When the attraction PTA novelty of the sculpture, the jewellery, the MOnlini, and the gohl and silver work, shall have worn off a little public attention, nut satiated. but stimulated in a new direction, will no doubt be term ,1 to the various articles of practical utility or substantial luxury that occupy the back settlement.; of the Palace of Industry. When that time arrives, visiting to the carriage department of the Crystal Palace will be frequent, where the public will find every variety of vehicular architecture., from the light Irish jaunting car to the substantial. English carriage, varied with the more highly decorated , achievements of our continental neighbours in Belgium, in France, Sardinia, and even in Turkey. To obtain legend:lrd as to what is really good and useful, the visitor had better begin at home, and examine the splendid vehicles which oar English manufacturers, metropolitan and proviaeial, have supplied. The Messrs. Rock, of Hastings, have exhibited a carriage of very elegant coietruetion which they call a didrophis, and which, by a very simple contrivance is made to do duty in three several ca pacities. The top and bottom of the body are distinct, and the former is a duplicate, and according as these peculiari ties of structure arc brought to bear it becomes a different carriage. In its entirety it is a barouche ; by taking off the top it becomes an open carriage ; while the substi tution of the second top make it a el:entice. The mechani cal arrangements for carrying out these transformations are extremely simple and complete. The specimens sent by Mr. 1). Navies, of Wigmore-steel, exhibit many elegant improvements in form, as well as some Inge niote; contrivance. for the facile working of the carriage. They are dome-roofed, thus giving greater altitude, and as a consequence better ventilation, and the anterior panels, which are rounded off, instead of the old angular fiehion, arc filled with plate glass, giving plenty of light in the interior, and a good look-out. But what struck us ns the original and very useful idea in these carriages is what the patent,a. calls (coaehmakers are very fond of Greek) the Attuktobathron step. This step is raised and lowered pimply by the opening of the door, so that the services of the footman may, if necessary, Ise dispensed with. The • ingenuity and practical utility of the contrivance seemed very much to strike the visitors. An invalid carriage is exhibited by Mr. Willoughby, of Oxford -street, which seems admirably adapted fur the purpaw; but the mode of illustrating its use by the presence of a ghastly lay figure stretched at length in the i n side is rather startling, and may have an unpleasaut elfeet on the delicate nerves of valetudinarians. 'l•he mode of entry at the back is in our judgtu:•ut open to objeetiou on the• saute grounds. Mc•.rs. Moore, of Derby, have some splendid specimens of coach building, but there dill nut appear to anything particularly nosed in their construc tion. Messrs. Ilallmarke end Adelbert base confined the-unwise. to the lighter and more elegant deseription of phaeton. One specimen is peculiarly elegant, the body being in the form of n shell, painted a delicate white, awl the decorations quite iu charach r with its classical contour. This carriage look. eineediugly gay, but will probably har monise more with continental notions than the *utterer tastes of this country. The credit of L•mg-acne is also well upheld in the gorgeous fuldelresa elteriut exhibited by Wyburn and Co., which would create quite a sensation on drawing-room day. There are also in this department some' apex iinells 14 that light mud very us. Cul vehicle, the !risk outside jaunting ear. These ears, which can be got up very cheap, are adininehly adapted fur pleasant country roads where the re is ant lOWA tragic, and w hen• the object is to sea the country, to get the fresh air, and to jump up and down without much trouble. liar Mejesty, on her late visit to Ireland, was nitieh pl'•ascd with one upon which the Duke of Linter drove her round the park at Curtin, and was graciously pleased to accept of one for exer cise in Windsor Park. The specimens sent over might, however, be better. and hardly do justice to the principle'. One objection to their use in the inure busy highways about Loniline is, that the legs of the passengers Ix ing turned out ward., are sometime a liable to be whilst off by sonic rival Jelin, who prides leituself in turning a corner to a hair. This defect, however, is remedied in a vehicle contributed by Mosses. Hutton, of Dublin, in which the seats arc placed "fore and aft," as a sailor would say, hut with the draw back of removing th.• horse farther fre in his draught. In more humble departments there is a Victoria omnibus, from Edinburgh, which is quite a monster in its way. It is mail; to holt! 19 passengers inside, with ample centn. space, and the roof almost high enough to stand lee It is to be drawn by three li',rsev abreag, and is intended for Was- I Row. Another omnibus of smeller sire, is remarkable fur its wonderful t'aonnml• of ,:sae', mail the ingenious contrivance by which tit• door is made to open on either side. The patent., , Mr. Rock, has, by paring away the interior sheathing and making the witolms slid e laterally on the outside, c ottrivel to give the p isoaigers Rix inches more space fur their legs, and the door, when opened, runs round an iron semicircle instead of turning on a permanent hinge, fm) that the conductor is enabled to take up passen gers on either side ti ith equal facility. Among the foreign carriage, the specimens exhibited are more rein:irk:lMo for showiness in the details than high perfection in construe that. The hest are from Belgium, but the manufacturer rejoices in the not very uncommon English name of Jones, so that it is doubtful whether we may not claim some small share in their excellency. There is a small ratan. from Turin which is worth inspectinn, from the very curious method in which wood is twisted into the necessary form.

