THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
The Irish, German, italian and French
Departments.
DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES,
&C., &C., &c.

The arrangement Of articles on the west nave is
more complete than in any other part of the build.
ing The French display great taste and judgment
in the exhibition of ther goods, which attract the
visiter more than the others, by their brilliancy.
Their bronzes, particularly, equal if not superior
to any others on exhibition, while their porcelain Of
which we have already given an account, surpasses
all other specimens. The Italian display though not
complete, is in most creditablc condition. and is
not inferior to any department. The Dutch also is
celent; but we certainly cannot admire the display
they make in sculpture. We should however, be
sorry to take that piece from animated nature"
representing lion and loness contendng with
serpent as proof of their genius in this department
of the fine arts The Dutch are occasionally humor-
GUS, and we should think, from the exhibition of
these nondescrpts, are fond Of practical joke. AS
specimen of their satire upon the king of beasts,
his imperial spouse and small family, it is very good,
but as wor! Of art il is not to be tolerated. No
naturalist, believe, has yet undertaken t, inform
the public what particular species those small ami
mails in front of the group belong to.
1t would, we have doubt, be beneficial to both
exhibitors and visters if the former would appoint
certain hours at which they could be found at their
stands, SO that they might explain the nature and
value Of the different articles under their charge.
Some such arrangement as this would result to the
advantage of both parties.
We have heard OF Only one article having been
stolen since the opening Of the exhibition, fact
which speaks fvoraby for the vigilance uf the police.
This, we should add, vas exposed on an open
table, and could be very easily abstracted. It
is to be regretted for the credit Of the
association, that the door keepers sometimes
~.
and that they assume an authoritative tone and
manner which is most offensive. We are certain
fhe directors do not countenance this conduct and
we know we have only to mention it to have the
annoyance stopped.
