LIST OF EXHIBITORS IN THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The following List does not profess to be a com plete catalogue of exhibitors at the approaching Great Show, but is offered only as the most perfect state went at present obtainable. d‘e ••• 34' 9 (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Fletcher, South St. Andrew-street, Edinburgh. A ma hogany case, containing models of a globe in its seve ral stages of manufacture Falkirk Iron Works, the Royal Arms. The size of the cast, in alto-relievo, is eight feet in length by six feet high. Two other casts of the Royal Arms, smaller in size, are also to be sent Ferguson, Brothers, typefounders, Edinburgh Flinn, Worcester, flexible baits. They consist of a va riety of artificial fish of various sizes, samlet, of four, eight, and twelve months; golden trout from Lake Ogwen, Carnarvonshire; the Severn trout, dace, min now, gudgeon; the lampern, that peculiar delicacy of the Severn waters, &c. Amongst the excellences of these baits may be noticed the peculiar construc tion of the fins and tails ; these arranged so as to have, when in the water, an action precisely si milar to that of the real fish, every motion of the rod or stream, causing a corresponding vibration; the transparent material, toe, of which these parts are made, and the imitation of *iC spinal rays, all tend to give the bait a life-like appearance. Freeman, Falmouth. A large block of granite of about 30 tons' weight, from the quarry of Mr. Freeman. It measures 12i feet by 11} feet, and is 2,i feet thick, and is worked over.

The model, which is divided into two parts, one for silk and the other for felt, is again subdivided into the various apartments required tor carrying on these two branches of hat making. There are a number of model men and women pursuing the different branches of their art, the figures being six inches and a half in height, and all the instruments of their art on the same scale Grundy, T. C., Exchange-street, Manchester. Frames for prints and drawings. Although neither draw ings nor engravings are admitted to the Exhibition, Mr. Grundy has obtained special permission to fill his frames with one or the other, without which the style of frame could not be duly illustrative, espe cially as it is made to take its character from the pic torial subject la hick it surrounds. But to avoid any unnecessary exhibition of prints, when the object is really to display the frames, Mr. Grundy has pro- cured a number of unfinished etchings, proofs in a very early state. In drawings he is obliged to transgress a little, bat only to the extent permitted. For in aince, one light frame incloses a sheet of seven small studies of the late Sir Augustus Callcott, which are as it were inlaid or sunk in the matte or mounting, so so as to preserve them from injury, as the glass 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 uuk and ivy, as embiemattes,l of she hueout due to the deceased artist. At the top corners the orna mentation does not fall inwards over the glass, but outwards, and consists of the stems, leaves, and flower of the convolvulus and the anemone. A some what plainer and heavier style, but still very light when compared with contemporaneous frames else where, has been designed for such drawings as those of Cattermole, Nash, &c., or for prints from the old masters. Landseer'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 approach ing 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'a 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 em blems; the dove at the top; at the base the cross, the seven seals, &c. Then a pair of frames for Sir E. Landseer's " Peace," and '- War," are 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 ar mour. 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, &c.; and the banners of war are furled. At the sides are grouped agricultural in struments, and the armour wreathed with flowers. At the corners the convolvulus and other flowers; and,at the base palm branches. Then the circular engraving of Raffeelle's " Madonna del Seggiolo, or Sedia," has a light, chaste frame, surmounted with the stem, leaves, and flower of the lily, emblem of purity; and other appropriate decorations at the base; and as both these project over the line of frame, the effect is to elongate the circle and to take away the monotonous effect of a ring-like frame. Another upright frame has festoons of foliage and flowers "cut through" at top and base. A very faint and delicate sketch study by Maelise, being a portrait of the late Countess of Blessingtoe, in morning costume, is framed. Another frame exhibits an adaptation of two drawings, by dif ferent masters, to the same tableau; the upper one being an arched square, the lower an oval, encircled by a wreath, hanging over the line of frame, inwards and outwards. A circular table, about 4 ft. in diameter, and 35 inches high, standing on a spiral pillar and tripod. The top contains sixty landscapes and views. in oil, by Mr. Pyne. All are from nature; and all are represented as in 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 occupied by an oval:framed Vi;le of Clifton, near Bristol. - Above and below this are two upright views of and near Clifton. On each side are a pair of horizontal views, and the spaces between these are filled up with more minute land scapes, coast scenes, sea pieces, kn. The table itself is of gold and white, but differs from the usual style in which the white predominates; for this table is wholly of gold or gilding, burnished or frosted, save three female terminal figures, which are of dead white, except a wreath of wheat ears round their brows. These figures terminate in a scroll connecting them with the tripod stand of the table. The top is bor dered beneath the glass with a narrow ring of crimson cloth, and above the glass with an egg-and-tongue border of gold Goddard, Nottingham, A kitchen range. Every con trivance for roasting, steaming, baking, frying, and stewing all kinds of provisions appears to be provided as well as an apparatus for supplying hot water and heat for a green house or conservatory Gray, James, and Son, 85, George-street, Edinburgh.

