Single copies, in wrappers, six- pence. The News. Col. Benton has caused to be published a letter fom Mr. Harris Heap, a companion of Lieutenant Beale in his central route expedition to California, eorroborative of the statements contained in the let- ter of the latter gentleman, published in yesterday's peper. The important fact is announced that through the entire line which the party has ex- plored, embracing quite half the distance between the boundaries of Missouri and California, and com- prebending the most difficult portion of the line, the construction of the road at an easy grade is not only practicable, but the country is fertile and well wa- tered, presenting the greatest inducements to hus- bandmen. From the frontiers of Missouri to the head of the Del Norte there is found no obstruction to a railroad equal t8 what is encountered between Baltimore and Washingtgp. The remainder of the Poute is reported to be stil: more level,and the moun. tain pass presented thp appearance of a broad, smooth valley. So far, the central route appears to de well adapted for the grand enterprise of a railroad to the Paciflc. Captain Marcy asserts that the route from the Mississippi river, at Memphis, or its vicini ty, via E] Paso or Dona Ana, and thence down the Gila river to its intersection with the Colorado, and across to San Diego, possesses advantages over all others. Should Captain M.'s opinion be proved cor- sect, and the expectations of Major Stevens, who is now surveying what is termed the northern route, be realized, the doubts which have rested on the mind of the country as to the possibility of making a railroad at all will be swept away, and the work will go on with marvellous celerity. A great day was yesterday for New England in general, and the town of Plymouth in particular. On the spot where the Pilgrims landed, the corner stone ofa monument, to commemorate their depar- tare from Delft Haven, was laid ; two or three thou- sand persons—including the ladies, a new and agreeable feature—partook of a sumptuous dinner, and some of New Engiand’s most eloquent sons were present to complete the “ feast of reason and the flow of soul.” The occasion was a great one, and the ceremonies were in keeping. On the first page may be found an account of some of the preli- minary proceedings. The Court of General Sessions held its first sitting of the August term yesterday. In his charge to the Grand Jury his Honor Recorder Tillou specially charged them to inquire into any violation of the election laws, of the usury laws, of the laws by pub- lic officers in demanding and receiving fees to which they are not lawfully entitled, and of the laws against lotteries; also to inquire into the condition apd atrangement of buildings for the accommoda- tion of large assemblies, and that gags of houses Amown as tenant houses. The calendar for this term ina large one. St. John, N. B., papers of Jaly 30 state that fires were raging in the woods near Shediac, and had already destroyed much valuable timber. The sur- vey of the European and North American Railroad was going on actively. ‘The only information we have of the elections held yesterday isa despatch from Kentucky. William Preston, whig candidate for Congress in the Louis- ville district, was eight hundred votes ahead at noon. From Washington we learn that the administra tion is stil] without an organ, negotiations for the purchase of the National Democrat being suspended for lack of funds. The Secretary of the Treasury and another government official are to leave Washing ton to-day for this city, doubtless on business con” nected with the Assay office. The gang of counterfeiters recently arrested at Cincinnati were committed to prison on Saturday, in @efault of ten thousand dollars bail each, for counter- feiting, and five thousand for robbery, they having several sheets of genuine bills of the Ohio State Bank in their possession. Dates from the city of Mexico to July 16 have been received at New Orleans. The Mexican papers were bitterly opposing a retarn to the Spanish yoke, ‘The union of Church and State was progressing, and preparations were making for the return of the Jesuits. The journeymen house painters, now on a strike in this city, beld a meeting last evening in Conven- tion Hall, in order to organize a trade Protective union.

