! The undersigned, Sab Committee Of Ar
rangements for the contemplated Far, take
this occasion TO inform the Manufacturers and
artisans Of the country al large that the ample
Building designed for lis accommodation, and
now in progress of erection, will be snbstanti-
ally completed by the fifth day Of Mny--at
which time, and subsequent thereto. until the
Exhibition is opened, all articles OF maaiyac-
ture and specimens OF Mechanic art, intended

ton Of this Committee-careiully protected,
and properly arranged.
As announced by the General Committee,
in their late circular TO the public, the exhlbI-
ton will be opened on Wednesday May Doth
and to prevent Inconvenience and confusion
from a vast accumulation Of samples immedi-
atelv previous, and to insure the best arrange
ment Of every thing that may be prescuted--it
! is urged as very important, that . considerable
proportion Of all samples and specimens,
which are designed to be Offered. shall be so
forwarded as to reach Washington, directly, or
very soon after the 9Th Of May.
The earliest information is desired from the
ipreators or rroprietors Of any machines, pro
posed to be putup and operated by mo'iDe po,c-
en-. during the continuance OF the exhibition

purpose.
The committee would respectfully suggest,
that they desire ample samples. instead Of heavy
and cumbrous packages OF the different des-
criptions and styles Of goods-the same 10 be
carefully put up, and marked or labelled with
the naIqes and residence Of owners, with their
current value. Thus, from fire to ten ordinary
sized pieces Of each variety ofbro'oa or bleach
ed cottons, is deemed sufficient; Cdticoes, and
every description OF. printed goods; Woolteas,
of every character and grade, as well as other
articles Of mechanical skill, to be similarly ar
ranged-and then, for better security, and the
convenience of transportation, placed in larger
packages being regarded primary object,
to present the greater variety Of products.
without inconyenienty overlooking the rooms
Of exhibition.
All packages should be marked ".Naiioqal

as cannot DO this with convenience. and have
no agents through whom 10 forward them, may
direct their communications and packages TO

viii give them the required despatch.

portaton Of goods, and postage of letters, viii
be betrayed by the parties forwarding the

dance Of purchasers win take place at the
