FIIE Public are respectfully informed that, early
1. In Jul.' next, there will be Opened. at Si' OEORGE'S GAL-
LERY, Hyde pirk-corner, all ORIENTAL AIUsEUM. or
a Grand Exhibition of Turk soh Curiosities, consi-ting of the richest
and most varied costumes, both ancient and modern, itsplayed on
wax figures, life size, executed in the finest style, and illustrative of
not only the ~bolished institution of the far-famed Janissaries, the
renowned militia of the Turkish empire. with their ancient uniform
and armour, but al, o of the various modes 01 the present day of the
Osinatilis. The figures ire highly characteristic, and the materials
of the costumes sslected from the richest Oriental fabrics, with the
strictest adaptation to the habits and castes of the people which they
are designed to represent'
No expense or labour has been spared to ender this Exhibition
worthy of the attention and patronage of the British public, and we
have been assured by persons of the greatest distinction, that a more
accurate and satisfactory impression of the true Oriental taste and
style, b .th of former times, as well as of the present day, may be
obtained by an hour passed in this Museum, than is usually gained
by many miles of travel. The most implicit truthfulness has b• en
maintained lit all the arragements and msny items which would be
curious even to the native inhabitance of Stamboul, are here given
to the world in all their primitive originality. The gorgeous cos-
tumes of bygone days, the days of the turbaned and robed Osmanli,
remembered only in the past, are now revival and displayed in all
their natural and exquisite beauty.
Apart from ail intrinsic merit, it is hoped that the great sympathy
now felt by the British public for the Turkish nation will insure the
success of this most intere solestin and trulunique Turkish Exhibition.
The undersigned being the managers 01 this Oriental Museum,
all matters relating to the Exhibition will be transacted by them,
and all communications must be addressed to them cotsjointly.

REPRESENTATION of the CITY of LON-
to be acgu tinted with its condition and institutions, to
be willing to
HON.—The representatives of the City are
generally expected
take a share in the business of the Legislature, and anxious to ad-
vance the interests of the country and its colonies. But who have
long represented the city, country, and colonies in their nosiness in-
tei eats and resources ? E. Mosxs and SON 1 Who have studied
their commerce and have gratified the wishes of all classes
Who are always returned by overwhelming majorities ? E. MOSES
and SON. It It their only ambition to represent, in the most efficient
manner, the various stations in society by the most suitable, artistic,
and seasonable attire. To do that with the greate,t care, despatch,
and economy, they have engaged in enterprises which have no pa-
rallel. The taste and the claims of she world's constituency they
fully understand, and no amount of business wearies their energies,
or relaxes their activity. whatever professions they make they are
ready on all i ccasions to fulfil. Their attire for the summer season
exhibits a very unusual degree of variety in materials, talent, design,
and superiority of workmanship ; and to order or ready made may
be obtained at their City or West-end establishments, at the most
economical prices.
Dress for juveniles and young gentlemen coming home for the holi-
days is best obtained at E. MosEs and SON'S. It has the advantage
of being more fashionable, comfortable, elegant, and durable then any
offered elsewhere. Hosiery goods, the richest and most useful—Hats
and Caps, the newest styles and most comtortable wear—Roots and
Shoes, which cannot be equalled—may be procured at E. MOSES and
SON'S, at considerably lower charges than are customarily made.
The largest wholesale Clothing. Shirt, and Boot and Shoe depart-
ment in the world is at the establishment of E. MoSEs and i-ost.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
p ii Pc against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
fabah ol of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, anu for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON,
except their own Establishments, as follows :

east and in the north ; and their presence has driven
back and confined the fleets of the enemy within those
retreats, from whence they dare not show themselves.
(Renewed cheers.) At the same time our brave soldiers,
guided by two of our princes, and our most illustrious
generals, are traversing the Mediterranean to fight by
the side of an ally who has found, in the justice of
her cause and devotion of her people the secret of sus-
taining valiantly a terrible struggle against an aggression
as formidable as it is unjust. Already we may admire
on the shores of the Danube, at-Odessa, at Silistria, in
the Baltic Sea,- their valour and their magnanimity.
(Cheers.) Let us hope that other triumphs are reserved
for them. - On the other side, gentlemen, the arts of
peace have never ceased to illustrate both England and
France. At no epoch has the intellectual, industrial,
and commercial power been manifested with more acti-
vity and grandeur. (Cheers.) You have only to look
around you and you will have a most palpable proof of
the striking evidences of this fact. In Paris, as in Lon-
don, human labour exhibits all its wonders, and in the
same way that, under the impulse given by the Emperor
Napoleon,. the Louvre approach es completion, so her
Most Gracious*Majesty, the Soveireign of Great Britain,
inaugurates this palace of wonders. (The noble count
resumed his seat amid great applause.)
