It is gratifying to find that the attractions of the
Crystal Palace are highly apprecisted by the working
clams; wad that, eetwithisar ding the many other induce
scuts offered to • leasers seekers at this aeon of the year,
the number of visitors, within the last few weeks, has
*Tubed. sad on sows occasions mush exceeded, the aumben
on the corresponding days ut last year. The water plants in
genteel, and especially t • Victoria Regis, whica is almost
daily in 8 seer, together with the Aloe, which will very soon
be a full bloom, are peculiarly interesting from tt e.r rarity'
and perfection. There hare been several large tleerojone
to the Palate letvly, but it is probable that they will all be
wirpessed by the visit, on Tuesday Nest, the 28th Instate, of
The ArieWnt Order of Purestara" The othoagers of this
benevolent society have used ertht exertions to promote the
success of their fat, and have obtained the patronage of
Prism Albert for the occasion. They hays been itherelly
met by she prieethal railway companies, and it is expected
that as many as 10,000 members, from all per:sof Ragland,
will join in toe 'awaited demonstration. Archery and other
amiseentsots will be added to the u.nal attractions of the
Crystal Pelee', and Ur Pinches, medallist to the company,

Ti. same artist has also executed a prize medal for the
Poultry 84ow, which will be held in the Anerley Gerdes's,