Planimeter, by Mr. Wehtli, for calculating the area of plains, whatever may be the form of their outline Harrington, Portsmouth. Artificial teeth and machi nery—patented. The teeth and gums are made in one piece of mineral, which never changes colour or de cays. and the risings and indentations on their masti cating surfaces are very considerable, and allow a cer tain amount of lateral and rotary action. The bed on which the mineral is fitted is composed of tortoise shell, which is not affected by the saliva of the mouth, and is not au absorbent; and being very light (about halt the weight of ivory), and not harsh in its nature, it is found beautifully adapted for the purpose, particularly for the lower jaw Halbeard and Wellings, St. Paul's-square, Birmingham. Papier macho goods. The principal specimen is an Elizabethan tiolet table of large dimensions, with mirror to match ; both these are inlaid with pearl, and ornamented with pale and burnished gold. Also a large round centre table, ornamented with flowers; three neat work-tables, pearl inlaid, in different styles of ornamentation Harrison, Joseph, Blackburn. Two new looms, upon the most improved principle. An old loom, made about half a century ago, at Abbey Mill, Paisley. It is similar to the first power looms worked in that neighbourhood, which were commenced in 1796 by Mr. Robert Miller, of Milton Pruffield, near Dum barton; it is capable to run only 60 picks (or throws of the shuttle) per minute, with advantage, and where these looms are worked, one person is required to attend to one loom, and in a few cases five persons can manage to attend to six looms. The new looms may be driven at the rate of 220 picks per minute, and are now working at that speed, both in the Exhi bition and in the mills in the manufacturing districts; one person can attend to two, and, in many instances, three looms. This may, at first sight, appear scarcely credible, but that will be removed when it is explained that the new looms have motions applied, named re spectively the " weft protector," the " temple," the " positive taking-up motion," the " loose reed and break," and the " fast reed and break," the first two of which are the patented inventions of Messrs. Kenworthy and Rnliniigh, of Blackburn, Lancashire; the loose reed and break of Mr. Bullough, of Black burn; and the fast reed and break of Mr. John Sel lers, of Burnley. The weft motion is a very simple and beautiful movement, consisting of a small fork, acting in connexion with the setting on handle of the loom, and whenever the weft thread breaks, or is ab sent, instantly (with the assistance of Bullough's break or sellers, whichever may be applied) stops fur ther motion, and prevents the machine going on weav ing without weft, which would of course make a part in the cloth without the weft, which, if not remedied by the weaver " pulling back," would be a serious de fect in the piece of cloth. This motion, therefore, dis penses with very great care and watchfulness on the part of the operative, and enables him to turn off more cloth. The " temple" is an oblong box or trough, with a roller cut or fluted almost like a file for a few inches at each end, which works in the box, and keeps the fabric at one uniform width throughout the piece, and the sides free from perforations and tears, which make them beautifully uniform and good. The old loom has a temple applied, but it requires to be moved by the operative, and if he should abate in watchfulness, it would continue moving with the fabric until it would be of no use as a temple at all, and moreover it perforates and very often tears the sides of the cloth. The taking up motion is for the purpose of securing uniformity in thickness throughout the piece, regulating the number of threads of weft in a given distance, by the application of a small wheel containing a certain number of teeth or cogs, acting in connexion with three other small wheels, and the cloth beam, which latter, at one and the same time, folds up the cloth and moves it so as to have the desired thickness; without this motion the fabric may in one part be of one thickness, and in an other part of another thickness. The loose reed and break of Mr. Bullough, is the best adapted for light, and Mr. Seller's fast reed and break for heavy goods. Whenever the shuttle fails in traversing the slay from one end to the other, great breakage of the threads of the warp is almost certain, but in looms with Mr. Bullough's invention attached the loose reed falls out of its place, and gives way to the shuttle; conse quently no derangement or breakage of the warp takes place. The above are but leading movements of the power loom of the present day, for there are several other motions which are little less effective, simple, and necessary to its perfect working. The old looms such asthe one exhibited produce but about one-third of the cloth one of the new ones will, and require twice the labour to produce that small quantity; they also take up more space and require more power, they are awkward in their appearance and movements, being quite the reverse to the well-proportioned and highly-finished working parts of the new. An experienced operative will produce 26 pieces of 25-inch wide, 29 yards long printing cloth of 11 picks per in. off two looms in a factory working week of sixty hours. Each piece costs sid. weaving. The same person, if turned to the old looms, could but work one, and would turn off 4 similar pieces, which would cost 2s. 9d. each for weaving, showing a difference of 2s. 31d. per piece for weaving alone in favour of the new looms. There are also other expenses occasioned by adherence to the old system, which to any practical person will be at once obvious Hilditch and Hopwood, Potteries. 9 feet counter.

