or" ooaree, my tjM were busy ftrom the
time I entered London; and, when the cabman
palled ap in right of a large betiding*
a crowd of people teemed to be gaainy
atttf deeerattoas, I Mt tare that tome extraordinary
demonstration was forward. We
V were obliged to turn back,. the drirer find lag
ii lmposaioio u> force a passage mrougu in*
t. immense thronjc. I ascertained at my hotel
,that tho building I had seen was Guild Hall,
' ?. whleh had boon oxprassly decorated, at graat
expense, in preparation for a grand dinner
and ball in honor of His Majesty, Abdul Assis,
the Saltan of Turkey.- The evening's entertainment
was to bo preceded by a publio
procession, -in which it was expeoted that
.v many of the nobility, and some members of
the Royal family, might be seen, although
Victoria herself wan absent from London.?
? Shall I be la time to see it ?" said X. "Yea;
abundant time. You'ro only to go as far as
fit. Paul's, for tho procession will pass
through Cbeapside, nod down King St., to
Guild Hull." This assnraoca satisfied me; so,
taking " a hasty plate of soup," as a sort of
pioneer te a ent of roast-beef which formed
ths main body of my dinner, I ventured forth
t to meet this hero of a hundred wives |
- Cv Apropos of my dinner, I will remark that beef
and mutton are the standard dishes at all
hotels la this country, and ?ne or tho other Is
plaeed before the guest, at evory meal, from
wrhloh he Is expected to eut for himself, ad
libitum. English roast-beef is as proverbial
as Tapper's Philosophy, and not half to hard
te digest; and, though praised by many poets,
has been rarefy orerJost; while " RonlhHonn"
mutton. In England, is qnlte a different
thing from mutton do ten South, in
*' ' ' ' America.

me, was out of the question ; my arms
Were pioionod to my sido, like a bird's wings,
c-- ready for the spit; but, if this compression
added to my elongation, I was all the better
able to see over the heads of my neighbors;
and who would not bear a little squeesing

. neeful fellows wcro tho unoffending targets foi
a thousand harmless gibes from the lookerson,
who seemed to bo in the best poesihls
humor, and full of fan without vulgarity, as a
crowd of Englishmen and women know how
to be. Ilalf an hour elapsed before a carriage
J j made its appearance, when a shout went up
. ;? from the crowd, "There they oome, thors
'v the* oome!" And, sure onough, they did
oome, fall tilt, but not the ones who were expected;
only some fire or six of the royal

ooo that X tu In London,) I took t trip to (V
Srdenhom. to am tha Crystal Man. which ia o<
only four or Ave mile*, hy rail, from London. B
I bought i return ticket,, which included ad- "
n Us ton to the PsIin, for two shillings sad
soon (bond myself at Sydenham. This an - T
perb structure, together with its packs, fountains,
etc., were designed end laid opt by Sir ci
Joseph Pax ton, upon n most simple plan, with s|
exquisite taste. The length of Ibe palaco is 6
1000 (hot, and its breadth is more than 900 t<
foot. The nave, or larger middle avenue, rani V
north nod sooth, from and to sod, and la in- a
terseoted by three traneqpts, the centre one t<
being maoh the largest. The lleeat view Jf the p
interior may he had la this Mentor transept, o
which is entirely devoted to Music end her tl
sister arts. On the western aide ie a tnagnlfl- J
cent orchestra, called tho " Handel orchestra," u
its scats rising behind each other, to a great l>
height. It has aooommodatod, at one ttine, "
4000 porfornscrt, vocal and instrumental. The n
arch ever thU orchestra is 81 feet in height,
Is timber built, mud has u eloar span of 194 feet (
The orchestra contains a sweat toned and /
powerful organ, which I had the pleaaere op g
hearing. ThU grand Instrument was built by a
Oray A Co., of London, expressly for the n
Palace. It has fonr manuals and throe octavos o
of pedal keys, 74 stops, and 4000 pipes. The I
Company employ an organUt, who plays it t
every dsj. e
The Crystal Palace has an appcaranoe of
extreme lightness, but its strength is prodl- J
gious. It Is composod principally of Iron a
and glass. Tho columns are arranged in
squares of 34 feet, and a unit of 8 governs its '
whole horixoatal measurement; SO that, by *
counting the pillars between any two spots' *
and multiplying by 24, one can get the exact '
distance. On tho outside walls, and tho oolo-- *
nados, the columns arc 8 fact apart. And so a
on through tho whole building, ovory horizon- 4
Lai measurement U a multiple of 8 foet. A '
knowledge of thU fact makes it easy for a '
vUtor to And his way about tho building, and 5
there U a natural satisfaction, while standing '
at any one point, to be able-to calculate aecu 1
rately the vista in aither direction. Thero arQ *
\mu guicnn, me ueigius 01 wnicn aro governed
by a different measurement j the firat,
or lower one, being nearly 22 feet from the
floor; and the socond, which extendi entirely
around the building, la At feet Imm the floor,
being on a level with the chord of the arch
above the nave, which la 105 feet In height.?
The extreme height of tho arch that cover*
the middle transept, ia IAS feet from the floor,
and a gallery which extendi quite around thii
giddy height, ia kept closed moat ef the time* '
fot (ear of aeetdenta. My ambition wae satisfied
with a lei* lofty view. From tbi* brief
descriptive outline, a slight idea may be eon<
celvpd of the immeaalty of thii aplder'i weir
of human invention.
The groanda and garden a, which are very
. extensive, and in excellent keeping with the
tructuro itaelf, abound with innumerable '
, atatuea, standing muto sentinel* over the unending
beds of flowers, whose freshness ia
enbanoed l>y a hundred ebarming fountains
, and miniature lakes, teeming with flnny and
, feathorcd life. Tho interior of the Palace is
, divided into coarts, named according to tho
I several objects, or conntrioa, that they are
intended to represent. South of tho control
I transept are the Industrial Courts, whore dlf- ;
, ferent kinda af machinery, waved by *teem>
I are In full operation. Various articles are
manufactured and sold here, nnd the latest
' mochanical improvements exhibited,
i On the north aide of the central transept wo
, come into tba Courts of antiquo and modern
i fine arts, the Kgyptian Court, tho Creek Court*
the Jffinoveh Court, the lloninn Court, the Alf
hainbra Court, tho Bysantine Court, (he En
j gliah Modifeval Court, Ac., Ac., Ac. Within
i these Courts, a representation has been ntr
tempted of 'ho different stylos of architecture,
f Ac., belonging to the several countries and
r periods where each flourished, in its tint*. Tn
- the Egyptian Court are represented. In massive
t proportions though on a reduced scale, some
0 e as torn shrines of worship, and many of those
1, gigantic^pUlars which form the hall leading

