The WORLDS FAIR AT New YoRK-The managers OF
the Association for the Exhibition Of the Industry of all
Nations are, we learn, pushing forward the erection of the
Crystal Palace designed for the of the exhibition
with all possible despatch; and though circumstances,
less incident to all great enterprises will prevent
the completion OF the building in time for It's opening
the period first announced, the 81 OF May yet il is
rendered almost, If not entirely, certain that the delay
will extend than month, and that about the
first OF June this grand and interesting exhibition will be
thrown open The supestructure of the building nearly
all done, with the exception OF the dome, the raising Of
which has been commenced The interior work will be
at once proceeded with and rapidly completed The
beauty and fitness of the building generally admired
lis progress renders these points conspicuous and il
will OF itself form of the most attractive features OF
the exhibition The general supernendence OF its cree
ton has been confled 10 Capt Dupont, OF the navy,
assisted by Capt c. II Davis, both gentlemen of ac.
knowledged ability and energy The agricultural depart
ment of the exhibition will be intrused to Col b. p
Johnson, secretary OF the New York Agricultural Society;
the machinery will be placed under The charge OF Mr.
Joseph E. Holmes, OF Hadey Falls Massachusetts, and
the mineraogical branch will be taken charge of by
Prof B. Silliman, IT,, OF New Haven These are all ex.
celen appointments and under their these depart
ments OF the exhibition must conduce TO useful well
as attractive results
The interest which is felt in The exhibition abroad has
been manifested by the receipt a, New York, by the re-
cent arrival OF three packet ships, OF five hundred pack
ages Of articles designed for exhibition. Gratifying reports
have also been received OF the success OF Col Hughes the
European agent OF the exhibition whose efforts have re-
suited in obtaining the promise OF many valuable conr-
buttons OF foreign manufacture and art. The French
government, il is minated at his suggestion, will send
vessel of freighed with the conir buttons Of that
nation, and accompanied by special commissioned.
1t is evident therefore, that the exhibition will not be
lacking in contributions from abroad and our own ct-

rFrom a private letter to a gen.
tleman in this place, from politician
in the upper part of the State. we
learn the following facts in reference
to the election. Joqss has been
elected to- the House in Madison. In
Morehouse Jones beat Jones 167. For
Congress in Calcasieu, it is supposed
that Jones (dem) will beat Jones
(whig) by large majority. This is
however doubtful. For State Senate,
in the Catahoula district, Roger Jones
will beat.
