Entering at the gate of the Exhibition Grounds, the first object of interest is, of course, the Exhibition Buildings, known more familiarly as the Crystal Palace. We are indebted to the " Hand Book of Torcmto " for the following elaborate description of the Building : The palace is craoiftvm in style, the main body of it forming a parallel- ogram 266 feet in length, and 96 feet in width, — with two central projec- tions in Uie north and south parallels, 16 feet bj 64 feet, and 16 feet by 44 feet, giving and extreme wiath of 144 feet, which Includes a covered en- trance or porch in the southern front, 16 by 82 feet. There are four entrance doors, one in the centre of each parallel. The total area under the roof is upwards of 88,280 superficial feet, which includes a space of 1,280 superficial feet, covered by four spacious stairs leading to the gallery. The super^cial extent of the gallery is estimated at 11,000 feet; (lie extreme height from the ground floor to the central roof is 66 feet. The walls are chiefly cast iron and glass, after the design in a considerably modified sense, of tha Crystal Palace of 1861. The glare of the circular tin roof relieves the eye a little as you approach ; bat the building looks very low, and as if crushed down by the Buperincumbent mass of roof. It woi^d hi-ve ]o^n greatly impi'oved m effect had the glass walls been carried up % th4 iTfie oftiie giilery floor some three or four feet, or had the roof been broken by perpendicular lights to relieve it from that heavy dome ADVERTIflEMENTfi. f AND YONGE STREET, TORONTO.

This would of course have involved an extra expenditure, which the exchequer of the Association, perhaps, did not warrant As already stated, the walls are chiefly cast iron and glass. They are 16 feet 10 inches high. The girders, which form their upper line, are supported by 44 iron columns, dividing the entire building into 48 com- partments of 16 ffeet. Each of tlie'ie compartments is filled up with wooden frame -work to a height of five feet, and with three circular headed sashes 8 feet 6 inches in height by 5 feet wide, each containing 16 lights 31 inches by lOf . The interior of the building is divided by columns reaching from the floor to the roof, and forming a nave, with northern and southern transepts, and two extended aisles. These aisles are again divided longi- tudina ly by two row? of columns, forming a central parallelogram 80 feet by 82 feet, and two aid's ones 80 feet by 16 feet. The nave is 64 feet square within the columns, and is lighted by a window in the roof 23 feet square, with tapering lights 84 inches long each. The transepts are 64 feet by 16 feet each. In the eastern corner of the northern transept there is a saloon 16 feet square fitted up for the accornmndation of the ladies in attendance at the e^ibition ; in the western corner there is an office of similar dimensions for the Secretary ; and in the centre of. this same tran- sept an orchestra 32 feet by 20 is erected, having a semi-circular front of plain truss railing, supported by a row of wooden colunms. It contains four rows of seats, also aomi-circular, for the accommodation of the per- formers, and immediately behind these there is a platform seven feet square for the reception of an organ. In the centre of the nave and immediately in front of the orchestra a fountain is erected to plav during the exhibition. The entrance transept doors are 20 feet wide by 14 feet high, all finished uniform with the walls. The main building is well ventilated, having forty-four ventilators 8 feet 3 by 4 feet 9 inches at regular intervals round the walls immediately under the gallery floors. Four substantial stairs, 1 feet 6 inches wide, each having two landings, lead to the galleries, which extend round the whole building, with a width of floor of 16 feet, guarded at its inner extremity by a plain truisa railing 3 feet high. The tread of the stairs is 12 inches with an easy lift, of 7 inches, while the height is greatly relieved by the spacious landings. The roof of the aisles rises 16 feet from the gallery floor, forming an arch of 24^ feet span from the eaves. The aisles are each lighted by one window 64 feet by 16 feet wide, with side lights 3 feet high, the n-aines of which represent girders. The span of the central roof over the nave is 68 feet, supported by four pairs of principals, each rising 16 feet from the termination of the arch of the aisle roof, and 54 feet from the main floor. In the centre of this roof is the large square-window already alluded to, which lights the nave. Four tie ro^ stretch aoross at right angles froni the spring of this centre roof. These ties are of if inch iron, stretching 68 feet, tied at two different points, and supported by perpendicular rods 16 feet long. JGIeveu principals of a jimilar ch racter to those in the centre roof sup- port the roof of the aisles, each having a span of of 32 feet, with a rise of 47|feet This part of the design is very heavy, and would have been f;reatly relieved nad there been half the number of principals, framed a it(l0,WTiei;: uid spring &ob» (be (op of each column.

