THE VICTORIA. DOCK COMPANY.—Yesterday fore-
noon Mr. J. M. Rendell engineer, appointed by the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, under the Act to
make preliminary inquiries into applications for local
Acts, attended at the Blackwell hotel, Blackwall, for
the purpose of investigating and examining the plans of
the Victoria Dock Company, the promoters of which
propose to construct docks, for the admission of
colliers, in the marshes in the parish of West
Essex, above North Woolwich, upon a site
which vb ill comprise about 270 acres. Mr. Peto,
M.P., Mr. Kinnatrd (the director), Mr. Bidder (the
engineer of the company), with Mr. Parsons (the
solicitor), were present to support the undertaking.
501110 objections having been made on the part of the
Board of Ordnance and the commissioners of the Essex
levels. Mr. Parsons observed that clauses would be in-
sert,.d in the Bill to protect the interests cf the Govern-
ment and the commissioners. The plans of the company
would improve and not obstruct the navigation of the
river, as a large number of vessels which impede the
t,affi3 and tidal course of the river would be removed.
Mr. Rendell (on Mr. Parsons concluding) adjourned the
court, and took a survey of the site for the intended
docks.

SAILORS' HOME AT PORTSMOUTII.—A public meet-
ir g, over which Vicc-Admiral Dacres presided, was held
at Portsmouth yesterday, to consider the means of esta-
blishing a Sailors' Home for sailors in the port irrespec-
tive of the receiving ships. There were present Lord
George Lennox, Lord Frederick Fiezclarence, Admiral
Sir F. Austen, Admiral Douglas, and many other-naval
officers. Resolutions were passed for carrying out the
object desired, and several gentlemen addressed the
meeting on the necessity of the proposed home, and the
benefits likely to result from it. It appeared that appli-
cation had be e I made t r the Board of Admiralty for
assistance and co-operation, but the Lords declined in-
terfering in their capacity as a board; the First Lord
had, however, as Member for Portsmouth, promised his
assistance to the measure.
PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.—From a return to an

number of towns and districts which have asked for in-
spection under the Public Health Act, and of those
which have embraced and arc placed under its pro-
visions is 192, and that the amount of population which
these towns and districts comprise is 1,969,915.
NAPIER'S NEW WORK ON SOUTHERN AFRICA.
" The appearance of this work is extremely well-timed
and acceptable. In addition, however, to the strong in-
terest which clings to everything relating to the Cape,
the natural features and character of the country, the
dramatic excitemert of its history, and the wild race
that inhabit it, we have a rapid history of the Cape
colony, a sensible discussion of the emigration, the mis-
sionary, and the convict system, and the lively relation
of numerous excursions, each of which is a panorama of
landscapes of social life and manners. Altogether, this
a most important vvetk."—Sunday 7 inzes.
PRIDE AND IRRESOLUTION. A Novel. By the
Author of " The Discipline of Life."—The publication
of the new work of Lady Emily Ponsonby, " Pride and
Irresolution," promises to establish the author as one of
the most successful novelists a the day. In the school
of Miss Edgeworth, l‘liss Austin, and Miss Firrier (sa) s
the Britannia) has the noble and talented authoress a
these volumes studied with profit ; and we cordially
commend and recomraer.d these new scenes in " The
Discipline of Life" fur their trullifulnev, their rature,
their accurate delineation of character, and their delicate
fashioning, which bespeaks P.:e Land of one who has lived
in and through the world, and learnt from common scenes
their interest as incidents, and their value for instruction
and reproof.
DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL Duntiroup,—..

This distinguisl--.ed geceral officer, so long connected
with the corps of Royal Engineers, dit:d on the 81
instaat, at Tunbridge Wells, aged 75 y oars, and after
fifty-seven years' scrsice. ll° was present at the
siege of Fort Bourbon, and capture of Martinique and
Guadaloupe, in 1794. Iu 1846 he bccame
Culunel-
Commn:'dant of the corps of Ru3al Engineers.
ABOLITION or TILE LORD LIEUTLNANCT.—The
contemplated arrangement is to trPate a Secretary of
State for Ireland with a seat in the Cubit.et, and to
transfer to him, by Act of Parliament, such of the
executive riu,hts as are at present vested in the Lord
Lieutenant, The prerogative rights will go to the Queen.

