Circular to the Exhibitors of the crystal Palace

- e

Till undersigned joyfully announce to the Ex- hibitors and the public, that the formidable obstacles which threatened the complete discointiture and destruction of the noble enterpriae which they have chosen to serve, are at lea th removed, in good rt through the liborality o a rtion of our fol ow citizens who have pl a vances in aid of t a Exhibition to the amount of 3100.000. Thus aided, we have been enabled to dissolve the injunction which vraaa source of embarrassment to us, and alarm or apprehension to many of our Exhibiters—to pay offer arrange all the debts pressing upon ua,and provide against the possible occurrence of auc annoyances in uture. We therefore apprise you that the Exhibition will be temporarily c 's evening, in c or to corn letely renovated and refitted, preparatory to its formal re-opening, on Thursday the 4th do of May next.

The directors as not, surely, dilate on the value and importance of this Exhibition. Imperfect as it has hitherto been, and as, in view of the total want of experience on our aide of the Atlantic in the orrangemeut ofExhibitioua of such magnitude and variety, it could not fail to be, it has yet provided immensely beneficial to the Inventive views, Artistic developments, and Industrial p on of the countr . The opportunity therein afforded or bringing valuah e Inventions or Improvements to the immediate notice of the capable and appreciating, is but one among many benefits conferred on the leaders of industrial enterprise amon as. If overweening conceit or inordinate self complacency has been rebuked and cliastened by irresistible evidences of European superiority in elaborate and delicate vvorkiiiiinship, or even in e ucated, retiiicd taste, the lixliibitioii of I858 has fully deiiioiistruted the iiidebtediiesa of Europe to America for very important lnveiitiona and Improvements, stretching ver the whole domain ofAgriculture, Manufactures and the useful Arte. In farming implements, and iiiiichiiiee for fitting the rude staples of Agriculture, for the con- venient and economic use of ilie fiibricatioii, our country need four no comparison; and a Nation of twenty-five Millions which while still arduoualy employed in the clearing away of its primitive forests, has found time in half a century to bestow on mankind such inventions as those 0 the Cotton Gin, the Steamboat, the Reaper and the Electric Telegraph, need surely neither repress nor concea her anxiety to profit by al in the line ofdiscovery, Art or Invention, which has been or may be exhibited by others. If the New York Exhibition has shown our peo le how to improve any implement or process in the light of European achievement, that impulse is a National benefit of signal and even increasing value.

If the past has witnessed inistakee in the conduct ofthe great enterprise uow confided to our hands, that circuniatauce will render our own lusk easier and our success more probable. Ifit has evolved many valuable suggestions and illuminated for us the path of duty by triuiiipha as well its defeats, we shall be able to walk surely where our predecessors stepped doubtfully and anxiously. iti your co- operation, and that of the coming Fultoiis, \Vliitiieya and Morses, whoae triumphs are yet unacliieved or unacknowledged, we hope to render the Crystal Palace the recognised centre of attraction for the votariea of Industry, the devotees of Art and the admirera ofGeniua, throughout the Western World.

To effect this, we need the hearty and immediate co-operation of the present Exhibitors, both through the continuance of their best contributions. and the introduction of others. as new inventions, new patterns, new successes, shall render such further aid practicable. VVliile we trust that the I-Exhibition is henceforth permanently established, and that before many more years Illllll have clup.-ted, speci- mens or models of ever valuable Invention, eminent works ,of Art, improv Fabrics, or other Industrial achievement, will be exhibited in the l’iiliice, as it matter of course, we shall yet remember with special gratitude, those friends of the enterprise who did not wait for its triniiiph, etc by it in the days of experiment, and uobly aded to aichicve the conquest which so many are destined to enjoy. We shall be able, and we rejoice in the fact, to accord more desirable positions and ample space to new Articles which shall be sent in between this and the hit. of i ' robable that we shall have at our- diapoaul thersa er, The earliest possible nttpnd mission of all Articles intended for Exhibition , rain after the re-opening, is urgently solicited.

Trusting that you will agree with us, that th interest of Inventors, Artists. Manufacturers and Artisans, are all involved in the thorough and undeniable trium h of the first AlIIt9I'ICt|lI lliliiliiiioii of ilie trophies o the World's Art and liiilastry, we remain,

GLEAXIIGS F301 LATE PAPERS.

