We spread before our multitudinous readers this morning, in all their length and breadth, the copious details «f the splendid pageant yesterday, within doors and without. on the land and on the water, in the sunshine and in the rain, in connectioa with the formal inauguration of our New York Exposition of ‘the Industry of all Nations. Two such lions as the President of the United States officially visiting the eity and our Crystal Palace together could not fuil ef making a memorable day for this metropolis. Let ‘the ample record in our columns answer to the world outside this populous island as to the fulfilment o! the most sanguine expectations of the day. ‘The visit ofthe President, and his ride through the eity with the mighty procession, civic and military, which turned out to do him honor, constituted the great feature of the day. It was the spectacle for ‘the million, while the ceremonials within the Palace ‘were necessarily limited to the eight or ten thousand that could be accommodated so as to witness the vroceedings under the magnificent dome of the building. Another outside feature of this + universal celebration worthy of attention was the prodigious run of custom of the various liquor and refreshment saloons, menageries, and raree shows of all kinds, which flank the Crystal temple Upon every side. It wasagreat day for them all for the mizhty multitude filled up all the arrange- ments, within and without, for their reception. The 14th of July henceforth will mark 2 new epoch in all the departments of industry in the United States. Crystal Palace stock is up—the experiment is a great triumph in the outset, and will be greater in the end. "We understand that it is the intention of General Pierce to remain in the city to-day. Upon his retarn 40 Washington, says a despatch from that city, he wiil accompany Mrs. Pierce to Berkley Springs. Several very important bills were yesteday passed by the State Senate, as will be seen on reference to the report under the proper head. The members o! the Assembiy were participating in the festivities of this city. A despatch from Washington gives the names of several gentlemen who have been appointed to coa sulships. Among them are three New Yorkers The bricklayers on the capitol yesterday struck for an.increase of wages. The yellow fever continued to rage with unabated virulence at Aux Cayes on the 27th ult. The excessively crowded state of our columns to- day prevents us from doing more than merely di- recting atten ion to the following :—Politival and Gossiping Letters from Paris, Africa and Quebec ; Naval Correspondence; Cvrm:munications relative to the Destiny of the Slave States aud the Working of the New Steamboat Law at the West; Obituary No- tives of Distinguished Persons; Destructive Fire at Richmond; News from Texas; Proceedings of the Boards of Aldermen aud Supervisors; Report of the trotting contests over the Centerville and Uuniou Courses yesterday; Commercial, Theatrical, Local and Miscellaneous Affairs, &c. Opening of the Exhibition of tne Industry of alt Natio The first impression produced on the minds of those among the audience present at the opening of the Exhibition, who there for the first time saw the interior of the Crystal Palace, was that of unqualified admiration of the building: itself Certainly nothing to be named in comparison with this beautiful struc- ture has ever before been seen in America. The*paciousness of the different parts of the building, notwithstanding all that has beea said to the contrary, was apparent to all, and the peculiar adaptation of the halls and gal- Jeries for the exhibition of works of art and in- dustry was at once admitted by candid observ- ers. So far as the edifice is coucerued, we hear nothing but universal satisfaction expressed and the architects may congratulate them selves to this extent upon the entire success of their part of the undertaking. The next point of notice to the beholder was the unique character of the exhibition. We have been familiar with fairs and displays of manufactures and the arts for the last tweaty- five years ; but they have been on a limited scale, and carefully restricted to the product of American industry and skill alone. The idea of inviting the manu ers anda of other nations to compete with our ow zens, in exhibiting the products of their lat and genius. seems not to have been entertaiued until the example was set us in London, at th World’s Fair of 1851. and the present exhib tion, at the Crystal Palace, is the first response here to that very liberal and worthy example The idea with many persons was that this ex hibition in New York would prove to be a dis play of the works of foreign countries, alin elusively.and that Amer’ would not atteinp to compete with manufucturers and ar the old world, a the ornamental branches o industrial pursuits, which are the most attract ive portions of an exhibition of this kind. A glance through the halls of the Crystal Palac» satisfies us that the Americans will have