THg CRYSTAL PALAcE.-We notice by advertise
merits in the daily papers that the American Institute
ia now r possession Of the Cyst. Palace and it ad
vertnes tina. viii rent the same for floral and straw
berry festivals &c, TO those who may desire to enter
into such specustions, and will pay the rept it de-
MAIDS. This movement on the part Of the Institute
co1s belief that the recent forcibe entry by the
City in and upon the Crystal Palace property was
MAZE ct the instga.ion OF and for the benefit and ad
V6EtdRe OF tDe lCsutu,e. tEe Ite VI Lnc
building fo1 tsasby annual fairs during the past three
years, from John II, White, the Receiver, at mere
nominal rent this corporate body entertained the idea
that the Receiver bound to maintain and keep the
building in good repsr for its especial benefit; and
when informed tha; the intention Of the Receiver
to make pay fair rent for the use Of the building,
certain of its Trustees and Managers conceived the
brlian. idea of having the City take possession Of the
building and allow the fossil remains of the Institute
or house CT refuge for old fosiee to quarter upon
and find a resting place in il. To carry out this
plan the Corresponding Secretary Of the destitute
undertook the task Of tickling our venerable Con-
troler while certain other Trustees TO soft-ssw
der the Mayor. The plan was se. in motion and worked
like q charm. The Mayor and Controller were de.
lighted with the idea of getting into their custody the
Crystal Palace and the property therein contained be-
longing to the confdirg and unsuspectiug exhibitors.
Accordingly day was fixed for the aequestration Of
the property, ard at the time appointed the city au
thoIties dispatched corps Of policemen, under the
command of the gallant Dyckman, of the Controllers
Office (who is likewise manager of the Iustuto), to
proceed to Reservoir Square and take possession of the
Palace and all its contents. No one pretends thst this
movement on the pMt of the Mayor and Controller
can be sustained by any law of the land, written
or unwritten, or that it can be justified
upon any principle OF equity and right
But answered every purpose, so far as the American
Instituts was concerned. They saw an opening for
their annual display Of jmcracks and they cared not
hoac the Palace was obtained if be they only got it
into their possession. They have accomplished this
object but we doubt whether il will do them any
good. In the first place, the city has legal title to
the properly and therefore cannot lease what it does
not own. 10 the second place, If the property has
vested in the city under the Iew charter, the city can
not lease it, unless by putting up at public auction
for term Of years. 1t is the power of the Receiver
to obtain injunction restraining the city and the In
etitute from its at any time. Whether he will De
this or commence suit sganst the city for its value
we are not advised. We presume, however, he will
adopt the latter course.
Advertisements announce the Palace Garden, and
state that it has just been opened to the public, in
Fourteenth street. Sixth avenue II s garden as
It's name says and it decorated with lamps, and flow
ers, and other things agreeable to the eye. Refresh
ments and music are provided for the deecaon Of the
public, and we need no further guaranty Of the e1'
celence Of the latter entertainment than the mama OF
Mr. Thomas Baker who has charge of the harmenes.
The propretors of the establishment are two persons
Of the respective of Tsdale and De Forest who
were among the chief movers lately in the Grand
Charity demonstration Of the Hunter Woods Associa
ton at the Crystal Palace. Probably the place Of
"out door recreation" takes the name Of Palace
Garden from certain substantially grateful "reminiscences
of the proprietors connected with that jolly specula
ton 1t is not stated what honorable gentleman is to
have charge Of the hat room, but certainly ought
not to be the individual who distinction in tha:
department at the Hunter Woods spree al the Crystal
Palace.
NEW PLAY IN Bosros.-A new plsy by literary
gentleman Of this city was produced a. the Howard
Atheneum in Boston on Wednesday night, with sue

The play is q melodrama with strong dash Of the
comic element; Of the Still Waters Run Deep"
.choo which has risen 8, rapidly in public favor for

fitness as an acting play acknowledged before It's

and are now enthusiastically ndorsed by al the daily
Journalists of tina! city with singular unanimty. Il is
