DONCASTER RACES.

MoNnAr NianT.—The arrivals since our last report
have been numerous, and there is every prospect of its
being a good meeting; we do not think, however, that it
will answer the expectations of the Doncaster people, or
that it will in any particular, except sport, equal last
year's. The St. Leger continues to he the engrossing
topic—everything gives way to it, and very few, even of
the north country knowing ones, seem to think that
Priam's success is doubtful. Certainly, if public running,
ftrst•rate condition, good training, and excellent riding,
can be supposed to have any influence on the race, he will
not be far off; still, such is the proverbial uncertainty of
the Turf, that no prudent man will think of standing to
be shot at, as the phrase goes. Those who have backed
him have a very goo I opportunity of hedging, and we
would strongly advise those who have betted against him
to take the odds, for of his running we have not yet heard
two opinions.

The Islrunswicker party is very strong, the horse having
been backed to a large amount; the Scotts are very san-
guine; they also talk of Ruwton as more than likely to
win, especially as the King's mare, Fleur de Lis; is said
not to be quite up to the mat k.
Birmingham and The Cardinal are in demand, espe-
cially the latter. Hassan is somewhat out of favour ;
Lady Mowbray and Maria having also declined. Revolu-
tion, after having, like the one in France, created quite a
sensation, has subsided, and, at 50 to 1, is rarely men-
tioned. Agreeable to our promise yesterday, we subjoin
a list of the horses likely to start, of which, it is now said,
there will be two or three and twenty
Mr. Clancy's Priam (Clancy)
Lord Queensberry's Hassan (Arnull)
Mr. Shepherd's The Cardinal (Nicholson)
Mr. Clifton's Moss Rose (Darling)
Mr. Petre's Brunswicker (Scott)
Mr. Beardsworth's Birmingham (Conolly)
Lord Queensberry's Maria (J. Day)
Duke of Leeds's Lady Mowbray (G. Edwards)
Redstart (IL Edwards)
Captain Grant's The Balkan (F. Buckle)
Lord Scarborough's Chancellor (Nelson)
Sir J. Beresford's Lisette colt (..r. Gray)
Mr. Arnull's Dolly (W. Lear)
Mr. Powlett's Lady Emmeline
Mr. Riddell's Emancipator (Johnson)
Mr. Petre's Pedestrian (Garbutt)
Mr. Metcalfe's Mimic (Lye)
Lord Kelburne's Emilia colt
Mr. T. Shepherd's Revolution T. Shepherd)
Sir T. StanleVs Lawrie Todd (fempleman)
Mr. Richardson's St. Nicholas (Dockeray)

Mr. HouldswortCs"fleagle
Colonel Cradoek's The Barber
Mr. Walker's Splendour.
The last five are doubtful as to starting.

After the races, the betting averagell as follows :—•
5 to 4 agst Mr. Chifney's Priam
8 to 1 agst Lord Queensberry's Hassan
9 to 1 agst Mr. It. Shepherd's The Cardinal
13 to 1 apt Mr. Petre's Brunswieker
13 to 1 agat Mr. Beardsworth's Birmingham
13 to 1 agat Mr. Clifton's Moss Rose
18 to 1 agst Lord Queensberry's Maria
20 to 1 agat Duke of Leeds's Lady Mowbray
The rest as before.

There is little doubt that the very bad running of Fylde
in the Fitzwilliam, and Co!wick in the Champaigne
Stakes, will have the effect of sending Moss Rode and Bir-
mingham back before the night is over.
The disturbances that arose last year from the ineffi-
ciency of the police, must be frtsh in the recollection of
our readers; influenced by this and the considerations
stated in our last, the Corporation resolved to prevent a
recurrence of the evil, and, truly, they have taken mea-
sures with a vengeance—they have organised a "New
Police." The first thing that caught our eyes was several
formidable boards, on which were pasted large printed
" Regulations of the Police," &c., from which we collected

that there were five divisions of special constables of ten
each, which divisions were severally under the domination
of a " Serjeant Constable," and the whole under the com-