no reason to be ashamed of the proportion and quality of the home part of the exhibition. It must be admitted that there are some articles and collections which ought to have been ex eluded, and that too conspicuous a pce had been given to those of our home exhibitors who depend on puff and humbug; butas a whole ‘we were agreeably surprised with the extent nd variety of articles brought forward by the skill and indastry of American citizens. it bag been already stated that a large qnan- izans o tity of articles received from foreign countries the monarchical and Geapotic governments are sti]l unprepared for exhibition. The Crys | of Europe. Relying—too shrewdly—on the tal Palace must therefore grow daily in inter- est, as additions are made from day to day, for- eign and domestic. When the spacious halls — and galleries are completely occupied with the displays of manufacture and art intended for them. we have no doubt the public will be en- tirely satisfied with the exhibition, and the suc- cess of this great enterprise will be no longer a doubtful question. This first exposition in America of the in- dustry of all nations must prove the com- mencement of a new era in the history of science and the arts, The vast collection of works of genius and skill of so many of the civilized races of mankind, must have a pow- erful effect in stimulating the genius and active inte lect of our own countrymen. They will not, as heretofore, call upon Hercules for help, but, applying their own shoulders to the wheel of progress, will devise ways and means to take the first rank in the scale of intellectual na- tions, productive in the various branches 0! industry and art. ‘The character of the audience yesterday as- sembled at the Crystal Palace has never been execlled in this city for all those traits which give importance to a great public occasion. We have never seen assembled a larger portion of the intellect, wealth. and real worth of our citizens, than at this inauguration, embellish- ed, also, with a large proportion of ladies— throwing, of course, that peculiar charm over the whole appearance of the audience, which female beauty alone can impart. Not only were the wealth and fashion of the city present, but the industrious business classes; the merchant, the mechanic. the agriculturist, the professional man, and the scholar, each with a portion of their families. to participate | in and enjoy this very unique entertainment, graced as it was with the presence of the Chie? Magistrate of the nation, and other eminent citi- zens, civil and military, high in the confidence of their countrymen. and with groups of distin- guisbed strangers from both sides of the Atlantic. European Designs Against the Union. Tt isnow a rare thing fora European mail to | arrive here without bringing some fresh evi- dence of the ill-concealed designs of the govern- ments and aristocracy of Europe against our institutions and the safety of this republic. One day it is an itinerant bas-bleu, who holds conversaziones in Exeter Hall, and gathers halfpence as she goes from every open purse; another, ‘tis a negress, in whom enthusiastic abolitionists have discovered symptoms of vocal talent, and who is set to sing Bellini and Doni- zetti before the assembled nobility of England. Still later. we hear of large meetings being held at which colored preachers, instigatedby the Staflord House clique, denounce the insti- tutions of the United States. and call for their immediate downfall, mid shouts of bravo from a titled audience. An ex-President, whose title to public gratitude for his services to his coun- try has been forfeited by his open treason to her laws, is received with open arms at the West End, and fondled by dukes and peers: Nor are these symptoms of dislike and jealousy of the United States confined to the British isles. France re-echoes with imperialist cks on the government and constitution of Spain, Austria and Russia are usly taught by the official journals to re- gard the Union as a failure and American so- ciety a hideous picture of anarchy. Open accusations and specific charges are seldom made; covert calumny answers the purpose tually and is moredifficult to refute. ‘The British aristecracy have pointed all their guns towards one single point—American sla- ‘There was a time when “American Lynch law’ was the favorite theme for British writers to harp upon. The United States were depicted as the abode of a horde of lawless savages, de- lighting in violence. and accustomed to the use of the bowie knife from their youth up. Horrid tales of Kentucky sawpits and Western duels found their way into British periodicals, and many very seusible people began to regard this country as a@ sort ot Pandemonium. Unfortu- nately for the success of the theory. some stray Englishmen, who were not wholly blinded by prejudice, found their way into the United States,and gave avery different coloring to our society. They discovered families where people sat down to dinner without bowie knives