It is in fact one of the few public works constructed in Tc : :. r to to the spirit and letter of the contract, without the slightest scope for Avtm the suspicion of a job. Had the Committee been able to expend another thousand pounds or so in ele- vating the glass walls, or in breaking the solid massive roof, it would have heightened the effect of the buirldfng considerably. As it is, they have made a great step in advance of anything hitherto connected with the display ot our arts and manufactures^ and when the City of Toronto gets somewhat relieved from its burthensome debt, something more magnificent, I have no doubts will be achiev^d^ , . ,. ,,, - OUR TROUBLES. The difficulties of getting up anything like an accurate description of the thousands of articles on exhibition in one day are so evident, that it is need- less to say that our task must be imperfectly performed. Th^ late arrival of the greater part of the articles, and the impossibility of arranging them n anything like pfopcnr atiet in so shorts time, Tenders it directly impos- sible for us to present a full description to-day. We intend, therefore, completing the description to-day, and will issue to-mobbow a SECOND EDITION, which will also contain all that is to-day presented, and an account of the proceedti^fl^ifit0rve^ii^g,\formin|; a complete account of the exhibition, and coupling with it much other valuable information.

He had beer pumps, improved baths, and last and most interesting of all, patent incubator for hatching chickens. The in- mates of the Penitentiary do not excel in agricultural implements alone. Here was exhibited by Mr. J. P. Milliner, of Kingston, a lot of tools of polished steel, made by the Provincial prisoners, which would not dis- credit the best steel toy maker in the country. Messrs.

There were likewise horse shoes by Mr. William Howard, of Strectsville, as well as by Mr. George Savage, of Toi-onto, Mr. Hugh Ross, of York Mills, and Mr. Wm.

The western portion of the building is occupied with the products of the field and garden. Festoons of evernpreens have been hung from pillar to pillar, which together with the varied folis^e of the shrubs, elevated on the stalls placed along the centre of l^e transept, cause this portion of the exhibition to present a very attractive appearance. The collection of flowers yesterday was not very great, but that will not be the case to day, as exhibitors naturally wishing to make the best show when most people would be present to witness it^ have kept back the more fragile of their produots until the final opening of the Exhibition. But if there was a deficiency of flowers this is oy no means the case with fruits and vegetables, Large quantities of the very best Canadian produce, grapes, apples, pears|, peaches, and nectarines, side by side with the humbler products of the kitchen garden are to be seen in profusion, and difficult will be the task of the judges who have to decide upon their relative merits. The culture of the first mentioned fruit, the grape, seems to be receiving increased attention in Oanada, to judge from the numerous beautiful and highly tempUng specimens shown. The exhibitors are Messrs. T. 0. Short, Niagara Falls ; lliomas Briggs, jun'r, Kingston ; T. C. Campbell, Toronto, gardener for W. H. Boulton, Esq. ; S. W. Benson, Belleville ; S. J. Brown, Niagara ; R. Bugler, London ; Adam Wilson, Toronto (a splenlid specimen of hot-house grapes) ; W. H. Read, of Fort Dalhousie ; Joseph Hargrave, Sglinton : W. Froudfoot, Toronto ; James Reynolds, Brockville ; — Har- rison, Toronto; Mr. Valey, of Toronto, besides exhibiting a quantity of fiue grapes, accompanies them with several bottles of wine of his own manu- facture. The next most attractive feature is that perhaps made by the apples, a great quantity having been sent of all sorts, sizes, and descriptions, fit for baking, boiling, or roasting, with others, — will taste best when ate in the state nature has left ihem. The princidal exhibitors are Messrs. Allen Wilcock, Toronto, Geo. Tattle Toronto, J. D. Humphrevs, Toronto, Geo. Murrav, Tork Township, J.

