Everywhere the lawns of extraordinary activity in referents to the Exhibition begin to force themselves upon itttentioas The American papers mach us with long &hates as to the with which American di legates to the Gnat Exhibition should be enve loped; fortiqn 110140 11..4 both political and scientific, are antitiputing reunions with other societies of kin dred etmpathic,c ; the industrial congress of America has dt;spatchi d a dele;rate to London, to sound the note for a gnat meeting . of them tisanis of all nations, to be held in Loudon in the course of the ensuing summer; streams of carts make up nn unbroken line from the variou. railway stations to the great building in Ilyde-pirk • the Exhibition and its promises are the invariable topics of conversation la every enburhun omnibus, enter it when you may; taTern-keeprrs arc making cagar bargains witr their next-door neighbour, for the occupation of their houses; doors are living punched through the walls of one tenement to connmt it with the next • paint- era and earpenterb are busy in every direction — , the paving autlionties are looking to the roads; and on all h• uu ls an unaccountable, unlimited harvest of gold expected. Bakers expect to Dell bread by the cart-laud; buteht.r, think that it will he unneemiary . . to part the leg than the body of dm bullock; grocei; beheve that it will be superfluous trouble to break up their sugar-looves; brewery hold it to be impos sible to brew sufficient beer to supply the impending demand; and in the goose fetetheni of an attic bed imaginative Lodging-house-keepers look to find the fabled eggs of gold. In the provinces workmen are In a high state of excitement ; while tradespeople. on the contrary, dread a diminished balance in their books us the inevitable risult of this vast national movement towards the nu•tropelis. In Liver- the policy of recommending - every traveller to London to start from Inane with his week's precisions ut a basket, us an act of justice to his trading neigh bours, has been freely talked of; but is not likely to be carried out. The activity on the part of agents for securing lodgings is very great ; and in all quar ter. lodginga are being caught ue, not at exorbitant, but at sufficiently high priers. Each class of opinion is preparing its demonstration. While a congress of the artisans of the world will be in high debate on the intricacies of the labour question, the temperance intend to hold great public bnokfusts—to march in • a body (if permitted, to the great building in Ilyde park --to hold a solemn meeting in Exeter-hall, and to du other thing's tending to advertise their dogma. Even the chess platers of the world have caught up the excitement, and Staunton will be called_ upon to checkmate Germany, Spain, Italy. and Prussia. Literary men have also promised to seize the exciting monsent fur the indieatiou of the justice of inter national copyright ; and Boyer is making Titanic exertions for the commencement of his enokery, with which he will challenge eomparison from any quartet of the globe. Old ladies are speculating as to the Neely of their poodles if any Chinamen land at London-bridge ; and old maids promise to cheat the mutton-pie man by being doubly watchful over their tabbies. Hopis and fears of the most violent nature tem ugitating the • Is of the speculative, the am bitious, nod the nervous; while not a few, who would appear to have more than a thimbleful of Spirt:ln blood, shrug their shoulders when the en grossing topic is brought before them, and opine that there is nothing in the scheme. Amid this increasing excitement the authorities pursue their labours steadily; and gnedually the mares of the vast ma chinery will fall int. due order. On one important point, however, great doubts and misconceptions appear to be abased, us mat Ix' gathered from the following paragraph from the f itrlis/c Patriot A meeting of the Carlisle emennittee was held last Thursday, in the committee-room of the Town-hall, for the pc rape of appointing a juror. Mr. 3PGibbon asked if the juror would be paid, as his expenses would be heavy ? Mr. P. J. Dixon thought he would be paid, but they had no information to that effect. Mr. Nome moved that Mr. Natoon, the hun. secretary, be requested to write to the commissioners, and ask the question, and how. Mr. Parker seconded the motion, Which. was udopted. The meeting was adjourned till bloodily evening, to give the committee an opportu nity of tleinking of some eligible person for the o ffi ce of juror." There are many arguments to be brought forward on buth sides of the question, as regards the payment ur n u n-payment of jurors; but it is singular the commissioners should have overlooked this point in their instructions to local committees. But the general activity and excitement we have spoken of does not affect all who propose to contri bute to the " World's Fuir." There are some " very slow couches" conecrned. The Executive Committee yesterday hesied their final warning notice respecting the receipt of goods, and we deem it of so much importance to exhibitors who have not as -set sent in their goods, that we give it ut length, we follows : On Wednesday evening, the 2nd April, the temporary entrance into the building fur carts, waggons, and carriages of every description, will he closed, to enable the flooring of the budding to be completed; and no articles will be ad mitted