ut- every direction. Cameron was also pissing at the

Mr. HENRY said tnat the boardman had no right to

that did not justify the conduct of the prisoners. L

RAMBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY )
. • 'he attendance at the Crystal Palace continues to in-
'.Weese; and WO perbeive that each day is bringing new
gieitt proportion of whom are arrivals from
• Ice country. The complaints which were at first raised
' to the long duration of the ss. admittaece, seem now
to have turned into laments for its brevity, fur there is
cut little doubt that an impression is entertained in the
cohntrY districts that when the doors are open at a Ail-
licge"the building will be so crowded that locomotion
irons department to department will be difficult, and a
satisfactory inspection absolutely impossible. Tne con-
Sequence is, that all who can afford are hurrying up to
titin to see as much as possible before the ss. days are
Q'er, ,and. for the next ten days we expect that the
. Itolount received at the doors will be greater than ever.
'be following are a few of the objects a hich especially
reacted` our .attentiou this morning :—ln the mineral
41"Pelitinent, Mr. Nelis, who its proprietor of the Tyrone
Constitution paper, exhibits a case of beautiful Irish
come df-them are of extreme purity, and they vary in
site from a pin's head to a large horse bean. They are
found in shells, and seem, to undergo different stages of
&relation at some of Which they are of peculiar bril-
The carriage department contains specimens of almost
eves, description of private carriages which are used—
stately family barouche, the dashing curricle, the
knowing dog-cart, and the useful brougham. The in-
`carriage, with a door behind for the introduction
of a tiOuch„intended for the use of those who are unable
either to step into a carriage or sit upright, is an object
of great attention, aid when occasionally the attendant
°Pens 'the carriage and draws forth a couch, on which
reclines the figure of a lady at full length, a crowd is
lure to gather round. Mr. Anderson, of Elgin, also ex-
hibits.a Victoria car, by the construction of which
the danger
_which always seems to attend_ those who
ride on the back seat.ot those favourite conveyances of
the day, called doroarts, is entirely obviated. It is
stilide.with high wheels and low seats, so that no acci-
dent can take place. We can scarcely conceive a more
agreeable-vehicle for 'general use, and its appearance is of
the lightest description.
In the Southern Gallery, immediately over the tran-
sept, is a counter, which will, we are sure, be visited by
every Scotchman who enters the Crystal Palace. It is
_certainly one of the most interesting national exhibitions
Within its walls. It consists of a splendid collection of
loom wove tweeds and tartans, exhibited by Mr.
McDougall, of Inverness, arranged in a manner which
cannot fail to catch the eye of the least observant. The
collection of tartans embraces all the different clans of
the:Highlands in various materials, from the finest to
the coarsest, niers are also specimens, native manufac-
ture, of every description and of an exceedingly interest-
ing ,nature—linsey woolsey made from bog cotton,.
tweeds manufactured at the far distant St. Kilda, gloves
ntthe wool of the mountain hare, Highland brooches
carved from bog oak, deer-teeth, and cairngorms. Of
this last article, cairngorms or rock-crystal, the speci-
niens exhibited are, we believe, the largest known. Mr.
WDougall, we understand, has been engaged since No-
/ember last in getting together the collection now exhi-
'bites], and certainly it is one of the greatest national
kteresi.
The specimens of workings in precious metals and
jewellery are of the richest and most admirable descrip-
tion, and would well repay a day's inspection. A vase
exhibited by Messrs. Watherton and Broyden, of Hen
rietta-street, after a design by Mr. Alfred Brown, is a
Seal of art of the most exquisite nature; it weighs 95
ounces, and is ornamented with relievos representing the
Britons, Romans, Saxons, and Normans, the progenitors
of the British nation; and below these, introduced into
noncaees, are busts cf Nelson, Wellington, Milton.
Shakespere, and Newton, crowned by figures of Fame;
the Cover is surmounted by a group composed of Lbr
pgures of Britannia Scotia, and Ilibsrnia,and the whole
is richly ornamented with diamonds, pearls, carbuncles,
and emeralds, relieved by cinqae-cento ornamental
ground.
Not far from this, exhibited by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell,
11-5 silver cup, the last work of that kind which was
superintended by Chantrey. It was presented to Cherie s
sketnble on his retirement from the stage. The friesa
represents the Seven Ages, the figure of Kemble as
Hamlet being placed on the summit.
A testimonial is also exhibited which was presented
to Mr. Lumley, the director of Her Majesty's theatre,
modelled and designed by Mr. Brown. The figures
4,Pon this o
aks f
art represent Melpomene, Thalia,
4erpsichore, and Euterpe.

