LONDON, FRIDAY. AUGUST G. The result of the serious consideration" given by the Many Administration to the American Fisheries question iv, it seems, after all, another of J.ord MALMESBERI'S blunders. For the ignorance and incapacity of the Forams SECRETARY are really fathomless. Others to learning make some faint pretence; Bat SIIAUWELL nrvrr deviates into MISC. In the debate of the American Senate, which we fully reported yesterday, it was stated by Mr. MASOX, the Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations, that amongst the documents he had seen was a despatch addressed by Lord MALMESIIVRT to Sir JOHN PALINGTOX advising the Cot.om SECRETARY that it was resolved to expel by forte of arms the New England fishers from the Buy of Fundy, and requiring the Colonial-othco to take measures to procure concert between the British naval force and the colonial authorities. Here then we have the Foaxtux MlNtsrrat as the moving agent in what Mr. WEBSTER properly calls this " entire change of policy." Lord MAl.stvsinuttr was, therefore, bound to have kept tho Cabinet fully informed of all that had passed be tween his department and the American government on this subject, and to have stated precisely and accurately the actual diplomatic position of the ques tion. But this, it is clear, Lord MALMESBURT has not done. We say, clear; because in Sir Joitx PARIXO- Tox's circular of 'Nth of May, 1832, addressed to the Llovernors of all the British North American colonies, and conveying to them the result of " the serious consideration" given to the question by the Cabinet, the COLONIAL SLCRETART announces that Ike Majesty's ministen ars desiring of reasoving all grounds of complaint on the part of the colonies, in cower geese* of the neerceseliments of the fishing steeds of the limited States upon those waters from which they ars ex cluded by the terms of the convestioa of 11118. Now the "encroachments" referred to were the fishing of the New England States in the Bay of Fundy ; and the immediate consequence of this despatch of 26th of May was that about the 27th of July last the Milne smack Coral wee seized by a British truiser off the Grand Mcnan, just opposite its ow. port, but in the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. %Vetere emit ed from these facts to inter that Lord Ilauirsitt tir, as the guardian of our foreign rela tions, had advised and assured the Cabinet that there was nothing in our relations with the United States which at all interfered with, or suspended the exer cies of, the extreme view which his colleagues were otherwise prepared to adopt of the reetricticms on American fishing contained in the Treaty of Ghent. And yet Mr. WEBSTER has caused to be pub lished in • Boston journal • despatch from Mr. Eveacrr, when American Minister at this Court, to Mr. BUCHANAN, Secretary of State at Wash ington, dated 20th April, 1843, in which it is stated that Lord MAMMY -N, as the Foreign Secre tary of the PEEL administration, had, on the 10th of March, 1843, addressed a formal note to Mr. EVE RITT, "communicating the important information Mat this (the British) government had come to the &deregulation to concede to Americas, fishermen the right of pursuing their occupation within the Bay of )Lady." And Mr. Evanerr goes on to state that being doubtful whether the concession contained in Lord AneaDeres note did not extend to other por tions of the coast of British North America, he had made inquiries of Lord Miestnats, and that his lord ship had replied that the further concessions were under the consideration of the Colonial-office, adding " in the meantime the concession must be understood to be limited to the Bay of Fundy." Nothing, therefore, is plainer than that, in the spring of 1843, Sir ROBERT Paat's administration did, by a formal diplomatic instrument, addressed to the American government, relax the severity of the Treaty of Ghent, so far as the Bay of Fundy was concerned, and concede to the American fishers the right of "pursuing their occupation" therein. This relaxation and concession have entirely altered the question, and have deprived " the occupation " of the American fishers in the Bay of Fundy of the cha racter of " encroachments." which the DERBY cabi net has so insolently applied to them. Did Lord MALBEBBURT bring this note of Lord ABERDEEN under "the serious consideration of the cabinet"? It is plain he could have done no such thing; for the note was binding on the government of the United Kingdom, however composed; and Lord Denut and his colleagues could never dare to disregard its obligation on this country and the rights it conferred on the United States, had they known of its existence. With what safety can the administration of oar foreign affairs be trusted for other four-and twenty hours to Lord MALMESBURT after this disclosure? With the tools of his trade spread out before him, the man is mare to take up the wrong implement; and in his attempt to be very clever, he disgraces and discredits England in every quarter of the globe. In mercy to the Empire, and to the Monarchy, let somebody be sent for. Come who may, let us get rid of Lord bLiuteasuat. And with this formal and twice-repeated conces sion of a right to fish in the Bay of Fundy, given diplomatically to the American government and re corded in the Foreign-odice, the BIBBY Cabinet— without the slightest notice to the American govern ment—despatch thirteen ships of war, carrying 130 goes, in command of Admiral Seemovit, into the Bay of Fundy, to expel the American fishers thence. In the whole history of Europe there is no parallel to such a proceeding—it is both • blunder and a crime. For what do thirteen armed ships in any bay, turn ing out end expelling smacks that have acquired "the right of pursuing their occupation" therein, mean but Insult, outrage, and war? Peace, it is clear, is not safe in the binds of this DERBY clique ; or if maintainable, it must be by the humiliation of a great country rushing headlong into *mbar ferments, whence it can only escape by apologies and excosee. All this is too bad to last " WANTED a safe man for Derby." The want grows daily more apparent. Never woe an unlucky Premier so beset with unsafe men on all hands. Lareris dog, Crab, had not a more wayward genius for getting into scrapes and committing hie master, than