Jenkins is in favor of keeping up Ida connection with tho Whig*—Johnson with tho Democrats of the North. Ahd these are the only alternatives loft any of us* For a sectional party, whether calling itself Southern Bights or Union, can not be maintained in Georgia, m is proved by the ft to of both these tempo, rary organisations. Shall we, thon, by supporting Johnson, be found in political association with Northern Democrats, led by Fierce, Buchanan, Cass and Douglass ; or by supporting Jenkins, be come the partisans of Scott, Cobwin, Seward, and Everett. Tbe.msJorlty of the voters of Georgia will hardly hesitate to choose as allies Northern Demo crats in preference to Northern Whigs. Jlr. Jenkins. Gentlemgn in other States are sorely puzzled to find out someting about Mr. Jenkins, tho candidate of tho Jenkins party for Governor. Not long since we published the speculations of the New Bedford Mercury, a Whig press, in relation to this “great unknown.” Now we have a string of inquiries, most of which we are unable to answer, propounded by the Richmond .Examiner, tho editor of which grave ly advances the opinion, that Jenkins is the man that struck Billy Paterson 1 We give some ex tracts from a remarkable editorial of bis on the sub ject of Georgia politics: The Whin of Georgia are entitled to the gratitude of tho people of the Union, for haring, when the thermometer or Fahrenheit wae 98 in the shade, hold a Convention, tho pro ceedings of which contains so largo an amount of coo], pre meditated assurance and Impudence, that they have almost reduced the temperature of the printing offices into which they have been put into type. Tho very perusal of them rendered it necessary for us to put oa a great coat,and close the windows of an attic apartment with a Southerly expo sure. • * * * * * • All the leading actors in this transaction wero Whigs, and their Gubernatorial candidate is a whig to wham Fill more offered the place of Secretary of the Interior of 1850. We are authorised by the Presidential election of 1862, to eay that there is no Union party In Georgia—-tho Democrat ic partners having retired from the firm. Yot the Whigs cling to the fragments of the wreck, and nnblushingly put forth the resolutions that we have pub lished above. For the purpose of defeating the regular nominee of the Democratic party, Judge Johnson, they haw adapted a Democratic platform qf principles. and placed a Whig candidate upon it. It is ludicrous, whilst it is crimi nal, to seosucta intolerant Whigs as Stephens and Toombs deliberately, and by formal resolutions, denouncing tho dis tribution of the proceeds of the public lands amoug tho States, and a system of internal improvement by the Gen eral Government. We have road of the ass disguising him- self imperfectly in the skin of the lion, but this attempt is tho richest illustration of it that we have ever known— here we have tho long ears jof Federalism steiking out of tho resolutions of the Baltimore Convention ; Stephens preaching against Whig principles, with Toombs for his bot tle holder. The humbug is so bald—the fraud so transpa rent, that It can excite nothing but a contemptuous stnllo. There Is one strange thing about this movement in Geor gia. which induces us to believe that the triumph of tho Whig party could not be attended with fat official pickings. We near nothing of Crawford—Galphin Crawford as ho is popularly known in the United States—the grlflHlnancier of the Taylor Cabinet. Is he gorged with publ^filundcr, that he does not issues forth and claim his share of tho an ticipated loaves and fishes? or does he—lofty now that ho is!—prefor the otivm cum dianitaU of former acquisitions, to the uncertain and doubtful rewards of tho foraging party reeoutly organized in his native State ? At the mention or his name a fragrance of other (lays, perfumed with virtues or the Taylor Cabinet, salutes us. Jenkins, that man of mystery, obscurity, and secret power, leads tho baud, and of the head of the Galpliina wo hear nothing. But who is the mysterious Jenkins, the convenient cat's-paw or the astute Stephens and the sepulchral Toombs? Is he a man, or a mere political myth, engendered in tho swamps of Georgia, in default of a genuine human being? Dims ho really like on honest living man, move about on his feot proper, or glide like the ever-returning ignus /alum, over the political sloughs, and briar patches, and quicksands of Georgia? Had ha father nr mother—In he old or young, dark or fair, toll or stout, gray, blue, black, yellow, tvhilo or green, are questions often asked about Jenkins, but nover satisfactorily answered. Doos ho liro in a wigwam, in a hollow tree, In a log hut. and subsist on cotton seed, eat fish and beans, or is he a princely planter, rejoicing