LONDON, SATURDAY, VOVEMBER 2, 1850.

• Among the many admirable arrangements made
with a view to perfect next year's Exhibition, one has
only very recently been announced, which promises
to complete the excellence of its character. It is
pioposed by a clergyman of the Church of England
to give a prize or prizes, amounting in all to one hun-
dred guineas, for the ablest essaypressays on the sub-
j oioed argument :—" In what manner the Union of
Nation 3 at tha Grand Exhibition in 1851 may be
rendered the most-conduelvo to•the glory of Cron in
promoting the moral welfare of mankind." A sug-
gestion mere munificently in accordance with
the intentions of the illustrious originator
of the Whole enterprise could scarcely have
been devised, and 'hence we are in no degree asto-
nished to find that the.proposal has met with the cor-
dial and immediate approbation of his Royal high-
ness. By Carrying the notion into effect, its generous
author will be mast effectually forwarding those
philanthropic:principles which are the best anodynes
for the ills of mortality, and the best talismans of
. .d
.
moern ci4ilisation. We look forward, consequently,
to the result a tne- proposition with a confidence in
its ultimately , proving in the largest sense of the
word beneficial—beneficial not only to the competitors
for the proffered guerdon, but likewise and in a
particular manner to the general public, in whose
bands will be placed the result of the competition.
A. nobler or more suggestive theme could scarcely have
been selected for philosophical discussion, or one
which, if properly debated, could prove more hu-
manising in its tendency. Such projects as these, to
eur thinking, present a striking contrast to the idle
and preposterous „schemes of those pacific Quixotes
who are for bringing about the union of mankind
by preaching the impracticable doctrines of arbitra-
tion. Instead of adventuring upon any such frivolous
undertakings, the competition for the prize essay on
the Exhibition would be arguing on solid grounds
for the universal amelioration of the community.
tinder the guidance of the Commissioners we feel
satisfied that the ideas broached in this manner by
the clergymen referred to will be carried into effect
the most judicious regard to the required
arrancments.

Another subject for congratulation in reference to
ear of Exposition, is a sense that,
the approaching y
generally speaking, the preparations have even now
been commenced, so that no hurry or carelessness will
be manifested in the proceedings of her MASESTY'S
Commissioners. Neither for that reason can there be
any of those unseemly omissions which must other-
wise have marred the various regulations and hare
reflected discredit upon the community. By the ale.
plication of one common energy to the building up of
the Crystal Palace, that extraordinary edifice has
already far advanced torauds 5.a; completion, so that
a comparatively short time longer will witnees its
rapid decoration. Prom 371 these coneiderations, it
must be manifest that the didieultiee so long said to
present insurmountableas trections to the carrying out
