1t win now we are informed, be four weeks before
all the goods are received and completely arranged
for exhibition. This will make six weeks altogether
from the day on which it was thrown open to the
public, and four months from the first of May the
day on which it should have been opened. A great
deal of unavoidable delay, it is true has taken place
in the contribution of foreign goods; but there Is
excuse for the present blank appearance of portions
of the American department Italy presents more
finished look than the United States. Why is this
Is there want of contributors, they less
getic and interested IN the productions of their skill
in the arts than the nations OF Europe? If they have
not already displayed all their articles, we hope
they will make no further delay in exhibiting them
Weare requested to correct an error which was pub
lished in one of the morning papers of yesterday in
relation to the admission of ladies unacc0mpanied by
gentlemen Thelades,w are happy to be able to state,
are admitted into the building whether attended bya
gentleman or alone. Any rule that would exclude
them from the exhibition, particularly when the
hours Of admission between sunrise and sunset,
would meet with prompt public censure. The mana
gers never thought of adopting such regulation,
for a large proportion of their female vsiters
not accompanied by gentlemen. An error of this
kind therefore, could only have its origin in the
stupidity Of the person who originated it. Ladies
may be seen at almost any hour of the day walking
through the Palace unattended and we know of no
public place Of amusement where they could be
more fee from insult, or where an insult would be
more promptly punished. The police are always at
hand, and ready at moments notice, should their
services be required. Their presence has most
sautary effect in preventing any annoyances to vii
tiers, and to ladies particularly In this respect they
may be considered guard Of honor to the fair visi
tiers, as well as terror to all thieves and evil
doors.
A committee of five from the Neptune Hose Com
pany, of Philadelphia, is expected some time this
morning, with their new and magnificent hose cart,
which is to be placed on exhibition at the Crystal
Palace. They will be received at Pier No. North
river, by Columbian Hose Company, of New York,
which will be accompanied by band. From thence
they will be escorted by our fremen to the building.

The overseers of Harvard College have rejected
Mr.. Bowen as Professor of History in that insttu-
ton. This movement was most proper and ju
dicous one and We are glad to see that it was ably
defended, few days since, in the Constitutional
Convention, by Mr.: Henry Wilson, when it was
called in question. Mr. Bowen is well known a. the
editor of the North american Rerie,c, and has
made himself iamous-or infamous-by his labors in
that publication. to afford aid and comfort to des-
potism in Eurose.
The great misfortune of Mr.. Bowen is that he
is behind the times-a conservative Of the
school Of Nicholas and the house of Hapsburg-
wrapped up in the books and dogmas of the
dark ages and hooting like an owl in the hol-
low of tree, when the sun is high up in the
heavens, and all the world is awake. 1t is to
be hoped that his expulsion by Old Harvard
will wake up Mr. Bowen.

SETTLING UP WING ACCouNTs-According to
recent Developments if the late whig party
had continued in possession of the federal 90
vernment another term, the Secretary of the
Treasury would have been driven, in another
year or so, to the necessity Of asking loan of
Congress to balance outstanding DEFICIENCIES.
In addition to the alleged unpaid balances due
the government from two of the late collectors
Of San Francisco, amounting to half million
more or less, submerged in quartz mining and
other speculations, we have some new disclo-
sures Of defalcation or two almost every week.
The other day small deficit of ten thousand
dollars was brought to light in the State De-
partment; and now we are informed by the St
Paul. Minnesota Democrat, that Gov. German
has been engaged for several days in inyesti-
eating the charges against the late whie Go
werner Ramsey, on account of the frauds
charged to have been perpetrated upon the
Sioux Indians. The policy of change in the
administration every four years, thus far appears
to work well for the national finances. Let
Mr. Guthrie remember that. With q full trea-
sury, the hungry democrats may turn out to be
as greedy as the wings. Nothing like a sharp
eye on the public money.

