The CENTRAL PARK-IIow IT SHOULD BE
LAID OrT.-It being now decided that the Lee
gislature will not curtail the dimensions pro-
posed to be assigned to the Central Park, the
next Question to be considered is how the large
space embraced within its boundaries can be
most advantageously laid out We trust that
III the consideration Of this important point
attention will be paid to the nature OF the
ground and to the many useful suggestions
that may be borrowed from the parks and
promenades OF the great European cities. In
stead oflevelling and reducing to monotonous
plane surface the vast extent of ground that
will be comprised within the limits of the
park, advantage should be taken of its rugged
and diversified character to impart as much
variety and natural beauty to its aspect "a
possible. To do this, straight lines should be
everywhere avoided in the distribution of the
carriage drives and plantations, and artificial
arrangements rendered subsidiary to preserv-
ing and frightening the effect of those rural
features that give to the natural landscape
its greatest charm Any one who has had an
opportunity of contrasting the old system of
landscape gardening, as carried out by lie
Notre in the gardens and park of Versailles.
with the distribution Of the miniature park of
the Tranon, and, again, with the Bots de
Boulogne, the fashionable resort of the Pa
risian beau monde, will unquestionably give
the preference to the two latter. The
straight alleys and intermnable yistas of
foliage, intersecting each other at right an
giles, which were the prevailing taste in the
time of Louis the XIV, soon lose all their
effect from repetition, and produce sense of
monotony and WEAKNESS. In the mo lcrn or So
called English system of landscape gardening
which is now generally adopted on the CONT
nent in the distribution and arrangement ofpub-
lie grounds and private parks, these defects
are avoided, and the efforts of art are confined
merely to the culture and developement OF
those points of natural interest which almost
every locality presents. This principle is car

BARNUM's PREPARATIONS AT THE CRYSTAL
PALAcE.-Barnum, it appears, is making i'm
mense preparations for the opening of the
Crystal Palace, which is to be equal to the
grand reception of Jenny Lind at Castle
Garden. The Palace is to be opened with
grand concert, in which all the principal artists
are to sing. The tickets are to be sold at AUG
ton, and, Of course, there will be great compe-
tition for them from various quarters, and
among all persons Barnum's administration Of
the Cry stall Palace affairs will be curious and
philosophic experiment.

CORPORATION PRNTNG.-Our present con-
tract to print the advertisements for the Corpora
tion closes on the first day Of May. In conse-
quence the committee on the subject have re-
quested us to put in proposition stating the
terms of a contract for the ensuing year.
During the last year we have printed the city
advertisements for the sum of three thousand
dollars We shall do so no more ehave sent
in proposition in which we offer to print the ad-
vertisements for the sum of eight cents per line
or twenty-four dollars per column. If the Corpo-
ration does not accede to that proposition we
will listen to no other Nor do we see the phi
losophy or the propriety of doing work for the
city government at a less price than is paid by
the tidy chambermaid or the Woodworking
laborer. We can get as many advertisements
as we desire at full prices, and if the Corpora
ton sees fit to take away its advertising, and
give it to some of the sickly sheets around us.
we have no objections.

FoRNEY TO RE IMPEACHED.-It is rumored
that Forney, the Clerk Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, is to be impeached or arraigned be-
fore that body for divers malpractices. We beg
to protest against anything of the kind. No
that Forney does not richly deserve arraign-
ment before any or every tribunal, or that con
dign punishment inflicted upon him would
square his account with society but because If
any deserve arraignment in connection with
his virtues, it is the members of the House OF
Representatives themselves and not Forney
The House knew his character when they elect
ed him: they had before them that famous let
ter which has made his name illustrious; and
admonitions were not wanting to warn them of
the danger of electing man of Forney's char
acter to the responsible position of Clerk.
There were many members of the House. at
that time, who, having character to lose,
dared not risk it by voting for Forney; and
though his iraternal associations with the Presi-
dent were notorious, there were some men in
Washington who refused to jeopardise their So
cial standing by exposing themselves to sus-
picion of being among his acquaintance But
these were minority. Administration favor
and Presidential support carried the day:
Forney was elected; and the House has now
nobody but itself to blame for the act. Forney
may be arraigued FOR his faults: but if he is.
the House itself will be arraigncd at the bar of
public opinion for having elected such man to
its clerkship, when no child in the country was
ignorant of his character

ried out in the arrangement Of y, three great
London parks, which (the Rege .nt's Park more
particularly may be pointed. to as models Of
correct taste and econorAcal distribution Of
space. The promenade and drives in these
delightful places Of resort are 50 artistically
LAID out as to double and wind within them
selves, until an idea of distance is obtained
which one would scarcely think possible, when
the actual space contained within their limits
is calculated.
In laying out the Central Park, it is to be
hoped that these principles will not be lost
sight Of. As we have obtained the only great
feature that was wanting to render our city
equal in point of social attraction to
any Of the European capitals, whilst in
beauty Of site and natural advantages it excels
them all, care should be taken to render the
new park an object in every way worthy Of it's
future pre-eminence. The political troubles
and complications in which the Old World is
likely to be plunged for years to come, will in
all probability drive a class Of emigrants and
visiters to our shores different from those by
whom we have hitherto been inundated. In
stead of coming here to seek for subsistence
the class we allude to win bring with them
large fortunes and luxurious habits and tastes,
the indulgence of which would be endangered
by longer continuance in their own country.
As their wealth will contribute to swell the
measure Of our own, let us endeavor so to add
to the amusements and enjoyments of our city
as to render their residence amongst us perma-
nent. If the new park be not spoiled by the
bad taste or corrupt jobbing of those entrusted
with its formation, we may expect yet to see it
rivalling in attraction the Long-Champs of
Paris or the Ring in Hyde Park