A communication was re- ceived from the Comptroller, retusing to pay $7,000 for the purchase of a lease of twenty one lots situated at the foot of Forty-fifth street, alleging that no ap- propriation had been made therefor. Subsequently @ resolation was presented from the Board of Alder- men for eoncurrence in making the appropriation of $7,000 for the purchase of said lease. is resolu- tion was concurred in, and the ComptroDar will now be compel'ed to comply with the resolution, An- other communication was received from the Comp- troller in reference to the payment of moneys for the grading of Second avenue. It was read about half way through, and then laid on the table, to be called up at some future day. Quite a long and spirited debate took place in the Board of Aldermen last evening, on a resolution of- fered by Alderman Doherty appointing a commit- tee to further investigate the charges of corruption and tampering preferred against the Comimasiouer of Streets by the Alderman of the Nineteenth ward. After a debate of two hours—a full report of which may be found in another column—the resolution was at length adopted. The Board, after the trans- action of some unimportant business, adjourned until Wednesday evening. At New Orleans the yellow fever was raging be- yond all precedent. There were five huadred deaths during the week ending 23d ult. The Philadelphia papers state that the death of Commodore Newton was officially announced in Washington yesterday. The friends of a prohibitory liquor law are hold- jing a convention in Philadelphia, which is well at- tended. The Conquest of Birmah. While Russia is vainly endeavoring to con- summate her schemes ofaggrandizement against Turkey. Great Britain is more successful in her attempts to extend the boundaries of her empire. The Birmese war is practically at an end; the most valuable portions of the Emperor’s dominions have already fallen into the British grasp. Both shores of the Irawaddy and the whole of the littoral are at this moment held by British troops. Had it not been, indeed. for the inexperience and mismanagement of the officer who commanded the British army on that expedition, the whole country would have been subjugated. and the new Emperor and his court would have been compelled to seeka refuge in the mountains. As it is, the Burmese have been deprived boih of their trade and their means of subsistence; what is left them is the least valuable portion of their empire. They will be forced to purchase nearly all the necessaries of life from the territories which have been seized by the invaders. Every Bur- mese vessel will require to pass through British waters, and pay toll to British authorities before it can reach the sea. Every fort of im- portance is already garrisoned by British troops. The nation is impoverished, the army disheart- ened; a large body of the citizens have been driven from their homes, and are now enduring fearful hardshipsin the northern districts of the empire. It was with these discouraging events in view that the envoys of the Emperor met the British Commissioners a few weeks since, to agree upon a treaty of peace. The latter, as usual after a successful campaign, demanded among other things, that a large proportion of the ter- ritory overrun by the troops should be ceded to Great Britain. This proposition having been indignantly declined by the Birmese, the com- manding officer notified the envoys that they must give an unconditional consent to his de- mand, or evacuate the place withia twenty-four hours. So long a period was not required by the Birmese to come to a decision. Without tendering any reply. they took their departure within ten hours after the receipt of the mes sage, Thus stands the matter at present; and of the two contending parties, England is probably the most embarrassed by the turn alfuirs have taken. The war was begun in defiance of the sage counsels of the statesman who was best acquainted with India. It was undertaken ona pretext—a quarrel between the authorities at Rangoon and the British naval officer on the station—which could by no ingenuity be tortured into a legitimate cause for war. It has been carried on ata frightful expense; and though the blood actually shed in combat has been comparatively trifling the loss of men from disease on the baaks and at the marshy mouth of the Irawaddy has been very considerable. Victory has conferred little practical benefit on the assailants; every thing seems to indicate that conquest will be as expensive as defeat could have proved. Ven- geance alone has been gratified by the ruin of a brave. unoffending people. At atime when the British legislature would give worlds to be re- lieved of the duty of providing for the govern- ment of one hundred and fifty millious of peo- ple, who have nothing in common with the Anglo-Saxon race— millions whom misrule and oppression bid fair'to obliterate, at some future period, from the face of the earth—the addition of a fresh territory to her already unwieldy empire cannot but be regarded by men of wis- dom as an unmitigated misfortune. There