To be eung at thdReAnaugurationof.the Cryttel Palace, New 1851. BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLAtB.

hp the transitory darkness From" our Palace floats away Lo I the glorious gem of Genius Glitters in the rising day. See again the mighty nations Meet and clasp each other's palms, And by Labor'sglowing altar Lilt on high according psalms. Here behold the true Evangel! Not from War may Earth God has stamped his shining patent Only oh the brow of Peace. Only by the arm of Labor, Swinging to invention's chime, Can the Nations build their Eden In the wilderness of Time. Nations I hear that mighty music Rolling through the mountain bars Planting deserts, bridging oceans, Marrying tiwchoral stars Telling that our Crystal Palace Giorifies the joyous sod Making Man, with Art and Nature, Worthy ol fhe builder God I Nations 1 then rejoice that darkness From our Palace floats away, And the glowing gems of Genius Glitter in the light of day I Some outrageous wag publishes tho following as his PRIZE ode.

BY WOOLY HOSS WALIIUS. Lo! the monetary darkness From our Palace floats away; Lo the glorious brain of Barnum Promises to make it pay. See again the glad stockholders Meet and rub their itching palms, And in Barnum's glowing programme Kead the high faiuting dams. Here behold the great Barnumbo Aye, with him the profits come; He who coined the shining dollars From theplay oflincleTotn. t)nly by the mind of Barnum, Throbbing with assured success, Can the 'holders build their palaco In great Gotham's wilderness.

On the next verse I have spread myself Nations, hear that mighty music, Boiling round like mountain bears Bridging deserts, planting oceans, Marrying all the stars in pairs; Telling that the Crystal Palace Gloiifies New Yorkers' pride, Telling alt the towns "provincial," Their diminished heads to hide. Knickerbockers! Oh, be joyfuli For our palace now will pay, Now that Barnum's mighty noddle Has assumed tne guiding sway. Detruction'by Fiee of St. Paul's Church. This noble old edifice, which has so long orna mented the southeast corner ot Charles and Saratoga streets, was destroyed by lire on last Saturday morning about half past one o'clock, and now ia its place, stands nothing but the smonld ing ruius of that once beautiful and sacred building.

Toe fire which caused this calamity broke out behind the organ, and the flames, impelled by a strong northwest wind, spread with such rapidity that all the interior of the church was consumed, including the organ, which was valued at 55,000. The firemen notwithstanding the inclement weather and the.latenes? of the were promptly on the ground, but owing to the scarcity ol water, and the impossibility of forcing it Irom the plugs in the lower streets; they could only succeed in confining the flames to the edifice in which they originated. The exertions of the firemen were also impeded by the thick zinc roof, under which the destructive element blazed and raged whilst the engineers were unable to reach the flames from outside, notwithstanding the most strenous exertions were made towards the attainment of that object. About four. o'clock' the fine deep toned bell or the church, which has so often summoned church goers to their prayers, fell with a tremendous crash, and lodged upon the arch below the steeple, where it remains, whilst the extent of damage sustained in its tone or structure remains as yet unknown.

This steeple being constructed of substantial masonary well the effects ot the flames, the front of the church also, and the two fine sculptured ornaments are only partly damaged. Respecting the origin of the tire various reports and rumors are in circulation one statement being to the effect that some incendiary had succeeded iu originating the fire but the general opinion is, that the flames were communicated from the flues used for warming the church, which were suffered to get overheated by accident during the night. The" only insurance effected upon the edifice, that we could learn, waB one policy for $20,000, issued from the Equitable office of our city. St. Paul's Church, which was one of the most adoiired architectural ornaments of our city, was consecrated in the year 1S1G, and was constructed upon the plan of its accomplished architect, It.

