OANAJIT RIOT 41' TEI CRYSTAL PALACE.

The tropical region at the Crystal Palace was
reselsesd vocal yesterday by the music of bemired' of
feathered scepters, who seemed wonderfully to enjoy the
lumadeas foliage and genial artificial atmosphere by which
they were surrounded. It was the anniversary cif the great
canary show, an eveut quite se important to bud Laden as
was recently the American complication to the political
world. It is satisfactory to know that the breeding of these
charming little choristers is a rapidly rides speculation, mad
that the specimens sent in this year to the show exceed tit
numbers, and surpass in quality, the exhibitions of all pee•
vious years. The two great breeding grounds for dimserti-
fisted canaries—what a beautiful country that must be in
which they may be seen hopping and singing wild from
tree to km--are Belgium on the continent., and Norwich
is thin country. Belgium has reached • very high
sad fastidious "tasty" in the bird, eschews vocali-
sation altogether, and mete its prize mark on logs
legs, slender form, and dreadfully Ligh shoulders, as the
learned call the wings of the bird. Norwich, on the coa-
trary, goes in for rounded symmetry of form, deep "tongue,"
colour of pianism', and Jowly Lind flexibility of vocal
organ. Each school has its admirers, arid the Crystal
Palace directors have with creditable impartiality offered
prises of equal amount in both awes. We had the honour
yesterday of waitiug on the distinguished foreigner who
takes the sovereign home to Belgium, and found him indeed
• very paragoe of bog-leiarestuma, slimeess, and humeroid
elevation. Oar sympathies were, however, entirely with
his Eaglish rival, who established his superiority in • me-
meek by pealing forth • carol, when he saw
deities coming, which made the Crystal concave ring
viols. The critical will admire the Fleming, but
tie general public will, we have no doubt, vote
foe the eastern counties. The show is equally strong in
British ahoriginee—goldlinchee of splendid plumage, and
bullfinches of a most martial air. There is also an aviary
exhibited, containing classified specimens of the whole finch
family, and which has been collected with great care by Mr.
Manley, of the let Life Guards ; a•dt last, though not
' least, are the parrots, " green spirits awl grey," a large and
loquacious community, who keep up an ineseaant wordy
cestsstice with an inveterate cockatoo, who talks as Bhe
were sae of the leading counsel iu the Windham inquiry.