for Ireland will have a Parliarce:tery
Jtary, and an office establishment, uniting
Secretary's Office in noblin Castle with the
Lee in London. By the constant residence in
London of the Secretary for Ireland, Irish Members of
Parliament will have the Government of Ireland always
on the spot, without dropping in at the Irish-office, or
going to tho Home-office, or writing over to a Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland as at present. These arrange-
ments will of course involve some others, and be perhaps
themselves somewhat altered, but the abolition of the
Viceroyalty is expected to take place before the opening
of next session. Such at least is understood to be the
proposed ehanges. An occasional visit of the Qeeen is
part of the plan.—Dublin Paper.
FOREIGN Hors.--Large importations of hops con-
tinue to take place from abroad. The steamer Soho,
from Antwerp, has brought 50 baleg, the growth and
produce of Belgium; the American Congress=, from New
York, has brought several bales, consigned; and the ship
Orphan, arrived in the docks, from New York, has
brought 100 bales of the article, consigned, being the
growth and produce of the United States.
BURGLARIES IN LAST SUSSEX.—For several weeks
past the inhabitants, both et the town of Lewes as well
as of the neighbourhood, have suffered considerable fear
and apprehension from the notorious gang of burglars
who succeeded in their nefarious practices at Welling-
ham and at Lee es, being at large. Warrants were issued
by the Lewes magistrates for the apprehension of sews•
ral suspected persons, and on Thursday the police re-
ceived their orders of procedure, and before one o'clock
at night they had secured five prisoners, viz., Gower,
Carey, Richardson, Funnel!, and Darby, and safely
lodged them in the Lewes police-station. The men un-
dere ent an examination before H. Blackman and G.
Molineux, Esqs., on Friday aft'rnoon, at the House of
Correction, and remanded. Several witnesses were
examined, but the investigation was strictly private.
A FRAUDULENT PREACH E R.—TheKendal Mercury
tells& story of a preacher who made a great sensation the
other day in ono of the " secluded dales " in that neigh-
bourhood. After he had astonished the entire neigh-
bourhood with his tloquence, it was whispered abroad
that the admired preacher was not in holy erects, and
had unlawfully desecrated the place cf worship. The
rural dean has referred the case to the high dignitaries
of the church, and the result is, that the parties 'recited
to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court.
TIMBER FOR THE ROYAL DOCKYARDS.—A return
having been required from the principal officers of the
Customs Department at the ports where there are royal
dockyards, of discrepancies which have been ascer-
taiced to exist between the admeasurement of timber
(free of duty) landed for the service of the royal dock-
yards, on the part of the Customs' officers at those
places arid the certificates of tke dockyard officers, it has
been arranged that by the addition of a per tentage to
the total quantities returned in the certificates furnished
by the dockyard officers of the measurement of timber,
free of duty, imported from the coast of Africa, the
accounts will in the average be sufficiently accurate for
the returns for statistical purposes. With respect to
mahogany aced timber, free of duty, imported from other
places, it is not considered expedient that any addition
to the dockyard measurements will be requisite, pro-
vided the officers of the revenue in the returns which
they furnish give the aggregate of the adweasurement
taken by them previously to any abatements being made.
CLEANING RICE IN BOND.—It having been re-
commended to the revenue authorities that the reweigh-
ing account of rice cleaned under bocd may be taken by
weighing one-twentieth part only of each entry, in those
cases in which the packages are of the same description,
and that the remainder of the packages be delivered by
tally, and the total weight of the rice computed accord-
ing to the account taken cf the packages weighed; the
proposition has been approved, and the several officers
of the department directed to govern themselves accord-
ingly in future.
DE. LAYARD'S RESEARCLIES.—Dr. Layard has
effected an entrance into a room in the old Nimroud
I alace, containing an extraordinary assortment of relics
—shit Ids, swords, paterm, bowls, crowns, cauldrons, or-
naments in ivory and mother-of-pearl, &c. The vessels
are formed of a kind of copper, or rather bronze—some
perfectly preserved, and as bright as gold when the rust
is removed. The engravings and embossing on them
are very bea9tiful and elaborate ; and comprise the same
mythic subjects which are found on the robes of the
figures in the sculpture—men struggling with lions,
warriors in chariots, and hunting scenes. Now a serious
question occurs to us ; are these precious relics, when

