EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF INDUSTRY OF
ALA NArione.—MtitrlNO AT OLAIIOOW.—A meeting of the
principal merchants, manufacture's, and other leading men
connected with the city of Glasgow and vicinity, convened
by invitation from the Lord Provost, was held on Tuesday in
the Cot-ncil Chamber to confer on steps for the promotion,
in this quarter, of the projected exhibitiod of the industrial
products of all nations. The Lord Provost, presided,
and in opening the meeting, briefly recapitulated what
had already leen done in the matter, and com-
municated such additional information as he had
received, relative to the designs of the royal com-
mission, and the duties which would devolve upon those
committees, the appointment of whieb, in all the chief em-
poriums of commerce, is desired. Communications on the
subject had been received from Aberdeen and Sheffield, but
that so ulterior steps, beyond the bare appointment of com-
mittees. seem to have been resolved apes es these p/aoes.
Prior to the nomination of such a body here, it was thought
desirable to acquire further and definite information respect-
ing the scope end nature of the services that would be
expected from it. With this aim, certain inquiries were made
some time since. It appears that they have elicited no res-
ponse. Beyond the knowledge derivable from the general
communications addressed to the lord provost, the 31111;etr,
c
therefore, remained in ignorance as to the s •
course of procedure which it may be wished the local
committees should pursue. On the suggestion of his
lordship, it was, however, agreed to name such a body, and
a list proposed by him was unanimously approved of. The
meeting then considered the propriety of appointing local
commissioners in terms of the recommendation sent down.
Several gentlemen spoke upon this topic, all concurring in
the opinion that it would be inexpedient to take such a step
at present. It was resolved, however, as the committee pre-
vioualy nominated would be rather unwieldy for the reia.
baton of the mintage details of the business that might arise,
to select from it the names of several gentlemen who should
form a sub-committee for the management of these matters.
This wee accordingly done, and a number of gentlemen who
distinguished themselves by their assiduity and tact on the
occasion of the exhibition in the City-hall, soiree years since,
were chosen for that purpose.
