What informatioa diem register convey ?—A register of

committee. A very meagre list on toe b.oks at present.
The committee will give any reasonable kind of assistance,
not involving the actual incurring the responsibility. The
only establielement of any importance at present open is
Melees. Harriman's, ntar the Pamlico Pier; others are con-
templated.
This being diet:it of the questions and answer,,
Mr. Ross concluded by onserving that he had only
farther to add that the commissioners relied very much upon
the general dieoretion of the local committee. It should be
understood that though the comnitssioners were emphatic
in fixing the latest time (or goads to be sent to the Ist of
March, yet they were willing to listen to representations
Ifrom local committr es as to unavoidable delays.
Mr. SCHWABE trederstood the oommisai, nen not to insist
on inee seen as prints being in London by the let of March,
where it wee II presented that they would be liable to spoil
by lying so long; in such cases, if local c immittees gave an
undertaking, that they were satisfied the go ids would be
forthcoming in two or three week. later, it would be sada-
factory. The answer, therefore, to the questi .n' s. Would
any goats he received in London after the Ist of March,"
was "No ;" but at the same time a discretion was given to
the general committee, where they were satisfied the indul-
gence would not be abused, that they might apply for an
extension of time in such particular cases.
Mr. BUTTERWORTH übset ved, as to Eew designs in fancy
fabrics for spring and summer good., • limit to the let of
March would Include the very best of the season.
The Bunion of Ilsrecniunrien suggested that no extension
of limo should be allowed by the commith e, except on this
principle—that an arrangement for ouch indulgence should
have been sought and obtained from the local committee
before the 14th id Peruery, when a meeting of the com-
mittee cud bo held to apply to the royal cotomisai mere for
such extension. The suegeation was afterwards adopted in
a resolution moved by his lordship, and secondeu by Mr.
Fairbeirn.

Mr. SCHWABE said parties fitting their own counters
would be allowed to put in drawers underneath, in which
they would be allowed to keep !Aries as a reserve to substi-
tute for pieces of the saute kind, when they bad become
uotit to eznibit, from being soiled or otherwise deteriorated.
Mr. FAIRBAIHN said, as thine would be machinery at
work producing fabrics, such as yarn, and cloth, and prints,
it was asked of the commissioners, would the: is good, be
allowed to be sold during the eshibiuon t The answer was,
"Certainly not, during the elhibition, but afterwards you
may take them nits the City, or anywhere else, for the pur-
pose of disposing of them."
Mr. Rosa, in illustration of the principle to be adopted,
acid they wool I allow the Illustrated London News to be
printed thi re, the white paper to be taken into the build-
ing and removed again immediatily alt• a passuig through
the machine, anti disposed of through the ordinary channels
elsewhere, but not to be sold in the building.
Mr. FAIRVAIRE, in answer toe question, said he under•
stood oat water would be supplied by the commissioners
for machinery and other purpoies, but not for any dirty pro-
cesses of manufacture.

The proceedings, attir same further observations, termi-
nated with a vote of thanks to the deputation and to the
mayor for presiding.
