As already stat«d, the walls are chiefly cast iron aud glass. They are 16 feet 10 inches high. The girders, which form their upper line, are supported by 44 iron iB<»lumns, dividing th^ entire building into 48 com- partments of 1 6 feet Each of tlie»e compartments is filled up with wooden frame work to a height of five feet, arid *ith three circular headed sashes 8 feet 6 inches in height by 5 feet wide, each cpntaining 16 lights 31 incheifby 14|. llie Interior of the building is divided by colunros 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 lonii- tudlnafly by two rows of columns, forming a central parallelogram 80 teei by 32 feet, and two wide 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 art 64 feet by 16 feet each. In the eastern corner of the northern Ji-i^nsept there h a saloon 16 feet square fitted up for the accommodation of the ladies in attendance at the e^ibitiou ^ in the western corner there is ah office of similar dimensions for the Secretary ; aqd in the centre of this same tran- sept an orchestra 82 feet by 20 is erected, having a semi-circular front of plain truss railing, supported by a row of wooden eolutiins. It contains four rbWB of seats, also semi-cirbulai*, for the accommodation of the per- formers, and immediately behind these there ia a platform seven feet square for the reception of %n organ. ^ \. In the centre of the nave arid immediatelv in front of the orchestra a fbtratain is er^ted to play daring the exhibition. „»., j The entrance transept docra are 20 feet wide by 14 feethigh, Ml finished uniform with the walls. Tho main building is well ventilated, havmg forty'-foui* ventilator^ S feet^ by 4 feet 9 inches at regular intervals round the waTld immediately tjrtder the gallery floors. Four snbstant'.al staire, 7 feet 6 inches ivide. ewih having- two liandings, lead to the galleries, which extend round the whole building, with a width of floor of 16 feet, guarded at itt iiiner.extr«nity hya plairt tuussitaaling S 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 frow the gallery flooriJfci;i;'mipg ,w ardi of 24^ feet spaftfrftui the, esives. The aisles are each lighted by onp window 64 feet by 16 feet wide^ with side lights 3 feet high, the ffarnes of which represent girders.

Parson Brothers, who claimed that io the diffusion of the light they wore superior to those of Bnglisb or American manufacture. Mr. H. Q. Booth, Toronto, bad a creditable stand of tin, copper, and bratts, whilst Messrs. Moore A Co., of Hamilton, showed Home good Japan ware. ¥'. Wm. H. Rioe, of Torpntp, excelled in wire work, uae of the beat Hpo* oiinens of which was an ingsnioua rat-trap, well calculated to deceive tiie most wary of those very troublesome customers. Mr. Rice also Mhewod wire cloth and wire hoop of capital workmanship. Mr. D. R. Wallace, of Montreal, a sewing ritaolune. Mr. H. Tates, of Brantford, a slide vat >u indicator for a locomottve. Mixed oils — both vegetable and animal-^so as to constitute what the exhibitor denominated "anti-friction gruarc," wt-rc shewn by Mr. Joseph Archer, of Toronto, who states that they neither freeze on the machmerr in winter nor drop off it during the hottest days of summer — a rare combination of qualities. Mr. Israel Seaman shewed a good rotatory grain separator, and also a bran duster and smut mill. Mr. Geo. Oampbell, of Toronto, blacksmith's portable iron forges, A new sew- ing machine — an improvement on the many improvements made on stitcl)- ing machinery since the " song of the shirt" saw the light — was busily at work under tne direction of Blessrs. Butler dc Co., of Newmarket, its inv«;ii- ventors. It is designed for family use, and does single stitching in a man- ner which is almost faultless. Mr. John O'Malley, of Toronto, a shingle edging machine. Mr. John Gartshaw, of Dundas, specimens of finishing in iron. We arrive next at the north-east corner of the Palace, which is largely occupied by the goods of Messrs. Thomson, Keith & Co., Toronto. The chief articles in the space allotted to them are a gasometer and fit- tings, employed in the manufacture of gas from rosin oil, aud which it pro- duces at |2 per 1000 feet If applied to detached country dwellings, it would entirely relieve the inmates thereof of the miseries incident u> a state of semi-darkness during our long wmter nights. It might be also used with advantage and profit in some of the imperfectly lighted hotels with which the Province abounds. The same firm also exhibited a fine assortment of chandeliers, and some veir excellent baths, &c. Mr. Wni. Hodson, of Toronto, brought specimens of handiwork in the shape of Avin- dow sashes, doors, blinds, Ac, whose chief merit were that they had been made to assume a beautifully smooth sur&ce without the aid of sand gaper. Mr. Wm. Tait, of Duart, a set of agricultural rakes and forks. . R. Parkes, of Toronto, wood turnings. The prisoners in the Penitentiary at Kmgston sent the results of their industry in the form of rakes and cradles and washingboards, all of which were very creditable specimens of workmanship. l%e goods were shewn by Messrs. Thomson & Burns, Toronto, agents for Messrs. Drummond & Co., Kingston. Mr. M. B. Veasley, of HamUton, and Messrs Smith & Caull Toronto.' S. F.

