PROCEEDINGS AT MANCHESTER.

iIANCUESTER, JAN. 3.—A Meeting of the local e

goatee for carrying out the arrangements for the forthcoming
Industrial Exhibitiv n was held in the Manchester Town-
hall yesterday. The object for which the uteetiog We+
convened, as stated in the notice, was " to cozsider a re-
commendation of the sub-committees to Bend a deputation to
London." The meeting was very influentially attended. In
the absence of the mayor, Mr. Alderman Neild occupied the
chair. The minutes of proceedings of the various sub-
cern:cadets having been confirmed,
Mr. MALCOLM R 063 said, with a view of raising the
question • Lich the meeting had assembled to discuss, he
might state that he had requested the secretary that morning
to write out a list, witch he would read, of those things
that would he expected to be investigated by any deputation
that the genera' committee might appoint. The committee
would then be in a pc3itiou to discus, whether it WAS de-
'inside to adopt the recommendation of the sub committees,
The object ought by the sub-committees in recommending •
deputation were the following : What plan to be adapted as to
the arrangement of articles in the building ? Will the commis-
sioners lay out reticles, or will each exhibitor be allowed to
twangs his own goods? Suggest that one or two suitable
perms, he employed to arrange the Manchester goods, at
cost of local committee or exhibition commissioners. Will
each exhibitor be allowed or obliged to fit up his owii ere" ?
Whet will be the arrangement of the counters ? Row bleb
will the wall space be above the counters? What r-e the
upright caws described in the decisions as being allotted with
wall space? Will each exhibitor have a stall entirely to
himself ? Is it imperahve that articles be ling:rated by hoer!
committee? Ought it not to be left to the discretion of ex-
hibitors to send tinkles which will do credit to [hemming as
well as to the exhibition ? Recommend that the time for
articles to be sent up to London be extended to the let of
April. When wall space alone is demanded, will there be a
counter in front of it, for the exhibition of ether articles.
Will counters of seven feet wide be arranged in any case,
with central division? What is meant by general passage?
Will page room be granted round articles exhibited for ex-
ruination, or will the net size only be allowed ? Particulate
of accommodation for working classes ? Outside space ?
the cemm,ttee tutu the whole or apart of the machinery ?Will
they have en underground shaft, or how ? Wit macti.nery be
distinct, soda deer space be allotted to that from Manchester ?
On these points l gentlemen who were on the nub-
committees thought it desirable that some authentic infor-
mation should be obtained rim voce, rather than through
mere communications by letter, which were almost certain
to be unsatisfactory. The committee had already had occa-
sion to write two letters to London for information on points
as to which they were in doubt, but the letters which had
been received in reply, although doubtless very clear to the
mind of the rerun who wrote them, were so far Mom eats-
' factory to the committee, that the answers themselves re-
quired explanation. No doubt the carmine, in ',orlon
were anxious to give foil explanation, but there was a &fa-
culty in rendering their explanations satisfactory; and it
woo upon these grounds that the subcommittees had come to
the conclusion to recommend the appointment of a deputa-
tion to proceed to the metropolis, to obtain viva twee replies
(tom the parties alone able to give correct information on the
points be had just mentiened.
Mr. E. T. BELLHOUSE, chairman of the machinery
committee, thought the present wee hardly a proper time t
send a deputation to London ; he thought it too early, and
their labour would perhaps be thrown away. If they de-
ferred it for three weeks or a month, perhaps the royal
commissioners might be better prepared to afford them in-
formation then they were at present, es they e,r'd cot yet
have received all the returns of the space requirel. From
whit fell under his own observation when he wrs in Lon-
don, • sh;rt time ago, he was inclined to think that the
royal comatietioners were themselves very much at a
regard to everything connected with the machine) r pert of