have the Drina satellites in all departments. If we look to the Ministry there we have Mr. WAlle POLE, M,jor BEBTAITORD, Lord MALIIEBBUBT com peting with each other who shall most effectually compromise his " Master"—es the Major calls Lord NOWT. If we look to the electioneering agents, we have Mr. FRAIL, with unpardonable carelessness, allowing a letter of the moot delicate import to be handed about the country and Mr. MORGAN allow ing himself to be markt sa easily as a Penguin or Turn Nudely. If we look to the press, friendly jour nalists seem to be bent upon writing their Macznas down. Mr. DICKENR, as most part of our English world know, indulged last week in a jeu (leaped which he entitled "The Honourable Member for Verbosity." It was a playful burlesque upon electioneering ora tory; some features were palpably borrowed from the great author of "looming in the distance;" but duo care was taken—as beeeemed • paper destined to appear in a non-political journal—to avoid the bad taste of converting a general satire into an un friendly personal portrait. Many doubtless sailed at certain passages, and said "That's DISRAELI ;" but no one could or did my that the " Honourable Member for Verbosity " wee a type of the Derbyite ministry—perhaps Lord Dritires Citineettoa of the Ettiiretta him self. At least no one was so ill-natured till yesterday, when a grave morning journal republished the burlisiiiic with • superscription of its owt..—. " This is one of Lord Deicer's cabinet." " An enemy has done this," says the reader. N o suc h thi ng : t h e wicked fitter of the cap thrown up by Mr. DICKENS. OE the head of a Derbyite is the most t hiaced uncompromising supporter of the DERBY • in the press—the journal which some look upon as the Ministerial organ. But the blunder, of this most " unsafe" journalist do not stop here. Not satisfied with tag that the Honourable Member for Verbosity is the representative man of the tlinitnx cabinet— that it is vain for Moan, to &UJ it seeing the likeness is so striking—our venerable contemporary proceeds to take Mr. 1/tenors to task, for totem insinuated one groundless charge against Dentiv's government. " Mr.lltexr.xs," exclaims our venerable and irate contemporary, " has been led to make the following unjustifiable, because utterly unfounded attack." " One cannot help hoping," he lacrimosely and charitably adds, " that Mr. DICKENS, when he wrote these lines really believed what he was writing.' And then waxing indignant and magniloquent, the Deese journalist proceeds to declare that there is " not a word of truth in the whole story t" that it is but a " repetition of a shame less fabrication." And what is this terrible story ? " The noblemen and gentlemen whom our honourable friend sup ported had 'come in' expressly to do a certain thing." Dante Quiekly's indignation when Sir John 111104 enlls her "a thing," is but • faint type of the horror, dismay, and wrath with which our contempo rary is inspired by the mendacious imputation against Lord DeanY ana his colleagues, that they come in "to do a certain thing." Like the worthy and garru lous dame, our contemporary shouts at the top of his lungs " What thing, thou naughty varlet, what thing ?" And solemnly declares that Lord DERBY and his colleagues did not come in to do anything; that it is cruel, that it is scan. mug., that it is blas phemy (for aught we know) to maintain the contrary. Poor Lord Dzatiz. In the days of Pore there was a " gentle Dulness," who " loved a joke." But the Dulness from among whose sons, and sectaries, and followers Lord DERBY has been obliged to re cruit his ranks, is of a more obtuse nature, or more mor,se . The DEBBY Dulness cannot tolerate a joke, cannot even apprehend one. Witness Mr. WALroLE, who took his Pazmiza's joke about • militia suffrage as a grave ex pression of opinion, and forthwith, with intolerable stolidity, worked it up into a formal par liamentary notice of motion. Witness the Marquis of BLANDFORD aghast at the daring profanity of Mr. BERNAL OsBORNE jesting about things so sacred as steeple-haunting dews. IVitness, though last, not least, our venerable contemporary gravely taking up the cudgels of argument against a joke by Mr. IMCKENB,—a blundering excess of zeal unprecedented except by Dun Quizole's onslaught on the _puppets, or the zealous Puritan's (in BEN J °NOON'S " Bartholomew Fair") controversy with a puppet anent the sinfulness of men masquerading in female apparel. The dismay with which witty and accomplisW men like Lord DERBY and Mr. Dia- ILA ELI must look round them, when any of their awkward squad (ministers, members of parliament, electioneering agents, journalists), venture to open their lips may more easily be imagined t ha n described. The last of these well-meaning, but certainly not "safe" servitors, who has uplifted his voice—speaking like BALAAN'S inspired servitor with human articulate organ, but not so much to the purpose—has " written down" the Derbyite cabinet ' as " members for Verbosity," and proclaimed them a set of faineants who "came in" to do nothing. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENINBff, AUGUST 6, 1852 =rally speaking, walked over die course. The ac masaa received to-day sue of Ore same elearester as those d yesterday. In moat of the loalkine the vase #eren to the successful candidata have oely Jest exceeded the strict number required by law. At ax the elections are void in all the six mutton& In thethree cantons of Toulouse little more than a seventh-part of the electors voted. Thus, in all the principal cities of France the same feeling has been manifested. The government has had two defeats in the Pas de-Calais, and three' in the &utile. In the I.oiret the legitimist candidates have neatly balanced those of the government. In the Eure NI. Seraphin Leconte, who was opposed by the prefec ture, has been elected. In the same department, and for a canton where the election has not been com pleted, M. Claude Gree-Filay, who after the 2nd December was subjected to triternetrienr, and after wards amnestied, had more votes than the official candidate. Immediately after the ballot the perfect of the Fore had him arrested, and transferred again to the place fixed upon for the isrernenial. In such a manner is the " sovereignty " of universal suffrage respected. The article, which I mentioned yesterday as mro ceeding from the pen of M. Ouizot, with the heading of " Cromwell, scra-t-il Roi ?" appearsin the Assemblee Naliesusk, with the signature of that statesman. It would be difficult to cite a more ingenious instance of historical allegory. M. Ouirot takes, as it were, the skin of Cromwell, and stuffs it into the shape of Louis Napoleon. 