London Just Now.
From The Now York Express.

Little by little, the Crystal Paluce begins
TO show its aitrGctiycrcsS, aud little by little
| il continues to increase the number of its vi
sitors, though, singulurly enough, Just in pro-
! portion ms it appears to add 10 is daily bust
ness, the daily business of all London he
sides appears TO diminish. Here's phe-

persons per day visit the Exhibition, and
wander through its wilderness of rare aud
magnificent beauty. But, TO effect this, it
really seems as iftcn times the number were
absorbed from all the other avenues of com
merce in this vicinity of longitude nicihS, and
and every shop (store) stands idle in order to
afford the means of prosperity to this Castle
of Universal Industry.
There was a great deal of money eXpend-
cd here in advance, by all classes, under the
impression that London was about to be
crowded TO excess, that business was about
TO thrive to repletion, aud that it would only

the crowd from becoming too impatient in
IFS anxiety to purchase, at any possible price,
any and everything held up to its verdant
and curious yisionl Monster vnns were
built to parade the streets, covered with pla-
cards printed in variety of colors, aud in
an agreeable assortment of languages, that
those who ran might read, no matter what
haste, or what their vcrnacular. The omni-
buses formed themselves into advertising,
companies, aud not only raised their fares,
because they We're afraid they would not be
able TO accommodate the rushing millions
but let out their glass window-pancs by the

satisfied with the publicity by the uewspa-

way you will TO avoid this avalanche OF
gDiches.
The street organ grinders, not to be out OF
tue fashion, dropped their cases of incarcera-
ted music, rs too insignificant for the coming
Hood OF genuine California, and built thenl-
selves huge wagons, containing whole or.
chestra, aud little over, of Instrumentation
and provided themselves with horses to draw
about these loads of melody. The Punch

OF economical housewives, who slowed then

would be seeking for some place to lay theil

All these things, and many more, were
done, 1--WE mean il without bdtinage,) in anti

are lodgings to leI in every block of every
street IN London. There is not a hotel hall
full. There is not store half patronised.-
There is not theatre half filled. Pence, in.
stead ofpounds, are the circulating medium
aud, outside oftIle Crystal Palace, there Is
no crowd, no custom, no cash, and no chance
