LONDON, 84TURDAY, NOV. 27.

THE Conceit of the Society of Arts hays come to
the conclusion that it will promote the interests of
Industry, art, and commerce, to hold an International
Exhibition every ten years, similar to that which
was so soccoestal in 1861. Their present view is
that the next great Exhibition shall be held in 1861.
With regard to the management to which the pro-
vided Exhibition should be entrusted, and the means
of raising the necessary funds, nothing definite has
yet been decided. The first step taken by the
Council will be to ascertain how far the Commis-
Mowry of the Exhibition of 1861 are willing or
able to carry on such an undertaking, or, if
not, how far they will 'mist or support it. There
appears little reason for doubt on this head. Already
it is rumoured that the Commissioners are ready to
head the guarantee feed of the contemplated
Exhibition to the extent of 50,0001. The Council
having communicated their views to the Com-
inalliDMeni, will proceed to inquire bow far those
views are supported by the public at large, and
more especially by those portions of the public who
an practically interested in art, manufactures, and

temmerce. The whole plan is at present merely in
an inchoate state, and the task of maturing and de-
yelopiag it will for some time to come occupy to the
fullest extent the administrative energies of the
Council. Upon two points alone—both, bowerer, of
great importasse—liese a definitive resolution appear
is have been arrived at. The Council have oome to
tbe esmainsion: Lt. That two new features ought
Se be introduced into the next Exhibition, viz.
mule and painting; 2nd. That every article exhi-
bited should mark progress, and be exhibited in
.Imes, and not in nations, as in 1831. These are
both valu►ble suggestions. No reason can be urged
why the charms of music and painting should not be
added to the attractions which made the Crystal
Palace of 1861 a place of enchantment as well as of
instraetion I while, with regard to the scheme of
reaping objects according to clues. and not accord-
ing to localities, its advantages are too obvious to
require illustration or enforcement. The geogra-
phical arrangement adopted in 1861, was one of the
few drawbacks to a very great success. Everybody
who went there to learn, and many of those who only
went to lounge, found it a bore to be dragged from
on. end of the Exhibition to the other in order to
compare the silks of Lyme with the silks of Bpital-
fields, the carpets of Persia with those of Axinioster,
or the porcelain of Pekin with that of Worcester, or
Dresden, or Sevres.

It is of good augury for the successful carrying out
of this project that the Chairman of the Society's
Council for the ensuing year is Mr. C. WE.Nr-
Wolin DILoa, a gentleman who, as one of the
Commissiouers of the Exhibition of 1831, evinced
so remarkable a combination of originative energy
and administrative skill. If a great Exhi-
bition for 1861 is to come off at all,
each a man will best ensure its coming off
Iwith credit and success. It mast not be for-
gotten, however, that there are in this world a
vast class of Clii boss people—a sort of " let-well-
" alone" philosopher—who will be sure to ask why
the experiment of 18.51 should be repeated, and be
very zealous to prove that if it be repeated, it must
be a failure. It may be as well to help these de-
sponding and prophetic gentlemen to a few con-
siderations which may enable them to look forward
with more equanimity to the prospect of another
Exhibition year in 1861. The French, who were
the first to start Exhibitions of this kind, have
held twelve of them in the course of the last
sixty years—aa average of one every five years. The
steady progress in the number of French exhibitors
from 110 in 1798, to 1,662 in 1819, and 4,494 in 1849,
sufficiently proves how completely these Exhibitions
responded to the want, and wishes of the mercantile
sad meaufacturing population of Francs. In 1866
the international principle was first brought into
play, and the sudden income iu the number ofl
French exhibitors alone from 4,494 to 9,790, while
it gave signal demonstration of the value of such
friendly rivalry in quickening and stimulating the
artistic, manufacturing, and commercial energies of
• people, afforded ILO equally striking earnest of the
probable stuxima in • pecuniary point of view, of any
future enterprise of the kind in which the inter-
motional principle should be fairly and freely called
into action. Those " Anglicans of the old rock,"
who sturdily object to argue from anything French
to anything English, will probably deem it more
to the purpose to be referred to the progress of those
purely British institutions—the Exhibitions of the
Soya! Agricultural Society. From 1839 to 1838
tide Society has held twenty consecutive annual
111Platage, with the same result of steady warms.
,sonata paid for admission, the number of
Mack exialtitoss, the number of implement exhi-
bitors, and the number of heed of cattle exhibited,
ham all increased, and so has the amount of
matributions paid by the towns where the meet-
ings have bee• held. The number of Timken
has obeyed the same law. The average at.
tendance of the country meetings, down to that at
Chelmsford, two years ago, was 36,000, bat the
I gathering this year at Cheater fell very little short
of 64,000. Eves the meat ultra-British objector
will admit that dims meetings, besides being auc-
torial aa esinitisas, have also been of sigma eer-

vice to the prove and development of Eagliah
agrienittuv.

