THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7519. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The Irish, German, Italian and French Departments. DHSCRIPTION OF ARTICLES, &e., &., &. The arrangement of articles on the west nave is ‘More complete than in any other part of the’ build- ing. The French display great taste and judgment in the exhibition of ther goods, which attract the visiter more than the others, by their brilliancy. ‘Their bronzes, particularly, are equal, if not superior, to any others on exhibition, while their porcelain, of which we have already given an account, surpasses ‘all other specimens. The Italian display, though not complete, is in a most creditable condition, and is not inferior to any department. The Dutch also is ex- cellent; but we certainly cannot admire the display they make in sculpture. We should, however, be sorry to take that piece from “animated nature” representing a lion aud lioness contending with a Serpent, as 2 proof of their genius in this department of the fime arts. The Dutch are occasionally humor- ous, and we should tiink, from the exhibition of these nondeseripts, are fond of 2 practical joke. As Bepecimen of their satire upon the king of beasts, his imperial spouse and small family, it is very good, but asa work of art itis not to be tolerated. No Nataralist, we believe, has yet undertaken t> inform the public what particular species those smali ani- mals in front of the group belong to. It would, we have no doubt, be beneficial to both exhibitors and visiters. if the former would appoint certain hours at which they could be found at their stands, so that they might explain the nature and value of the different articles under their charge. Some such arrangement as this would result to the advantage of both parties. We have heard of only one article having been stolen since the opening of the exhibition, a fact which speaks favorebly for the vigilance uf the police. This, we should adv, was exposed on an open table, and could be very easily abstracted. It is to be regretted. for the credit of the association, that the door keepers sometimes forget the respect that is due to visiters, and that they assume an authoritative tone and manner which is most offensive. We are certain he directors do not countenance this conduct, and ‘we know we have only to mention it to have the annoyance stopped.

LINENS, PUPLINS, LACES, ETC. | Observe a singular looking centre table. Properly speakiug, the articles of Irish manufac- tare exhibited at tue Crystal Palace are included in the English department, as Ireland does not occupy a separate section. It would be well, therefore, for visiters to bear this in mind, lest they should uncon- sciously mistake Engli-h for Irish goods. As yet the display from Ireland is not very extensive, but her collection is of more iu'riusic worth, perhaps, than other countries who make a more brilliant show. What she does send, Lowever, is exclusively her own, nd one article, the poplin, was first manufactured in her capital. It must be remembered that the great National Exhibition at Dublin, of the progress of her skill and invention ia the arts and sciences, and of her creative genius iu the fine arts, has prevented a fair representation at our exhibition. We have none of the works of her painters and sculptors—of Barry, of Maclise, of Llogan—all of whom occupy a high rank among the urtista of Europe. We expect however, at the termination of the Dublin Exhibi- tion, that many of these aud a considerable portion of the other articles ou exhibition will be sent over to be added tothe present collection. The Bpeeireens of linen fur exceed any thing of the kind in the building, and are particularly de- serving of the atteution of our dry goods mer- chants. Ireland hes loug and justly been celebrated for the perfection to which she has brought the art of manofacturing this indispensable article of dress. The London Art Journu!, in a recent number, says— that the liners of Ireland ‘‘ have kept and still re- tain their supremacy.” There are, it is true, large manufactories in Euylaad aud Scotland, but their products are not so hishly prized as those of the north of Iiviand. lumeuse districts are there de- voted exclusively to the cultivation of flax, and we do not over estimate the number of persous Who are deperdent upon ity mauuiactare, in its various stages, when we stute them at two hundred thousand. At present liven is somewhat dear- er than it was / y. his is attribata- ble to the enh a value of labor, resulting from the extensive emigration of the past year. In 1861 the imports of liuen into the United States from Great Britain aud ireland, amounted to $7,503,331, and of this at least three-fourths were from the latter country. The exhibitors of liven goods ut the fair are Fen- ton, Son & Co., Gillrd, und Rivardson, Sons & Owden, all of Belfast, trelaad. Tue linen contributed by the Inst named mivafacturers is remarkable for its clearness, beauiy, aud uenessof its textare.

