Certain rttoms were .11.irnisbed exolnsively by different
tradesmen took this method of exhibiting, their
wares, and we believe allowed on their sales a very gene-
rous commission of about 30 per cent. for the benefit of
the asylum. Messrs. Pannell, of Cable-street, thus occu-
pied one apartment with fancy stationery ; and Mr.
Ahlborn, of Whitechapel, another, with a choice collec-
tion of toys, fancy articles, said Perfumery. A room was
also set apart for the exhibition. of lithographic .speci-
mens; and Mr. Dixon, of...WAliamson-square, delighted
with a choice display of crystal and stained glass. Mr.
'Mather, of Williamson-square, had on view a small but
choice ornithological and enthological museum (he has,
we believe, the finest private collection of natural history
in the country); and Messrs. Pooley and Son exhibited
several of their new and ingenimis weighing-machines.

Then there wereelsewhere marine model's in profusion,
amonget.them being a curiosity of a sehooner made ii the
shape of a cuttlefish, with sails hoisted where the fins
should be, and which, we have no doubt, from its pecu-
liar construction,. would sail quickly and well.

In one apartinent was show7n a Magnificent carved side-
board, from tbe.Dnblin Exhibition, which is to be raffled
.for, 120 members at a guinea each. Then there was a
room with tapestry work, another with sportingpictures, a
third with 'reological-specimens, a bust room, model forts
