with details, including the prayer of Bishop
wainwright, the speech of Mr.. Sedgwick, presi-
dent of the Crystal Palace Association, and the
reply of President Pierce. Although very
beautiful and appropriate in the main, We think
the remarks of Mr. S. dealt too much in 1auda-
ton of Franklin Pierce, and not sufficiently
upon the great point of national industry, and
the artistic skill which has reared the immense
structure now receiving the admiration of the
world. President Pierce, also, in his reply,
confined himself almost exclusively to personal
thanks, but he is excusablc on the ground OF
being lionized through the streets almost to
death, for five or six hours previous to his
reaching the palace. We are sorry we have
not room for these speeches. The parade in

argue, IRE are now pursuing an inconsistent
course in denouncing irresponsible bank paper.
Smart young men, these two!
- Before the advent of Whine Il Cooley into
st. Paul, it was rare thing to see gentleman
dressed, unless he procured his habliments
somewhere out of st. Paul. The case is now
entirely different. These artists have the
thanks of the community for the good taste
with which they have clothed the male portion
of ST. Paul. They are now closing out their
present cheap stock, previous to starting East
for new supply.
