The Crystal Palace Police force consists of a captain, lieut. commandant, four lieutenants, four sergeants, and four companies of men, who are on duty night and day in the Palace, to protect the immense amount of property exposed.  Captain Dupont, U. S. N., is the nominal head, we believe, of the corps, although the immediate command is in the hands of Lieut. Commandant Bowyer, the efficient assistant of Chief Matsell, of the city police.  Lieut. Bowyer is assisted by Lieut. Peale of Company A, Lieut. Carey of Company B, Lieut. Ricard of Company C, and Lieut. Jamison of Company D. The uniform of the corps is a tight single-breasted, dark blue frock-coat, navy pattern, and light blue pants, with a black stripe down the outside seam. The cap is dark blue cloth, with the letters "Crystal Palace Police" on the front.  The belts are black patent leather, and in a throg on the left side is a short club of lignumvitae or other hard wood. The star worn is similar in shape to that of the metropolitan police, and has in the centre a representation of the Palace, with the works "Crystal Palace Police," surrounding it. The star, buttons, and other metal ornaments, of the lieut. commandant are of gilt; those of the four lieutenants are of silver, and all the officers wear white belts, and the first officer wears two rows of gilt lace outside the stripe on the pants, and two on the cuffs and collar of the coats.
