d THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Derertytion of artkles-oAmestcan, Uish, ar@ Mnglbh Oepacimesats, ‘Wotling new ocourred yesterday in the great mu- feu of industry. The packages which fill the southern nave Iny untouched, and the section appro- priated to the Gobelin and Sevres porcelain was clos- Odand silent. The only evidence of progress towards ‘Pompleting the Palace, was tho carrying of palutiugs 4nt0 the picture gallery, commenced yesterday. We Madticcd ‘sotne days ago that the picture galtery was fready, and it wes announced at the Palace, by the llicials of the exhibition, trat on Friday last the hatiging of the paintlags wouldttake place; but, ag weusl,a great Cclay was attendant upon this work, and probably not till the latter part of the woek will ‘the hanging of the paintings commence. We exam- wed a few of the works carried into the gallery, and found some of them to be really of great merit and Artistic excellence. But we are sorry to say that g@iany, ond we may add, very many of them, were were davbe, not fiteven for a place in a common wroggcry or barber’s shop. We hope that some dis @iiminatioa will be exercised on the part of the @ixectors, in admitting works to this gallery. It aught to be made the receptacle of those worka the most eclect and admirable; if these caunct be had, Br are nit contributed, why, then close up this por fon of the exhibition. A fine gullery of paintings, collected with taste and judgment, will bo aaia- menee altraction of the great exhibition ; but an amalgamated mass of pictures, mere daubs, with uly here and there a musterpicce, will dewact from, more than it will add to, the Crystal Palace. Tie Valece was lighted up for the first time last evening und presented an clegant appearance, the dome baving an areal lightning that was moat im- posing. The wsclew of visiters during yesterday were 6s, AMERICAN DEPARTMEN CE. FISHING TACKLE. f There is alarge avount of fishing tackle ta the ce, which duly find crowds Piebing polos of the most beautital fi 0 temptinnly baited that fish could hardly re bite, delight the eyes of the modera Izaak Waltons who daily crowd arouud them.

Mr. Pritchard was for many years a cartier of the New Yous Henanp, and like hun- e2ed5 of Lis brethven im tits occupation, by fragality aud ind eequired 8 suflicient competency to Getablish bitosel! iu this buciness of manvfaoturing fishing tackic,in which he bids falr to take the lead, Nothing could be mace more Leautiful and metural than the tempting tish baita of artificial flies whieh Bir. Pritchard displays iu the Palace. His ce4e is in the gatlery over the end of the north nave. Our readers W be surprised to know what amount of eapital is involved in this branch of trade. There fave sovers! large stores in this city, giving employ- wont t an immense number, in the manufacture of Muese articles. Those who delight in the sport of fishing—saud no manevinces good taste and judgment who dves not—eaunot refase to call aud examine the @izplay of Mr. Pritchard in those instrumeate which cohance very much the pleasure of this PRU MCA. IRISH DEPARTMENT. LacE WORK. Ireland is vary noted for her linen manufactures, wifich we have heretofore referred to in full, She also is celebrated for ber lace work and sewed m13- Tinjmanufactores, surpassed probably by no other pation in tho world. In the English department, in the gallery, a large glass case is filled with speci- mens of Irish lace work, which cannot but interest Shelady visiters to the Palace, equal to anything clve tm exhibition. Capes, dresses, cloaks, shawls, bon nets, of lace and lace embroidery, excite the admira Mion of all the females who sce them.

It was not uu- , til tid dottcr half of the eightoonth century that + Plandertes were generally known. Vrevious to that time ve hear only of spinettes, clavichords, and harp- | sichariis. ‘Ti fxst account we have of the plano, was in ~ 3716;hen s man named Marius, presented to the Acadwiy of Sciences, in Paris, a clavicin whose etzing vibrated with hammers insicad of plectrams, ‘Two pars after, Christoforo, as Florence, introdaced @ome iirther improvements.

