The New York Crystal Palace will form an

ands of New England visiters the ensuing sea-
son. Recent accounts represent the work on
the building a. going on svimmingly. u y
expected the exhibition viii be opened in May.

in erection of the building and getting it ready
for the exhibition of articles strictly full
filled.
The Legislature of New York has amended
the charter of the Association, granting more
privileges. Leave is granted to- increase the
capital from $500. 900 to 100000. Also, to
expend more money on the building than was
at 6rst contemplated, which was 100000; to
ncrease-the number of directors and the police
force for the purposes of the association.
Contributions have already arrived from Eu-
rope. from the very best houses, for instance,
two houses in Belfast, Ireland, that carried of
gold medals on linen and muslin manufactures
at the Worlds Fair. A New York writer says
the exhibition will give great impetus to ev-

San Juan del Sur.

This is the Pacific port for the steamers oil
the Nicaragua line to California. The town is
located on a small op3p bay, which is not a
safe place for the Steamers on accoun: Of strong
winds that prevail. Tie steamers have their
coal depot at Salinas Bay, fifteen miles to the
southwark, and only Sop at San Juan del Sur
long enough to leave md take up passengers.
A correspondent of the Boston Post describes
the town as follows -
The town has six Or seven shabby hotels,
and perhaps fifty sm9ll houses or hurs. A
population of about fifty Americans and 200
natives is supported Utmost entirely by the
expenditures OF the STEAMERS and passengers.
This is very unheAllhy spot for part Of
the year, and wreieated hole always. In
the dry season one y chOked and blinded
with sand-in the wef season he is drenched
with rain. 1t is onlyalwelve miles 10 Lake

selected as The Temporary terminus OF The
steamer route. The4present road is very
bad in the rainy reasdk6 but the company Is
making a good one Standardization.
The silver cUrrencytN this State is nearly
all in francs, hall-frane& and dimes. Four

European and N. A. Railroad.

The Atlantic and ST. Lawrence railroad COM
pany have asked the Legislature for an act al
lowing lease of their road. 1t is said PROPOSE
lions have been made for lease of that road
for large number of years by the English
company concerned in tie European and North
American railroad, and an offer made of six per
cent. per annum. Suche an arrangement will
make the Atlantic shareS par stock at once
The effect of the plan has been already seen in
the advance Of the stock and bonds of the COM
pany. The Portland Advertiser says they are
selling at steadily advancing prices.
The English company want a'trunk railroad
through Maine. After Bringing their road TO
Calais, they ready to sbuild on to Bangor
and to Waterville, take cease Of the Andres
coggin and Kennebec aud Atlantic and st.
Lawrence railroads and sthus have grand
trunk railroad from the eastern terminus
through Maine to the St. Lawrence river. 1t
would probably require years for this railroad
connection to be formed-by capital raised in
this country. But the mslss Gao be raised in
England without delay. .sIt is certainly for
the interest of Maine THAI no hindrance be
placed in the way of this enterprise. and we
sorry to the small opposition even,
manifested in some parts f the State. With
such railroad through Maine and the Prov
inces. and proper reciprocal trade established
who can calculate the stars in enterprise and
business Of universal down east !"
The Kennebec and PoriEn railroad on the
completion of the Somerset road, which is now
considered fixed fact, would be prepared to
secure fair share of the advantages of con-
nection with such an extended line Of road
and We believe the President and directors are
favorable to the plan.
The Halifax Colonist has information that
Messrs. Jackson s. Co. contractors for the
European and North American Railway in
New Brunswick, have ndkified the government
ofthat Province that thesstock for the build
ing of the road is all provided in England, and
that the provincial guaHntee, or loan of cred
it, will not be required for any portion of the
line. The same thing IS true of the "Grand
Trunk Line of Canada" the government
granted 925O,OOO sterling towards bridge
across the St. Lawrencdsat Montreal
The Portland Advertiser saws the informa-
ton has excited the most profound interest in
all the British Provinces as well as among our
own people and the bends and stock of the
Atlantic road are steadily advancing, it is I'M
derstood under the influence Of the proposed
lease ~

EASTERN TIMES.
Bath, Thursday, Mar. "a, 1858.