;nand of Mr. Troia, whose duties being of a very general
description, he will, as a matter of course, he made a Stag:-
officer. The regulations make a very pretty bit of bom-
bast, and the whole concern a complete burlesque of the
Metropolitan Police. And these fifty privates, five ser-
jeants and one general officer are to do, or be prepared to
do, that which last year took two or three troops of
dragoons besides the constabulary force. It is fortunate
for this powerful corps, that the races are but thinly at-
tended, or, what with clearing the course, and watching
the thimble-tnen and pick-pockets, they wou'd have their
hands full.
The course was better attended than we had expected.
We observed the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, Duke
of Leeds, Marquis of Cleveland, Earl and Countess of
Wilton, Earl of Errol, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of Chester-
field, Earl of Scarborough ; Lords Cecil, Ilmelagli, Paw-
lett, Kilburne, J. Fitzroy, Talbot, Portarlington, Forester,
Newark, Newburgh ; Count I3roenenberg ; the Ladies Tal-
bot and Beauelerc ; Sirs J. Fraser, W. B. Cooke, M. Wood,
D. Baird, W. Milner, J. V. B. Johnstone, G. Gerard,
G. Pigot, T. Sykes, L. Glyn; Honourable' T. 0. Powlett,
E. Petre, E. L. Jerningliam, W. Duncombe, Butler,
Lascelles, J. Wentworth, W. Cochrane ; Colonels Peel,
Crawford, Lee, Russell, Cradock, Udney, Hancox, Shu.
brick, Althorp, Hawkins, Richardson, Standen, Anson;
Majors Booth, Wood, Fleming, Yarburgh, Ellis, &c. ;
Messrs. 'I. G. de Estrada, M. Pekin% M. Mazzinghi,
M. Costobadie, &r. &c. We shall give a more complete
list of the lashionables in our next.

With the exception of one short shower the weather was
favourable; the quality of the running may be gathered
from the following statement:_
Match-500 sovs. each, h. ft. One Mile.

ch. f. by Whisker, 3 yrs., also started, but were not placed.
Betting-6 to 4 agst. Fylde; 2to 1 agst. Lady Emily;
and 4 to 1 agst. the winner.
After a false start, occasioned by the viciousness of Lord
Fitzwillism's colt, they got off pretty well together ; this
colt, however, was determined to be in front, and it was
not till he bad nearly pulled his rider', arms off, that he
could be prevailed upon to fall back. Windcliffe then made
play ate good pace, Fylde becoming second to him when
half way up the hill. They remained in their Place's till
about a hundred yards from the Red House, when Lady
Emily came from the rear, and at half way between the
Red House and the rails was well up with Fylde, the others
at the same time coining up, and the whole for a moment
being in a compact body; Lady Emily, however, innine.
diately gave way, and was directly after followed by Gas.
coyne's filly ; nor did Lord Fitzwilliam's live far within
the rails. Windcliffe continued his lead, and, although
rather closely pressed by Fylde, when near the Stand, wen
cleverly by nearly a length—rode by Nelson ; Fylde, by
Darling.; Lord Fitzwilliam'e, by H. Edwards; Lady Emily,
by F. Buckle ; and Gascoyne's, by Minoan.

Mr. Ileardoworth's br, c. Colwick

Mr. Powlett's bl. c. by Jack Spigot, Lord Cleveland's
Chorister, and Mr. W. Fox's Gitana, also ran, but were
not placed.
Although it bad been well known for some days put
that Chorister was not up to the mark, he was backed in
the morning at 2 to 1 ; before starting, however, he fell
back to 5 to 1, Victoire having become tke favourite at
11 to 8 ; Colwick was at 4 to I, Clarence at 6 to 1,
Frederica at Bto 1, and the others at 10 to 1 each. At
the first start they came away in beautiful order, neither
having any decided lead ; at the distance all set to work
except Frederica and Victoire, the whipping being very
severe. The other two came right away from them at the
Stand, and ran a tolerably severe race home, Frederica
winning by two-thirds of a length ; she is a nice mare,
combining stoutness with speed, and will contribute to the
already high reputation of the celebrated Sultan. She
was well rode by Darling, Victoire by Scott, Clarence by
Nelson, Colwick by Templetnan, Powlett's by Nicholson ;
and Gitana by Johnson. Value of the Stakes 8751. Mt-
Ifouldsworth was delighted with the success of his filly,
and declares that the Club shall have some of Moct's beat,
in opposition to the advice of a facetious friend, to Bend
some of Charles Wright's celebrated.

The weather is exceedingly wet, the ground heavy, and
the place unusually dull for so impirtant a day. The
principal feature in the betting is the unexpected advance
of St. Nicholas, who was backed lust night with consider-
able spirit.