C. Long, at a cost of afiimoi Ledger. The London Daily JVetcs speaks very encouragingly the present state of Ireland. The JVews says "Extreme care is shown in the purchase of seed potatoes and hundreds of thousands of new acres are sown in addition to the great in crease of grain sowing. The prospects of the flax are uncommonly good and this is owing to the demand Irom the mills at aaau, apart Irom speculation about a short supply Irom abroad Belter than this, 'a renewed spirit of says tne Sligo Journal, 'seems to nave taken hold of the They mind their business all day, and talk over the news in the evening or on market aayB, line other people.

They see our soldi ers withdrawn, as the Canadians do, with the feeling that they had better go where they are wanted, and not waste their lime in a country where the people are too busy and too comfort able to make mischief, as they did in their days ot misery." Murder and Arson in Aroostook. The Ban gor Mercury gives the particulars of the murder of Samuel James, by a man named James Matt hews, in Aroostook, on Friday, April 21st. Matthews supposed that James had insulted a woman named White, and taking his gun, shot James in the road, killing him instantly. Matt hews was arrested, and, with the woman, taken to a hotel in Umcolens.

While preparations were making lor the examination, the girl White stole into the attic and lired the building, which was entirely destroyod. Both man and woman were committed to jaiL Matthews admits his guilt. Lady Bulwer has written another novel at heir, husband called "Behind the Scenes," in which the man who onns her figures as a Mr. Ferars, and is escribed as "a solid block of ed with villainy, veneered with virtue and highly varnished with hypocrisy." The congrogation of the E. D.

Reeve, Architect and 177 Schermerhorn street. For sale a number of Chorea Seats, at 117 Selisraerhorn mot. aUSlm pa6t a.large amount of amies coin has been put' in cttculationl.pt Utica, which was evidently set afloaby sameojiinlng person. Several uninccessfal attempts, were made to ferret it whole affair Was enveloped in mystery until last Saturday afternoon, when, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, tho police made a descent npon an old frame building on Third street, between Elizabeth and Mary, and not only seized $1,100 in bogus coin, but' caught three persons in the very act of coining it. The house in" which the party were arrested is an old lashioned double house, and occupied by tour families.

The party who made, the arrest were United States Marshal Mott and three policemen of Utica. The weather was quite stormy on that day, and there were bnt few persons stirring about in that section of the city, which enabled tho party to get into the houBe unobserved. A gentle tap was' 'given by one of the party on the door of a room in. the rear part of the building, tit not 'being promptly answered, and hearing a slight movement inside, with one blow the door was forced in aud was thrown upright against the mantel piece, when the officers rushed in and caught Mr. Voorhees, his wife and Dr.

Way, not only in the act qf manufacturing spurious coin, but found a large amount of it on the table, around which they were at work. The party been secured, a thorough search was made) which resulted in the finding $1,100 in spurious coin, consisting in xuc, lac, aaa part of which was ready for tfse, part in a rough state aud part not galvanized. They also found three dozeu sets plaster Paris moulds, a galvanizing apparatus, and ail the smaller tools necessary lor carrying on the counterfeit business. The party arc almost strangers in Utica, Voorhies came from Otsego about three weeks since, with his wife and two children, and located where he was arrested. Br.

Way came from the same place, and hits scarcely been in Utica a week. He is said to be a shrewd, cunning man well educated, and a good physician. He was indict: ed about two years ago, charged with passing bogus coin at the State Fair, and is now under bail for his appearance at Bocbester at the next session of the United States Conrt, to answer the indictment. Among, other articles found on the premises was a set of instruments which although not strictly surgical, are said to be used by female physicians ot Madame KeBtele's school which the doctor acknowledged belonged to him. He is a married man.

Owing to the absence of the United States Commissioner at Utica, the party was taken to thojears, conveyed to Troy, and locked up in the jail at that place. Albany Journal. XtteSTPted Burglary The Burglar Shot. Friday, two ladies, residing at No. 18 Beaver street, were startled by the sudden appearance of a man's head at the window of their sleeping apartments.