'fhe personages who figure about the French President find their portraits in the cour tiers of the English Protector. The schism of the legislative and executive powers, and the tendency of public opinion to side with the latter; the flirta tion of thu royalists with the chief of the common wealth ; the support of religious parties, and adhe sion of some of the most fanatical republicans, fur nish so many points of contact for hanging and adopting the thin disguise. The whole composition professes to be a chapter:of M. Guixot's inedited his tory of tho English Commonwealth, but wes evi dently written tyre , ' coup. The fragment begins by introducing the protector as not indisposed to negotiate with some of the royalist chiefs for the restoration of the king, perhaps more with the view of amusing and gaining them to his own ambitious views than of re-establish ing the monarchy in the person of one whose father he had destroyed, and whose elevation must neces sarily have crushed him. You will remember, uo doubt, in reading this passage of M. Guisot's cypher, the portion of (langarnier's letter which discloses the attempt of the Elyse* to enlist him under the pretence of preparing the accession of the Count do Chambord. Cromwell at that epoch last no occasion of conciliating the leaders of the royalist party. Thus, on the death of Lord Beauchamp, he sent Sir Edward ,Sydenham to present his condolence to the Marquis of Hertford on the loss of his eldest son. So Louis Napoleon despatches his sympathetic regrets to Frohaderf on the death of the Duchene d'An gooleme, and establishes masses in the mortuary chapel of Louis XVI. on the fatal 21st Jan. Needless here to compare the Protector clearing the parlia ment-house, bidding his lictors remove that bauble (pointing to the speaker's mace), and putting the keys into his pocket, with Louis Napoleon dispersing the Assembly with the bayonets of Colonel Espinasse. Cromwell purged his new parliament with the hal berds of Colonel Pride ; Louis Napoleon employs his prefects to put his opposition candidates out of the way, applying the rake before instead of after the elections, and thus evading a collision with that suf frage which is his main engine. For the rest, it is easy for the intelligent reader to trace throughout this clever metschronism the chief features of the career of Louis Napoleon. I sent by submarine telegraph the news of the death of Count d'Orsay. The count had been ill for aln time from an affection of the spine, which caused intense suffering, but it was only lately that his life was considered in danger. Ili, physicians ordered him to Dieppe, but his health, instead of im proving there, became much worse, and, on his re turn to Paris some days since, no hope was enter tained of his recovery, disease of the lungs having been added to the original malady. The regret which this death causes will be deeply felt by all the nu merous friends of the deoeiresd in France and in Eng land ; in all ranks of society and all classes of poh- Haien.. In London, Gore-house was always open to all political exiles, whether they were called Louis Bonaparte or Louis Blanc, to all the shipwecked of fortune, and to all the illustrations of art and science. In England, Count d'Orsay became acquainted with Prince Louis Napoleon, and soon alter the arrival of the Prince in Frusta be fixed his own residence in Paris. tie was spoken of several times for diplomatic office, for which be was well qualified, but the Prince President finally selected him for a post for which hie peculiar attainments sal refined taste so eminently qualified him. He was appointed superintendent of the fine arts, with a handsome salary ; but be was not fated long to enjoy this mark of the appreciation in which he was held by Louis Napoleon. He was no servile counsellor of the Prince. Before the 2nd of December nobody made greater or more reiterated efforts for a policy of a different course ; and, after the 2nd of December no man exerted himself more to assuage the stroke of proscription. His death is an irreparable loss for the arts and for artists; but it is a still more irreparable loss for the cause of truth and for the President of the Republic, who can ill afford to spare a man who boldly tells him the truth. WM Duke and Duchene of Orammont have given notice that the funeral of Count d'Orsay, brother-in law of the former, and brother o f the latter, is to take place to-morco w at Chanaboarcy, near St. Ger main. M. Tony Johannot, the well-known painter, died suddenly, of apoplexy, while leaving his club yester day. He was only 48 years of age. Dr. VEron publishes to-day has third chapter of " La France Nouvelle." He m still upon the subject of finance. He now develops a plan for raising a large sum of money, by means of a stamp upon manufactured articles, to be issued only by theme who may voluntarily apply for it, the inducement being a government recognition of the genuineness of the manufacture. Among the various episodes of the fete of the 15th may be mentioned the marriage of fourteen young men and the same number of young girls chases among poor but respectable families in the webs arrondissements of Paris, and the two rural arron dissements of the department of the Seine. A dowry of 3,000 fr., besides a trousseau, will be given by the ' city and the state to each married couple. The plan for the section of the railway round Paris comprised between the terminus of the titres ' berg railway and the commencement of the tunnel at Belleville hu just received the approbation of the council general of the Pont, ct-Chaussees. This section is about two kilometres in length. It com prises a series of nine works of art, consisting of bridges or viaducts over different roads and streets, and over the Canal de l'Ourcq. The expense of Vases works is estimated at about 700,000 fr. At the Bonne the Foar.and.a-Half per Cents, fell 45e., and closed at 104.95; the Threes fell 55c., and closed at 75.60.