Of peaches thei>e is not a large quantity, but still quite sufficient to shew that if greater attention were paid to their oultivatioii we should not be under the necessity of importing any from our American neighbours. The principal exhibitors are Messrs. Eli Varey, Niagara, John Brown, Toronto, and J. H. AndersoD, West Flamboro'. Kingston will this year take the prize for plums, Messrs. Thomas Briggs, and D. Wadsworth of that city having sent a very fine collection. Mr. J. D. Humphrey of this city is also still better ; For this class of fruit the season has been very unpropitious The Hamilton and Brockville Horticultural Societies have both sent collections of fruit, the latter especially making a very fine shew. (JFbr continuation see SECOND EDITION, to he issued To-morroto.) Ascending the north stair-case we find in the north-eastern gallery specimens of BOOKS AND PRINTING. On the tables were a number of Ledgers and other blank books from the Bindery of Mr. L. Oobn, Toronto. These books have metallic backs, and they have also a new improvement in sewing each section, being lined ^ with a ribbon which strengthens the back and allows the book to open in a very free manner. Mr. Cohn also exhibits a new letter fyle, which is a I decided improvement on the old method. Amongst articles worthy of men- tion is the new method for addressing newspapers and periodicals by a marking press, the invention of J. Spencer, Toronto. G. R. Sanderson exhibits specimens of printed books in good variety. Rowsell t,> ADVERTISEMENTS. FACTS, NOT FABLES!

In the compilation of a Hand Book for the use of the thousands of yisltora whom the attractions of our Annual Provincial Fair have this year assembled in the good City of Toronto, it is but fitting that some prominence should be given to an account of the city itself, in which not only its own people but the inhabitants of the whole Province havu an interest, as being the capital of Upper Canada, and at present the Seat of the Provincial Government and Legislature. Sixty-five years ago, the site of the present City of Toronto was covered by the primeval forest, its only human tenants being two or three families of wandering savages who had happened to select the spot for the erection of their temporary wig-warns. Now, instead of the two or three families of Indians we find a prosperous and enterprising community of fifty thousand BOtds, posseBsed of au the comforts and appliances of modern civilization and refinement — and, instead of the sombre forest, the most wealthy and populous city of Upper Canada, with streets and private dwellings and puolic edifices that will compare favorably with those of many other cities whidx have had centuries for their development. For its rapid rise to its present eminence Toronto is almost exclusively indebted to its admirable commercial position, its advantages in that respect having been appreciated by the far-seeing sagacity of Governor Simcoe, when selecting the site for a capital, and having been since turned to the best account by the perse- vering industry and energy of its inhabitants. In 1791, when the former Province of Quebec was cBvided into the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, Upper Canada contained about 10,000 inhabitants, chiefly loyalists, who, on the United States throwing oS allegiance to Great Britain, had sought new homes in the wilds of Canada, where, though deprived of many coimorte, they might yet have the satisfaction of feeling that they maintained inviolate their loyalty to their Sovereign, and preserved their connection with the loved mother country. In 1192 General Simcoe was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, and in the summer of that year arrived in the colony. In the first instance the Government was established at Niagara, and there the first Legislature of Upper Canada was convened on the nth September, 1*792. It was seen, however, that from its position on the frontier, Niagara was not well adapted for being the Seat of Government, and one of the first subjects 'Wbich occupied the attention of Governor Simcoe, was the selection of another site for a capital. On this S>int he yetj soon came into collision with the views of the Governor eneral, Lord Dorchester, who was in favor of making Kingston the capital, on account of its proximity to Lower Canada, which he regarded as a matter of the first importance, with a view to trade, and also to its capabilities of defence, as in the event of au invasion, troops from Lower Canada could be more readily forwarded to Kingston than to a more Vesteriy p sassagas — and the Bay and neighbouring marshes, were the hitherto unin* vaded haunts of wildf fowl ; indeed they were so abundant as in some measure to annoy us during the night In the spring following, the Lieut. Governor removed to the site of the new Capital, attended by the regiment of Queen's Bangers, and commenced at once the realization of his favourite project. His Excellency inhabited, during the summer and through the winter, a canvas house which he imported expressly for the occasion ; but, frail as was its substance, it was rendered exceedingly comfortable, and soon became as distinguished for the social and urbane hospittdity of its venerated and gracious host, as for the peculiarity of its structure." (Governor Simcoe gave the name of York to the capital he had selected, and the rivers on either side received the names respectively of the Don snd Humber. His own residence he built on the brow of the hill overlook- ing the valley of the Don, at the junction of what is now St. James' Ceme- tery with the property of F. Cayley, Esq., calling it Castle Frank, the name which the property still retains. While the gubernatorial residence was being erected, Governor Simcoe returned to Niagara, where he opened the third session of the Upper Canada Parliament^ on the 20th June^ 1794. la the &U of that year, ord«ni wero given for'the eonatniotion of Farlia- 36 ADVXRTI8X1IXNT8.