a models, not quite half so large as the origii,

t, Ramcses II, the great Egyptian Jc.ro who
h lived a hundred years, or so, before King Da?
rid's time. All down the front of these etMd

la ono of tba ablest and most aceomdislied
mm in America, scholar, statesman*
>alri?t and a gentleman combined, and, of
>u. sc, deeply opposed to the extreme Radial
and diatrhotive doctrines of Wads, Str.
ens and oil er*. Mr, Pb!?i>ektox concludes
tia speech with an eluqu< nt appeal to aup*
*ort and ttph-dd the Constitution ia Its
inilty. II- had bean showfr.g that the
la-.ieala would not ataud by it. and elosod
ils speech as follows: [Eos. ExTaararaB ]
In 18S1 they appealed to the patriotism
ii ine peiij'i', nna raised iminenM irmiw
? maintain th? Constitution sod the Union.
1365 they preferred to eootinue the war
ailier than make peace on the baeie of
nalnlatning the Constitution and Union.?
A | > planer, 7
And, to day, calling themselves, with ostentatious
hypocrisy, the Union party, they
would prefer to ri-cngaize the ind- p-ndenee
of the Confederate States, rather than reitore
the Union on the haais of the Oonatitulion.
[f.oud cheering.]
They have held an J abandoned every
theory of government end every political
opinion.
In the short space of one revolving moon
Was statesman, poet, fiddler and buffoon."
[Laughter, j
They proclaim loudly that the Constitution
does not exist either in theory or prac
tice in ten Slates of the Union ; and their
most trusted snd able leader, in the fullii?mi
of his contempt for that instrument and for
the few Republicans who are willing to
obey it, declares in his own elioiee lan.
gnege that " some fragmsnts o.f the old and
broken Constitution stb.-k in their gizzards
nud trouble them of uighta." [Laughter.J
Gentlemen, this is the charge we have
always Tliey do not understand
what it is to stand by the Constitution; and
It is for this very reason, as we assert, that
they base clothed oor laud in the mourning
of civil war, destroyed our form of govss-nineut,
broken down the guarantees of lib.
erty. and loaded us with this enormous
burden of debt and taxation.
And yet, my friend*, standing before yon
to-iright, believing that I love my country
more than I love my party ; that I would
be willing to sacrifice for ita interest every
oprnrfon, and pr./ndice and sentiment that
I might have; I ean only say to you again,
as I ssld before, stand by the Constitution.
[L?nd cheers J It is the present remedy
for alf our Wrongs, ft is the panacea for
all the ills under wbioh we labor. Stand