then they arrive at Busrah, to be intrusted to any ig-
norant and careless ship captain who may be ready to
convey thsm to England? We have not forgotten the
fate of the last cargo of curious ivories, glass, &c.,
which suffered such wanton outrage on the voyage and
at Bombay. If the Government really feel an interest
in Dr. La) ard's proceedings, a vessel should be sent
from Bombay expressly to receive his consignments;
but we fancy there is little chance of any such step
being taken. At Koyunjik, Dr. Layard has uncovered
a very interesting series of slabs, showing the process of
building the mounds and palaces.—Atlteneeum.
STATE OF, TRADE.-MINCITESTER, TUESDAY.-
We have had a dull and irregular market to-day, for
both cloth and yarn. There is no doubt buyers have
large orders in hand, from the inquiries made; but as
confidence in the price of cotton being maintained is
quite for the present overturned, they withhold the exe-
cution of their orders, excepting at rates much lower
than the nominal quotations of the day. Meanwhile the
closing of mills and working of short time progresses.
To this pass the trade cf the country has been brought
by the fictitious advance of the raw material. Indeed, as
has been frequently remarked, it is impossible the recent
preelection can be resumed, excepting at greatly reduced
rats for the raw material; and let the crop of cotton
turn out as small as the smallest estimate, production
must be proportionately reduced, end no advances could
be established. There are, however, symptoms of weak-
ness in Liverpool, arising not altogether from the small-
ness of the operations of the trade' but from the diffi-
culties which in some quarters have arisen, and are
arising, in devising the " ways and means," and obtain-
ing the renewal of acceptances. A large failure, or
failures, are reported to-day at Liverpool, which must
further derange financial operations there. There is no
change in low printing cloths, which continue in fair de-
mand. The finer sorts aro more difficult to sell. A
considerable business has been done in 40-inch shirting
at last week's prices; 45 and 50 shirtings are still asked
for. Long cloths and domestics are very little inquired
for, and the orders appear on a small scale.
CHEESMONGERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.-
Last evening the 14th annual general meeting and elec•
tion of the governors, donors, and subscribers of this
institution, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatc-
street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the
committee for the past year, the election of officers for
the year ensuing, and two male pensioners on the funds
of the institution ; Edward Corduroy, Esq., in the chair.
The report stated that since the foundation cf the insti-
tution in 1835, relief had been granted to 63 pensioners',
aged and indigent masters of the trade and their widaws,
of whom 36 were males, receiving 25/. a year, and 27
females receiving 15/. 34 had died, leaving, with the
two to be elected at the meting, 12 males and 19 1e•
males on the funds.of the institution, the amount dis-

tributed annually in pensions being neatly 6001. per
annum. and the total amount distributed by the society
6,299/. 3s. 101; the funded stock in the 3 per Cent.
Consols being 7,2311. 9e. ld.; the receipts for the
past year, including interest on stock, subscriptions and
donations, and other sources, was 1,0251. 14s. 7d., and
the expenditure, including pensions, 588/. Purchase of
stock, 2041. as. 6d., left a balance in hand of 62/. 14s Bd.
The report having been adopted, the chairman then an-
nounced the successful candidates to be John Cooper,
776 votes, and Gilbert Witt, 491 votes. Mr. Corduroy
recommended that at the next general meeting, the
question being considered whether it was not advisable
to alter the name of the institution to the Provision
Merchants' and Dealers' Benevolent Institution, by
which they would get a larger number of subscribers.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and
the meeting adjourned.
EXHIBITION OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NA-
TION,.—A general meeting of all persons favourable to
the objects cf the proposed Exhibition of thu Works of
Industry of all Nations was held yesterday in the
Couneil•chamber, Oxford, and was presided over by the
Rev. Dr. Richards, rector of Exeter College, as pro
Vice-Chancellor, and by Mr. Sadler, the mayor. The
meeting was addressed by Mr. Hepworth Dixon, of the
London central committee; after which the first resolu-
ti_ea recognising the benefits expected to result from the
exhibition, was moved and seconded by the Master of
Pembroke College and Mr. Alderman Browning, and
carried unanimously. The Principal of Brazenose
College then moved, and Mr. Alderman Thorp seconded,
the next resolution:—" That it was expedient the requi-
site funds should be subscribed by the voluntary libe-
rality of all classes, and not from the public revenue;"
moved, and which was also carried. The Principal of Alban Hall