Its centre is an 1 oval medallio n , a p i ece of rich colouring, repro- &entitig clusters of choice fruit and groups of the brightest flowers, with various trees, foliage, plants, &c., birds of brilliant plumage and gay narty-coloured insects, In the foreground a pool of still water, in the background a blue sky, enhance and bring out the rich colouring of nature's animate and inanimate productions. Around this medallion, the remainder of the space up to the frame on all sides is occupied with numerous intersecting circles, as in geo metric diagrams, each segmental portion being appro priated to.the representation of a design for some tex tile fabric, and all the forms in these designs being derived from objects in the endless and boundless kingdoms of Nature. In this way, 240 different de signs are grouped, the ground of each being of some neutral tint or subdued colour, so as to harmonise as s whole, while the various designs, by this harmony and their lower tone, combine to throw into promi nence the rich colouring within the central medallion. Amongst other natural forms and subjects are wheat ears, hawthorn blossom, fern leaves, foilage of the briar, various heaths in flower, oak leaves and acorns, hop bines and foliage, holly leaves and berries, the pensile blossoms of the laburnum, leaves of ivy, tre foil, trembling or Timothy grass, &c. Among flowers are roses of various kinds, the convolvulus, hyacinth, harebell, the rose, thistle, and shamrock combined, &c. Hughes, John, Sunderland. Muting shears. These shears are capable of lifting a boiler of 20 tons weight, and shears on this principle may be constructed to raise any weight that may be required. They are also adapted to put masts into ships. The model is made on a half-inch scale. The machinery is under cover to protect it from corrosion, and to keep it in proper order. The middle storey is intended as a warehouse or loft in fitting up the rigging of larger vessels.—Steering apparatus. This consists of two cast iron standards, with two traverse boxes at the top, which boxes are screwed on to a toothed rack, which has a pinion on the upright shaft to which the steering wheel is affixed, so that when the steering wheel is turned either way, motion is given to the rack, and thence communicated to the rudder by means of two connecting rods leading to the tiller, which is placed on the head of the rudder. The appa ratus or steering machine is detached altogether, and is placed on the under side of the deck beams of the ship, and is free from any obstruction; when the sea strikes the rudder it runs amidships, the great leverage that the helmsman has gives bim a proper command Hartley, James, and Co., Sunderland. A complete Model of a Glasshouse, containing an 8-pot furnace, the " cone" being made of glass beautifully bent, an operation evidently, from the peculiar shape and al tering radius, requiring the utmost ingenuity and skill—enabling the observer minutely to inspect the interior arrangement of tho furnace and " pots," or crucibles in which the material is fused; and also the " cave" or tunnel by which alone any air is admitted into the glasshouse when the operation of melt ing the metal is going on, and which passing, of ne cessity, through the furnace, forms a constant blast, by which means a greater heat is obtained than is re quired in any iron works. The model is to a scale of an inch and a half to the foot, the diameter of the floor of the glasshouse being 7ft. 2in.; height of floor from basement, 1 ft.; height of cone, 12ft. Adjoining the furnace the process of glass making is elucidated by specimens in the various stages of the manufac ture. Some of the sheet glass exhibited is 62 in. long by 41 in. wide, containing nearly 18 superficial feet. —A model of a green-house, 4ft. 2 in. square, on the ridge and furrow, flat-roofed principle. Messrs. Hartley and Co. erected several of these on the repeal of the glass duties, with a view of showing how the materials of glass and iron or wood could be best adapted for the economical construction of conserva tories. A section of a ridge and valley roof is exhi bited, the span being ten feet, thus giving i❑ a build ing such as the Crystal Palace multiples of ten in place of eight feet, as in that building.—Two win dows, manufactured of Messrs. Hartley's patent rolled glass Hedley, George, Monkwearmouth. Model of a ship.