WRECK OF THE POWHATTAN. The Powhattan, a. Baltimore ship, about 15 cars old, left Havre for New York on the lat of arch, the passengers and crew together number- ing about 250. A fearful storm raged on the eastern coast of North America from Good -Fii- day to Easter Monday. On the morning of Easter day Capt. Jennings, who is stationed as a wreck-master on the beach, observed the Pow- hattaii on the shoals about 12 miles below Barnegat Inlet. She was scarcely 100 yards from the shore but it was impossible for any of her passengers to leave without certain death. 'I‘lie deck was crowded with passengers, the wind blowing a prefect gale from the N. N. E., and the waves ran mountains high, twisting the ship about in the sand aaif she were merelya cock boat. Capt.Jcnninge sent to the Govern- ment station-house, about six miles elf, forthe life-car, and other wrecking apparatus. When the surf ran out,he was able to get within 75 yards ofthe vessel. People were every now and then swept overboard, and the captain (Myers) hailed the wreckmaster through a speaking trumpet, and implored him to try and save those who were washed ashore; Capt. Jennings answered that he found they were all drowned before they got half way to the beach. The wreck-master states that he never saw auohs high running sea. Capt. Myers asked if any aid would soon reach them ; the wreck-master replied that he hoped so. as he liiid sent olfto the station. Ilour after lioiir slipped by, but the men did not return wit t e ie-car. The vessel became more uneasy, and many unfurtuiiate people were swept oh‘ by the heavy surf. About5o‘c|oclt p.m. ilie ship healed over to win-lward from the bore The see then of course made a clean breach over her, and passengers began to be washed ofl" in great numbers. The sea running mountains high, and completely hiding the vessel from view, the wreck-master could no longrr old any communication with the captain, and never saw him again. About dark the sea rose to a great height, and one large wave, full 50 feet high, struck the vessel, IFIII in one moment the hull was scattered into fragments, which tossed wildly through the surf. 'l'he slirieka of the drowning creatures were melancholy indeed. In a few moments all disappeared beneath the surface of the water, except a few fragments of the wrec . Nothing remained to mark the spot where the ill-fated ship had gone ashore except surging waves beating upon a fragment ofthe hull which lay upon the beach. All had sunk- captein, oflicers, crew, and passengers: of 250 persons not a soul was left to tell the tale. No aid came from the Government house that night, and Capt. Jennings was compelled to remain there by himself—-a lonely watcher of the dead. On Monday morning four men arrived from the station-house, but their help came too late. The storm, it seems, was so severe that while on their way back to the wreck on Sunday, with the life- car and mortar, two of them fell down exhausted, and the whole part were obliged to return nearly frozen to death. 'I his party of men, under com- mand of Capt. Jennings, set immediately about finding and gathering together these bodies that had been washed ashore. In the short space of an hour nearly 20 women and children were found, almost naked,ecattered along the beach, some oftlietii dreadfully bruised an no man was found about 50 yards from the beach, upon the sandliills, with xi child in his arms; and it is supposed that he alone of all on board reached the shore alive, and, crawling out of reach of the waves, in order to save his own life and that of the infant in liia arms, he fell down exhausted on the sand. and was frozen to death during the night. The child was liriuly locked in his arms, quite dead, and appeared as ifit had also died ashore from exposure. On the following Wednes- day 28 of the bodies were buried in the village of Manahawliin, near the remains ofa number of persons wrecked in the Auburn many years ago. By Friday 140 bodies had been washed ashore, some so hruiscd that they cotild not be recognized. About 40 bodies had ilriftrd ashore. supposed to be from this “tech, iiwirly ‘)0 miles IM.'IlI\V.

He spoke one named the Diri- po, of Glasgow. whose captain informed him that ho had a number of the passengers ofthe burning ship on board, and requested him to lay by him till «liiylight, and relieve him of some of them, wliicli he did. At ay break he received on board fifty-four persons, vir.., thirty-five men, five womcii. and four seamen. From them he learned that the vessel which had been burnt was the Black Hawk, from Liverpool to New York. to which port she belonged, with 860 pas- scngera on board. She had been dismasted in a heavy gale on the 17th April, and subsequently became so leaky that it was resolved to abandon her : and several vessels having have in sight, all the crew and passengers left her. She was then set on fire, to prevent her doing damage to other ships. One of the vessele—tho Catherine, from Pool for Qubec, which rescued I28 passengers,