oon RELIEF (CITIES AND Towets).---A Bill has
been presented to Parliament, and is now printed, en-
" A Bill to provide for the more equitable distri-
bution of the charge for the relief of the poor in certain
cities and towns." It proposes that in any union com-
prising a city or town of more than one parish, having a
population of 20,000, the several parishes forming such
union may, by an order of the Poor-law Board granted
upon the requisition of a majority of the guardians, be-
come combined for the purposes of the relief of the poor,
and form effectively only one parish with one common
fund. The guardians of such unions would be e npow •
end to cause surveys to be made in order to ascertain
the value of all ramble lands, &c , within the union, and
from time to time to make a lair assessment. The rates
would be recovered as usual, but their allowance by a
justice of the peace would be dispensed with. All war-
rants of removal and all appeals would be directed to the
guardians of the union instead of to the overseers. The
proposed measute would have no retrospectiue action,
or interfere with proceedings pending at the time of its
passing.
IMPORTATION PF COPPER.—A vessel, arrived from
Coquimbo and Valparaiso has brought from the former
place the very large quantity of 66,928 ingots of copper,
consigned to a firm of commercial eminence in the me-
tropolis.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 11.
MAGISTRATES' ROOM.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Meareir.)
John Wilson and Charles Lancaster were charged
with having on the 31st day of January last, com-
mitted sacrilege in the parish church of Kirby Mal
zeard, in the West Riding.
Mr. Blaushard and Mr. Travis prosecuted ; the pri-
soners were undefended.
It appeared that on Wednesday, the 30th of
January, a christening had taken place in the church
at Kirby Malzeard, which was attended by the clerk,
sexton, and others; after which the church doors
were locked, and all left secure. The next day the
sexton went to the church, and finding that he could
not get in by the door he usually entered at, he got
in by another, and on entering the vestry found that
the vestry chest had been torn from the wall in
which it was fixed with mortar, and in the room
above the vestry, called the vestry chamber, several
locks were broken open, and eight bottles of port
wine, which had been placed there for sacra-
mental purposes, had been stolen. The iron chest
had been broken open, and the floor was strewed
with papers and lime and mortar. Lying on the
floor was found a pickaxe and likewise a piece of a
blackthorn stick, which had been sawn off. In
order to establish the charge against the prisoners at
the bar, two farmers named Bland were called, who
stated that on the morning of the 30th of January,
the day before the sacrilege was committed, as they
were going from Kirby Malzeard to Ripon, they met
the two prisoners, in company with another man,
going towards the former place. In the evening,
between five and six o'clock, as they were returning
from Ripon, they saw, in a by-lane, near Westfield
farm, the two prisoners at the bar seated by a fire
which they bad made against a hedge, this spot being
about two miles from the church ; and subsequently,
on the same night, about ten o'clock, the prisoners
were seen by a woman, named Margaret Jackson, at
a place called Grewelthorpe, in a lane leading to the
church, who, mistaking them for some persons with
whom she was acquainted, spoke to them, and it
being a light night, she distinctly identified the pri-
soners. The next morning, between seven and eight
o'clock, the two witnesses named Bland, who were
on their road to Ripon, again saw the prisoners
on the road, who, on seeing them, suddenly
turned and proceeded as if they were going towards
Kirby Malzeard, instead of from it. As soon as the
sacrilege had been discovered the prisoners were taken
into custody on suspicion ; and the church being
searched, it was found that the lime with which the
iron safe had been fastened into the wall had been
trampled about by those who broke into the church,
and so caused footmarks to be made on the serge
cloth which covered the floor and cushions around the
communion-table. The boots of the prisoner Wilson
were brought to the church by the police, and were
carefully compared by the clergyman, with the foot-
marks, and several peculiarities which the boots pos-
sessed were distinctly marked upon the communion-
table floor. The Blends having given information as
to seeing two men at the fire the day before, they
went with the clergyman of Kirby Malzeard to the
place, and on searching about in the hedge, they found
the root of a blackthorn which had been half pulled
up, but which, being firm in the ground,
the stick had been cut off, and the black-
thorn found in the vestry exactly fitted the
root. Another circumstance against the prisoners
was that on the day after the robbery the prisoners
were seen by a respectable farmer seated underneath
a hay-stack near the road leading towards Ripon, at
which place they lodged, and close to that hay-stack
was found a bottle which had contained port wine.
A piece of cord was likewise found there, and that
cord corresponded with a piece of cord which formed
part of a brace of one of the prisoners, and a similar
piece was likewise found in the house where the pri-
soners lodged, attached to a carpet bag. In addition
to this evidence it appeared that the chaplain of the
goal at Ripon had observed the prisoners making
signs to each other during divine service, and having
mentioned it to the governor the prisoners were asked
if they knew each other, which they denied, and in
consequence certain conversations between the pri-
soners were overheard by the governor of the Ripon
gaol. The prosecution called as the last witness
Thomas Stubbs, governor of Ripon gaol, who said,
—The prisoners were in my custody on this charge,
and had been kept separate ; they had denied know..
ing each other. In the chapel I saw Lancaster hold-
ing up his fingers to the other prisoner. They were
in separate cells. On the 14th and 15th of
February, being between the cells, I heard Wilson
cough, and then say, " Tom, this is a bad job, they
have got the marks of my b- boots in that b-
old church at Kirby, and the stick that we left there.
It's a bad job, shall we get off ?" Lancaster
answered, " No. It's a bad job led—it's all up ; fif-
teen years lad ; but I don't care a curse if they send
me for ten years, the first day I gain my liberty I'll
begin robbing, drinking, smoking, and wh—g, in
spite of all they can do to me." Wilson then said,
" I suppose there is a deal said about our drinking
the wine under the hay-stack, but they can't swear it
was wine. Tom and me came over from York on
Saturday night and sprung the screw, and he went
back the same night and drank the rest of the wine
the Sunday before I was taken at York. I wish we
had a mouthpiece (counsel)—it might do U 3 a deal of
good. We must stop talking now, as the governor
may be coming, but we can hear him."
The case for the prosecution being closed, the pri-
soners simply denied all knowledge of the transac-
tion, and accused the witnesses of perjury.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
Verdict, Guilty. Sentence twenty years' trans-
portation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO W-STREET.

