CONDITIONS AD LIMITAmyTIONS

✓
All spirits, wines, and fermented liquors, unless derived
from unusual sources, are inadmissible, except in special
cases and under special restrictions; and when oils, spirits,
&c., are exhibited, to prevent accidents they must be shown
in well-secured glass vessels.
All highly inflammable articles, such as gunpowder, deto-
nat 11 powders, lucifer matches, tic., and all live stork, and
articles perishable within the duration of the exhibition,
are inadmissible, unless specially excepted.
Si trios I.—RAW Mamma Li AND PR ,DUC'.
DIVISLIN (A).— :MINIIIZAL KINGDOM.
It is desirable that the raw materials should be shown in
connexion wi.h the produce of . the mineral kingdom, so as
to form a history and explanation of the processes etoph.yed
to fit them for the useful and ornamental purposes of life.
The exhibition would thus comprehend (I) illustrations of
the valious modes of extracting and preparing the raw
rnateiials for produce; (2) illustrations of methods of re-
ducing, working, or combining raw materials, so as to obtain
products which may afterwards receive applications to the
useful or ornamental purpoes of life.
The specimens fitted for exhibition should include (1) only
those remarkable for their excellence, fur novelty in their
occurrence or application, or economy of their extraction or
preparation ; or (2) those remarkable as illustrations of some
further processes of manufacture.
DIVISION (B).—VEGETABLE KINGDOM.
The objects which the Commission is most desirous of re-
ceiving among the products of the vegetable kingdom are
such as from their utility, novelty, or practical interest may
appear especially deserving public attention. Peculiarly
fine samples of substances in common use; authenticated
samples of substances having similar properties, but derived
from different sources, such as arrowroot, sago, &c. Dyeing,
materials, accompanied by specimens exhibiting the effect
of such materials. Fancy wood, both in the polished, rough,
and manufactured state. All sorts of materials which are
applicable to the manufacture of linen, cordage, wickerwork
paper, ai:d the like.
Nothing, however, appears suitable to this exhibition ex-
cept such results of human industry as are capable of being
preserved without in,to through several

ury
_:al mont_
DIVISION (C).—ANIMAL KINGDOM.
As illustrations in this division, the various processes of
preparation may be exhibited in connexion with the raw
materials; and in some cases a finished article may be in-
troduced as the termination of a series of objects in prepara-
tory stages.
Nothing, however, appears suitable to this exhibition ex-
cept such results of human industry as are capable of being
preserved without injury through several months.
SECTION H.—MACHINERY.
DIVISION (A ). —MACHINES FOR DIRECT USE.
Machines will be exhibited in motion whenever it may be
desirable to do so, and it may be found practicable to provide
the te c3ssary arrangements for that purpose.
DIVISION ( B ).-MANUFACT [MING MACHINES.
Although in arranging this class for exhibition it will
generally be found advisable to separate products from the
producing mechanism, yet the latter should always be
accompanied with sufficient specimens of the raw material,
in its several stages of manufacture, and of the finished
product, to make the operation of the machinery
intelligible.
The complete series of tools and machinery that belongs to
the manufacture of any object of common use, such as a
watch, a button, or a needle, accompanied by specimens
of the object and its parts, in their various st!ig(.B
i
of :progress, is so instructive and interesting that it s
very desirable to obtain several such series for the proposed
exhibition.

SECTION lII.—MANUFACTURES.
Manufactures to be exhibited in this section must be in
their finished state, as fit for use.
All articles to be admitted in this section must exhibit one
or more of the following qualifications:-
1. Increased usefulness, such as permanency in dyes;
improved forms and arrangements in articles of utility, &c.
2. Superior skill in workmanship, as in block-printing,
cha-ing, &e.
3. New use of known materials.
4. Use of aew materials.
5. New combinations of materials, as in metal and pottery.
6. Beauty of design, in form or colour, or both, with refer-
ence to utility.
7. Cheapness, relatively to excellence of production.
SEcriox IV.—ScuuTune, MODNLS, AND THIC PLASTIC

-
Objects formed in any kind of material, if they exhibit
such a degree of taste and skill as to come ruder the de-
nomination of Fine Art, may be admitted into this section.
The specimens exhibited shall be works of living-artists.
Oil paintings and water-colour paintings, drawings and
engravings, are not to be admitted except as illustrations or
example of materials and processes, and portrait busts are
not to be admitted.

