THE OTTOMAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The
bad weather has at length proved too much for the
contractors and workmen employed on the new building
(says the _Levant Herald of December 24th), and the latter
have accordingly been knocked off since Sunday. The four
porticoes which are to form the entrances to the structure
were, however, covered in before this interruption, and a
few days after the resumption of work will suffice to roof
in the whole. This once done, the further progress
with the shell of the building will be easy and rapid.
though we shall still adhere to our conviction that nei-
ther the house nor its contents can possibly be ready for
the proposed " opening" on the first day of Ramazan.
In the meantime, applications for space continue to be ad-
dressed to the commission. The Patha of Egypt has
notified his intention of sending specimens of all the raw
produce and manufactured goods of his viceroyalty. The
Persian Government has made a similar intimation, though
how it can be imported into a "national" Turkish exhibi-
tion is not quite clear. The Circassians, through their
Tophaneh deputies, have also asked room for specimens of
arms, embroidery, silver-enamelling, and raw produce, and
their application has, we learn, been entertained. In addi-
tion to these expectations from without, Azmi Bey is vigo-
rously whipping up the metropolitan corporations, speci-
mens of the whole of whose handiwork will accordingly be
forthcoming.

The for; of tender for the performs-Lee of the
West India mail service recently issued by the Go-
vernment differs in several particulars from the previous
one. The service, instead of being treated as a whole, is
divided into

cnt.
Whatever may be the advantage of these alterations,
there is a strong feeling among the commercial firma
in-
terested that the greatest care should be taken to insure the
service being well executed as regards postal speed and ex-
actitude, since the commerce between this country and the
places embraced in the West India contract (which includes
not only the West Indies and Mexico, but the point of
communication with the North and South Pacific) is
rapidly increasing in importance, and unless the English
service is efficiently conducted the French steam lines now
in operation and projected will absorb the traffic, and the
British correspondence with that region may gradually be-
come dependent on those vessels.
The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and the
Archduchess Charlotte, some of the German journals state,
will go to London in March to be present at the marriage
of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra of Den-
mark.
