Washington, dated June 4th, says:
Gen. Sam. Houston has just returned from

The ExHIBITIoN.-We spent very agreeable
hour at the exhibition of New York and the Crys-
tai Palace, on Friday evening last. In conse-
quencc of the inclemency of the weather but few
persons were present, but Judging from the attcn-
ton given, those few were undoubtedly well
pleased. The painting is a Gnc one and very ac-
curate, although We think the drop curtain would
so puzzle the beholdcr as to make it hard for him
to tell whether it was New YOk or Mexico he
was gazing at. Aside from this everything con-
nccted with the exhibition is commcndable. The
views Of Crystal Palace exceedingly accurate,
while the descriptions Of the various places arc
given in a distinct tone and of a truthful ma
ture. TO get an adequate idea, however, of New
York and its cnvirons, the visitor must rvct his
ewes On the canvas and give undivided attention to
the speaker. We think visit to the exhibition
will well repay our readers for their time and
money. te