and revolvers; where no one recollected the occurrence of a duel in a dark room; where the conversation was as enlightened and as refined asin any mansion in London. They visited cities where the sheriff’s officers were never molested; where justice was allowed to take its course and rowdies and rioters were both se- verely chastised at the time, and justly pun. ished afterwards. At their return to their native land the whole fabric of American anarchy fell to the ground. Englishmen saw that some other ‘saw’ must be “stablished,” and accordingly slavery was chosen. The choice was not injudicious. By raising a pseudo-philanthropic cry on behalf of the sorely oppressed African. the British secured the alliance of a vast body of warm-hearted people, who are always ready to sympathise me very. with real or imaginary distress all over the world. There was enough in the real circumstances of the case, and the history of the negro race on this continent to supply an ample refutation of the charge made ag tus. But facts were invented to Ti was ters are nata” Ine of their own It was serve as a foundation for the argument. assumed that the Southern p rally prone to diminish the property by ill-treating th Tr slaves. supposed that the negro intellect was suscep- tible of al developement to that of the white man. It was on for granted that emancipa- tion would ame ate the social condition of the slave, and statistics were studious- ly exchewe: fictitious society was created, and adorned with fictitious personages, on whose tetitious misfortunes the soft British reader was expected to exha ‘oul in sor- row. The hero was a slave. whose chains were clanked at regu ls in the sight of a discerning Lritish public. nor in vain Ready to a a he had tuid bf Here was a fair prospect of raising a healthy excitement against America, The effect hoped for was of course the demolition of the repub lie. It had not es seeing politicians of Nngland, that the on! party in this country which might be fairly ve garded as hostile to the interests aud duoger ous to the eafety of our institutions was the abolitionist faction. Their tendencies, their hopes, their ill-concealed designs, were quickly discerned to be fraught with peril to the Union. A single glance disclosed the immense prac- tical service their supremacy would render to aped ihe notice of the tar- | | ships o great respect here paid to British opinion, the English nobility calculated that by giving the sanction of their approval to the party they might raise it into importance. Left to itself, it would have died out after a very brief career; sustained and encouraged by the approving fiattery of British nobles. it might possibly prosper, and eventually assume a posi- tion of commanding influence. This project has never been lost sight of by the British nobility. Whenever opportunity offers—when an abolitionist writer or leader visits England, when a black songstress lands in the British isles, when a colored Methodist holds a negro revival—the faith of the British aristeeracy is pledged afresh to the cause With a tenacity worthy of a nobler aim they cling to the fond hope that a day will come when abolition will be in the ascendant, and ruin and disunion will impend over the United States. It grieves them sorely to find them- selves deprived of the support and approval of the middle classes of their own country in the struggle. But even against the common sense of the bulk of their own fellow-citizens they persevere, and leave no arts untried to conquer prosely tes. Continental Europe is unfortunately debarred frcm using the same weapons. Every blow dealt at American slavery inflicts a wound on their own bosoms. Southern emancipation could hardly be advocated by those who deny freedom to their own subjects. Hence we find the attacks of the continental governments. and their organs in the United States. more in. sidiows and less explicit than those of the Brit- ish nobility. We are charged with offences inst God and man in a general way; the in- dietment is loosely drawn up, and from its very vagueness, is more significative to the vulgar reader. Confident expectations of the break-up of the American States are freely expressed and already European democrats are cautioned against similar attempts to ours. What permanent results may attend these designs we can hardly venture to predict. At present they seem as harmless as they are ma- licious. But so long as the abolitionists exist asaparty it is well that we should bear in mind from what source they derive their strength, and at whose bidding they plot trea- son and sedition. Consular System of the United States—Datles, Qualifications, &e The important services which may be ren- dered to a country by a well qualified and faithful consul require that their selection should be made with great care, The English view the consular office as one of great responsibility, requiring peculiar fit- ness in those upon whom it is bestowed. Party considerations have but very