But what were all these palaces, and how we o re they constructed? They were raised by the spoils of ca ptaive nations, an d t h e f orce d l a b our of myriad s of slaves, to gratify the caprice or vanity of some solitary despot.—(Hear, hear, hear.) To our own age has been reserved the privilege of raising a palace for the people.—(Load cheers.) Yes, the structure of which the first column has just raised its head into the air, is emphatically and distinctly the possession of the British people, as it is the production of their own unaided and independent enterprise.—(gear, hear.) On us, to whom circumstances have entrusted the direction of this great popular undertaking, devolves the duty of seeing that it is carried out in a manner worthy of the public spirit of the age in which we live, and of the mag nitude of our high mission. I assure you we all feel very deeply the responsibili ty of our position; and although, for the reasons to whi c h I have already adverted, we have judged it premature and unseemly to make any formal religious ceremonial on the present occasion, we feel not the less .profoundly that, in carrying out this Undertaking, as we hope to do, to a successful issue, we I re but acting as the instruments of that beneficent and ever-ruling Providence which is guiding our great British race along the paths of peaceful progress. I trust that the assurance that we are all deeply and inti mately impressed with what I may almost venture to call a religious policy of our duties and responsi bilities, will be 'accepted as a guarantee that to be best of our judgment and ability this great under eating shall be constructed in a proper spirit and with a view to noble and elevating o bjects.—(Hear, hear ) As rega rds the material portion of the enterprise, words are but feeble instruments, in which to paint the triumphs of art and the beauties of nature. It is better. to ask you , 0 look aroundyou and say for yourselves whether the s it e is worthy of the , people's palace an d t h e t o yourselves' surrounding th e . people's : lark.

The f ee li ng o f l oya l ty, which had dvi . n dl e into a faint dil e tt an t e specu l at i on or Vague historical re miniscence, has i n our d ays b een most a n derfully revived, and exists n ow as a Ia PP iI Y, a , " w pervading all classes of society, an d bi n di ng he highest and pow drn lowest in the l and together by one co non and ennobling tie of reasonable and i n t e lli gent, yet ievoted and a ffe ctionate veneration for th e c h aracter and person of our beloved Queen and her illustri ous consorttad family.— (Cheers.) Towards the creatio n o f t hi s w believe no incident has contribut e d i n a -Wore marked degree than the Great Exhibition of 1851.

I feel that you all respond to this sen timent, and join with that in calling on you now to me in celebrating the act of laying the foundation-stone of he People's Palace, I cannot suggest a better mode of expressing our common feeling than by asking you to unite in one loud and hearty acclamation of " God save the People's Queen."—(Loud cheering.) The external ceremonies having been thus brought to a satisfactory conclusion, upwards of 500 ladles and zentlemen who had received invitations from Messrs. Fox and Henderson, proceeded with considerable alacrity co the large pavilion, in which a magnificent cold colla tion, with wines of every description in abundance, had been tastefully spread out by Mr. Higginbotham, of the British Hotel, for their refection. We believe that this was Mr. Higginbotham's delnit as caterer for so large a company, and certainly it could hardly be possible for a first attempt to come off with greater éclat. The com pany showed their deep appreciation of his exertions by the energy with which they devoted themselves to the demolition of the good cheer, giving striking proofs of (he healthfulness of the Sydenham air in the marked improvement of their appetites.

The toasts of "The Queen," "Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family" having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to give the toast of the evening. He said that in proposing the toast of " Suc cess to the Crystal Palace," he should be obliged to trespass a little longer on their time than was usual in occasions of that description. But be did so with a full conviction that all who were assembled there felt a warm and deep interest in the project to initiate which they were then assembled. That was no mere festive comme moration 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 ho had already told them at the inauguration the company had in contemplation. In the first place, be 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 be distinctly understood that the wise and good of the realm had not been backward in their expressions of sympathy and encouragement.—(Hear, hear.) In proof of that he might appeal to the nume rous letters they had received, among which he might mention there was one from the Ncble Earl at the head of the Government, and another from the veteran reformer Mr. Hume,--(Loud cheers.)

