THE FIRST OF MAY
" At length the plan
Begins to open. Lucid order dawns,
They spread their various treasures to the view,
And bid the world admire."

AKEICSIDE.

The first of May is now at hand, when the Crystal ievilien will
open its ample portals for the inauguration of an event without pa-
rallel in the history of the world. To a mind susceptible of emotion
the bare contemplation of such a spectacle is exciting in the highest
decree; and, doubtless, " the world of wonders" in itself will be
captivating and startling to mhida of the least susceptibility. Crea-
tive genius, aided by philosophy and science, has been busily operat-
ing in every conceivable branch of human art; and we may safely
come to the conclusion that the thousandfold observers of this mighty
display will be left in bewilderment at the all but super-human re-
sults of a world's emulation. Man's utmost powers have been la-
vished on this grand and comprehensive scheixie, and the fruits of
these labours-will be manifest in every diversity of design.
The most vivid imagination is incapable of. Adequately picturing
the splendour of the inaugural ceremonies of this stupendous spec-
tacle. The public mind has been in a measure,prepared for the event
by the frequent notices of talented writers ; expectation has been
raised to its highest pitch. and the wide world ints been led to anti-
cipate a scene such as will cast in the shade all the most gorgeous
pageants of the earth, The scene which the Crystal Palace will pre-
sent, on the first of May, wPI he an epitome of the world's handi-
work, and all that is great, beautiful, and useful will then be exhi-
bited to view : and we shall thus have an opportunity of judging as
to the progress of six thousand years. • . .:,

While the tables and galleries will dispiay costly gems, precious
metals, istricato machinery, beautiful statuary, vases, immense loco-
motives, ergass of astounding magnitude, horological instruments,

castings, modellings, elegant stationery, furniture and a thousand
other products of industry, native and foreign, the eye will be irre-
sistibly attracted by the various novel, beautiful, and useful speci-
mens of materials for attire.
lIYASI and CO., from their own personal experience can vouch for
the high character of the Grand Exposition in this essential respect.
The proprietors hr..
ve.observed with astonishment and admiration
the improvements and inventions to sosith the coming event has
given rise. In no branch ()fart has the Spirit of universal rivalry
been more successfully operative, and Irrlat and CO. have antici-
patcd the Exhibition in the display of most of these elegant and
useful improvements at their various houses in and out of the
metropolis. stock A view of lIYIM and CO.
only 'S splendid will excite the
with reference admi-
ration of ail parties ; not e to the beauty and uti-
lity of material, but also in point of superior manufacture into ar-
ticles of dress. Added to those recommendations is that of cheapness
—a recommendation which has ever beets found In the offers of the
proprietors,
who feel confident that their specimens of fashion will
add much to the effect of the spectacle which the first of May will