MIDSUMMER MEDLEY.—Though the au

tumnal quarter is fast approaching, Mr. Holt Act SMITH'S
delightful volumes continue their career of popularity.__
Story, song, humour, and that same vein of mimicry which
was so highly relished in the Author's " Rejected Ad-
dresses," arc here to be found in cordial union. The Mid-
summer Medley is a hook sacred to mirth and holidays.

The double of his late Majesty, GEORGE the
THIRD, an inhabitant of Margate, is so delighted with his
acknowledged resemblance to the venerable Mottaacir,
that in order to make the similitude complete, he has re-
cently mounted a wig, a hat, and a frock surtout, made
from the model of those worn by the KING in his latter dap..
PROPOSED EXTENSION OF TIIE PIER A'l
GRAvistse.—On Monday a meeting of the inhabitants
and visitors of Gravesend took place at the Town-hall, to
consider the propriety of extending the pier, so as to per-
mit the passengers by the steam-boats to Lind therefrom.
The Mayor, W3l. &taut, Esq. in the chair. A good
deal of discussion took place respecting the merits of the
proposed extension, some being of opinion that the water.
men would he material!), injured by the measure ; others
thinking that the convenience afforded by the extension
would fill the town with more company, mid thus be of
no disadvantage to the watermen. The meeting was,
after some time, dissolved, and an amendment made and
carried by a large majority, reconunending that step in
preference to the hasty adoption of any resolutions. No
fewer than 1,000 persons were present, and great interest
excited in consequence of the meeting.

THE DOVE IN SEARCH OF REST.-It is
a singular fact that a few days ago, a turtle-dove perched
on the window of one of the rooms in Mr. RUM'S house,
which used to he occupied by some of his deceased family.
It sat there a day and a night, though the men and boys
employed in the gardens frequently endeavoured to cause
it to take flight. At length Mr. 'lwo approached it, and
it suffered itself to be taken into the house, where it is
needless to say, it is now treated as a pet Gird...— York
Courant.

Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, an acci-
dent which at first threatened serious consequences, oc-
curred at Mr. NewuroTon's china warehouse, 860, High
Holborn. On one of the young teen attempting to light
the gas, it suddenly exploded with a loud report, filling
the shop with a body of flame, forcing cut several panes of
glass, andisieeking some of the china. Two fire engines
were speedily on the spot ; but owing to the presence of
mind of Mr. NEWINGTON, and the exertions of himself
and assistants, the flames were, prior to the engines' ar..
rival, fortunately extinguished without causing any further
damage. The accident originated in the escape and accumu-
lation of gas from an unobserved fissure iu the pipe.
In the year 1663, an old dame, named
ityLiAN Coxx, was convicted of witchcraft, chiefly on the
evidence of a huntsman, who declared on his oath that he
laid his greyhounds on a hare, and coming up to the spot;
where he saw them mouth her, there he found, on the
other aide of a bush, Jumax Coxx lying panting and
breathless, in such a manner as to convince him that she
had been the creature which afforded him the course.
The unhappy woman was executed on this evidence.— Sir
Walter Scott—Family Library, No. 16.
The excavators, are busily employed in re-
moving the earth preparatory to making a grand entrance
into St. Jamey's Pink, opposite Waterloo place, from Pen-
man. From the width of the excavation it would appear
as if the entrance was to he be on a much more extensive
and convenient scale than was originally intended. The
communication with the park, we understand, is to he by
a flight of steps of gradual and easy descent, and when
finished will add considerably to the public convenience.
On Saturday, the 4th ingant, one of the
small boats belonging to Crail (with only one man on
board), on going off to sea, observed a large sea monster,
which, at first sight, he took for a small whale. The flat
had been sickly at the time, and upon being struck with a
small clip, nearly took beat, man, and clip after it. The
fisherman, after recovering front his fright, made all
despatch for land, and immediately reported to the men
of the coast guard the account of this wonderful pheno-
menon, who instantly proceeded to see in search of what
be called " a great sea monster." In a short time they
fell in with it, and, with a good deal of difficulty, brought
it ashore. It turned out to be a shark, apparently sick.
It measured 10 feet ha length, and 46. round the thickest
part at theibody. Its mouth, when open, was about lb
inches striate, with six rows of teeth in the upper jaw,
and two in the lower. On opening it the liver was found
to be of so /ergs a rise, as to require a large tule to contain

