RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MAT 23.—THE GREAT Ex-
HIBITION OF 1851.—The committee for the London
exhibition has informed the corresponding committee
in St. Petersburgh that the space assigned to the
exhibition of Russian product is 10,000 square feet,
including the passages, whereby the space for the
articles exhibited, will not exceed half that extent.
The St. Petersburgh committee, therefore, desire that
only such articles be sent which have already ob-
tained a great fame, and in such quantity
as shall suffice to show the quality of the
product which, continues the committee, will
probably be all specimens of agricultural produce.
The time for sending the articles to St. Petersburgh,
where they will be subject to the strict scrutiny of
the home committee, begins on the 13th of July next,
and closes on the 13th of September. The time fixed
for receiving them in London is from Jan. 1 to March
1, 1851, a season when the Russian navigation b
not open, in consequence of which all articles from
hence must be dispatched from Russia in the autumn
of 1850. All articles selected by the committee will
be sent to London at the expense of the Crown, and
will there be placed under the special charge of the
agent of the Minister of Finance, who will be in
London, and who will be responsible for the return
of such articles as shall remain unsold.
