--
A p3blic meeting, convened by hie worship the
Mayor of Bath, win held at the Guildhall in that city, on
Wednesday, to consider and resolve upon the step to be
taken in fortherance of the Great Exhibitioa of the Works
of Industry, to be held is London in 1851.
The Mayor presided, and, having referred t 1 the great im.
pulsate of WI exhibition, called upon Major Byng Hall.
who attended as a deputation tram the royal eozembeion, to
address the meeting.
The Italian gentleman fully explained the objects of the
exhibition, and urged its del= to general rapport.
W. Surrcitrrs, Eq. (ex-mayor), thou wired—. That
his Neyal Prince Albert's proposition to hold an
Exhibition of the Works of Indattry of:all Nations in 18M
is entitled to the rapport of this 'meeting, se tending to pro-
smite the arts, egrlsialWire, rameacteres, sad trade."
The resolution was carried unanimously.
0. Wautiox, Eaq., moved—" That the exhibition will be
of great advantage to all elutes, whether of producer., dis-
tributor', or easaaraers, sad is especially maculated to ad.
vases toe iatareals of the workiag Muses, by affording ex-
amples of essellence and inciting to emulation."
This also was carried unanimously, as was the following :
—" That all nations being invited to welt in the exhibition
will land to the promotion of peace throughout the civilised
world."

An influential local cm:Natter, to obtain subscriptions aid
&mist the royal cowri•sion is ourying out their exhibition
to the most successful result, was appointed ; and the bud.
crew terminated by the chairs's& reading a list of subscrip•
tioas that had been handed is during the proctecings.

On the 15th iast. the Westminster committee ad-
&eased her leis;p:.•.!;'s eornainioners, regretting that the
amount of subscriptions thew had hitherto been able to
announce had not tgzalled-their expectations, and stating
that they bad sought to ascertain the general opinien a to
the care. They found an ides prevalent that the exhibi-
tion of 1851 is likely to amuse the &ander of a commer-
cial speculation, that exhibitors will have fatalities afforded
them of carrying on a system of sale, thereby perverting the
grand and acknowledged object of the exhibition, namely,
an exposition of the products of art, labour, and scienee, and
an honourable competition areeag all nations for the distinc-
tions or prizes to be awarded. The commeniattios of the
committee than went on as ((Mows :

'. This ids has received confirmation from ea e
in the instructions publehed by her Majesty's Commloten
as to the constructicn of the proposed building, the eighth
oMlZaph of •vhich directs provision to be made for counting-
if required. The committee beg to assure her Ma.
Jelly's Commissioners that great apprehension exists not only
among people engaged in trade and manufacture, bet also
among the higher dame, that If sales are to be
permitted very serious tai will result therefrom,
' and the committee reapeetfally submit their opinion
Abet one of the regulations of the exhibition should
be that no trading whatever is to be permitted
and they thick it most desirable that ea expression of the
decision of her Majesty's esenaniudoness es this subject
should he made public r early as powlble it is required to
str and onerrage favourable feelings, and to remove
