The Canadian CRYSTAL Palace.

The new Provincial Crystal Palace is situ-
atcd on the west of Toronto, and is distant
about one mile and half from the centre of
the city 1t occupies high and commanding
situation, having an excellent view of the har
Dor and lake; and being adjacent to the Grand
Trunk and Northern Railways, it is easily ac-
cessibe. There are four grand entrances
east, west north and south, the first of which
faces the railway, and is approached through
an elegant porch, 80 by 1G feet. The walls
are constructed in great measure OF obscur-
ed glass (sinar to that used in the Dublin
Exhibition Building which also enters into
the composition of the roof, and the circular
windows in the transepts being OF the same
material it serves the double purpose of diff
.fusing a sOftened light throughout the build
ing. and of excluding the glarng heat expert
enccd in this quarter of the globe. The re-
mainder of the roof is that of wood, convered
with tin, which at great distance may be
seen glstening in the midnight. The struc-
ture is upheld and braced firmly together by
cast iron pillars and grders, which at once
add to the graceful appearance of the building
and are the source of its security and stablll-
tv. The dimensions are $50 feet in length
bv 144 in breadth. The building has been
erected within space of upwards of twenty
acres of land, inclosed by high palisades. The
ground thus fenced off, will be used as site
for refreshment and other boots and sheds, 8

ted all over with small tenements; mushroom
houses are also rapidly springing up near the
| entrance to the Exhibition and already the

Where to go to do Good.

a gentleman somewhat noted for vein of
humOr, was riding some years ago in stage
coach in New Hampshire. Among his COM
panions were a number of gentlemen whose
black coats and white cravats bespoke their
their clergical profession. The conversation
turned upon its inevitable concomitant, the
institution of slavery. The clerical gentle
men were of what is termed the conversative
school The principal spokesman inveighcd
strongly against the antislavery leaders, and
against Mr. Garrison in particular for agitat-
ing the question so far away from the region
most interested.
'If he wants to attack the evil" said he
L" why does he not go where he can make
some impression upon it-where it exists p
Why does he squirt his little engine at a fire
which is blazing a thousand miles off ~
The reverend gentlemen chuckled heartily
at this sally, and the speaker looked around
with triumphal air. The person first man,
ed, though an eminent judge, was plainly dres-
sed, and had few external attractions. The
exulting clergyman turned upon him as he
sat in silence upon the frontseat, and asked
him "what he thought about ~
You, gentlemen" said the judge, zap
| pear to be clergymen. Your object is to bat
tie against sin, and to overthrow Satan's king
dom. Now, if that is your object, why dc
you stay among decent, Christian people
Why, in the divels name, don't you go t.

The New York Money Market.

The New York papers are disposed to look
a little more closely after the banks of that
city than they did before the suspension last
year. The banks have not been able for
long time to employ their money at legal rates
that money was too cheap, etc, etc. This
is so, and it is the banks that have made it
so. To make dividends they have been car
rying too large discount lines of unsafe paper,
and at too low rates. The result was easy to
foresee. In pursuit of gain they became too
much expanded, and they now find them
selves, by the rules they laid down as the ex
perience of sound banking, without the require
ed amount of coin to protect themselves in an
adverse turn of the market. Upon the show
ing of the New York banks themselves they
are in an unsafe path, from which there is but
one mode of escaping, and that by contrac-
ton to the safe point. Last week but two
banks had violated the safe rule of their own
adoption. This week fourteen are down to
the safe point, or below it. Next week the
list should be smaller, if not by the voluntary
action Of the banks, by the action of that part
of the banks which mean to keep safe and SOL

Further Particulars of the Burning OF
the Austria.

QUEBEC, Oct 4.
We have ascertained the following particu-
lars from the rescued passengers : The pumps
on the vessel, in connection with the fire en-
gine, were ns n working order. Some at
tempt was IT to render it available, but
the progress the flames was too rapid.
Near the fOre-castle, ropes were made fast to
the chains outside, and to these numbers
chung, but as the flames progressed, one by
one gave way, and found grave. In the
bowsprit the passengers were laid out, tier
upon tier, piled one on top of the other, some
times four deep. This was last resource,
and from this they were finally driven, only
one man being left seated upon the end.
Eighteen persons got hold of the chain forming
the bowsprit stay, and chung to it till four
o'clock in the morning. A seaman clambered
from the stay to the bowsprit, and found
there was chance of extinguishing what fire
there was, and gave directions to those cling
ing to the stay to dip portions of their cloth
ing in the sea and pass them up to him, and
the fire was SO far subdued as to render the
bowsLrit, a place of comparative safety. They
renamed there unth the pos.t, from. tl.a Kata-
rina picked them up. Eighteen persons were
found on the bowsprit, three in the water at
the side, and one on the railing of the steam
er. A young girl, with her brother, had re-
manned all night On the bowsprit, hanging on
by the rigging.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
How a Lady Saved her Life, but Lost
her JeWelry and Passage Honey on
board tho Austria.

