2 Great Musical Congress at thcCrysial Pa
ice Scenes and Incident The Late Mr. Hoi-
ford, the Wealthy London Banker Silas E.
Burrows. '
New York, June 20th.
In the loose or open spaces of anj large city,
it is not unusual to witness vast assemblages
of people brought together on the occasion of
public festivals j or civic celebrations. In a
forgo city, moreover, the population individu
ally i$ diversified, and separated by classes,
elans, and private interests and associations,
but whenever the opportunity is afforded, the
centripetal-tendency to collect in masses is
apparent.' ' Barnum, the Napoleon of show
men, possesses the talent of marshalling the
heterogeneous elements of a city population,
and collecting them together. The multitude
at the Crystal Palace on Thursday evening
last could not have numbered less than thirty
thousand. Some have estimated it as high ac
forty , thousand. The entire eastern nave was
appropriated to the largest orchestra ever as
sembled in this country, numbering one thous
and voices and five hundred instruments.
The orchestra tier rose upwards and backwards
to the height of seventy feet from the floor,
and was filled with the musical corps, the alto
being on the right, the soprano on the left, the
base and tenor above, and the large collection
oi instruments, ophcleides, kettle drums, cor
nets a'piaton, and all, being in the centre. The
multitude were seated on chairs in the West,
North, and South naves, and in the front ranks
of the upper galleries, while thousands were
standing behind them and about them. A
great many were dispersed throughout the
'building, wandering here and there, others
ought the fresh air of the outer balconies, and
others still retreated to the refreshment saloon.
Boxes, tubs, spare benches, and anything that
would add a cubit to the stature, or furnish a
temporary foothold, were all eagerly sought
after and put into use. Many of these sup
ports were too frail to bear the burdens impo
eed upon them, and after a while came down
without injury, but bringing their occupants to
a dt ad level with the outside herd of gazers
and listeners. The solos were too feeble for
the immensity of space, the height of the
dome, the innumerable and far-retreating re
verses of the building. But when the choruses
were given with the united power of the full
orchestra, every obstacle was overcome, and
the rushing tide of melody streamed forth
with irresistible power, penetrating every
where, filling every nook and corner of the
temple, overflowing into the adjacent avenues,
and holding all auditors spell bound under the
mighty charm, ouch were the enects prouu
ced by the two choruses, "Hatlelvjah," and
"Worthy is the Lamb" from Handel's oratorio
of the Messiah, and "The JItaoens are telling,"
from Haydn's oratorio,, of the Creation. The
gymphtniep, especially the one in ('. Minor,
were full of sweetness and beauty, but lacked
demonstrative power and fulness. The over
tures, such as the one from William Tell, were
effective, and the prayer from "Most in Eyito,"
was impressive and solemn. But the most
dramatic piece was Jullien's Firemen's Qua
drille at the end of part second. This was a
theatrical composition illustrative of the ex
citement and alarm Incident to a fire in a city,
the tolling of bells, the rush of engines, the
rattling of wheels, the roar of the devouring
element, the ardor, the peril, and the final tri
umph both of the firemen and of Mons. Jultien
himself, who, after it was over, was called out,
and made an address, half English half French ,
amidst the applause of the crowd.
The best point of view of this grand spectacle,
was from the height of the Orchestra, which
commanded a broad sweep over the immense
multitude beneath and around. It seemed like
a vast assemblage of worshippers pronouncing
their orisons and pealing their anthems in some
consecrated ball of eternity. Such is the sanc
tity of a still and mighty crowd, an impression
not perceptible when such a crowd is in motion.
But in roving around and looking about, moie
sensuous and tangible conclusions were realised.
Loving couples breathed their warm vows of
affection before some classic picture or statue,
or exchanged admiration over some inimitable
specimen of art. Two tender lovers were re
clining on the front seat of one of the splendid
carriages on show. What was Barnum or Ju
lien, and the world of music, to them ? The
music of their own voices, and the melody of
their hearts, were far dearer. They were launch
ing out into those charming sentiments in which
distance lends enchantment to the view, and
view will be sure never return it, but all that
they seemed to require was, the full purse and
to own the carriage they occupied, to go forth
on the realization of their hopes and desires.
Near by them was a machine for making
matches, (Lucifer matches,) and who knows but
what this might not have been one r btranger
things have happened in the world, for of al
people lovers are most deluded, and have most
to learn.