Exeter. Bouquet of flowers in Berlin wool work Holloway, J., Salisbury. Samples of various kinds of twine and small cord, from the smallest size to about one inch circumference, the whole of which has been manufactured by hand, from flax grown near Yeovil, Somerset, and prepared by what is termed the " dew ripening" process. The samples are in a bleached and unbleached state Hold, Amos, Barnsley. A carved frame for a looking glass. The glass, which is 74 inches by 50, is sur rounded by carving in pine of exquisite workmanship. Birds, fruits, moth, catterpillars, and butterflies, are hero represented with happy accuracy Horan, H. Islington. Specimens of prepared whalebone Hall, Baring-crescent, Exeter. Cheval screen in Berlin wool, Hearder, J. N., Plymouth. A powerful and peculiarly constructed magnet Horn, Henry, shipwright, Portsmouth Dockyard. A model of a 12-gun brig. It is on a scale of a quarter of an inch to a foot, and is fitted on a slip to launch, for the purpose of illustrating the manner in which the launching of a vessel is effected in the dockyard. The model is beautifully executed, and reflects great credit on Mr. Horn, particularly as it was made by candle-light, after the dockyard working hours. Harrison, Joseph Preston. Three looms. Two of them are -Fs wide (full size), and are constructed upon the most improved principle. The looms are adapted for weaving cotton, woollen, flaxen, or silken cloths. One of them possesses Messrs. Kenworthy and Bul lough's patent weft stopping motion and temple, and Mr. James Bullough's patent loose reed and break. This loom is calculated for weaving not less than 220 picks per minute, and is the best adapted for the pro duction of light goods. The other loom has the same patent motions applied to it, except that, in stead of having the loose reed and break of Mr. Bullough, it has the reed and break of Mr. Sellers, of Burnley, thereby rendering it more capable of weaving heavy goods. It will run 200 picks per minute. The first is the weft motion and temple of Messrs. Kenworthy and Bullough, which, whenever the weft thread breaks or becomes absent by the action of a small fork in connexion with the setting-on handle, stops the loom, and prevents it going on without weft. The temple is a simple self-acting movement, consist ing of an oblong box with a roller, futed or cut almost like a file, for a few inches at each end, which, by the action of the cloth in weaving, is made to revolve, and keeps the fabric at one uniform tension throughout; and in comparison to the old kind of temples is of great use to the weaver, as it dispenses with his at tention and care entirely in that particular, and, more over, keeps the sides, or " selvidges," of the cloth beautifully uniforni and good, and frees them from tears and perforations. To the above there is the positive taking -up motion, which puts in any desired number of " picks," or threads per quarter inch, by the application of a small wheel containing a certain number of cogs or teeth; this makes the fabric of uni form thickness. The third power-loom is one belong ing to ancient times. It was made upwards of half a century ago, It is composed principally of wood, a little iron, and some stone, and runs about sixty picks per minute (160 picks less than one of the new looms) Hornby and Co., Preston. Three model machines. They are only half the usual size Hick, Benjamin, and Son, Bolton. Model of improved compound hydraulic press. This model shows the ar rangement of an improved press, having four cylin ders of such area as in the aggregate is equal to 2,500 tons pressure. Among the various advantages attributed to the plan are named, first, that the four cylinders may be worked either all together or two at once; and, secondly, that the desideratum of having sound castings for the cylinder is obtained, each of those weighing only two tons, whereas one cylinder equal in power would weigh twenty tons as ordinarily made. This model has pumps and safety valves at tached, so that it may be worked in the Exhibition; it is equal in power to a six-inch cylinder press. There is a two horse high-pressure engine, on the oscillating principle; and there is also a six-horse high-pressure engine, on the direct acting principle, intended to work the machinery for spinning, dic., and for which Messrs. Benjamin Hick and Son are sending shaftings, pulleys, wheels, and fixings, as also a series of ornamental framing and pillars for carrying the same. A portable smith's hearth, with fan for blowing the fire. An artillery forge, with fan for blowing the fire, which is adapted for fixing upon a horse or mule, its weight being only about 1201 b. An improved ball safety valve, suggested and adopted by the late Mr. Benjamin Hick. A wheat cleaning machine, intended for the purpose of cleaning wheat or other grain from smut. It consists of an outside conical cylinder, formed by a series of files, and an inside cylinder formed by a similar series of files, leaving a space between them. The latter cylinder revolves freely on its axis, and the smut and other im purities are separated from the grain, and removed, the grain passing between the two cylinders whilst one of them is rapidly revolving. This machine will clean about 200 bushels of grain per hour. A model of a locomotive engine—a working model, made on a principle which was patented some years ago, by Messrs. B. Hick and San; besides a