Some persons are born under lucky star
or are protected by an oycr-ruling Providence
when they least expect it, and are themselves
mourning at the arrangement of their plans.
A lady resident of this city, arrived home yes
terday from visit to Europe, where she has
been spending the past few months. A short
time previous to the sailing of the Austria,
the lady sent the amount necessary for d cab
in passage to New York, to the agent at HAM
burg, with instructions to select her good
state-room. He did directed, with the eX
ception of civinS her desirable location in
vessel and on her arrival at Hamburg, to sail
with tne steamer, she found the vessel so
crowded with passengers, and the room as
signed her so undesirable, that she concluded
to take passage on another steamer. With
this intention, she applied to the agent for the
return of her passage money, but ne declined
to refund. "a bargain was a bargain with
him, and the lady was either compelled to ac-
cept such quarters as had been assigned her,
or to return in another vessel and lose her
passage ticket. She determined to adopt the
latter course, and at once secured a state
room in another steamer.
After her arrangements had been made, and
before the Austria sailed, I; feeling took pos
session of her mind that the vessel in which
she had taken passage would meet with some
terrible accident, and that she herself would
in all probability be lost! So well satisfied
was she that something would happen, just
as people frequently borrow trouble with
out waiting for it to come along naturally, that
she determined to send her jewelry by the Aus
tra She therefore stripped herself of every
thing valuable, watch and chain, pins and
rings, brooches, &C., to considerable amount,
and packed them securely in casket, com
mitted them to the care of the Captain of the
Austria, taking the precaution to inform her
friends OF what she had done, in order that
she might recover the property in case her
own groundless fears in regard to herself
should be realized.
The result is well known. The vessel in
which the lady took passage arrived safely at
its destination. That which she had been
prompted to leave even at considerable loss,
with its load of human beings, met with a fate
that appalled, the stoutest hearts 1t is need
less to add that the lady is contented. She
lost her passage money and jewelry, but saved

NEIDNIGMT MUSINGS.

'Tis midnght's still and holy hour,
The hour when dreams tiit through the bran
And wake TO life some withered flower
That left upon the earth its stain.
The full-orbed moon shines calm and bright
Upon the dew bespangled earth;
And in the soft and silvery light
Strange shadows dance in silent mirth.
The pageant throng that nightly crowd
Around fair Luna's regal throne,
Yelled not by mist or heccy cloud,
Shine brilliant us they ever shone.
'Tis midnight, too, within my soul,
Midnight bereft OF every star;
And through its depths dark shadows roll,
No CLEAN OF Ii ght finds entrance there.
The past. the past comes floating by,
And brings the wreck of golden hours;
Pause, memory. as We bring it nigh,
With tears I'll battle these cherished flowers
., will they never bloom again!
Must hopes and loves forgotten be.
Then earth will seem desert plain,
And life, though short, eternity.
All, one bright flower could but save,
Whose fragrance thrilled my soul with love,
I'd toss the rest on Lcthe's wave,
And bid its waters onward move.
To thee my yearning spirit cings
As drowning souls TO vessels side,
Enfod me in thy spirit-wings,
Or else sink beneath the tide.

Living Fairies.

The Boston Adyertiser mentions having
seen at a gentleman's private rAoidence
in that city two little girls who presented in
themselves singular physiological study
Their ages wore respectively 8 and II years
while they weighed but 13 and ) pounds, and
their height from crown to sole is but 80 and
81 inches respectively yet they are in all res
poets symmetrically made, healthy and happy
children, able to talk, sing, dance and play
like other children of their age. What is re-
markable about these little fairies, moreover,
is the fact that their father and mother are
mortals of ordinary size, and that they have
younger brother and sister and 6 years of
age, who have attained the growth usual to
their ages. They are much greater curios-
ity than the "Aztecs," who made so much
excitement here few years since, for they
were idiOtic, while these little girls are are
bright and intelligent as well as diminutive.-
They were born in one of the towns in Mid
dlesex county, Massachusetts, of genuine
Yankee stock. They will not be made a pub
lie exhibition, but will live natural lives in pri-
vacy, with their relations. They weighed
about 3! pounds each at the time of their
BIRTH and continued to grow like other child
ren until the age of eighteen months, when
the arret du Development commenced. They
each of them wear without difficulty rings
which were put on their fingers at the age OF
two years. They are charming pretty child

Breach of Promise Case In mississippi.

The KOsciuskO (Miss) Chronicle of the 18th
records an interesting "breach of PROMISE
case, which was decided at the last term of
the Attala court the parties being Miss
A. Burnley vs. w. j. Sails, and the dam
age claimed, $4,000. The Chronicle says
The parties being of the highest respecta-
bilty, and numerOusly related in the country,
the amount involved large, legal talent of the
first order being retained on each side, and
the case being a novel one in this portion of
the Union, it naturally created great deal of
interest, and drew together very large con-
course of people, among whom were quite
goodly number of ladies', the court house
being crowded throughout the trial, which las
ted the best part of two days. The testirno-
ny went to show, that after the engagement
of marriage had existed for over twOyears be-
tween the parties, Mr.. Sails gave notice in
writing to Miss Burnley of his desire to be re-
leased OF his engagement on the score OF bad
health but that Miss Burnley had declined to
release him, signitying her willingness to wait
until the defendant had recovered from his at
tack of chlls, and that defendant failing to
bring aboutssa compromise in another attempt
some six months afterwards, had lila, led
other young lady. This action, therefore, was
brought to recover damages for breach of
promise Of marriage, and the loss which the
plaintiff claimed to have sustained thereby
The defendants counsel, on the other hand,
admitted the breach of promise but cOntended
that inasmuch as plaintiff had sustained no
special damage, therefore she was entitled to
only nominal damages.
The case was ably argued for the prosecu-
ton by Messrs. Lawso and Niles, and Messrs.
Franklin Smith, r. S. Hudson and J. A. p.
Campbell for the defence, in speeches Of long
and learned sentences" sparkling with gems
of rhetoric, poesy and wit; indeed it is gener-
ally admitted that on no occasion has our
court witnessed such legal contest. The
jury retired and in two hours returned with a
verdict of ten dollars for the plaintiff. We
understand that the young gentlemen on the
jury stood out for a heavy verdict, but that
the married gentlemen over-ruled them. The
case will be carried up to the high court of
errors and appeals.