Willians Dugdale, of 37, Holywell-street, Strand,
was brought up on a warrant (after twice evading a
summons) to answer the charge of having exposed
indecent prints for sale in his shop window.
The proceedings were instituted by the police cf
the F division.

Mr. JARDINE was ashamed to see aged men like
the defendant trading in these abominable productions,
which corrupted youth and nurtured the most vicious
tastes and habits. liis Worship sentenced the pri-
soneito three months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
The defendant gave notice of appeal.
Andrew White, J. T. Cox, W. J. Dugdale, and
Henry Jlay, were then separately charged with
similar offences, all being resident in Holywell-street.
The summons against White was suspended for a
fortnight to enable the police to see if he was willing
to abandon the trade.

Cox and, Dugdale, jun., were acquitted by a
failure in the evidence, and May was committed for
one month.

Notice of appeal was given, and
Mr. JARDINE consented to take the following bail:
Dugdale to enter into his own recognizance in
1001., and to find two sureties of 501. each ; May, his
own recognizance in 601., and two sureties of 301.
each.

Other inhabitants of Ilolywell-street have been
summoned. Warrants were issued for the apprehen-
sion of two of them, and in the other cases the prose-
cution was withdrawn.
WORSHIP-STREET.

henry Clifford, a hair-dressser, in ifoxton-square,
was charged with attempting to commit a criminal
assault upon a young woman named Sarah Slater, 18
years of age, living with her mother in Vincent-
street, Shoreditch.

