deal part of the work, and who has evieced a degree of seal
and ability which entitles hint to the highest commendation.
The model, for the make of convenience in construction, has
bees removed from Mr. Brown's offices to ► large room over
Messrs. Milner's establishment in Lord street; ►red i• is bu;
just to say that these gentlemen have most liberally placed •
large portion of their premises at the disposal of the com-
mittee '

without riquiraig any remunersto n. It would be
premature to enter into minute details Wilk regard to the
work itself, and we would not tempt public curiosity too
far till the model has attained that awes of complete

asses which will render it fit for g r iespectioo.. We
may, however, satisfy our readers on one or two point..
Considerable trouhle has been gone to to produce the
effect of water. The materiel to be used is glees, the
manufacture of St. Helen's. It will be uagrouhel on the
upper surface, to give it the appearance of waves, the
under part to be polished aid silvered, so as to reffect the
objects by which it will be overshadowed. No fewer than
1,500 " model vessels" are in course of construction, and
several of these, intended for the river and the more proino
went situations in the docks, will be flashed with great secu-
re cy and care, in order to illustrate the varied character of
the ships and steamers. The characteristics of the American
liners, both Cunard and Collins, will, of course, be laithfully
represented ; ard, so far as is practicable, the difference
the build of English and foreign vessels generally will be
delineated. There will, we understand, be 120 steam nude,
large gad small. Another feature in the model will be the
figures in the streets, which will include cabs, omnibuses,
and other vehicles. The men and bones are cut out of
cardboard, and are eiceedingly perfect, when we take into

aoconnt their minutenees, a 'man bring no larger than the
extremity of • fine pen's point. The glau-case for the
model, which hu been beautifully designed by Mr. Gran
them, will be executed by Yuan. Samuel and James Rolm&
Several additions and improvement' hey. been made to it
tier* it was noticed in our columns. The tympanum of the
pediment, 'trotted of beinu figures carved in relief, u was at
first pet posed, will be tined with stained glass, having the
royal arms depicted on the centre. The 'Met will be very
rich. Beneath the arms will be the words, " The Port of
Liverpool," and on scrolls round the case appropriate mottos
will be introduced.

DESTRUCTION OF SOME "ARTICLES FOR

EXHIBITION."

The late fire at Summer.hill, Dublin, destroyed " four
eplecdid curiages " belonging to Mr. Thomas Hutton,
intended for the Great Exhibition. This calamity has
originated the following corrupmdence between Mr. Hutton
and the Dublin committee, who have written also to the

executive committee requesting that the time for admission
may in Mr. Hutton's instance be extended to u late a period
as possible. The following is the correspondence in question

" Jan. 11, 1851.
" Resolved—The Dublin executive committee for the
Great Exhibition of 1S•i1 take the opportunity of this their
first meeting since the serious •isitation in which their
respected and esteemed fellow cilsen, Mr. Hutton, has been
involved, to express their deep and sincere eynspathy on the
occasion, and they hope that, notwithstanding the great

destruction of prcipertioccasioned by this disastroes cot flag-
ration, he may yet be enabled to talc.: his place in the Great
Exhibition of 18.51.—RoBEUTHAItHISON, JOHN LENTAIONI,
Honorary Secretaries.
Summer-hill, January 11, 1851.
"Sirs, Your kind and valuable letter, together with the
very greit3icg rceolwion that was passed by the executive
committee, at their meeting this day. have been received by
me with strong feelings of thankfulness, end I cannot ►flow
the evening to pass over without assuring Tou how grateful
1 feel, and how anxious I shall be to fulfil their kind and
patriotic wishes if it be possible. My son and I earnestly
desire to do so, and we would be glad to know th•. latest
period at which any works will be received. To Mr. Wallis,
I beg through you and your kind committee. to offer my
very reopeetful and heuttelt acknewledgments.—THOMAß
HUTTON." . _

Among the many individual, who have offered premiums
to tempt manufacturers to compete in various departments
we may include Mr. Allen, el Dublin, who I:as off, red the
following : "Being thoroughly convinced from t :patience
of the capabilities to manufacture in this country (Ireland),
I wish to do my part in promoting this deeply important
object, and accordingly offer the following premiums, viz.:
IC guineas for the two beet pieces of tweed for trouperings,
made in Connaus,ht or Munster ; 10 guineas for the two
best, handsomest, and newest style of tweed, mad•
in Leinster ; 10 guineu for the two best pieces
of Irish frieze--DCWPCI4 of colouring, make, and price, will
be considered by the adjudicatore; 10 guineas for the three
best wove designs in flax, applicable for Twinge ; five
guineas for the three beet samples of new style tabinet vest-
tags ; five guineas for the three best designs for embroidered
vests. It must be distinctly understood that these goods
must be supplied at a marketable price, so as to compete
with Engliso or Scotch goods ; that style, quali.y, and price,
will be taken into consideration ; and that prtmiume will be
withheld if there is not sufficient merit in any
cost. Also, that before offering them far sale elsewhere the
parties &rot° supply me with suck further quantities of each
ss I may require. The samples should, if possible, be deli-
vered before the end of the present yea. The adjudication
will be vested in competent pawing, who will be satiatietery
to all parties."

CITY OF LONDON COMMITTEE.

THIS DAT.

The City of London Committee have had abundant
proof of the impossibility of impressing a large body of per-
sons with the necessity of restricting their applications within
the terms laid down by the authorities. Eves now applicants
for apace drop in at the office. of the committee ; and having
stated that they believe they are a little lee, request that
they may have a certain portion allotted to thee; end this
in the lace of the positive announcement th at the application
lin was closed on the :net of last October.

Ni arly one hundred apt:tale yet remain to be considered
by the Council of Chairmen, who have been summoned to
meet in•roornat the house ol the S cie'y of Arts on Tuesday
next, at II o'clock, when it is anticipated that ail the appeals
will receive final judgment. The willingnese with which
the committees of a.ctions have attends I to the representa-
tions ol disappointed appl;cants, end the patience shown in
the reconsideration of rejected claims, are worthy more thane
passing word ol praise.
We may state now that all the committees of sections for
London have sent in their returns to the central office, with
the exception of that section which has to deal with agricul-
tural implements. Many practical difficulties beat this com
mine,. They have to deal is i b articles which occupy separately
so much space that they have bound it almost impossible
regarding strictly the justice due to applicants, to limit them-
tellies to the given area. It is new anticipated that teats will
be provided for the reception or agrioultural implement,.
We may reasonably hope that, by the end ci next week, the
City of London Cmimitree will he enabled make their
final report to the Royal Commishoters ; and it is believed
that no industry of any importance carried on in the metro-
polis will want a worthy representative in the Ilya. Park
Handbag.