are Englishmen, of course, like the London Chro- nicle newspaper, who see nothing in fresh con- quests but a source of exultation. They make it a crime to the Birmese to love their country, and call that in them “ insolence,”’ whieh would be patriotism in an Englishman ora Turk. In their eyes, to use the language of the pviut above mentioned, “nothing can be more imper- tinent” than the conduct of the envoys; bat they “are inclined to regard it as a matter fur congratulation that one source of doubt and delay has at any rate been got rid of.” ‘The Chronicle adds: As regards Pegu, we conceive that its retention is no Jonger an open question. To abandon a territory whieh has been formally proclaimed part and parcel of the British dominions, would, in any case, be most onwire, even were the annexed province as worthless as Pega is valuable. Very tew persous now a-days need to be told that ret steps are always damaging in India; while, in the pre- sent case, any show of timidity would be peculiarly impolitic by the detiant and insol tude assumed by the Birmese government. Indian State wil! doubt our superivrity to the | mese, if we retain oar hold on the ouly por of the golden tooted king's dominions which worth the taking. ‘The sole point, there consider is, what is the easiest and lew method of securing ourselves in quiet posse our conquest? pected No Bit 8100 Ob It is, in short. the old story served uf anew England: is entitled, by “divine right” we preeume, to the territories of all the monarchs she may choose to as on the part of the victim is “ eolent.” It is hard to say whether this language is more foolish or its effects more suicidal, Even Morging’ Chronicle could hardly venture ‘Abe invasion of Birmah; and now that ~ ang'has been consummated. it will ‘more dedaite taan loud epi- “veat Britaig will not be. the . to defen. the mora] wre require aujietiviing thets to prove hist as herself the first eufferer by her unjust conduct People in England inquire, reasonably enough: Now that we have conquered Birmah, what is to be done? A repty could easily be obtained if the English would but get rid of their absurd prejudices relative to their “‘ manifest destiny” in India, Several thousand square miles of land will be added to the empire; and se- vera] thousad men will be required, with mus- kets and swords. and other barbarious imple- ments, to keep the British flag afloat over the cities. These men will need to be paid by the British government or by the East India Com- pany. Three or four times a year, the Birmese will descend from the mountains and ravage the country. When a pitehed battle takes place, they will probably be worsted; but victory, we know too well, will not be tantamount to conquest}. The answer of the envoys shows us plainly enough that the valor displayed by the Birmese in the war of 1815 is not wholly ex- tinet in the race; there are yet men among them who, like the Sikhs, will make the British pay dear enough for the territory they have acquired. Such a prospect were perhaps punishment enough for the flagrant injustice of England. Without it, one might feel inclined to regret that the national balance of power which seems to be so inviolable in Europe, does not extend to Asia likewise. America’ Mayors—Liserty or SpPeece.— When Whittington, famous in boyish legend, heard the bells ring: “Come again, Richard, Lord Mayor of London!” the prospect unravelled by the sounds thus gratefully interpreted, was one of unmingled pomp, respect and honor. Not a blemish marred its splendid face. The rank of “mayor ” was to him the highest glory to which a mortal could aspire. If we have among us any little Whittington’s in pinafores or jackets, we beg to guard them against simi- lar delusions. Of the Lord Mayor of London our knowledge does not enable us to speak with confidence, and we have gone as far as strict conecientiousness will allow, when we observe that his name is inseparably connected in our mind with turtle soup. But of our mayors here, we know quite enough to say that the office is by no means one of those which, as a gencral rule, reflect lustre or fame on their in- cumbent. The influence of state and federal politics over our municipal elections, deprives it of the honor which the unbiassed suffrage of one’s fellow citizens would otherwise bestow; and furthermore, our mayors have so often proved incapable to discharge the duties of their office, and unequal to cope with trying emergencies. that their official career generally completes what their election commenced. We mean to cast no reflection on our present mayor. who has had in fact no opportunity of displaying peculiar fitness or unfitness for his post. But the Astor place riots are not so far distant that their recollection is effaced. On that occasion, New York learned that in case of difficulty, more reliance was to be placed on the good sense and energy ot the public at large, than on the nerve or ability of our chief civic officer. Many other cities in the Union seem equally unfortunate in their Mayors. Baltimore is a peculiar object of commiscration. The