ROMAN STATES. Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 31st July, states that the Pope had adhered to the Austin- Italian postal league. A military conspiracy had been discovered at Vclletri, iu which several townsmen were also implicated. Murray's cue was still in stabs quo. A young Englishman in Rome had been kid napped and kept for five days. HOLLAND. The following telegraphic despatch bas been re- Delved from Holland : _ _ LA HATE, Auo. 4. lo.day the States-General of Holland have unanimously rejected, 3.5 members being present, the Meaty with France. THE LEVANT. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Sultan, Cap tain George Brooks, arrived at Southampton yester day. Her dates are, Constantinople, July 19; Malta, July 20; Gibraltar, July 31. She brought ship let ter mails from Constantinople, Smyrna, Malta, and Gibraltar; she also brought 21 passengers, amongst whom was Lord Dalkeith. She spoke the English barque Osiris, July 20. On the 30th of July, 5.30 a.m., 30 miles east of Cape de Gatt, she put despatches on board her Majesty's steamer Fury, for the admiral, the English fleet in sight, hull down to the northward. On the 2tith of July she passed the Bentinck 25 miles west of Galit a; on the Ist of August the Iberia, 30 miles south of Cape Eapichel ; and the Bombay, off the Rock of Lisbon. MALTA, Ana. 1. The Medina arrived last night from Alexandria, which port she left on the '..7 , 1t July ; but no news of the Adjdah had been received. The Austrian steamer, which had waited for tho Indian news, would start on the morning of the 29th. I announced in my last the arrival at Sues of the steamer Victoria from Aden. The ifeciusaP:SlTet left us on the evening of Wednesday last for the fleet, when she would proceed to England. She had thirty-two (I believe this is the number) invalids, and would take more from the ships and Gibraltar. The French steam-frigate Gomer arrived last night from Tripoli. The Pasha had manifested some alarm at the menacing appearance of the French fleet, and after some mock bravado had delivered up the Frenchmen he had held in confinement. The Richmond brig, Cox, master, foundered at sea on 19th June. She was bound from London to Alexandria, with railway machinery. Crcw have arrived here by the Helen. The arrival yesterday of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Bentinek, brings notice that the fleet was off Cape de Oatt, joined by the screw flotilla, Arrogant, Encounter, Hightlyer, and Dauntless, and in a few rays they are going to Tetuan to water; they go to Gibraltar about the middle of August. The Vengence has proved the best sailer, having beaten all the large ships—ahe is almost equal to the Photon in 'peed. The Janus steamer hue left Gibraltar with invalids for England. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING. The Daphne, Captain Fanshawe, has arrived from the Pacific, with a freight of half a million dollars. She sailed from Rio on the 19th of June. The yellow fever was abating. Exchange at Rio 2s. 3d. per milrei. FRANCE. PARIS, TRIM/DAY EVIXIIIO. I almtiooed yesterday that I believed the Petrie was nbisformal when it stated no review would take plan ea the 15th August. This journal in fact cor rects Inday its preceding intelligence in the follow ing. ph: "According to fresh information w we have received we can affirm that there will be on the 13th August a review of the national pude, and distribution of eagles." The Petrie pro ceeds to confirm in the same notice the announce which I sent some time ago, that the national tithe departments would take no part, even latisas, in the ceremony of the 13th at the edepu........ ; but that their eagles will be distri burned to dim by the prefects. Ine nevertheless informed that when the Petrie emesseed there would be no review, it was not elbegether unfounded in making this statement. In ilast, it really appears that at one moment the review IMO countermanded; and the motive of this pro seeding is well worth attention. You may remember that I informed you some time ago that M. Vieyra, anionel of the staff of the national guard, had been and by the Court of the Seine for a very serious ins in contracting a fraudulent mortgage, and sansrly acquitted, not without receiving a sharp I reprimand from the judicial authorities. Since this epoch the reputation of M. Vieyra hes been under a abod e and his presence in so important a command hues bees viewed with increasing dissatisfaction by the national guards under his command. In fact, what more serious disqualification for command in the eyes of a civic soldier can there be than the failure in the chief civic duty, probity. It was neeonred that the national guard would seise occa sion el Abair general assembly in the Champ de biers ea the 16th of August, to testify in the most patine mown their discontent against the colonel of their std nun rumours, coming to the ears of M. Vieyra, that officer stretched all his credit with the Elyse° to prevent the review from taking place, representing that the spirit of the national guards was by no means favourable to the government, and that this feeling would be manifested by scandalous and disorderly cries on the solemn occasion of the Emperor's birthday. No sooner was it intimated by the Petrie that Colonel Vieyra had gained his paint than the commanders of battalions went in a body, yesterday . morning, to the Bret-Mqjor of the national guard in the rains Royale, and presented their remonstrances to their commander-in-chief, Ge neral Laweetine. The greatest efforts were made by both contending parties in favour of the re view and against it, so that yesterday all offi cial circles were rife with this dispute. At length the chefs d• tatailion and the party in favour of the review carried the def.

The Assembly deliberated on a project of law relative to high treason. Five members of the royalist opposition, whose adhesion was considered cer tain, were 'West. The nine others present were divided in opinion. M. d'lvcrnois demanded that measures be adopted to obtsin the recognition of the Neufchatel Republic by the European powers. Having been called to order, M. diver nois observed, that so long as two political parties should exist to the Canton, it would he impossible to define the crime of high treason.

