| suppose the Crystal Palace may be considered
aS fairly open. Thrrc will be changes in many
things yet, but the il all occupied, the steam
engine is setting tho various machines in motion,
and the long picture gallery is filled with six hum
drcd and forty paintings. This exhibition of
painting is spoken of very highly, a. probably the
finest ever seen in this country. American art how
ever shows poorly, there being but fifteen paintings
by artists.
The exhibition is announced IT, close in December
Of it, success, as wonderful exhibition, there can
now be no doubt but whether the speculation will
prove to be gainful one is quite another question
Judging from the rates at which the stockis quoted
the opinion to be unfyorabc for it hn, fallen
from 100 per cent to 80. II will need better man
agcmcnt than it has had thus far, | think, to save
it, management which shall not only be more
efficient but more accommodating, showing some will
lincncSs to make it convenient and pleasant for all
instead of throwing continual obstacles in the way,
by petty mcannesScs and official n.ucn,c. They
have at last been forced to issue tickets for limited
tine with proportional price, but it has come un-
graciousy and with restrictions which tend to over
throw the object of the change. Thus it wa,
announced last week that this week they would sell
weekly tickets for one dollar. On Monday morning,
however, there little fine print notice in the
papers, that the weekly tickets would not be sold
till Tuesday morning. Thus they cheated those
who bought them, out of one day, for they expire
on Saturday night. And then if Il stranger wishes
to avail himself Of Il weekly ticket. he must
spend two Sundays in the City, for their ticket, run
only from Monday till Saturday, not for IA week

they offer for - %. They sell them only for a
calendar month, and did not offer them till about a
week had elapsed of this month. One wishes that
they would have some consideration for those who
cannot come to the City at the beginning Of the
month or of the week ; but after all it is a great
improvement their former charges and will be
taken advantage of by many, doubt. The city
was never 50 full of strangers, to me. There
is danger that the New Workers proper will be
driven out and forced to cyacuatc.
| see by the last arrival from California that
during the six months previous to last July S2o,-
600 900 of gold dust shipped from SAN Francisco
-SG0,ooo,oo year, Sj,o0oOoo month.-That is
fabulous almost. How much longer can it last, and
what shall We Ito when the supply is exhausted
MIR. Pcusc of the Five Point. House Of Industry
announce, this morning that there has been received
since the first of August the sum of : ,o>9 90,
unsolicited donations towards that philanthroric
institution, all the result Of the publication by the
IrIbure of the little story of - Hot Corn part
of which you gave to your readers week or two
ago. This has not only relieved them from heavy
load of debt which he had way to remove,
but has also afforded the means of extending the
usefulness of the Institution. Truly it requires
