THE GREAT EXIIIBITION.

MEETING OF BRITISH EXHIBITORS.
An adjourned meeting of tho exhibitots, who have
been excluded from the building on the Ist of May, by the
decision of the 'fusel Curumisaioners, was held on Saturday
night, in the large room of the Trevor Arms, Kuiglitabridge,
which was demely eruaded. H. E. Hoots, Esq., chair-
man of the committee, presided.
The CHAIIINIAN have the honour to appear
before you in COMplinnel, with your reailutiun of last e yell-
ing, and will briefly state what has occurred since. You
are all aware that a letter was vent to the Royal Corarnis-
Mourn to ask them to receive a deputation from the exhibitors,
to which they sent a most gracious answer, which I shall
read to you presently. 1 may, however, state that'
Dime last evening I have visited most of the departments of
this Great Industrial Exhibition of All Nationa, and there
is hat one opiniou—(loud cheers)—there is but one opinion
as to the illiberality of the conception. I don't speak of the
thing fowl!, because I believe that It will never be carried
into effeet—(gnait cbeeriul), but of the illiberality of the
conception of exeluding exhibitors, and it has created a
feeling among our foreign brethren of mistrust lest the same
illibenelity might be earned out toward., them in other
matter'. (Loud cries of " Hear.") That exclusive body,
the Royal Ae.ulemy, who are accused of being the moot
illiberal wait ty in Europe, never refused admission to the
exhibitor.. (Chian.) ludeed, it in the custom of all 1 know
in this country to admit those who contribute to the gratili
cation of the public by the formation of the Exhibition; and
it has been reserved to the Royal Commissioners of the Ex-
hibition of the Industry of All Nations to earn for themselves
the European, 1 sus going to soy, but more properly
speakin4 the universal and unenviable notoriety of most
urgently entrauting the a huh' world to seed their prosier-
hues to this grand and glorious Exhibition, and then
making a demand of three guineas before they will admit
these very nu.n aho have so nobly sacrificial time and money
to produce the great etfett. ((heat applause.) 1 must gay
that the C/111%4.1011 of the enlightened and enterprising,
from the more distant countries, who, trusting to our
cotn-
mou courtesy, and let me add, common honesty, have so
proudly entered into this friendly and exciting contest—
bean and soul as they appear to me to have duric—is not
one of surprise merel), but of distant—(cheer')—sod they
declare to me that it England behave in so illiberal a man-
ner. they will leave their goods covered, to show their
disgust ; and who can blame them ? (Hear.) 1 will now
simply state that, in compliance with your resolution, 1
sent the following note to the Royal Commis-
sioners, and hays been honoured by this reply,
which 1 will read; and sure am I that when
the illustrious Prince, whose gracious heart conceived
the glorious object of uniting the industrious energies of
peaceful men in this race of emulation--instead of horrible
RIO devastating war—knows that it is the desire of the VI.
hibitors to be person, and to witness the pleasure with
which the nobles of the world-1 mean of mind a. well es
of hereditary greatnessi—look ou our productions he wit at
once request the odious rule to be cancelled ; and when Mt
respectful remonstrance. reaches his ears, there is little
doubt that we shall have free admission. Siner I came into
the rmou, l have heard that the contributors from Austria,
France, :11111 tiernmuy have only to sign their names to their
mi
certificates, and they will beat once adtted. 'the follow-
ing ia the letter thin was addresnal to the royal commis-
sioners:
"My Lonla and Gentlemen,—At a numerous meeting of
the exhibitors it was unanimously resolved that a deputa-
tion alsould be appointed to wait on the Royal Commis-
sioners, nspeetfully to urge upon them the justice of ad-
mittina the exhibiturs on the Ist of May end during the
exhibition. As chairman of the committee 1 shall feel
honoured by your appointing a meeting for to-morrow (Sa-
turday), the meeting standing adjourned to that day tai
receive our report. 1 have the honour to be, de.,
" 11. E Chairman."
The following Is the reply I received :
" Sir.- -1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 2.ith instant, on the subject of the admission of the
exhibitors on the let of May, and during the continuance of
the ethibition, and 1 have to inform you that it will be nub-
milted to the eommiasioners at their tint meeting, which
will take place uu y !Nlonda next.
1 have the honour to be, &e.,
" EDUAU E. llowniNO."
Mr. J. IsIINTORN moved,
"'that in eonaequence of the Royal Commioionero not
meeting till Monday, it is considered advisable by your coin-
mitts,. to adjourn this meeting till the evening of that day, '
when they hope to be able to lay before you the answer of
the Royal Conimi.aluas,"
Mr. IL HARVEY ...cornied the resolution, and said he
was most anxious to impress upon all of them the import-
ant". of stauding together anti acting together. (Cheers.)
Their foreign brethren had shown a proper sympathy with
them in stating that thev would cover up their goods. (Cries
of " ('aver them with black.") He felt satisfied that they
were hoot anxious to ace the British exhibitors placed tin
the same footing with themselves.
Mr. MINTOILN raid it had been suggested, but he
finned ut recommend it
on , that the ex should not
pennewith the works Monday untilhibitors they obtained free
admissions.
Mr. ROBERTS, of Manchester, said he had just been in-
formed by a gentleman on his right that a meeting of the
Austrian exhibitor had been held at Vienna, and it was
then agreed that, rather than pay fur admisidou, they would
remain out on the Ist of May. (Cheers.)
Alter some conversation.
The resolution was put and carried with unanimity.
The CllA.litalAN said • paper had Iwo% put into his
hands, which showed that there were seven thousand ex-
hibitors—that the value of the props rty exhibited was ten
millions staling, and therefore tho overage value of the
contributions of each was upwards of LION. (Loud
Cheers)
Thanks wry., then voted to the Chairman, and the meet-
ing separated.