The banquet leek clam in the Market-ball, a building aintirably nispnel to the neasion, and was attended by gent 766 pstusne, bending amongst them the leading ' =ledits ensaty and the liberal 'keens and free the Miele. An meanidabis engagement, it was said, crenated the Marquis se Weelmiester from taking the shah, sad In the abases OW, Maud Salkeley, Bart., WP., 1$ we ably filled by Sir Edward Walker, of Chester. After the usual legal sad general toasts, The CH•IRMAN.,..r., comOimentaryln an cencesed the health of the Ilea M. L. °stye. TM was received with whines& applause. The Has. Mr. Moms, in re 2B %r eggicessed his granddad= at Saab( that the les bad ear advocated, though geed and th rough evil mut, upheld by the damn et Flneddre ; and it was with pinion now that he viewed after to recent straggle, the alansmation of them gkeeisme ptheiplse " looming " b Ms keelson.

(Loud cheering.) The CHAIRMAN neat gave the health of Sir John Hamer, Bart., M.P.," which was drunk amid prolonged SirJ. HANISH", in returning thanks, *Fed as himself firmly resolved to support a free trade , and one directly interested in land and the prospenty o agriculture, be denied that girl alters had been advanced by the pro. tective policy of former years. The present ministry had no principlesand no policy • and it was because they bad neither the one nor the other that they held up to the country, but in vain, that they were to ave us from demo cracy, forsooth—that they were to be the guardians of pro testantism, and werete set everything right with regard to the land. He declared himself the riend of the people, an advocate for • prudent extension of the elective franchise,a firm supporter of the church, and an opponent of the delu sions of Mr. Disraeli and his coadjutors. (Loud cheep.)) The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Wil liams, Mr. Foulkes, Mr. Davies, and other, and the com pany separated about 11 o'clock. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. -- The annual meeting of this club was held at the club-bons. on Tuesday last to transact the business for the ensuing year. C. Cartlew, Esq., was elected chairman, and 11.8. Blake, Esq., deputy-chairman for the ensuing year. It was the rule formerly to charge 61. to yachtmen f or th e Ad m i r alty war rant : this rule was rescinded, and gentlemen on becoming members of the club will now receive their warrants free This is regarded as en act of liberality, and will probably tell well for the club. There was a good attendance. At the dinner afterwards about 40 gentlemen sat down under the presidency of Mr. Cardow. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. RAISING OF THE FIRST COLUMN. The great work, which for the next few months is to employ all the ingenuity of dozens of Ilea ts, and the leboser of thousand. of bends, was commenced yisterday at Sydenhant, under surparaingly favourable auspices. The first light column of the Now Crystal Palace, which is to restore to the people the amusement and instruction which they so extensively enjoyed from its predecessor, was raeed with • simple but impressive ceremonial, under a brilliant sun, and amid the acclamation, of thousands of de lighted spectators. A hippy augury we trust may be derived front the fineness of the weather, the heat being tempered by a cool breeze, which not ably "made things pleasant" to the company, but so cleared the atmosphere as to enab'e them fully to appre ciate the magnificent landscape of which the new palace is to be the centre. Special trains commenced running from London-bridge at half-past 12, and at half-past 2, when the ceremonial commenced there were several thousand person, assembled on the roan.... The site of the future transept was enclosed with roper, having tall poles placed at inter vals, from the tope of which fluttered the flogs of all nations, end from a temporary triangle in the centre the solemn itself hung suspended which was so soon to play au important part in the day's proceedings. The space next the ropes wee reserved for the ladies, and was soon occupied by • dense phalanx of gaily attired occupants ; and outside the " mob of gentle nen " arranged themselves as best they could with a vie v of seeing sod hearing as much as possible of the day's proceedings. Two military bands were stationed in the immediate vicinity, and, by a strange coincidence, commenced their musical performance with "Anode Laurie, " the last tune which the collected bands played on the ast great day in Hyde-park. Close behind, Mr. Edgington had spread out a conside rable encampment, of which the gnat ref, eshment pavilion was not the least attractive feature ; and at a short distance on the left was • smaller tent, in which were displayed the drawings and models of the future edifice. The last com pleted design, with Mr. Owen Jonta's recent improvements, excited general admiration; while nut a few of the visitor. were inclined to prefer the simplicity of Sir Joseph Pazton's original plan. We have more than once noticed in the Daily New the particulars in which the new Crystal Palace will differ from and improve upon its predecessor, the principal being the entire arched root, which formed part also of the Hyde-park design, hut was abandoned on grounds of expense and the necessity for expedition. As seen in Mr. Owen Jones's finished drawing lit has • splendid effect, and quite an artistic character is given to the whole by the addition of these arched recesses of immense size over the principal entrances, which by giving light and shade make the garden front • finished picture and obviate the appearance of monotony so difficult to avoid in a structure of such great size and built of so peculiar • material. These, with two small square towers at the ends, were the last touches to the design, which if carried out in its integrity will certainly produce one of the most beautiful and unique edifices that the world has ever seen. With a frontage of 3,000 feet, ornamented as we have described, and a stretch of highly ornamented ground., nearly 300 acres in extent, dotted with statues and enlivened by fountains of every variety of fanciful design, and having jets of immune altitude, it is hardly too much to anticipate that " The People's Palace at Sydenhani" will be worthy of its high intuition and of the vast masses who, next summer, will be attracted within its boundaries. At half-put two o'clock, the directors and officers of the company mus tercd in one of the small tents, and, headed by six work men bearing a large banner, on which was inscribed •. Success to the Palace of the People," marched in prices. sion to the centre of the enclosed space, the binds playing the national anthem. A bottle, containing coins and toe following inscription, was placed