in thou sands of brood acres and innumerable negroes ? Of all the people who annually travel nlong the many railroads that travorse the State of Georgia, nearly all have heard of Jenkins, but none have over seen him. Yet la times of political excitement, when the cauldron boils vio lently. Jenkins turns up with unerring certainty. Thus when Fillmore wanted a Secretary of the Interior, and could not catch one, he offored the place to all tho great uinr. of Ills party, and they would not touch It; at last it was offer ed to Jenkins—'but Jenkins, dreading the light of day- fearing that somebody might find out who he was if ho went to Washington—declined taking it; ami we all know that the President, becoming gloomy and misanthropical, was forced, after hawking the place about for many weeks, to give it to Sandy Stuart, of the hamlet of Staunton, who liad the same qualifications fur the post that ho has for acting as interpreter to Billy Bowlegs. We have a melancholy suspicion that Jenkins is the per son who many years ago perpetrated a villainous assault upon tho person of William Patterson. Our readers will remember tho circumstances of the case. Bill Patterson was struck by an unknown porson. and although tho strict est search was instituted, theoffender lias never been discov ered. The lamented Bison (John M. Botts)—whose name is rarely mentioned since his last demise, when his nintli life was beaten out of him, was by many suspected of having committed the assault. But we now believe that Jenkins is the man who struck Billy Patterson, and then fled to Georgia, where he has sinco skulked about the swamps of that 8tate. For if he is not the man who struck Patter son, we ask who is lie ? Why does not Jenkins show him self? Why does not some one write his life, or send forth his portrait to an admiring world ? Why decs not Barnum avail himself of tho national curiosity about Jenkins, and exhibit him with the Benrdcd Lady, whoso whiskers and other capillary enormitlos are now attracting so much at tention? m wm most MniwMy; ;a<joor*tod, trad ll$! ,by seven grand cbqtulollora, hanging lit tliroo " " gh.tbo hail.

All things considered It was an occasion that will leave its im press upon the progress of events. Wo have already given' much spaco to tho doings of tho 14th. On the morning of tho 15th, by invitation of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Underwriters, the Presi dent and Suit were shown tho bay and harbor. The steamer Josephine was employed for the purpose.— Many distinguished gentlemen connected with the businessandcommercialinterestsofthe city accom- panlcdthe President, the boat leaving her wharf at 10 o’clock. At 12 o’olock a collation was served on board, presided over by Mr. Perit, Presidont of the Chamber of Commerce, after which several appropri ate sentiments were offered followed by happy res* ponses from tho President, Gon. Wool, Hon. Jeffer son Davis, Attorney General Cushing and Secreta ry Guthrie. The boat returned between one and two P. H., when tbe President returned to his quar ters Atthe Astor House, whero ho was waited upon by a deputation from the Governors of tho Alms Honse with a cordial invitation to inspect the several institutions bolonging to the city Bituatcd upon Ran dall’# Island, bnt which be felt obliged to decline. A public reception of citizens generally followed, and the bafonce of the day passed most agreeably to all. In the evening the President attended tho Crystal Palace banquet, and visited Castle Garden to listen to Madame Sontaq. Injtbe course of Thursday, after the ceremony of opening tho Crystal Palaco had been completed, he called upon tha Countess of Ellesmere, who U staying with her family at the Clarendon Ho tel,a politeness which he doomed It his duty to per form, oa aoconnt of the sickness of the Earl, who was unablf to attend at the Inauguration of the Crystal Palace, It was partly out of respect to the Earl of Ellesmere, as Royal Commissioner, as we understood the^President to say at bis levee yesterday, says the Herald, that be was Induced to leave Washington for the purpose of attending the Crystal Palace inaugura tion, that there might bo no appearance of neglect on bis part. He also spokoinvory high terms of Sir Charles Lyell, the celebrated geologist, who is one of the British Commissioners. The banquet given in the evening at the Metropoli tan, by the Crystal Palace Association, is spoken of Jutamol the highest praise. Beats were provided for six bandied guests, And were folly occupied. The table at which the : President was seated, and the other-digmitarie^ wbo wero present, atood epon a Raised,platform at ouo ond of tho hull; overlooking night. who, if bis reputation depended moroly upon tho cul tivation of science, would occupy a proud eminence amoug its doYotcea. Bnt his feme rests upon a broador and ampler basis—upou this: that lie has himself contributed largely to tho amount or useful human knowledge. [Applauso.1 Aa an illustration of what this exhibition was likely to do, I was very much Impressed by what Sir Oharlea Lyoll himself told me, that an eminent inventor-and machinist dis covered, upon visiting the workshops or Lowell, that while thoy accomplished in the working of iron in ono hoar what it takes us live to perform, yot in thu cutting of wood the advantage is just as groat in fa vor of our machinery. [ Applause. 