New York, July Goth. 1853.
Mr.. EDITOR Yesterday 1 spent ano-
ther day at the Palace. 1t is surprising
to see what changes twenty-four hours
produce in the app aranee of things, these
boxes which one day invite the conjec-
ture of the curious as to the character of
their contents, the next have disappear
ed, and some vacant stall teens with the
productions of art and industry. En-
ergy has characterized every movement
connected with the Palace ever since the
corner stone was laid, and it flags not
now. If matters progress at their pre-
sent rate, six weeks will see everything
completed and in order. Two thou
sand six hundred and fifty persons enter
ed yesterday on single tickets; 1850 were
admitted on season tickets, making near
ly 1000 persons in all Distributed
throughout this vast space, however, in
the ground floor and galleries, they looked
like nero handful.
The receipts at the door yesterday
were $13o7,75; for the six days of the
last week they amounted to So, lat, be-
ing an average of about $1358 day
The receipts will, no doubt, be conside-
rably larger when the whole is complete ;
for most OF our own citizens that have
not purchased season tickets are postpo-
ming their visits till that time. Next
month, and in the early part of Septem-
Der, the influx from the South and
west will be greater; and taken in con-
nection with the return of our own citi-
zens to their homes, will produce per-
ceptible increase in the number of visi-
tors, and consequent income. The ave-
rage receipts throughout the whole Exhi-
bition, including season tickets, will pro-
badly be over S14OO day. 1t would
seem as if this ought to be a satisfactory
income, the expenses for the same period
being about $3.50, and the amount invest
ed 100000. Yet strange to say, i'm
mediatcly after the opening. the stock
which had stood as high as las. fell to
1875. This is no doubt, owing to some
Wall street kink, whereby somebody has
been fleeced for the special benefit of GER
tain spectators pockets. This is ma
noeuvre often practised by our bulls and
bears when honesty is too often at a dis
count. The temporary panic, however,
has subsidized; the stock has since raised,
and now stands at 1877.
One of the leading features of the Elk
hibition, and to an American the most
striking and interesting one, is the profu-
sion of statuary. An italian, accustom-
ed to the splendid galleries of his own
favored land, might not, perhaps, cOnsi-
der this collection as anything extraordi-
n airy. To us, however, whose genius
has heretofore been exerted on the prac-
teal and useful, rather than the orna-
mental, and have had little or no oppor-
ttinity of having our tastes elevated by the
masterpieces of art, this gathering of the
great productions of by-gone and contem-
poraneous genius, will be at once plea
sing and beneficial. All of these, or at
least all that possesses superior merit. we
expect in the course of our letters briefly
to describe. In the present communica-
ton, we shall conine ourselves to the
principal ones only. In the centre of
the building, directly under the dome,
occupying conspicuous position from
which it can be seen in almost every part
ofthe building, stands Baron Marochet-
ties equestrian statue of Washington,
thirteen feet in height. The Italian has
managed most admirably to preserve the
resemblance, not only in feature but also
in.expression; the horse is magnificent
model of power and symmetry. On Ell
Their side of Washington, at short distan-
ces, stand Columbus and Daniel Web
ster. The former is executed in marble,