in the socket which was to receive the column : "'lbis column, the first support of the Crystal Palace, a building of purely Emil sh architec ture, destined to the recreation and instruction of the Mil lion, was erected on the 6th day of August, 18.32, in the 10th year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria, by Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Crystal Palace Com pany. The original structure, of which thie column forms a part, was built after the design of Sir Joseph Paxton, by Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., and stood in liyde-park, where it received the contributions of All Nations, at the World's Exhibition, in the year of Our Lord, 185 L" The column was then firmly planted in the ground, the direc tors taking • pull at the ropes, and being powerfully as sisted by three very young gentlemen Masters Fuller, Fox, and Phillips, who worked as if th e whole weight of the undertaking devolved upon their particular shoulders. A royal salute was then fired, the band again played the national anthem, and, when the cheering had subsided, Mr. S. LAING then addressed the assembly. In the course of his speech he said: I trust that the assurance that we are all deeply and intimately impressed with what 1 may almost venture to call a religious policy of our duties and responsibilities, will be accepted as a guarantee that to the best of our judgment and ability this great under taking shall be constructed in a proper spirit and with • view to noble and elevating objects. (Hear, hem.) As regards the material features of the enterprise, words are but feeble iastraments in which to paint the triumphs of art and tan Ismilise el nature. It is better to ask you to look around yea and say for yourselves whether the site is worthy of the People's Palace and of the People's Park. Figure to yourselves the surrounding arca which is now defined by a circle of beauty, converted into a crystal dome, and raised aloft under the blue vault of Heaven and you will form some indistinct image of the new centr al transept as it units in the genius of a Paxton, and as it will shortly exist as • tangible reality for the wonder aid admiration of millions. (Cheers.) None of us will ever forget to whose comprehensive and philosophic mind we are indebted for the original idea of that transcendent Exhibition, and to whine courage, resolution, and busineu aptitude we owe the prosecution of that idea to a successful conclusion amidst all manner of doubts and difficulties. Nor shall we hastily forget the affable and condescending in which our gracious Queen, surrounded by her family, mixed there day after day in free and unreserved intercourse with her subjects, setting an example by which all from high to low might profit, of enlightened interest in worthy objects and unaffected sympathy with the tutu and enjoyments of her people. With these recollections fresh in our minds, I must confess it has begs an inspiriting idea with us that in perpetuating an enduring memo rial of that greet and glorious Exhibition, and in ex• pending the noble and philanthropic idea of Prince Al bert into fresh developments, we should be at the same time rearing a monument, perhaps not altogether inappropriate or unworthy of the reign under which we have the happy privilege to live. I feel that you all respond to this menu meint, and that in calling on you now to join with me in eels beating the set of laying the foundation stone of the People's Felice, I cannot suggest • better mode of express. ing our common feeling, than — by asking you to unite in one loud and hearty acclamation of " God save the People's ' (Loud and continued cheering.) The external ceremonies having been thus brought to a' satisfactory conclusion, upwards of 500 ladies and gentle-' men who had received invitations from Messrs. Fox and Henderson, proceeded with considerable alacrity to the' large pavilion, in which a magnificent cold collation with wines of every description in abundance, bad been taste fully spread out by Mr. Higginbotham, of the British Hotel, for their refection. We believe that this was Mr. Higginbotham's debut as caterer for so large a company, and certainly it could hardly be possible for a first attempt to come off with greater &tat The company showed their deep appreciation of his cautions by the energy with which they devoted themselves to the demolition of the good cheer, giving striking proofs of the healthful ness of the Sydenhain air in the marked improvement of their appetites. The chair was taken by Mr. Laing, who was surrounded by distinguished company. The toasts of "The Queen" si Prince Albert and the rest of the royal family" having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN said that in proposing the toast of 1 " Success to the Crystal Palace," be did so with a full con viction that all who were amesabled there felt • warm and deep interest in the _pmject to initiate which they were then mumbled. That was no mere festive com memoration in which all but complimentary remarks would be out of place but a meeting for business as well as pleasure, and one part of the business of the day was to explain as shortly as he could the objects which he had already told them at the inauguration the company had in contemplation. In the first place, he must tell them that the company did not mean to ask for patronage until they were in a position to command it; but at the same time it must he distinctly understoodthat the wise and good of the realm had not been backward in their expressions of sympathy and encouragement. (Hear, hear.) As all pre sent were conversant with the history of the Gnat Exhibition of 1851, it would be idle to detain them with any retrospect, and he would simply any that the idea of that Exhibition originated in the noble and philosophic con ception of the highest personage in the realm next to the sovereign, and was developed into • world's wonder and attraction without parallel. (Loud cheers.) When that unrivalled exhibition had done its work, when the time had come, as in the case of all sublunary grandeur. that it must die, a bitter feeling of regret was felt that that which had been • great opportunity for the instruc tion of the people should pain away without an enduring record. (Cheers.) That idea took *variety of shapes. I a the tint place, it took the shape of pressure from without upon the legislature of this country to preserve the Crystal Palace on its original site. That attempt did not succeed, and for good reason. He had regretted the failure at the time, and had been somewhat disposed to re proach the legislature for their great indifference to the wants of the people. But experience had corrected that short-sighted notion, and taught him that the