full-sized radial drill, and several otbor articles. A model of a pair of condensing steam-engines, of 120-horse power each, made on the independent frame principle; the cylinders of 54 inches diameter, and 5 feet wroko Haywood, James, Derby. Three etovea. Th a first is a burnished steel drawing-room stove, with on [lola orna ments, the hearth inlaid with Derbyshire pc xcelain in five panels, on which are painted the follov ring views of Derbyshire scenery;—The High Tor, Matlock Ferry, Dovedale, Chee Tor, and a view on the Der went at Matlock. The panels are separated by burnished steel beading radiating from a centre. The china slabs were made by Messrs. Locker and Co., Derby China Manufactory, and the painting executed by a Mr. Ap!ett. The second is a bright and block hall stove, of novel construction, in which the high conducting power of iron is turned to account on a principle invented by A. B. Struts, Esq., Berper; the inner case or cockle being cast with a great number of ribs or webs of iron, which, by thin conducting power, abstract heat from the parts in immediate con tact with the fire. By this means the heating surface is increased, and the heat of the ordinary cockle is lowered down and diffused over so large a surface as to obviate the injurious effects of the ordinary hot air stoves (To be continued.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The subjoined return of the number of packages received up to Saturday last in the foreign depart ments of the Exhibition assumes a peculiar signi ficance and importance from the fact that the period has now arrived which was fixed upon by the Exe cutive Committee for the removal of all packing cases from the building and for completing the distribution of articles. With very few exceptions our own part of the Exhibition will be thoroughly arranged in time for the opening, and from the data supplied to them the public will be able in some degree to judge how far contributors from abroad have equalled us or ex celled each other in this great contest not only of excellence but punctuallity. It will be seen from the return that Turkey has hitherto only sent two con tributions, and that from thence the great mass of goods forwarded are still in transitu. Russia, also, is only represented by 250 packages—a quantity hardly sufficient to fill the space assigned to that vast empire. The arrivals from France are larger than from any other country, and so far this is in harmony with the arrangements of the Royal Commission, which assigned to her the greatest space - within the building ; but a very considerable por tion of the contributions from our ingenious neighbours still remain to be received, and yes terday there appeared to be no prospect of a termina tion to their importations. The Germans are well up to the mark, and the Swiss, as we have repeatedly mentioned, have been laudably distinguished by the promptness which has characterised all their arrange ments. If the Turks are most behindhand with re spect to the reception of goods, the Belgians and French are most backward in their other arrange ments. It seems impossible that some of the most important foreig❑ departments of the Exhibition should be ready for a satisfactory opening on the Ist of May, but they will all, probably, make great ex ertions to have the parts of their several allotments next the centre aisle in order, and in this way, except upon a close inspection, the unfurnished state of some portions of the building may escape observation. The reader in glancing over the annexed return will not fail to be struck by certain obvious comparisons which it suggests. Thus, the United States, which had at first assigned to it only 10,000 superficial feet of space less than France, and which was ranked second in consideration by the Royal Commission, has only contributed 878 packages, while the States of the Zollverein send nearly 1,600. Again, the consign ment of Holland and Spain are nearly equalled by those of Tunis, and somewhat exceeded by China. Belgium strongly asserts her manufacturing and productive energy by forwarding 1,039 packages —a quantity which places her above Austria and the United States, and on a par with Prussia. Brazil, New Granada, Persia, and the Society Islands each send a solitary contribution ; Mexico and Peru four, and Western Africa nine. These figures cast a curious light upon the commercial enterprise of the world, and bring out in remarkable relief the extent to which political power and industrial energy run in parallel lines or diverge from each other. With re ference to our colonial possessions the data supplied are not less significant. Our young Australian pos sessions send nearly three times as many contributions as the West Indies, and from the latter the name of Jamaica is altogether omitted. From Canada we have promised us a display of 345 articles, and from Nova Scotia 35. India sends 436 contributions--a small quantity, perhaps, compared with countries younger in the practice of the productive arts, but great whe❑ contrasted with the contemporaneous offerings of other territories possessed of as old a standing in the world's history. The total number of foreign and colonial packages received up till Saturday evening was 10,082, and the present state of the preparations for the opening may be pretty well estimated from the fact that only 1,500 empty cases have as yet been sent out of the building.