1 A striking fact, when it is remembered that tho united States and England are now, with tho wonderful application of steam, only nine or ten days apart. [ Applause.]- Whilo wo return our groatful acknowledgments to all tho governments and nations here represented, do not all hearts unite with mo in thoexpiefisionoftlio hope that tho only rivalry which may ever spring up La- tween them and us shall bo tho rivalry of earnest, determined, steady offort to promote the elevation of the raco, and peace uud good neighborhood nations and men ? After the long continued applause which followed, the company gave throe cheers for the President, who immediately afterwards retired, in company with Goneral Wool and Secretary Webster, to attend tho Gpern at Castle Gordon. In proposing the next regular toast, Mr. Sedwick said: We are not to forgot that tho Presidont is not hero alone to-night. There are other gentlemen sitting closo around him, assisting him in the ardous task he has had to discharge, ond who have also done us the honor to be present at our inauguration, and who ore hero to-night. I shall give you— Mr. Guthrie, Secretary of tho Treasury. Tho Hon. James Guthrie responded. He said . Fellow Citizens : Although I have been a public speaker for nearly forty years I nover was abashed till now. What can one from the banks of the Ohio, a now State, offer hero to this assembly in commem oration of the industry of all nations, in commenda tion of tho arts or peace, in the toleration of religious and political sentiments, tho extension of commerce, the extension of agriculture, tho extension of manu factures, tho extension of urts and sciences ? I have nothing to say but to offer you the example of my countrymen in the arts of agriculture. They have felled forests, and raado cultivated fields, and added State after State to this glorious Union, until wo now number thirty-ouo States. [Applause.] They have built city after city. Seventy years ago the city whero we now are was about a mile and a half in length and half a mile in breadth, with twenty-one thousand inhabitants. Now it is more than five miles long and two miles wide. Where were then wooden houses of from one to two stories high are now prince ly palaces of from four to six stories, aud with a pop ulation of six hundred thousand. And thus New York has given us an example of the industry of all tho nations of the earth. New York has done more than that. Her commerce whitens every sea—draws thu rioh productions of every land and of overy clime, and makes this the great commercial emporium of the United States. New York wus not satisfied with this, but by her Erie canal, her Erie and other rail roads, Bbc lias proceeded westward to the great lakes, and added tho commerce of tho vast West to her riches. And this is another evidence that New York has given to tho industry of tho nations of the earth, [Applause.] She has dono more—she now offers tho Crystal Palaco for tho exhibition of tho works of our urt and of our industry. She invites her sister States, and nil tho nations of the earth, to come here and ex hibit their industry aud their arts in order that sho may draw benefit from them, and they, by compari son, may draw benefit from her. New York is a peaceful city, and lias won her position and her re- nowu by tho nrts of peace. And while commerce reigns New York must tbrlvo—New York must stand —and her example extend, until other cities and oth er States, fired by her example, shall, by like indus try and like enterprise, win tho position and the re- uown which sho has obtained. [Applause.] But whero will New York bo when they are coming up to her? Cast your imaginations a hundred years hence. Tho enterprise, the industry, and the integ rity, which have governed and ruled her merchants, will givo her two millions of inhabitants, and a degree of strength and power in tho industry of the nations of tho earth which will still make her pre-emineut in all tho West. Hon. Jefferson Davis said—Gentlemen—I thank you from the bottom of my heart for tho kind and generous manner with which you have received the last toast. It is true that I have