The poplins are composed of silken warp and woolien ‘weft, and are sometimes called tabbinet. The Eng- Mesh and French manufactures of this article are Sar inferior to those of Ireland, and their sales far * More limited. Pim, Brothers & Co., of Dublin, have ‘on exhibition a more valuable collection of these fabrics, of their own manufacture, than were pro- ably over before presented to an American public. ‘MORNING EDITION----TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1858. of the richest silken goods, and in durability are unrivalled by any other fabrics of the kind. Be- sides, there are displayed plain and rich figured pop- lins, all of which rank with the richest silks in beauty and value. The tartan plaid of this kind of goods ia much admired, and in Scotland finds an” ex tensive sale among the wenlthier classes. But the most beautiful piece exhibited by these manufacturers is called tissue brocade poplin, maau- factured from the same material as the rest, but Woven with beautiful flowers, most naturally deline- ated. The ornamental part of this article appears like raised figures, although interwoven through the piece. This exhibition is embellished with roses, and on account of the exceedingly rich gloss of the material, cach flower appears as ifa painting. Dub- lin is the great manufucturing city of these goods, and finds an extensive market for them in England and on the Continent. In this country no agency for their sale has yet been established, although some of our largest merchants have imported them to a small extent. The exhibitors of this fabric in the Crystal Palace intend soon to take measures to effect its permanent introduction and use in this country, where, when it is fully known, it will be largely pa- tronized. ORNAMENTS IN BOG OAK, ETO. Tn the gallery near the stands containing the Eng- lish silverware, are some rare and beautiful orna- ments made of Irish bog oak. This wood is of a black color, aid in its general appearance somewhat resembles ebony, but we believe it is much softer. It is found, as its name would indicate, in the bogs of Ireland, which extend over 2,800,000 acres, and furnish an almost inexhaustible supply of peat. The oak is found in great abuodance in some of these bogs, and is used principally for the manufacture of ornaments, such as breastpins, bracelets, earrings, picture frames, &c. Immediately under the dome, as you enter the nave leading to the machine arcade, you may This isone of the articles of the Irish collection, but it is more attractive as a curiosity than from any particu- lar merits it possesses as a work of art. It was de- signed and executed expressly for the Cork National Exhibition, by John Fletcher, of that city. The ma- terial of which it is constructed consists of no less than thirteen different kinds of the rarest description of Irish timber. Tbe top represents the national em- blem in nine kiuds of wood, while in the centre is a figure of Erin in white chestnut, inlaid in bog oak. She is represented leaning pensively on a harp, and underneath is the following inscription, in Irish :— “Leng hath oven thy sleep my harp,’’ The pillar of this table is formed of a limb of an oak tree, exactly in the same shape as it was found, and branching frem it are three stems, which, by a curious whim of nature, unite above, forming an excellent support for the top or leaf of the table. One of the branches bears a remarkable resemblance to the stem of the sham- rock, when the top is placed in a perpendicular in- stead of a horizontal position. The whole rests on a walnut tripod plinth, on which are carved in lime tree wood three figures, representing an Irish bard, with his barp, inciting to deadly conflict two war- riors, one of whom has already fallen, mortally wounded by an arrow; while the other, on bended knee, draws his bow in the act of shooting at the enemy. The three figures are intended to partially illustrate one of tho-e Irish battle scenes in the feudal period, when the weaker party was wont to fly to the old oak for shelter and defence. IRISH LACES—THE ORIGIN AND MANUFACTURE OF LACE. ‘There are some very beautiful specimens of Irish Jace and muslin exhibited in a case belonging to Hig- gins & Co.,of Dublin, and which is situated near the organ, in the east gallery. One of these is exceed- ingly valuable, being worth four hundred dollars. It is the skirt of a dress made of Limerick lace, exqui- sitely wrought with the needle. The others are not se costly, but they possess many attractions for fe- male visiters, who would do well to examine the va- rious articles of work. A young lady who isin charge of the case, describes the manner in which this kind of needlework is