REVISED OFFICIAL PROGRAMME,

A meeting of Delegatesfrom Trade, Friendly, and

tricolour (green, red, and blue) scarves, and the
Foot Marshals sashes of the same tricolour.

On the motion of Mr. CREMER, seconded by Mr.
BANISTER, it was resolved that the following an-
nouncement should be printed and circulated largely
in the metropolis :

" On Monday evening next the Government will
state their intentions on the question of Reform.
On Monday morning next the
people will state
theirs. All who wish the Government to under-
stand the people's views on Reform are invited to
join the Reform League Demonstration."
The CIIAIRIIAN said the carriages for the coun-
cil and deputations would be assembled at the
Duke of York's Column, so that it would be easy
to treat the members of the different Clubs to such
demonstrations as might be fitting. (Laughter
and cheers.)

On the motion of Mr. ODGER, the following re
solution was carried :

"That this meeting, composed of representatives
of Friendly, Trade, Reform, and Temperance So-
cieties, considers that any Commission appointed
by the present House of Commons, or the present
Government, to inquire into the doings and deal-
ings of working men's assoeiatiOns; will be alto-
gether unsatisfactory unless a fair number of their
own class arc allowed to sit and take part in the
business of the said Commission."
The proceedings then terminated.

TULIPS AND HYACINTHS FOR THE DRAWING-
want to present amateurs with a key to
perfect success in the embellishment of tables, windows,
and sideboards with these lovely spring flowers. It is to
grow the bulbs in boxes of light rich earth, and force them
as required. Then take them up, shako all the earth from
their roots, and insert them where wanted, in elegant
vases, in moss baskets, anywhere and everywhere. When
actually flowered in vases and glasses, the spikes are
lanky, the colours weak, and in some cases they are very
much in the way, and the glasses get broken by servants
in dusting, kc., &c. Let those who love the amusement of
flowering them io water follow it to their heart's content,
and may treat success attend their efforts ! The plan
I now recommend) insures an abundant display of
perfect flowers, which it is impossible to obtain by any
other method. On Chrietmate-day last my dining-room
was as gay as a flower show with poinsettias, cpacris,
camellias, and the rest of the subjects available at this
season. But the best effects Were prodtteed by filling
large vases with Van Thol tulips in four colours,
and mixing with them bits of foliage, such as fern
fronds. The tulips were drawn out of boxes, and
the earth shaken off them by one tap on the side
of the box, and were then grouped as required. They
lasted fresh and bright beyond New Year's-day, though
there was constantly a fire, and that sometimes a strong
one, in the room. Had the bulbs been cut away,
they would have perished in three days at most. The
same method answers admirably for conservato►y decora-
tion. Tulips may bo flowered in quantities in boxes in the
forcing pit, and be taken out of the boxes and potted, so as
to match exactly in height, colour, &c. When forced in
pots, there are always some that open prematurely, or that
lag behind the rest ; and if there be five bulbs in a pot,
and only three in bloom, the effect is unsatisfactory. But
by potting them when they aro in bloom, the nature of
of the display is at the command of the cultivator; and it
does not injure the bulbs for future use, if they are pro-
perly treated after flowering,-,--The Garden Oracle and
L Florlealtural Year Book.

Paris Universal Exhibition, 1867.

The work of the Exhibition has commenced.
There are no notices flowing from the English exe-
cutive; there is little interchange of official talk,
and, probably, the rules and regulations which we are
now about to publish in extenso, will form the con-
cluding chapter of the business proclamations.
These rules and regulations relate to the exhibition
of work comprised in Group I—Fine Arts. At
the begining of December we published a brief
précis of these rules and regulations, which have
been submitted to the owners of objects of art as
distinct instructions. They run thus, verbatim et
seriatim. The following works will be admitted for
Exhibition—.

Class I.—Painting in Oil.--Paintings on canvas,
panels, and on other grounds.
Class 2.—Other Paintings and Drawings.—
Miniature, water colour paintings; pastels and
drawings of all kinds ; paintings on enamel,
earthenware, and china ; cartoons for stained glass,
frescoes, water glass, &c.

Class 3.—Sculpture and Die Sinking.—Sculpture
in the round, in high-relief, in bas-relief, repousse
work and chasing. Medals, cameos, engraved stones.
Niello work.

Class 4.—Architectural designs and models.
Studies and details. Elevations and plans of build-
ings. Restorations based upon existing ruins or
documents.

Class s.—Engraving and lithography. Etchings,

line engravings, mezzotints,
.aquatints. Coloured
engravings, wood engravings. Lithographs and
chromolithographs. The following will not be re-
ceived :-1. Ropes, except engravings and litho-
graphs, including those which reproduce a work in
a manner different to that of the original. 2. Oil
paintings, miniatures, water colour paintings,
pastels, designs and cartoons for stained glass and
fressoes, without frames. 3. Sculpture in unbaked
clay.
The Exhibition will open on the Ist April, 1867
and will close on the 31st October following. All
works must have been executed since the Paris Ex-
hibition of 1855. The admission of works by foreign
artists is left in the hands of the commission repre-
senting the different governments in the Exhibition.
No works will therefore be admitted to the Exhibi-
tion if not sent with the authorisation and under

the seal of the foreign commission.
The Imperial commission will not correspon d
directly with foreign exhibitors. All communica-
tions must be made through the medium of the com-
mission which represents them.
Works must be sent in the name of the artist.
No work can be exhibited contrary to the wish of
the artist by whom it is executed.