They inquired of him what he wanted, but he gave no reply, and forthwith commenced a retreat from the Bhed upon which he was, and over a fence. The ladies informed a young man, boarding at the house, named Bioomfield, of the occurrence, who took an old double barrelled musket, loaded it with shot and stationed himself in an upper story window overlooking the sheds and fences in the rear. Here he remained not over half an hoar when he observed the man returning over the fences. As the man came np, Bioomfield called out to him, inquiring what he wanted. The man stopped but made no reply.

Bioomfield fired the musket at him. The man then exclaimed in agony, "what are you about? You have shot me." Bioomfield replied, can't help it I've got another charge here for you, if you want it." But the man scrambled on. it is tnougnt tne man was shot, as traces of blood were afterwards found on the sheds and fences over which he Dassed in making his escape. It is not who the man was.

correspondents would henceforth address their letters, through the mail, to him, at "Owego, Ti oga xorK." The state of his health.necessitating the chance of residence; and the consequent rupture of many strong ties ot local ana social auection, as well as of general relationship, with no prospect at the age of three score of resuming tho pastoral office, he bids farewell to these scenes so familiar and so 'long endeared, with emotions at once se rious and tender. It ib now thirty four years more than one third of a century since his accession to pastoral duties in the city ot New York; where also his publio ministry commenced in lolb; ana just seventeen years since ne became the third pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Brooklyn: nor can he now retire frpm all these wonted and beloved localities, and all nis prized and numerous friends that occupy them, especially front the excellent, and the generous, and the thrice endeared people of his church and congregation, witnout this venturous expression of valediotory regards and kind memories; however unequal it might be, however singular, censurable possibly in the estimation of some. For many and innumerable acts of courtesy and christian Kindness, tor generous appreciation and frequent offices of good will and service, through bo long a course of years, and through so many vicissitudes ot lile, as well as ot publio ministra tions, he is much a dejbtor to thousands; and feels it at once a duty and a privilege thus pub licly to record a tribute of gratitude and cordial thanks for all their becincence, intentional and real. With all his admitted imperfections, mistakes, and proper faults, in those lengthened terms ot perilous and incessant service, and in all the various and the difficult relations involved, he would be suitably penetrated and bumble, be fore both God and man. When right indeed, he may have been thought wrong, by the ignorant, the ill iaformed, the prejudice or those whose position could not command a view of the whole ground Since who can the mlachlefi In total compute Which ol partial conceits ara the genuine fait! Still, to his friends and acquaintances especially, as well as to the Christian and secular public at large, he would Bay, that in the main, be has honestly endeavored to seek tne good of all meo the best welfare of the city of his residence, and tne true interests ol Ms loved, his native country according to his best knowledge and conviction.

For this consciousness, no consideration of earthly or created benefit, could be enured as a succedaneum. He has olteii teen it to be duty. to show apply the severer aspects of the truth of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, committed to his official trust but still with no malice, or personality, or intended offence. Sometimes hiB great plainness of speech and directness of appeal, as in the case of thousands of better "preachers, have resulted in aversion and obliqoy, as he regrets to know but the time may come, as the eternity must, when, in a truer and a better light, all these things bv all shall be completely understood, and the truth alone shall be triumphant. In the meantime, he retires with a heart full of kind and affectionate regards, that can de voutly pray the great and glorious God, to bless and keep all these populous metropolitan cen tres, and all the interest of this vast und won drous nation, in his holy and merciful favor, for the dear sake of Christ, our dvine.

Rusurban, Brooklyn, Jt Y. May 1, 1854. Note.