performed. The history of the manufacture of lace is so interesting that we cannot allow this opportunity to pass without giving asketch, which we sre certain will be read with pleasure by the tuairer portion of our readers. its origin, though involved in some obscurity is con- sidered of a very nt dete, as we find it used in tue costumes of Grecian females, in the palmy days of the old Greek repuolies, and it is thought that its manufacture was vis» Known to the Romans. Mary de Medicis has receaved the credit of being the first to introduce it into France from Venice, where, as also in the neighboring States of Italy, it was long previously worn. In Eugland, however, as early as 1453, “laces ot thread, and silk and gold” were enumerated among the articles to be imported. From this it is but fair t+ presume that the manufacture of lace was commenced in England prior to this perio, as this and mavy subsequent acts were passed for the encouragement and protection of the British manufacturers. According to tradition, the Nug- ish were first iostructed in the art of making loce by the Flemish refugees, who, fora long time, were superior to avy people inthe mauufacture of ub Mr. McCulloch, to whom we beautitul fabric ndebted for these interesting facts, says that pillow lace, which is the original manufacture, 1s worked upon a bard stuffed pillow, with silk, flax, or cottou threads, according to a parchment pattern placed upon st by means of pins, bobbins, and spia- des, which ace p d and displaced, twisting acd interweaving the threads, £0 as to imitate the pat tern designed. This manufacture has been loug pursued in almost every town and village in the midind counties of Lngland. It is also made throughout Irauce, the Netherlands, and at va mm and Portugal. In the city of * ex ten thousand persons are engaged | in its mamuiacture.

DRUGS, MINERALS, AND CHEMICALS, In the German department a large oollection of drngs, chemical preparations, medicine chests chemical apparatus, &c., is exhibited. It is woll worth being examined by physicians, apothecaries chemists, and others, as it is the largest and best assorted collection ever brought before the people. Dr:sden, Saxony. Messrs. Dill & Krocho, 161 Pearl str «t. are their sole agents for the United States; Mr. Bernhard is arranging them for exhibition with much taste and advantage. - Among the minerals and ores are to be noticed one p‘ece of bismuth, entirely pure. One piece of native bismuth, found in the mine of Sanschwart, in Saxony. Itisa sample of the purest and richest ore found. One piece of bismuth, mixed with cobalt ore, showing the shade of the mine, and the paragonis of metals. One piece of gray cobaltore, found at Sanchwart, Saxony. This isa sample of the purest and richest cobalt ore found. Two pieces of crystalized cobalt ore; the crystals in part of them are well preserved; in another place partly withered, and in another one spots are visible where the crystals are entirely destroyed. One piece of nickel, mixed with quartz, cobalt, and copper nickel. It is very instructive in regard to the formation of the mine “ Daniel,” in Saxony. One piece of hard coppernickel, found at Lieben- stein, Saxony. The metals are very interesting in regard to their different uses in every day affairs. Bismuth, for in- stance, is an ingredient of the type metal. Nicke is used in te manufacture of German silver—and cobalt for blue coloring on China and other wares Four peices of arsenic found ‘at Weldeman, in Saxony. Native platina of Sabirla and platina wire and sheets. Paladium wolfram and rhodium in a pure metalic state—it is very difficult to separate these metals from those with which they are generally mixed in the native state—these metals are of little practical use. Lythia mica, found at Geizing, in Saxony. Dr. Struve used it in making artificial mineral waters—different pieces of artificial pumace stone. Among the chemical preparations are many which are but little used, but which were manufactured by 3ehe & Co., to show them in their purest state. The reason why they are not used is that the cost of their preparation is more than their value. We find Alum entirely free from iron; alum in all its combinations with other chemical matters in its purest state. Amorgst the arsenic, its ores and oxydes, is to be noticed the red oxyde of arsenic, on account of its being used for preserving wood for ship building, and in the manufa2ture of morocco leather. Cadmium, in a metalic state, used by dentists in making enamel colors for artificial teeth. All the different acids, bases, salts, &c., used in me dicine, aud for technical purposes, such as acitic acid glacialis, phosphoric acid glacialis, silicic