morning of the 10th of June. He was received on the Battery by the Mayor, Jacob Raccliff, and the Common Council. From thence he was escorted by the military and «n immense concourse of citizens to his quarters at the Merchants’ Hotel, in Wall street. During a short stay in this city he rece'ved great attention from various public bodies, societies, and citizens generally, visiting the forts, the navy yard, and the public in- stitutions, after which he proceeded on his tour to the Eastern States. John Quincy Adams, who was familiar with Euro- pean courts, received high public honors on his return from London, in 1817, on being appointed Secretary of State by Mr. Monroe; but while Presi- dent o: the Uvited States he avoided all attempts to make himself the object of special public attention. He passed through this and other cities on his visits to Quincy, Massachusetts, asa private citizen. In the summer of 1827 he came to this city, and put up at the City Hotel, when he was called on by a few of his personal and political friends. He passed al- mst unobserved to the Providence boat on his way to Boston. He rode into Quincy on a warm Sunday afternoon, dressed in a short jacket and nankeen pantaloons, ou horseback, attended by his son John Quincy Adams, Jr., since deceased. Gen. Jackson, after his second election to the Pre- sidency, made a visit to the North, accompanied by Vice President Van Buren. He had a splendid re- ception in this city by the military and citizens, in June, 1833. He landed at Castle Garden, and was escorted to his quarters at the American Hotel, ia Broadway. After a stay of a few days, and visiting objects of interest in the city and vicinity, he pro- ceeded on his tour to the East. He returned very suddevly from bis journey, without completing it, spent a short time at the “ Rip Raps,” on Chesa- peake bay, and soon afterwards caused the deposits irom the United States Bank to be removed. Mr. Van Buren, while President, bad a public re- ception in this city in July, 1839. He was received by the Commen Council, his political friends, and the military, at Castle Garden, and was escorted to the City Hall, where the troops passed him in review. He remained in the city at Washington Hall afew days, when he departed for the North and East. Party spirit ran so high that his reception here was rather cold. Jobn Tyler was received here in the midst of his unpopularity, in June, 1843. The military display was very gratifying to him, but the citizens, except the office-holders under him, were far from being en- thusiastic. He passed on to the Bunker Hill Monu- ment celebration, which took place on the 17th of June. Inthe following year, June, 1844, Mr. Ty- ler bad a more pleasant reception in this city, his ex; edition then being a matrimonial one. Mr. Polk received the honors of the city, civil and military, on the 25th of June, 1547. He was intro- duced to the citizens at the City Hal! the day fol- lowing. His tour to the east extended as far as the State ef Maine. General Taylor made a visit to the West in the summer of 184¥, intending to visit the New York State Fair at Syracuse. Ill-health compelied him to hasten his return. He remained in this city a few hours only, took breakfast with the friends of Go- vernor Seward, and proceeded to Washiryton, via Jersey City. Mr Fillmore and his cabinet being invited to the opening of the Erie Railroad, met with the bonors of a public reception from Mayor Kingsland, the Cor- mon Council, the military, and an immense con- course of people, who received him at the Battery ou the 14th of May, 1851. The next morning the Pre- sident and cabinet departed for the West, and to attend the opening of the Erie Railroad. Talk on Change The e-nversation referred ehirfly to the foreign news by the Arabia. The priva e letters raceived, as well aa the published accounts, represented a greater probability of war between Russia and Turkey, A membur of a firm, | who came passenger in the Arsbla, stated that oa the worning of he day on which the steamer ewiled he had beld conversations with several well informed merchants, who considered that war was almost inevitable, that though the Fmperor Nicholas might sot cvnsider the reizuve of the Danubian provinces an act of war, the Turkieh government did, and tust Fraace and England would feel honed to sustain her, ‘The Kussian varne and urrocaning pretext for thus invading @ weak and fc power was like 1he woll’s peaceable intentions towards | the amb which ivcontineatly sipped from a brook nearer its fountsin than the wolf, und nothing but the interference of ahopherds, in the form of England and Frence, could save the lamb (Turkey) from the jaws of its vorarious enemy, The news wes highly favorable to bread tufts. chief paies of flour and grain were made in thi before the receipt of the Arabia's news, closing at $4 87 # $4 63, with some suratl lows Of fresh The Market State hraoly wround ot $.
