The two and half acres Of ground lately COW
cred by the largest building on the Western Con-
tinent, the Crystal Palace, is now buried beneath
the ruins and rubbish of that fairy fabric. Under
all lies the consumed hopes of many poor me-
chanics, who had spent days and nights Of toll to
produce the beautiful models there destroyed
Visitors who Hocked to the Palace when in its
fullest tide of success, who looked upon it as q
bright and fairy castle chained to earth, would
not now recognize the glorious vision reduced to
heap of iron, broken and melted glass and Gin
ders. A very small portion Of valuables have
been recovered from the ruins which are being
rapidly cleared away. As soon as the eighteen
thousand tons of iron used in its construction are
removed, nothing but blank space will be left to
remind us of the famous Crystal Palace and its
recouections.
The Quarantine grounds are still occupied and
guarded by the military, who are regularly en-
camped according to the rules Of war. The build
ines have been burned, and now vessels are no
longer detained in Quarantine except for slight
fumigaton, but still an armed force is kept to
overawe the people. The Governor appears de-
termined to carry out his purpose of locating
Quarantine at Staten Island in spite of all remon-
strances. New buildings have been ordered, and
consequently the difficulties are not yet ended.
Lola Montez is az ain in the field, this time for
the poor against the Clergy or fragment there
of, She volunteered lecture for the purpose of
raising funds to assist in rebuilding church for
the poor, laudable object when it is taken into
consideration that the poor have little chance to
hear the gospel preached. The minister Of the
church in question gladly accepted the Offer
For his temerity, his Bishop rated him severely
thereby rejecting on the morals Of the Countess
The lioness was aroused, the lecture was deliver
ed, and the Bishop read lesson, in the papers
and out, which will do him and his kind the re-
mainder of their lives.
The crew Of the SLAYER Haidee ore still on trial,
but nothing has been elected except that the ship
WAS built where abolitionists shrek and Puritan
sawbones lay down morals for the rest Of mankind
to sail by into their contracted haven.
The British Ship Valorous, of Atlantic Cable
fame, arrived yesterday with AZ of the passengers
Of the Inflated steamship Austria. One Of them
reports the Austria's Captain asleep at the time
Of the accident, and hence may be presumed his
want of presence Of mind in the fearful moment
of trial. The Valorous will take Sir Gore Ouse-
lev, British Minister, to Nicaragua, where he goes
to negotiate in reference to the Transit Route.
The frigate Sabine, the flagship of the Paraguay
SQUADRON is ready to soil with the American COM
missioner to South America. She will sail to-
morrow, the day set for her departure.
The Atlantic Telegraph is still unable to work
satisfactorily. The electricians differ about the
continuity Just enough to demonstrate that they
know nothing at all about it, except that is very
imperfect and signals passed, if passed at all,
with yery great difficulty. The project Of laying
a new cable is being debated on the other side OF
the water. The success of the present enterprise
NAV be set down at about IS per cent. discount.
The political pot begins to boil furiousy IN this
State and City. The opposition stock Is aooVe
par at the result of the recent elections IN Penn
svlyania. One hundred rounds Of burnt gun-poW
der measured the intensity of the opposition re-
ioicinps. The Republicans and Americans nave
partly fused making division enough for DEM
ocratic victory in November. The Herata mas
nominated no less than three candidates Tor looo:
Fremont came first, then followed Cameron, and
now we have Gen. Scott as the fusion's choice, all
of whom Bennett is thoroughly capable Of killing
with kindness, such as it is. The wire-pullers
and lop-rollers are hard at work; tricks and dod-
ges are the order of the day. SEIh.