The complainant, a modest-looking young woman,
stated, that after spending the evening with a young
man who was paying his addresses to her, she was
returning home through Old-street-road, when she
Was accosted by the defendant, with whom she had
had some slight previous acquaintance, and who in-
vited her into a public-house to partake cf refresh-
ment. She declined the offer for some time, but
ultimately accepted it, and on leaving the house was
proceeding through floxton-square, when the prisoner,
on reaching his door, urged her to enter with him.
She positively refused to do so, and Was about leaving
when the prisoner seized her by the arms, which he
pinioned behind her, and forced her into the shop,
the door of which he secured, and instantly extin-
guished the gas. Before she recovered from her
alarm the prisoner again seized her, and, flinging
her down upon a piece of furniture, proceeded to
acts of the grossest indecency and violence, which she
strenuously repelled, and screamed out " murder." The
prisoner thereupon placed his hand over her mouth to
stifle her cries, dragged her bonnet from her head, and
tore her dress in several places ; but she continued
screaming, until a large crowd collected in front of
the house, when he at length desisted, and she suc-
ceeded in extricating herself from his grasp and es-
caped into the street, where she claimed protection
from the persons standing by, one of whom went
for a policeman, and the prisoner was given into
custody.
Police-constable Cole, No 492, stated that he was
hastily summonded by a gentleman to proceed to
the house, on reaching which he found the com-
plainant leaning against the wall, in a state of
great agitation and exhaustion, and crying bitterly.
Her dress also was greatly dishevelled, one of the strings
was off her bonnet, her 'mantilla was torn in several
places, and she appeared to have been just engaged
in a desperate struggle. On learning the nature cf
the outrage to which she bad been subjected, the pri-
soner was taken into custody and conveyed to the
station, where the young woman attended to prefer
the charge against him, but fainted from terror and
excitement, and was sent home to ha friends under
the care of an officer.

On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner
generally denied the facts alleged against him, which
he declared had been greatly exaggerated, and cast
some injurious insinuations against the character of

the complainant, who, he stated, had voluntarily
accompanied him.
Mr. IIAMMILL said it was a case which required
the fullest investigation, and he should therefore
order the prisoner to be remanded for the production
of further evidence, but would consent in the mean-
time to accept substantial bail for his future ap-
pearance.
WESTMINSTER.

John Marson, a builder, who has undergone three
or four examinations, charged with uttering a forged
51. note, and putting off a spurious cheque for 151.,
was fully committed for trial on both charges.
CLERKEN WELL.

Joseph Edmonds was placed at the bar for final ex-
amination, charged by Mr. William Lewis, jeweller,
of 122, Old-street, St. Luke's, with having obtained
901. under false and fraudulent pretences.
The prisoner was discharged for want of evidence.
James Smith Hase, a respectable-looking middle-
aged man, was finally examined, charged by Mary
Ann Hoy, a young woman, with bigamy.
The prisoner denied the charge, but he was fully
committed for trial.
SOUTHWARK.

James Burns, a locksmith, in Manor-place, Dover-
road, and three of his sons, William, John, and James
Burns, jun., were brought before Mr. A'Becket for
re-examination, charged with housebreaking. Con-
siderable interest was manifested by the auditors, in
consequence of the hitherto respectable charactera
borne by the accused, and the circumstance of their
being so nearly allied to each other.
Mr. Binns attended on behalf of the prisoners.
Sergeant Berry, M division, produced property of
♦arious descriptions, discovered at the residence of
the elder prisoner, in Manor-place, and which, it was
alleged, formed a portion of the articles plundered
from four different houses which had been broken into
and robbed.

The prisoners were committed for trial on the four
charges.

WANDS WORTH.

at Bromley, Surrey, George Biden, a waggoner to
Mr. Holden, a Godalming carrier, and William Clarke,
a hanger on and occasional help to waggoners, were

ance before Mr. Beadon, on a charge of being con-
cerned in,'the death of Ely Wing, aged 62, a collector
at the Kingston Tate, under the trustees of the Surrey
and Sussex roads, on the 24th of February last.
They were committed for trial at the Kingston
assizes.

M. SALLANDROUZE DE LAMORNAIX, IN

HANOVER-SQUARE.
This interesting exhibition, which has been closed
for some time for the purpose of adding to it other
specimens of French industry, re-opened on Monday
morning. It is greatly enlarged, and so nume-
rous have been the additions that the proprietor
has found it necessary to take the adjoining house to
the one in which the exhibition was formerly held,
in order to provide the necessary accommodation.
The added portion was formerly occupied by Mr.
Buckicgham, as the British and Foreign Institute.
Tne following extract from the prospectus gives a
general, but accurate, description of the exhibition ;
, " The first room is devoted to very cheap bronzes,
such as candlesticks, clocks, and other ornaments,
chiefly by M. Journeaux ; they exhibit an extraor-
dinary progress in the adaptation of the arts of design
to objects formerly considered to be almost exclu-
sively within the reach of the rich.
" The second room contains a profusion of crystal
and porcelain, remarkable for the purity of the de-
sign, the richness of colouring, and the taste and
originality of the ornaments. Two China vases,
exhibited by Mr. Aaron, from the manufactory at
Chantilly, attracted particular attention. Specimens
of engraved, coloured, and enamelled glass, from the
manufactories of St. Louis and of Baccarat, biscuit
ware from Sevres, and a multitude of beautiful ob-
jects, exhibited by M. Lahoche Boin, enabled him to
demonstrate his well-known skill and taste.

