The Crystal Palace DESTROYED.

The destruction of the Crystal Palace at
New York by fire on the 7th inst, involves a
loss varlously estimated at from S50O,OOO TO
$I,0OO,OOO. The original cost of the building
was about $S00.000, and sOme OF the papers
estimate the value of the machinery, goods.
works of art, &c destroyed, at over 81 900.
900. The structure had, however, been sold
some year or more since for $I25 0OO and at
the time of lis destruction it was owned by the
city of New York, and held at about $500. 900
value, having an insurance in various Offices
amounting to $lOOOOO. Among the property
destroyed were several fine pieces of statuary
including CIss' equestrian statue Ofthe ANA zon :;
Marochetts' fine colossal statue of Washing
ton casts from ThorwOlsden's group of the
Apostles; bas-relief of the Descent from
the Cross" mantle statue of Columbus, and
several other valuable works of art. The Pal
ace was originally the property of an incorpora-
lion, known as the "As$oclatlon for the Exhi-
bItIon of the Industry of all Nations This
Company was Incorporated March IL, 1852
the hrst President was Theodore Sedgwick-
The building was commenced in the Fall of
1852. and inaugurated by President Pierce. on
the I4th OF July, 1853. The exhibition re-
maIned open for nearly year, and the Presi.
dency was subsequently vested in Mr.. p. T.
Barnum, under whose auspices a re.naugura-
ton took place on the 4th of May, lS5l 1t is
believed that no loss of life has attended the
calamity; had the fire, however, broken out at
later hour, such could not have been the case.
as 1t was concert night, and it was estimated
that there would have been ten thousand pre.
sens in the building at O'Clock The fire was
without doubt the work of an incendiary.-I
The affair will undergo thorough inyesiiga-
tion.
The Commercial Emporium thus, all of a
sudden, loses one of its most unique archtectu-
raj ornaments-whe Science aud Art are
most lnopportunely deprived of an establish |
ment with which they have for some years been !
most intimately associated. Indeed, the loss |
may be said to be a national oue-for the nation
could boast of but one Crystal Palace There |
was no other edltice like It iii the whole Union. |
nor on the continent. 1t stood alone, in Dic.
turesqne splendor, and when the ire-fiend de-
creed It's destruction, America was robbed of
the only building of It's kind which might credi-
tably compete with similar structur's which
European capital, taste and pride had reared in
England and France.

The Crops.

The Cincinnati Gazette says of the corn crop
at the West, the quality OF the corn this wear
will be far superior To last years crop. This is
a point not TO be disputed, but in quantitu
there is large deficiency as compared with
average crops. Ohio will not yield in bushels
much, if any, over fve-eights of the quantity
produced last year; Indiana oue-half; Illinois
and Iowa three -lourths, Kentucky and Tennes-
see will furnish full crops. The grain in quail.
ty, however, will go far toward making up for
tde deficiency in bulk 1t is, we think, time that
the crops OF l555 will furnish more bushels of
sound corn than was realized from that of
1857.
In Wv Ta-'apd and New York both corn
and potatoes are full average Very little
damage by frost, and less complaints OF potato
disease than usual of late years. The apple
crop in Ohio New Jersey, the greater part of
New York and the Southern part of Connecti-
cut, is in general very light
10 Eastern New York, above the Highlands
and in New England, there is an abundance of
apples; and if the farmers are wise they will
make the most of it. In the zone little far
fher South, the blossoms were mostly DESTROYED
by severe frost. Where the crop Is most
abundant, the buds were not sufficiently de-.
yeloped to be seriously injured In Columbia
county, New York, large qua antilles have been
sold at So barrel, delivered at the LANDING
places along the river.
