General Pfanzelter, Austrian commandant of An-
cona, has issued a notification, inserted at length
in the Giornale di Roma of the stb, regulating
the competence of the military and civil tri-
bunals of the Marches. The Giudizio Statario,
or severer kind of court-martial, which
can pronounce no other punishment but death,
takes cognizance of all acts of high treason, of de-
tention of arms, participation in insurrections with
or without arms, illegal enrolments, the resistance to
sentinals, patrols, and any Austrian or Pontifical
soldier, supposing that the sentinel or patrol
have not exercised their right of firing upon
those who have molested them, &c. Th milder
sort of court-martial takes cognizance of the
crimes of carrying arms about one's person, distri-
buting revolutionary writings, insults of the lighter
kind ; directed against military men, wearing revo-
lutionary tokens, singing revolutionary songs, rioting,
participation in revolutionary meetings, transgression
of the laws of censorship of the press, &c. All other
transgressions are left to the cognizance of the Ponti-
fical tribunals.

AMERICAN EXHIBITION OF THE
WORKS OF ALL RATIONS, 1852.

Proposals for the transfer to America of selections
from our own forthcoming great exhibition of next
year have just been submitted to the Commissioners at
the City office, in Cheapside. The project is con-
sidered a bold one, but not less practicable than
bold. The American gentlemen who have engaged
in it profess to be actuated by motives equally
honourable, and almost equally disinterested, with
those of the distinguished originators of the London
exhibition. The improvement in connexion with
manufactures is their first object, and the profits of
the exposition are to be given to that American city
which will make the most liberal arrangement for its
reception. In other relations the undertaking is in-
tended to be thoroughly commercial, and strong in-
ducement is held out to all the European nations by
proposing the vast and increasing market of the Trans-
atlantic continent for the display and competition of
their productions. The occasion will, it is calculated,
be earnestly embraced by our own manufacturers for
impressing their American customers with an increas-
ing sense of the immense variety and excellence of
the prodnctions of the looms and the lathes, the
moulds and the anvils, the chisels and the gravers,
and all the other apparatus and implements of the
mighty industry of England.
The following are extracts from the transmitted
documents upon the interesting subject :

" THE AMERICAN MINISTER To COLONEL REID.

"The American Institute of New York is taking steps to
promote the objects of the exhibition, and is consideied by
the British Consul at New York, and by the Governor of
that State, as a proper medium of intercourse with the
American people. The Governor has suggested to the
Legislature that all objects intended for the exhibition
should pass the canals and railroads free of the usual
tolls collected by the State. Mr. John Jay Smith,. a
gentleman of standing and character at Poiladelphia,
has, with the sanction of the American Government,
made a proposal for transferring to the United
States, for exhibition there, such portions of the
London exhibition as it may be possible to carry over after
the termination of the exposition here. He presumes that
the Roy al Commissioners will consider this plan as an
addition to their programme, as the manufacturer would
thus have additional inducements to exhibit his skill in
two markets, the American being a growing and very
important one, where the most expensive goods are now
aura of a sale.

`THE ADVANTAGILS TO THE EUROPEAN MANUFACTURER.

__---- -
"It is for the advantage of the maker that his goods
should be seen in a very extensive and growing market,
where expensive articles are in demand and ofread y
it is also the interest of the American consumer tosee
goods in his own country, where, if they are superior to
the growth and manufacture of that country, a paramount
sale;
and extensive patronage is sure to follow. To this end
the earnest endeavours of the eminent American mer-
chants who will receive the goods will be em-
ployed to procure orders from the samples sent, and
they will look for repayment of their outlay to this
source, and to the usual charge of commission merchants
or auctioneers at the close of the sal*. A market will
thus be opened to a thousand productions of the loom
and the anvil, &c., which have not yet penetrated to
the lands of the West, or if they have, may not have
been universally seen. The goods will ay! shipped from
London by Baring, Brothers, and Co., and to them and
other houses reference will be made for the standing of
the American merchants into whose hands the mer-
chandise will go.