On Thuminy n puhlic meeting of exhibitors in the Crystal Palace took place at tnisby-hall, Bishonsgate-street, to consider their position with r,tereisee to the fireat hibitiiin. Mr. 11. Wi N ciiN, uf Birmingham, in the chair. j Mr. JOHN TEHAY moved the first resolution—" That this meeting views with regret the stringent mune of policy which the Royal Commissioners have punned, and ' are pursuing. toward, the exhibitors." Ile consider, d the language of this resolution was per Wetly justifiable, both on , ',untie grounds and for reasous which affected the particular interests of exhibitors. The ;snit,. complained of wi basing heels adopted by the Royal Commissioners was that ex hibitor bad been et:hided from the building except upon 1 such terms as few, if any, could submit to without compro . miring their dignity as men. Thu exclusion of the ex hibitors was contrary to what the co iiiiii issioners had led them to expect, and was not only calculated to wound the feelings of the products of this vast display of industry, ' but was injurious to that spirit of emulation which the Ex- I hibition was intended to evoke. (hear, hear.) At the various exhibitions at the Society of Arts exhibitors were , admitted, and indeed it was impossible to conceive a lIVITeet exhibition without the presence of those who ' had contributed to it. The strongest ground, however, ' why the exhibitors ill Coe prsent instance hail a right to admission was that the commissioners hail promised in a do . cement published by then, on the I s t o f January last that there should be no restraint up:, them. Ile could not con ceive why this principle had not been carried out. It had been urged by wow that un account of the commercial be nefits which were likely to result front the Exhibition, they had no right to expect admission. Now, this he denied, inasmuch a+ many of the exhibitors, from the nature of their goods could not derive any advantage. He hoped the wed would give them credit pier being actuated by higher stud holier motives thou those of mere gain, and he wan quite sure it would be admitted that exhibitors were in spired by the example of the highest subject in the realm in his most worthy attempt to tiring nations together, and to establish an universal brotherhood. (hear.) If enter) ' • g hubs ideals wished to profit in a pecuniary sense by the great Industrial Exhibition, they should endeavour to establish an emporium in this great city which would be accessible to the citizens of the world, and when their goods might be seen and volt; but let not the splendour of this great and glorious enterprise be sullied by mercenary practices. Ilia opinion was that what they were now seeking would he granted to them, if they made known their sentiments ' with due moderatiou, and, whilst urging their claims with dignity and firmness, did not forget their character, as gen tlemen. (hear, hear.) If they succeeded in accomplishing their object, let thou at once juin heart and hand with the commissioners . , and aid them in th e i r endeavours to make this great and glorious undertaking what in such case it would undoubtedly bee • the mightiest effort to humanise and ennoble mankind that Lul ever yet been re corded in the history of this country. (Cheers.) Mr. RICHARIM seconded the resolution. Mr. P. J. DODD objected to the terms of the motion, and ' suggested that it should be couched in more mod, rate and respectful terms. (Cries of "No, no.") The royal commisdoners occupied too high a position to rep der it possible fur them to act from any degraded motives—(laughter)--and therefore he thought that ' their con Wet ought not to be called in question. In his opinion the exhibitors were nut entitled to free admission into the building. (Oh, oh.) By what motives were they , actuated in contributing to the grand display of goods in j the Crystal Palace ? Ile confessed his own motives were not those of ambition, but those of gain, his sole desire be ing to make I ' self popular in his business. (Oh, oh.) lie had dune his part towards the Exhibition, but in all he had done he had sought only popularity, and he was quite J persuaded that many others —although they were not so candid us he was—kul been influenced by similar feelings. (Nu, no, and signs of impatience.) It did nut believe in the "platonic " feelings disolayed by the gentleman who proposed the resuluti iiii i fur he was quite sure that the great body of exhibitors were impelled by motives of self interest, and he thought that the executive committee ought not to be embarrassed in the responsible duties entrusted to them. They had throughout