Extract from the Circular Of the Royal Commits

| "The Commissioners have felt that il would be
desirable, as far possible, to prevent anv per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than to reject the articles after
their arrival i'm London. They feel also thot the
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on The
admission or rejection of articles destined for e..
hibItion by foreign contributors ought not to be i'm
posed upon any English tribunal, but should be
referred to one lving the confidence of the exi i
bitors thens. YES, and standing entirely free from
possb" Quotations OF national partiahty. II ~
accc lnsy propose TO admit to exhibition 81, =,
foreign articles only a. may be forwarded to tn.
| by the Central Authority (whatever may be
| nature) in each country. They will comnuni, {
to such Central Authority the amount of So,
which can be allowed to the productions of
| county for which il acts, and will also state l.
conditions and limitations which may from .imt
TO time be decided on with respect to the admssiI
of articles. All articles forwarded by such C. =.
trail Authority will then be admitted, provided H. V
| do not require Il greater aggregate amour, -,
space than that assigned TO the productions OF he
country from which they come and, provide'
also, that they do not violate the conditions ara
limitations of which due notice shall have be =;
given. 1t will rest with the Central Authority
each country to decide upon the merits of
several articles presented for exhibition and
take care that those which are sent are such
fairly represent the industry of their fel!ow-cou,
| trymen.
I" Her Majesy's Commissioners will consider
that to be the Central Authority III each case hih
is stated to be so by the Government Of is coumiry
Having once been put in communication viii ,
Central Authority III any country, they must de
cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals and
should any such be addressed to them. thew g..
only refer to a central body. This decision -
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-
| fusion.
"No articles Of foreign manufacture. 10 whom.
soeyer they may belong, or wheresoeyer they M. y
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless tn, ,
come with the sanction of the Central Authority
Of the country of which they are the produce.
The Commissioners do not insist upon such nrti
cles being In all cases actually forwarded bv tn,
Central Authority, though they consider thai dis
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange
ment but it is indispensable that the sanction of
| such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that It be held responsible for the ut
ness Of such articles for exhibition, and for not
authorizing the exhibition of a greater ouantitv
than can be accommodated in the space assigned
| to the productions of the country in question:

thus land before the committee, and, on motion Of
the Hon, w. w. Seaton, it was
Resolved, That the Committee of We first CHARGED