Mayor of that city, distinctly states, that if the liquor dealers were to get up a riot to interfere with the lectures of a temperance orator, the latter and not the rioters would be held responsible In other words, the civic authority at Baltimore does not regard liberty of speech as one of the rights enjoyed by that city; and any lecturer whose opinions conflict with that of the Balti- more mob. may be silenced and expelled from the place. It is well that this fact should be known. A city wherein a stranger is not al- lowed to express opinions on matters of public interest ought to be advertised. Lecturers should be notified of the danger they will incur in adventuring within its limits. Of course every city has a clear right to govern itself in such matters; and it would be an unwarrant- able act on the part of a stranger, to interfere with its well-established usages. The people of Baltimore may decree that temperance lectu- rers, or Bible lecturers, or any other class of speakers, shall be denied the right of free speech within their city. All that we can do, on hearing of their decision. is to note the fact, and caution enlightened men against venturing thither. If the inhabitants of our sister city choose to curtail their own liberties, and to at- tempt a retrograde step, while their neighbors are advancing, it is their business, not ours. We may pity them. but we cannot interfere. In like manner, the Mayor of Cincinnati for- bade a street preacher to continue his dis- courses, which inflamed the public. mind; and the Mayor of Boonville, Mo., issued a pro- clamation forbidding one Ross to continue his lectures on temperance. These facts only show that the degree of freedom enjoyed here is not shared by our fellow-countrymen else- where, ‘The phenomenon is not confined to the United States. Tyrannical, inefficient mayors seem the rule in the Canadas. The Mayor of Quebec for- bade Gavazzi to lecture in the city. He of Mon- treal, becami¢ 80 nervous on the occasion of a disturbance, that he ordered the troops to fire on an assemblage of quiet, peaceable indi- viduals. He of Toronto is charged with hav- ing conspired with Mr. Hincks, to defraud the city out of some twenty thousand dollars. Grouping these various facts together. one is inclined to imagine whether cities would not thrive as well without mayors, as with those functionaries. They are no doubt highly or- namental on certain occasions, but it is ques tionable whether this merit is not counterbal- anced by the practical injury they seem destin- ed todo. When an energetic officer is needed they are not to be found; or if they do appear on the scene of action, it is to commit some act of folly or imprudence. On the other hand, when ail is quiet, and their fellow-citizens de- sire to enjoy those liberties which are the in- herent birthright of every American, the mayor steps forward and interposes his tyrannical authority. By the constitutioa of this city, our mayor has not much power to do wrong. But elsewhere it is seemingly diiferent, and the chief civic wagistraics display no squeeim ishness about the exercize of their authority. The silencing of a teimpe ible lee turer are very small things i elves; but the principle established by ct, is one of the very ‘highest moment. . in short, no- bing lese than the recogn the absence of liberty of speech. We i ay that we have little sympathy with itinerant fleld preach- ers, or with Maine law advocates, But their opponents must not deny them the right of expressing their views, and arguing their cause in the smost public piace ia Wew York or elsewhere, Tux Busy-Ficutie Ovvice-Skexens AND THE New Yorx Heratp.—We have been frequently amused since the Presidential election with the expedients of anxious office-seekers to get a hearing of some sort of the administration through this office; but we have seldom been at & loss to detect the object of these selfish appli- cations, however plausibly disguised. In the outset. the calls for letters of recommendation to Washington exceeded our most eanguine ex- pectations; but as we felt no disposition to in- terfere in the scramble for the spoils, and no inclination to recommend people at random, under any circumstances, these calls for “aid and comfort” rapidly diminished, until the an- noyance entirely ceased. Next, the system of volunteer correspondence for the Heratp was tried; exalting one great man to the skies, and pulling another down; deprecating this particular policy. and urging that upon the administration as the only path of safety and honor. We gave a few letters from various quarters in ‘ the noise and confusion” of the first month or so after the inauguration, very much to the gratification of the parties inte- rested; but we know that a prodigious number of patriotic effusions, approving or condemning various official persons and official proceedings at Washington, and elsewhere. connected with the administration, were cast into the fire, be- cause we detected in them the ear-mark of the unscrupulous office-seeker. After a while our voluntegr contributions of