.,. The strength of the Crystal Palace was on
this occasion thoroughly tested. Light and airy
as the structure is, and almost fairy like in ap
pearance, it is nevertheless exceedingly stroncr.
The upper flooring and galleries, resting upon a
complicated succession of arches, they become I
niruuger mv greater iuc weigm juipuneu upuu
them. The entertainment was protracted until
11 o'clock, and as all the conveyances were not
adequate to accommodate the world and his
wife, many twinkling little trotters that came
there in a 'bus or a car, had to foot it home, and
a long pull at that. The concerts will be re
peated every night for a week.
The readers of the Register may have noticed,
perhaps, a rumor in circulation that the late Mr.
Holford, the wealthy banker of London, had be
queathed hia immense fortune of more than
twenty millions of dollars to the Prince of
Wales. There was no foundation for this ru
mor, nor for another that Mr. Holford had died
intestate. He was of the firm of Holford,
Branker & Co., and acquired his fortune by his
own exertions. In '33 he came to this country,
and established a cotton commission bouse in
Liverpool, and, making liberal advances on con
' aignments, lost heavily during the commercial
revulsions in '39 and '41. He purchased halt
million Texas ten per cent, bonds, which, as
they were subsequently scaled down, and con
tinue unpaid, will probably result in considera
ble loss.v Mr. Holford often visited this coun
try. He was a plain unostentatious man. Two
of his nephews are now in New York on a visit.
Like their late uncle, they too are plain and on
assuming in their manners. There were six or
even heirs only to this princely estate.
In a former letter, I mentioned that Silas E.
Burrows had taken time by the forelock, and
had equipped a trading vessel for Japan from
San Francisco. As the trade is not yet opened,
this step is premature and may prove prejudic
ial. It is to be hoped that Com. Perry may ar
rest Mr. Burrows or his contemplated voyage ;
or that the Japanese may reject his officious
offers. Mr. Borrows is not plain, but pompoua
and gaseous. Twenty years ago, he was a mer
chant in this city, and as one of his ships as
sisted a Russian crew in distress, the Caar
granted him the privilege of ending three ship
loads of nrcliandu to Su Petersburg fre of
duty. The next move of Mr. Burrows was to
parade Washington's small clothes and spars
in :New York, and to start a subscription to
erect a monument to the mother of Washing
ton; The next move was to take all the credit,
if be could, of Mr. Grinnell's Arctic Expedition.
Having run out here, the next move was a re
move to San Francisco, and the last move is to
appropriate some of the glory of Commodore
Perry's Expedition. A great many men mis
take notoriety for fame. ; C. M.
CONGRESS.
In the Senate, on yesterday, a bill to improve
the naval service of the United States was or
dered to be engrossed for a third reading. This
bill being of general interest, it is published at
large under the Congressional head. The Presi
dent's veto of the indigent insane bill was fur
ther; discussed by Mr. Seward,, who delivered
an argument in opposition to the views of the
President. The bill to change the time for the
meeting of Congress to the first Monday in Oc
tober received a partial consideration, and was
then' postponed till to-day.
In the Housf of Representatives nearly two
hours were spent in personal explanations. Mr.
Ohurchwell, of Tennessee, replied to that por
tion of Senator Bell's speech which had refer
ence: to himself, and Mr. Campbell, of Ohio,
called in question the correctness of some of the
statements contained in Mr.Churchwell's speech
on the Nebraska question, which led to quite
an exciting and amusing discussion, in the
course of which other gentlemen were called up
to state their impressions of the facts at issue.
We shall avail ourselves of the first opportuni
ty to publish this debate at length, as an epitome
of it might not do full justice to the parties con
cerned. A bill was reported from the Committee of
Ways and Means to reduce the duty on imports;
and a minority of the same committee submitted
a report dissenting from the views of tlie major
ity and proposing a substitute for the bill.
A bill was passed, after considerable opposi
tion, fixing the first Monday in November as
the day for the annual meeting of Congress. The
vote on this bill was very close, being 81 to 77.
It has yet to pass the Senate. Int. Tuesday.

Senate. The journal of yesterday's pro
ceedings was read, when
Mr. James, from the Committee on Patents,
reported a bill for the purpose of amending
the Patent Laws.
Mr Hunter moved to reconsider the engross
ment of the Naval Reform bill in order to amend
it so as not to create a new bureau in the Na
vy Department, and to make only one retired
list instead of two.
Mr. Mai lory made a speech opposing Mr
Hunter's motion, and defending the bill as it
now stands engrossed.
The reconsideration was agreed to and the
bill postponed.