marched below that banner, and it ia also true that the warmest feelings of my heart are with that ling. From boyhood to manhood it was my fortune to Borvo beneath that banner ; bnt I can now most heartily rejoico in those manifestations which now surround mo, and which indicate tho friendliness of nations. These bring to gether tho men from evory civilized quarter of tho globe, to contribute toward the advancement of scienco and civilization, which will hold men togeth er in one common brotherhood, mid lead them to make tho earth what it is destined to be, the home of man and his blessed estate. Hon. Caleb Cushing, in responding to tho next toast, said Gentlemen—In response to your call I may be pardoned in submitting a reflection, a single reflection, upon that which constitute the prominent thought of an occasion like tho present. It is true that peace has her victories no less renowned than war. [Applause.] And we ourselves on yesterday assembled to honor one of thaw triumphs of peace.— [Applause.] Tho chief magistrate of this republic.a man who—1 may bo pardonod for saying so in the presence of so many of the representatives of mon archical Europo—I say tlmt the man who is at tho head of this government does not reign but governs. He has tho actual as well as the titular power invest ed in him by the free choico of tho people of the Uni ted. States, and Isay that a man ho high placed would not have left his official duties for an occasion like this, to be present at a consecration, not of a temple of Belona, but of an edifice raised to a divinty un known to ancient mythology, viz : tho useful objects of life. [Applause.] And it was not like tho cap- tor leading In triumph conquered nations, with the trophies of their dishonor at his back, that the Presi dent of the United Stated honored this occasion, but to show, at the head of that great procession of tho representatives of the nation of tho earth, that they were convened together in brotherhood and peace, aud science, to do honor to the solemn spirit of im mortality that is God-like in tho nature of man. [Ap plause.] I have derived the siouercst pleasure from witnessing this congress of nrts. science, and com merce, and I believe that it should necessarily have beon held in tho city of New York. [Applause.] I will not further trespass upon your attention, but al low my friends to address you. [Loud applause.] In reply to the sixtli toast: *• The Foreign Com missioners who have honored us this day with their presence," Sir Charles Lyell wus introduced, and responded ns follows: 1 have to return, as your President has called upou me so to do, my thanks, in my own name and that of my colleagues, for tho honor you have done us in drinking our healths. After wbat tho President of the United States and the Presidont of this Society have kindly said of their regret for the absence of the Earl of Ellesmere, it is almost unnecessary that I should, although he commissioned mo to do so, apol ogize to you for his unavoidable absence. Not only in spite of indisposition did he press his journey from Canada, in the nope of being present at tho ceremo nies yesterday, but he requested me to say that ho would have been here if he had not been confined to his bed by illness. Ho also requested me to say how gratified lie has bocn during his late tour through this country with the kind welcome he has received, and to use his own words, " the cordial yet unobtru- bIvo hospitalities which ho has every where met with." [Applause.] Gentlemen,, tho President of the United States bus spoken of mo in such terms that I say most sincerely, with every disposition to bcliove him—for your first magistrate, like our own, can do no wrong—that he lias not measured carefully enough the terms of his eulogy. I receive gratefully there expressions, as iutended at least to convey ids kind feelings towards me for the Httlo part which I have played, whether in science or in making your country better known, its I think it deserves to bo, to my countrymen. [Applause.] Your President bos also alluded to the observations of ono of my col leagues, Mr. Whitworth, which he made after his ro- turnfrom a visit to the Lowell factories, and I may say that duriug their tour—and roy colleagues, have said tho same thing to me—thoy were Rtruck with tho wonderful labor-saving Inventions in the machine- ry of this country, to which, far more thon its soil or any other cause, they ascribed tho groat wealth which has accumulated here. [Applause.] I trust this commission will bo the means of making sooner known somo of those inventions and machines which it is moat desirable our countrymen should under stand tho benefits of. This is tho fourth visit I have made to your country, and it is only by