little weight in deciding their appointment. A consul found qualified by experience, and whose services have proved acceptable to the government. is seldom removed. and when retiring generally receives an annuity or pension from the crown. They are seldom, if ever, changed on mere party considerations. By understanding what qualifications are deemed necessary, under English laws, to enable a man properly to dis- charge the duties of consul. we shall discover how far deficient our practice is in demanding similar competency on the part of consuls ap- pointed under the government of the United States. Chitty, in his work on “Commercial Law,” says that A British consul, in order to be property qualified for his employment, should take care to make him- self i r oi the language used by the court and cy of tLe country whe sides, 80 as to e with ease upon subjects relating to his Ifthe common people of the port use another, he must acquire that also, that he may be able to set- tle little differences without troubling the magi-tracy of the place for the interposition of their authority; such a8 accidents happening in the harbor, by which one nation running foul of, and dving da- Mage to, each other. He is to make himself acquainted, if he is not al- recéy, with the law of nations and treaties, with the tarifl or specification of duties on articles imported or exported, aud with all the municipal ordinances and laws. He must take special notice of all prohibitions to prevent the export or import of auy articles, as well on the part of the State wherein he resides, as of the govertinent employing him; so that he may admo- nich all British su'jects against carrying on an illicit comp erce to the detriment of the revenues, and in violation of the laws of either; and it is his duty to attend diligently to this part of his office, in order to prevent smuggling, aud consequent hazard of conds- cation, or cetention of ships, and imprisonment of elle and mariners. (Beawe’s, Lex Mere, Vol. I, p42) The general regulation, designed to govern the action of consuls in foreign ports, and pre- scribing their duties in relation to the country to which they are sent, as well as to their pro- tection of the citizens of Great Britain from in- sult, and its trade from illegal exactions. are in most particulars similar to the instructions transmitted to our consuls. The English con- sular code is more ample, and embraces some points of interest omitted in ours. British Consuls are regularly supplied with all | acts relating to trade and navigation, quarantine, slave trade suppression, immigration, &c.,and with treaties between this and other countries, and must of course shape their conduct accordingly. They are strictly forbidden from corresponding with pri- vate parties on public matters. The feature of most inter est in the British consular system, is. that they receive regular salaries, and in must cases are prohibited fr engaging in trade. In cases where the fees are small. the difference is made up by the go- vernment salary. It is seldom, if ever, the case that any other person is chosen to act as Br consn! than a well known subject of the crown, Hence, throughout the world of British com- meree. there are found intel government consul overnment fc ent, loyal. and gents. who look and not to the n, or lo the rewards devote to the upport, commerce of their countr: of private trade.

However important such information may be to others, it is clear, where the consul depends upon private trade for sup- port, it will be his interest to keep such infor- mation to himself, with a view of benefitting his own private business at the expense of the commerce of his own countrymen. And even where his proceedings in such cases might be unobjectionable and disinterested, he would be liable to suspicion. Trading consuls also find it difficult to obtain information. A consul unin- terested in trade would find little difficulty in gaining information from the public function- aries of a country, or from the local merchants of the place. which the trading consul. from the nature of things, would be measurably exclud- ed from, or might be imposed upon. by false statements. calculated to mislead both himself and his country. The trading consul is also an object of suspicion on the part of merchants of his own country. and of the citizens and govern- ments of foreign countries. If be seeks such information as is desired by the home government-—such as regards domes- tic manufactures, arts and science, statistics of population, agriculture. and of trade; including imports and exports, the state and progress of internal improvements. &c. —laboring under the suspicion that he is seeking information for his own private interest asa trading consul, he either fails to obtain the knowledge he seeks, or is imposed upon by false statements. which, being transmitted to Washington, stand re- corded as valuable foreign intelligence. The great evils of the United States con sular system are