7118 VISIT OF THB ORPBRONISTS TO

TEE CRYSTAL PALACE.

Yesterday, at precisely three o'clock, a party of
above 3,000 gentlemen from France made their bow
to and acquaintance with an assemblage of a good
many thousands of the British public. The meeting
was most friendly and cordial on both sides, each
party seemed quite delighted with the other. One
might almost have supposed that treason had been
at work, for the eyes of the French on their arrival
were met on every side by the familiar aspect of
the " tricolour." Marching, division by division, in
the direction of the great orchestra, situated in the
central transept, they found it already, as though
by magic, portioned out into 28 compartments, each
inscribed with the name of a French province, em-
blazoned on crimson shields, surmounted by wreaths
of evergreens and flowers. Gilded eagles, were every-
where conspicuous ; busts of renowned compatriots
started from backgrounds of palms and shrubs, sug-
gestive of triumph; while in front of the organ the
likeness of an enormous eagle, with out-stretched
wings gave extra significance to a trophy of tri-
coloured flags. An emblematical device, represent-
ing two hands grasped in cordial amity, with
scrolls around the wrists of each, upon one of which
was labelled " France," and upon the other " Eng-
land," was symbolical of the work in hand—a