SIR C. NA PIER AND THE INDIAN
ARMY.
The Bombay papers publish the following order of
Sir C. Napier :
" Head-Quarters, Camp, Lahore, Dec. 15, 1849.
"At the late review of the troops on the plain of
Meean Meer, the following egregious deficiencies were
evident to all :

" 1. That some commanders of the regiments were
unable to bring their regiments properly into the
general line.

"2. One commanding officer of a regiment at.
tempted to wheel his whole regiment as he would a
company !

" 3 Several officers commanding companies were
seen disordering► their companies by attempting to dress
them from the wrong flank.
"4. Whe❑ the line was ordered to be formed on
the lef, column, some commanders deployed too soon,
and ordered their lines (thus improperly formed) to
double quick,' in order to r.-gain their pesiion !
This was all bad ; but it was worse to see the regi-
ments, on receiving the word to double quick, at
once charge with loud shouts—no such order to
charge having been given by any one, nor the word
prepare to charge ; nor did anything occur to give
a pretext for such a disgraceful scene, exhibiting both
want of drill and want of discipline !
"5. Bad as this was, it was not the worst. When
these regiments chose to 'charge,' the Commander-in-
Chief, to his astonishment, beheld the men discharging
their firelocks straight up in the air, and he saw some
men of the rear rank actually firing off their muskets
to the rear over their shoulders as their bearers (he
will not call them soldiers) were running to the front!
He feels assured that no such scene could have oc-
curred in any other regiments in the army ; if ever
such again happens, he will expose the commanding
officer of any regiment that so disgraces itself in
public orders, to the whole Indian army. In the
course of his service he never before witnessed such
a scene. No commander could go into action
with a regiment capable of such conduct, without
feeling certain that it would behave ill ! The Corn.
mander.in-Chief will, therefore, hold commanding
officers responsible (for they alone are to blame) that
any soldier who shouts, or charges, or fires without
orders, be instantly seized, tried at once by a drum-
bead court-martial, and the sentence executed on the
spot. Courts- martial which try such dangerous offenders
will, the Commander-in-Chief has no doubt, uphold mi-
litary discipline and military honour against outrageous
and criminal disorder. This order may be deemed
severe—the Commander-in-Chief means it to be so,
for he will not pass over without animadversion
faults which, if tolerated, would in the event of wee
produce certain defeat to this army. The reviews
which the Commander-in-Chief makes of the troops
are not to be taken as so many chips in porridge.
They are made for the purpose of ascertaining what
officers are fit to command battalions, and there being
no want of such in the Indian army, he will feel it to
be his bounden duty to remove those who are not ;
and whenever he finds a regiment' fire,' shout,' or
charge,' without orders from its commander, he
will, after this warning, remove the latter from his
command.

" The Sepoy is both a brave and an obedient sol-
dier, and whenever he behaves ill, it isin a great
measure the fault of his commanding
officer.
"The drill and discipline of all armies rests mainly
with the commanders of regiments and of companies.
They are in immediate contact with the officers, non-
commissioned officers, and private soldiers; and to
them general officers must look for that perfect obe-
dience without which any army is an armed mob,
dangerous to its friends, and contemptible to its
enemies.
"The Commander-in-Chief does not hereby call on
commanding officers to torment those under their
orders by long and harassing drilling. But he does
call upon them to instruct their officers, and to in-
struct themselves, and also their supernumerary ranks,
that they are to seize any man in their front, who
dares to shout, or talk, or fire, or run, without orders.
General officers commanding divisions and brigades
in this army are called upon to see that commanders