acid, pure, from prepared native silicic acid, prepared in the moist way; the same dried and gelatinized. Worthy of notice’are the different ethers, such aS apple, pineapple, pear, strawberry, mulberry, my- thelen, peach, and other ethers used for flavoring bonbons, and other confectionary. These are the triumph of modern chemistry, as they are artifi- cially produced, entirely out of fusiloil, without any of the truits, whose names they bear. Butter, rum and brandy. ethers—the essence of rum and brandy for artific‘ally making these liquors. The buse of all these is amyle, oxylydrat or fusiloil, which is easily gained in distilling and rectifying the different alcoholic liquors. A quantity of French fixed oils, such as jasmin, resada, mythelem, lavendar, quintessence of laven- dar, which costs about $8 per pound, &c. Some flowers contain too little oil to be gained by pressing them. The French first introduced the method of picking the blossoms of flowers and ponring oil on them, which, after being impregnated, took the flavor of the blossom, and afterwards filtered it, from which they took the name of French fixed oils; dif- ferent French alcoholic essences for perfumery; a large bottle of essential oil of arnica, tae value of which is, in urope, 40 per ounce, o° great reme" dial vulue in medicine; essential oil of mustard, which, from its specific gravity, will be found to be entirely pure; and essential oils of about sixty other different plants. Amongst the herbs and drags, a good mony are fonnd in their native state, and others prepared-- to enuyerate all of which would be a dil ficult task. Catalogues, which are now being pre- pared, will be furnished soon, printed in the Latin, English, Preuch and German languages, and will give @ better list than it is possible to give in a news- paper report. Attention is invited toa piant called kourso, a very strong vermifuge, brought from Abyssinia by Roger @'Haricourt. At its introduction it was con- sidered as valuable as gold, but has since declined in value. Root of samber wood, a large root with a strong smell of musk, a favorite incense of the East, and has been much esteemed in European Russia and Ger- many as an antiecholera remedy. The root of allium victorialis longa, much used in olden times by the common people as an atnulet against bodily injury, for exorcising ghosts and hob- goblins, also to keep cattle from disea Alcoholic powd of different barks and herbs; all of them are said to be of the greatest fineness, und warraxted not only to be genuine, but also per- feetly pure. Amongst the different colors and dyestuffs which are exbibited in such large quantities in the different departments, is to be mentioned albumen from ani- mul bloud, and album from It is used tor clarifying wine, and, in connection with ultramarine, for coloring and printing.

Two curiosities eresting, are a wild bow unavoidably which will be for $ head, cast in bror and a tree cast in the same ul. Phe head is executed from notare, without being’ ro touched by either file or 1. it was severed from the body, immediately at the back of the ears, a mould taken of it, aud the present cast was taken from this mould, precisely as it is now represented. it is bey nd the powers o/ the sculptor to equal it in any particular. Every hair, bristle, and tusk is fully represented, and the head appears in a nataral state, as if just taken from the body. This was executed by Clement Papi, of Florence, Tascany, Royal Vounder ot Statues and Professor of the Medal of ‘Tuscan Industrial Merit. The tree, cast in the same manner, is about three feet high, and is called the erassula portulacoides. This also was executed from nature, and faithfully presents every branch and leaf of the original. In the fine arts Italy makes a groater display than any other nation. The specimens of statuary and Dbe denble watered popling have the appearang f it comer frum ihe factory of Digsors, Gely & Go, iq 4 her paintings are .pmerous, and among thom ar some works which are very good and others which are very poor. As wo have before stated, from Italy we hada right to expect something from her great artists which would remind us of the days of Raphael and Corriggio. Nothing of the kind has been exhibited. Among the paintings disp'ayed there are two which have the reputation of beiag from the brush of the great masters, but only one of these sustains this reputation by its merits. These two paintings are Guido’s “St. Cecilia” and tle “ Triumph of Bacchus,” said to be by Rubens. If the latter of these is really an original by Rubens, then critics have greatly overrated the powers of this artist. There is nothing about it indicative of supe- riority, but some of