Tilt LATh MU. HUSKISSON.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
The Committee has met again to-day, and the
preparations for Mr. Huskisson's funeral are ad-
-atieing with rapidity. In compliance with the ex-
messed wishes of Mrs. Iluskisson, there is to be as
:lulu pomp and pageantry exhibited in the cere-
noniel as is consistent with the respect due to het
leeeased husband, and to the character of the
Thera! and opulent town which has solicited the ho-
,our of interring his remains. An advertisment has
wit appeared, announcing that those gentlemen
,vho purpose attending the funeral on Friday next,
,nust signify their intentions to the Committee be-
fore four o'clock. on Wednesday afternoon, and
must be in attendance at the Town-hall before ten
•I'clock on Friday. Amongst the noblemen arid
l;entry who have already declared their intention to
he present on that occasion, are the Earl of Wil-
ton, Earl Gower, Lords Granville, Colville, and
Stanley ; Mr. Littleton, the Member for Stafford-
shire; Mr. J. Wood and Mr. Stanley, the Members
for Preston; Mr. Green, the Member for Lancas-
ter; and General Gascoyne, the other Member for
this borough. The chief mourners will be in ca-
riages; but the gentry of the town will follow the
body on foot ; so that the procession to the grave
will cDnsist in all probability of several hundred
persons. The grave, as I told you before, is to IA
in the centre of the new cemetery. A space equal
ro that assigned to 21 ordinary graves is set aside
for :t; so that if Mrs. Huskisson, or any other mem-
ber of Mr. Iluskitrion's family, should desire their
Idiot. to recline by his, there will be no difficulty
in acceding to their wishes. (.)f all places that I
have ever seen, the new cemetery is the one best
calculated to give an air of effective grandeur to 11
public funeral. No person will be admitted into in
without a ticket on Friday next; but there is room
on the heights which surround it to accommodate
many thousands without the slightest ',conve-
nience. I ought to have observed that. the proces-
sion will move to it from the. Town-hall through
Castle-street, Lord-street, Church-street, Bold-
street, Slater-street, and Duke-street.
A subscription has been opened for the purpose
of erecting a monument to Mr. Huskisson over the
place in which his body is to be deposited. Colonel
9 7 Bolton, Sir John Tobin, Mr Browne, and another
a gentleman whose name I have forgotten, have each
't subscribed 30(11. Other individuals have subscribed
7
4 smaller sums : but there is no doubt, from the
ration vene-
tion which the inhabitants of this town feel for
6
a their Into representative, that the subscription list
3 6 will ire very rapidly filled.
a I understand that a proposal was made in the
1,1 Committee to-day, to send is deputation to the Duke
a of Wellington, inviting him to attend the funeral.—
7 An oljection was taken to this proposal, on tire 2
ground that no invitation had been or ought to be
1.! sent to any individual,—that unless the attendance
were voluntary, there was no respect shown to Mr.
Huskisson's memory,--and that if a man's presence
a were given in compliance with the suggestion of u
f, third party, it was rather a compliment to that party
:I than to Mr. Huskisson. This reasoning prevailed,
;1, and the proposal was negatived almost unanitnonsly.
Mr. Joy, the barrister, who is I believe unconnected
with the town of Liverpool, went, however, to
Childwall, and asked his Grace whether he would

have any objection to attend among the mourners.
Ifis Grace replied, that nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to pay this last token of re-
-3 spect to a man so generally lamented as Mr. Hus-
kig,3oll; but that he was afraid that his public avo-
-5 cations were such as would prevent him from being
:I at Liverpool by the time appointed for the funeral.
3
2 tic was invited to a public dinner at Birmingham in
the course of the week, and he could not possibly
3 return to Liverpool before two o'clock on Friday.
From this it is evident that the funeral procession
2 will not reckon either the Duke of Wellington or Sir
R. Peel among the numbers who compose it.
. The Corporation of Liverpool is desirous that a
funeral sermon should be preached over Mr.
Huskisson's remains on Sunday next. They have
asked the Rev. J. Brooks, one of the Rectors of
Liverpool, to undertake that melancholy duty.
engagements are, however, at present, of so itiversi-
tied and multifarious a nature, in consequence of this
►melancholy accident, and also in consequence of the
Liverpool musical festival, which is fast approach-
ing, that he has begged leave to decline the honour
conferred upon him by his brother townsmen. His
colleague (the Rev. Augustus Campbell) has under-
taken to execute the duty ►which he has been obliged
hough reluctantly, to abandon. The Duke of Wel-

lington is still in this neighbourhood. Yesterday he
attended divine service at Childwall church. At an
early hour this morning he entered the town to
view the docks, and especially the new dock which
is to bear his name, and which, but for the late ac-
cident, he was to have opened during his present
visit. As he was recognised by some old soldiers in
the streets, a crowd soon collected to gaze upon him.
His Grace evidently intended to preserve is strict
incognito; but having Leen unsuccessful in that re-
spect, be put spurs to his horse, and by its exertions
soon escaped from the view of his noisy admirers.—
He has just left this town for the Marquis of Staf-
ford's seat, et Trentham.