Gamble, patent self-fastening metallic roof.njf ;, Mr. R6bert S. Dodd, Ayr, specimena of roofers' works. Some well-fiqiahed plumbers' work was shown by Mr. Harding, of Toronto. He had beer piimps, improved baths and last and most interesting of all, patent inouoator for hatching cliickens. The in- mates of the Penitentiary do not excel in agricultural implcraent^i 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 beet steel toy maker in the country. Messrs. Chewett «& Co., Kingston, showed samples of axles. Printers' " chases " and horse shoes were exhibited together by Mr. Henry Doane, of Toronto, who E roved himeolf a friend to the travelling biped as well as quadruped, by is machines for improving the shape of that auxiliary to boot-making which the crabbed cobbler is charged with having thrown at his wife. There were likewise horse shoes by Mr. Wrlliam Howard, of Streetsville, as well as by Mr. George Savage, of Toronto, Mr. Hugh Ross, of York Mills, and Mr. "Wm. Mactaffy, of Brampton, the latter of whom also ex- hibited some excellent steel carriage springs. Mr. S. Webster, of Elora, showed tin ware, and Messrs, Mitchell, MuiTay & Co., of Hamilton, a good collection of nails. Mr. Alex. Messer, of Toronto; Mr. Robert Ord, of Niagara; and Mr. Thomas Smith, of Hamilton, had each self acting car-couplers, by the em- pl(»yment of which to railway carriages it would seem to be a matter of the utmost diflSculty for them to play truant to the engine. Mr. Edward Preston sent som pretty specimens of miniature saws; and Mr. George Cummings, of Niagara, a well got-up slide steam-valve. Children's car- riages, of handsome manufacture, were shown by Mr. Elijah Palmer, of Toronto; Messrs. Starr and Pingally, of Cobourg; and Mr. W. Pingally, Jun., Toronto. Messrs.

A fanning machine, worked by clock machinery, with fly-whisk attached, was shown by Mr. E. Jasper, of Toronto. On the stand by its side were turned broom-handles, by Mr. W. Tait, of Duart. Of a verity we are a butter-loving people, else why so many churns exhibited ? Machines for turning cream into butter were represented in endless variety, but perhaps none excelled that of Mr. J. W. Phillips, of Thomhill, — a churn with vertical rotary motion. A press for making cheese, shewn by Mr. John Gilbert, of Sidney, was also deserving notice. Patent pails and tuba were entered by Mr. Harding McConnell, of Vienna, A washing machine was shown by Mr. Johj Nott, of Reach, and a very handsome iron cheese press by Mr. Henry Aj^new, of Toronto* Specimens of iron ot good quality wore shewn by the Marmora Iron Company.

The prinoidal exhibitors are Messrs. Allen Wilcock, Toronto, Geo. Tattle Toronto, J. D. Humphreys, Toronto, Geo. Murray, York Township, J. H, Anderson, Hamilton, Richard Harper, Whitby, (a urmer who shews twenty. varieties of magnificent fruit,) E. 0. Oampbell, Niaeira, A. McKenzie, York Township, Saml. Wood, Etobiooke, R.

