THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The fineness of the day on Saturday tempted a
large weber of persons to Tian the Crystal Palace. The
. _

coeieet-room wee cniwded, and Min LUuisa Vinning wee
rorderossely applauded after firming each of the four songs
allotted to her. The oak for an ewers, after she had finished
" The Hulk Gate," were so numerous that she returned,
but instead of repeating the wag, she sang " Coming
through the rye" with inisninhis archness sad sweetness.

to a sneosestal career. It is seldom that " Infant Sappho."

bet be 'truck on Saturday with the fact that Exeter Hall,
St. Martin's Hall, the Crystal Pelee., and other institutions
which hare dome so much, in addition to their other achieve-
meats, in presenting the beat music to the universal public,
have worked wonders in purifying public taste. What
should we have thought twenty years ago had we been
told that a miscellaneous audience could be got together

to listen to a symphony of Beethoven occupying • ;early
Ihresquerters of an boar in the playing? After the concert
the company strolled about the building, the greater portion
being attmeted to the picture gallery, cos of the mom =ems-
fel of the company's introductions. In their way there they
ware attracted by the Mammoth tree, now in process of con-
struction. It is formed by placing layers of the original
bark around an internal scaffolding of great complexity and
strength. Visitors walk round the scaffolding inside with

ing. The picture gallery will shortly clam, prior to its re-
. opening in May. Great preparations ars being made for the
purpose of procuring beat pietism both from English end

we may expect a good representation of the French school in
particular. We observed that large additions had been made
to the reading room and library, which is admirably ma-
mged. Amongst the greet= muskies =albs reckoned the
parts already published of Hanitech's illueireticas to Shak-

is unchangeable but wheals.
