The RIDDLE CRYSTAL PALAcE-One OF the
last dsgraceful acts Of the defnct Corporation was
to make present of Reservoir Square TO Mr..
Riddle, of Boston, for the purpose of erecting
crystal palace in which to hold worlds fair or in
dus.rial exhibition OF the works of all nations
Madison Square was first voted away; and the in
habitants Of the vicinity raised such storm that
the grant was discovered to be illegal, and the
Common Coupcil mended their hand by giving, in-
stead Reservoir Square, hoping, forsooth that the
Bostonian Spectator would condescend to &C
cept it.
The Mayor, We believe, has not signed the new
grant, and we trust the new Common Council will
scout it. The scheme can be of no manner Of
benefit the public; on the contrary, it would be
highly injurious to large class of our citizens,
while it would defraud the whole city of the value
of public square, to enrich q specializing stran-
ger.
1t is well known that the Crystal Palace in Lon
don seriously interfered with the business of the
shopkeepers, and destroyed even the public amuse-
ments. This hollow show diverted attention from
everything else. The complaints were lsud and
bitter on the subject. Not only was the price OF
admission SO much money taken away from the
amount that would be expended on various articles
VI GIess, put Inc palace ltseH was turned into q
mart for tho sale of dry goods thus diverting trade
from its regular channels
The result would be the same in New York.
We have splendid dry goods palaces in Broadway
and other streets, and the effect of this plundering
scheme would be to deprive them Of their legti-
mate custem. Viii the proprietors of these stores
submit to it I!
What necessity is there for gigantic glass house
for the exhibition Of articles that can be found
moro conveniently in range Of substantial struc-
lures Of brick and stone and iron, extending for
three miles on either side Of the great thorough.
fare Of the cty-from the Battery to Union square!
1t is the most preposterous Of all the absurdities
recently brought to light. Glass itself is not SO
transparent as the humbug and how Corpora
ton representing the Taxpayers Of the city, could
with their eyes open, deliberately vote away the
property Of the people for such purpose is utterly
uncomfortable, unless upon the principle that they
have some interest, directly or indirectly, in the
farious iob

PRoGgEss OF EVANGELICAL RELIGION IN THE
OLD WoRLD.-We perceive that the Rev Or.
Baird, who has recently returned from Europe,
will address the American and Foreign Christian
Union, and the public generally, in the Tabernacle
this evening. The subject Of his discourse will be
the progress ofEvangelical religion in France, Bel
GUM, Holland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Ire
land, and other countries of Europe. DR.. Baird is
gentleman of comprehensive knowledge, win
deep powers of observation. We have no doubt
his lecture will be very interesting.
The subject Of free thought in religious matters
is strongly onnectcd withpolitics in the Old World
1t is a curious but very significant fact, that wher
ever the principles Of the Protestant reformation
took root, there the people are the most enlight-
ened, and there greater liberty prevails. In fact,
Luther's couq a'ttat in the religious world, was
bold stroke for civil as well as religious liberty
live contrast Southern Europe, where there is RIO
religious liberty, with Northern Europe, where
there is, we will that the people are more capa
BILE Of thinking and acting for themselves in the
latter than in the former i. consequently follows
that the people of the Northern nations better
qualified 70. selfgovernment than the others This
is an undenable fact and there is way, we think,
Of explaining it, except by the fact that there is
more religious freedom there. Germany, especially,
has made great progress in liberal ideas, and France
was making some Roadway in the same direction.
The recent action Of Louis Napoleon will probably
arrest it. however in the latter country and throw
it back in the scale Of liberalism OF every kind II
would be impossible for Louis Napoleon TO estatlih
military despotism in England or in the United
states. In either country he would lose his life FOR
his temerity. If any President Of the United
States we're 50 crazy as to attempt TO take the
whole government. into bis hands, he would be sent
to prison, impeacbei tried for high treason, con-
demned, but lot executed. In France hswever, the