into the building which cannot be brought in by hand, :red without the aid of machinery fur lifting, eke. Even such articles cannot be admitted if they should exceed the width of the entrances—namely, 6 feet li inches. After the 3rd April no packing caws will be admitted within the building. Any articles brought to the Exhibition be tween the 3rd April and the 10th April must be delivered unpacked, and in such a way as to cause no litter in the building ; in fact, they must be delis weed as they would be brought into a private residence. On and after the 3rd April, any articles sent through carriers, which require to be unpacked. will be deposited outside the building. and there until the owners or their agents attend to unpack them. All furvign articles must be taken to the east cud ppf the building ; all colonial articles to the south entrance ; and all British articles to the west cud of the building. Although the reception of article, after the 10th April will obviously occasion great inconvenience, in creased expense., and somewhat jeopardise the punctual opening of the Exhibition, the executive committiv will not absolutely - refuse to admit them, but they feel it necessary to discourage as much as possible such late arrivals. Accord ingly, they give notice that articles can only be received a ft er the 10th April, and until the 20th, subject to the payment of the following fees to the general fund: Every article weighing under 2P , lhs., 10s.; every article weighing above 214 and under 5611,4., IL ; every article weighing above 6611 r,., 21.; and at the rate of 1/. additional for every Md.., or fraction of 2Slbs., above Mb*. These rules apply to all articles except those specially exempted by the Exe cutive Committee. The Executive Committee particularly nine.. that all maids may be finally arranged on Monday, the 2lst April, in the way it is proposed they should be exhibited. in order that the Executive Committee may then proceed to having the building put in order for the adatirioa of the public. These regulations apply generally to foreign as well as to native 'products, but the Executive Com mittee having taken into consideration the unavoid able difficulties which foreign exhibitors have to en counter ill the transmission of their goods, do not intend to subject them to the operation of the clause by which the reception of article* sent in after the 111th of April is made contingent on the payment of fees proportioned to their weight. It is obvious that the foregoing rules have been framed for the purpose of urging intending contributors to immediate exer tion. Some of the fictign compartments are still entire.ly vacant, and the greater number are only scantily provided with materials for anything ap proaching to an effective display. In fact, Tunis is at present the only foreign locality which can boast of having forwarded its full complement of articles for exhibition. All the packages from that territory have been deposited in the building for some days past. and are in course of arrangcmeat by native assistants. On the British side of the build- ing, all the sections into which it is divided. with the exception, perhaps of those appropriated to ma chinery, include large numbers of laggards. Many exhibitors retain their productions for the gratifica tion of a not unreasonable or unnatural vanity by displaying them in their own immediate Localities. Bat there are many, we fear, for whom that pallia tion (..:11100t be pleaded, and who loiter over the com pletion of their articles. regurdlessof the near approach of the day when the irrevocable sentence of " Times post" must be pronounced by the royal commissioners. This class of pemons might perhaps receive a strong stimulus to instant exertiou by a serious endeavour • to comprehend the position they will occupy, if ex cluded from participation in the forthcoming Exhi bition. Genius, as manifested in the highest depart ments of mechanical science, scarcely recognises "the inqxe,sible," and genuine talent, expansive and irre pressible, seconded by a resolute will and the irate consciousness of power, breaks down with ease all obstacles which interpose between it and the accom plishment of its settled purpose. They may there etre rest assured that all those who are "tees late," however plausible may he the excuses put forward for their dilatoriness, will be ranked, by the general consent of the public, amongst the " meapa bles" of the trade or branch of manufac tures in which they are engaged. That there will be eventually a deficiency of products ur a marked incompleteness in any of the compartments into which the exhibiting surfaise of the building is ellfasided, em extremely unlikely, provided that exhi bitors will have faith in their own energies, and exert them while time serves. France, we regret to observe, has not yet begun to push forward with vigour the details of the arrangements which must be carried out in order to ensure an effective display in the large space assigned to her. A failure in that quarter would be u contingency demanding deep re gret. Iler own splendid expositions have contributed in no trifling degree to correct the erroneous traditional ideas which were formerly prevalent • in this country respecting the industrial energies of Frenchmen. We have been taught, in the moat practical manner, by these collections of the fruits of their labour, that