The Duchess of Berri has, it is stated, been more
fortunate than his Grace in preserving her incognito.
She arrived here on Friday lust, to obtain a view of
the rail-road ; but nobody knew of her presence—if
indeed that august arid unfortunate lady has been in
Liverpool—until after her departure. She travelled
as Madame La Marquise de Itoigni, and was ac-
companied by the Countesses de BoniNor, and M.
le Comte de Meiners.

In spite of the palpable indelicacy of such a pro-
ceeding, many of the Liverpool people are begin-
ning to speculate respecting the individual who is
to he selected to fill up the vacancy in their repre-
sentation occasioned by the lamentable death of
Mr. nuskisson. I have already heard the names
mentioned of Lord Palmerston, Sir It. Peel, Mr.
C. Grant, Mr. Wolriche Whitmore, Mr. Gladstone,
and Mr. Moss, I should think that the three fost
gentlemen mould decline the honour, even if it were
conferred upon them. Lord Pahnerston is Mem-
ber for the University of Cambridge, and Mr.
Chalks Grant for the county of Inverness; so that
(hose two gentlemen would rather lose than acquire
dignity by vacating their present seats to represent
the borough of Liverpool. Sir Robert Peel would
in all probability decline the burden of its represen-
tation, for the same reasons which Mr. Canning
alleged for giving it np,---namely, the impossibility
Of adequately discharging the business of the town,
in conjunction with the important duties of his high
Ace, and the probability of his having occasionally
to advise the adoption of measures, which, though
beneficial to the country generally, might for a time
operate prejudicially to the interests of Isis mural.
tuents. On the claims of the three other gentle-
men whose names have been mentioned as those of
probable candidates, I purposely abstain from saying
a single syllable.
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Stet,--When Mr. Huskisson became a member of
the British Cabinet, of all his juvenile indiscretions
there were none he was more anxious to bury in
oblivion than that of his buying been a member of
the celebrated " Jacobin Club' at Paris.
Your correspondent, Cl. P., may, however, satisfy
himself that the late Mr. Huskisson was not only a
member of the " Jacobin Club," but that be had ,
the youthful vanity to pnblish a speech which he de- ,
Livered to it on the 29th of August, 1700. J. K.
0 We have no doubt of the authenticity of the
letter which we published with Mr. fluskisson's
subscription on Monday, though we aro told that in
some quarters its authenticity has been questioned.
The quarter whence we received it is our guarantee
on that point. At the same time we have seen, in
a collection of pamphlets, a speech of Mr. Iluskis-
son's, addressed to a Parisian club on the 20th of
August, 1790. The subject of this speech is the
policy of en additional issue of assignots, and the
manner in which it is treated would not have dis-

of the Right non. Gentleman. What he says of
p 'per money is incontrovertible, and the only evi-
;knee of an excessive libetalism which we find in
iis speech, is a recommendation to meet the wants
if the sate, not by an issue of depreciated paper,
but by the sale of national property. In the title of
he speech, Mr. Iluskisson is described as en English-
man, and a member of the Societe from 1789. The

the society long before it became formidable, under
-he name of the Jacobin Club ; and hence he is
;UV ilied in saying that he never attended the sittings
of that club but once.

EXHIBITION OF THE NETHERLANDS'

MANUFACTURE.

