Garden. The building has for some time
been undergoing repairs under the great
composers eye. and never looked better
than it did last evening. The stage was
decorated with two floral arches, the flag
of the United States, and other appro-
pirate ornaments. A large audience
was present-how could it be otherwise,
when Julien is known to every one who
has played. sung or waltzed, fiirted, polk
aed or schottischsd, for the past tw enty
years. About sixty performers appeared
on the stage, who went through an in
teresting programme to the entire salts
faction of those present. Julien has en-
gagged the garden for a month, and will
give a concert every evening. If last
nights success may be regarded as an in
dication, he will find his trip to America a
successful speculation.
The contributions for New Orleans suf-
ferers have reached the sum of $36, 600
The Directors ofthe Crystal Palace have
literally appropriated next Wednesdays
receipts to this charity.
1t would seem as if the objects of inter-
est in the great exhibition were inexhaus-
tible. Again and again one may walk
through the various departments and
suppose he has seen all there is to see
yet performing the circuit again, he will
discover nearly as many new objects of
interest as at his first visit. Taking my
accustomed walk yesterday IN the Palace.
1 met with a number of curiosities which
had escaped my notice. A small case in
the gallery contained some nondes cript
and nondescrib able fish without ewes
from the Nam moth Cave in Kentucky,
with variety of miniature Holsters from
the same place. Madame Civatte has
taken an ingenious method of calling at
tention to her artificial flower establish
ment in this city. She has made of the
finest materials used in the manufacture,
large rose, eight inches in diameter in
the middle of this, she has introduced, in
such manner as not to interfere with
the appearance of the flower, the face OF
clock, with limitations of beetles for
the hands. The machinery of the clock
is concealed in the back of the rose, and
the whole is surrounded with beautiful
wreath of flowers. This lady's cards are
printed on muslin, 10 the exact form of a
leaf, with little stem protruding beneath
by which to hold them. There were &
few scattered about her sho w-cases, which
were in great demand among the fair sex
every lady visitor, particularly those
from the country, desiring to carry home
so tasty souvenir of her visit to the Pa
lace.
There are some interesting specimens
of minute engraving. among which we
noticed particularly gold dollar and q
three cent piece, each of which contains
the Lords Prayer upon it. The charsc-
tiers are SO small that they cannot be de-
ciphered without a glass.
Further on, we came to a variety OF
articles manufactured out of human hair.
1t is surprising to see into what different
forms it can be woven. Besides rings,
bracelets, necklaces and other articles Of
jewelry, We have tea-pots. vases. milk
cups, &c. We suppose the latter are
for ornament rather than use What an
idea-to bring the productions of an I'M
known head into proximity with the tea
board.
The demand for -four continued active
yesterday state brands closed firm al
$685., to 1851. Among the transac-
tons were sales of 1000 barrels of famous
and extra, including 1900 of the former
for shipment to France. Wheat also
sold freely; 10000 bushels of Can adam
went off at full price. Good white corn
sold to fair extent. Sales of cotton
were small, not amounting to more than
500 bales there was no change in for
mer prices. Fall weather has fairly sci
in: The mercury averages 70 degrees al
noon. Yours truly,
WAKEFUL.
