There were indications at the Palace yesterday that the two millions we spoke of the day before, ‘B85 expected to visit it, had commenced pouring in. During the forenoon the crowd was very large, which ended to enliven the appearance of the exhibition, “Bvery nave and section swarming like a hive of bees. Phe thousands of our country friends who are now @elaying their visit to the Palace, with the belief that at some future day it will be more complete and interesting, may now dispel any such idea, and come fn immediately. There are a few articles yet to be received and Brranged; but, in such a linge collection, these addi- tions would hardly be noticed. There is enough dis- played already to warrant the commencement of the Journey of the most distant visiter. w ~ WOOLLEN FABRICS. The term wool is not very well defined. It is ap- plied both to the fine hair of animals—as sheep, rab- | bits, some species of goats, the vicuna, and some times to fine vegetable fibres, as cotton. In this arti ole, however, we refer only to the wool of sheep, which has continued, from the earliest period down to the present day, to be of primary importance, having always formed the principal part of the cloth- \ng of mankind. It has been,customary to divide wool into two great classes—long and short wools; and these again intgg subordinate ‘clacses, according to the fineness of the fibre. In sorting wools, there are frequently eight or ten different species in a single feece; and if the best wool of one fleece is not equal to the finest sort, it is thrown to a second, third, or fourth, or to a stili lower aort, ofan equal degree of fineness with it. Short woolis used in the cloth manufacture, and is, therefore, frequently called clothing wool. It may vary in length from one to four inches; but if it be longer, it requires to be cut for the manufacturer. The wool for cloths is carded, spun, woven, and then fulled. The piece subjected to the operation contracts in length and breadth, ard its texture be- omes more compact and uniform, which is essential to the beauty and strength of woollen cloth. The wool of which hats are made is neither spun nor woven, but locks of it being thoroughly inter- mixed and compressed in warm water, mits together and forms a solid, tenacious substance. For fine cloths the softness of the fibre is a quality of great importance; it is not dependent upon the ineness of the fibre, but consists of a peculiar feel, approaching ‘y tothat of silk or down. The difference in the value ; of. two pieces of cloth of different kinds of wool, * equally fine—one being distinguished for its softness, and the other for the opposite quality—is sush that, with the same process and expense of manufacturing, « the one will be worth from twenty to twenty-five per _, ¢ent more than the other. - The color of the fleece should always approach as Zeer as possible to white, because such wool is not S.onty necessary for cloths which are dressed white, 4: but for such as are to be dyed bright colors, for which a clear white ground is required to give a due degree of richness and lustre. ; , Wool-growing is a large American interest. The New England States are, for the most part, better adapted to grazing than agricultare, and large quantities of wool are annually produced there, as well as in Ohio and other Western States, al- though the article produced isnot thought, by the best judges, to equal the European. A very great change has taken place within the tourse of the present century, both as respects the quantity of wool imported into England and the ad- ditional number of countries from whence it is de- rived. Previous to the year 1800, their average im- ports did not much exceed 20,000 bales, mostly brought from Spain, the wool of which had long maintained a high character.