It seems proper to distinguish Owego especially from Oswego, much further north to say nothing of several namis of native origin analagous, as Otsego, Owasco, others with anO initial and terminal. Owego is situ ated in southwestern New York, near the Pennsylvania line, 22 miles west of the prosperous and the beautiful village of Binirhamtou not BingAampton and is itself beautiful and pros perous, as wen as rural ana salubrious to a proverb. Nature and art, the demonstrations human and divine, are lelicitously blended in its constitu tion. That noble achievement ot human science and enterprize, the New York and Erie Railroad; and that magnificent stream, translucent and stately, the far winding Susquehannah, great works respectively of God and of man, both run through Owego; the aboriginal name of which, more sonorous ana more majestic, is well reproduced and perpetuated, in the designation; of their chief Hotel, Aw wa ga House. In answer to some special inquiries, it seems proper to state, that board in that House, lor summer residents, can he procured, good, cheap, and satisfactory.

It is sited on Front street near the River, not lar from the Bridge oi nine arches; environed with rich and commanding scenery, uiuuubaiuuua guuu vaueguLeu, luviimg equally the pedestrian, the equestrian, and the wheel rolling jaunter, to explore, unfatigued, still exhilarated in any direction, the rides and drives, the elopes and the ravines, the wooded and the meadow surfaces ot the adjacent and the surrounding country such the enchanting and the ever changing vision of its gorgeous panorama its often alternating and diversified pictures of water and ol land its pure and balmy atmosphere its native but subdued wilduess; its romantic outline and impressive bold strokes; its interminable variety of prospect and ol view; its safety, its originality, its pleasantness; these especially as costumed in all the heaven made and health inspiring and praise provoking decorations of summer. Retirement or publicity, solitude or society, occupation or recreation, oan be there commanded and on the Lord's Day, "the sound of the church going bell" invites the people to worship the God of all their mercies. There are good and attractive accommodations for all the tribes oi Israel Presbyterian, Congregational, Methodist, Episcopal, Baptist; and lor those Samaritans or Moabites who fundamentally corrupt the gospel, and are the wholesale soul destroyers ot our large cities, there are mainly none of them in Owego, common as it is where Christ builds a Church, for the Devil to get up a cliapsl; as his perverse children, and the Reverend" infidels that govern and delude them, are mostly pious and painB taking in their own way, only "as an on opposition line;" only to avoid the truth and amuse away the minds ot men Irom its salutary influences. Acts. 13: 9 12, 45, 56.

Mat. 13: 19, 3643. II Tim: 13, 12.

Trial of Mnjor Wje. MajorWYBB was placed on this morning at Governor's Island. The charges are Disobedience of orders in tefnsing to lead his troops on board the steamer Falcon, as ordered by Gen. Scott on the 18th and conduct unbecoming and officer axd a gentleman. Under these general charges there are a mw ber of specifications.

On the first of April the Secretary of War ordered the detachment' of Major Wyse, which had been saved from the San Francisco, and which consisted of fonr companies I and of the Third Regiment of Artillery to sail in the George Law, on the, 20th of the same month. This order was, however, afterwards countermanded by General Scott, who issued an order to the effect that that detachment should leave on the 18th. Major Wyse, on his return to New York' after a brief absence, aser tained that the Quartermaster had chartered the Falcon as a transport for his troops to Aspinwall; and having received the impression that she wa8 unseaworfhy, he proceeded at the earHesfpos sible moment on board to examine her. Being dissatisfied, after a close inspection of her equipments, he requested the commanding officers to appoint a board of inspection for the purpose re examining her and making official report Of her condition. This request not having been granted up to the day of her sailing, he, himself as commanding officer, apointed a board, consisting of the medical officer and two subordinate officers of his detachment, for that purpose.

After a thorough examination of the vessel the board reported that she was poorly equipped and totally unfit to proceed sea without first making a trial trip. On the. same day General Scott appointed a board, consisting of three military officers, who also Inspected the steamer and reported favorably, npon which the General ordered the de tachment to sail next day. Upon the receipt of this second order Major Wyse resigned his com mand Into the hands of the nest senior officer of the detachment, preferring to incur the responsibility ot disobedience rather than to assnme the more serious responsibility of leading his troops on board a vessel which he felt convinced was entirely unfit for sea. The Falcon sailed at two o'cloek on the 18th, and shortly after Major, Wtsb was arrested, by order of General Scott and confined on Governor's Island.

