EXHIBITIO F THE WORKS OF
INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.
, The following circular has been sent to the Mayors
and other principal authorities of all the chief towns
throughout the country :--
Offices of the Executive Committee,
- Old Palace-yard, Londoti, Jan. 14.
Sir,--I am directed by the Executive Committee
acting under the instructions of her Majesty's Com-
missioners for the exhibition of 1851, to announce to
you that the Queen has been pleased to issue a Royal
Commission for the promotion of the Exhibition of
the Works of Industry of all Nations, to be holden
in the year 1851, of which 1 herwith transmit to
you a copy ; and I have to request your attention to
the clause by which her Majesty has empowered the
Commissioners to appoint persons of ability to be
local commissioners, to aid in the execution of the com •
mission. It is upon the authority of the following
resolutions, which the Commissioners passed at their
first meeting, that the Executive Committee make
this communication to you:—
" Resolved—
"l. That the Executive Committee be directed
forthwith to issue a circular to the mayors of all the
towns within the United Kingdom having a muni-
cipal constitution, announcing to them the issue of a
royal commission, and inquiring whether a local
committee has been appointed within the town, and
requesting that, if no local committee has been
formed, the mayor will communicate with the prin-
cipal inhabitantF, for the purpose of ascertaining .
whether, in their opinion, the circumstances of the
town render it advisable to appoint a local committee.
"2. In the cases where such local committees do
exist, or in which they may hereafter be appointed,
the mayor to be requested to place himself in com-
munication with the local committee, and report_
whether it is wished that local commissioners should
be appointed f ,r. the town; on what grottoes their
appointment is desired, what number of commis-
sioners is proposed, and what names are recom-
mended.
" 3. In the case of municipal towns having cham-
bers of commerce, a similar circular to be addresse4
also to the president of the chamber, and a request
made that he will communicate with the mayor upon
the subject.
"4. In towns or districts not having municipal
constitutions, but in which local committees hare
been or may be formed, the circular to sent to
such local committees."
In giving effect to the resolutions of her Majesty's
Commissioners, the Executive Committee have to
request that, if a committee exist in your town, you
will have the kindness to place yourself in communi-
cation with such committee, fur the purpose of re-
porting whether it is wished that local commis-
sioners should be appointed for your town ; if so—
On what ground their appointment is desired,
What number is proposed,
And the names of the persons recommended by
the local committee.
If there be no committee already formed in your
town, I am to request that you will immediately
communicate with the principal inhabitants, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the circumstances
of the town render it advisable to appoint a local
committee; and that you will, as early as practicable,
aequaint me with the results of such inquiry, in the
carrying out of which the Executive Committee will
be prepared to give every information and assistance
in tbeir power. When a committee has been formed,
I am to request that the steps suggested in the last
paragraph with reference to the appointment of local
commissioners may be taken
The duties which will devolve upon the local com-
missioners will consist chiefly in collecting evidence,
and in reporting on the various suljects affecting the
exhibition which may be referred to them by her
Majesty's 'Commissioners, who will at all times be
glad to receive from them such suggestions as they
may think fit to make ; and should personal as-
sistance be required, the local commissioners will pro-
bably be willing to attend in the metropolis from time
to time.
Tne Executive Committee would point out the ob-
vious inexpediency or nominating too large a number
of local commissioners, and they have therefore to
request that the names sugg.ested by your committee
may be as few as compatible with a due representa-
tion of the several interests of the locality. Should
your committee desire to nominate commissioners
jointly with the local committee or committees of any
neighbouring place or places, they will of course be at
liberty to do so.
The Executive Committee will feel obliged if you
will transmit, at your earliest possible convenience,
the full names and addresses of the local comraia.
sioners recommended by your committee, together
with a specification of the particular interest they are
chosen to represent,* in order that the same may be
submitted to her Majesty's Commissioners.
I shall be obliged by being favovred Kith a com-
plete list of the committee named for your town,
should such not already have been sent to rue.
I have further to inform you that ifyour committee
desire to be furnished with the publications in refer-
ence to the exhibition which the Executive C irnmit-
tee may issue, they will cruise them to be sent to you
upon your application for the same.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
MATTHEW i:IGUY WYATT,
Secretary to the Executive Committee.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOL OF
DESIGN.

Yesterday morning the distribution of the prizes
for the drawings, paintings, modellings, and designs,
executed by the students during last year, took place
at Somerset House. Mr. Labouchere assumed the
chair about two o'clock, when the Secretary, Mr.
Deverell, read the report, which gave a very favour-
able account of the present state and future prospects
of the institution. It appeared from this document,
that the number of students, and the amount of fees
paid in, had materially increased during the year
just closed; in fact, they were both higher than at
any former period since the establishment of the
school. The female school, which bad only recently
been established had also, it appeared, fulfilled all the
expectations that had been formed of it
Previous to the delivery of the prizes, Mr. Labou-
chere adressed a few words to the assembled com-
pany. He observed that he had experienced great
satisfaction on hearing the report, and the evidence
it contained of the success of an establishment in
which he had from the first felt the strongest interest.
He had inspected the works executed by the students
in the adjoining rooms, and' 'had been delighted at
observing the talent displayed in them. He would
not select any individual names fur comment—that
would be invidious; but he could not help referring
with peculiar satisfaction to the efforts made by the
female school, which bad resulted in showing the

as it afforded employment to females so congenial to
their taste and habits. _ln the course of some further
observations the chairman adverted to the grand ex-
hibition for next year of specimens of the, art and
industry of all nations, and expressed a hope that the
students of this institution would be found among
the contributors to that important exhibition.
The prizes having been awarded, the company in-
spected the works of art executed by the students.
The subjects of these are of the utmost variety, em-
bracing every department of decorative art; and they
are as conspicuous for originality of conception as for
correctness of design, taste, and clever execution,
