How to make Men Brave.

Santa Anna has hit up on a expedient, il
seems, to make brave men. 1t is nothing less
than striking off from the army list the names OF
officers who surrendered to General Scott, al
the time when that great commander entered
Mexico, after Santa Anna himself had ruu
away. As these men fought bravely, and only
yielded when a further struggle would have
been madness, the plan seems rather question
able one, at least to our straight forward ideas
of what nourishes courage, and what not. If
the leader who deserts his post, and thus sets
the example of abandoning the defence of his
country, is brsyer man than those who, re-
naming, are overpowered and compelled to yield,
we know nothing, we confess, of what consti-
tutes courage, fidelity, patriotism.
Santa Anna, while thus prescribing all who
surrendered to Scott, is endeavoring to canonize,
as it were, all who fell in battle with our forces
He has ordered their bones to be disinterred,
and buried in suitable sepulchres while he
has directed that the names of General Vasquez
and Leon shall be ins or ibed on the banners of
the army. But such fictitious encouragement
will prove, we suspect, Intellectual as the ter
ror of expatriating those who surrendered. 1t
is not, by such stage tricks, that nations, sink
ing into decrepitude, can be restored to youth
full vigor. Men cannot be made brave by the
arts of the harlequin.

Ireland.
Opening of The Great Exhibition.


| The Crystal Palace Exhibition at Dublin was
opened the 18th, by the Lord Lieutenant with
much cermony. In his speech, he referred to
the improved condition of Ireland the advance
in agriculture and all branches of industry, and
to the progress in manufactures much of which
he attributed to the School of Design esta ed
in Dublin.
The day of the opening was very fine, and
more than 15, 900 persons in the build
ing.
Many of the objects TO be exhibited have not
yet been finally arranged, some still arriving
and many more expected. The spectator
may fancy himself, entering, in a vast cathe-
dral composed of a labrinth of light pillars and
lofty circular arches, the gra nd naive being
one hundred feet width, and four hundred and
twenty-five feet in height.
The trelaced galleries, raised between the
double colonades which seperate the naives, have
an exceedingly beautiful effect. light blue
tint which pervades the, whole, with glass roofs,
and gorgeous escutcheohs hanging on either
side, have on the whole an appearance of fexceed-
ing grandeur and beauty.
Conspicuous among the pictures arc the admir-
able likenesses other Majesty and Prince Albert,
by Winterhalter, which have been graciously
lent by her Majesty to the Exhibition Commit
tee.
There is another collection, also, which is en-
tirely unique, namely, selection of Japanese
productions, which have been lent from the Mu-
scum at the Hague by the Dutch Government, t,
and are being arranged with great skill by Nj. A.
A. Van de Kasteele, director of the Royal Mu-
scum of curiosities.

owner of the house asking him, in the course Of
the conversation, if he had heard Of JOAQUIN.

! Without any further ceremony, and perfectly
unexcited, the robber went on TO relate the rca-
son of his conduct in his late career: he had
been oppressed, robbed, and persecutcd BIZ the
Americans in the placers; had lost S50, ,OO0 been

as hateful as the rule Of Gachupins to the Mexi-

Beauties of the New York CRYSTAL pa,aos

All the respectable New York papers have
spoken loudly of the miserable management of
the Crystal Palace business of the DELAYS in its
construction, of the private gambling character
OF the speculation, and of the scenes of vice tho
are enacted about it daily. Even the New yor,,
Express, which has heretofore been its defender
comes out upon 1t as follows in its issue of We'd
nesday:

stamped envelopes as early as the 1st proximo,
though the contractors are understood to have a
portion of them now ready for delivery. The
Postmaster General, being indisposed to scatter
them abroad until he can have sufficient on hand
to send them in every direction, has deemed it
best to wait until the 1st ofJuly, when an ample