they can work as effectively as they can fight, and that the peaceful achievements of in ' dustry offer allurements to them little less potent than the sterner triumphs of war. We cannot believe that on the present occasion, when all the nations of the world are engaged in a struggle for industrial supremacy, they will lag behind in the race, or desert the opportunity possessed by them of taking their place in the forentost rank. We have already referred to the good example of alacrity set by Tunis, and yesterday we were much gratified with a casual inspection to which we were admitted of n tiortion of the goods fin-warded from that territory. They consisted chiefly of specimens of the clothing worn by the upper classes of the country. They were elaborately ornumented with gold and silver embroidery. There were also some summer saddles and horse furniture decorated in a similar manner. Amongst the plainer articles were specimens of carpets, blankets, shawls, and oho; s. In the French compartment a party of native artisans are putting together a huge east-iron machine, which performs the duties of a self-acting water-wheel and in the central passage an organ of large dimensions is rapidly approaching completion. During the week a number of carriages of elegant construction, have arrived from the manufactory of Jones (Freres), coachbuilders at Bruasels. Front Russia and Sweden a few arrivals have also taken place. A large quantity of agricultural mulinery has been forwarded from 1 lolland. and the first consignments front the United States have reached the building. In the English division of the building the e n w ess made doting the last few days is very striking. A large number of heavy machines, in addition to those we enunwrated last week, have been fixed in their places. Amongst them arc "slotting" and "plan ing" machines, a machine for fleeting boiler plates, un hydraulic preset from the works of Messrs. Bellhou.s. and Co., a pair of 350-horse power marine engines, by Messrs. Boulton and Watt, several agricultural locomotive machines, and mills of every kind, hand mills, steam mills, and universal mills. In the ether classes the ar rangements are progressing stuidily, and there is no doubt that when the painting of the inside of the building is completed. the goods will pour in with even greater rapidity than at present. The follow ing is a return of the number of packages front fo reign countries received at the building during the week :—France, 239; Belgium, ell; Austria, d ; United States, 212 ; Spain, 98; Hamburg, 75; Zoll verein, 1; China, 17; Madeira, 2 ; St. Helena, 1 ; South Australia, 2 ; Montserrat, 2; Canada, 1 ; Jer sey (Channel Islands), 1 ; phillippine Islands, 1. PROCEEDINGS AT MANCHESTER. A meeting of the local committee was held on Wednesday afternoon, in the Town-hull, to nominate gen tlemen qualified and willing to art as jurors in classes 2,5, 6, 11, 13, and 26, iu which this town is a con , iderle exhibitor. .late PUITIK, mayor of Manchester, took the chair. The MAYOR said, it appeared to him that it would be hardly possible to comply with the regulation which re paired that if any person was appointed a juror in any class it would preclude him, or the tirm with which he was connected, from competition in that particular class. For instance, iu the machinery section, all the principal firms in Manchester, represented by !Mlle; well known throughout Europe, were exhibitors, and if they were not to have the advantage of the services of those gentlemen on the jury, he felt sure that the circumstance would be greatly regretted. Manchester would certainly not be represented as she would desire to be, unless it were by her first men, who would have to meet the first men of all other European countries. Mr. Fairbairn, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Whitworth, and Messrs. Sharpe, were all exhibitor., and if they were prevented from having those names on their list of jurors, at could hardly be possible to replace those names by others which could do them equal credit. He spoke in great ignorance of the subject, but these names were fami liar to him, and he was sure they were familiar to the town —(applause)—as the most eminent in their profession. Nr. SA LM SCHWABE said he did not see how the re velation was to be dispensed with, as they could not make an exhibitor judge of his own contributions. If any gen tleman desired the honour, which it surely would be, of re presenting Manchester on this occasion, he must forego the honour of winning a medal, and must trust to the public appreciating and acknowledging the excellence of his con tributions when they were exhibited. Mr. YOUNG moved the appointment of Dr. Smith as juror in Clue 2 (chemical and pharmaceutical processes ge nerally). The motion, having been seconded, was carried unani mously. The MAYOR said the names he had had placed in his kinds a, representatives of the mechanical department were those of Messrs. Fairbuirn, Whitworth, R. Roberts. Byer, James Nasmyth, and limn ; hut they were all exhibitors in one or other of the two machinery sections. The difficulty, however, might be met by appointing those gentlemen as jurors in one section who were exhibitors in the other. Mr. GREGAN then moved that Messrs. Whitworth, Ro hens. 