PALAIs DE LISDUsTRIE.
Certain persons, disappointed In not hnding the
Universal Exposition to be what they had antic-
mated conclude that the fault lie not In their anti
cipation but in it, and say that it is failure.
Now. az a mercantile speculation there is danger
for the Company that built the Palace that 1t Will
be a failure. Its shares have fallen at the Bourse
since the opening. On the part Of the management
there was great, gross, inexcusable and almost
inexpicsble failure in calculation The Exhibition
was 10 be in order on the 1st of May. Ii will not
be before the middle Of June. The ceremony Of
opening at first adjourned for fortnight and per-

comparison with those that were still nailed fast,
was a failure. But this merely proves that the
French managers, with the experience of London,
DubliR, New-York and Munich to help them, are
not so good caculators in business matters,
despite their national reputation for method and
shill in management and administration, rs English
managers without experience for a guide Mean
tire there is already exposed in the Palace what
might satisfy a robust curiosity through several
days' examination. One who decided ten days
ago after basty glance, that the Exhibition was
q failure, would already find an admirable ac-
emulation of reasons for revising his crude
judgment. Those who seek in the Palace
only the splendOrs Of an enormous toy
shop, should adjourn their visit to next month.
For them it might be failure. The building it
self is also, to some extent, failure in architect
ural respects The glass roofing does not bar
monte with the stone walls, which are heavy
without being imposing, and not agreeably relieved
BY the long rows of windows. Your little Palace
in Newly Ork was much more elegant, and tor
temporary structure better fitted to its purpose.
But these tickle" French sacrificing show TO use,
have built this Palace for permanent object-tor
their regularly recurring national fairs. Consid-
cred as silent but eloquent Congress of the repre-
sentatives of industrial production, the French
Exhibition is anything but failure. An English
map whose connection with the Worlds Fair at
London and with this one at Paris gives some
weight to his authority, informs me that IN the
French department-as might be supp0sed-the
latter is SUPERIOR and in the English department
is equal to the former. The failure, if anywhere,
is most striking just at present in the American

Prince Napoleon gives a series OF grand receptions
whose especial purpose is to do the hospitable
honors to the dgnitares of the industrial and other
worlds brought to Paris on occasion of the Expo

Potiphars as substitute for presentation to the
Emperor, who does not receive at the Tuileries in

sometimes gives ball at st. Cloud, our good ma

open through the season, and will be always ready
to perform its duties in favor of applicants for

pursued in the Palais Royal-are to be given
weekly at the Jardin d'Hirer, under the auspices
of Musard and Cellarius. Their character for
chasteness and elegance is guaranteed by the price
of admisson-ten francs demanded indiflerently