They had seen them there dis play characteristics which had hitherto been denied to them. It had been denied to their, year after year, and up to a very late time, that they could be entrusted with the preservation and the enjoyment of the treasures of art, as had long (teen done upon the continent. It was denied that refined enjoyments and that nature were suited to their taste—it was denied that anything but the ring, the tavern, and the gin -palace, and the rougher sports, had any charms for Englishmen. In fact, it was denied that Englishmen had any taste for art. But what fwas the result of the Great Exhibition of 1851? Why, that six millions of the people passed through the Cry stal Palace —(Hear.) Did Englishmen believe that that ought to pass away? Ought not such an induce aitfuiejheedr. he_ (a looked ear. .) upon on e i t a fines induce ment to h e perpetuated?" Thie was at first believed to im possible; and h e c on f esse d that when it had been ch m an or i n zn in p e oss h i e remembered biliy to carry that a body o f sion of the Crystal Palace; and when they did so he confessed that he felt very much like the individual who had the present of an elephant made to him. They would remember it was a custom whenever an Indian sovereign wanted to rain one of his subjects ho made him the present of an elephant. Tne company, then, were the elephant. They had got a crystal ele phant, but nothing to feed him with, for the park in which he was pasturing was taken away. But they had yet faith in one another and iii Englishmen. They said to each other "We have no tears for our elephant. We will give it food." And we applied to the people of Eng land whether the elephant should be fed or not, the people of England said the elephant should be fed, and the meeting might depend upon it that when the people of England put down 500,0001. to perpetuate the Crystal Palace, the projectors of it had not reckoned in vain. —(Hear, hear.) Some persons said that the new Crystal Palace did not deserve so well of the people as its prede cessor, because it was a commercial undertaking. But it was because we were a nation of shopkeepers, and be cause it was a commercial undertaking, that we were proud of it. We were proud of it because we did not be lieve that anything not of the nature of a commercial undertaking, and which did not stand upon its own bottom, would last. They believed that this would be a ,el' -supporting institution; and he spoke the words of so berness when he said that they had as much the public ad vantage as their own pecuniary profit in view when they invested their money in the Crystal Palace. He believed this to be the feeling of every shareholder, and that it would pay a handsome dividend in addition; but the Crystal Palace audits managers would not descend from the high moral and social objects they had in view to pander either to a lower taste or to a lower morality in order to make it pay. There was not one of the pro ' prietors who would not consign every halfpenny he had in the undertaking rather than that the people should suffer in the character of the undertaking for the mere purpose that it should pay 5 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) But the directors believed it would pay, simply because they believed in the character of the millions, and that the millions with their shillings would be the support of the undertaking. They believed, therefore, they were merely the guardians of the public property by com mencing this undertaking, and that after they had been remunerated who had risked the lots of their money, all that remained over should be consigned to the improve ment and elevation of the great schools of national art and national industry.—(Hear, hear.) The first task, as he had intimated, was the getting of the money to feed the elephant, and the next to find a place where to keep him. This they had almost failed to accomplish, and would h ave d one but for an enlightened and disin terested gentleman connected with the Brighton Railway, the proprietor of the beautiful park in which they were now assembled. That gentleman came forw ar d i n the last emergency, w h en they were in a diffi cu l ty, and said, "although I had made up my mind to spend the remainder of my days here, I would rather h give it up than you s , you shall have the park." ould be wi t ho u t a s i te , a nd (Chee . rs.) The directors were willing to pay him a large he was unwillin g to accept preferringit ,, for the land, but amount as fixed by as arbitrator, rand to h ave t h e not farthing more.