FURTHER LIST OF BRITISH EXHIBITORS,
WITH AN ACCOUNT 01 GOODS TIM AIDE
TO DISPLAY.

Abraham and Co., Lord-street, Liverpool. A ttin-
optric lantern, a dioptric lantern, a microscope, and a
sketching camera. The first of these articles is Beechuy's
patent. As a scientific instrumeut it has claims to a
power, variety of effects, and simplicity unequalled by
any other lantern. The microscope claims nu novelty,
except that it has the new lenticular achromatic prism,
invented by A. Abraham and Co., as a substitute for the
mirror in examining hoed or test objects, combining the
advantages of the achromatic condenser with a mum
intense illumination than obtained by the usual concave
mirror. The camera is intended for held sketching. This
camera will enable the artist to make a sketch 12 inches
square, and it is so portable that it may be carried in the
coat pocket.
Atkinson, Dublin. Mahogany jacquard poplin loom.
Lea yes, 1.R.C.5., Newark. :Six-omen of a new process of

Dirkin, Alderman, Nottingham. A new lace machine.
The machine is constructed upon tue lever principle,
and bus extraordinary piked, 'wing calculated, when in
full operation, to accumplich about 130 motions a minute.
The cameo, which is of east iron, was produced by
Messrs. Reyton and Savage, of New Leutou. though the
machine, iu it. completeuew, has been built on Mr.
Birkin's own premise:, at Lanford ; its value is upwards
of Gag. The jacquard: apparatus is ou the Manchester
principle, and contains several new adaptations to the
production of fresh patterns
Bantus, Langley, Hull. A geometrical staircase. The
height is 22 feet 11 inches, and it is supported only et
the tepenti .botteet, admitting a ametlete ,pf parsons et
go up and doWn at the same time without coming tato
collision. The hand-railing is constructed upon an en-
tirely new principle by being cut at right angles to the
edge of the rail.
Cochran and Proven, Glasgow. Two vases; one of them
is an Egyptian nuptial rase—there are Itgures in basso
rellern to represent the various stages of the ceremouy.
Tlav figures are drawn by Mr. George Mosonan, the or-
naments designed by Mr. Steele, Lula the vase itself by
Mr. Thomson, of Messrs. Baird and Thomson. 'the
Necond vase is Italian in conception. The figures in re-
lief are intended as ideal ri presentations of all nations
that furnish material fur the exhibition. Thin design is
Mr. Mosemuis. Thu casting of both is by Messrs.
Miller and Ferguson.
Colbert and Sans, Great Queen-street, Loat.. The Dio-
ropha carriage.
Cornforth, John, Birmingham. A piece of iron telegraph
wire one mile Mug.
Cattle, 'Lanes Beverley. A washstand.
Clarke, J., Junes,
Birkenhead. Mattel of a I
steam boat. The vessel, which is called the Prince of
Wide'', has been the work of 16 month*. application, and
we are disposed to think that a more elegant and exact
model of a steamer will nut find its way to the Exhibi-
tion. The model is laid down to the scale of half au inch
to a foot, and the idea is, that it should farm the model
of a steamer of 200 feet keel, 30 feet beam, 1131 feet depth
of hold, 101 feet load line, register 032 tons, engines 400-
horse power, and the speed 14 knots light, and 12 knots
deep, immersion. The chief thing sought for in this
model is to obtain the lines of a fast-going steamer Win-
blued with great carrying powers, and this object, it is
believed by those peteone who have inspected the
model, has been succissfully actomplished. The same
Made and exactitude applied to the hull have
been carried throughout the design. The vessel is
furnished with Ferrer and Robinson's patent steering-
wheel, Gladstone's windlass, Porter's anchors, patent
gun-carriages, patent ballast-box, and all those improve-
ments which a ship can pewees. The whole of the cord-
age is properly made to scale, each strand being laid sepa-
rately as in a ship, and then worked up into shrouding.
The compass acts truly, the bell has the whip's name en-
graved alma it, the night-lights are fixed as directed by
the Admiralty regulations; mid so minute has been the
care in preparing this model, that the nags have been
embroidered to scale. She is also fitted with lifeboat and
other essentials. The yesiel has two chimneys, hire and
aft, fur separate sets of boilers. She is fitted with Mor-
gads vaunt prom-nue improved. The flouts or paddles,
by this 'plan, leave the eater vertically, preventing that
lift of water which attaches to the OnninUlt paddle-
wheels, and which makes a serious difference in the rate
of speed. This patent is coming auto use, being applied
to all tliti Holyheal hums except the Columbia, and it is
also being introduced into the West India mail steamer*.
Dundyvan Inn Works, Glasgow. Large east iron bell.
Dowhiggin and Ilolland, London. A magnificent carpet,'
inanulaeturcd by that liens by command of her Majesty.
It is a velvet carpet, made utter the design of M. Gruner,
and consists of it variety of rich arabesque forms and
wri Alt, of flowers made to r semhle nature, surrounding
a delicate and exquisite centre piece, in which is woven
in Roman letters the year WI. The colours in the
wreaths of flours are remarkably tine, and are arranged
with the greatest possible taste; and although the colours
employed are of the richest and most beautiful character,
they are all so perfectly well balanced as not to permit of
any one ur more colours distracting the eye, or destroying
the calm antlagrecable ensemble which pervades the whole
of this admirable, production. The dimensions of the
ours are 41 het 111 17 hat: pod It le intended to be mot
to the Exhibition, with a variety of other articles of feria-
tua, or an equally high character.
Driver, Jaime, Wakefield. A novel timepiece.
Dalton, John, Ibillingwoeth. Machine to print calico on
both sides. It is intentleil to he exhibited as applied to
the printing of pocket handkerchiefs, the same panels
minutely correepmuliug is outline being impressed On
both sidis of the tedium The machine is alauconstructed
so that when not required to print on both sides, it will
'Kmrte as a double printing machine, equable of printing
two pieces at the sane time. The distinguishing feature
of novelty in the constructiint of the machine consists in
the adoption of a new description of revolving cylinder,
instead of the twills try from cylinder, whereby the inven-
tor is enabled to di-pens entirely with the use of the
blanket and lapping, and to produce a more uniform im-
pression from the engraved roller. A saving of one-
third its power, and the avoidance of blanket seams, lap-
ping marks, and other disadvantages attendant upon the
pneent system, are also effected.