The Earl of CARLISLE, who was warmly cheered, pro-
posed the toast " Success to the Crystal Palace," and in
doing so, said : I have been honoured by a request to
propose to you a toast upon the present occasion, and
whatever may be the shortcomings of the proposer, and
whatever the dignity of the audience, I yet feel sure that
I may calculate upon your ready and unanimous ap-
proval. (Cheers.) That toast is " Success to the Crystal
Palace." (Loud and protracted cheering.) lam hap-
pily relieved from any necessity of explaining or recom-
mending such a toast by the notoriety of all the circum-
stances which have attended the origin and progress of
this great undertaking, by the interest evinced in the very
fact of the attendance of an assembly of such varied dis-
tinction, and, above all, by the mute but eloquent and
all-sufficing testimony of the fabric itself. It may be said,
not I am happy to think, as an epitaph upon the tombs
of the men who have contributed to its completion,
but as a tribute to their living merits, " If you want
a monument, look around." (Cheers.) Success, then,
to the Crystal Palace, partly on account of that liberal
breadth which has distinguished the whole conception,
principle, and design ; for while, as we saw last week,
crowned heads and their representatives, and universities
and municipalities, the great, the learned, and the fair,
crowded around its cradle and blessing its auspicious
birth, there is not an obscure class of society, there is
not a struggling son of toil, for whom it does not store
up and throw open its treasures, whether for blameless
recreation or wholesome instruction,—(great cheering)—
and while its contents may minister to the most refined
taste and to the soundest knowledge, it seeks to provide
for the common, the public, the einiversal enjoyment.
(Renewed cheers.) " Success to the Crystal Palace,"
since to those who by their circumstances, their means
or their duties, are confined to the narrower circuit of
our own shores, it extends some, at least, of the plea-
sures and advantages which haves been, heretofore ex-
clusively confined to the wealthy or the unoccupied.
(Hear, hear.) I myself, who now- thus venture to ad-
dress you, come here fresh with the most recent impres-
sions of all that is most lovely in nature and most ad-
mirable in art. Yet when I weeder into the Greek,
Italian, or Byzantine court above, I can almost feel that
I am again gazing at the glittering .cupolas of St. Sophia
or St. Mark's or upon those masker-pieces of Phidias
which still remain on their own nor aortal rock. (Hear.)
Yet in these delicious climes the ought will too often
obtrude itself which is contained in. the expressive line of
one of oar poets, that—
" All, save the spirit of man, is divine"—
(hear) ;—but here, under our weepinig skies, and amidst
our murkier atmosphere, the spirit of man has been en-
abled to recabthe foliage, the bloat eiss, and the odours
of the tropics, or to retrace the u nsurpassed forms of
human genius. Success, again, to the Crystal Palace,
because throughout its birth, its gros rth, and its maturity
it has been the work of private enter! irise. And although
in its rapid progress it has been constantly cheered by
a royal smile, and sustained throughout by the sympa-
thy of millions, yet it is through iieibidden and unaided
efforts that it has become all that :yen now see it. (Hear.)
I could not wish, and if I could wish, I should not be
able to classify the services which have brought about
this brilliant result. I may just ~ay for myself that the
pleasure I have felt in being prese ills this day has been
materially enhanced by a long pri seat) regard fbr my dis-
tinguished friend Sir Joseph Pro ton. (Loud cheers,
during which Sir Joseph Paxton ho wed his acknowledg-
ments.) And you will also, perhaps, just allow me to
say that I feel assured you will joi n in the regret I my-
self cat not fail to feel, that the buiiness, both of this day
and of last Saturday, has wanted. the presence of an-
other friend still more intimately connected with him—l
allude to the Duke of Devonshire: (Hear.) But I feel
confident that, though I decline tcle!e task of classifying
any difference of merit or exertiOni that may exist be,
tween the distinguishei persons wino have brought this
great enterprise thus far to maturity, any such differ-
ence will be most accurately and 'candidly measured by
the agents in the work themselves. I know, too, that
the prospect of its being a remunerative enterprise can-
not have been the one that was foremost in their minds;
yet they, as well as we, are bound to wish, if only as a
test of the amount of pleasure 'arid benefit which the
Crystal Palace may confer upon others, that it should be
abundantly remunerative to then as elves. (Cheers.) And
this, lam sure, you will all feel, however romantic or
chivalrous their disregard may be for their own inter-
ests. (Renewed applause.) Success then, once more
for all, to the Crystal Palace. (Renewed cheers.) It
is the wish of my heart that many a happy generation
may disport themselves beneath its gleaming roofs,
all along its well stored courts and suggestive galleries,
or among its gay parterres and stately terraces, and
there feel the thrill of gratification to the Creator
who has implanted in their souls the sense of beauty, and
learn those lessons of lowly reverence which offers up all
the treasures of this world as an incense to the God of
all worlds. (Great cheering). I have thus said little
enough, I know, for my subject; but I trust I have said
enough to induce you, on this occasion, to join with
me in drinking with as much warmth and goodwill as
the wish requires, " Success to the Crystal Palace."