be e n a ct ua t e d b y th e most h onour- I able motives, and he, therefore, felt that the exhibitors j j ought to approach them with that re s pect which was due to • I them. Ile had no amendment to suggest, but he eon-! ' sidered it his duty to oppose the resolution. (Cries of " Waste of time t") The resolution woo then put and carried. Mr. HARRIS proposed the second resolution: " That the free admission of all exhibitors, under such restrictions lonly WI might be necessary to guard against abuse, would i be just to the exhibitors, and highly conducive to the gene ral success of the undertaking." lie maintained that tho I exhibitors had a perfect right of admi-.inn so long as their propene was in the building, and he could not for a moment doubt that out of the 11, 1 0110 exhibitors there would have been a larger number present upon this occasion if there had not been some potent influence to prevent them. lie could have wished that the resolution was worded in stronger language, were it not for the fact that the royal commissioners were entitled to the fullest respect from sovereignhusband i o re f o u t f iiis:tanroiccpe• .r o p po r t u n ity talt itt ya t hetof their erommuma b d. head. ieor in nli. lie hoped, them, considering that they were a body of gentlemen with tu t i h in( e d..,.r,aie c% wouldth d' ,sail slum upon this subject, and that they would accord to the I exhibitors as a favour tint which they might have de manded as a right. (Hear, hear) Mr. NICHOLLS seconded the resolution, and remarked that, unless they succeeded in their present endeavour, they should not call the Great Exhibition the exhibition of in dustry, hot the ethibitiqp of injustice.

Then cam', a* a senti ment, "The Foreign Gov, rtiments who has: tontributed to the praiseful union of nations, by sending works to the Exhibition." To this toast Herr Lefrvw, the Prus sian eofmnissioner, responded in Freneh, expressing, in ahimated terms ' his admiration of the mann e r in whi c h Englani had de dicated herself to promote the glory of the peaceful arts. When the applan,e which hi, Meer- Cations drew forth had subsided, the President gave "The health of the foreign artists who had contributed to the Exhibition, especially those who had then h, ttttt urea them with their company.

His short address ho delivered with straightforwanl energy, and lie was loudly cheered by the company. M. du Seigneur, the sculptor of St. Michael and Satan, representisl with unmet modesty of manner the French, and Senior Monti spoke on leehalf of the Italian artists. Senior Monti managed to 0w15.... hi., thanks in English, anal hoped that hi, host, might have the-ir pre sent hospitalities aeknowleslged to them on the banks of the Po and the Tiber. M. du Seigneur adhered to his native language. Herr Kiss spoke in German, and in compliment to the foreigners present, the l'residcnt pro posed the toast in French, as the most common medium of cotnumnication among permns of different countries. This gives some idea of the polyglot character of Ow entertain ment, which was further ether-hied by a spa wit its II than from Signor Ileui, in acknowledgment of the toast `• Rome as a School for Sculpture." Mr. Scott Russell, Se.retary to the Royal Commission, ably responded to the following sentiment, which was given by the Chairman:—•' The Great Exhibition, may it contribute to the welfare of each nation, while contributing to the friendly union of all." Mr. Scott Russell warmly eulo gised Herr Kiss's merits as an artist, and his modesty of character. He stated that his talents were little !appreciates' even by his own countrymen, and haul I first been O red in their true light byt e Great Exhibi- I tion. He concludes' by proposing the health of Sir Charles Eastlake, their chairman, an President of the Royal Aca demy. Sir Charles !Eastlake, in acknowledging the compli , ment, said that it WUN a subject of great regret to the members of the Royal Academy, that the works of sculptuse sent to their annual exhibition were confined in so s mall and ill lighted a place. This was loudly cheered by the company, and the chairman continued. Th e aisrulvantages he said I were made apparent loth in the display at Westminster-hall some time ago, and in the Crystal Palace at present. This again drew forth loud cheep, and he concluded by saying that the members of the Royal Academy " lived In hopes that they would be able to enlarge the limits and immure the light of the present sculpture room. " The British i Artists who have contributed to tho Exhibition " was the next toast proposed, and oft a general call from the COM.