'and Nannyth (who ars exhibitors in Class 6) be appointed jurors in elm 5 (machinery for direct use, in cluding carriages and railway and naval mechanism.) Mr. J. HARDING seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mt. J. DUNN moved the appointment of Messrs. Fair bairn. Wooderoft. and Rcnn as juror in Class 6 (manufac turing( machines and tools). The motion was seconded by Mr. GIIVNDY, and unani mously agreed to. Mr:MALCOLM ROSS moved that Messrs. J. A. Turner, Nimmo, and Dunn be appointed jurors in Class 11 (plain cotton , ). Mr. HINTON moved the nomination of Messrs. George Foster. John Hargreaves, and David Selzer as jurors in Class IS (printed calicoes). In this recommendation, the preference had been given to gentlemen who possessed a competent knowledge of design as well as colour. (Hear.) Mr. ROSS seconded the motion, and it was carried. Mr. John Morley was then nominated as juror in Class 13 (silk and velvet) ; and Mr. George Jackson as juror in Class 26 (decoration, furniture, and upholstery). This ter minates! the proceedings. ACCOMMODATIoN TO Vlstrom.—At a Court of Common Council, held on Thursday. Mr. Bennoch gave notice of motion, that it be referred to a committee, con sisting of the chairman and one other member of each com mittee, to consider whether any, and what better, arrange ments can be made to promote the comfort and convenience of persons visiting the city of London, especially in regard I to the admies . ion to places of public interest. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1851. ADDITIONAL LIST OF BRITISH line of frame, the effect is to elongote the circle and to take uway the monotonous effect of a ring -like fnuae. Another upright fr one his fottuoto of foliage and flowers cut through" at top and base. A very Dint and deli cate sketch study by Mudise, belly a portrait of the late Countess of 81e..M. , t0u in morning eonume is framed. Another frame exhildti an adaptation of two drawing., by different 1113.k11 , , to the :Sallie tableau • the upper one being an arched square, the lower au oral, encircled by a wreath, hanging over the line of frame, inward s and out, .\ circular table, about 4ft. in diameter, aml 35 inches high, standing on a spiral pillar and tripod. The top contains sixty landseapes and views, in oil, by Mr. Pyne. All are front nature; and aM are represented as iu gilded frames, and lying upon a light wood table, of the colour of satinwood. A large circular disc of plate glass covers these views and the whole top of the table, so as to protect it from injury. The centre of the table is oc cupied by an oval-framed view of Clifton, near Bristol. Above and trdew this are two upright views, of and near Clifton. On each side are a pair of horizontal views, and the spaces Ix tween these arc filled at. with more minute landscapes, toast seen•, sea-pieces, &e. The table itself is of gold and white, but differs from the usual style in which the white pre'do.nialtes; for this table is madly of gold or gilding, burnished and frosted, save three female terminal figures, which are of dead white, except a wreath of wheat-ears round their brows. These li..tures terminate in a scroll conn-ctinu thorn with the tripod stand of the table. The top is bordered beneath the glass with a nar row ring of crimson cloth, and above the glass with an e tzgaid:tatiga.• lx)rder of Bold. Goddard, Nuttinglron. A kitchen range. Every vmtriv anee for tmkiae, fryiaz, nod all kinds of provisions appears to be provided, as well as in • foe supplying hot water and heat for a green Ouse. or conservatory. Hunter, Edwin, Broomhall-street, Sheffield. A display of scissors in a glass ease, 4 ft. 6 in. by MI. 6 in., with a carved oak frame, containing 230 pairs of scissors of every size and pattern, grOtllltd and mounted upon a white around. The centre object is a pair of huge scissors, 22 inches lung, the bows and shank representing in outline two crowns, the upper one surmounted by a thistle. All the ornamental work i. wrought with the file, some por tions of the surface being cha , ml. This object is by far the most expensive pair of scissors ever produced in Shef field. On each side of these appears another pair, nearly the same size and scarcely less beautiful or costly. Oae pair represents, in chasing, the bruising of the serpent's head; in the centre is wrought out with the file the l'rince of Wales's feathers, and the bow is constituted of the emblematic groupof the shamrock, rose, and thistle, and some curious scroll-work, all wrought out with the file. The other lateral pair of scissors are likewise beauti- fully chased. The depurtntent conveying the greatest amount of instruction to the general spectator is in the left hand lower corner. It illustrates the process of the scis sors manufacture in ten distinct stages: 1. A plain piece of steel ; 2. The mood, after the first process of forging ; 3. The forging complete ; 4. Filed ; 4. Bored and shar pened ; G. Oround ; 7. Bow got up ; S. Fitted ; 9. Glazed; 10. A finished pair of ordinary barber's scissors. Over these objects there are specimens of print, woman's, shaping, drapers', and nail scissors, MI glazed ; a pair of dandy's whisker scissors, with a comb fabricatttl at one side; a variety of lamp scissors, vines, flower-gatherers, pruning and slide pruning shears,'and horse-trimmers, all with very long stems ; massive tailors' shears and Ameri can ditto. Thu right hand side of the case is headed with specimens of fancy shaping and bankers' paper