Mr. Seward gave notice that he would intro
duce a bill to regulate navigation to the coast
of Africa in American vessels, prohibiting all
such navigation and Commerce to Cuba, Porto
Rico and Africa.
The Veto message was resumed.
IIousx of Representatives. After reading
the journal of yesterday's proceedings,
Mr. i5ennett s land bill was taken up, and on

Minnesota for the construction of Railroads, and
the question was then taken pa its rejection.
the bill was not rejected, i
Mr. Churchweil here rose to make a personal
explanation. j
Many objections were made.
Amid loud cries of order, Mr. Churchweil
said his colleague, Mr. Cullom, made a charge in
the report ot his speech in this morning's Globe,
which he did not make in the debate yesterday,
and which was false. Loud cries for order.
order.
Mr Cullom here leaped oyer the desk which
separated him from Mr. Churchweil, rushed
towards him and was immediately seized by
surrounding members, and while they were
holding him, made violent efforts to get free,
shaking his fist at Churchweil, exclaiming
you're a liar 1 damned liar j I damned scoun
drel! I Great confusion ensued.
The Sergeant at-Arms went with the Mace
toward Air. onurcnweli, but it was sometime
before order could be restored. . Mr. Church
well drew a pistol and cocked it. The question
was taken on the motion to commit the bill.
the- reader will recollect a gratuitous
attack on the .National Intelligencer and its
conductors by Mr. T. L. Clingman, a member
from Worth Carolina, in the course of a speech
which he delivered some two or three months
ago, in the House of Representatives, on the
Nebraska bill. We could not but hear, at the
time, of this "wanton assault- indeed a friend
had the kindness to send us a printed copy of
the speech with the calumnious passage point
ed out by black lines and we read it, we con
fess, with no little surprise ; for, unless never
having deemed the honorable, member's zig-zag
course of consequence enough for any notice
was an offence, we had done nothing to offend
him ; we had in no way crossed his extrava
gant aspirations or -said any thing even to
wound his self-esteem. On reading his gross
attack we acknowledge that we felt a momenta
ry impulse to repel the assault and to inflict a
suitable rebuke on the assailant ; but we recol
lected the rule which we received in youth,
with our first gun, never to shoot what was not
worth bagging ; we therefore abstained, and
Should have continued to abstain from any no
tice of our honorable vilifier the worst pun
ishment perhaps we could have inflicted on
him had we not, in publishing the speech of
Mr. Taylor, necessarily brought to notice in our
columns the insulting imputations of the mem
ber from North Carolina. Our only answer
now is, that we plead to the jurisdiction. We
took trie trouble, as our readers will remember,
to reply to an allegation which the honorable
Mr. Stephens incautiously made in the House
on the consistency of the National Intelligencer,
in which we must have satisfied that srentle-
man himself of his error ; but this was a mark of
respect which we cannot pay to every assail
ant, however high the position from which he
may happen to have the power of making his
assault. We might easily dispatch the charges
of the member from .North Carolina by reply
ing, first, that what he says about aristocracy,
liberty, and despotism, is nonsense, and, second
ly, that in the entire coarse of the Intelligen
cer in regard to foreign questions, up to the
time when the member deserted the Whigs and
went over; to the Democrats, the Intelligencer
had the approval and support of the member
himselt ; but we forbear. JSat. Intelligencer.

CONGRESSIONAL RECESS.
A proposition has been made in Congress to
have a recess from -July to October. Thechan
ces are that it will be done. It- has been deci
ded that the per diem of members will be paid
during the recess and it is not to be expected
that they will lose an opportunity of getting
well paid for doing nothing.
Congress has been n session about seven
months. Within this time it has passed the
Nebraska Bill, which has been approved, and
the Insane Bill which has been vetoed. The
Senate has confirmed ihe Gadsden trenty and
the House has passed the Homestead BUI. One
or two other bills have been passed, making an
average of about One a month. As this is rath
er slow motion, we think it highly advisable to
top and let Congress collect its energies for
tne tau campaign. Kubbmg out and commen
cing afresh is very good policy sometimes and,
in addition, the renest will give members an op
portunity of patching up and repairing their
consciences, wnich we tear have been sadly lac
erated by the late exciting subject of Congres
sional action, the atmosphere of Washington
is not considered to be very favorable to the
health of political invalids and the sooner some
of them go home and make peace (if they can)
with their constituents the better. Kick. Mail.
