Let US see how they have been appreciated and epe

patronage of this community:
Soon after the new Board went TO work, an adver-
tsement of the ReopeDing Of the Palace was sent to
The Ner- York Herald aud its insertion refused The
reason given Gas was understood) was Indebtedness
to that paper for advertising under the old manage
ment The money was advanced and the bill paid;
but still the advertisements of the Palace
fused a Mace in The Herald, though accompanied by
the cash The Directors sent two OF their number to
learn the reason of this and were told by Bennett
that he would do nothing calculated to advance the
interests of Barnum. But you advertise his MUSEUM
"every day-that being his private proPerty-'hen
"wby not the Crystal Palace, in which he has but
"trifDg interest ~ They were answered that the
Museum was an cid affair; that the Palace was rela-
lively new and should not be advertised while Bar
nun was at the head of its management-and GA that
they came away-Do advertisement of the Palace
being permitted to appear in The Herald.
Well: in process of time, Mr. Barnum resigned,
worn out with exhausting labor and anxiety, aud
harassed by creditors of the Association whom even
Lis means were inadequate to satisfy He had paid
of many during bis management, and left the finances
of the Association in better state than he found
them. The Directors. still laboring under heavy
load of debt, which they could not otherwise dis
charge, resolved to close the Exhibition finally with
October next and sell the Palace and other property,
so as to be able pay off at the earliest moment its
creditors And now The Herald, which had made
Barnum's presidency its prettxt for envenomed hos
tility ard for refusing to advertise the Exhibit
ton for cash, instead of being placsed by his with
drawa redOubed the display of its malice, declared
that the Exhibition had broken down, was wound up
&C. c. so that at this moment thousands actually
believe that the Palace is closed aud are thus kept
from visiting it, though it is still the most deserving
Exhibition in America, and, if located at Vauxhall
or at any point on lower Broadway, would attract
thousands instead of hundreds of visitors daily.
Well the Palace will close and the edifce be cold
next fall but meantime hope to see it the focus OF
the grandest and most comprehensive exhibition OF
American fabrics and products of skill that this
country has yet SEEN A and most efficient
Superintendent has been engaged and it is believed
that the Fall display of objects of interest will be I'M
surpassed After that, the edfce will go to the high
est bidder and we trust city that appreci-
ate it will be the purchaser. Centrally located, and
fitted up as repository of Inventions Minerals, rare
Plants &c, with lecture and concert-rOoms in its
wings it is worth Half Million Dollars this day. and
would pay the interest that sum, besides hOnoring
any city locality that possessed it, We trust it at
all events may not be broken up for this country will
not see its equal as triumph of Architecture for
the next twenty years.