:LONDON HILANTH o Flo SOCIETY,—The annual
festival ;in aid of the fun )s of this institution was held
Yesterdayat the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street; Mr.
M.P., in the chair. Atter the cloth had
been removed, and the usual loyal toasts had been proposed,
the chairman gave the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to
the London Philanthropic Society." This, he said, was one
of many institutions which had been established for the
amelioration of the condition of the working classes. The
society had especial claims upon the public at large on ac-
count of the quiet and unostentatious manner in which it
relieved those who were in distress, when their cases came
under the cognizance of the society, and who would otherwise
have remained in misery and pov,rty all the days of their
lives. The Rev. Dr. Carlisle returned thanks for the
Army and Navy and for the Royal Philanthropic Society in
an, amusing and acceptable speech ; and he proposed the
health of Dr. Lever, who proposed the health of the
Chairman and the Managing Comurttee. Upwards of 300/.;
collected during the evening, was added to the funds of the
society.
TN • MOTES or ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE,
The poor-law. board, in reference to the recent abandonment
of the prosecution • against Mr. Eatou, the master of the
think
groper or o b
Workhouse, h‘Vedalledtpon the directors • of the poor of St.
Pancras to be favoured with such further explanation
nervations as the governors and directors may
to make, with the view of putting them into complete
pos-
session of all • the facts and circumstances of the case, ad
they say It is incumbent upon them to :,certain as plainly
as possible in what circumstance the charge originated, upon
what view it was taken up, and to a certain extent :rimier:
forward by the governors and directors, and why it
ul-
timately abandoned by them." At a numerously attended,
meeting yesterday Mr. Mortimore Titnpson moved, an
Erie :seconded, a resolution that the clerk be directed to fr.
ward to the poor-law board a copy of the evidence taken and
every other information rrquired.
THE FOUR MONSTER CASKS or WINE.--Last
week these extraordinary casks were landed upon the East-
ern Dock-quay, where they have remained awaiting the
erection of shears and the additional apparatus until yester-
day, when the London Dock Company succeeded in re-
shipping them in lighters, and landing them on the Crescent-
quay. rhe two smaller casks were successfully conveyed to
the place appointed for them (a distance of about 80 yards),
without injury; but to attempt a similar duty with the two
larger " monsters " has caused the greatest consternation
among the Dock authorities, they having great apprehension
respecting the risk ar:d possibility of moving them further.
A consultation took place between Mr. John Fowler, the
importer and consignee, of. Wells-street, Cripplegate, the
maker of the monster casks, and the principal manager of
the.directors. The company were finally to decide yester-
dayby what means they will undertake to place in safety
these invalaahle wines.
b' ROBBERY AT THE GRRAT EXHITSITION,—Yoster-

day •intormation was forwarded to the Police Commissioners
that a robbery had been conimi,ted in tue American depart-
ment of the Great Exhibition, under very mysterious circum-
stances :--,--It appears that Mr. D. %V. Wisson, of Hertford,
Conue.ticut, amongst other articles, had sent a peculiar de-
tached breecher rifle pistol, with stock to form a gun. The
article in question was tound in its proper place on the day
of her Md.pity opening, the Exhibition. but it was yesterday
found to have been stolen by some person or persons un-
known. The article, although of trifling value in comparison
with some of the other things in the palace, has caused no
little consternation amongst the officials, they having con-
sidered, from the strong police force kept in the bulding, that
it was next to an impozsibili,y for any one to commit a
**try withi4 th. Eshibitioo.
