ItintA.—lntelligence of considerable activity on the part
of exhibitors reaches us from India. It is stated that the
renowned Delhi seal cutters have nearly finished the seals
which are being cut fn the Queen and Prince Albert, under
the supgintendence of Budi-oo dean UI e Knan. The seal
for the Queen is dercribed se a contalian, with the corners
rut off, on which is engraved as inscription in !Endangers.
Prince Albert's seal is cut on a blood atone. The inscrip-
tions are in the true grsudine style of the Eut. Besid
these, Buda oo deen has prepared two beautiful emeralds for
usl.eings, to be precasted by himself u specimeus of bin

are enabled to saw once that arrangements have been mad*
to facilitate the registration of designs props...l for exhibition,
with the view of protecting them from piracy.
2. Designs applic Ible to the foil .wsug clones of articles of

. -
manufacture or substances may be the to jests of Fre:Melon-1
registration :
i. Original Designs for °regimenting :—Articles composed
wholly or chieliy of metal. Articles composed wholly or
chiefly of wood. Article* composed wholly or chiefly of glees.

the date of regietret ion, and may be extended for a further
period of six months, by order of the Board of Trade.
6. The mecum', forms and eonnitions having been ob-

8. On and after lot February, MI, instead of proceeding
to the Designs-offies in Somerset-house, exhibitor; will bo
enabled to effect the registration at the building of the ex.
hibition in Hyde-park without payment of any tea whatever.
0. In order to effect the registrwion, both before and alter
the period when articles ran be rt ceiv.d in the building,
three exactly similar copies or drawings of the designs, or
actual specimens of manufacture, as in woven fabrics, must be
prepared according to certain rules.
10. Copies of these rules may be obtained at the Designs-

he or they may be nailing, together with their place of
abode, or place of carrying on business, distinctly written or
printed. These copies may consist of portions of the menu-
tectured articles (except carpets' oil-cloths, and woollen
shawls), when such can conveniently be done (as in the case
of paperhaneinue, saliva prints, &I.), which as w‘ II as the
drawings or tracings (not in pencil) or prints of the design,
furnished when the article is of such a nature as not to
admit of being pasted in a book, must, whether coloured or
not, be fac-similes of each other. Should paperbangings or
furnitures exceed 42 inches in length, by 23 inches in breadth,
drawings will be required, but they must nut exceed these
dimensions. These copies must consist of the entire design,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESCRIBING GOODS.
A circular has just been issued by the Executive Coen-
mitt., on this subject, the details of which we subjoin.
Every exhibitor Is required to send before January 31 tw3
concise but complete descriptions of the article he proposes
to show, stating, in additien to his name and address, the
capacity in which he appears, whether as producer, im-
porter, manufacturer, designer, inventor, or proprietor.
Dseesiptions must be drawn up on the printed term pub-
lished by the committee, and it is especially requested, for
the sake of giving value and utility to the catalogue, that
exhibitors will add such particulars as the following, where
it may be practicable, viz.: of raw material•, the eemmer-
cial name in English, French, and German; the scientific
name, the place where obtained, its principal uses, modes of
use, and any proposed applications, and toe peculiar excel-
lence of the specimens exhibited. Where price is an element
for the consideration of the jury, the price at which the im-
porter or producer can supply tee article wholesale should
be atatcd for the information of the jury. In the case of
machinery and manufactures exhibited, most of the above
particular, will be desirable, the novelty of the implement
or product, and the existence or 'bunco of a patent, should
be added. In respect of articles to be exhibited in the sec-
tion of fine arts, models, sculpture, &c., the horse of the
artist or designer, when such person is not the exhibitor,
should be mentioned.

THE ORCHESTRA OF ALL NATlONS.—Aocording to
the Exhibit ion Express, musical instruments will occupy about
3,400 feet at the Exhibition. "No class of musical instru-
ments," says our ountamporary, " will, we believe, be unre-
presented ;" so that from the Brobdignegian organ to the
Lilliputian penny whistle, we shall have a collection of ell the
armoury of Orpheus. The Jew will contribute bit harp, the
Chinese his gong, the Ethiopian (serenader) his banjo and
his;bones, and Mr. Punch will, of course, send his drum and
Pandean pipes. Thus will be collected the materials of an
orchestra, comprising eve t 7 species of instrument in the
world, since not even the Scotch bagpipe will be excluded.
There is no sense at all in showing musical instruments, un-
less the sense of hearing is appealed to; herefore these must,
of course, be played, if any ides is to be given of their merPs.
In order that their respective powers may be exhibited at
once, it will be necessary that each should play a different
tune at the same time; which will produce a concert very
appropriate to a world's fair ; but which, we are afraid, it
will not be possible exactly to describe IN the harmony of all
nations. Punch.