observing the wonderful progress which this peoplo aro making in knowledge, power, and general prosperity, that wo [can arrive at a true estimate of the greatness of tho country. It is indeed a most cheering sight for any foreigner to witness. I say a foreigner, but whenev er I havo travelled in yonr country whether pursuing science, or with others engaged in tho same pursuit, 1 or travelling as a stranger, I have never beon allowed to feel myself a foreigner 5 and yet, stranger to say, this is the first time 1 have visited the United States without finding the press, and sometimes Congress, engaged In the discussion of questions that seemed to endanger the amicable relations between thin coun try and my own. Blr Charles Lyoll hero alluded to the McLeod difficulty In 1841, and t[io Oregon ques tion in 1845, when he said tho walls of our city wore placarded with “ fifty-four forty or fight." [Great laughter.1 He then expressed the hope that nothing more serious should occur to disturb the present peaceful relations of the two countries. After allud ing to the New. York Crystal Palace In appropriate terms, be concluded as follows:—Tho Exhibition of England In 1851 created a unity of all tho nations of world, however different' tholr tendencies and ^ Lot us therefore, hopo that jffimumw HKDifEHiiKgfB&SB&i Ust,' uot only eleven cfinturlosj 'but. eleven times eleven centurion. Geutlomen, before f Bit down, permit mo to return my thanks toyou all for the kind aud worm recaption you have given us to-night. Tho seventh regular .toast: “The GQvernor of the BUte of New York,’!‘was olotpiontly responded to by Govomor Cobb, of our own State, In tho absonoo of Govornor Seymour, of New York, who had been obliged to retire from porsonai iudlspositlon. Gov, Cobb spoke os follows 1 Gentlemen—I hollovo I stand alono at present, ns representing in an oxooutlve capacity, tho sovereign ty of any of the States of this union, at your enter tainment this evening. This should uot bo so; but 1 feol that I am authorized to say that tho non-attend ance of my coleagucs U uot from any want of interest in tho occuslon which has called us together. If there were any officials in this country.who ought to havo been present at this time, I think they should havo bceu or that class to which I have tho honor to bo- long. Representing the sovereignty of tho States of thiH Union, they should bo peculiarly interested In tho results of this ond kindred exhibitions. We have been told of tho stimulant which will bo given to in dustry in alt its brandies throughout our country by this exhibition 5 wo are well aware that every branch of trade is advanced aud carried forward by It. More over, our Union will be strengthened by this display: ore difficulty which has existod between tho different States will do silenced by such an exhibition. My own judgment la, that whon we come to know each other bettor wo diall esteem each other more highly. Wlmt is better calculated to bring about that result than tho collection of all the Interests which go to mako up tho grand aggregate of American interests and national greatuess? The mighty North, and South, and East and West, have met, not for any su premacy of power, nor for tho settlement of any ex- asporatod feeling, but for a generous rivalry, to bcc who can do inoBt to promote the arts and sciences of our country and of tho world. Geutlomen, I havo given you but one idea, and I might lmvo associated it with others. But I atn reminded that time is pas sing rapidly away, and that there are many hero whom you and I are anxious to listen to upon this oc casion. [Loud cries of go on, go on.] I am afraid before I should proceed much further you might give mo a different intimation. Tho cheers wero then pro posed aud heartily giveu for Mr. Cobb, as ho resumed his scat. Among those who responded to other sentiments wero Senator Chase, of Ohio; Count do Bartigks, tho French Minister; tho venerable Dr. FnANCis 5 Mr. McMiohael, of Philadelphia; Chancellor Wal worth; Ogden Hoffman 5 Judge Campbell ; Major Sprague ; Con. Tallmaixje, and others. After a fi nal speech from Mr. Sedgwick tho company sepa rated. On Saturday morning, at 10 o’clock, tho President, accompanied by General Wool, Messrs. Guthrie, Davis and Cushing, took his departure for Washing ton. O11 tho arrival of tho boat at Jersey City, a sulute of gun3 was fired from tho Battery, and also from the British mail steamship Arabia. The Presi dent and Buito were escorted to the railroad depot, where a special train was in waltiug to convey them to Philadelphia. Thus has terminated an occasion unmarred by a single incident calculated to detract from tho pleas ant remembrances of the future—an occasion where tho highest functionaries of a Democratic Govern