We resume our account of the principal features which the Exhibition now developes, and, having sketched the most attractive objects in the eastern or foreign division of the interior, we now turn west ward into the space set apart for our native and colo nial products. And, first, of the display in the nave : —The character of that display will present a curious contrast to the manner in which our visitors from abroad have decorated their section of the centre aisle. Statues in bronze, marble, and plaster of Paris are introduced there, and will attract some attention ; but excellence has not been attained, for the most part, in this department, and in fine arts we shall be completely eclipsed. The Horse and Dragon of Mr. M. C. Wyatt will be much admired, and the Dog, by the same artist, treadi ng on a serpen t, w ill b e exa mined with some curiosity. O ur l awyers w ill survey withinterest, if they fail to recognize any likeness to the originals, two gigantic statues of Lords Eldon and Stowell, seated, and looking as ponderous as the learning of the courts could be expected to make any two individuals. Beyond these, and looking down from an appropriate elevation over the vast interior, stands the statue of him who was not for an age but for all time. There is something extremely apposite in the position which has been assigned to this me ritorious representation of the great dramatist, and all classes of our countrymen will recognise with unmingled satisfaction the presence among our na tional trophies of such an object. The great Cole brook-dale dome i s u p, b u t h as n ot yet been divested of its paper coverings. Rosse's telescope and the fountains intended to ornament the nave are approach ing completion. The frame of the Spitalfields silk trophy has been put up. On Thursday a beautiful model, of the plan of the orchestra for the Exeter Hall Con certs of the Harmonic Society, arranged by Costa, was brought in and placed. The larger . models of great bridges, and of the Liverpool Docks, are ;gyp. proaching completion. Chance's lighthouse , also, is nearly finished, and forms an exceedingly effective part of the general display. Over head the calico covering of the roof is rapidly spread oat, and Wends in long strips like a low sandy ehore at ebb tide. From each of the 30 sections into which the British Industrial Ex hibition has been divided pour forth upon the main avenue immense quantities of empty packing cases, and on either side the eye glances down openings and passages disclosing varied scenes of bustle and preparation. Over the whole space swell at inter vals the pealing notes of the great organ on the west ern gallery, as each pipe is tested, and the constructive process ascertained to be properly performed. The western half of the nave, true to the characteristics of our national industry—will be more remarkable for manufacturing and productive energy than for high art—for the capital and the resources of a great em pire than for appeals to the imagination, the senses, and the taste of spectators. We exhibit there, with out any reference to sightliness, enormous transverse sections of mahogany trees, and blocks and planks of Canadian timber—rough from the hands of the back woedsman. The gigantic specimens of our mineral products will be disposed outside of the building, in front of the western entrance. Foreigners will pause before those great masses, arranged so as to resemble, in some respects, the stupendous remnants of Egyptian architecture, but of deeper significance to the contem plative mind than even those time honoured memo rials of the Ptolemys and the Pharoahs. They will not fail to observe in those vast blocks and obelisks of coal a type of the force which sustains our national industry, and an evidence of that enterprise which has drawn from the bowels of the earth the deposits of pritneeval forests to light the forges of Birmingham, to drive the cotton-mills of Manchester, and to warns the hearths and darken the air of the great metropolis. Other objects, also, will be examined with interest, and among them those masses of granite and slate which have been sent from our quarries as specimens. Such materials illustrate the substantial and perma nent instincts of John Bull, and the vigour with which he applies himself to the roughest and most inflexible materials of nature in order to gratify his love of the solid and enduring. From the nave, and its continuation of analogous objects beyond the western entrance, let us pass into the department of machinery, on the north side of the building. Nearly all the leading features of that in teresting department have now been developed, and the exact character of the display may be accurately and succinctly defined. From an early period it was predicted that the collection would be more remarka ble for the excellence of each contribution, and for its adoption of the most recent improvements, than for any striking novelty. That anticipation turns out to be well founded, and in this great branch of industry, where we are comparatively without rivals, our repu tation rests mainly upon what the mechanical genius of the country has already successfully adopted. Yet there are points of interest to guide the steps of the uninitiated visitor