' Such are scene of the general grounds for sup-
posing that a repetition, once in us years, of an
International Exhibition of Art, Industry, and
Commerce would not only be likely, if properly
managed, to prove a paying speculation, but would
besides exert an eminently beneficial influence on
those branches of human pursuit for the de-
velopment of which it is more especially
designed. There are other reasons strongly
tending to show that 1881 would not, as far
as this country is concerned, be at all too early for
another International Exhibition. "Great changes,"
said Mr. Dux; in his address to the Council,
" have taken place in the position of many classes
"of manufacture since 1861. Manufacturing firms,
" scarcely known at that date, have increased and
" improved their productions in a remarkable
" manner, and not a few attribute much of their
"soccer to the healthy action of the Great Exhibi-
" tion of 1851, and the publicity given to con-
" paratively unknown, but in many instances
" highly meritorious manufacturing establishments.
" New phase of mechanical invention and of the
" application of scientific and artistic knowledge to
" industrial purposes have been developed. The
" Catalogue and Jury Reports of the Exhibition of
" 1861 have proved, as was anticipated, most
" valuable European directories, constantly referred
"to by buyers from all parts of the world. The
" catalogue of another Exhibition would present all
" the features of a timely revisal of a work which
" has proved of more than ordinary use to mercantile
" men." These considerations, based on a wide
knowledge of the practical wants and positive re-
quirements of those engaged in manufactures and
commerce, are entitled to great weight. It is not
from sentimental or [esthetic views alone, but prin-
cipally on grounds the most thoroughly utilitarian,
that we are disposed heartily to favour the notion
of another International Exhibition of Art, In-
dustry, and Commerce in 1881.

This preferment has been conferred upon the Reverend

presented to the latter by the Society of Trinity Hall, In 1848.
Mr. Goodwin wra seoond wrangler and second Smith's prism-
man in 1840, and ia the author of several valuable mathe-
matical text-books. The Cambridge independent says :
" The position which he. gained for Mr. Goodwin this
high honour is owing solely to his own talents, seal, and
Catholic liberality. The rev, gentleman is well known as
a popular preacher in Cambridge, where he has led a very
motive and useful Ws, and is highly esteemed both in town
and liaiversity. In politics and in religion Mr. Goodwin
is what may safely be termed • moderate man; in the
church he is neither high nor low, but what may probably
be designated broad church. We believe the appointment
ham will be generally approved by moderate men of all
claasea."

tir"by an overdoes of ipeoscuanks on Friday, the but
,•11 which wan alleged to have been given to her b,
mistake as an out-patient of Bt. George's Hospital, A
port of the proceedings on the former inquiry wee given be
the Isprem.
Mr. Faxon was maenad. and stated, in answer to the
coroner, that SIMI the last hearing be had re-weighed sad
analysed the two powders found in the room after the de.
oesascre death. Owe of them weighed 16 grains, and the
other 32 grains, the first being only a pardon of a packet.
They are what is commonly called " Dover's Powder.'
After the termination of the proceedings on the former axe.
don, he called at the howled, and obtained the deceased's
prescription from which her medicine was made up. Strange
to say, the prescription for that period was compound Jahn
powders, but there was no jalap in those eke had taken.
There was a great deal of opium in the powders, and there
wee not the tightest doubt but that the death wee caused be
narootiam ; one of them coetained no fewer than three ore.
nary doses.
It was ben explained to the jury, by personal essrainatioe
of the two kinds of powders, compound jail) and compound
ipecacuanha, that the Merence could only be detected by
taste, and not by look or smell.
Mr. Hammertoe, the resident apothecary of Bt. George.
Hospital, who was in attendance in consequence of the ph.

said he had brought some of the paper in his pocket which
wee commonly used is making up these powders.
[On comparlag it with that which contained the
powders found in poreenion of the dammed, it
was found to agree In quality and appearance, even
to the water-mark.] He could not imsgine how each I
mistake could possibly occur in his department of the Med.
tation. He believed the assistanta to be steady respectabb

was the aame, although the powders, assuming them to have
been the proper ones, were just double in quantity to whet

clearly tracing the fact.
The jury manned in conversation for some time, of
eventually returned a verdict to the effect, " That the de.

some institution or shop, bat there was not sufficient
evidence to identify the person or persona who supplied hen"
The Coroner aced—lt Mr. Hatumerton was aware of esty
