GREAT EXHIBITION OF THE
INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.

MEETING AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.
(THIS DAY.)
His Royal Highness Prince Albert having expressed
to the Society of Arts his desire that a great exhibition
of the works of British industry should be held in
London in the year 1851, a deputation this day waited
upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of explaining to
an influential meeting of the citizens of London, whom
his Lordship had invited to meet them, the views of tis
Royal Highness.
At halt past twelve the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
M.P., took the chair. His Lordship was supported by
Sir Peter Laurie, Knight, Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr.
J. A. Smith, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Prescott,
Alderman Copeland, M.P., William Cotton, Esq., Mr.
Curteis, M.P., Mr. Barclay, Alderman ' Sir John
Pixie, Bart., Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, Mr. Al-
derman Wilson, Messrs. Caldecott, Dilitsb; Morrison,
Cook, Gladstone, Berwick, Howse, BarOor, and a great
number of the most influential Ananufacturers and
bankers in the city of London. .;
The deputation consisted of Messrs. Cole, Russell,
and Dilk.

The LORD MAYOR, after some preliminary remarks,
said, on the Ist of September, he was informed that it was
the wish of his Royal Highness Prince Albert that an
exhibition of British industry, of all nations, should be
held in London in 1851, and requesting him to ascertain
the feelings of the citizens on the matter; and, therefore,
he had called them together in order that they might
hear from the deputation (charged by his Royal High-
ness) to state his views on the matter. He
,(the Lord
Mayor) felt quite sure that such an exhibition would be
of great service. His Lordship concluded by calling
upon Mr. Cole to explain the views of his Royal High-
ness.

Mr. COLE then came forward. He said the matter
had been under the consideration of the Society of Arts
for upwards of five years, but until the last two years
they did not think they would be justified in having a
large exhibition. At the last exhibition of the Society
of Arts the specimens selected were of so superb a
character (one of the finest being exhibited by her
Majesty herself), the Prince thought the time had arrived
when a grand exhibition might take place. It was,
therefore, decided by the Prince that the specimens ex-
hibited should not be confined to English or British
manufactories alone, but that it should :be open to all
nations. He anticipated that it would be one of the
finest exhibitions elm. known.
Mr. PRESCOTT, the Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land, proposed a resolution tendering the thanks of the
meeting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert for his
Proposition of establishing an exhibition like the one
suggested, and offering their co-operation in carrying it
out. He thought the exhibition would not only be pro-
ductive of the greatest good to this country, but to every
nation which might send specimens for exhibition. The
exhibition would engender a feeling of industrious
rivalry among all nations.
Mr. R. C. Dieeote seconded the motion, which was
carried.

Mr. HUMS, M.P., proposed the next resolution, which
was in effect that the meeting was of opinion that the
funds necessary for the exhibition should be raised by
subscription, and should not be taken out of the taxcs
of the country. He strongly deprecated any Govern-
ment aid.

Mr. Alderman SALOMONS seconded the motion, which
was agreed to. _ _ _

A rote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A FOIcTIINATE MAN.—A tall, gentlemanly-looking
man, who gave the name of Samuel Davis liPillorris,
and described himself as a surgeon, was charged with
having been found in the public streets drunk and in-
capable.
. .

'she inspector stated that about half•past eleven
o'clock last night the landlord of the Crown and
Cushion public house, in Tottenham-court-road, sent a
messenger to the station with the information that a
gentleman was at his house in a shocking state of drun-
kenness, having a large amount of money in his posses-
sion, and he was afraid, unless some one took charge of
him, the money would be lost or stolen. Police-constable
F 42 was, therefore, directed to repair to the house ;
and, acting under the directions of his superior officer,
he instructed the landlord to put the gentleman out. He
then perceived that the gentleman was quite incapable
of taking care of himself, and at once conveyed him to
B
thae station-house, where he was searched, and ten 51.
nk England notes, together with 16s. Hid.
were found in his possession.
Police•constable F 42 having corroborated this state-
ment,
Mr. HENRY asked the gentleman who and what he
was, and where he resided? The gentleman replied
that he had been brought up to the medical profession,
but at present he followed no calling whatever. He
resided at 35, North-street, Pentouville.
Mr. HENRY asked him how he supported himself ?
The gentleman said he was supported by his father, a
gentleman of independent property, residing at No. 12,
Upper Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square.
Mr. HENRY—flow did you get all this money?
The gentleman said he drew it out of the Bank of
England, having yesterday sold some stock to the extent
of 601., which stood in his own name and that of his
cousin, Mr. M. M`Morris, a retired navy surgeon, living
at Camden Town. Ile produced a paper which confirmed
this statement.
Mr. HENRY wished to know 115 w it was that he could
sell out alone. The gentleman said he was allowed to do
80 to provide for his immediate wants. It was his own
Pt"Perty. although it stood in two joint names.
Mr. HENRY told him he might consider himself lucky
that he had not last the whole of the money. The gen-
.tleMan admitted that he did, adding that he felt much
444814e4 to the police for the care they bad taken of him.

THE

Mr. HENRY fined him ss. for being drunk, and
directed an officer to go and make inquiries into the
truth of his statements, with instructions to restore the
money if hii account of himself was correct.
The gentlemtn was then discharged.
