LONOOK.—Thk exposition, which took place at Bingley
House, Birmingham, in October last, and was visited by
Prince Albert, the Duchess of Sutherland, and other leaders
of rank, attracted earnest attention from the great progress
in metals,, statuary, porcelain, stoves, candelabras, and pro-

pleasure. we'learn that the greater part, if not the whole, of
this unique gatherinr, is about to be transferred to London,
and ,that
piemises of large extent have been purposely re-
built and arranged for their reception, at the corner of Iron-
monger-lane and Ctreapside, by the Messrs. Benetfink and
Jones, to whose management these interesting proofs of the
ability of the British artizan will be entrusted.—oburver.
NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—An estimate of the Annual
expense of collecting the stamp duty on newspapers has

attendant expenses makes the total annual cost 6,1691.28.3 d.
The number of persona employed on this duty in Edin-

the City Members ; the Lord Mayor returned thanks
for the health of the Lady Mayoress ; the Solicitor-
General for the Irish bar; and after some further
toasts the company retired.
