This enterprise seems now destined 70 become
a fixed fact We learn from our exchanges
that arrangements have been fully made 10
have the building completed, and everything
in readiness 10 open somewhere about the lst
Of May next Large contributions in all the
yanOus departments are expected from the Old
World, while, we suppose, yankee notions
will be displayed, Of every imaginable variety
and use. As yet there seems 10 be little do
ing and little interest felt in the South and
whether much effort will here be put forth at
all, seems extremely problematical, and per
haps for very good reasons. Though the mer-
chant princes and those directly interested,
may do all in thei power TO court the favor
Of the South, yet one Lemon case goes
far to eouteract belief in any fine spun preten-
sions or protested feelings Of interest in our
own prosperity and institutions. Again, it
may be that TO some extent, we might not be
able to make really the display which our
brethren of the North can do, and for some
such reason as that urged, why America did
not show to better advantage in Hyde Park.
We cannot transport to the Crystal Palace our
broad acres Of snowy cotton, or rustling cane,
our rich Savannas or l~uxuirant woodlands I;
these are peculiarities Of our soil and climate
true sources Of our wealth which cannot well
be boxed up, sent off and exhibited in glass ca
SEES ; and were we to attempt to show them
some well-fed, welLclothed and contented sons
and daughters of Ham. we have every assn
rance they would take such a liking to them
that we, ourselves, should never see them more.
For the information Of those whom it may con
Germ, we transfer to our columns the circular of
directions, DC, TO several of the Southern
States, issued by the committee in New Or
leans (:
TO The Citizens Of Louisiana, Ala5ama, Ms
sissippi, Teras, arkansas and Tennessee.
/. The Board Of Directors of the New York
Crystal Palace having appointed a committee

Orleans, consisting Of Jas. Robb, Lucius Dun
can, L. LaSere, W. f.. Gasquet, w. N. Mercer,

upon the part Of said committee, would pre-
sent the following address
2. The Fair will be opened on the I'd day
of May, 1853, forthee exhibition ofthe industry
Of all nations, in the splendid structure on Res
eryoir square, New York, embracinglan area of
$4,000 square feet, or four acres. The build
ing has been made a bonded warehouse BY Gov
eminent, and already assurances are given of
on extensive representation offoreign industry.
8. The object of the exhibition cannot be sub
s%ervient without an equal representation of all
the great industrial interests ofour W confed-
Grafton, whether in raw material, manufactured
products or in the fine arts. The Fair will be
opened to the cereal products of the Northern
and Western States, the cotton, sugar and rice
OF the South; the hemp, tobacco and other mis-
cellaneous products Of the West the mineral
resources of all these regions. Its extremely
desirable that these great interest should be rep
resented as well as the manufacturing, in order
that the New and Old World should be con-
trasted together, and the two regions mutually
instruct and be instructed.

exhibition must represent their nature and pur-