this sort diminished, and as the spoils began to grow Small by degrees, and beautifully less, our gratuitous letter-writers almost entirely euspended their patriotic labors to enlighten the administration through our columns. Personal applications and remonstrances con- cerning the political consistency ofthe Heratp, have been the last resort of some of our devoted political friends, But they, too, have proved to us the preposterous absurdity of confiding too much in the weakness of human nature. Yes- terday a man boldly standing out upon princi- ple, and sworn to destroy “the faithless con- cern at Washington,” is conciliated to-day with a mouthful of bread and butter. One by one we have seen such indignant patriots recon- ciled to everybody in the cabinet, and to every- thing that has been done, by a slice of the plun- der for himself. And thus the most ferocious national union compromise men, after having deplored the forbearance of the HeraLp respecting the freesoil appointments of Gen. Pierce, bave suddawly and without remorse, shut up their mouths, deserted us, and gone over to take tea with Secretary Marcy or McClelland, with a good fat commis- sion in theirs pockets. Excepting Edmund Burke, Daniel S. Dickinson, Mr. D.B. Taylor, Mr. Senator Cooley, Hon. Mr. Maurice, the edi- tors of the Albany Argus, and a few others, we are now almost left without active co-operation in the war against the democratic free soilers and the Buffalo platform. Some of the mgst boisterous of our allies have been quieted by sugar plums; and, from our late experience, we know not how long those that now remain are to be with us. The National Democrat, the ‘Old Original Jacobs” of the democracy of this city. the late terrible organ of the hardshells, is now up, as it appears, for sale to the administration—for Cowes and a market: Vide the despatchfrom Washington which we publish this morning. Thatconcern is upfor sale, including a bonus, cash down, and a good fat office. But then there is the “real Genuine Original Jacobs,” or the True National Democrat, soft shell, in the way, And it appears that the administration are hesi- tating whether to buy them both up, and blend them into one organ, or to start a new demo- cratic paper here, to rule them both off the track. The moral of all this is a lesson from which we intend to profit. It teaches us how little of principle there is in the present wranglings of our New York democracy. and how much there is of the plunder, and the pickings end “ drip- pings” of the treasury. It is the dtvtsion of the plunder which has thus far threatened to divide the party, and which still threatens to result in a positive split on or about the 13th of Septem- ber next. The spoils have not held out, and they cannot be made to go all round. The dis- appointed and the hungry are rebellious, and they are still numerous enough to rally for a new division as soon as possible. This we may expect themto do at Syracuse or elsewhere; but we have seen enough to distrust the noisiest rebel of them all, whoever he may be. We cease to believe in their principles when they are silenced so easily by the “drippings.” They must hereafter prove their professions by their deeds, before we can assist them in grindiag their axes. This journal cannot be used as the stalking horse for the bush fighters of the democratic or any other party. They must face the music and stand the fire. That’s all. Love amon THe Roses. —It having been threatened by some of the hard-shell journals of “the rural districts,” and endorsed by the Albany Argus. that ‘Mr. Cooley, by some means, will be returned to the Senate, or re ceive the nomination, in some convention. for State Comptroller,” the Albany .4:/as is pleas- ed to rejoice in the following strains of “love among the roses”:— Cooley's arrant blackguardism, Burke's venal pen» and Maurice's under-bred swagger may suit the taste of the drgus—levelled as they are at the democracy, State and national, and the President of their choice. It ia not that to which we call attention, but to the fact proclaimed by the 4rgus that Mr Cvoley is to be returned tothe Senate “by some means,” or to re- ceive the nomination of State Comptroller “by some convention.” What are the ‘‘means,” and which the “convention?” Are the whig hold-over harbor masters and other officers to furnish Cooley with the means to make his way to the Senate over the democratic candidate? Or, failing tuat, is the whig convention to ‘nominate him tor Comptrolier? Have the finan- ciers of the Cacal Bank and the lobby-men of the Journal fixed upou Cooley as the measure of meatal and moral imbecility that they require in the Comp- troller's office? —To all of which we pause for a reply. But what will the “‘re-organized national democra- cy ” think of this love among the brethren at Albany? The Demccratic State Convention meets at Syracuse on the 13th of September. It will be, from these foreshadowings, a sublime spectacle, And why should not the brethren invite the attendance of Gen. Pierce? We are quite sure be has never yet been to Donny brook fair.

