apparatus, trusses were very important, bet ea sae
had applied to exhibit them. In concludes he wail
draw attention to the want of mannfacteres in sine.
There were many other deficiencies in the table, but
those he had mentioned were the most prominent.
Though some of these might turn up under general
heads, he thought the attention of the local commis-
sioners should be drawn to them.
Mr. ALLANBT said that with regard to some of
the articles mentiooed by Dr. Playfair, they were not
much used at the present. Thus the use of bombs-
clue a, China crapes, sad gingham, were much on the
decline, and would perhaps account for the want of
applications to exhibit. One of the commissioners
observed that many of the articles mentioned in the
table would be limed under other beads ; for instance,
heel work would be exhibited in furniture.
Mr. COLE replied that the table had been drawn
up en ameordance with the London trades ditemory,
and as buhl-workers were found them they had got
Into the list, and no applications for exhibiting that
work hod been especially made.
Mr. BANURL MORLEY stated that be had been ape
Fiat= a local commissioner in the deportment of
Wiry. There were not many houses in this trade
altogether. What he and the other manufacturers
were desirous of knowing wee this, was the exhibi-
tion to be a selection of all the beet things from the
whole trade, or was each manufacturer to send what
he considered best P
The CHAIRMAN stated that the commission were
very much inclined to leave the decision of this Ten-
t= to the local committees, reserving to itself the
power of exhibiting wything. they thought worthy,
even if rejected by local committees.
Colonel REID suggested that moth might be done
by various branches of trade combining together. This
had been done by the Lad= drag&s, who had
agreed together to exhibit the variesolthods of drags.
Perhaps the hoiden coold do the same.
A deemed= here wooed as to the working of the
local committees. Some of the essmisiimiere thought
that in small places one manufsetwor would object to
submitting his produce to another for amens). The
members of the executive committee did sot apper
bend any difficulty on this wore.
Mr. (MAHAN wished to know, if an exhibitor sent
a purchased article, as to whether he would be 's-
quired to give the name of the manufacturer P
Mr. SANDHI! waisted that, in oases wham. per-
soos exhibited the produce of others' skill and ago-
natty, that the names of both should be gives.
The CHAIRMAN stated that there would not be
probably many oases in which merely the seller of
articles would exhibit. Where, however, this was
the ease, and the manufacturer did not iend to the
commission, or wish his name to appear, there weld
be no objection to the mine of the proprietor of the
article appealing. He thought no births, laws weld
be laid down on this bead than the pearl directing
which had already been Mined by the menunimiso.
He then called upon Dr. Boyle to read a report en
the "audition of the exposition with regard to raw
materials.
Dr. ROTLZ stated that his &Undies had boa am-
fined to raw animal and vegetable robots The
aamanufeetured mineral whereon would be reported
on by Mr. Heat, of the MUM= of Eamaimie Geo-
logy. The articles he his own department were toe

the premise of a very complete abed= of timbers
and dewy woods. The mime forme of fibrous
salestaseee in all states previous to 'manufacture
would be exhibited, including onto= of various
klub. The various medicinal sobetanom would be
provided by a committee of London wholesale drug-
gists. This would not peeve= Individuals exhibiting
pusher or interesting medicines. Farming sub-
erases of all kinds would be exhibited, aid the pre-
paration of animal substances in various stages of the

their preparation, se well se their effects ea erten
thread, would be exhibited. The fixed and mist&
oils had been undertaken by Mr. Miller, and the wry

part et the exhibition Gould not tail to be of
the highest isterest, set he believed, in the re-
tro' sent in from various parts of the werld that a
great arab= of materials sew to ow meaufeetares
would be exhibited and which might, peed*, lead
to the greatest practiced mats.
Mr. Hates stated that he had ben minded to
procure specking of the mussel_ redeedeas used ia
the arts and unanfestares wibitier There was
no difficulty in preewleg throe specimens, bat he
wished, if panne* to EOSIN the addbitko el them

Britain, and he hoped to proem the

the exhibition worthy of the mineral weehh of the
toiletry in which it took place.
