THE GREAT EXHIBITION.


The following extracts from a London let

''You viii naturally expect

given, to one accustomed 10 such things. of
the overwhelming grandeur Of the building
as an aggregate, by a simple recital of figures
aud dimensions; and tolorable idea may BE-
formed even by the uninitiated Of the vast
ness of the work from the prints and accom-
panying explanations executed in every va
riety of art, and published in every language
of the world, which are sold at the corners
Of the streets, at from one penny to ten shil-
lings apiece. But the beautiful and varied
detail of the Exhibition can be kps--n only
by personal inspection, III were to write

cles of taste and usotul ness upon which they
now stake their reputl-tons and found their
hopes offuture success. Many fortunes will
bc made in moment, and many will decline
from the day OF the opening of the exhibition.
Exhibitors heretofore unknown, have at
once leaped into the foremost rank as manu-
iaeturers, by the display of their goods hore,
and have now more orders than can be exc
cuted in years, and from a source that will
not fail as long as the character of the goods
is sustained.
On the other hand, many justly celebrated
manufactures on the continent and in Eng
land, have contributed little or nothing to
the show. Their proprietors, undertaking
the Importance of the occasion as a means of
advertising, will as assuredly lose in pounds,
shillings, and pence, by their negligence, as
others will reap a harvest from their enter
prise. This is now thought to be much more
the case than WAS at first supposed. In ma
ny cases architects and decorators ofthe first
standing have been brought over from the
continent by individual exhibitors with un-
limited orders TO add 20 the beauty of the dis
play by the expenditure Of any amount Of
money and by every resource Of their respec-
tive arts Thus the Crystal Palace contains
within itself hundreds of minor palaces equal
ly beautiful, yet each differing from the other
in the style, material and period Of It's decor
ations. Thousands of pounsls have, in some
instances, been thus expended by individuals
on the calculation, which has proved correct,
of receiving IL back with interest from the
great public $50"

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
BOUNTY LAND LAW,

commissioned commissioned officers, IN usi.

who were mustered into the service Of the United
States, and who served the length of time required
by said act He proceeded to explain the object Of
the resolution There were soldiers who were mus
tered into the service of the United States, served
three months, and mustered out of 1t, but who,
because they engaged in no actual hoe
tiiites and bloodshed, not entitled TO bounty,
under the strict construction Of the Secretary Of the
Interior. He says that they have meritorious
claims, but, by the construction which he IL bound
70 give, they are excluded. His (Mr. H's) reso-

and harmonize. They ought to b regarded a. q
settlement, in principle and in substance, OF the
dangerous and exciting subjects which they ON
brace, and such should be acquiesced in until
time and experience shall demonstrate the neces-
sity of further Legislation to guard against evasion
and abuse.
:" Rssolred, If the Senate concur, that the people
Of the State of New York are now, a. they have
ever been, sincerely attached the union of the
States; that they regard the Constitution of the
United States the palladium Of political safety
and prosperity That they will faithfully adhere
to it in all its parts, execute its stpulations, and
maintain and defend its compromises; and that,
without reference to the past il ia their earnest de-
sire, as it will be their effort, that amity may be
established among the States upon firm and lasting
foundations; harmony preserved in the national
councils, and our glorious Union made perpetual.

present Wine Administration, as they are de-
veloped by their public acts and in their print
ed documents. They show the ground on
which President FILLMORE stands, and on
which he seeks to rally the friends of his Ad-
minstration. This ground he has not taken
sense of the obligations and responsibilities
which rest upon him as the Chief Magistrate
of great Republic. And on this ground
he means to stand-supported, as he hopes
and believes, by the opinions and the sym
pathies of his countrymen. If in this he
should be disappointed, and he should be
overwhelmed by adverse numbers, on this
ground he intends to fall; with the conscious
ness that he has sought to pursue the policy
which, in his judgment, the best interests of the
whole Republic demand, and has discharged
the entire duty devolved upon him as the Chief
Magistrate of twenty-five millions of people.
1t would doubtless be to him source of high
qualification to be sustained by majority of the
Legislature Of New York. but he would be
unjust to his mission if his views were bounded
by any State horizon His loyalty is due to the
people Of the United States. In view of his
national allegiance, local obligations are of
secondary interest; but even this sentiment
cannot render him Indifferent to the sup
port of his friends in any quarter. Few
or many, let us know who are willing
to rally in his support, and who are quick to
desert him in the hour of his peril. Let the
WHIGs, who rallied with HARRISON, and CLAY,
and TAYLOR, remain true TO the national senti-
ments which inspired them in the struggles
marked by the names of these great men, and
we shall have no fear of the result. Under no
circumstances shall we have fear of the result.
We care not how soon the Wing party is
purged Of the men who prefer the alliance of
RHETT, GIpDINGs, and GARRISON, to that of
CRIrrENpEN, WEBSTER, and FILLMORE.
