The second day of May, I853, will be as memorable for America, as was May the first, 1853!, for Europe and the world. For this enterprise we have long pre- dicted the meet certain success. _

We have inuch pleasure to announce, from the facts now brought to public notice by the enterprising Board of Directors—-into whose hands, by the company of the New York Crystal. Palace has been judiciously placed, the management of the concern, the positive certainty ---as far as anything human can be certain--that this Exhibition will be magnificently carried out. Under the mist auspicious generosity ol'a State charter, and city aid, pll the necessary funds have long since been subscribed and paid up, the plan has been decided on, and hgfftiine these sheets meet the eyes of our read- erg, t u uilding itsclfwill have been begun. As Ame-

ricans wear-o proud of this enterprise, and as Americans we will endow it with. the rich and varied ,products of our magnificent domain. _

The New York Crystal Palace will be the, finest architectural speci_mcn, as it will be the largest building —-with pei-liaps the exception of the Capitol-—in Ame- rice, and will very favorably compare with the most elegant structures of Europe. Without being so impo-

‘ sing or so large as its London prototype, wlioevcr will see the Crystal Palace when finished in New York, who has already seen that of London, will undoubted- ly, as a thing ofbcauty, whcreon the eye can rest with iintired delight, so prefer the Palace of the New world to that of Europe.

The succesful competitors, Messrs. Carstcnsen 8L Gildmeister. are architects of this city, but with Euro- pean fame. The plan of the hiiilding is it Greek Cross with a Dome over the Intersection. Each diameter of the Cross is 365 feet long and 149 feet broad. The height of the domd is I30 feet. The building will be of iron and glass, and cost $2l)i),000.

Already have European nations expressed their in- tention of sending their products of invention, of minu- facture and of art. In the progress ofinvcntion, manu- facture aiid art in America, there exists great jealousy on the part of Europe, and we doubt not, but she will do her best to silence our pretensions in this respect. And the excuse will now be wanting to America, which was offered by her in London, that she had no such special interest as to induce her to put forth sufficient energy to show her vast productions and true capabilities,-—

A lull has taken place in the politics of the British Islands. Parliament will not meet until the llth of November, when a short session will be held, to which the Christmas Holidays will put an end. and the Iluuueu will then stand adjourned until the beginning of I"ebriiury—the ordinary time for the inertial Of the Legislative Chambers.

It is also assumed. that he in- tends abolishing the Malt t.:ix,—i measure thlt would at once give relief to the Agricultural interest. and be palateable to the people at large. It is even asserted that the new Chancellor, who is the man of tho Plesent Cabinet, intends to follow the example of the late Sir Robert Peel. and strike for popularity by going further than the Whig! in the matter of el-irm. “ No Statesman,” said Mr. Disraeli. in his address to the electors of Bucks, " can disregard the spirit of the epoch in t\‘lIlclt he lives.” Dame rumour uth it. that discussions on those questions has already produced angry feelings in the Ministry.

harvest has proved broken, uhowury, and un avouriible. The month of July having provedvery favourable to the growth of the crops, anticipation: of an abundant harvest were very freely indulg- ed in, which in the present state of the weather, will not be rea- lized. Of the existence of mildew and blight in the wheat crop titers is not the smallest doubt, and in some of the southern coun- ties the mischief will be considerable. In all those districts, the yield of wliezit will be much less than was anticipated from the ap- pearance of the crop in the early prirt of the season. It is expected that the wheat crop this your will fall far short of an average one. 'l‘lie crops in the north of England are by no iiiellns so much af- fected by disease as those in the southern counties. the weather having been much more favourable for farming purposes. The barley and out crops are not affected by disease. and are both ex acted to yield large quantities, though the quality ofthe barley wil be much coarser t inn last year. llopu are good in all the hop-growing coun- ties, and turnips, clover seeds. and after-grau are every where most abundant. In the county of Uurhrim, and, indeed, in till the northern counties. there is a great scarcity of labourers, and the price of labour is. in consequence. ndviinced. The disease in the potato crop is not expected to prevail to such an extent as was at first anticipated. _ IRELAND.

The harvest is in general carried on with spirit, though there is a great paucity of rezipers in the southern counties, where scythe: li:ivc in many in- stances had to be used to cut down the crops. ‘ wheat crop turns out a good deal better than iinticipnted. both in quantity and quality, the accounts of disease in that crop being very few. The out crop is expected to exceed coiisiilerubly, any crop of that kind for several years past. The flux crop is also stated to have proved a very roriinnerating uric.

A fall in the price of wheat has been the consequence in those districts where this fact has been ascertained.