—(Hear.) Thu s th e comp snyhad ele phant into the park. But thi s was not all. Rot e th ie e hn was old—they wanted a new on e — and a miller was at re quired to grind the old animal into a n ew one. —(Laugh ter.) They found such a miller in the person of their old friend Sir Joseph Paxton, and at once they th rew themselves upon the resources of his genius. When the ald Crystal Palace stood, in all its beauty, in Hyde park, everybody said it was impossible to go fu'rther, Ind that if they tried to produce anything finer they would fail. He felt of that opinion too, when the Crys tal Palace was in Hyde-park; but as soon as Sir Joseph Paxton had shown the new creations of his genius, and that they were grander and more perfect than the old ene, as the old one was grander and more perfect than our ideas of such structures before, then he lid not regret the removal of the old palace from Llyde-park. Thus another impossibility was accom plished. The genius of Sir Joseph Paxton showed they were not wrong in placing confidence in each other, and, having that confidence, in going on and prospering.— (Hear, hear.) Another impossibility was said to lie in the re-erection of the building. Bat their old friends, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, assured them that as cer 'ein as the old Crystal Palace in Hyde. park was opened by the day named, the Ist of May, 1851, so surely would the new Crystal Palace, in all its glory, be opened in that park on the Ist of May, 1853.—(Hear, hear.) Thus another impossibility was accomplished. Under such circumstances he felt they were not wrong in trusting to each other, to the enterprise of British commercial men, and to the British people, to produce a far more glorious structure than that of 1851.—(Hear, hear.) What they wished to have believed was, that no man ever entered upon any duty more sincerely desirous of accomplishing the highest aims —moral, religious, social, and mithetical—than the promoters of this under taking.—(Hear.) After a few more observations, Mr. Russell concluded by proposing the health of " The Visi tors," which was received with loud cheers. Sir C. LYELL was called upon,. and returned tthanks for the toast in a few observations, which were but im perfectly heard. Sir Charles expressed his conviction that this Exhibition might be made, with regard to all matters of art and science, what the British Museum, the Geological Museum, and Kew-gardens were with regard to the arrangement of animals, plants, and minerals. No attempt had yet been made, geographically, to arrange the various manufacturing and other products of the world; but in the building about to be erected this would be done, and it would be attended with most important practical results.—(H ear. Mr. PETO had the permission of the chairman to pro pose a toast, which would be received with great pleas sure- " The health of the Chairman and Directors of the Crystal Palace Company."—(Loud cheers.) After the eloquent speech of the chairman it would not be neces sary for him to detain them an instant, for all Would ap preciate the sentim ents to which he had ' • given utterance. —(Hear, hear.) He felt sure, too, that however attrac tive the palace of Versailles might be to our Gallia neighbours, it would yield before the still reater charms of our new Crystal Palace g • ; for while the beauties o f the one were clouded with dirk associations of s ' uttering and woe, the et her could suggest nothing but that which would premote " p eace on earth and gocd-will towards men."—(Loud c h eers.) In the name of the industrial classes he begged to convey to the chairman and the di rectors that tribute of heartfelt grat i tu d e which he lt ra,t e d th ey would also manifest by their own conduct and by that moral and mental elevation which all would rejaice to see effected. The toast was di tank with nine times nine.

As she [PRICE SD. amongst maekind.—(Cheees.) He had, therefore, the greatest satisfaction in announcing the adherence of Chevalier Bunsen, M. Van de Weyer, and Mr. Abbott Lawrence to their project. As all present were conver sant with the history of the Great Exhibition of 1851. it would he idle to detain them with any retrospect, and he would simply say that the idea of that Exhibition originated in the noble and philosophic ceeception of the highest personage in the realm next to the Sove reign, and was developed into a world's wonder and at traction without parallel.—(L oud c h eers.) He cou ld not refrain from calling at - eutiou to th e a l most prov id en tial c ircumstances which had co- o p erated in br i ng i ng a b out that magnificent result. The accidental discovery of a water lily of gigantic dimensions in another hemisphere had set his friend Sir Joseph Paxton about devising means of household accommodation for the Victoria regie, and the plan he devised for that accommodation expanded into the idea of affording accommodation under a crystal roof for the assembled nations of the universe. —(Load 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 feel ing of regret was felt that that, which had been a great opportunity for the instruction of the people should pass away without an enduring record.—(Cheers.) That idea took a. varkety of shapes. In the first 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 r eason.