The Democratic papers are hard pushed
in the present contest, and in their desperation
"catch at straws" to keep themselves from sink
ing. As evidence, of this, they are endeavoring
to make capital out of the fact that Gen. Docke
ry addressed the people of Halifax county in
the town of Halifax on the 5th. inst., instead of
Weldon, as bad been published in the capers
a free negro having been hung at Halifax on
that day. The Metropolitan claims the credit
of having first brought the startling fact to light,
as if it thought the success of the Democratic
party would be secured by it ; and the whole
tribe of Democratic editors, from the Standard
down, have seized hold of it with the same avidi
ty that hungry dogs would seize a bone. It is
really amusing to read their articles on this sub
ject, varying as they do from the bitterest de
nunciation of Gen. Dockery to the most puerile
attempts at wit. One says that the State has
been dishonored that propriety and public de
cency have been outraged ; another expresses
the hope that free negro hangings will not be
got up expressly for such purposes in the future,
&c, &c. The disingenuousness the dishones
ty of these attacks will appear from a simple
statement of the facte. They are as follows :
Gen. Dockery made his appointment to speak
at Weldon on the 5th, and it was so published
in the Recorder and other papers. Some friends
in that section of the State, knowing that a large
number ot people would be assembled at Halifax
on that day, toox tne lioerty ot changing the
place of speaking from Weldon to that town,
and about the 3d inst., as we learn by an article
from the Halifax Republican copied into the
Standard, placarded a notice, in large letters,
calling on the citizens of the county "to attend
and hear "the old Kichmond farmer in Hali
fax on the 5th." When Gen. Dockery reached
Weldon, and found that his friends had made
this change of place it being but a few minutes
distant on the Rail Road he repaired thither
and fulfilled the appointment. What else could
he have done f No doubt the Democratic edi
tors would have been pleased if the General had
concluded not to speak to the people of Halifax
lme ; but if he should seek to please
them in any particular, he would find it la
bor lost, and he has too good judgment to at
tempt it. As the change, however, had been
mado without consulting General Dockery, he
was not at all responsible for it, and the
censures which the Democratic papers endeavor
to heap upon him must fall upon the citizens
of Halifax. They attended at Halifax, and
Gen. Dockery, by : the appointment of his
friends, addressed, in the Court House, such of
the citizens as preferred hearing him to wit
nessing the execution. When the "solemn
tolling of the bell," as described. in the Re
publican, announced that the execution was
about to take place at the gallows, we have the
authority of that Democratic print for saying
none tnil Whigs remained in the Court Houe
to hear Gen. Dockery conclude his speech. IICw
creditable this may be to the party who make
the outcry against Gen. Dockery, we leave for
the moral sense of the community to determine.
Hillsboro Recorder.
In their Last Agonies. If any doubt has
heretofore been entertained by the numerous
friends of Gen. Alfred Dockery, of bis success
as the; Whig candidate for Governor of North
Carolina, they may now reBt satisfied that his
triumph is placed beyond a doubt. The writh
ings and twistings of the Locos give evidence
that they are about to give up the ghost! Find
ing that all their malicious shafts have fallen
harmless at the feet of the impregnable Whig
standard bearear, they seem determined to die
hard. : iheir last charge against the General
is,
that he voted, while in the State Senate, to
xpel a member who presented a forged certifi
cate of election. ' The circumstances are these :
During the session of 1844-'45. a Mr. Emmett,
who had been elected Senator from the county
of Onslow, presented a certificate of election
with the Sheriff's name forged thereon. He
was expelled and the election sent back to the
people, when the Locofoco party, (who first
elected him,) re-elected him, and when he
re-appeared in the Senate, a motion was made
that he be refused his seat, on which Gen. Dock
ery voted aye. That Gen. Dockery should de
test forgery, as he does every species of crime
and vice, is not news to his friends : but
that such an objection as the above should be
urged against bim, and that too by the Raleigh
Standard, the great central bead of the Bragg
fuglemen, will take at least some of the moral
members of the party by surprise.
American Beacon.
The Mad Stone i It does seem a little
strange, says the Richmond Penny Post, that
people north and south, feast and West, should
die like dogs with hydrophobia when Virginia
has an infallible remedy with which it may be
cured. There are three mad-stones in this
State: One in this city, one in Goochland, and
the other in Caroline. 1 he writer of this is a
firm believer in the healing properties of the
mad-stone. We know of two instances of per
sons in our native county of Hanover, who
were bitted by rabid dogs, and effectually cured
by the timely application of the mad stone.
