tity Of articles received from foreign countries
are still unprepared for exhibition. The Crys-
tai Palace must therefore grow daily in inter
est as additions are made from day to day, for
eign and domestic When the spacious halls
and galleries are completely occupied with the
displays of manufacture and art intended for
them. we have no doubt the public will be en-
tirely satisfied with the exhibition, and the sue
cess of this great enterprise will be no longer a
doubtful question.
This first exposition in America of the in
dustry of all nations must prove the COM
mencement Of new era in the history Of
science and the arts. The vast collection Of
works of genius and skill of SO many of the
civilized races Of mankind must have pow
erful effect in stimulating the genius and active
int lect of our own countrymen. They will
not as heretofore, call upon Hercules for help,

Of progress, will devise ways and means to take

We spread before our multitudinous readers this
morning in all their length and breadth the copoas
details of the splendid pageant yesterday, within
doors and without. the land and on the water, in
the sunshine and in the rain in connection with the
formal inaugural on of New York Exposition of
The Industry of all Nations Two such lions as the
President of the United States officially visiting the
city and our Crystal Palace together could not fail
Of making memorable day for this metropolis Let
the ample record in columns answer to the world
outside this popuous island to the fulflment OF
the most sanguile expectations of the day.
The visit of the President and his ride through the
sity with the mighty procession, civic and military,
which turned out to do him honor, constituted the
great feature of the day 1t was the spectacle for
the million, while the ceremonals within the Palace
were necessarily limited to the eight ten thousand
that could be accommodated SO as to witness
the proceedings under the magnificent dome of
the building. Another outside feature of this
universal celebration worthy Of attention was the
prodigious run of custom of the various liquor
and refreshment saloons menageries, and raree
shows Of all kinds, which flank the Crystal temple
upon every side. 1t great day for them all
for the mighty multitude filed up all the arrange
ments, within and without, for their reception The
l4th Of July henceforth will mark new epoch in
all the departments of industry in the United States.
Crystal Palace stock is up-the experiment is a
great triumph in the outset and will be greater in
the end.
We understand that it is the intention OF General
Pierce to remain in the city to-day Upon his return

Opening Of the Exhibition or the Irdustr,
Of aia Nations.

The first impression produced on the minds
OF those among the audience present at the
opening of the Exhibition. who there for the
first time saw the interior of the Crystal
Palace, was that of unqualified admiration Of
the building itself. Certainly nothing to be
named in comparison with this beautiful struc-
ture has ever before been seen in America.
The ~paciousness Of the different parts of the
building, notwithstanding oil that has been
said to the contrary, was apparent to all, and
the peculiar adaptation of the halls and gal
leries for the exhibition of works Of art and in
dustry was at once admitted by candid observ-
ers So far as the ediice is concerned, we hear
nothing but universal satisfaction expressed
and the architects may congratulate them
selves to this extent upon the entire success of
their part of the undertaking.
The next point of notice to the beholder was
the unique character of the exhibition. We
have been familiar with fairs and displays Of
manufactures and the arts for the last twenty
five years but they have been on a limited
scale. and carefully restricted to the products
OF American industry and skill alone The
idea Of inviting the manufacturers and artists
of other nations to compete with our owa eiti-
zens, in exhibiting the products Of their labor
ard genius. seems not to have been entertained
until the example was set us in London, OF the
Worlds Fair Of 1851 and the present exhibi-
ton, at the Crystal Palace, is the first response
here to that very liberal and worthy example
The idea with many persons was that this ex
hibition in New York would prove to be a dis
play of the works Of foreign countries, almost ex
clusively and that Americans would not attempt
to compete with manufacturers and artizans OF
the old world, In the ornamental branches Of
Industrial pursuits which are the most attract
i've portions of an exhibition of this kind. A
glance through the halls Of the Crystal Palace
satisfies us that the Americans will have no
reason to be ashamed Of the proportion and
quality OF the home part of the exhibition. It
must be admitted that there are some articles
and collections which ought to have been ex
cluded. and that too conspicuous piace had
been given to those Of our home exhibitors who
depend on puff and humbug; but as a whole
we were agreeably surprised with the extent
and variety of articles brought forward by the
skill and industry of American citizens.
1t has been already stated that large qoan-

the monarchical and despotic governments
OF Europe. Reiying-too shrewdly-on the
great respect here paid to British opinion,
the English nobility calculated that by
giving the sanction Of their approval to
the party they might raise it into Importance
Left to itself, it would have died out after u
very brief career; sustained and encouraged by
the approving fattery of British mobiles it might
possibly prosper, and eventually assume posi-
ton Of commanding influence.
This project has never been lost sight Of by
the British nobility. Whenever opportunity
offcrs-when an aboltionist writer or leader
visits England, when black songstress lands
in the British isles when colored Methodist
holds negro reviyal-the faith Of the British
aristocracy is pledged afresh to the cause
With tenacity worthy of nober aim they
cling to the fond hope that day will come
when abolition will be in the ascendant, and
ruin and disunion will impend over the United
States 1t grieves them sorely to find them
selves deprived of the support and approva. OF
the middle classes of their own country in the
struggle But even against the common sense
of the bulk of their own fellow-citizens they
persevere, and leave no arts untried to conquer
proselytes.
Continental Europe is unfortunately debarred
from using the same weapons. Every blow
dealt at American slavery inficts wound on
their own bosoms. Southern emancipation
could hardly be advocated by those who deny
freedom to their own subjects. Hence we find
the attacks of the continental governments. and
their organs in the United States. more in
sidious and less explicit than those of the Brit
ish nobility. We are charged with offences
against God and man in general way; the in
dictment is loosely drawn up, and from its very
vagueness. is more signifcative to the vulgar
reader. Confident expectations Of the breakup
of the American States are freely expressed
and already European democrats are cautioned
against similar attempts to ours.
What permanent results may attend these
designs we can hardly venture to predict At
present they seem as harmless as they are ma
lcious. But so long as the abolitionists exist
as a party it is we'll that we should bear in
mind from what source they derive their
strength, and at whose bidding they plot trea-
son and sedition.

AMERICAN LADIES AND FOREIGN DIPLOMATS
MANIFEST DEsTMY."-When that good old
soldier General Taylor, announced to the de-
lighted people of this happy country that we
were at peace with the world and the rest of
mankind" he was, perhaps, little aware of the
true secret Of this pleasant condition of our re-
lations with foreign countries. Older states
men, and more experienced. than Old Rough
and Ready. have concluded that it was due to
that sagacious policy recommended by Wash
ington, of avoiding oil entangling alliances
with other nations, and all unnecessary inter-
Modelling in the affairs of other people We
apprehend. however, that the real secret of the
friendly sentiments reciprocally entertained
and so frequently illustrated during the last
twenty years, between us and the other great
powers of the earth, may be traced not so much
to our foreign policy as to The numerous happy
matrimonial alliances contracted from time to
time betw cen foreign diplomats near our go
vcrnment ard the fair daughters Of Brother
jonathan.
We are reminded Of this fact in seeing it an
nounced by the Washington ncwsmongers that
the acceptance by Don Calderon dc la Barca
of the portfolio OF Secretary of Foreign
Affairs at Madrid, is somewhat doubtful
If there is any ground for q reasonable doubt
upon the subject, we presume 1t rests upon his
social and domestic attachments which have
resulted from the long residence of Mr.. Cal
deron in Washington. His wife is an Ameri-
can lady, Of Scotch family named Mcleod
