"In addition to the facilities offered by these gentlemen
we are further directed to add that the firm of Messrs.
Nicholson, Besley, and Co. (East India and China
Wharf, London), have signified their intention oftuaking
no charge upon goods conveyed by their lighters or for
landing on their quays; and the Hull Dock Company,
Hull, have also announced that no charge for wharfago
will be made by that company. The usual charges will
therefore be still further reduced in the case of all per-
sons who may take advantage of the offer thus liberally
made by these parties.
" In transmitting the names of these agents, her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners are desirous that it should be
clearly understood that they do not hold themselves in
any way accountable for the charges which may be
made, and that the sole object which they have had in
view in what must be considered as a private transac-
tion between the exhibitors and the agents has been
merely to suggest means for affording to foreign exhi-
tors the opportunity of availing themselves, if they might
see fit, of those arrangements which the Commissioners
believe would be found to be most convenient and
economical; it being distinctly understood that any cen-
tral authority or foreign exhibitor is perfectly free to
employ any other agent than those named, and to make
any other arrangements that may be deemed more con-
venient.
" The attention of the Commissioners having been
called to the question of fitting up the [
goods for exhibition, the Commissioners in London have
to state that they are willing to undertake to supply
counters upon which the goods may be displayed. But
exhibitors, or such commissioners or
representatives as may be duly authorised to act for
them, will be at perfect liberty to take charge of
fitting them up according to their taste with glass shades,
&c., at their own cost. It will be very desirable that
you should acquaint us at an early period with your in-
tentions with reference to this point; and also with the
views which you entertain of appointing authorised
agents here to be specially charged on your behalf with
the care and display of the goods transmitted under
your orders.

" The Commissioners trust that the arrangements, the
details of which are now submitted to you, will be satis-
factory, and that these will serve to show that they are
not insensible to the value of the exertions which you are
making to co-operate in this great Industrial Exhibition
of the Works of all Nations.

" We avail ourselves ot this opportunity to offer to you
the assurances of the high consideration and esteem with
which we have the honour to sign ourselves,
" sir, your most faithful st,rviints,
"J. SCOTT RUSSELL,
" STAFFORD IL NORTIICOTE."

EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY OF
ALL NATIONS, 1351.
The following is a copy of a letter addressed by her
Nlajesty's Commissioners to the various commissions ap-
pointed in foreign countries to promote the Exhi-
bition:--.

" Palace of Westminster, July 29.
" Sir,—We are hereby directed by her Majesty's
Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 to communi-
cate to you and the other Commissioners appointed by
the [ Government, the great satisfaction
with which they have received the intelligence of the
formation of your commission, and of the steps which
have been taken by it for the purpose of co-operating
with them and of properly representing the industry
of your country in the approaching Exhibition in
London.
" The Commissioners have themselves been anxiously
occupied in making preparations for the reception of
those valuable and interesting objects which you may
forward for exhibition and fur the erection of a suitable
building for their display; and also in making such
ether arrangements regarding medals, prizes, juries, and
the general e >nditions of the Exhibition, as seem most
likely to promote the objects of the friendly competition
in which so many great nations are now taking such deep
interest.
" The inclosed printed papers (Decisions of her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners) will sufficiently communicate to
you, for the information of [ ] exhibitors, the
nature of the arrangements that have been made for the
admission of foreign productions to the Exhibition; and
we are directed to call your attention especially to that
portion relating to the Custom-house arrangements.
" According to the regulations of the Board of Cus-
toms, it is necessary that the agents employed should
enter into bonds to secure the payment of the duties
assessed on the goods which are sent for exhibition,
should such goods be sold in this country after the Ex-
hibition is closed; but as all goods transmitted by the
same vessel, and consigned to one and the same agent,
will be covered by one bond, it would much facilitate
the arrangement for all parties, and diminish the ex-
pense, if the articles intended for exhibition were for-
warded by each central authority en masse, or at all
events in as few separate consignments as possible.
" Her Majesty's Commissioners, as you will perceive by
the accompanying papers, have nominated, on the recom-
mendation of the Commissioners of the Board of Cus-
toms, several persons as proper and responsible agents
to be employed for the port of London; all of whom
have stated their willingness to adopt a much lower
scale of charges than those usually required in ordinary
mercantile transactions for the services they may render,
and to furnish a statement of the proposed charges, so
far as they can be specified befotehand, to all parties
who may desire to know them.
" Of the agents named for the outports, Mr. Ormston,
of Newcastle, and Messrs. Ford and Canning, of Bristol,
have signified their intention of not making any charges
except those to which they may be personally subjected,
and the others purpose to charge less than the ordinary
rates.