legislature had done quite right in leaving the people of England to their own resources. The consequence of the vote negativing the maintenance of the old Crystal Palace had been to give them • new and more beautiful crystal palace at Sydenham. (Loud cheers.) The old Crystal Palace would rise, like a phoenix, more beautiful than ever; and, not to waste words, alter the models which had been exhibited in an adjoining tent, he would r e p ea t his belief that on the Ist of May, 1863, they would have a crystal palace far superior to that which had passed away. (Hear, hear.) He would now proceed to d escr ib e, as briefly as possible, the objects which they intended to carry out in that glorious building, which he hoped to see completed in Sydenham Park. Those objects might be briefly classed under the head of recreation, instruction, and commercial utility. With respect to the question of recreation, they could not but feel strongly that there were some grounds for the reproach often addressed to Englishmen, that while they knew better than most men how to work and create objects of industry, they knew worse than any how to ammo themselves. (Cheers and laughter.) It must be ad mitted that in that respect they . were inferior to many foreign nations, to whom in other respects thi y were superior. It must be admitted that amidst oho striking sad noble qualities oftho labouring men of England there was a slight deficiency in that polish, and t h ose esthetic qualifications which refined the character of some nations of the continent. It was not true according to the representation of the Englishman in the 1- reach vaudeville, that they went about with bulldogs at th e i r heels and halters round their wire.' treks —Claud laughter) —but still they must admit that that popular exaggeration was founded upon some taint and reunite degree of veri similitude. (Hear, hear.) It must he admitted, then, that if they could furnish the masses of the people with a rather more refined and ennobling recreation than they could lied on Windmill bill or at Greenwich fair, or, wove tib ia either, in the gin palace, they would have gone a great towards advancing to perfection the characterof the Enable nation. (Hear, hear.) The character of the nation had even in his recolketion ;mule great advances, more especially among the labouring classes, and he believed the time h ad now come when the gentlemen of England meat look to themselves if they wished to keep their places—(mar, hear)—if they wanted to keep in advance in all the gush , ties that went to make th , perfect Englishman. (Cheers.) Ile had no doubt but that th. y would dose, and that, wha t elevating the character of the masses, they sheath( ace the aristocracy elevating themselves to still greater heights sad more intellectual refinements. (Cheers.) It apiaared to him that the true doctrine of equality was, not dreggiag down the high tri the level of the low, but elevatin g t h e low 'to tho level of the high. (Loud cheers.) Au to the means of recreation, the whale question depended Use t, us ptation they could hold out to those cla.sid to Viet the palace. As regarded the temptation to visit, he thou g ht I that the experience of the Exhibitioi, of Mil fully eau. feted the notion that the people of England wi re ma. worthy of enlightened recreation, and :hat to offer it to them was only throwing pearls before swina. They s ow there millions of visitors in a period of less clan e l, months, conducting themselves with the greatest eierairum, and such conduct was the best refutation of the cinema, to which he had adverted, and the beet proof that it they made a place worthy of the people of England, they w ou ld flock to it in myriad., as they had done before. (cheers) As to the means of instruction, it must be watershed that they proposed in this building to combine instruction with emma:meat ; and as to the means of instruction which they proposed to offer, he could not illustrate the general prilddlF pie better than by referring to the notorious fact, that the tendency of the pre sent ago was no longer to appeal to the intellect by dry abstractions, or mere a ord., but to ap peal to all the senses of the human being, men, offering to him, as it were, illustrate.) editions of the works of nature and of science. (Cheers.) Their great object was to pre. . sent illustrated editions of all the marvels a Lief, art sad science had created an this nineteenth century. Ile would give them one instance. They proposed to give an ether*. luaical series of the whole human family, in which the young man who had not means to purchase large works , o f who had been studyin g D r . P r it c h ar d , m i g h t come there and for a shilling get Is comprehensive notion of the subject. (Hear, hear.) Another illustration might be tumid in their process of the cotton manufacture, in which, with. art read , ing crabbed books, or involving themselves in the dust sad whirl of a Manchester cotton-mill, they might s•-e the inane ' facture at a glance, from the moment the rats material went in uutil it emerged in the beautiful gauze and muslin wish which so many of the fair ladies around him were dec 'rated. As far, then, as instruction was cone rued there would be no deficiency in the new Crystal Palace. But to e l, acte d to commonplace objects of commercial utility, be would ask what was another great principle of the present day ? What stared them in the face at every turning ? Ginned advertising vans and Brubdignagian boots. The principle was the principle of advertising. (Hear, hear.) It was in our commercial age • principle of first rate necessity, enabling people to compare the value they obtained in one place with the value in another. (Hear, hear.) Great an. unrivalled as were the glories of the great Exhibition of Dell, great us were the exertions of the patriots who promoted it, he could tell them that alter all it eves the princi a le of advertisiiig that started that wonder. (hear, hear.) And let him further tell them, that a place like that would be frequented by numerous classes whom an advertiser would like to attract. All foreigners would inevitably visit them, all country visitors to town could resort to them, so that theta palace would be the best and hugest advertising van that had ever beet exhibited. (Hear, hear.) It would supply another great want which had been often felt, ill I, ing great national bazaar. They all knew that in the early ages of commerce there were large fairs attracting great masses of people, and having enormous traffic. Modern improvements had superseded these, but the Exhibition of 1801 showed that a world's fair was still a commer cial necessity. Let them only imagine will m their arrangement of the Cryetal Palace was earned out, what a new