ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS.

On Thursday the St. Lawrence arrived at South-
ampton from America, laden with American contributions,
amounting in packages to between one and two thousand,
and in weight to 1,000 tons. Thew• contributions are the
property of 500 American exhibitors, and of considerable
value. Owing to the largeness of the freight all the arma-
ment of the St. Lawrence, save only the guns on the spar
deck, had to be taken out. The American papers, taking
advantage of the departure of the St. Lawrence, have pub-
lished the following account of American proceeding,
relative to the Exhibition : _ _ _

" On May 17,1&511, a letter was addressed by the Secretary
of State, Hon. J. M. Clayton, to the Prceident of the
National Institute, transmitting the correspondence which
had taken place between the Minister Plenipotentiary of
her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and the State
Department relative to the proposed Exhibition. This
letter was immediately laid before the institute, and by it
referred to the following select conimittee:—Feter Force,
Joseph Henry, Walter it. Johnson, J. J. Greenough, and
Charles Wilkes.
" The committee reported in favour of taking immediate
action by nominating a central authority ' for the United
State*. The report was adopted on the 27th of May, and
the following gentlemen were nominated to the State
Department:—Millard Fillmore, chairman; Peter Force,
James A. Pearce, Levi Woodbury, Lewis Warrington,
Joseph Henry, Alexander D. Roche, Charles Wilkes, Jef-
ferson Davis, Matthew F. Maury, J. James Greenough,

Thomas Ewbenk, William FAsby, Leonard D. Gale, Joseph
C. G. Kennedy, Ezn C. Seaman, William W. Seaton ;
Walter It. Johnson. secretary.
"The authority thus nominated was approved by Mr.
Clayton, the then secretary of state, and the central
authority at once entered upon the discharge of their duties.
They addressed a letter to the governors of the several
states, of which the following is a copy:

MITTEE TU THE 00YERNOILS us' THE OEYERAL STATES.
' Rooms of the National Institute,

" To his Excellency the Governor of --.
" Sir,—We have the honour to submit to you the accom-
panying papers, from which it will be nom that the under-
signed have been appointed a central authority, through
which alone, according to the regulations adopted by the
Royal Commissioners, the productions of American art and
industry can be recognised as entitled to admission at the
Industrial Exhibition to be held at London in May, 1/4.51.
" ' Our object in addressing you is to request that you
will confer with the societies and individuals in the state of

phlet, containing an account of their appointment and
duties, and of their action up to its date, as well as the re-
gulations of the English Commissioners, arrangement of
the Exhibition, and a classified list of objects to be admitted
to the Exhibition. The committee also published a number

Exhibition, and a second pamphlet, containing the cor-
