putting in old books and papers and locking the doors
were placed within, about foot apart, the doors
elevated the Safes about ten inches-leaving about
ten inches space between the Safes and THE inner
wall Of the furnace vault; when coke, charcoal,
pine wood and rosin barrels were placed under and
around the Safes, filling the vacuum. The door or
front of the vault was then massned up with bricks
leaving holes open below to produces strong
draft--the fire lighted about O'Clock, P. NJ. and
strong heat kept up by replenishing the fire with
wood, charcoal and coke, passed in at either end

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The n. I. Herald states that BARNUM has
dived into the affairs of the Crystal Palace,
and found them very much down at the heel
that he finds it has sunk $4,000 and is
100000 in debt-and that he will resign the
office of President. The Herald is very IN
reliable authority for any and every thing :;
but there may be truth in this We have
rather suspected that the New York CRYSTAL
Palace would prove no go. The great affair
at London was the original mammoth idea
which required a acorld to put in motion and
carry through successfully. Its novelty was
the key to its triumph. To repeat it was. we
apprehend, to fail. 1t belonged to that class
of events that come once in an age, and which
it is perilous to attempt to initiate New
York does well when she is original, and she
had better stick to her own inventions. Bv
the side of the Crystal Palace there is a struc
ture peculiarly GothamHe-the LArTING o.
