BUYING OUT THE LONDON EXHIBITION,
The expediency of holding the great
Worlds Fair in London, has been de-
bated in the British Parliament, where
some of the antiquarians urged that so
large an influx of foreign manufactures,
Sc., would have tendency TO glut the
market, and act prejudicial to British in,
terests. the subject, it appears, has
been broached elsewhere in that coun-
try, and late English paper states that
at meeting held in London on this sub.
ject, Mr. Golden stated in reply to an
objection against "glutting the Market"
in England by the introduction of so
many manufactured commodities, that he
would disclose secret that he thought
would dissipate any alarm that might be
entertained atout glut of the market,
There was, he said, project set on foot
in the United States for purchasing the
exhibition bodily, when it was finished in
this country, and carrying it over to A
merica-(loud laughter aud cheers.) If
such project had originated elsewhere
he would, have laughed at it as chimeri-
call but knowing that the parties were
men of high respectablity and large cap

and New York, he had 20 doubt that i
would also prove a right good speculu