In 1796, the Duo de Rochefoucauld was in Upper Canada and in his published Travels, alludes to a visit pidd to York by some oi his companions. He says :— " During our stay at Navv Hall, Messrs. Du Petit Thouars ana Quille- mard, took the opportunity of the return of a gun-boat, to ])&j a visit to York. Indolence, courtesy towards the Governor, (with whom the author was then residing at Navy Hall) and the conviction thnt I would meet with few objects of interest in that place, combined to dissuade me from this journey. My friends informed me on their return, that this town, which the Governor hud fixed upon as the capital o^Uuper Canada, has a fine extensive bay, detached ft'om the lake by a tongue of land of unequal breadth, being in some places a mile, in others only six score yards broad ; that the entrance of this bay, about a mile in width, is obstructed in the middle by a shoal or sand bank, the narrow passages on each side of which may be easily defended by works erected on the two points of land at the entrance, on which two block houses have already been constructed ; that this bay is two miles and a half long, and a mile wide; and that the ele- vation of its banks greatly increases its capability of defence by fortifiea- tions thrown up at convenient points. " There have not been more than a dozen houses built hitherto in York, and these are situated on the inner extremity of the bay, near the river Don. The inhabitants, it is said, do not possess the fairest charaoter. One of them is the noted Batzy, the leader of the German families, whom Cap* tain Williamson accuses the English of decoying away from him, in order to injure and obstruct the prosperity of his settlement. The barracks whicu are occupied by the Governor's Regiment, stand on the bay near the lake, about two miles from the town. The Indiana are for 160 miles round the sole neighbours of York."

In the present year, 1868, the rate is 2s. lid., in the pound, the assessed aimual value of property being JB601,606, while in 1848 it was £121,918, and in 1838, £78,289. In 1888, the population of Toronto had risen to 12,671. In 1841, it ceased to be the seat of Govemmeat, Eingstoii oa the consummation of the Union becoming the temporary capital of United Cuiada, but the pros- perity of the City was now too stable to be affected by the withdrawal of the Governor and the Government officials, and in 1842 the population was found to number 16,886. In 1848 it had risen to 28«608. In 1849,«b the adoption of the system of alternate Parliaments, Toronto again became the seat of Government.

The design, bow- ever, was abandoned, aud the builaing is now oooupied by the femi^e prvtients of the Provincial Lunatic Asylum. A little to the North of the new University Buildings is the Magnetic I and Meteorological Observatory, which was founded by the Imperial Goverument in 1840, as one of a chain of Observatories, dcaigned to place the science of Meteorology on a scientific basis. The observations are at present superintended by Professor Kingston. ■* Trinity OoUege, in connection with the Church of England, situated on the Nortji side of Queen street, near the exhibition grounds, is a handsome building of the third period of pointed English architecture, which pre- vailed in the 14th and 16th centuries.

ThM Jiotsin Eoute^ opened last year, from its capacity, and the complete* neat of its arraogemeots for accommodating travellers and permanent boarders in tlie most perfect style of modem hotel-keeping, has superseded and shut up nearly the vhole of the other first-class hotels of the Oity.

The dining-room is 60 feet long and 80 broad, capable of seating quite 200 persons.

We beliere there is do city on the continent of its size which is pestered with so many saloons and taverns, nnd if the morals and habits of our peopi" were to he judged by thi» ciiterioD, the stranger would form a verv uufavorabU aiiJ unjust opiui4)n. Among these saloons, however, thtre are some worthy of particular mention, and none more so than the King Street, between Church and Toronto ».: reeta. It is a large and superbly furnished establishment witU all the appliances for comfort and luxury. The choicest viands aru here prepared, and tlie most tempting liquids distilled. No attention is wanting on the port of the proprietors, Messrs. Oablisle & McConket, to mnko tlic place ti popular resort, and we are glad to know that they are succeeding so well. In connection with the saloon there is an excellent Oigar and Tobacco establishment, under the proprietorship of Mr. Spoonrr, where may be had all grades and descripUons of the " Boothin^ herb," and where you will be met with the greatest courtesy and attention. Another establishment in the citj, deservedly popular, known as the APOLLO SALOON AND OONOEBT ROOM, on King Street, deserves mention.