ment have freely mingled with their constituents in more ilriniy establishing tho arts of peace, and in the promotion of the menus of human happiness. The First Day’s Exhibition. The New York Times, of the 16th, describes the exhibition at the Crystal Palace tho day previous, be ing the first after the opening. It says: If wo wero disposed to be imitative, wo should call this tho Crystal Record, or the Crystal Diary, or the Crystatepumething or Anything. For everything within a mile of the nowly opened Industrial Palace is crystal. There are Crystal Stables, and Crystal Cake Shops, aud Crystal Croggcries, and Ice-cream Saloons. Ono old woman lias set up a Crystal Fruit Stall, at which oranges and bananas, in every Btago of decomposition, may be purchased. We noticed a dilapidated hovel on Sixth-avenue, which was called by its proprietor the Crystal Hall of Pleasure. The Crystalian prefix muy have been all very well, for the thing was transparent enough ; bot how even the fee blest pleasure could bo conjured up in such a temple, we are entirely at a loss to determine. Tho interior of tho Crystal Palaco looked handsome, and more attractive than wo have yet seen it. Many additions were made yesterday to tho different departments. Exhibitors were busy, os usual. Here a browmskinned Italian was polishing a table inlaid with difierent colored woods, on which a variety of battles were depicted, the most remarkable of which was Waterloo, whero Napoleon in tho foreground, mounted on a maple charger, and clothed in a ma hogany coat with rosewood lapels, led an oak and walnut army to the cliargo. There a sculptor or his assistant, clad In blouse, was sand papering and put ting tho last fond touches to some marble statue or bas-relief. Men were rushing about in all directions with porcelain jugs, pictures, bits of machinery, mod els, musical instruments, and u thousand such objscts in their hands, on their way to the section in which their show-cases lay. But there was, with all this, no crush or bustle in the building. Its fine proportions were not disturbed by any unseemly crowding. Tho vast naves were agreeably sprinkled with the gay dresses of tho visitors, aud tho doino looked loftier, lighter, and more terlal than ever. In tho Holland section men were busy nnnackini rich velvets aud other costly goods, some or wliici whore already displayed on stands. Italy, with its statuary aad paintings, presented a gayer sight. We noticed oue remarkable work of art in this department which has been just unpacked. It is a wild boar’s head, cast in bronze, by Professor Colracnt Papi, modelled from nature, and untouohed by chisel or graver since the hour it was taken from the mould.— It is full of spirit and truth; the wild bristles arc matted on the Merced head, and the small eyes glean as fiercely as they did when the savago owner died on the spear among the rocks of the Appenios. We noticod In the back portions qf this section a good statuett, niodcliod in terra cotta, but yet unplaced.— Nearly opposite to the German States lay a work In bronze or great merit, ltwas a <iying Heron, design ed by P. Coinolera, and executed by lhiplan it Salles of Paris, a firm remarkable for the beauty and artistic excellence of its issues. The Heron lies prone, with the fatal arrow buried deop in his ragged feathers His long neck writhes convulsively in tho agonies of death, and his logs are stiffening out with tho muscu lar action so powerful in such moments. There wero a great many tilings to amuse 11s as wo wandered about. There was Homo caudle exhibitor, who, not content with showing his long and short "sixes," decorated his case with a stearine Greek Slave. The idea of a captive in tel low, or spermacet- ti, or even stearine! tho thing was too laughable. In the galleries of tho nortli nave wo beheld one of the most unfortunate gentlemen it was ever our lot to en counter. He inhabited a gloss ense, belonging to some one who exhibited trusses, artificial limbs and sus penders. There was not a portion of this unhappy gentleman’s body which did not apparently require relief, lie lmd a patent left leg; his right was envel oped in a bandage for the suppression of varicose votes. His arms were in splints, patent also. His suspend- era were of a complicated nature, something botween stays and a straight waistcoat. Ho was a lamentable instance of human infirmity, and although I10 was mule of wax, we pitied him. The Englhli Department was looking gloomy.