It will be remembered that the Falcon, on proceeding on the voyage, was forced to put into Norfolk In distress, which seems to show that the opinion of Major Wtsb, on her unseaworthiness, was well founded. The Cos dcct of the Allied Fleets. The position occupied by the fleets under Sir Chas Napier, is one which can hardly be characterised by any other epithet than that of inactivity. Parties at a distance cannot, perhaps, appreciate or understand the causeB which may render this attitude, a proper one under the circumstances bnt we perceive that, that fearless organ, the London Tunes condemns the conduct of Ad, Napier in no measured terms. "Our fleet," says the Times, "has been a witness of the disaster of Sinopo, whioh if it could not prevent it might at any rate have avenged, and it now sees our enemies reinforced with the same impunity as that with which our friends were destroyed.

Better to peril our ships in the storms of the Eusice than to keep them safe at such an in glorions price. If they are to avail nothing towards checking the operations of our enemieB or protecting the weakness of our friends, it mat teis not greatly whether they are preserved to us or not.

The details of the grand battle between Santa Anna and Villareal, which created such an intense excitement if we would believe the Mexican journals are given.

"spotted rebel" was lost." The government at Washington is said to have received official confirmation to the intelligence brought by the last steamer, to the effect that the Spanish government condemns Pezuela, the Captain General at Havana, for seizing the Black Warrior, and directs that immediate reparation be nude.

The trial of Mrs. Hayes for the murder of Dr. Lu toper was commenced yesterday, and at the termination of the direct evidence of the widow of tho deceased the court adjourned to this morning.

There is not much doing at the Navy Yard, and some of the hands trom several departments were discharged last week. With respect to the six new frigates ordered by the Government, it is not yet decided where they are to be constructed. Two of them at least, we think, is due to this yard one at all events, it is said, will be built here. The United States steamer Princeton, which has been undergoing repairs to her machinery for three weeks past, it now appears, broke her piston rod on her late trial trip to sea. The de fective rod has been in use a number of years, and was worn out.

A new one, of course, must be made before the steamer can again navigate. Painters are at work on the United Sates re ceiving ship North Carolina, and in consequence, visitors will not be admitted daring this week. The great rain storm of last week, though it did no damage to the various buildings at the yard, overflowed the foundations of the new smithery and smoke stack, now in course of con struction for the National Foundry, and caused a suspension ot business. The injury, however, will not exceed $200. By the'way, we are given to understand that a number of Whigs are cosily ensconced in the Engineer's bnreau, notwithstanding the paucity of the Department.

Employment. There is now work enough for all. The individnal who stands idle acts from choice, not necessity. Every man can find some' thing to do, almost anywhere, and especially in the wester States. The following irom the Joliet (111.) Signal, is a sample of notices we find in oar western exchanges Wasted Scores and scores of mechanics.car penters and house joiners particularly.

There are some two hundred buildings to be erected this year in Joliet. Masons, stone cutters, are also in good demand. There is work enough to keep twice the number we have in onr city constantly employed. If mechanics or manufacturers wish to find a home where they can do better than any other place ia the country, let them come to i ouet. Putnam's Monthly is on our table.

The leader is devoted to Nebraska but it is in our view a remarkably unsatisfactory article. contains neither facts nor statistics regarding the Territory, and takes no side on the constitution al issue that has been raised on the subject The other articles in the Magazine are more worthy of its character, especially the Fireside travels," which are worth the whole price of the number. Henry Clay as an orator," is an en. thusiastio but not an exaggerated eulogy of that patriot. In two seperate articles on Russia and Turkey a is more unprejudiced viewof the condi tion and resources of the Russian empire than is generally met The number is on the whole a good one.