No work of art, or obje,et exhibited in the Exhi-
bition Building, or in the Park, may be drawn,
copied, or reproduced in any manner whatever,
without the authority of the exhibitor, who is the
author of it. The Imperial commission reserves to
itself the right to authorise the taking of general
views of the Exhibition.

No work of art, or object exhibited, may be re-
moved before the close of the Exhibition, without
the special authority of the Imperial commission.
Furthermore, to prevent. misunderstanding, and
to save the contributor trouble, the English Execu-
tive forwarded a label to be affixed to the back of

the frame (not the canvas) of the picture, in which
were to be set forth the Christian name and surname
of the artist, the title of the work, and the name
and address of the proprietor. A printed columnar
table was appended, in which was to be inserted the
list of the works solicited for exhibition. In this
table were furnished the title of the work, the
artist's name, and the value for insurance.
The British executive declared also that they
would undertake the collection of all works in the
metropolis and the suburbs. They also defray all
expenses connected with the carriage to London,
transmission to Paris, and return to their respective
owners, of all works that may be requested for ex-
hibition.

Vans have been especially constructed for the
conveyance to and from Paris of works of fine art

lent for exhibition, in order to avoid all iisks con-
nected with their shipment and transhipment. The
British executive will also effect insurances against
all risks when desired, in which case the value should
be inserted in the above form.

It must be confessed that nothing has been left
undone. Ample directions for packing the paintings
have been issued. They run thus :
"1. See that the painting is securely fastened
into the frame, and that where a flat forms the inner
part of the frame it is strong enough to bear the
weight of the picture, and is properly nailed in,
especially when the picture is painted in panel.
Neglect of these precautions is the most frequent
cause of damage in removing pictures.
" 2. See that the wedges of the stretching frame
are tightened where necessary, so as to prevent the
canvas from bagging ; ICut great care should be
taken not to tighten them so far as to damage the
texture of the canvas.

3. When the picture is glazed strips of strong
paper sbould be pasted across the glass.

- -
" 4. Each picture should have one of the accom-
panying labels, filled in with the necessary
particulars, attached to the back of the frame,
under the direction of some person competent to
identify the picture. In no case paste or guru any
label to the back of the canvas, as ft invariably
causes a mark on the surface of the picture. When
the painting is not on panel, the label should be
affixed to the stretching frame or frame of the
picture.

" 5. Do not fasten the painting 3 either to the
top or the bottom of the packing-case, but attach
them by screws to battens, which should be securely
fixed into edges or notches within the sides of the
case, and placed at such distances as will keep the
pictures well apart from one another.
" 6. See that no nails or splinters project, and that

nothing is left loose within the case. The lid of
the case should be screwed down, not nailed on,

the name and address of the owner marked on the
inside, and the enclosed address label placed on the

outside.

"All pictures to be forwarded to this (South
Kensington) Museum at the latest by the 2d of
February, 1867.
Generally speaking, the response to the official
invitation has been satisfactory.
In painting, water colours, and engraving, many

of the best works (exeeuted within the last ten
years) of our most distinguished artists will be ex-
hibited. There are but one or two exceptional
omissions, for which the painters have but to thank
themselves.

As far as we can learn, it would seem that our
leading sculptors have been for some time engaged
on large monumental works of a class not very
suitable for exhibition. The space provided for
these and similar works from our own countrymen
by the Imperial commission affords only inadequate
means for its proper display. And this branch of
our art will not, it is feared, make much display or
attraction in Paris.

It may be remembered that on a previous occa-
sion we mentioned the circular issued by the Count
de Nieuwerkerke, the superintendent of the Fine
Arts for the French Empire. This circular, which
was addressed to possessors of works of art, &c.,
whose co-operation was desired, was of a somewhat
ambitious aim. It ctncerned the epochs of the
history of labour adopted for the classification of
the works exhibited in the French Section.
First Epoch.—Gaul, anterior to the use of metals.
—Utensils in bone and stone, with the bones of
animals that have now disappeared from the soil
of France, but found with these utensils, and indi-
cating the period to which they belong.
Second Epoch.—Gaul, independent.—Weapons
and utensils of bronze and stone, objects in burnt

clay.
Third Epoch.—Gaul, under the dominion of the
Romans.—Bronzes, weapons, Gallic coins, gold-
smith's work, jewellery, figures in white clay, red
and black pottery, inlaid enamels, &c.
Fourth Epoch.—The Franks down to the coro-
nation of Charlemagne (800).—Bronzes, coins,
goldsmith's work, jewellery, weapons, pottery,
manuscripts, charters, &C.
Fifth Epoch.—The Carloviugians, from the be-
ginning of the ninth to the end of the eleventh

VICTORIA CLUB—Tills DAY.

Speculation to-day was principally confined to the Lin-
colushire Handicap, for which Christmas Carol was again
in request, and at 5 to 1 mot with support, though not to
large amounts, which, however, would have been invested
at half a point more. Offers to bet bar one were nume-
rous, but Mount Palantine was friendless. After 25 to
1 had been booked about last year's favourite, Copen-
hagen, 20 to 1 was noted down to win about
a thousand, and Problem was supported at her quoted
price. Longdown was backed for a " century" at 25 to 1
for the City and Suburban, for which event Abergeldie
was "put up," and an offer of 25 to 1 at once snapped up.
The Rake was in better order for the Derby, an offer of 9
to 1 being readily accepted to £125. The Liverpool
Steeplechase was scarcely mentioned. Surney, however,
remained at his quoted price at which he was invested on
to win a few hundreds.