Jackson, Lizabeth, 47, 11astbank-street, Southport. A

years of are, and flamerly laboured for years far below

tier shaft, U. great depth, and sustained severe and lasting
injury. Subsequently she married a poor ti.herunin of
Southport, and is the mother of 11 children, sight of
whom are ,till living and I her, ller first attempt
to contribute to the support of the family was, by making
little models of engages, churches, dec., and adorning
them w:th sand and shells guinineh upon the surface.
With the money thus earned she tried to form shell flowers,
but only in a small way, and with limited mains, and by
no means good materials; till one day her husband came
home alter a severe storm, and mentioned that he had
uud aud left on the beach a branch of a tree covered
.th what he called barnacles adhering to it. She re-
t..
estcd him to bring it home, as she thought she could
make something of it. She found the shells to be of
a kind altering excellent material for the construction
of (lowers. Each pair cbiralve) consists of two large and
two smaller ov.srlapping plates, and one long taper
proboscis-like filament of shell. Thew her husband
procures I'm her in large quantities; and having cleansed
them and made them beautifolly white, this ingenious
and wholly self-taught artist proceeds to construct
flowers from natural models, with a taste and judg-
ment which would be rich gifts in any station of
life, but which, under the eirettrustances, ore most ex-
traordinary in a poor 1141mo:tit's wife. A persoa seeing
some specimens of her skill, ordered some more, which
were to be of the most elaborate character, as
they were destined her the great Exhibition.
She corm& ted thm, :mil learned, to her great
dikappsditttuent, when delivered and paid for, that
the purchaser deemed them his own, and posi-
tively refused to attach her name to them. It
was then too late for her to contnteuce afresh and cum-
. .. . .