Brisk, steamer, 14 guns, imports amounted to 42,000 bales, and they have since gone on gradually increasing, till the importa- tions for the year ending 1852 amounted to the enor- mons number of 325,696 bales. The importation of German wool was quite trifling during the war, amounting, in 1812, only to 28 lbs.; but, sinee the peace, it has increased beyond ail pre- eedent. ze year “ 1814, there were imported 9,807 bales. 1820, she ad 14,609 “ 1825, 82,284“ But this being a year of overtrading, it declined the following year to 30,219 bales. Reviving from this depression, in 1833 it amounted to 72,776 bales; but for the year 1852 it deelined again to 36,114 bales. The introduction of merino sheep seems to suc- ceed better in Saxony and other German Btates than in Spain, and it increased so ra- pidly that the Spanish wool trade soon beeame insignificant, compared with that of Germany. ‘The present decrease in the importation of German wools into England, has been amply supplied from Australia, where the breed of sheep which was car- tied out to New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, has succeeded beyond the most sanguine ex- pectation; the importations for the year 1852, from Australia, amounted to 145,767 bales. The importance of woollen manufactures may be fairly estimated from the variety and number of the articles displayed in the great industrial exhibition. Undoubtedly the most novel specimens of woollen manofactures, are the cloth finished beaver, fur bea- vers,and summer elastics, manufactured by the Mesers. Carrs, of Tiverton, England, and exhibited by F.Derby & Co., of this city, as proprietors; fab- tics which combine the waterproof quality with permeability to perspiration, cOhstituting a very important advance in woollen manufactures. We need scarcely remark that the softness, beauty, and richness of these fabrics are all that the most Inxu- vious can desire; they were manufactured for F. Derby & Co., expressly for exhibition, and are said to be the first and only samples in this country. They are intended for overcoats, and the ex- hibitors assure us the same are rendered im- pervious to rain of many hours’ daration, al. though perfectly free for perspiration. These gentlemen also exhibit a case showing the wool from which the specimens of patent milled goods are manufactured, in its various stages, from the fleece to the finished beaver cloth, which will prove highly interesting to the public ; also, a case ‘containing a strip cut from one of the pieces of black beaver cloth, laid over an open frame, with water poured on it; thus practically testing the water proof qualities of their goods. In the American department, F'. Derby & Co. ulso exhibit Amorican black broadcloths, made from American wool, by Samuel Slater & Sons, which will favorably compare with the best English and Fronchfabrics. We noticed several other excellent specimens of cloth, which bore the American manu- facturer’s name, which, we were informed, were ex- presely ordered for the Crystal Palace, and were made from American wools, such oa the manufac- turer happened to have on hand when the order was \ received. This wool was, perhaps, as fine as ang grown in the country, but being the fine, sorted from many different lote, grown in different parts of the # country, it was not equal in its felting properties to the wool from the best flocks. The warp yarn from which these cloths are made was spun 16,800 yards to the pound, and the filling, 4'92,400 yards; each square yard containing 3,972 ¢ threads of warp, and 4,100 threads of filing. ‘The coloring and finish of these goods are guaran- | teid to be equally as permanent as the best French “ “ ' Nerbuddar, brig. 12.

She left Eastport on the morning of the 2d and arrived here on the morning of the 4th, after two break downs, from ‘breaking the spring of the cut-off, After one of these let downs, she had to return tothe anchorage she had just left, and remain there eight hours repairing, before she could move. How des, tructive to'the efficiency of a cruiser in these waters such delays are can be readily inferred, from the fact that fogs prevail most of the time, during which it is unsafe to na- vigate, and that it is necessary for safety and the prose, cution of the voyage, to profit by any hour of daylight: With the alterations made by Mr. Martin, she is now able to go eight knots per hour, under the most favorable circumstances, but consuming coal in a manner most trnly gluttonoue. They say on board they expect her to break down semi-daily, and that their ex- pectations are seldom disappointed. The fact is she isa failure—an American abortion, for other nations to laugh at and profit by. Let Young America put this in her pipe and smoke it. When are we to have an engi- neer in-chief?

Wasminctor, August 11,§1853, Tt is stated in well informed quarters here, that, up to the present time, the government has received no official confirmation of the rumored agreement between Eogland 4 Spain fer the abolishment of slavery in the island of Cuba; but, at the same time, very little doubt iy felt an to the reliability of the information on this subject published in the Hgraup. There can be no question, frcm the manner in which the intelligence has been received here, but that the President will take high ground against the whole proceedings. I+ is by far the most important movement which has taken Place for years, affecting, as it will, if pormittad to be carried out, not only American interests generally, but the lives as well as property of the people of the Southern Sta! It is not improbable that such evi- dences of bad faith on the part of both Eagland and e e if the general government felt disposed to permi’ this underhand policy of England to go on, which if has no disposition whatever to do, the Southern States alone would be sufficient, in spite of the efforts of the federa} administration, to sweep from this continent all vestiges of Spanish power. It will, however, be found that Presi- dent Pierce will be fully up to public opinion in this matter. LORD STIRLING’S CLAIMS TO THE FISHERIES. Wasnincton, August 11—10 P, M.

That standerd ban been desecrated by the enemies above de- scribed, who are seeking to surmount it with the Roman Faglo, the insignia of foreign conquest.
