TIE WORLDS INDUSTRIAL
EXHIBITION.

Of ,hi. Exhibition. which is 10 Lc held
in London next spring
We are very glad 70 find that the
grea, Industrial Exhibition which is to
lie held here in 1851 cxci,es 50 much
attention in the United States, as. from
the notices Of it in your newspapers,
we find 10 be the case. Mr. Lawrence 5
admirable letter TO the American lnsii.
iu,e, and the Circular in reply, signed
10y the Trustees and Officers Of that
Association. give great satisfaction here.
The Royal Commissioners state that
they shall award a space Of t~o acres
for the display Of American produce
and manufactures.
We have 10 doubt that our fellow
citizens will cause ihn, surplus TO be
well covered with the natural and ar'i-
fetal productions Of their country. Il
begins TO be time, however, for some or
ganized and well arranged concentration
Of action 10 be commenced The Com
missioners have also declared that the
judges or jurics TO whom is to be depu.
ted the duty Of deciding upon the mer-
its of the different articles exhibited,
and awarding the prizes Of honors con-
sequent TO such merit, shall be selected
from all nations and people taking part
in such exhibition, and not from the
English exhibitors only, as was feared
might be the case. This decision has
given great satisfaction. 1t has been
thought that the articles exhibited from
the United States might advantageous
ly be classed under three heads. and
the space allotted for their exhibition
will afford room for such classifica-
ton This arrangement has the appro-
baton of Mr.. Lawrence and other A.
merican friends to the Exhibition in
London.
l. A classified and geographical ar
rangement Of all valuable raw materi
ais, either produced from the interior o.
the earth, or raised by cultivation from
its surface comprehending NIL miner
ais and metals, marbles, building stones
&c. all varieties of cereal and othel
agricultural products, including cotton
rice, tobacco, the sugar cane, &c.
specimens of the wood Of the various
timber trees, and of ornamental wOOt
for cabinet ware the leaves and acorn
Of your numerous oaks wool, silk. boil
in cocoons and in its developed shap'
in the skein, flax, hemp, &c.
These things, and others which w
have not space to enumera;e, would
show our European breathren that, 81
far rs respects raw materials of nearl.
every description for manufacturin!
purposes, beadstufs, ard building mate
rials, the United States have, some
where or other, within their extensiv
territory supply unlimited in quaint
ty. and generally superior in quality.
2. Mechanical inventions and ma
chinery. models, &c, of every descriT
ton. and for every purpose. We thin
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timorc, and Pit,sburg could produc
working models and modes and plan
which would elicit the admiration of tn
best judges in Europe. In agricul'u1
al implements we could show the moil
cr country many improvements. W
need fear no rivals in our locomotiy
engines, cooking stoves, or printin
presses, our planning, and tongucing, an
o,ing machines, our fire engines, a.
And we could show them models of OF
, Nantucket and Northern schooner, ou
New York pilot boats, our Baltlmol
clippers, and our North River, an
Ohio, and Mississippi steamers, whic
elicit great admiration. This is almo
boundless department. The abo'
must suffice.
3. Manufactured articles Of cotto
linen, wool, and silk 1; sugar, salt, win
oil, &c. bricks, lime, and ccment'
,, hats, saddlery, leather, glass, hardwar
carpenters tools, &c. The beau,if
u articles produced some ycras ago
: the Springfield manufac,ory Of MessI
Ames 4 Co. have never been excell'
c by anything we have seen in Europ
: Here again the field is most ample.
u We have no fear that you will n
II be up and doing but again we say,
6 is high time that something like co
: certed and concentrated mode of acti'
i was agreed upon. We have said not
ing about works Of art, but we are su
4; that the beautiful cabinets Of our Mort
e ern cities, and the piano fortes OF Bt
u ton, New York, &c, would be objec
d Of great interest and admiration to Il
J. great assemblage Of produce and pc
pie. We want also the men and "
men Of the United States to meet thu
II brethren not only Of England. but
J. Europe, to cultivate kind feelings, TO ]
is prove each others condition, moral
IS socially and politically, and to form
d Peace Congress upon the wide Pla'fo'
a of united industry and benevolent