Washington Union thus speaks of the family jars at Albany:— The Albany Argus is democratic ilea of the fared vy, em up as the of its devotion to the te! . day after day, bones of freesoilism and holding of the Atlas. This is done in utter disregard of a plain pledge contained in the dem ic creed, whic! binds a good members of the party to resist the further agitation of the sla- very question. Itis done to the great gratification of whigs at home and abroad. The Albany Atlas, with a provoking nonchalance, pays no sort of attention to its exhumed produc- tions, because, as the Argus says, it has “‘substan- tial reasons, in the shape of ‘drippings of patronage from the departments at Washington,’ for maintain- ing a cautious reserve.” We had not supposed that there was so much virtne in the “drippings” amongst New York editors; and to test the matter we would be glad to see if a share of the “drippings” would soothe the angry feelings of the Argus editor, and induce him to follow the example of the 4t/as in throwing hot shot into the whig ranks, Will the 4rgus accept a small sop in the skillet and be quiet? The “drippings” are worth looking after. Is the Argus in the mar- ket, and if so what are his terms? Let us have the bargain clinched before all the fat is in the fire. Going, going—once, twice—shall we say thrice? The “drippings!” Last chance, gentle men. Will the urgus accept? Awink is as good as anod. Gone! ten to one. Knock him down. Au. THE Way rrom Sanra Fx.—We are in- formed by the Santa Fe Gazette, that “ Arch- bishop Hughes, will soon leave for Rome, there to receive the Cardinal’s hat, and that the Right Rev. Archbishop of Baltimore and the Right Rev. Bishop of Philadelphia are to offici- ate in his stead during his absence, which may be prolonged to a twelvemonth.” And this comes all the way from Santa Fe. But at present, it so happens, that instead of being at Rome, our venerable Archbishop is somewhere in the Western country, looking after the general interests of the flock. Whenhe returns, he may or he may not go to Rome; but from all appearances. the red hat of the Cardinal is indefinitely postponed. How long shall we suffer for want of a Cardinal? They have one in England. Why should the same blessing be denied unto us? They are looking for a Cardi- nal, even at Santa Fe. Talk on ’Change. The cotton market was mere active yesterday, The sales reached 2,500 bales. The market clored firm. Among the salés were 180 bal f Sea Island, which was aid to be one of the largest dsy’s transastiens in this article hitherto made inthis market. Valued at $120 per bale, it was werth $21,600, ° State brands of flour were firmer. Wheat was un- changed, while sound Southern yellow corn brought 75c. per bushel, which was an advance, It will be seen by the Trade Report that the stock of coffee, yesterday, amounted to 90,000 bags Rio, 59,000 mats of 50 Ibs. each, and 200 bags Java, and the light stock of only 7,500 bags of all other kinds, The stock of tobacco yesterday embraced 7127 hhds. of all kinds, of which 6.955 were Kentucky. The stock of American hemp was estimated at 1,100 bales, and of Manila about 17,500 bales, and of Sisal none, It was said that the contract for fitting out the six new revenue cutters had been awarded to Arthur Leary, E-q, of thia city; and that the Secretary of the Navy had issued an order, which reached here yesterday, to have the cutters Wm. L. Marcy and Jefferson ,Davis, from Bristol R. I., and the James Campbell and Robert McClelland, from Somerset, Massachusetts, removed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The vessels would be removed forthwith, and were expected to reach here in a few days. There was anxiety to know when mails would be made up in this city for California via New Orleans and Mexico, It bad been stated that the overland mail by this route would leave New Orleans onthe 4th and 18th of each month, No public notice had been given by the Post- master General regarding the making up of mails in New York to goby this route. Hope was expressed that the Toute would become permanently and successfully estab- Hiched, a» it would probably, under proper management, prove quicker ther ‘WH Sports in the Metrupolis. CAPTURE OF ANOTHER MAD OX—THE ANIMAL SHOT IN THE SPREET, WITH A RIFLE—GREAT EXCITE- MENT. Between three and four o'clock, yesterday afternoon, an infuriated ox