lodgings, os that the same party would arrange both fur
the travelling and the lodging of those who visited the
KalotAtion, and the visitors would have little or no trouble
when they got to Loadoo. ("Hear, her." and
*pp .use ) He *lipoid next call the attention of
the meeting to another letter fern the executive com-
mittee to Loudest, ',rib, after calling attention to
anargemesta for special trains (which be bed just red)
slates, ' that the realities proposed to be afforded for
dahlia' the working classes to visit the exhibition are wa-
rted eursively to tit se associated in clubs.' Let then all
bear this is mind, none could avail themselves of these fool
lines but those associated in claim for this purpose. It was
le constoreuee of this letter that tha Leeds committee deter-
mined to bring this matter before the working people; and
the meeting would therefore rive the committee credit for
berg gristly cemeerned to afford them the greatest facilities
for truer the exhibition. lie would next touch on the
sass cements wide by the royal commissioners for **curio'
good lodging. for the terror; climes while in London.
This matter tint originated with the Leeds committee, who
represented to the impel rommidonen the necessity of
making some arrangements in London for the comfort and
accommodation of the working clines. The subsides
of the arrangements made he would state to them.
The royal commissioners moult open a register cite
in London, where persons hay.og accommodation might
register the kind of rooms they bad to offer, del
that they must submit to inspection if they would be
retained in the list, and if the persons appointed to lesion
build say lodgings were kept in that state which the royal
oesamiationen could not sanction, they would be struck eat
of the mister. But this would be more folly explained by
Mr. Cook, who, as he had said, would have an office is
Loads*. All present had business diernment enough to
see--topecially as their chairman had said that all the (study
of Ragland war. going to L Judea during the present ye sr—
that it was very aresuity that the arranrinsents for their
reoremodation sad contort should be aide as crept's as
possible; sad that, if they lelt it to individar clubs to make
snaagements with railway inspires from time to time
and to open communications with parties to Lando;
as to loolgiage, the whole thing would be subject
to such an amount of confusion, dinurbence, sad inso-
cority, as would render their visit saything but agreeable
He was net much a friend to cauterisation in general,
but in a matter of this kind he thought it wise and proper,
sad would be attended with the best results. The more
simple the arrangemests were the better ; and the Leeds
executive committee had come to the dezielon that the only
way is which mat Ms could be properly managed would be
by having an agency office in Leeds. A ansmittto of five
would, therein', be appointed by the *repave cam= tee,

adthat gentleman w:sluid it to be anderitood by the
clams that the rates of earthy agreed upon at

the coma n. Mr. Renigrave added that there was so
impression abroad that the royal COMM is•ioners bad proposed
esrtain tans sad the likanileerS had adopted then; but the
fast was, the railway managers met, and mutually agreed
area the rates to be charged, and then the commienoners, as
• matter of mune, gave their assent to them. These rates
bad bees mutually arranged by the clausal's, and would
set be departed frogs in the trains despatched altar the let of
Jell, when the admission to the Exhibition would be re.
daced to It (Hem, hear.) Part of his (Mr. Cocks') duty
was to encourage the formation of artisans' clubs. The
Utilised Company were actuated by a desire that parties
should, as soca as possible, enrol themselves in visiting elubt,
is order that some idea might be formed of the railway ac
semmodation likely to be re golfed. It was 'opposed by well
letsemed parties that 100,000 peewee would visit the Ezhibi-
tins from this district; so Waif they began in the first week
of holy there would be four or five trains with 1,000 persons
is auk, rennin each way every week up to the end of
October. (Hear, bear.) Only the other day he read in a
Leeds newspaper of the detention for three hours of • single
excursion train, because proper arrangements had not been
made prior to its despatch. If that could happen in ordinary
times, and with a small train going a short distance, what
must be the eoneerksiecoe if timely arrangements were not
made tar so eseasica such as was now rapidly approaching ?
(Hear, hear.) Theo trains would not only be required for
eseiroyiag person. to London; bat hundreds and thousands
of the foreignem who visited the exhibition would require
railway mccmintodation to carry them over England to
Inspect ear weeders in manufacturing industry, and the
beaatim of nature. (Applause.) His intention was to get
parties Sato London as early as passible in the day, in order
that the game train might bring away them whom time had
expired; and is this way as fast as apartments were vacated
by one set of visitors they would be occupied by others, and
every cleats( would find his lodgings ready for him. (Cheers.)
Mr. Redgrave had informed hint that as yet very few lode-
iags tor Winns had been riginered ; but there was one
admirable establishment registered—that of Mr. Harrison,
who wee Attie; up as • mechanics' house, a budding erected
sometime ago in Itanelagh-road. Thera would be in it two
sleeping rooms, containing an area of 25.000 feet, and two
other dormitories of halt the sir:. Them four rooms were
calculated to provide accommodation for 1,000 persons per
night. Every lodger would have hie separate bedroom, and
it would be squatted from all the others by • partition seven
feet high. The upper part of the apartments would be open
for the purposes of ventilation. In each room would be •
good bed, sad every man would have the key of his own dor-
mitory. (Hear.) Each room would be five feet wide and
six and • half feet long, ouch • bedstead extending down
on. ado of it, upon which would ba • hair or wool mat-
Mesa, with ample blankets, sheets, &c. Then the dining-
room would have an area of 2,500 feet, and the reading
sad smoking rooms would be of the sum else. (Hear, hear.)
On the top of the building was • lectern 1,500 feet square,
from which visitors could obtain an excelleat view of Old
Father Tomes," and the commanding country. As to the
victualling department, hot rolls would be baked upon the
premise*, and the mode of charging for food would be such
that every man would only pay for just what he ate. Mr.
Hannoa's opinion was that a very di cent breakfast would
be bad for 4d. or GI , and a good dinner for Bd.; and there
would be so lack of provisions there, (or the contracts were
already entered into. (Hier, hear.) The price of lodgings
would be la. per right, including attendance. Boots would
be cleaned for • peony per pair ; the barber would attend to
their heeds sad chins squally cheap; and there would be •
room for luggage, the chugs fee storage in which would
be one halfpenny. (Heart bear.) An omnibus would rue