1 be present delegate from lianover and the
newly , elected bbena of the same county are
familiar with the cases. We feel -authorized
to ask the Rev. Andrew Broadup. of Caroline,
and indeed any other gentleman of that oounty
who is at all laminar with the virtues of
"Sales" mad-stone, if we are not correct ; an
answer is desired.
As regards snake bites, we see the Northern
papers filled with accounts of alcohol as a rem
edy. They are right. We saw a gentleman
bitten by a rattlesn ike at Capon Springs some
two years ago. He drank, by advice, in thirty
minutes, a quart and half pint of Henoesy's
old London Dock' Brandy did not get drunk
in the slightest degree, and was a well man.

The Mistake that Mr. Twomblkv Made.
Twombley had drank but six glasses of brandy
and water, when, being a man of discretion, he
returned home at the seasonable hour of 1 A
M., and went soberly to bed. Mrs. Thomas
Twombley was too well accustomed to the com
ings and goings of said Thomas, to be much
disturbed by the trifling noise he made on retir
ing, but when she discovered that he had his
boots on, she requested him to remove them, or
keep his feet out of the bed.
"My dear,' said Mr. 1 wombley in an apolo
getic tone, ' skuse me ! How I came to forget
my boots, 1 can't conceive, for 1 m just as so
ber as ever 1 was in my life."
Mr. 1 wombley sat on the side of the bed, and
made an effort to pull off his right boot. The
attempt was successful, though it brought bim
to the floor. On regaining his feet, Mr. Twom
bley thought he saw the door open. As he
was sure he shut the door on coming in, he was
astonished ; and dark as it was in the room, he
could'nt be mistaken, he felt certain. Mr
Twombley staggered towards the door to shut
it, when, to his still greater surprise, he saw a
figure approaching from beyond. Twombley
stopped ; the Ifigure stopped. Twombley ad
vanced again ; the figure did the same. Twom
bley: raised his right hand ; the figure raised
his left. "Who's there ?" roared Twombley,
beginning to he frightened. The figure made
no reply, x wombley raised bis boot in a
menacing attitude ; the figure defied him by
shaking a similar obiect.
Cried Twombley, "I'll find out whd you be,
you sneak 1" He hurled the boot full at the
head of the mysterious obiect, when crash 1
went the big looking glass which Twombley
bad mistaken tor the door. iV. V. Picayune.

"ORI0INAX LOVE STORY" CONTINUED."
And gently beamed over them lore's rOBe-rotored r&y,
(The bridegroom and bride of this ballad,)
He said, "1st Us walk at the ctoa-. of the day,
My own lovely Sail" so they sallied.
He plucked her the sweetest and loveliest Sower
That scented the path where they wandered,
And when she exclaimed, "Let us turn from this bower
And roam near the pond" then they pondered.
And when the glad sun hid his radiant light, '
And the frogs a "a good evening" had croaked,
Said the bride "As the moon is just peeping in sight,
We'll walk round the slope" and they sloped.
Old time softly paused o'er the home of this pair,
Nor grief or perplexity daunted, .
And when the meek husband asked "What shall I wear?"
She answcfld, "plaid pants" and he panted!
So, like a good wife, was his wardrobe her cafe,
(Neglecting it seemed to her wicked,)
And when e broncht linen, so shining and fair,
Saying "wear this dear Dick" then he dickied I
And when a bright bud of divinity came
To gladden the home where it tarried,
They put to a vote that the young stranger's name
"Sweet Carrie" should be and 'twas carried.

Town Property for Sale !
THE Subscriber wishes to sell his house and
lot in the town of Louisburg, formerly owned by
Samuel Johnson, Esq., containing about two acres
of ground. 1 he improvements consist of a comfort
able dwelling house, kitchen, smoke house, stables
&c. A more minute description is deemed unnec
essary, as no one will buy without first viewing
the premises.
Louisburg is a, healthy village, and is noted for
its excellent Male and Female Schools, which are
progressing to higher improvement. It also has
several good churches, which would seem clearly
to indicate that the society of the place is excel
lent. And it is, besides, surrounded by a country
abundant in all the provisions, necessary for good
living.
The above named property will be shown to any
person wishing to examine it, by my brother, Jno.
H. Brodie, or by Bev Mr. Keid, who o ;cupies it
at this time. . The price is very reasonable, con
sidering the advanced alue of property of all
kinds ; and the payment will be made easy and
accommodating to the purchaser.