escaped from the cattle market at the Bull’s Head, Third avenue, and ran down the avenue st fall speed, dispersing people in all directions as he travelled along. When arrivieg at the corner of Fif- teenth street, a laborer, named Patrick Kenasdy, was standing with his back towards the ox, mixing mortar; the animal at once made for poor Pat’s rear, and befors he bad warning to turn, the ox elevated him some six feet in the air, anc then passed on to other objects attract- ing his attention on ‘he street. The sffiighted laborer luckily descended softly into a bed of bis own mortar, when he exclaimed to bis comrades who came to his aid, ‘Oh! Tm kilt! Pm kilt!

Description of Articles. ‘The rush of visiters to the Crystal Palace still eon- tinues. Every day new admirers bestow fresh ence- miums upon the many specimens of art that decorate the long naves of the building. It is interesting te notice the different expressions of pleasure or dis- pleasure by the new visiters as they gaze upon the different articles exhibited. Here, one of taste and Tefinement passes before the great Thorwaldser statues, and in the excellent sarving of the Apostolic group he perceives the flash of genius, from one of the great masters. Another, more practical in hia views, thinks a great deal of work was bestowed upon them, but they occupy an insignificant position in his imagination, in comparison with the ploughs, fanning mills and patented broom handles, which he has minutely examined, inspected, and criticized. Still another, affected more by the idea this group embodies than by either their material utility or artistic excellence instinctively feels, whea he looks upon them, “ that he stands on holy ground,” and in obedience tothe “ silent monitor” he raises his hat and stops in mute and solemn admiration among the almost speaking evangelists. Now comes one who is influenced neither by appreciation of the meritorious statuary, by the progress of invention, nor by instruction of Hily Writ. He saunters about. as if “ monarch of all he surveyed,” and with per- fect freedom kicks the statuary, pulls down the vel- vets, and thumps the mosaic, to the great horror of the exhibitor and annoyance of the policemen, and finally comes to the couclusion that ‘“ Marochetti’s Washington and Kiss’s Amazon are much toolarge to be true; that “ he wouldn’t carry home ther old guns from the Tower to have them,”and that the enly things he saw worth noticing were the cradle that rocked by machinery, and the different stands of the hatters and the wizmakers. Thus each one has his preferences and his own opinions, and thus is the great artist set down as a drone, the Tower as morely a receptacle for old iron, and the whole exhibition ae ascheme to make money. But while each article is passed, more or less ad” mired,the musical piano especially attracts the atten” tion of all. There is almost continually a crowd around the music, and all are anxious to know how the thing is done. We admit this isan instrament somewhat curious, and probably destined to revolu- tionize the musical world. Any one who can turn a. crank can make his own music, and almost any tune can be played that is fancied. The different airs are arranged with wire teeth upon a flat board, and one can purchase, as now, what he wishes to play, and grind the music with his own hands. We under- stand that this kind of music might be purchased according to the most general rules of trade, by yards, feetand inches. If we are to record the mu- sic by English measure, then we should say, that to, day, while in the Palace, we beard a yard of Yankee Doodle, and about two yurds and a half of the over- ture to William Tell. Music teachers, no doubt, con- demn this invention. Several packages were received to-day from the ship Centaur, which will immediately ‘be opened. Among those received are several forthe Italian department, some of them bveiug groups of statuary, in which Italy particularly excels. A fine portrait of Padre Gavazzi, by Guiseppe Fagnani, has been added to the paintings of Italy, and is much ad- mired by the friends of the reverend exile. The admirers of articles belonging to antiquity’ will be pleased to learn that the armor from the: Tower has all been handsomely arranged around the foot of the stairway of the British department, each piece labelled with its date and use. It is peculiarly interesting