The news is important. (Yiom the 3 Taomas Times, August 6 } We deterred giving an acoount in our last of the melancholy scenes wi were then being enacted in the neighboring Iedand of Tortola,iu order avoid the ty of placing before the public misstatements. whica couid easily have happened at & time when the minds of the unfortunate victims who were escaping from the hands of the incendiary and the murderer, and arriving bere, must ustarally have been excited and agitated, and, as a cunse- quence, matters mey have appeared w them in a more exegeerated (orm than wus really the cave. A calmer lovestigation of the cirei oes have not, however, modified the exormity of guilt which has, in a few days, been rated by the countey palation of Tortola on fuhahitants of Road ‘own, in that island. Bat previously to our giving ‘a description of the fearful ucts which were commit- ted in the town, it may be pioper for us to allude to the causes, however slender, which actuated tho country people to give vent to their unourbed pas some Lore y Kec ty ys resources to commit which are revoiting to humanity, and opposed tofthe lawa of God and man. Slag ‘Yt would pear that some time in the month of June last a bill paseed the Legishutare of that island increasing the tux on cattle twelve couts a head, meking the new tux thirty six ceuts in place of twenty-four eents, which was the former tax. This additions! tax is said to have been laid on in order to ruise en amonnt of moncy to place ia proper con- dition the poorhouse, which was in a very dilupidat- ed state. From the period the law was ¢ ancied, the country poptlation continued to viow it with a bad grace, and were frequently heard to say that whon ever the tax came tu be paid they would resist it. The first of August was the day d for tie pay- ment of the rural taxes of Tortola, and on that diy (Monapy) a number of the country people went into town, ana proceeded to the Treasury, where they tendered the original tex of one shitting ste which was refused by the treasurer, who at th time told theui that if they bad not the whole of tax, they bad until the 10th of the nunth tw pay it, and they could accordingly return home and measeres for raimpg the deficit. Li’ we ar rectly informed, and we have endeavored to gaia our information om more sources than on refaral to pay the t+x did not arise so mac insbilty as an inclination to resist its payment; aad, theretore, the advice givea them by the ‘rea surer Was recetyed distastetully, and & doul of pelaver ensued, which not being to the it, nor of vny concert to tue ‘Treasurer, who had vot made the law, he dewred the people, in peremptory toue, to leave hiv office, which they refused to do; and two of the men caring t him to have the most to say, eud beh : Gut of ail order, he sought to put them cut of bis ciice, When baey resivted and str: i eeveral Llows; upon bois he called in two constabics, who conveyed the two men belore a Justice of the Peace, and be sentenced teem to pay a fine of £1 sterling each, or to go to jail for twenty days— and as they re‘ured to pay the fine they were taken to jail. Yhbe whole body then repaired to Govern ment House, and demanded of the Executive the immediate release of the prisonors; to this demand they wore told to potition, and it their cause was @ just ono the prisoners sould be released. This being a unsativactory reply, they stated that they wou'd thomselves proceed to the jail and rescue the prisoners, which throut they were not long in carrying into execution. Tuy, therefore, seized tho jailor, beat bim uomervitully, forced open the doors of the prison, and all the prisoners, among whom were some most abandoned churasters, left to vo at large. The corstabulary force in the meantime repaired to the vicinity of the jail, and finding the amount of aggrossion committed, sct to with staves, when a most revere conflict ensued, in which both parties received severe injuries, the country people appearing to a small extent to have given way, but stated that they would proceed to the country for a reinforcement, and would rctura and set fire to the town in every quarter. The President. apprehending that much cdaager was at hand, addressed an official note to our Goveraor, and despatched it with a special messenger; who reached here on Tuesday at 5 A.M, wherein he asked for the sid of some of our miitary, and also addressed a note to J. [3. Cameron, Esq , Superin- tencent of R. M. 8. P. Company bere, requesting thet a steamer might be pied at the disposal of our goverument to convey the soldicrs up.

Jt would be next to an impossibility for us to at- tempt to dezeribe with conciseness the events which took place when the town was being fired—as the most conflicting and heart rendiag statements are connected therewith. It is enough to say that tie country people deliberately brought in their bandles of straw; and-after the first attempt of resistance of- fered them by the inhabitants of the town, when one man was killed and several soverely wounded, they commenced forcing the arsenal, or place where the government arms were kept, which they soon emptied, but as Providence would have it, neither powder nov balia could be found there ; it was then evident that the rebels were in fall possession. and every member of the town sought to make his or her escape with all possible speed. -in doing 60, the incidents are varied, painful and — many people arriving ere maimed ard cut up, others with the bare suit on their backs, and some without any clothing at all. Colonel Chads, how- ever, mapfully and bravely refased to desert his post; and even wi matters geow po grave that Mrs. Chada and danghters were, incelf-preservation, com- bat to fly, they beseeched the Colonel to leave hem, bat his calm Fry wes, “Tam a soldier, and I intend to die one.” only other persons in ac- thority who remained in the town are Justices Had- dock and Pringle—the former with his famih having taken refagze at government-honse.
