FRENCH GOVERNMENT ORANF FOR THE

EXHIBITION.

The report of M. Benoist d'Azy en the credit of 483,000
francs for the cop( nses of the &Whitt .n of London has been
distributed at the Assembly. The committee not only ap-
proves the credit, and proposes to the Assembly to grant it
d'urgenes, but demands a grant of 100,000 francs to the
Minister of Agriculture sod Commerce for the purchase of
patterns, drawings, and various matters, and a grant of
50,000 francs as a subvention to the woikmen and foremen
who shall be au.kurised to go to the Ezhib.tion. The
following ground. are s'e'ed by the eimmittee as justifying
these grants :—" We have coarsely:, endeavoured to o Beet
sdditioaal information, having received communicatims
both from the memb.n of this committee and from
the directors of the Conservatoire des Arts-et Metiers,
that admir,ble institution which has rendered such great
services to manufactures. It results from oar inves-
tigations and delib -ration, that all the advantages that may
be derived iron this eznibition will not be eb.aroed by
merely furnishing the means of acquiring from it some
specimens of products that our manufacturen require as
patterns either tor internal consumption, or to compete
advantageously in forage markets. At the period of We
inoibition of Berlin, one of the most distirguished mann-
facturen of France beught oat of his own peket 30,000
francs' worth of utteres, in the generous intention of pro-
mAing French manufactures. Is t►at which was at
that time useful lees so on this great memos ? The
Chambers of Commerce, and our great manufa,tories, will
doubtless themselves mahatmas ascrilices fur that purpose ;
bat should not mesas be provided for aiding them, or sup-
plying that which they du not feel bound to do ? It will
also be assuredly necessary to commission a certain number
of persons conversant in technic:l procredinge, to ruche short
nixes by which they may remsuaber the catchiest' and pro-
MINI we may have occasion to, copy, and of which we would
furnish the details to our artisans and manufscturers, by
adding to the riches of our collsciuu at the

eotuervatoire. These notes would not in themselves
occasion much expense, but the labour aftawards necessary
on them would be not a little costly. In fine, we may be
obliged to purchase some new and simple agricultural
machines, whose price may not much exceed that of a draw-
ing, but which may be considered useful. For these differ-
ent objects we have thought a sum of 100,000 francs should
be added to the credit and placed at the diaposal of the
Minister of Commerce. This is seed which may produce
valuable fruit. We have considered, in short, that it would
Consist with tie g I wish of the French manufecturers
Ito enable Our skilful workman ‘Zd foremen to au so
products in the competition of which their lives ars passed.
Throughout England subscription. are set on foot with a
similar view. In other manufacturing countries a:so *hada
gement. are waking. France would not certainly be
left in the background. The chambers of commerce, she
consultative chambers of manafactures, even the towns will
seek doubtless the mesas of providing for this, the great
manufactories will do it directly. But to encourage this
movement, to show the interest we all take in its develop-
ment, we have considered that a credit should be placed
at the diatom,' of the Minister of Commerce, a
credit which must be used with great reserve, by not devoting
it to those who can pay their own *sperm., but by aiding
the poorest, imposing on them in every ease only a portion
of the travelling expenses, which may be reduced by con-
tracts made with the °where of public conveyances. The
state could obtain contrite s at reduced prices analogous to
those of pliernre trains, which increase every year,
to the great advantage of the population. S Mill of
these workmate and foremen may be *elected from
the superior workmen of the national rnaunfacories
of Sims, the Ci .belina, Beauvais, the School des Arse et
Metiers, or the ini,i.ary or neval workshops. This is not an
idle matter, sad easureoly manufacture. will reap the
useful fruits of this concourse of intelligerce, which will
exhibit to each workman the perfection to which he should
attempt to attain, arid the means of arriving at it. It is
announced that several English manufacturen intend to
place in just* vesidein with their products the rudest im-
plements successively abandoned. Every manufacturer may
see if he be tome steps in advance, cr some points in arrear ;
gad if the Instruments and the raw product be the same, he
may observe what me; be effected by the band of the work-
man. We have considered that for this kind of subvention
thareshould be Wowed a credit of 60,000 franc..