The consequence of the vote negati v i ng th e rte I t f maintenance hu Palace had b e e n to g i ve them a new andmore beautiful crystal p a l ace at S ydenham.—(Loud cheers.)

It must be admitted th a t am i dst the striking and noble qualities of the labouring men of England there was a slight deficiency in that polish, and those aesthetic qualifications which refined the character of some nations of the continent. It was not true accord ing to the representation of Englishmen in the French vaudeville, that they went about with bull-dogs at their heels and halters round their wives' necks—(Loud laughter)—but still they must admit that the popular exaggeration was founded upon some faint and remote degree of verisimilitude.—(Hear, hear.) It must be ad. [flitted, then, that if they could furnish the masses of the people with a rather more ennobling recreation than they could find on Windmill-hill or at Greenwich fair, or worse than either, in the gin palace, they would have gone a great way towards advancing to perfection the character of the English nation.—(Hear, hear.) The character of the nation bad even in his recollection made great advances, more especially among the labouring classes, and he believed the time had now come when the gentlemen of England must look to themselves i , they wished to keep their places—(Hear, hear)—if they wanted to keep in advance in all the qualities that went to make the perfect Englishmen.—(Cheers.) He bad no doubt but that they would do so, and that. while elevating the character of the masses, they shoulo see the aristocracy elevating themselves to still treater heights and more intellectual refinements.—(Cheers.) It appeared to him that the true doctrine of equality was, not dragging down the high to the level of the low. but elevating the low to the level of the high.—(Loud cheers.) He did say, speaking from a pretty intimate acquaintance with the habits and character of the working classes, and he believed his friend, Mr. Peto. who sat on his right hand, would bear him out in the assertion, that in all the sterling qualities of English. men they found no deficiency in the labouring man— that in integrity, and even the more chivalrous feelings of honour and self. denial, there was no deficiency it, that class of people, and that all they wanted to raise them to the level of their more fortunate and refined countrymen wag the application of that maxim which they all remembered in the Latin Grammar: " Ingenues didicisse fideliter artes Emollit mores nec sinit esse feros." A little refinement, a little polish, such as he hoped would be communicated by the marvels of the Crystal Palace, would, he honestly believed, render the mass of our working population as near perfection as it was pos sible to look for anything in this sublunary sphere.— (Hear, hear.) As the means of recreation, the whole question depended on the temptation they could hold cut to those classes to visit the palace. As regarded the temptation to visit, he thought that the experience of the Exhibition of 1851 fully confuted the notion that the people of England vvere unworthy of enlightened re creation, and that to offer it to them was only throwing pearls to swine. They saw three millions of visitors, in a period o f l ess th an s ix months, conducting themselves with the greatest decorum, and Buell conduct was the best refutation of the calumny to which he had adverted, and the best proof that if they made a place worthy of the people of England, they would flock to it in myriads, as they had done before.—(Cheers.) As to the means of instruction, it must be understood that they proposed in this building to combine instruction with amusement: and as to the means of instruction which they proposed to offer, he could not illustrate the generel principle bet ter than by referring to the notorious fact, that the ten dency of the present age was no longer to appeal to the intellect by dry abstractions, or mere words, but to appeal to all the senses of the human being, man, offering to him, as it were, illustrated editions of treat works of na ture and of science.—(Cheers.) Their g object was to present illustrated editions of all the marvels which art and science had created in this nineteenth century. He would give them one instance. They proposed to give an ethnological series of the whole human family, in wbich the young men who had not means to purchase large works, or who had been studying Dr. Pritchard, might come there and for a shilling get a comprehensive notion of the subject.—(Hear, hear.) Another illustra lion might be found in their process of the cotton manu facture, in which, without reading crabbed books, or in volving themselves in the dust and whirl of a Manchester cot.on-mill, they might see the manufacture at a glance, from the moment the raw material went in until it emerged in the beautiful gauze and muslin with which so many of the falr ladies around ~him were decorated. As tar, then, as instruction w as c oncerned there would be nc, deficiency in the new Crystal Purace. But to descend to commonplace objects of commercial utility, h e m ouhi ask what was another great principle of the prt sent day? What stared them in the face at every turning? Colossal advertising vans and Brobdignagia,n boots, Tie., principle was the principle of advertising,_(fi -- ear, principle hear.) It was in our commercial age a of first-rate necessity, enabling people to compare the value they obtained in one place with the .i value another.—(Bear, hear.) Great and unrivalled - o 2 te g d reat it, bees the glories of the Great Exhibition of 1851 88 were were the exertions of the patriots who pro could tell them that after all it was the principle of ad vertising that started that wonder.— And let him further tell them th place like that t (blear, hear.) would be frequented by numer ' a " a whom an ad vertiser would like to attract.

