Time draws on Twenty days more will see the
world in Hyde-park, and as yet We can hardly tell
how things will shake into their places. Some
people take one view, some another some look
upon 1851 the true anus muablis, and upon the
Great Exhibition as the grandest idea of the CEN
fury. Others seem to fancy that all fairs partial
nuisances, and that the biggest fair in the world is
not likely to be an exception. NJ Soyer is full of
hope, Colonel Sibthorp OF despair. Meantime other
countries are looking on, and as bystanders often
see more Of the game than the players themselves,
perhaps We may take a hint from our neghbors
Here follow the reflections Of the Nec York Herahl
on this pacific festival ofindustry and trade.
The Great London Exposition" according 70
our amiable contemporary, "is, first and foremost,
great London speculation, and it is computed
that we shall pocket pretty handsome dividend
This, Of course, is rather provoking to American
eonceits, for it looks if we had got clean ahead
in point of smartness. However, there is some
consolation at bottom, il we are made to pay Tor
our whistle; and this We are described as being

complacent and self-conceited personage," and the
exhibition which he is bent is that OF himself.

cimens of that natyye raw material" represented

twill probably leave New York in few days,
with the most Interesting specimens Of philosophy
and socialism which any country has ever produced.
A deputation of American socialists, filed TO the
brim with all the combustibles OF red republican
ism, socialism, ehartsm, and anti-rentism, will
take the front rank OF the agitators who are to be
concentrated in London during the summer In
this department, Mt any rate, the Americans are
resolved, il seems getting the very first prize.
Naturally, after such conclusion, the upshot
of the whole show. and the Hyad, therefore, be-
takes itself to reflections the consequences OF the
exhibition ''under these very favorable crcum-
stances fora strike at the integrity of her Maesys
empire"

transatlantic rapdity. " Great Britain is deeply
agitated with the Catholic questions; there j. no

The announcements however, Of our contcmpo-