all than arrangements would be carried out under the ses.
the Executive Committee, so that there could
rinitallia of
lleaht of everything being done well and efficiently.
The MEM liberty would be given to the lodger', but are
Medd lea taken that no one should be suffered to create an
1111111111/111610 • and there would be pinions there reedy to take
use of throe who through drink or otherwise should forget
foe a time how to take care of themselves. (Hear hear.)
Other establishments wool :no doubt be opened, lout Mr.
Harrison's was the only large mechanic's house at present
registered. He (Mr. Cook) in addition to the railway trees
he bad an.lertaken, would open an office in London as a
place of reference, where information about lodgings, and
wouldother matters, be imparted to all legalism In
addition to this, he intended to NOS up trine to various
parts—the Isle of Wight, Paria, up the Raise, dn.—
thus enabling those who had the means and the inclination
to extend their travels cheaply and conveniently. (Applause.)
He elm intended issuing a email publication monthly up is
May, and then weekly, for the purpose of affording informe-
d= upon the Eshibiiion at a very low price. He regretted
the backwardness on the part of the people to enrol them
selves in clubs, thelteriag themselves under the plea that
when the time came they would be able to find the money.
Now, he frankly told them that if this was persevered in,
and everything was left till the last, it would be utterly im-
possible to carry out the intentions of the commiseloners ;
and the railway companies would be wholly unable to convey
the parties who at the last would expose • desire to visit
I London. (Hear, hear.) The greet object of the companies
was to know beforehand the probable number of visitors in
clubs, and be suggested to the dabs in this neighbourhood
that they should adopt a rule in existence in some places,
enabling persons to enrol themselves members for the pur.
pose of registration, without calling upon them to pay their
money weekly, leaving it, is fact, to their option either
to pay weekly, or monthly, or quarterly, or in one sum.
(Haar, hear.) Besides artisans' clubs, there would be other
associatioas—ouch as the teetotalers and odd-fellows—who
would probably go up in large bodies. The temperance
seeletles was intending to go in • body, to have 100,000
teetotallers there at once, and hold • meeting over which
Prime Albert would be asked to preside. (Hear.) Parties
by diem trips would be allowed to remain is London six
days; bat be bad a distinct understanding with the coos
peay that_persoas might return in four days U they desired.
(Hem) He hoped, before the elms of the exhibition, to see
serangensmits made for • poorer cloak who meld not afford
to spend three or four or five pounds—a class that would not
object t t sleep in the carriages by night, SO that they could
reach London and me the exhibition by day. (Hear.)
This class la thought might pay • visit is this way for
shoat • sovereign. (Applause.)
Sward questions were asked by peyote la the meeting,
and maimed by the chairman, Mr. Flint, and Mr. Cook.
The plasipal points elicited in this way IMO that Mr.
Moms (of Liverpool) has the management of the London
Mg North Western trains; that though them are railway
testis from this district to Lomita, yin , the Midland, the
Oran Northern, and the London sad North Western, it is
laleadadtbat theca shall be no sompetition between them,
Ow dale of Huddersfield, Halifax, not being allowed to
nem to Leeds for the purpose of patronising the Midland or
Omit Northers, sad the Leeds clubs being debarred from
travelling to London aid Haddonfield, Mancheetar, &c.