The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under ,the personal supervision f D r. La Bert, himself one of th e few legally qualified physicians who h ave devoted their w hole and un divided studies to this important bra nch of medical scien ce. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treat ment of the disea ses incidental to the gen erat i ve system, and the means of immediate reli e f an d ultimate cure are described in detail. The p rofessio nal reputation of Dr. L a 'm ert, who h as taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad , is in i tself a sufficie n t guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration' and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases. , Pater __ consuited personall: l'ublished by the Author, and may be had of J.

SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO RAISE THE DUCHESS OF KENT STEA-11ER. Yesterday a successful effort was made to raise this v e,st-1 from the place where she lay in mid channel, be tvveett Northfleet and Grays, and which had become a matte r of the utmost necessity, in order to remove the obstruction to the navigation of the river. At low water, yesterday morning, all the preliminary arrangrments having been completed, the chains were listened down and tightened as much as possible, and a fresh chain secured to the mainshaft of the engine, in lieu of one which bad broken the preceding day. Mr. Bell, the captain of the divers, descended in person to see that all was secured below water. Three chains being passed underneath the bottom of the sunken vessel, and others secured to the engine, were passed over and secured to the two barges and lighter. After the tide had risen to some height it was evident that a great strain was exerted upon the chains attached to the engine of the sunken vessel, and on that which was passed underneath her stern, those being the chains which had the greatest weight attached to them. T he vessels were, at length, observed to move, and t h e little flotilla drifted slowly away with the tide and wind, w h ich showed that the sunken vessel was off the grou n d and moving. In this manner they drifted slowl y f o r about two hours and a half, by which-time a distance of about three-quarters of a mile up the river, towards Grays, had been made. Having got into shallower water the bottom of the sunken vessel was found to touch the ground, and no further progress could be then accom plished. On taking soundings it was found that there were ten fathoms of water where she lay, being three fathom s l ess than where she had been moved from. The next step will be to bring her into still shallower water, and gra iant h t ahl under.dually towards the shore, and when placed above l ow water mark, the sand will be , cleared out, and the wreck made water-tight, in order to be towed up the river, Is at into the repairing dock.

