remarkable TO relate concerning the origin ana
FIRST idea of this grand affair. Ii is an undoubted
fact that the first origin of this idea IN London,
with Prince Albert and its promoters, was sug
Sested by, and began with, the Netc York Herald.
A fair or exhibition Of this kind was, for years,
common in the United States-at New York and
Philadelphia, but unknown in Europe. In the year

Herald long historical article on fairs in general,
tracing them in their origin to the remotest pc
riods-showing that they arose in Oriental coun-
tries, and referring to the mention ofthem alu-
sions TO them, in the Bible. II was then stated in
the Herald, that the far,-such the industrial ex-
hibition at Castle Garden,-was peculiar TO merica
alone, and that it originated and carried on in
America alone. This article in the Herald was CO.
pied extensively in the leading literary periodicals
IN London, and first drew the attention Of Europe to
this species of industrial xhibitons which, having
began in Phlladel pha, perfected in New York,
and after many years Of gradual progress had be-
come regular annual National Exhibition. Hence

idea for England, Irom the Herald and it is in fact

in both countries any thing national, to be carried
out, must be begun aud carried on by the
reign. The undoubted truth of what is here stated

nations. There has not been such an important
and pregnant step taken by the kings Of the old
world since the great Congress Of Vienna, after the
fall of Napoleon. L i the more important be-
cause IL is more secret, aud carried with more
obscurity and silence. England is deemed too
popular and liberal power to be admitted into the
secret conclave IL j. some such meeting as that
between Mare Antony, Lepidas, and Augustus,
when they met on olitary island, to settle the
government of The word, and 70 share out the
provinces of the Roman Empire among them. The
Emperor OF Russia is the Augustus, equally grasp

lead of Austria, viii be the grand council in which
the lesser states Of Germany will receive
orders how 70 act, what to DO, and how to
crush the popular principle. The English
government, mad with its great gewgaw, and
the people divided by religious disputations and

Vaccinations among sOyereigns, which soon will
gather strength 70 put down all that is left Of the
popular element, both in France and England. The
