ITALIAN EXHIBITION, 1861.

The Government of the King of Italy have re-
solved to hold an Exhibition of Art and Industry
at Florence in the ensuing months of September
and October. _ _ _

Italy will see for the first time the works of her
artists and the products of her industry collected
together under the roof of a Crystal Palace.
An official announcement has been circulated
which specifies the following as the principal fea-
tures of the Exhibition :

It will be divided into three departments—Agri-
cultural, Industrial, and Artistic.
It is intended that Rome and Venice shall both
be represented. It is calculated that there will be
about 5,000 contributors.
In the Artistic Department the works of artists
deceased during the last 20 years will be exhibited,
as well as those d living artists.
The Cattle Show will comprise not only the pro-
ducts of the peninsula, but also those of Sardinia,
and Sicily.
Two thousand workmen are now engaged upon
that part of the Palace of Industry which is to
hold the works of painters and sculptors.
In the Machinery Department will be exhibited
the Poltelerapho Coselli, acting between Florence
and Leghorn; also new motive power discovered
by Signor Barsanti and Lateucci, destined, per-
haps, in time to change the present system of loco-
motion.e

The French naturalists who assemble at Schonberg,
as well as the Swiss, are invited to meet their col-
leagues at Florence.
For those who are fond of sport the races and the
opening of the Tir Nazisnale for rifle shooting will
take place.
Manufacturers of agricultural implements, both
English and others, are specially invited by the
Royal Commission to send in specimens of their
manufacture. Not only will a place be reserved for
their reception and exhibition, but sales will be
permitted. A new market is thus thrown open to
a branch of industry in which the United Kingdom
particularly excels.