amid that wonderful display, some of which from time to time we have attempted to point out. He may pause for a moment to examine Donnesthorpe's patent for opeuing cotton—a quarter of the right in which he has disposed of, it is said, for 25,0001. Mather's invention for printing calico in eight colours is not yet ready, but will be soon after the Exhibition opens, and will attract great attention. Another important novelty is the patent exhibited by Dalton, of Manchester, for calico printing on both sides. The show of Manchester tools by Whitworth developes a new adaptation of the well known princi ple, that tubular frames, besides their other advan tages, are better adapted for resisting the strain of ma chinery than solid masses of metal. Mr. Whitworth also claims to have solved a mechanical difficulty, long felt by the scientific world, and often announced as accomplished, but never hitherto successfully. He exhibits a machine which it can he ascertained by the touch, measures the 250,000 th part of an inch, and which it is believed may be made to measure a millionth part of the inch. Garforth, of Dukinfield, near Man chester, shows a very remarkable new rivetting ma chine, in which the direct action of the steam piston rod is substituted for that by levers under Fairbairn's invention. An elastic and directly controlable force is thus obtained by the simplest mechanical means. The hydraulic press punch of Hick and Sons, from Bolton, is illustrated by a small model ; yet the power and beauty of the arrangement are obvious, and the ex hibitors produce specimens of what their patent can ac complish. Instead of one, this press has four cylinders, and by this cumulative feature an enormous additional strain is obtained. Maudslay, the well known engineer, contributes two features to the display of machinery. One is a highly finished connecting rod, the bearings of which are of white iron instead of brass, thus securing less friction and more durability. The other is an in genious machine for coining medals, which substi tutes the use of a cam instead of a sere w,aud gives a result obtained by increased leverage instead of one obtained by increased momentum. Of Mr. Appold's centrifugal pump we have already spoken, but we may observe, in addition, that it is now in working order, and promises to be a very attractive object. By it the inventor calculates that with a wheel 20 feet in diameter, describing 53 revolutions per minute, he could discharge in that short time 560,000 gallons of water. wardin g i. ...a fe w cu , chanical con trivances are exhibited, but we may mention the mor ticing and tenon machines of Furness, from Liverpool, and the sash-bar machines used by Fox and Hen derson in the construction of the building. Westrup, of Wapping, shows a new and ingenious construction of a corn mill. Watkins and Hill a beautiful ex planatory model of the steam-engine. The only marked novelty in the printing press department, besides Applegarth's machine, is a hand press, exhibited, we believe, by Ransom and May, of Ipswich, and which inks itself. We have now gone as minutely as the object of the present notice would justify over some of the more striking features of the department of machinery in motion, yet, before we quit that part of the Exhibi tion, let us notice a rather remarkable implement for plaining stone, produced there by an American con tributor named Morey. The railway section of the Exhibition—that which for years past has absorbed so large a portion of our mechanical and engineering skill—will be examined with great interest by an in quiring public. Visitors will expect to see locomo tives set in order like so many prize oxen at a cattle show, with an immense heating surface, huge driving wheels, and a power of steam pressure astoundingly great. The department has only within the last few days been opened, and we are unable therefore to judge what position it may occupy in the general display ; but already the anticipations to which we have alluded have been realized in the arrival of a monster engine contributed by the North-Western Railway, and the largest and most powerful ever made to run on the narrow gauge. This overgrown machine has driving wheels eight feet in diameter, and is, in point of fact, a moving mountain of iron. Two other locomotives had previously taken up their position ; one, a small racehorse, adapted for short branch lines or light traffic, and having a tender combined with it, is ex hibited by Mr. England; the other, made by Ste phenson, on Cracapton's patent, is a very interesting contribution from the important principle which that patent developes. An additional axle, without wheels, is introduced to bear the strain of the machinery, and the axle of the driving wheels is thus lightened of a portion of the work which hitherto it has had to per form, and which has rendered it so apt to give way. The only other object in the locomotive department worthy of notice is Barlow's sleeper and rail combined with continuous bearings. We pass on into the section of fixed machinery and admire the splendid marine en gines of Bolton and Watts, and of Penn, remarkable for their economy of space, their direct action, and the finished workmanship they display. Then come the Nasmyth hammer