— Hardly any of the goods had been unpacked except Mr. De La Hue's multitudinous army of note paper and envelopes. He exhibits such charming packs of playing cards, that wo should not be at all surprised If, when tho doors of the Palace are closed for the night, Rome of tho most convivlally disposed statues stopped from their pedestals and lmd a quiet game of eucre. There appears to he some good paintings in the English section, but they ureas yet so huddled together that It is impossible to obtain a favorable view. There was ono funny picture in tho lot. It was a water-color cony of Corregio’s charming pic ture of “Cupid Reading,” in tho Loudon National Gallery. This copy was bysome modest young lady, who signs herself Miss M. The picture looks like a cheap cotton pocket handkerchief which has been ex posed to the elements, and whose colors have run. Farther on, and apparently belonging to no par ticular section, there is a picture of a young Calabri an woman playingon tho tambourine, by ono Leopold Poliak. There is a very good elfect of light and shade, and the girl's Bkin is deliciously brown and sunny. The rod tint in her hair is admirably man aged. On the whole, this, the first public day of the Ex hibition has been eminently pleasing, and gives us an agreeable foretaste of what we may expect as things progress. A large number of foreign packages wero received to-day. Ono hundred and filly entered the Foreign Department, mostly German consignments, and a very considerable number wero handed into the American rccoiving office. Fifty largo cases, filled with goods from Europo, were passed through the Custom House to-day, so that wo may expect soon to see the blank spots in tho building glowing with in dustrial decorations. The number of tickets sold during tho day was 3,350. The amount of cash received at the doors wuh $1,630 60. The number of persons admitted during the day was 7,000.

From the Now York Times, 10th. Horrible Suicide. Immediately alter the sounding of the whistle at the 8 o’clock A. M. express train from Now York at the New Rochelle depot, yesterday morning, a gen tleman, very respectably attired, started up the road with his hands folded and head drooped, as if labor ing uuder a depression of spirits. Auer lie had pro ceeded a short distance, ho hulled between the tracks of the railroad, and stood as though he was wniting the arrival oftho train. Tho engineer and brukemcn saw him, and presumed that he would keep clear of the train ; but on Us approach, ho threw himself right across tho track, in front of the locomotive—the whole train imsltig over him {literally smashiughim to pieces. A gold watch aud chain, also smashed to atoms, were found on his person. In his pocket was a wallet containing a roll of bank notes aud two business bills made out to F. C. Gray. Coroner Hun tington was immediately sent for, to hold an in quest. Wo learn that the unfortunate' man’s name was Franklin C. Gray, aged about 45 years, a weathly merchant of Sun Francisco, California, whero he was Alderman for two years, aud highly respected. Ho lmd an income of $36,000 a ycur, which ho received regularly, in moutbly remittances of $3,000. He brought letters of credit from Cook, Palmer A Co., of San Francisco, about 15 months ago. IIo has since been residing, a portion of tho time, in Washington, where ho recently married a young, beautiful, and highly accomplished Indy. He lind re cently purchased a house in New York, iu tho Fifth- avenue, which I10 fitted up in a most magnificent style. Last week, while laboring under an abei ra tion of mind, lie disposed of his bouse and furniture, at a sacrifice of $7001) to $8000. He advertised bis furniture for sale ; and, on persons going there, they found that he had sent for u furniture broker, and had it all taken away. Recently, he was introduced to Mr. Foreman, of the Pavillion Hotel, at New-Racliellc, at the office of John Cook, Jr., No. 08 Broadway; and alter some conversation with Mr. F., talked of visiting the place. Yesterday, he again met Mr. F.,nnd at once d< aided to return with him. He eamo for the purpose of look ing at the rooms, and promised tu bring his trunk up the following day. He appeared to enjoy himself very much during tho evening, and partook oi n hear ty supper, lie said ho never enjoyed a meal better. He was in excellent spirits. Air. Foreman, in accor dance with the wishes of Air. Cook, did all iu liis pow er to occupy his mind, as, for some time past, lie liud been rather depressed. In the evening they went to tiie Neptune House, to havo a game of billiards, but not, finding a table at liberty, tbey returned, and he went to bis room Immediately. On returning from the Neptune House, it was agreed upon that they would proceed on a fishing ex cursion in tho morning, of which amusement lie said he wus remarkably fond. Air. Foreman invited a number of ladies to accompany them, with a view to edify him as mucli as possible. When everything was ready, and ho ascertained that ladies were going, he said ho did not feel well,and