Lesslie, Toronto, who shew^^twenty varieties of both pears and apples. The show of pears is not yery large, but some fine specimens are sent by John Gray of Toronto, 8. B. Harrison, Toronto, E. 0. Oampbell, Niagara Falls, W. H. Rea, Port Dalhousie, and W. Smith, Brantfoi-d, both apples and pears. Mr. N. Malo of Niagara Falls sends specimens of some apples grown in 186*7, as a curiosity ; their age, however, scarcely compensates for their bad appearance. Of peaches there is not a large quantity, but still quite sufficient to shew that if greater attention were paid to their cultivation we should not be under the necessity of importing any from our Aiuerican neighbours. The principal exhibitors are Messrs. Eli Varey, Niagara, John Brown, Toronto, and J. H. Anderson, 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 yery unpropitious. The Hamilton and Brockville Horticvdtural Societies have both sent collections of fruit, the latter especially making a very fine shew. Most conspicuous is a basket filled with grapes and other fruits all nicely arranged, sufficient to tempt the least epicurean of the race. These con- tributions of societies is a creditable feature of the show, and we believe will lead to some arrangement for horticulturists from all sections meeting in convention. Some natural curiosities in the shape of fancy gourds are exhibited by Mr. Robert Wells, of Toronto. A large quantity of immense cabbages attract great attention. Mr. W. Lowe, of Toronto, has been very suc- cessful in his cultivation of this vegetable. Little, if any inferior, are the samples grown hj S. W. Taylor, Barton ; A. Mason, Toronto ; W. Kil- patnck, Paris ; W. Burgess, Toronto [very fine ;] 0. J. Miller, Niagara ; Judge Harrison, Toronto ; Messrs. J. D. Humphreys of Toronto, and W. Baldwin of Toronto, send specimens of brocoli and letteuce. Rivalling in size the celebrated Spanish onions, are those grown by Messrs. Thomas Wheeler, Toronto ; J. Young, Niagara; J. D. Humphreys, Toronto; John Logan, Toronto; M. Smith, Yorkville; A. W. Taylor, Barton; J. Best, Toronto; George Murray, York Township; Thomas StaripplDorchestAr South ; John Young, Niagara ; R.

Campbell, Nia^ gara,S. W. Harrison, of Toronto, Specimens of plants preserved in books, by H. Kirkwood, of Toronto, are deserving attention. Their natural colour has been retained in a re- markable degree, and they have been so carefully laid out, that they arQ as perfect as when first plucked. Mr. W. Ewins, of Rice Lake, has also a collection. By mentioning a collection of seeds, made by Mr. Qeocge Leslie of To- ronto, and the splendid grapwi of Mr. J. B. Hay, we must conclude our notice of this portion of the ex||iJbition. Ascending the north stair-4ifk«; we find in the north-eastern gallery specimens of BOOKS AND PBINTINR. On the tables were a number of Ledgers and other blank books from the Bindery of Mr. L. Cohn, Toronto. These books hanre metallic backs, and they have also a new improvement in sewing each section, being lined with a ribbon whiph strengthens the back and allows the book to open in a very free manner.

