Harriman's, ntar the Pamlico Pier; others are con templated. This being diet:it of the questions and answer,, Mr. Ross concluded by onserving that he had only farther to add that the commissioners relied very much upon the general dieoretion of the local committee. It should be understood that though the comnitssioners were emphatic in fixing the latest time (or goads to be sent to the Ist of March, yet they were willing to listen to representations Ifrom local committr es as to unavoidable delays. Mr. SCHWABE trederstood the oommisai, nen not to insist on inee seen as prints being in London by the let of March, where it wee II presented that they would be liable to spoil by lying so long; in such cases, if local c immittees gave an undertaking, that they were satisfied the go ids would be forthcoming in two or three week. later, it would be sada factory. The answer, therefore, to the questi .n ' s. Would any goats he received in London after the Ist of March," was "No ;" but at the same time a discretion was given to the general committee, where they were satisfied the indul gence would not be abused, that they might apply for an extension of time in such particular cases. Mr. BUTTERWORTH übset ved, as to Eew designs in fancy fabrics for spring and summer good., • limit to the let of March would Include the very best of the season. The Bunion of Ilsrecniunrien suggested that no extension of limo should be allowed by the commith e, except on this principle—that an arrangement for ouch indulgence should have been sought and obtained from the local committee before the 14th id Peruery, when a meeting of the com mittee cud bo held to apply to the royal cotomisai mere for such extension. The suegeation was afterwards adopted in a resolution moved by his lordship, and secondeu by Mr. Fairbeirn. Mr. SCHWABE said parties fitting their own counters would be allowed to put in drawers underneath, in which they would be allowed to keep !Aries as a reserve to substi tute for pieces of the saute kind, when they bad become uotit to eznibit, from being soiled or otherwise deteriorated. Mr. FAIRBAIHN said, as thine would be machinery at work producing fabrics, such as yarn, and cloth, and prints, it was asked of the commissioners, would the: is good, be allowed to be sold during the eshibiuon t The answer was, "Certainly not, during the elhibition, but afterwards you may take them nits the City, or anywhere else, for the pur pose of disposing of them." Mr. Rosa, in illustration of the principle to be adopted, acid they wool I allow the Illustrated London News to be printed thi re, the white paper to be taken into the build ing and removed again immediatily alt• a passuig through the machine, anti disposed of through the ordinary channels elsewhere, but not to be sold in the building. Mr. FAIRVAIRE, in answer toe question, said he under• stood oat water would be supplied by the commissioners for machinery and other purpoies, but not for any dirty pro cesses of manufacture. The proceedings, attir same further observations, termi nated with a vote of thanks to the deputation and to the mayor for presiding. LONDON PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. MIS UNIICONDITIONALLT.

Most of the tuts stated have already appeared in this paper, 'hat the fallowing summary, issued by the Institute, may interest many readers: The paper, which was of very considerable length, com menced by characterising the first attempt to concentrate vitals the compel. of a few acres, species- as of the produe. tiv• Midwife, of all nations, sia a" great experiment," worthy of bring ttied upon a snide commensurate with the y of the industrial teroUrces of this country.

The subject then naturelly aiyided itself into the consideration of the requisites demanded—the deeign—and the actual construction of the building. The features of cli the buildings in which pre visas rthibitions had here held, both abroad end at home, were then carefully reviewed, end the points of difference between the present szemopolttan exhibition and all its predeces ors were oistincly enunciated, cud shown to have induced the invitation to the world at large, to enntribute their sugges tions for the holding, the results of which were shown to the puhtic in the Theatre of the Institution of Civil Engineers, in the two hundred and forty plans there exhibited. Nona of these plans being found to embrace the necessary requi sites, the Royal Commissioners devised a plan, for the exam. *ion of which tenders w. re invited in June. 1850. The reeervadou having been made, that bow; fide tenders for any construction, offering greater advantages than that pro. posed by the Commissioners, would be consid,red, Mr. Paxton nrought forward his proposition; and it being con tended, that certain advantages in celerity of c matron:l on, :entity of removal, the adeptability of the materials to the required forme, and the amount of cost, were iiihrrint in the design for the proposed structure, to he entirely coth reed of wood, iron ' and slam, the other tenders were IreJettecl, and that of Meters.

