A scene IN che Crystal Palace.


A correspondent Of the Boston Liberator,
who is known by the name Of VIM. Farmer,
writing from London, gives an account OF
visit he and other abolitionists made 10 the
Crystal Palace, with some white women and
three negro fugitives from the United States
who 90 by the names Of William and Ellen
Crafts and William Wells Brown. In the
party Of white men and women, were Mr..
and Mrs Estlin, Of Bristol, and lady friend,
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Webb, of Dublinand
a son and daughter, Mr.. Mcdonnell, VIM.
Farmer, (the correspondent of the laboratory
and Mrs. Thompson, Miss Thompson, and
Miss Amelia Thompson, the wife and daugh-
tiers Of George Thompson, the notorious abo-
liiionist. The letter writer says:
"Mr. Mcdonnell escorted Mrs. Craft and
Mrs. Thompson; Miss Thompson at her own
request took the arm of VIM. Wells Brown,
whose companion she selected for the day !;
Wm. Graft walked with Miss Amelia Thomp-
son and myself This arrangement was pur-
posely made, in order that there might be no
appearance Of patronixing the fugitives, but
that it might be shown that we regarded them
as our equals, dOo nOuOTcu tuctu ioC ttIctI IT.
roic escape from slavery"
The writer then goes on to tell how this
white and black party did all they could to
provoke a controversy with Americans who
were in the Exhibition Room at the time, but
were defeated, as the Americans rightly con-
sidered the whole party as equals, and as
such, to be treated only with consemptuous
silence.
The writer concludes his account Of the
exhibition Of brazen-faced efrontery, as fol-
lows:
"We promenaded the exhibition between
six and seven hours, aud visited nearly every
portion Of the vast edifice. Among the thou
sands whom we met in our perambulations

PAYING ARTICLES FOR NEWSPAPERS

PAYING ARTICLES FOR NEwsPAPERs.--
There is general misapprehension in re-

but Of the cultivated, intelligent minds of the
country. In reference to this subject. the
following experimental knowledge OF N. P.
Willis is the point.
A New York correspondent in late letter
says:
Willis told me, one evening about year
ago. that he was inclined and always was
tempted to philosophers, and that he would
like much TO be able to devote himself to a
higher order oil literature, but that it ,could'nt

We make the following extract from a
letter handed to US by a from a subscriber in
Gibson:
." Just saw two Of your Daies in which
there are editorials about Lockhart Wings.
Who are they? What are their names?-
Why don't you publish them2 Stick them
out in big black letters and surrounded by a
black border. in mourning for departed de-
cency. There is some anxiety up here to
know them, that they may be avoided. We
don't have any Lockhart Wings here"

An exchange paper says the following ac-

stuck her head in at the post Office window,
and calling TO the young man in the Office,

1856 was defensive alliance; and when, in l77s, dispute
arose IN relation to the Bavaran succession the Austrian
Government consulted France know whether she would
furnish her quota Of men, and would supply money as she
had engaged to do France refused do it. She refused it
because hers defensive alliance and this an ofen

engaged in with England, which required all her re-
sources and would be unjust her people and to her
safety divide those for the purpose OF aiding
Austria in this She also said that the contem
plated by the guaranty had ase because the which
Austria wished to wage Of conquest and that all
she could be presumed have done have guaranteed
the possessions which Austria had the time the alliance
made. Afterwards the Austrian Government again
suited France and sad what known 10 be the fact that

France would assist in preserving these provinces The
French replied that would too nearly compromise the

English and the Dutch, case which was examined with
