THE CRYSTAL PALAcE.-we have received

THE CRYSTAL PALAcE.-We have received
from the President of the Worlds Industrial
Exhibition in New York. Mr.. p 7. Bar
mum, circular imparting the gratifying in
telligence that he is engaged in extensive
arrangements for re-opening the Crystal
Palace on the fourth of May next, and that
it is entirely relieved of all pecuniary en-
barrassment. Two circulars over his name
appear in the New York papers, one address
ed to the directors and another to the ex-
hibitors. In the former, it is announced
that several eminent horticulturists will add
a new feature 10 the display by the contri-
button of rare plants. The Dutch govern
ment have contributed a large variety Of
articles from Japan. The foreign agent OF
the association sends word that in conse-
quence of the unsettled state of the European
Continent, the number of costly paintings
and valuable chef d'euvres in sculpture
ready to be forwarded is unusually large
Arrangements are being perfected for the
purchase of collection of admirable copies
of all the celebrated statues of the Antique
a model of the city of Venice, carved la
wood, is also to be added. Musical socie-
ties and bands have signiied their disire to
contribute to the eclat of the affair. The
plan of exhibition will be altered in some
respects-one feature now mentioned is the
grouping of all articles belonging to single
class together, from whatever quarter they
may come. More extended facilities for
operating machinery will be provided; tele
!, graph and mail stations are included in the
arrangements and understanding has al
ready been had with railroad and steamboat
companies for Bringing persons to the e1-
:, hibition from distant places at moderate
charge for fare.

head of this exhibition. He is precisely the

from the effects of the bad management.

A Washington correspondent writes to
the New York Express, that singularly
valuable work has been added to the Con-
gressional library, in the shape of complete
file of the London Gazette, from 1856 to the
present time. This is the only complete file
in existence and was obtained through Rich
& Sons, of London. the English agents of
the library. The Royal Library of Great
Britain made several Intellectual attempts to
obtain this work, but the prize was borne
off by Brother Jonathan The Gazette has
been, for 200 years, the official journal of
the British Government, and in it were first
published all civil, military and naval ap-
pointments, resignatio deaths and dismis-
sals-all bankruptcies, proclamations, ordi-
nances, and dispatches from military and
naval officers in command Oh foreign sta
tions. The history of the whole civilized
world for the-last two centuries, in which
England has borne SO important part is
contained in this journal. There we fna
the original record of the battles of the Bovine,
Blenheim, Fontenoy, Minden, Families,
Quebec, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Yorktown,
and Waterloo; and the great sea fights Of
Camperdown, Aboukir, st. Vincent, CopeA-
hagen, Trafalgar, and Navarino. The deaths
of Wolfe, Brown and Nelson--the appoints.
ments and promotions of Wellington, Moore,
Smith, Pigot, Beresford, Cathcart, and other
heroes whose names will be readily suggested
to the reader. 1t may be supposed such g
document would be welcome to our Libra
rles, as furnishing graphic and continuous
history of the last 200 years. 1t will prove
an invaluable reference to all future histori-
ans, and we hope it may be placed in
room not liable to destruction by fire.

Capt. EDWARD JENNINGS,
Wreck Master.
All along the shore for ten miles was scat
tered the remnants Of the chests and trunks
of the passengers, many of them having
names inscribed on the lids and sides.--I
Feather beds, cooking utensils, empty casks,
and pieces Of the vessel were to be seen on
every side. Letters of the dead were scat
tered here and there, and bibles and prayer
books lay gIlstening in the sun, and the
whole desolation presenting melancholy
and heart-rending scene.
A letter dated AbseCum, April 20, says:
"One of the women found was about
twenty-eight years OF age, OF handsome tea-
lures, and apparently an American. The
clothing of another of the victims, about
twenty years of age, showed her to belong to
the wealthy class of Germans. She was a
beautiful looking creature, even as she lay III
death. On her fingers she wore two rings
one plain, and the other having heart at
tached to it. They were marked "P. s.
and B. S." 1854
Among the bodies is a man who was ap-
parenty one of the officers Of the vessel.
About fifty bodies have been taken to
Smithville for interment Most of the peO-
pie here are afraid to touch them, which leaves
the work for d few to perform. A number
Of the women and children washed ashore
had nothing on but their night clothes.
One interesting little girl, about eleven
years of age, was i'll her bare feet; her right
eye was knocked out, and the right side of
her face was black and blue. A little boy,
about eight years OF age, came along side OF
her. His face was swollen up 10 twice its
natural size. A man, apparently sailor,
who came ashore at the same time, had his
skull broken. The bodies had the appearance
of having been dashed against the wreck.
A report from Little Egg Harbor states
that German was picked up there alive
He had been delirious ever since, and of
course we cannot get any information from
him. We have just received report that the
captain and mate of the Powhatan have been
saved on Long Beach. Several Of the dead
bodies on Brigantine beach are reported to
have been robbed.
A dispatch received in Baltimore yester-
day states that two hundred and fifty bodies
have been washed ashore Several of them
were found ten or twelve miles from the
scene of disaster.