COMMODORE VANDERBILT AND THE NORTH

COMMODORE VANDERBILT AND THE NORTH
SrAR-RARE CHANCE FOR CELESTIAL BENZ
FIT.-The latest advces from Commodore Van
derbilts steam yacht, the North Star, leave
her at the port Of Havre. The enterprlsing
Commodore, however, not satisfied with the
trip to st. Petersburg. was contemplating
ooyage tour du monde, by way OF the Chi
nese Empire, thence homeward, we suppose,
around Cape Horn.
Now here is a golden opportunity for the
Celestials of the Tong HookTong Dramatic AS
ISOLATION if they are not too late. They want
to 90 home. They have no means. The pro
ceeds of their late benefit they had previously
eaten up at the Shakespeare Hotel. Per-
haps Commodore Vanderbilt may have room
for them on board the North Star Who
knows Let MIN be sounded. IL yea,
then benefit or two in London and Paris
would furnish these poor Celestials with the
necessary funds for contingencies, such as
fish, and rice, for the voyage. Their dra-
matte representations at the various stopping
places outward bound. would give peculiar
novelty to the excursion and they would
be useful on board in teaching the Com
modore and his crew something OF the
language, manners, and customs of the
people of China. They might also be useful as
interpreters at Canton, Shanghai and along
the great imperial river, the Yang tse-keang,
up which the Commodore of course will ascend
q few thousand miles. He will thus obtain an in
sight into the very heart of the Central Flowery
Kingdom, and on such an expedition the Tong
Hook-Tong Dramatic Association would be
very serviceabe indeed.
We so further: We are disposed to look at
this thing in diplomatic point of view. Sup.
pose an application should be made to Commo-
dore Vanderbilt in behalf of the Tong Hook
Tong Society--suppose he should say Yes
send them along" and that they should go by
the North Star to their imperial master, the
Brother Of the Sun and Uncle of the Moon what
then? Why, nothing more nor less than this

Mantchoos or the Ming dynasty, will feel CRATE.
full to the gallant Commodore, and the mighty
nation of outside barbarians'' Of which he
will be the representative; and he may thus
effect more than Marshall and Walker combined
in confirming the friendly relations now so hap
PLY existing between China and the United
States and in securing lis the most advanta-
geous commercial facilities with the Central
Flowery Kingdom. If not too late, nothing
would be lost, at all events, in making up an
application to Commodore Vanderbilt for a
passage out to Kwangtung. of the unhappy
Celestials of the Tong Hook Tong Society.

TIE BOGUS ADDREss'-MoRE LIGHT.-The
organ of the hard shells of this city-no doubt
''by carbohydrates detailed account of
the way in which the bogus address" of the
democratic members of the Legislature was "got
up 1t adds, with other corroborative evidence.
the following direct specification in proof of the
sweeping condemnation of the Albany .frgus: =
Among those who refused to sign, and whose
names appear at the foot Of the address published
N the digs, are Hessrs. Wilson, McClaTy, Van
Nranken, Jackson, A. II. Gardner, Odeli, W. A.
Smith and Blauyet, some of whom even erased their
names, having been induced to sign before learning
the character Of the address, and its surreptitious
production.
Messrs. Bushnell Amsbry and Forsyth were alb.
sent the latter gentleman being now on a tour in
Europe.
The names of Messrs. Livingston and R. p. Smith,
VINO sIgned the protest. are also found sgners OF
this document.
Among those who protested against signing the
address for reasons before stated were Messrs Aden
St. John Glover, d. b. Taylor, Russell Smith, En-
mons, Il. 7. Smith, Livingston, H1tchins, Soaring
and Lounsberry.
Messrs. Wedelind, Shaw and Howard, of New
ork, were also absent and did not sign the address
we recognise in the list Of those who did not sign
the address large majority who voted in favor of
the Taylor resolutions and have, during the session
OF the Legislature, pursued a consistent and firm
course both upon matters of State policy and national
questions.
Thus is this democratic" legislative farewell
address nailed to the counter as counterfeit
1t is worse than the free soil stampede upon
Taylor's fugitive resolution, for that was simply
a dodge, or the taking the Kentucky shoot -
which means, according to Touchstone to retire
in disgust, to back out, to slope, to make tracks
to come up missing, to disappear, to vanish, TO
cut and run. But this address is worse than
cutting and running. in being bogus " affair,
which implicit that it is not the pure silver,
but contrabsnd admixture Of baser metals,
and is, therefore base imposition. 1t is worse
than Champln's resolutions for, though they
were slippery and evasive on the main point,
they viii do as far as they go. and were adopted
by an open showing Of hands in broad daylight !;
whereas, this bogus address appears to have
been concocted in corner, and signed, to a
criminal extent, by proxy, and without au-
thority. The only alternative remaining is.
either to call another meeting of the democratic
members at Albany and get up another address
or to postpone the reconciliation of the two fac
tons to the general meeting at Syracuse, on the
18th Of September The party savors strongly
