rate extent. A cargo of 4,000 boxes Oranges, ex
Olaff Kefrae, from Messina, has arrived in bad condition,
a portion
of which, sold by Keeling and Uunt, at publio
sale, went at a price proportionate to quality. No im-
provement in Lemons. Nuts without alteration.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE RIBBONS.—In the South-
east Gallery of the Exposition, there are many most exqui-
site French ribbons, most of which are as perfectly novel in
their design and make as it is possible to conceive. Among
these there are none, however, which show more elaborate
care in their drawing or greater skill, not to say genius, in
the carrying out than the two which bear the portraits of
our most Gracious Queen and Prince Albert. Few persons
would imagine these to be the result of the loom, but rather
that they were impressions from highly-finished engravings.
This is not, however, the case ; they are actually specimens of
weaving, having been designed and finished under almost
the sole guidance of the director of the .illagasin de Rubano,
in Regent-street, who has likewise succeeded in getting
a_ velvet figure upon a silk ground, so long sought for by both
English and French manufacturers.
