Ne,c Order Of architecture. We have exam
ined some models of new style of Architec-
ture by Mr.. George J. Hayden, talented and
sell-taught young mechanic of Baltimore,
which be claims as entirely original, and terms
it the "Crystalne Order" 1t has been pro-
nounccd by all who have seen it, to be chaste
and beautiful, and, we think, destined to be ex-
tensively adopted, particularly, in the erection
of churches and other public buildings. MIR.
III. has dared to venture into the field of expe-
rinent, despite the regular course of all scier-
ti6c men, who have contented themselves with
the old orders ofarchitecture adopted centuries
ago, and we hope he may realize the fondest
hopes of those who desire the success of science,
especially when it is 10 be produced by native
genius. We copy the following description of
this invention, as furnished the Patriot, by tho
inventor:
"The design consists in the application of the |
simple and beautiful forms Of crystals to an or

ton of the octagon, applying any polygonal f.