The cer emony of raising the first column of this n ra edifice. w as yesterday performed' in the presence 0 - numero us and highly respentable assemblage at Penge park, the site of t h e new sitaa:are. The circumstances connected with t h e ceremony were well calculated to ex= cite the i nterest and awaken ihe sympathies of all who were present. W e could not but recollect that but e few sh ort mouths had elepaed since the erection of tb predecessor of th e i eter tid structure at Sydenham was reiterated against a structure eo pre commenced ; and we remembered well the scientific, pro fessional, and learned objections which were then con stantlyvariance with the erections of other days. Wo recill to mind how greatly our disregard of the aptiquated notions of brick and mortar, with all their massive accneapaiii-. ments of buttress and foundations, was smiled at, and how our faith in the possibility of erecting, in an nlasoste fabulously shert period, an. unprecedented edifice 01 glass and iron, was ridiculed by " professional" and, " scientific" individuals. The prophetic imaginings of an Airy, and the world-famed accuracy of a Lard -eminently a ner, were pressed, into 'requisition for the Pur pose of showing the ilapossibility of the thing, or, at any rate, of proving that were put together, the first manifestation of the displea sure of Bareas would serve to wetter it to the winds. In fact, men of science and rising architects then conspired together gravely to preve to demonstration that the consumption of air by the • myriads of visitors to the Exhibition Building, tent:lin—if . the "house ot cards" 5 to p r oduce a vacuum in the interior, would cause the external pressure of the at mosphere to force the building with its gewgaws and contents half way to the Antipodes. We declined to give in our adhesion exolueLesly to the men of science and imagination, Preferring rather to deil with those more practical geniuses who completed and opened the Exhibition Building on the Ist of May, 1851. Of the fate of that building, and the means taken to preserve it upon i:s original site, our readers are all .awaret ano we apprehend that, after the recent improvements which will be carried out in the building upon its present site at Sydenham, few persons will regret the decison of the Government, or be displeased that the affection of Lore Seymour for " the favourite pump," or the aristocratic tendencies of Lard John Manners should have suc enteoerdmeds h i n a d accomplishing ab;e to effect—viz., the removal of the building from Hyde -park. It is not necessary for us to detail the various step by which the Crystal Palace Company have become pea syssed of the material of the Exhibition building, ane which, under the magic genius of a Paxton, a Wyatt and a Jones, will sh...rtly assume the proportions any appear -glee which shall justly entitle it to the designatioe of the New Crystal Palac; suffice it to say that yester day was seh cted us the day upon which the first column ~f the new edifice should be erected. A special trai, was hcc adingly provided for the conveyance of betweei, t hree and tour hundred visitors to witness the ceremony, who were assured, by means of printed programmes, that conveyances would be in waiting to convey visitor. to the park from the Sydenham station. Right merrily the train proceeded to Sydenham, and three hundred ano fifty passeneers alighted there, and rushed frantically e leek fur the convey ances. There must be some mistake; nothing was to be found but a travelling" tinker's cart." The train bud better go on to Anerley. The passenger , esumed their seats amid sundry misgivings as to the tim, that the nest,. down train would be due. Ul itnately Aner ley station was reached, and, animated with that insane live love ot " Belt" common to Englishmen, the road t. the park was reached, when, lo! and behold, one "Brix ton omnibus," " licensed to carry twelve inside," ano an indefinite number outside. It was clear to demon. stration that neither legally nor physically could 350 visitors be conveyed in the one " bus;" and the remain ing animated " bales of silk" and " cheats of bullion," according to the phraseology of the London and Brighton directorate, made their way to the entrance o' the park, about a mile distant from the station, where the e xpected vehicles and their drivers were quietly re posing themselves in the shade. Having thus escaped the dangers of the rail and the perils of the road, the visitors were most cordially received by the chairman, and directors of the company, after which reception they proceeded to a second tent, where an opportunity was aff Tded of examining the plans and drawings of the now buileing and park and gardens. The general outline of the plans has already been stated by us, and we need only say that the drawings and model,. were now examined with the greatest admiration. A card-board model, showing the elevation of the building, with its three transepts and cir cular arched nave, was universally admired, as was also a view of the interior of the nave, around the columns and girders of which were most tastefully entwined beautiful climbing plants; while the palm and other tropical plants appeared to afford a most agreeable and refreshing shade. The ground plan of the building and of the galleries was also examined interest; and the space set apart for nthe exhibition of articles ofmanultieture and art was carefully conned over e .with considerable .. by many who had already achieved their laurels in . th to late Great Exhibition, and who were again PrePa e r ri ed the stand forward in support of British industry. i examination of the plans and drawings, "d in wa lkin g over the grounds, time wore on ; u n til a t length, shortly th after two o'clock, the ladies commenced occupying seats assigned for them, round a spacious area marked off by ropes, and indicating the site of the future great central transept; the gentlemen forming a second.. line behind the ladies. Shortly afterwards, preceded the band of the Coldstream Guards, came a processionlmmense headed by a number of workmen bearing an white banner, on which was inscribed in blue letters,b " Success to the Palace of the People," and followed )d Mr. S.