its figures are ill conceived and delineated. FRENCH DEPARTMENT. BRONZE Goops. There are on exhibition in the French department some very beautiful specimens of bronze goags, in the shape of clocks, candelabra, &c., for the mantel orthe table. The French display great taste in the manufactory of these articles, and some of the figures upon those alluded to are very meritorious. Le Rolle Brothers are the manufacturers of these works con- tributed to the Crystal Palace, one of the largest houses in France. In the col'ection is a great clock, called the “Toilet of Venus,’ made with candlesticks projecting from it—a very rich style of Lowis XV. This is entirely gilt bronze, and reconamends itself by its great beauty. Another clock, which is very handsome, is called “Aurora.” _ It is joined with candelabra, and the works of the clock are enclosed in a blue spherical case, studded with stars. Still another clock, which justly attracts much attention, is set in a heavy gilt case surmounted by two figures, both reclining, and one with an open volume reading to the other. The figures are ele- gantly wrought, and the massive case of the clock is very rich in its appearance. Upon the came table with these is a large chaude- lier, adorned with heavy figures, dressed iwfull at mor, and wearing helmet and visor. This work is inlaid with gold, silver, and blue enamel. Besides the few articles alluded to, there are yari- ous others, equally rich and beautiful. Additions, we understand, are to bo made to these contribu- tions, which will enhance the interest of the display already made. Many of these articles are so elegantly giltthat numbers suppose them to be wrought gold. No ornament can excel them for the decoration of a parlor, or for utility. The chandeliers are intended either for candles or gas, and.soifie of those exhibited have upward of fifty burners. WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT. CONTRIBUTIONS.

M. mail train for Philadel- phia was detained nearly an hour between Newar': and Elizabethtown yesterday morning, by the break- ing of a wheel under the mail car. The train was going at its usual speed when the accident occurred, and the trucks, axles, and wheels under the whole train were more or less broken and injured. None of the passengers, however, received the slight- est personal injury. Mr. Frasee, the conductor of the train, was standing on a platform, and was thrown head foremost to the earth, but fortanately alighted on sandy ground, clear of the train, and only received some slight scratches and bruises about the head and shoulders. He was able to pro- ceed with the train to Elizabethtown. 3 ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Philadelphia mail train, which left New York at eight o'clock yesterday morning, with a heavy load and a large number of cars, met with an acci- dent which well nigh proved very serious. When tivo miles east of Elizabetht »wn, New Jer- sey, one of the wheels in the forward truck of one of the cars suddenly broke while the train was under full speed. The fragments of the wheel broke through the flooring of the car in the middle of its aisle, ripped it up nearly its whole course, seriously damaging the car, which was full of people, all of whom, however, were fortunately unhurt. One of the conductors, on the occurrence of the accident, sprang to the brake on the platform, from which, it is supposed, he was thrown a distance of near thirty feet to one side of the train. Such was the force with which he was thrown thet it was said he did not strike the ground until one car had passed him, He was picked up severely bruised, and conveyed to New- ark, where he lies under medical treatment, and suffering very much from his injuries. We heard of no other pene having been injured except very slightly. No blame could attach to any officer of the road, as the accident arose from the sudden fracture of the wheel. The train was detained about an hour, and then proceeded on to Philadelphia. The Central New Jersey Railroad train from Eas- ton, New Hampton, Plainfleld, &. trom Schooly’s Mountain, dne at Elizabethport at fifteen minutes past one, and in New York at two P.M, did not reach the former place until after two P.M.,and the latter until between thre d four P.M., having been detained full two hours, We asked the engineer the cause, and he said, simply, that he had too heavy a load to enable him to make the trip sooner. it seemed that, besides a full passenger train, there was an immense pig train hitcbed on between the locomotive tender and the passenger train. The pigs were abundant, large and fat, alive, kicking and fruiting, and would have done no discredit to the best porkop at the West.