Some articles of embroidery on muslin, by Miss Houghton, Toronto, and a piece of worsted 'work by Miss Gordon, Toronto, completed the contribution to the Ladies' department. In the immediate vicinity of the Ladies' department in the eastern gallery is a very neat case containing specimens of the various articles of perfumery manufactured by Mr. Atkinson, Toronto. Some printed muslins, adapted for ladies' sewed collars, are also exhibited by Alex. Green, Montreal. MATHBICATIOAL INSTBUMENTS, BTO. The first article in this department which claims attention in the eastern gallery is an improved Electro Magnetic Machine, the workmanship of H. Kerr, Streetsville. There are several improvements in this machine not to be seen in those of older date. It is well adapted for Chemical, Medical , and experimental purposes. Dr. Oadwell, Toronto, has on exhibition a brass air-pump, for the relief of persons afflicted with deafness, and a number of artificial eyes, manufactured in Paris. A splendid model of the proposed Georgian Bay Canal, by Mr. K. Tully, showing the proposed route of the canal, and giving a very clear idea of the country through which the canal is to pass, marking the engineering difficulties to be en- countered, is on exhibition. The canal will be one hundred miles in length, commencing at the River Humber, on Lake Ontario, with a branch to the River Don, and an eastern entrance at Ashbridge's Bay, from thence pass- ing through the Holland River, into Lake Simcoe, twenty-ihree miles of this beautiful Lake being available for a Ship Canal. Leaving Lake Sim- coe at Kempenfeldt Bay, the proposed Canal enters the Nottawasaga River, near the point where the Northern Railroad crosses that River, and from thence to Lake Huron, which route can easily be traced by reference to the model. The total amount of lockage is six hundred feet, and the time required for the passing of a ship of one thousand tons from Lake Huron to Toronto Harbor, would be fifty-three hours. "W. Hearn, of Toronto, has on view a large case of Mathematical Instruments, got up in a very supe- rior style. This is one of the most attractive collections in the Exhibition, and from the remarks made by the visitors, they were hardly prepared to see such a splendid assortment of instruments enrolled as Canadian pro. ductions. Mr. Potter, of Toronto, exhibits a large number of Mathematical Instruments, Globes, Surveying and Engineering Instruments, all highly finished, the workmanship being of the finest description. Mr. Potter also shows the Canadian School Apparatus. ■ DEOOKATIva PAINTINGS AND FAFER HANOIKaS DBPARTMBNT. The specimens belonging to this department are placed in the southwest gallery.

In 1807, the inhabitants num- bered 1068, and continued slowly to increase till 1818, when the American war brought calamities on the town, from the disastrous eflfecta of which it took several years to recover, so that in 1821, the population amounted only to 1659. On the 27th April, 1818, York was attacked by the Ameri- can fleet, with a force of about 2,500 men, under General Dearborn. These were landed at the extreme westerly end of the Garrison Oommon, not- withstanding the opposition of a handful of militia, and about 200 regulars of the 8th regiment. When the Americans approached the Garrison, the powder magazine was blown up by order of the British commander, the e^losion killing and wounding some three hundred of the assailants. They succeeded, however, in taking possession of the town and destroyed all the public buildings, but by a capitulation made by Lieutenant Colonel Ohewett and Major Allan, the private property of the citizens was protected. On the 8 1st July following, a body of American troops again landed at York, and plundered the stores of all valuables worth carrying off In 1821, when the town had begun to recover from these disasters, it was visited by Mr. Talbot, the author of some works of travel. Be says the public edifices at that time were a Protestant Episcopal Church — a wooden building with a wooden belfry— a Roman Catholic Chapel, a brick building not then completed, but intended to be " very magnificent** (the present St. Paul's Church on Power Street)— a Presbyterian Meeting House (a brick building, occupying the site of what is now Knoxs Church)— a Methodist Meeting House, situated in a field, nearly on the present site of the Globe Office— the Hospital (the brick building on King Street, now known as the Old Hospital, and occupied as Government Offices) which Talbot describes as the most important building of the Province, '♦ bearing a very fine exterior"— the Parliament House, a brick building erected in 1820 on the former site, and destroyed by fire in 1824 — and the residence of the Lieutenant Governor, a wooden building, " infe- rior to several private houses of the town, particularly that of Rev. Dr. Strachan," says Talbot. The streets, he adds, are reguii-dy laid out, but "onl^jr one of them is in a finished state, and in wet weather those of them which are unfinished are if possible more muddy than the streets of Kingston." In 1830, the population of York was 2860, and from that time forward the town has progressed rapidly, without once suffering any material check. The increase of population in 1831 was upwards of a thousand; in the next year, 1536 ; ip 1883, the increase was only 589, the cholera of 188? having committed sad ravages. In 1834, a strong tide of emigration having now set in towards Canada, the population amounted to 925i. In mat year the toi^-n was incorporated as a city, and its name changed to Toronto, the old Indian name, said to signify •' a place of meeting," the Peninsula between the Bay and the Lake having in former times been the rendezvous of the Grand Council of the Indian tribes.

In 1888, the population of Toronto had risen to 12,6'71.