declined to go. A short time afterward lie went out at the western gate in the rear of the house, and after going a short distance, turned round and looked as though he suspected that some one was watching him. Not supposing that lie contemplated anything wrong, no ono followed him or took any further notice of him. His wife is expected from Washington tlite morn ing, to join him. Ho appeared to idolize ids wife ; and only a few days ago lie made out a will, leaving her all uis property unconditionally. We havo said that the body was “ literally smash ed to pieces." If this statement bo literally under stood. it will convey some idea of the appearance which the body presented. Not a piece of the scull could lie found larger than a penny! Both arms and the right leg aud foot shared a similar fate. The ver tebras is in several places broken, and tho left font smashed to pieces. The brains, mangled flesh and intestines were scattered iu all directions. Hero was a broken leg, while there was a part of a hand, or some other portion of that human frame in which life and spirit beamed a minute before. The hand that writes this description of a most horrible death, gath ered up the scattered brains and mangled limbs, placed them on a plank and assisted to carry them to New Rochelle Depot. The horrible suicide occurred about three hundred yards northeast of the depot.— The body lies at the depot awaiting the inquest.

Our Dcmnmls on Ureecc. Decidedly tho Greek Government is set upon trying the patience of the Government of the United States, as it did a few years since thot of Great Britain.— From correspondence from Athens as lute as the lOtli of Juno, wo learn that whilst the U. Si irignte Cum berland, having obtained, in spite of dissatisfaction iu certain quarters, a firman to pass the Dardanelles, had temporarily loft Athens aud gone to Constantino ple to protect the Americans residing there, in case there should be any outbreak of Mussulman fanati cism during tho dillicnlties between Russia and Tur key, the U. S. ship levant was still obligud to await at Athens tiie answer of the Greek Government might give Air. Alursli, who was still detained there. The special mission oi our Minister at Constantino ple lias as yet been ineffectual in eliciting from the Greek Cabinet tho answer demanded, though we be lieve it is two mouthssiucc Air. Alarsh’s second urrival at Athens. The wrong done by the Greek Government to the American citizen, Dr. King, wus ol a two-fold nature; one was iu sustaining his condemnation and impris onment without legal or constitutional justification; tho other was in restraining him for sixteen years from using or selling certain land which lie possessed in the centre of the city, and declining to buy it.- After the nature of the complaints had been labor, ously examined by Mr. Muren during many weeks, mid the results in voluminous reports hud been pre sented to Government, President Fillmore was con vinced that it was absolutely necessary to demand satisfaction. That satisfaction has been demanded; but besides the fact that procrastination anil tergiver sation aro essential ingredients in Greek policy, the Greeks are just at this moment too much absorbed with insane dreams aliout tbc extension of their au thority over European Turkey, and the restoration of the Greek Cross to Saint Sophia, to attend to the mi nor matters of justice and comity; and so our proud ships remain for months expecting promised answers in vain. Doubtless fresh and definite instructions havo been sent to Greece ; yet no American entertains a doubt that the present Administration will sustain the last, and persevere until ample satisfaction is obtained, and that if more decisive measures nre necessary, they will be adopted. Greece is a petty kingdom, anil tbe strong should uot be too exacting from the weak, ns long as they act with justice. But it is preposter ous for the Greeks to presume upon their weakness, upon the protectorate of the three powers, aud upon their classic origin, as a dofeuco and shield, when their conduct is such that it would incur foul reproach in a more powerful nation. England Imre with great pttienco during many years, the contemptuous silence of successive (5 reek Cabinets to her demands for re dress in the Paoilico and other affairs ; but at last her magnauimity was exhausted, and her licet laid an embargo upon the merchant ships or Greece. It would be singular if America should have to follow in the suit of England, and thus present to tho world the picture of two nations that were tiie most enthu siastic in the cause ol Greek lilierty, compelled the first of all to seek from that people by a demonstra tion of force, that justice which they will not grant from a sense of honor.
