The external ceremonies having been thus brought to
a satisfactory conclusion, upwards of 500 ladies and
gentlemen who had received invitations from Messrs.
Fox and Henderson, proceeded with considerable alacrity
to the large pavilion, in which a magnificent coldnolla-
, tion, with wines oftevery description in abundance, bad
been tastefully creed out by Mr. Higginbotham, of the
British Hotel, for their refection. We believe that this
was Mr. Higginbotham's debit 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 corn-
party 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
the healthfulness of the Sydenham air in the marked
improvement of their appetites. The chair was taken by
Mr. Laing, and amongst the distinguished company
present (in the majority of instances accompanied by
ladies) were:—Lord Stratford de Radcliffe Lord Er-
nest Bruce and Lady Cardigan, Lord F. dallyburton,
the Right Honourable Mr. Walpole, M.P.•, Mr. Low,

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 " Sue_
cess to the Crystal Palace," he should be obliged to
trespass a little longer on their time than was usual in
occasions of that deseription. 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 he had
already told them at the inauguration the company had
in contemplation. In the first place, ho 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.-a(Elear,
hear.) In proof of that he might appeal to tho nume-
rous letters they had received, among which ho might
mention there was one from the Noble Earl at the head
of the Goveronient, and another from the vettitifi'irt:

RAISING OF THil FIRST COLUMN.
The ceremony of. reiAeg the first column of thin new
at Penge-
edifice was yesterday '`performed in the presence of a
numerous and hiehly,respectuble assemblage
park, the site of the new structure. The circumstauces
connected with the ceremony were well calculated to ex-
cite the. intereis and awaken the sympathies of all who
were present. We could not but recollect that but a
few short montbsiha4 elapsed since the erection of the
predecessor of the ieteeded structure at Sydenbera was
commenced; ,and we remembered well the scientific, pro-
fessional, and learned objections which were thoP con-
stantly reiterated against a structure no pre-eminently at
variance with the erections other days. We recall to
mind how greatly odrdellsregard of the antiquated notions
of brick and,morter, with all their Mastive stedotoPai"
meats of buttress and foundations, was smiled at, and
how our faith in the passibility of erecting, in an almost
fabulously short period, an unprecedented edifice of
glass and, iron, was . ridiculed by st prolossional" and
" scientific". individuals. The prophet in
gs of
an Airy, and the world-famed accuracy of a Lard
nor, were pressed into requisition for the pur-
pose of showing the impossibility of the thing, or, at
any rate, of proving that if the " house of cards"
were put together, the first manifestation of the displea-
sure of Berens would serve to scatter it to the winds. In
fact, men of science and rising architects then conspired
together gravely to prove to demonstration that the
consumption of air by the myriads of visitors to the
Exhibition Building, tending to produce 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 exclusively to the men of science
and imagination. preferring rather to del./ . with those
more practical geniuses whonreepteeet,d.eaattoned tiro

earSydenham, few persons will regret thedecison of the
Government, er be displeased that the affection of Lord
Seymour for " the favourite pump," or the aristocratic
tendencies of Lord John Manners should have suc-
ceeded in accomplishing that which neither winds not
storms had been able to effect—viz., the removal of the
building from Hyde-park.
- It is not nocesaary for us to ,detail the various steps
by which the Crystal Palace Company have become pos-
sessed of the material of the Exhibition building, ants
which, under the magic genius of a Paxton, a Wyatt.
and a Jones, will shortly assume the proportions and
appearence which shall justly entitle it to the designation
of the New Crystal Palace; suffice it to say that yester-
day was selected as the clay upon which the first column
of the new edifice should be erected. A special trail
was ace )rdingly provided for the conveyance of between
three and four 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 atm
fifty passeneers alighted there, and rushed frantically t(
leok for the coneeeances. There must be some mistake;
nothing was to be found but a travelling " tinker's earn"
The train had better go on to Anerley. The passenger-
resumed their seats amid sundry misgivings as to the that
that the next down train would be due. Ultimately Aner-
ley station was reached, and, animated with that instinc-
tive love of "sell" common to Englishmen, the road tc
the park was reached, when, to! and behold, one "Brix-
ton omnibus," " licensed to carry twelve inside," and
an indefinite number outside. It was clear to demon-
stration that neither legally nor physically could 350
visitors be conveyed in the ono " bus;" and the remain-
ing animated " bales of silk" and " chests of bullion,"
according to the phraseology of the London and
Brighton directorate, made their way to the entrance of
the park, about a mile distant from the station, where
the expected 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 en opportunity
was afforded of examining the plans and drawings of
the new boil Ling 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 models
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
end girders of which were most tastefully entwined
beautiful climbing plants; while the palm and other
tropical plants appeared to afford a moat agreeable and
refreshing shade. The ground plan of the building and
of the galleries was also examined with considerable
interest; and the space set apart for the exhibition of
articles ofmanufacture and art was carefully donned over
by many who had already achieved their laurels in the
at and in walking

SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO RAISE THE

Yesterday a successful effirt was made to raise this

obstruction to the navigation of the river.
At low water, yesterday morning, all the preliminary
arrangements having been completed, the chains were
fastened down and tightened as much as possible, and a

about two hours and a half, by which time a for
distance of
about three-quarters of a mile up the river,
towards
Grays, had been made. Having got into shallowetr"dB
water
the bottom of the sunken vessel was found to touchm
ground, and no further progress could be then the

On taking soundings it was found that there were
ten
fathoms of water where she lay, being three fathoms less
than where she had been moved from. The next
will be to bring her into still shallower water, end step
dually towards the shore, and when placed abovelo;
water mark, the sand will be cleared out, and the ',rem,-

made w --ater-tight, in order to be towed up the

the Ravensbourne, Antwerp steamer, the coming into
collision with which caused the ' accident, passed by her
on her outward voyage.
The success which attend2d the undertaking yester-
day has now placed the recovery of the sunken vessel
almost beyond a doubt, and its final accomplishment is to
be attributed in a grew., cleasure to the skill and science
displayed in the arduous undertaking, which was con-

Ho had, therefore, the
greatest satisfaction in announcing the adherence of
Chevalier Bunsen, M.
Van de Weyer, and Mr. Abbott
Lawrence to their project. • As ell present were conver-
sant with the history of the Greet Exhibition of 1851,
it wculd he idle to detain them with any retrospect, and
ho would simply say that the idea of that Exhibition
originated in the noble end philosophic conception of
the highest personage in the realm next to the Sove-
reign, and was developed into a world's wonder end at-
trection without parallel.--(Loud cheers.) He could not
refrain from salting at ention to the almost providential
cireamatances which had co-operated in bringing about
that magnificent re-ult. 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-
regia, and she plan he deviied 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 bed home, 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 variety 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 i
good reason. He had regretted the failure at the
time, and had been somewhat disposed to reproach
the
Legislature for their great indifference to the
wants of the people. Bat experince had corrected that

msthetic 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
htele 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.
witted, 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 had even in his recollection made
great advances, more especially among the labouring
i classees, and he believed the time bad now come when
1 the gentlemen of England must look to . themselves i'
they wished to keep their places—
al (
lHear, hear)—if thee,
wanted to keep in advance in the qualities tiles
went to make the perfect Englishmen.—(Cheers.)
He head no doubt but that they would do so, and that.
while elevating the character of the masses, they should
see the aristocracy elevating themselves to still greater
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
chef rs.) Be did say, speaking from a pretty intimate
acqueeintsnce with the habits and character of the
working classes, and he believed his friend, Mr. Peto,
who sat on hie right band, would earth im out. in the
assertion, that in all the sterling qualiies 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 in
that class of people, and that all they wanted to raise
them to the level of their more fortunate and refined
countrymen was the application of that maxiut 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
woulo be communicated by the marvels of the Crystal
Palme, 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.—
(He asa hear.) As the mesas of recreation, the whole
queution depended on the temptation they could hold
out to those classes to visit the palace. As regarded
the temptation to visit, he thought that the exp erience
of the Exhibition of 1851 fully confuted the notion that
the people of England were 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 of less than six months, conducting thenssefves
with, the greatest decorum, and such 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 nayriadS,
as they had done before.--(Cheers.) As to the means
of inetruction, it must be understood that they reposed
in thus building to combine instruction with anamsement:
and ass to the means of instruction which they proposed
to offer, he could not illustrate the generel principle bet-