scissors. hair and nail scissors, and a great variety for gentlemen's dressing-eases. In the centre of this side the most striking object is a pair of leineh fancy nail scissor, ornamented with etching; these, as their immense size suggests, are designed only for show. Beneath them is a group of surgeons scissors, carved, angular. and distorted into every imaginable shape, for diffirult operations. their very appearance being sufficient to create a shudder. Included in the foregoing arc all the ordinary and most useful varieties. The remainder, compri ing about one-third of the whole collection, are all more or less ornamented with the tile and the process of chas ing. Amongst them arc a complete set of ladies' chate laine scissors, and about a dozen pairs representing differ ent kiuds of birds, the blades being the bill, the stems forming the legs, nod the centre representing the holly, with the plumage beautifully depicted by the skill of the chaser. In no other kind of ornament is chasing so ef fertive. There are also fifteen pairs of elegant ladies' scissors, repmenting effigies of the eagle, swan, peacock,' pheasant (these are large and very beautiful), butterfly, &e. ; besides a lot of fancy shaping and miscellaneous scis sors. All the interstices are filled up with an endless va riety of useful ornamented scissor, including some of the smallest kinds, used by artificial fly-makers. Amongst the curiosities there is a pair of scissors which, when closed, are exactly in the form of a slogger, and the joints are so delicately finished as to be quite imperceptible. Another pair represents The Iron Duke " on:horseback, in military costume, politely bowing to an acquaintance. Mc Rae, J. J., Newark. A triple stay for all purposes where the strength of a fabric is required; useful for strengthening male attire; also a waistcoat of novel form, which can be lengthened or shortened at pleasure ; another waistcoat, so arranged as to entirely supersede the use of braces; likewise an improved top to drawers, .1601 will supersede the use of belts, and ensure exemp- flail from rupture. Millington and Son, Newark. Patent corn screen and blower, by means of which wheat bcMg passed through it is enhanced Is. per quarter. Mackenzie, J. S., Newark. The Mackenzie triturator; also a Vulcan spring. Milner, Manchester. Twelve safes. They begin with a safe of the smallest size, and go up to the largest, andeonsist of half-inch wrought iron plates externally, as all the strongest class of 'whitest safes do. The first specimen is a safe called No. 1, which will consist of the sides only, put together in the first operation, to show the mode of dovetailing the iron plates. A safe of this size will also be shown in a finished state. The safe No. 2 will ad vance a step ou the skeleton of the first one, and will show the inside of the lock, the mode of fastening the hinges, and the dog-bolts. This safe will not contain the fire-proof inside, but a finished safe of the same class will lee laid beside it. The whole of the exhibition safes arc fire and thief proof. The strength is equal throughout ; and whether the safe be large or small, it would equally resist the fire or the burglar. Tha two largest of these safes consist of a single and double doored safe—the former .5 feet 6 inches high, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet 6 inches deep • and the latter 6 feet high, 5 feet wide, and 2 feet 6 inches deep. Thesafe with the single door will weigh about 35 cwt., and the other safe about 3 tons. Mortimer, Mr., George-street, Edinburgh, has constructed a beautiful inkstand of Scotch pebbles, upwards of one hun dred being employed at once a very ornamental and thoroughly national contribution. Noak, Messrs., Walter & John, Droitwich. A case of salt. It contains a sample of brine from the springs, the quan tity of saline matter contained in which is about 43 parts in 100. The supply of this valuable fluid seems Inex haustible ; its strength and quality have been for centu ries the same, and with the present works it is estimated ' that 260,000 tons of salt are annually manufactured from the Droitwich brine. Also a specimen of rock Lilt, and nine samples of the different qualities of salt most in de _ ma nd. Richmond and Chandler, Salford. A variety of the im proved chaff-cutter known as Richmond and Chandler's patent chaff machine, possessing the merit of a set of self acting feed-rollers, thereby rendering it unnecessary to employ more than one person in feeding and turning the machine. The merit, of the No. 1 corn-crusher con sist (says its inventors) in its economical construction.: t has a new and highly important feature in the employ ment of a setting screw on the back of the feeder (quite . original), a slight pressure on which will increase or di minish the supply on the working rollers, so formed as to combine both a cutting and crushing action, rendering its effect on the grain more perfect than simple pressure, and by the new application of feeding can be regulated to the power of one boy. Price 5/. ss. Richmond and Chandler. Another grain crusher (No. 2), for crushing malt, barley, oats, &c., with fine machine fluted rollers, possessing a simple and effective arrange ment, by which they are always kept parallel with each other, and, being driven at different speeds, the smallest grain of linseed is effectually crushed, and clogging en tirely prevented • is applicable for hand, horse, steam, or water power. Price, 6/. 