The NEW york crystal Palace.

4 As the Glass Palace is now thrown o.
|pen for public inspection at New York
and as thousands in our State will be de-
barred from seeing it, from the distance
THAT separates them, we think the follow
ling description will not be uninteresting.
1t is considered, though Of much less d.
DIMENSIONS than the London one, to far SUR
pass il in point of elegance and beauty,
and is said TO be the handsomest strue-
ture Of the kind ever erected. The fol-
lowing we copy from one of cur exchange
papers -
The dome, which is $50 feet high from
the ground floor and 100 feet in diamater,
lis most magnificent sight TO behold
There are two rows of windows III this
dome, each tier numbers 80, and one Of
1.-THE sashes eight feet in diamater. From
1.-THE centre Of this vast and truly splendid
dome there is long pole affixed to which
Ia large flag will be attached. The cross
arms Of the building are each $50 feet
long. The gallery looks as if it was sci
upon slim poles, and fairly rebounds un-
der heavy spring from a person dancing
thereon. 1t does not look strong although
lit is undoubtedly well and scientifically
Between the palace building proper
and the lower Croton reservoir, that is
to the east, there is very long building
of iron and glass also-2l feet broad
by over 400 long, intended Tor all kinds
of machinery. The steam power is across
the street north, and the pipes are laid
under the street pavement, for the pur-
pose Of introducing the steam into this
additional structure. The upper part of
this building, | understand, is intended
for the picture gallery and if SO, i'll
will take the shine off any picture gale
ry in this country at least. The Ameri-
can department is at the northeast end
of the building and an appropriate cell
ing paper or painting is put over it. In
the east nave is water tight, octagon
place made as a pond of fish, and loun-
tain. In fact The whole building is GU
riosity we'll worth seeing.
The glass used is Of two kinds
wards the southeast, east and south
west, 1t Is semi-translucent, and whereI
the suns rays do not pour in SO brightly
it is transparent.
On the north of the Crystal Palace is
the Burton or Latting tower, which isl
now nearly at its full height. It is in
tended to take visitors up about $50 feet
by means of steam, similar to the way
we were hauled up in the interior of the
Bunker Hill monument when it was first
finished. The rest of the ascent will be
made by walking. The total height Of
the tower will be, including the pole at
the top, &C., 375 feet. To the west Of
this observatory is a mammoth four ar
med box-swing, revolving like an i'm
mense wheel, where anxious longers at
ter the high and airy may be elevated at
a charge Of six or twelve cents.