twofold. First, that all our consuls are allowed to engage in trade on their private account, which prevents their obtaining early, important, and correct information. Second, the appointment of unsuitable persons as consuls. A trading consul is tempted to engage in muggling, which is injurious to the legitimate ‘rade of his countrymen, and disreputable to he government he represents. His specula- tious may also fail, and he may become bank- rupt, or be involved in debts to the citizens of the government to which he is accredited. thus injuring the character and interest of American merchants having intercourse with the place, and bringing discredit upon his government at home. Ifa consul properly discharges his duties, his whole time will be required, without having leisure to engage in the private speculations of trade. It is, therefore, wretched economy on the part of the government. with a view of raving a few hundred dollars, to allow its foreign consuls to engage in private trade for a eupport, to the manifest. if not frequent. irte- parable injury of their countrymen and govern- ment. If the system is to be perfected to the de- gree to which it is susceptible, the salaries allowed to consuls ought to be such as to afford a sufficient remuneration for the services of | men properly qualified by education and ex- perience to fill them. They should be familiar with the principles of international and com- mercial laws. the history and movements of commerce, statistics of trade, manufactures, arts. and agriculture—and no others, if practi- cable. should be nominated to consular appoint- ments. The instructions usually forwarded to English consuls are as follows:— The _cousul will forward to the Secretary of State, in duplicate, so scon as the information be can collect will enable him so w do—but at avy rate within a pe- riod of six months from the date of bis arrival at his iesidence—a general report on the trade of the place and district, specifying the commodities as well of the export as import trade, and the countries which supply the latter, together with the increase or de- chne, in lite years, and the probable increase or de- cline to be expected, and the causes in both ca-es. He will state the general regulations in respect to trade at the place where he is resident, and their ef- fects. He will give the average market prices within the year, of the several articles of export and import. He will particularize what articles, if any, are abso- lutely prohibited to be imported into the country wherein he resides; what urticles are prohibited to be imported tr m avy other places than from the place of their growth or production; whether there be any privileges of importation, and what those privileges ure, in favor of ships of the build of, or belonging to, the country wherein he resides; whether there be any difference in the duty on goods when imported inti that country iv a foreign ship; and if so, whether it be general, orapplicable only to particular articles; whut are the rates of duty payable on goods imported into said country; whether there be any tonnage daty or other port dues, and what, payable on shippiag entering at, or clearing from, the ports of the couu- try; whether there be any (and if so, what) ports in that country wherein goods may be warehouss importation, and afterwards exported with or with- out payment of any duties, and under what regula- tions. He is also to transmit an annual statement of the trade with the principal ports of his con- rulship, and quarterly returns of the prices of corn, &e. The payment of consuls is provided for in time of war. Tables of fees are to be publicly exhibited in consular offices. Severe penalties are inflicted upon consuls for overcharging fees, and other misconduct. Absence without leave is strictly forbidden. On retiring from office, caused by age, or other approved circumstances, there is an ‘allowance of superannuation,” or pension. granted by the crown. British con- suls inTurkey, Egypt. and the Barbary States possess extensive judicial powers. Such are the general features of the British consular system. Though acknowledged by Englishmen to be defective, it is vastly supe- rior to that of the United States. The English consular fees. where allowed. vary with the country in which they reside, and are in all cases fixed by law. These we shall contrast with the fees allowed under our laws, when we reach that stage of our subject. American Lapis ANp Foretan Dirrowars— ‘Manirest Destiny.”