" Decorative pipers from some of the first manu-
facturers of Paris, and a fine collection of photo-
graphic pictures are hung on either side of the stairs
leading to the third room or grand gallery. This con-
tains splendid specimens of Gobelin tapestry, and se-
veral very large carpets of the various kinds manufac-
tured in the looms of Aubusson, at the establishment
cf M. Sallandrouze ; these are as remarkable for
the beauty of the design and the brilliancy of
their colouring, as they are stated to be for their du-
rability. Numerous pianos, superb furniture, large
bronze and china vases, chalices fur church service,
work cabinets by MM. Grol.e' bronzes by MM. Eck
and Durand (the makers of the celebrated bronze
gates of the Church of the Magdalen, at Paris), rich
and beautiful specimens of binding, by Madame Gruel,
and many other objects fill the space : and amidst
them stand out to great advantage several beautiful
mashle statues by M. Etex, and some wonderful
specimens of printing in colours, by M. Engelman.
These missals are faithful copies of some of the finest
examples of monastic labour, from the royal and other
libraries of France, and are, perhaps, the most won-
derful specimens of the chromo-lithographic art that I
have ever been executed.

" A small room leading to the first floor is devoted
to mechanical and children's toys, to perfumery, and
numerous specimens of those little delicacies of the
toilet in which our neighbours excel.
"Another room is devoted to articles made of zinc,
chiefly from the Vielle Montagne, and specimens of
the numerous applications of which that useful
metal is susceptible; among which should be particu-
larly noticed the beautiful white paint, which is not
only unalterable in colour, but has not any of the
dreadful effects of white lead on the health of the
workmen using it.
" The seventh room, which commences the suite
on the first floor, is filled with choice specimens, from
Sevres, of china and enamel, of which the subjects
are as well selected as the execution is perfect.
" The eighth room is devoted to bronzes ; MM.
Barye, Eck, and Durand, Charpentier, Marchand, Fe-
ratio, and Christofle, and Co., have contributed nu-
merous specimens which are as remarkable for their
beauty of design as for the sharpness of the exe-
cution.

" The ninth nom is literally crowded with speci-
mens of all those little objects of luxury with which
M. Sussee tempts every one, in the form of work-
boxes, dressing-cases, and ornaments of all kinds.
Here, too, M. Duvelleroy attacks the ladies by a
beautiful collection of fans.

" The gallery leading from this room is ornamented
with designs for shawls, tapestry, carpets, &c., and
among them are some designs by Amedee Couder,
for buildings for exhibitions of national products, &c.,
which at this time are very interesting. There is
also here a collection of cut steel ornaments, which
would hold a good position ,even amidst the produc-
tions of Sheffield and Birmingham.
" The tenth room contains an immense variety of
specimens of miscellaneous manufactures of utility.
" The eleventh room is devoted to woven stuffs. A
wonderful specimen from the Gobelins holds the chief
place; there are, however, others in the room which
may well take their place beside it. The superb me-
rinos and cachmires of M. Paturle and Co., of Paris,
are already so well known in England that the ex
hibition of their productions was almost needless.
There are several specimens of new kinds of stuffs for
furniture, &c.; and among them is the portrait ofJscr
guard, woven at Lyon:, in the celebrated loom of his
invention, and which hears his name. A large col-
lection of most interesting manufactures, exhibitei by
MM. Maureau, Dautey, and Vacaussin, rani of
shawls, by MM. Hebert, Dcneirouse, Gaussat, &c.,
complete this room.
" The last room but one contains a rich collection
of thread and blonde lace, barege, shaw ls, &c. ; and
the last room is devoted to jewellery of all kinds,
amongst which the beautiful productions of Froment
Meurice are pre-eminent."
