the Cherubim of Commerce of the United Kingdom, by
the Board of Trade, calling the attention of thou which are
established in the various seats of British industry to the
machinery for producing manufactures, and to the menu-
facturees theneelves, which are exhibited in the Paris Belli.
bition by Prams and other European countries, 'ludo( those
chambers which are situated in mu great sea-port towns, to
the various kinds of imports, and especially those from the
colonies of the United Kingdom.
At the came time a suggestion is made, that it would be
advisable if the Chambers were to depute some of their
members possessing technical knowledge on the subject to
visit the Paris Exhibition, for the purpose of furnishing
a detailed report of the result of their observations. It
is believed that the progress of manufacturing produc-
tion shown on this 'Demises, and its probable competi-
tive influence on the markets of the world, will be
found to be well worthy of the serious consideration of the
producers of the United Kingdom ; and, should the sugges.
tion be carried on with proper spirit, the Board of Trade
expresses an opinion that a series of reports on the indus-
trial position and recent proven of Europe would doubtless
be obtained, far more practical and useful than any reports
which the Board could hope to obtain itself through its
own agency.

Earl Harrington writes to the chairman of a pro-
jected meeting relative to Poland—.. When at the last meet-
ing the follower of my friend Mr. Urquhart disturbed the
meeting, and by their amendment and their antagonistic
tanks prevented the resolutions being carried, and a clever
gentleman voted me out of the chair, and panned himself
of my goat, I left the meeting, laughing at the latter put
of the performance. I have now only to add that the Lite-
rary Association of the Friends of Poland continue to act in
the spirit of the resoluticom, and endeavour to get up meet-
ings in every part of the unpin in favour of that country."