-—-When that good old soldier, General Taylor, announced to the de- lighted people of this happy country that we were “at peace with the world and the rest of mankind,’ he was, perhaps, little aware of the true sceret of this pleasant condition of our re- lations with foreign countries. Older statea- men, and more experienced. than Old Rough aud Ready. have concluded that it was due to that sagacious policy recommended by Wash- ington, of avoiding all “entangling alliances” with other nations, and all unnecessary inter- meddling in the affairs of other people. We rebend, however, that the real secret of the friendly sentiments reciprocally entertained and so frequently illustrated during the last twenty years, between us and the other great powers of the earth, may be traced not so much to our foreign policy os to the numerous happy matrimonial alliances contracted from time to time between foreign diplomats near our go- vernment and the fair daughters of Brother Jonathan, We are reminded of this fhet, in seeing it an- nounced by the Washington newsmongers that the acceptance by Don Calderon de la Barca of the portfolio of Secretary of Foreign Aflairs at Madrid, is somewhat doubtful. If there is any ground for a reasonable doubt upon the subject, we presume it rests upon his social and domestic attachments, which have resulted from the long residence of Mr. Cal- deron in Washington. His wife is an Ameri- can lady, of a Scotch family named McLeod ; her sistef, we understand, is the wife of Mr. J. M. Carlisle, one of the foremost men of the Washington bar; and a promising cousin of these ladies, is that exceedingly tall and tast young Baronet, a “ Rough Diamond” of comedy, Sir William Don. So genial too, has Mr. Cal- deron made himself to the society of Washing- ton, so much is he at length regarded as a fixed inhabitant of the place, and so smoothly has his official and private life there glided along. that he cannot leave without many regrets, though we believe that his eense of patriotism and of public duty will prevail, and that we may, therefore, safely count upon his early de- parture for Spain. M. Alexandre de Bodisco, the Russian Minis- ter, is similarly situated in his domestic rela- tions. He is the oldest of the diplomatic corps at Washington ; and somewhere about the time of the marriage of Queen Victoria, he led to the altar the reigning belle of Georgetown, a Miss Williams. daughter of a respectable citizen of that little city. belonging to that great mid- dling class which constitutes the salt and sub- stance of the population of this and every other country. The result of this alliance has been the addition to the census returns of seven native born Americans, sons and daugh- ters; notwithstanding Madam still holds her supremacy as the most splendidly beautiful woman of the District of Columbia. We are also more than half disposed to believe that the in- fluence of this charming lady. at the social re- unions between our cabinet and the diplomatic corps. has had the effect of materially softening the natural antagonism which would otherwise exist between the chief officials of this republic and the admitted servant of ‘ his august mas- ter.” the Emperor of ull the Russias, and pros- spectively of all the Turkeys, tco. {onsieur Pageot, the French minister to this country during the reign of Louis Philippe, married an American lady, daughter of Major Lewis, a warm friend and high in the personal confidence of General Jackson. and for some years second auditor of the treasury depart- ment. Mr. Pageot, it will be remembered. threw up his commission when Louis Philippe was driven cut of France, declining to serve under the usurpation ot the republic of Lamartine. The present French minister, Monsieur Sartiges, has recently followed the example of “his illustrious predecessor,” in marrying an American lady, and has made his selection from a highly re- spectable and wealthy family of Boston. This fixed fact entirely demolishes the serious charges lately brought against Monsieur Sartiges by Captain John Barney. of Baltimore. in this, that the representative of France had failed on several occasions to show that marked polite- ness and sense of gallantry to our American la- dies, which is so naturally expected of every Frenchman. The sister of Madame Sartiges has been lately espoused by Senor Banuelos, attache of the Spanish legation. The catalogue of these international matri- monial alliances between the diplomatic corps at Washington, past and present, and our fair countrywomen, might be still farther extended; but the prominent cases we have cited are suf- ficient to establish our point in this instance, to wit: that the cherished relations of amity which have so long prevailed and which continue to exist between our country and the other great nations of the carih, are largely due to that balance of power which American beanty has achieved in the diplomatic circles at Washing- ton. In this view the bright future of Cuba is plainly discernible. It is annexation. How can it be otherwise with an American lady as the confidential adviser of the Premier of Queen Isabella; and with the Premier himself “almost persuaded to be an” American, from his long residence and intimate social relations in the United States? In conclusion, we would propose the following sentiment :—Foreign di- plomats and American ladies—where they are indissolubly united—old fogydom and young America—the propagation of American princi- ples is manifest destiny.