A transept, 408 feet long and 72 feet ai le, intersected the building at right angles in the centre ; this transept was covered with a sernithircular roof, springing at • la ight of 64 lest from the lisel of the ground, and making the entire height 100 feet. The details of the cons radian were very mihntela given, from the concrete filling of the holes in the around, uuller ems's support, through tie bath plate, she columns, flinches its diameter, the connecting piths', to which were attached the girders fir the galleries, the second and third sets of columns and the roof trusses, the box gutters and the " Paxton " gutters, which latter were intended to provide at the same time for c 'nettling a etty the rain from the roof, and the condensed nadsture from the inside. Tie total area of the ground ftror was equal to 772,784 square feet, and that of the gallrries to 217,100 square feet. Details were also given of the mode of conveying the rata water, dca., into the adjoining Bowen, through the interior of the supporting columns; of the ventilation by meths of arts of I ',lyres, of gelvanied cast iron, planed between the columns of the side an:. s, and in the upper nem of the roof; of the supply of water for the extinction of fire, and for the supply of the fountains; and of the experiments fur testing tee girds re and trusses, by the hydraulic pries erected in the building,and by winch the strength of the whole was proved before they were used. Is s ramming the power and dexterity with whist the design has been realised by Means. Fox, Henderson, and Co.; or, in other words, in the actual construed in of the buddine, it was necessary to bear th mind, that their tender was only verbally accept, d on the 26th of July, 1860, that possession of the site wall obtained on the &hi of July, that the first column WAS fined on the '26th of September, and at the present time (only 145 working days since the commencement) but little of the vast building remained to be finished. To give an idea of the vast size of this building, it was noticed, that the width of the main avenue wee within 10 feet double that of the nave of Saint Paul's Cathedral, whilst its length was more than fur times as great. Tie walls of 8 . Paul's were 14 feet thi. k, those of the glue building in Hyde Park were only 8 inches. St. Paul's occupied 3,5 rears in building, whilst the Hyde Park budding would be finished in less than half that number of weeke. The celerity of the construction was very remark. able. As many as 308 girders had been delivered on the ground in one week. Seven of the great Mewl of the nave were raised in the day. Etch man fined about kOO superficial feet of glass per day. In order to perform that work, it wan rectory, to devilse and employ various contrivances for economising leb9ur ; curb as the mph bar machine, the gutter rnact.ine, the morticing mathise, the palatine machine, the glazing machine, besides many others of an equally ingenious nature—all of which wen described; and, when hauling to the details, it was unia r ; sally felt, that England prosecuted mechanietel and physical enemies tat exceeding those which gave form and being to the moat celebrated monuments of antiquity. In the coarse of the paper, Mr. D:gby Wyatt (the author), to whose, from the commencement, had been wrested the active superintendence of the esnsiruction of the building, paid a well merited tribute of praise to Mr. C. H. Wild and Mt. Jsren Jones, who had been associated with him; to Mr. , Bury and Mr. Brunel, who, as members of flat building committee, had made very valuable euggestions ; as well as to Messrs. 1 , ..x and klei.derson, and to Mr. &cottager, Mr. J. Cochrane, and other., for their , exertions in the execution of the construction ; and be concluded by reminding we member., that the . weicht of responsibility, the arduous duty cf supervision, the honour of awing u the muter mind, t, weigh the requisites, to determine the design, and to govern the construwion of this greet apparatus, had been reserved for Mr. Cubist. 'the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers. It was announced that the discussion of the paper would take place at the maim of neat Titeedey, Jeneary 21st.