development would he given to another subject, what influence it would have on the business of shopping. Speaking as he did in the presence of the fair sex, he must say that the way iit which shopping was:at present carried on was by no 1111,111, agree able or elevating to the lords of the creation. (Laughter.) If they could bring all the masterpieces of art together, truer tastes would he formed, true restbetic principles of dr.ss would be established, and great benefits would be conferred on society. This was a subject of which the importance could not be over-rated, but as many gentlemen were to follow him, he would not detain them thither titan by again proposing "Success to the C r y s t a l P a l ace ." (Loud cheers ) Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL said the toast he had to pro pose would .apply to nearly all that were present. It was " The visitors who had honoured them with their presence upon this occasion." (Cheers.) Ile felt proud as one of the humblest of those who had been engaged in carrying out the design, to see there so large a body of ladies and gentlemen, so distinguished by their position la society, by their personal character and by the extensive influence which they possessed amongst that great corn. =nit, for whom this undertaking was designed—the Eng lish people. (Loud cheers) He was proud to see them there that day, because he discerned in their presence some thing like a guarantee fur their cordial good-will towards the undertaking, and of their beginning faith, at least, in the ability and sincerity of those who were connected with dead who professed themselves anxious to carry it out in the best manner and in the way calculated to accomplish the greatest social results. (Cheers.) Now, he could speak with the greater freedom upon this subject, because there belonged to him very little indeed of the merit of what had been done ; end he declared that up to that moment they had all had doubts as to the possibility of the undertaking. It was believed to be impossible that the Crystal Palace could be perpetuated. It appeared impossible, in the first place, that any money coxed be got to purchase is ; but ten En glishmen said to each other, " W e will buy the Crystal Palace." (Casten) These ten men believed in each other, and they believed also in the people of England. (Loud cheers.) They believed that the people of England pos sessed those characteristics which popular of iuion, eves amongst ourselves, had denied to them. (Hear, hear.) It had been denied that they could appre elate and enjoy the treasures of art which had long been thrown open to the nations of the continent. It was thought that nothing but the ring, the tavern, the gin-palace, and those rougher sports had any charms for Englishmen ; but but year, as their chairman had said, sae million persons had confessed that the happiest and most improving hours of their lives had been those which they had spent in the Crystal Palace. The ten Englishmen, therefore, believed in the true clone teristica of their countrymen—they tabled the money, and bought the Crystal Palace. (Lou/ cheers and laughter.) That was the first impossibility which had been achieved, and he (Mr. Russell) must acknowledge that it did look very lake an impossibility to carry it any further. One fine morning, about twenty gentlemen came to take pa/erica of their purchase, and he confessed that he, fur arse, felt— and the feeling was shared by alt the rest-- that they had got an elephant. (Laud Isughter.) Ile need not remind them of the old story respecting the in which an eastern potentate used to ruin a nab• ject who had offended him. lie gave him an elephant—if possible a white one—and the unfortunate man not darisp to get rid of the huge beast was obliged to keep it until it had eaten him out of house and home. (Laughter.) Now they had got an elephant —a crystal elephant—and they had nothing to feed it with. (Loud laughter) The park in which it grazed, and in which it ought to be browzing at that moment—(hear, hear)—Was token front them; bat still they had faith in each other and in the people of Eng land. (Hear, bear.) The people of Eng; awl came to them and said, " The elephant shall be fed—there is the money "—(laughter and cheers)—and when the people had paid down 600,00 W. to perpetuate the Crystal Palace, they (the promoters) felt that they had not reckoned upon their countrymen in vain. (Loud them) They had got the elephant and they had got a park for It but this second difficulty they would never have got over had it not been for the handsome manner in which they had been met by the directory of the London and Brighton Railway, one o, whom was the proprietor of that brooded park, but who preferred to give it up and go out of it him self rather than deprive them of no suitable a site. (Cheers.) They bad been willing to offer him a large price, but be had not been willing to accept it. lie said, " I will take no large price tor such a popular undertaking. I will merely refer it to an arbitrator to say what the land is worth • and I will not take a halfpenny more." Lod cheers!) Thus they bad got their elephant and their park, but they bad not got nearly all. Their elephant was an old elephant and they wanted a new one. (Laughter.) They wanted a mill similar to that which they hail seen in their earlier days, into which they could put their old elephant and grind it into a new one. (Renewed TINY had found such a mill, and they had found such a nollerin Sir Joseph l'azton. (Great cheering.) Ile believed that just as the old Crystal Palace was a much finer, grater, e and more perfect idea , considering the temporary nature of the structure, than had ever before been seen, just so much would the new palace surpass in grandear, effect, and usefulness, its predecessor in tilde park. (Loud cheers.) And so another impossibility had been achieved. (Hear, hear.) They hid Meesrs. Fos and Henderson, the distinguished contractors, there to as sure them, that as surely as the old Crystal Palace was opened on the Ist of May, 1861, so surely would the new Crystal Palace be opened is Crystal Palace Park on the of May, 18.53; and thou they would have another Mowed bility accomplished. (Great sheers.) Ile begged " propose the health of "The visitors," coupling with the toast the name of Sir Chu. Lyall. (Enthusiastic applause.) ' Sir C. LY ELL said it was with much surprise that be heard his name coupled with the toast, sod he could oaly attribute it to the equally unexpected honour uffich had been paid him in his appointment to assist in the arraarr meat sad one feature anni'a t which i°nof thethnew the Crystal l There hut for which they must look in vain at Kew, at the Braes!, Museum, and the new Museum of Economic Geoleity.
