NEW YORK, MAY 5, 1853.
The Crystal Palace is advancing by such leisurey de-
grees that the hopes Of seeing it completed longer and
longer deferred are fast degenerating into doubts whe
ther the first Of September will see it finished
very disagreeable feature is the growth in every
direction around it Of quor-shops and shantes Of the
most dsreputabe and indeed dsaceful character and
the collection in and about them at all hours Of rabbe
of rufanism misery vice, and turbulence scarcely to
be credited Several Sunday riots have taken place A.
ready; and it is seriously apprehended that with the
weak and wretchedy organized police system Of this city
no sufficient check possibly be had upon the disor
DERBY and tumultuous yagabondage which viii draw to
focus here during the process and duration Of the exhi
bton and the presence Of the temptations and facilities
which well dressed, wealthy, and unprotected crowd
always offers to violence and rapacity.
1t has been argued, already, that Of the advan-
tages which will result the city from this Exhibition
win be this that it will give rise to such manifestation
OF the insecurity both ofperson and property and to such
an evidence Of the total necacy Of all existing means
for the protection Of either will compel the adoption
Of totally different system, and the Organization Of
police sufficient in numerical force personal character
individual strength, equipment, and drill to protect the
citizens and strangers from nsoence and outrage and to
redeem New York from the well merted reproach Of
being the cleaned, worst lighted watched,
| and worst governed city in the civilized world
In connection with the Crystal Palace, which by the
way IT, in my opinion not tasteful building with lots Of
little pepper-box turrets utterly Of place and keep
ing must not omit to FRAScoSI's Hippodrome,
which is the mania Of the daynine thousand people
night, and crowds dismissed unable to procure seats!
Such success has not been heard Of have not yet
ventured lfe limb, and pocket in such press but,
when the novelty has in degree worn out shall
try to send you word Of the dongs there which are
said to be really admirable with much plendor Of dress
| fine horse Aesh and fine equation.
The Academy Of Painting is open, and shall visit il
tomorrow not inundated from the clouds which
are already mastering grim and gloomy. We have had
hot dry weather Of late and good rain will not be I'M
acceptable.

few stunted fruit trees which rise above some lone hoyel
on the skirts Of the town. and although here and there
the ever graceful cocoa may be peeng up from some
private garden or walled enclosure it brings the mind
impression Neither is the country around Mazatlan
more inviting in appearance. No groves with their cool
refreshing shades stately mansions no comfortable
farm houses with we'll filled barns and fruitful orchards
no widespread fields of growing ripening wheat
no lowing herds rowing focks quiet hamlet or