The toast was drunk with three times three, and with
the most enthusiastic applause.
The CHAIRMAN, in responding to the toast, said that
circumstances had made him to a great extent the spokes-
man and official mouthpiece of this undertaking. An
undertaking of this description wee of necessity managed
by boards of numerous directors, and as a board of
eight or ten gentlemen could not speak all at once with
any effect before an assembly like the present, it became
necessary that one individual, their chairman, should be
their mouthpiece. It was his fortune then to occupy
that position to-day, and trusted they would remember
that there were many who acted, although there may be
only one to speak, and that the merit, whatever it be,
was distributed amongst those colleagues whose spirit
and energy had assisted in conducting the undertaking
to a successful issue. Still further, to go for a moment
beyond the board of directors of whom he was the official'
organ and mouthpiece, he would say that he was glad to
have the opportunity of doing that which the noble earl
had told them it did not devolve on them to do, namely,
to classify in some degree the merit which might be ap-
propriated to different parties who had embarked in this
enterprise. This was a task which he had no hesitation in
performing. And, first, he would classify the merit by
assigning to his distinguished friend (Sir J. Paxton) the
merit of designing this undertaking. They might have
had 20 or 100 boards of directors to do what the pre-
sent board had done, but they could not have had another
Sir Joseph Paxton. (Much cheering.) He was the
only individual at this moment living and breathing in
Europe who could have achieved that proud triumph of
science and art which has reared the Crystal Palace of
Sydenham on that beautiful and magnificent hill.
(Cheers.) In proceeding with his classification he would
next mention two names also henceforth illustrious in
the annals of English art—he alluded to his friends, Mr.
Owen Jones and Mr. Digby Wyatt. (Renewed cheers.)
It wee to their eminent talent, and to their unwearied
zeal and assiduity that the collection of these treasures
of art, which we all admired, was mainly owing ; and if
the reproach, which had so long attached to England, of
not understanding and appreciating the fine arts was
destined, as he hoped it was, speedily to pass away, he
did say that to those three names—Paxton, Jones, and
Wyatt—would be due the gratitude of our posterity, if
we could show that this country was not behind the rest
of the world in its appreciation of the fine arts as well as
in the cultivation of the pursuits of commerce. (Cheers.)
To return to the board of directors, whose organ he was,
the only merit they claimed in promoting this under-
taking was, that they had faith in the genius of those
great men, and faith, also, in the English people. (Loud
cheering.) He said "faith in the English people," be-
cause, if this undertaking was to be carried out to a
successful conclusion, it was evident that, however
highly we may value the patronage of the distinguished
and the noble of the land, who had that day honoured
them with their presence, it was to the hardworking,
industrious millions of England that they must look
for the complete success of the work. (Renewed
cheers.) For his part, he would say of himself and of
every one of his colleagues, because he knew it from
intimate conviction, that they entertain the strongest
and most assured faith in the mass of the English na-
tion in supporting whatever deserved to be supported,
and giving them success. if it be true that they
deserved to achieve it, (Cheers.) The noble earl h
truly observed that remuneration was not t object
he obec
sought for in this undertaking. They had, he trus
pursed a higher and nobler object. (Hear, hear.) At
the Caine time he did not conceal the anxiety with which
they looked forward to this enterprise being remuneracon-
-
tive as a commercial speculation ;
for they were
sinned that should it prove masses o, it would be the
signal for embarking great of the overflowing
signal

—the palace of the people of England—realised to its
utmost extent. (Loud and continued cheering.)
The CIAIRIIAN proposed " The Health of the Ladies
of England," which, having been drank with due gal-
lantry and heartiness, the company withdrew to pro-_
manacle in the palace to the strains of the music of the
Crystal Palace band, roam amid the treasures of art
contained in the various courts, or inhale the salubrious
and refreshing summer breezes as they are wafted over
the park and terraces.
It is but an act of justice to the directors and managers
to state that the refreshments and wines supplied at the
dejeuner, entirely from the company's own cuisine and
stores, were of the finest and most recherché character,
and Mr. Horne is entitled to great praise for the ad-
mirable and very complete manner in which, under novel
circumstances and with many difficulties to contend
with, the whole of the necessary arrangements were car-
ried into effect.