The triennial exhibition of the arts anti manufac-
tures of the Netherlands took place this year in
Brussels, in succession to two former ones, which
have been held at Ghent and at Haarlem. We
have been favoured by a gentleman who succeeded
io obtaining admission to the exhibition a few weeks
Igo (although the political disturbances had
caused its being then closed to the public), with
to account of its contents, an outline of which
is as follows t—The apartments appropriated
,o it were ten in number. The 1,,t saloon
comprised specimens of paper, of types, and
printing, of binding, of wax candles, perfumery,
harness, small mechanical and miscellaneous objects,
lithogruphy, in which latter art the Belgians
have of late a remarkable excelioce, and have ext.,
cuted prints little inferior either in bt;,nty.or attar
oess to the celebrated productions of Ger4.l.llnY t-*.*
The 2d saloon comprised pumps and other machn::".
irttl the third agricultural instruments, cordage, and
carriages. With the exception of the Brussels ear.
riture.+, there are few articles of. this ciescriptioo
which cm at all livid those of Brifaiff.—.2
The 4th saloon contained cirt.cloths, leaftratc
~r all sorts, hats, hoes, chemical preparutionii
hardware, pottery of the comae kind, glasses,
marble tables, &c., and other domestic utelphile--
The sth saloon was appropriated to carpets, whoatl
fame is so wide,—to woollen cloths, the manutia:-
tore of which is greatly on the increase, and is
already at a high state of perfection—to stuffs of
cotton, and silk of every variety, to linen, thread,
iibbons,furs, and caps and bonneis.—The 6th saloon
was the most attractive, from its exhibiting the
beautiful Belgian lace, Porcelaine, crystals (which
include all other glass than pier, window, and
cal glasses), jewellery, bronzes, mathematical and
surgical instruments, clocks, cutlery, arms, and those
articles of fashionable dress of every description
from which the female form acquires new loveliitats
in all its parts.—The 7th and Bth saloons were
filled with furniture, in general elegant and cheap ;
and the 9th, with musical instrument*, in some of
which, especially the pianos, great improvements
must be made before they can compete with such us
we are used to here.—The 'loth saloon contained
Java goods, being a collection of 227 lots, pureftesed
by the Government from the exposition for the
Island of Java, held in the Palace of Welterrede
there in June 1829. It consisted chiefly of silk anti
cotton stuff's, of straw work and ornaments, with
samples of tea, tobacco, drugs, mil other colonial
productions.

The number of exhibitors for the pievinces of the
Netherlands was 1,046, each of Wm placed, on
an average, six or eight specimens of the various
articles in his line of bilsnesa. Of these 1,046,
only 184 were resident in the ten northern provinces,
a fact which strikingly illustrates the preponderance
of the manufacturing interest in the southern pro-
vinces, which are now pressing for a separation, and
whose market was so greatly abridged by the union
with Holland. The eclat of the exhibition has of
course been almost lo,t by the political commotion
with which the Netherlands are unhappily afflicted.
It will probably soon he finally closed, when the
various articles will be assigned to the municipality
of Brussels, who are authorized to dispose of them
by lottery—u mode of proceeding than which, on
moral grounds, any would be more desirable., when
the sanction of the Government authorizes the sale.

which nations are not naturally fitted, and they tiro
not a little attributable to a spirit of national vanity
which aims at a general rivalry of , the industry of
neighbouring countries, without due consideration
of the peculiar branches in which each might, and
ought to excel respectively. It has always seemed
to us, that the only substantial advantage .of a
national repository, is the encouragement and ex-
citement which such an institution must give to new
inventions, and especially to those of artisans of
small means who find it very difficult to bring their
productions into the notice they deserve. This is
the great reason why we view with pleasure the
successful commencement of the National Repository
at Charing-cross. The plan of this estab;islinient
is wholly different from that of the periodical
exhibitions at Paris, Brussels, St. Petersburgh,
and other European cities. It does not pretend to
the vain task of collecting specimens of every branch
of the industry of this great nation of workshops;
(for those who wish to take so wide and general a
survey can only be told, "arena/spice I") but it
opens itself to all new inventions which mark the
progress of human ingenuity, and the increasing.
power of the mind of men over the materiel world.
flits catalogue of the Exhibition now open, affords
ample proof of the readiness with which the invite-
....

lion to exhibit has been accepted by artisans; in all
parts of the kingdom. We are glad to perceive
that the Committee have resolved to admit Foreign
as well as British specimens into the Repository,
inasmuch as this arrangement will not only inform
our artisans of the growing skill of their neighbours,
but will give the Institution a double attraction fur

the numerous visitors, who at once amuse and in-
struct themselves within its wane. It is of great
importance that all ranks of our countrymen, and
more especially the higher classes, should take a
lively interest in the progress of that enterprising
ingenuity in which the wealth and strength of Du-
tuin consists, and we think, therefore, that the dit-

tinguished Committee over which Mr. Agar Ellis
presides, ure conferring a signal benefit upon the
country by their unremitting attention to the NA-
tional Repository under their superintendence.