to look upon these relics of the past, and reflect that many of them, probably, have done good service at the battle of Poictiers, Barnet, or Catesby. The ponderous armor and coats of mail, the immense helmets aud vizors, impress one with an idea of the piysival strength of those steel clad warriors whose hi-twiy is made romantic by the tales of a Cour de Lion, u Wallace, and a Warwick. Tn the Danish department a piece of statuary has been added, called “Adium and Eve After Sinning.”” The artist is Professor Jerichau, who is said to be one of the most promising artists of the present day. The group is much noticed. Asa matter of course, thieves and pickpockets would make the Crystal Palace their haunt as mach as possible. Yesterday au Evylish thief was “ spot- ted” through the vigilance of the police, and locked up for cafe keeping. All vi-iters would do well to be on their guard against these light flugered gentry. Some contributions were re che iterday, from California, which will soon be displayed for public examination. Among the articles, we heard of some specimens of their natural productions, and was told that heads of wheat will be shown measuriug some twenty inches in length, and containing overeighty grains. All will examine with much satisfaction the contributions indicative of the natural powers of this State, the latest addition to tue national family. ADMISSIONS AND It Bingle tickets.

At the head of the stairs in this department has. been placed within a few days a plastic model, which is calculated both tu interest and excite the risibili- ties of all spectators. 1 is an illustration from Dean Swift's history of Gulliver's travel-—is about four feet long and two and u waif wide, and contained in a glass case. This is tie work of A. Fleischmann, an Englishman, but the work being made in Ger- many, it is located among tie German contributions. Gulliver, shipwrecked and thrown upon a distant island called Lilliput, awakes by the movements of the little inhabitauts on aid around his person, and finds himself fastened to the ground by the queue of his hair, his fingers und his teet. His mujesty, the King of the Lilliputs, is petitioned by the State and clerical dignitaries and civic authorities to take im- mediate steps for removing the giant frum the island. ‘The little inhabitants ure engaged in all minners of work; some are drawing up the troops, all uniformed. and equipped; others are leading on an army of ar- chers against the side of the giant; others, again, pierce him with thew spears and arrows, and all are as busy as bees. The model represents Gulliver as waking in the midst of these operations; and part of the Lilliputians seeing tiie mouth and eyes opened, and moving, are struck with horror, and take to flight. Some are tumbling down his sides, some are scampering from his pockets, and all present a lu- dicrous picture of dismay. The figure of Gulliver is well executed, and the whole design admirably portrays this idea of the celebrated Swift. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT. PLUUGHS. A great variety of ploughs are on exhibition, many of which are new inventions, This is one of the most important implements of the farmer's use. Since the birth of our country, great changes have been made in the plough, aris- ing from the different wants, on account of the continual alteration of the surface of our soil. The early eettlers bad to contend with many obstructions to cultivation, existing in and upon the soil, on account of its rude state. To meet these diffi culties were wanted ploughs with very short mould boards, of abrupt cuxyatare, wad carryiag shallow and wide furrows. ‘These primitive obstacles are removed; but in the course of events, new difficulties have arisen from the custom of superticial tillage, The soil of the oldest and most cultivated States has become thin and exhausted of fertility, aud is susceptible to the iniluence of drought, On cecount of this it has be- come necessary to ploush deeper and deeper, until now it isa common thing for agriculturists to desire ploughs capable of working even twelve inches deep, or more, The varie\y of changes in cultivation have always given the plough # paramount importance, being best calculated to mect these different wants. Of those on exbibition we noticed some extremely simple in theis make, aud culvulated to auswog tue