and the Britannia hydraulic press, each wonders in their way, and well calculated to astonish spectators by their very appearance without seeing them in action. We hurry through the fine arts court, which is now filling with a great variety of models and specimens too numerous to allude to, through the furniture court on the north side of the nave, which contains a very splendid sideboard, from Messrs. Cooke, of 'Warwick, elaborately decorated with carved scenes from Kenilworth. Near at hand the section of mineral manufactures is disposed, and most prominent in that collection are the polished granite, porphyry, and serpentine of Cornwall. The specimens of chimneypieces, can d e l a b r a, vases, inlaid tables, and other ornamental objects exhibited in these materials, are surprisingly beautiful, and will take the admiration of the public by storm. The Serpentine Company of Penzance are the principal exhibitors of this manufacture, which is a recent one in its origin, and in addition to its intrinsic excellence has thus the charm of novelty. Passing the envelope folding ma chine of Mr. De la Rue, which is not far off from the point of the building at which 'we have now arrived, we take the opportunity of correcting an error into which we fell with regard to its invention. Mr. Edwin Hill and Mr. Warren De la Rue are the joint patentees. The credit of the original idea, and of its development to a considerable extent, are due to the former gentleman, but he received indispensible as sistance from his co-patentee's mechanical ingenuity. Mr. Edwin Hill is brother of Rowland Hill, the great author of the penny postage stamps, and it was while prosecuting the details of changes consequent on that reform that the thought of the envelope folder was suggested. We have never seen a machine which so nearly approaches to the characteristics of human labour in its action, and whatever other objects in the Exhibition escape observation, we predict that that will not. Let us now ask our readers to step with us for one moment into the carriage court—not to de cide on the relative merits of broughams, britzkas, flys, dogcarts, gigs, jaunting cars, or any other form of private vehicle, but to examine for one moment a spick and span new omnibus presented for approval. Of all metropolitan ills there is none which is entitled to take precedence of the present " buss nuisance." People read with a thrill of he cror how the pirates of the ! Indian Ocean, when tho-7 capture peieonees, pen them up in iron cages, where they can neither sit, stand, or lie down, and thus expose them to the heat of a tropical sun. But is that worse than the torture which the unhappy Londoner suffers, who, compelled to take an I economical threepenny rile to one of the suburbs on a boiling summer's day, finds himself one of 1 3 insiders, several of whom are mothers with children, which don't " count," and yet cannot be squeezed or sat upon ? There he is, unable to sit up, becaus! his hat will be smashed by bumping against the r oof, held as in a vice by the two passengers placed either side of him—his corns trode upon by everybody who comes in or goes out of the convevance--hts temper tried by everlasting stoppages, his kneecaps almost torn off by the struggles and dangers of tbst n middle passage." The omnibus now on view in. the Crystal Palace is, we suppose, intended to meet that evil—we trust that it may. We cross the western end of the building, under the organ galler,h and pass along the department of agricultural unP', e : ments. The merits of that department we shall toe, an early opportunity of pointing out in detail , an d for the present we abstain from entering into Par t r culars. The farmer, however, who visits the Dal? i ii bition will find much to i ns t ruc t hi m h e re. w learn, in the increasin g energ y o f th e implem ent makers as a class, in the eagerness with which th e y have sought for accommodation within the Crystal Palace, in the excellence of their contributions as CO °3 ; pared with those of any other nation in the saint cl iss, some useful lessons with reference to the Pa s and some cheering h o p es f or th e f u t ure . He will se e the deep anxiety f oun d e d on th e soun d b as is of Os d which exists among a body of highly enterprising ac e intelligent manufacturers to extend to socultus those mechanical aids whi c h h ave ra i se d o th e r branch es of the national industry to their present colossal pia; portions. The public at large, too, though theY in 9 not be able to estimate the value of grubbers, scarab tiers, clod crushers, pulverisers, and harrows- - th le able only to form a vague conception of what 1 : h vast and formidable array bef ore them can accomplish for the farmer, will yet gather e noug h to convi pc i them of the influence which the implement makers , . a a body, exercise upon the cultivati on o f the soil, a. ° of the firm root which they have tak e n in the coun t qf as a producing interest. From the manufacturers 'is ploughshares and pruning hooks to those of l t e o peaceful weapons is but one step in the Crr re Palace. The hardware and cutlery departments at, just beginning to show signs of life and arrangemea..: and it would be premature yet to speak of their 0 3 tr r striking features.