The Trial of the Wards.

The correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Elizabet thtown, KY,
where the trial is progressing says
Matt. f. Ward is on trial. He is in
very feeble health and looks miserable. One
of his legs is all shrunk up with rheumatism,
he looks thin, pale, with hectic flush on his
cheek. In addition he is now suffering from
a severe pain in his head, to which he has to
apply wet cloths while in the court room-
He has evidently slept on no bed of roses
for the past few months. His wife has evi-
IDENTIFY shared his sorrow with him in the
Jail, and sticks by his side in the court room,
with unmistakeable marks of anguish stamp
ed on every feature Of her countenarce.-
Judging from her appearance, she is full as
miserable as Mrs. Butler, since the melan-
choly event which sent the husband of one
to the grave, and of the other to the Jail.
The entrance of the Ward family into the
court room, yesterday morning was most
touching scene. The sobs Of the ladies
brought tears into the sternest eyes. All the
associations were the most melancholy
whether we consider the cause. the result, Oh
! the past and present condition of the par
| ties
But four witnesses have as yet been ex-
amned. They were all boys in the school
and testify to the same general facts-tha
Matt. F. and Robert ]. Ward came in ant
inquired for Mr.. Butler,-that Butler came
out of his recitation room and advanced
towards thpm,-that Matt. f. made some
inquiry of Butler, and Butler asked him into
his room and he would there explain,-tha
Ward refused to 60, and said the matte
must be settled there,-and after one or twt
more questions and answers, Ward called
Butler liar,-that then Butler raised hi
arm and made step towards Ward, at the
same time Ward fired a pistol, Butler fel
immedia iately ly,-that Matt. Ward drew an
other pistol, and Robert J. Ward knife
and cried, "stand off,"-that the Ward
then went out, Butler arose, staggered few
steps, was assisted by the boys to dwellin
near
This reveals the point on which the defenc
will rest-sef- defence. The raising of Bu
lers arm will be construed into an attac
, against which Ward had a right to defen
himself

FoRIGN ITEMs.-An important sally was
made from Kalafat, and sanguinary engage

England, independent of the present war;

demand reparation for the Black Warrior
affair. On the 9th the Spanish Government
gave the needful apologies, and full recon-
pense, besides blaming the Captain General
of Cuba for his conduct.
/ CHINA.-The Russian Mission had ap-
parently succeeded in its mission to Japan.
A Russian steamer arrived at Shanghai from
Mangiski on the 10th.
The Emperor of Japan had consented to
negotiate, and had sent ministers to treat
with the Russian Admiral. The japanese
ministers report that they would undoubted-
ly open their ports but required time.

The Social CIRcLE.--Some time
ago we took occasion to make, what
zoe thought, favorable mention of the

jackson. The Mirror comes down
on NJ. Jan'y. 12sb, in the most furious
manner, and in the same article, deals
avagely with q Miss Lucy" some
body, who it seems addressed a letter
to the secretary Of the circle for in
formation. The Mirror says that the

good grace from an editor. "wao SO
lately went into raptures about the
ladies promenading near his sanctum.' >
We didn't do it, and since the Mirror
makes the charge we call for the evil
dence. We never yet went into rap
lures about any thing, not being at all
given that way. The sevetcst cut Of
all, though, is this from the Mirror:
The only opposition met by the
Circle has 60 strong an odor Of wine
and brandy, that those persons who
offer it are generally very much ex-
cited.
We must honestly confess = weak
ness for good wine, though not op-
posed to the jackson Circle, or any
other Circle that has for its object the
sobriety Of all within the limit Of its
circumference. We cannot however
be made to believe that wine is the
only evil Of society-the consuming
fire only outequaled by Plutonian
flames. We like Temperance tenn
perately advocated and we like good
wine, for which m all truth and sin
ccrity we thank the Lord.