10s.—A two-knife chaff-cutting machine, combining self-adjusting feed with Richmond's tooth rollers, said to be very suitable for small farms, private stables, &c. Price, 14. 10s. Richmond and Chandler, Manchester. A newly-invented chaff-machine, No, 5, made with the view of combining the hest points of former machines with improvements on the whole system. The mouth is made to adjust itself to any given feed by a weight which is appended to the extremity of the lever, which keeps a uniform pressure on the upper roller, while it is always at liberty to rise or fall according to the substance which the rollers are re ceiving. The quantity thus cut will challenge competi tion with any other machine made. Price 141.—Another chaff-machine ; the first motion given to the rollers is by a pair of level wheels, a motion always preferred by ma chinists to the worm and wheel, when it can possibly ho obtained, in consequence of the great decrease of friction. The feed is brought forward by Richmond's toothed rollers• and presud into a compact body by a weight sus pended upon the rising lever, thus producing a clean and perfect cut. Is applicable for hand, horse, water or steam power. Price 6/. 15s. Russell, Mrs., Dublin. A bust column of white Donegal marble. It resembles the Parian in grain and finish, and works remarkably well. Also a column and panel of Connemara green marble and a block of green porphyry from Ressmore-park, county Monaghan. Strudwick, Thomas, 14, New Bond-street, London. Silver r mounted dressing-cases, &c., intended to exhibit 'peel . mess of various woosbi, viz., yew tree, cedar of Lebanon, pollard oak, pollard walnut, ebony, rosewood, &c., °ma- EXHIBITORS. Bonner and Carfree, Castle-stmet, Edinburgh. Specimens of decorative painting, including a frieze. in oils. Cattanaeh, Cnion-street, Aberdeen. A machine for taking the measurement of individual. for clothing. The instru ment conebts of a series of steel Knots in a frame, that are with the greatest ease adapted to the human figure, and screwed into a positiom that indicates its form and size to a hair'a breadth and the measurement is no exact that a misfit is impossible. Dviu, Wm, London and South Coast Railway Company. 'Various i n ventions. —The Eclipse.:,or StandardLife-hosit. It is formed of diagonal battens,laid similar to that of lattice work, and its outer sheathing is formed of gotta pereha; its louoyaney is 350 cubic feet of air, capable of sustaining upwards of oil tons. It has in its bottom :IMO holes, half in inch in diameter to allow all water shipped to pees orf ; it ha. a convened bottom 30 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 18 inches deep, in which arc placed three perforated fins, for the purpos..- ofst e all ving anol keeping the I oont in an upright position, acting when the boat lurches from either beam similar to a paddle-wheel, a re-action taking place through the perforated parts, which wiltbe seen to mul tiply its weight of water to four times its amount. In this convened part, and hetwecu the fins, is contained two tons weight of wan r, which must be displaced therefrom be fore: the boat can turn over, but such will he almost im pel-elide, it being more than half the weight of the boat; but, as a provision against such a lamentable disaster, elm turns over on her quarter Meet. of water, which rights her again. It may lie remarked that the two tons Inewt. of water regirred to is not one ounce weight to boat when in her upright position. At the stem stern, and on each beam and quarter, is run a how, to which is connected galvanised springs, which will not cor rode, and will be found of the greatest utility in the event of collision, which act similar to that of railway buffers.— A Gutta Perch,' Life-buoy, for the rescue of individuals from drowning, or to enable a stranded vessel to commu nicate- with the shore. It is intended to be placed at the stern of the- ship, so that on an alarm being green " A mnn overhoard !" the person at the helm can dislodge it in stantly, and as it falls into the sea a fuzee becomes ignited, which: burns with a brilliant light, guiding the sinking man to it; should it occur at night, four uprights are placed upon it, containing rockets, blue and other lights, which ignite vin being drawn out, thus acting as a beacon to the crew.—An Emigration Life-boat, intended for a finis-ciao, Teasel, of the tbllowing dimensions: 20 feet lung by 11 feet wide ; it is united by stmng holt., and is very portable from the mode of its construction, which allows it to be folded up iu the compass of 20 feet long by 2 feet 6 inches wide. On occasion of shipwreck it is ea• made of supporting 100 persons, with provisions for seven days, allowing to each individual two end a half pounds of Geed and I pint of water per day, in addition to which it may be mule available for a portion of the eamo, and can be put in requisition in a few minutes.