The administration of president PIERCE VIII
find work enough to do. arising from the pad
management of the waAgs for the last four
wears. In eyery brancbtof the public service
evidences are not wantE9g of the neglect and
ineficiency. confusion aAd disorder, OF the adj
Ininistration that has Just departed from power
by the resistless will ofahe people.
But the new administration will be found ad-
euuate to the task of refprm The corruptions
and extravagant expenditures Of the past must
be stayed and the Augean stables cleansed.-
The man to accomplishing work will be found
in Franklin Pierce. The wing presses would
have it appear that ours national affairs are in
an extremely favorable condition-that the
new President finds everything in complete
order,and that the country. and the democratic
party in particular, is really under great obi
CATION to the whg partyfor its industry, eccnO-
my and shrewd management of public affairs.
Let the record speak. i
Among all fair and discerning men, the bad
condition of our nationa affairs at the out-So-
ing OF the Fillmore ADMINISTRATION is admitted.
The army has been Increased enormously,
while the ineficiency ofthe navy is everywhere
apparent. The Post Office Department has
been badly managed, so that it is to certain
extent considered unsafe for the transmission
of letters and papers, while its official head so
far forgets the dignity aud responsibility of his
position as to be found engaged in fsticuffs
with member of Congress in the Capitol
One-half Of the money Voted for the Capitol
extension has been miserably squandered.-'
Errors have abounded in estimates Of receipts
and expenditures, deficiency bills have been
regularly presented, and. Galphin corruptions
attest the nefficiency of the most important de-
partment of the government, the Treasury
Bad management has become apparent every
where, in the census bhreau, boundary COM
mission, management of the Indians and in
connection with the Department of the In
terror. .t .nt lIa.1
To all this may be aflded the unfortunate
condition Of our foreign relations The fishery
question unsettled, the 6unging Clayton Bull
wer treaty, acknowledging British rights and
territory in Central America Spanish insults
to our flag and depredaaons on our commerce
deeply humiliating TO shy nothing of the Lo-
hos mistake and the wild goose chase of very
large portion Of the navYto Japan.
Facts have much more signifcancy than
words and when the wings talk about Presi-
dent Pierce finding the work all done, they know
better! We have no doubt these enormous
wrongs will be corrected. and that right speed
iy by the democratic administration In the
present Executive powet we have the men for
the work-the force, tie will, the statesman
ship and the sure policy for its speedy accom-
plishment

Maine and Mass. Lands.

The Committee on Public Lands of the
Massachusetts Legislature has made report
to that body in relation 10 these lands. They
go into brief history of the lands and the ac-
tion of the two States in relation to them, bring
some charges against Maine, acknowledge
some fault on The part of Massachusetts, and
propose an act for the sale of the lands owned
by Massachusetts in Maine. The substance of
this act is as follows That the land agent,
with the concurrence Of the commissioners. be
authorized TO sell all the interest of Massachu-
sets in the timber and lands remaining unsold
in the State of Maine taking security for the
purchase money, in case any part is sold on
credit, entirely satisfactory to the authorities ;
which security 10 10 be independent Of the land
and the timber sold! That previous to the
offer Of sale to individuals, the State of Maine
shall be allowed a reasonable time to become
me purchaser on equitable terms. ,.a, .F

es and tippling. shops, have Reported bill adj

The FIVE succeeding sections, it is recon-
mended, be repealed. TIL principal features
of these sections, wilhsaddiliops and modi6ca-
ltiens calculated to removed all reasonable OBJ
jectons to their enforcement, are retained.
Provision is made to guatd against any abuse
or i'll practices of agents APPOINTED TO sell under
the act, and to authorize the search of dwell
ing-house where evidence il given in writing,
on oath, that there is good treason TO believe
that spirtuons liquors are kept or deposited
therein for unlawful sale therein or elsewhere.
A witness convicted of giving false testimony,
knowingly and wilfuly, is % be imprisoned in
the State prison one year and this penalty,
the committee think, will Aeep people from
gratifying unreasonable CURIOSITY in looking
into their neighber's houses 90 :.
An owner of liquors taken under the law,
may be made party to the proc&dtag pin all
cases, and appear and defend his ghf 70 tas'

from Washington with regard to this remarka-

by mere legal bubble. which does not look
like conscious innocence on the part of the