—A Life Launch, rendered buoyant by inflate) cushions Owed under the gunwale, which protects it front injury when coming in contact with rocks or the sides of a ship in being lowered for vise. A boat constructed on this prin ciple, from 2.1 to 30 feet in length, contains upwards of a thousand gallons of air, and would support six hundred persons, were it posaible for so many to attach themselves to it. The boat no also furnished' with a tank of fresh water, and the gunwales with lockers containing water proof hags of gotta pen-ha for the reception of provisions; a water-proof awning of gutta percha Ices rolled up on the goinwale,which can be rid/sells° as to form a complete protec tion from the inclemency of the weather, over which a lamp other signal of distress is placed. The cushions may he rent..., .1 when the vessel he in port, and may be used as a common bent ; it will were OA a paddle-box boat on board of a .tea Mer, the cushions acting as fenders in the event of coneuesion.—The Gotta l'ercha Emigration . Life-beat is cooostructssl with ribs moving on pivots, in a line with the lee el,the gunwale. folding down inthe same direction; it powseseee, therefore, this recommendation, that filly of these boats can be mocked in the space usually occupied by five ordinary ones.—A Coutta Pereha Life-vest, capa ble of being infiated at pleasure, which may lie worn under or over the dress, forming a protection against the weather when not required as a life pre-server ; this will Ise shown on a man in connection with in hone equipped with buoyant belts, showing how animal* may be made useful iu the event of a wreck, by forming a commioniere non with the shore : this is an interesting niodel. There are also patented various plans of life belts, which posses. these recommendations over all others, that they require no tying, but are fixed round the booly, and fastened by a clasp or spring, monsrqueutly not a monwnt is lost in times of einereeney.

A model representation of the process of manufacturing silk and felt hats, The- model, which is divided into two parts— one ti.r silk and the other for felt, is again subdivided into the various apartments required for carrying on those two brioches of hat-making. There am renumber ofmodel men and women pursuing the different branches of their art, the figures being 61 inches in height, and all the instru ments of their art on the same scale, including irons, rounding machines, rules, brushes, bottles, scissors, needles, and in one ease we observe a miniature pint of porter, but of cour-e not in the women's department. In addition to the illustration which the model wises of hat manufacture, the object is to show the peculiarities in the process of making the peculiar kind of hat, the: body of whie 11 is made of linen and cork, cos reed with silk phish, of unusual fineness, intended to .how the perfection to which this branch of art has been brought. In the first department, lilliputian hatters are seen in their different shops diligently executing the different branches of their trade, and working ft all the world as if they knew they were working for the forthcoming Exhibition, and as if they were determined to let the world see what English men and women can do. The "body-makers" are " proofing calico," " rubbing in stiffening." " stretching second cover," " forming brim," "ironing brim to crown," " ironing up brim," and preparing cork bodies ; while, in their own shop, the "finisher*" are "marking out silk," "sticking silk on hotly," "finishing on blocks," "sticking the silk on the brim.," "varnishing," "shap ing." and "binding." Meanwhile, the pigmy felt makers are as busy in preparing for the "Jerry," of which a specimen is given. To produce a felt hat, the workmen are lousy "bowing wool," pressing halt," joining two batts to form a cone," " basining cone," "scalding cone," " rolling cone," "blocking," and giving to the whole the camp 11,- gortee. In this section also the materials arc sub mitted to view, being two kinds of wool, " cleared =Mite and carded Saxony," which, by being rolled together, become matted, or . " felted," so as to form the material of the felt hat. This part of the model is furnished with its large hot-water tank, around the planks of which the workmen are ,sanding, to carry on their scalding, felting, and blocking operations. Grundy, T. C., Exchange-street, Manchester. Frames for Finis and drawing.. Although neither drawings nor engravings arc admitted to the Exhibition, Mr. Grundy has obtained special permission to fill his frames with one or the other, without which the stele of frame could not be duly illustrative, especially as it is made to take its character from the pictorial subject which it surrounds. But to avoid any unnecessary exhibition of prints, when the object is really to display the frame., Mr. Grundy has procured a number of unfinished etchings, proofs in a very early . state, &c., which show that ho is complying with the spirit, if not the letter of the rule to which we have referred. In drawings he is obliged to transgress a little• but only to the extent permitted. For instance, one light frame- inclines a sheet of seven small studies of the late Sir Augustus Cancan, which are. as it were, inlaid or sunk in the matte or mounting, so ae to pre serve them from iojury, as the glace cannot touch them. This frame has at the lower corners a perforated ornamental inner border, extending over the glass itself, consisting of the entwined foliage of the oak and ire, as emblematical of the honour due to the deceased artist. At the top corners, the ornamentation does not fall inwards over the gloss, but outwards, and consists of the stems, leaves, and flowers of the consolvulus and the anemone. A somewhat plainer and heavier style, but still very light when compared with contemporaneous frames elsewhere, has been designed for such drawings as those of Catter mole, Nash, &c. or for prints from the old masters. Lanolsecr's well , -known circular print of the Queen nursing. which is spoiled by a square frame, is here in one neither square nor octagon, but approaching the latter, or what the former would be if the corners were rounded off in a large radius. Another frame is adapted to Sir C. E. Eastlake's picture of " Christ Weeping over Jerusalem," which is elliptic in form, having an arched top. The centre of the top and base of the frame have appropriate emblems the dove at the top; at the base, the cross, the seven seals, ea. Then a pair of frames for Sir E. Landsece. Peace" and " War," arc alike in general form and style, but different in embellishment ; both being emblematic. " War" has at the top martial trophies, spears , flags, swords, cannon, &c. surmounted by an oaken wreath. At the sides are other trophies, shields, helmets. breast plates, and other defensive armour. The corners are filled with oak and ivy ; and the centre base with the wreath-like palm branches. " Peace " has at the centre-top the cornucopia filled with fruit, wheat ears, &e.: and the banner, of war are furled. At the sides are grouped agricultural instru ments, and the armour wreathed with flowers. At the corners the convolvus and other flowers ; and at the base palm branches. Then the circular engraving of Raffaelle's " Madonna del Sego:dole, or Sedia,"has a light, chaste frame, surmounted with the stem, leaves, and flowers of the lily, emblem of purity; and other appropriate deco rations at the bane ; and ea both these project over the [PRICE (DOUBLE SHEET) FOURPENCE. mented externally with a variety of antique and medieval mountings. escutcheon•, dte. Treadwin, Mrs., 2i, Cathedral-yard, Exeter. A Devon shire or lluniton point leer donnec. AMERICA N CONTRIBUTIONS. We announced last week the arrival off Cowes of the United States frigate St. Lawrence, with the American eontributioni to the tin.mt Exhibition. The second day after her arrival she wm towed into Southampton Docks, and had a quay berth allotted to her. This w•as neer...7ury on account of the bulky and heavy nature of the she had to land. The crew have been working daily ever since landing the eontributimts she has brought, and their labours terminated on Tuesday. The American contribu tions brought by the St. Lawrence are eontained in about ion pasha a. They weigh betwecn 200 and 300 tom.. They till a store in the Southampton Docks about 12• i feet in kngth and 3. feet _ broad. The pack- Igo; are all and shaper. Many of them are of small size and weigh only a few pounds. Some care weigh about 13001b5., Wilts., or 23011 w. On Tuesday afternoon the principal specimens of metal ore were landed. Amongst them was a splendid specimen of copper ore, weighing 2,5111b5. Thin was almast pure copper. There Wall also a fine 'pi vimen of iron ore, but the greatest curiosity was a monster dock of sine ore weighing about eight tuns; about 70 men were employed half an hour in raising it from the hold of the vessel and landing it on the quay. It was lifted by means of the capstan, which MO manned by 52 men, who were working it in measured step to the shrill music of a fife. This was a curious sight. The tramping of the men round the capstan, the music of the marine fifer, the making of the tackle, the hoarse bawlings, and the sounds of the silver whistles of the boat swain and his mates, in giving orders while the gigantic lump was imperceptibly rising from the hold of the ship, were very singular. The rine ore came from New Jersey, and is cubical in its form, and measures shout four feet in height. Tho copper before spoken of came from Lake Superior. One of the greatest curiosities among the Ame rican contributions is a packet landed on Monday, which consisted of an air.exhausted metal coffin, iu which a human body could be preserved for ages without undergoing the slightest change towards decomposition. It contained a bouquet of flowers, which is as fresh as when it was first plaeed there. The variety in the American contributions is very great. Amongst the packets are specimens of all kinds of inventions in machinery, such as lathes, and planing and weighing machines, mills, &c.; in agricultural implements, such as ploughs, winnowing machines; life boats and buoys, anchors; carriages, harness, musical instruments, perfumery, wigs and other head dresses of hair; fancy soaps, cabinet works, india-rubber goods, tire-arms, stained glass, chemical instruments, pegs tic the bottoms of boots and shoes, patent and tire-proof paint. There are specimens of all kinds of minerals and mineral ores, such as steel, copper, iron, sine, and samples of coal. There is also a variety of minerals, to accompany a map of the State of Virginia. There is a large quantity of glass from Massachusetts; also specimens of Australian wheat in the straw, of tobacco, cotton, seeds, cod liver oil, blacking, patent iron safes, catawba wine, stationery, books, IssAbinding, oak tables, spring chairs, picture frames, look ' ing glasses, pilot bread, wafer and soda crackers, soap stones, specimens of flour and preserved meats, and of a self-acting safety valve. There is also a specimen of the . standard weights used in all the states fur weighing the • largest and must minute quantities.
