guidance of foreign exhibitors; and have been
instructed 10 request the United States Government
10 communicate a copy of this memorandum to the
Central Commission which may have been APP
pointed to act on behalf Of those persons in the Uni
ted States who wish to become exhibitors, and to
inform thatcommission that her Majesty's Commits
soners have settled the amount of space which may
be assigned to the productions of each country in
the building which is TO be erected for the cxhbi-
ton in Hyde Park, and that they have allotted TO
the productions Of the United States eighty thou
sand square feet.
l am also instructed to request that the United
States Central Commission may be informed that
about half of the gross space so allotted to the
United States will be required to be given up to
passages and other purposes; and am to state
that, it will be necessary that her Majesty's

EXHIBITION or INDUSTRY OF ALL Ma
TONS, TO BE HELD IN LONDON IN 1851.

HER MAJEsTY's eoMAfssIoNERs for the promo.
ton Of the EXHIBITION or THE WoRKs OF INDUSTRY
OF ALL NATIoss, TO be holden in 1851, having had
the various subjects Of their inquiry under their
Sious consideration, now prepared 10 state,
for the information Of the public the progress they
have made IN determining the different points
referred 10 in their announcement Of the llth Jan
uary last.
The decisions they have been able 10 come 30
have been necessarily limited by their present want
Of knowledge as 10 what pecuniary means will be
placed at their disposal and the shortncss Of the
time during which this vast organization will have
to be completed renders il imperative upon the
Commissioners 70 make earnest appeal 10 the
country, TO enable them, soon AZ possible, 10
know upon what amount Of subscriptions they may
ultimately rely
The scale upon which this important undertak.
ing will be conducted must depend entirely the
amount Of pecunisry support which IL shall receive
from the public. Her Majesty Commissioners
appeal with confidence to all classes Of the commu-
nifty, 10 enable them 10 make such liberal arrange
ments IA will ensure the success Of this undertak-
ing, in manner worthy Of the character and posi-
ton OF this country and Of the invitation which has
been given TO the other nations Of the world 10
compete with us in spirit Of generous and friendly
emulation.
The Commissioners have fixed upon the lst day
Of May, 1851, for opening the Exhibition.
The Commissioners will be prepared TO receive
and take care Of, at the expense Of the Commis
sioners all articles which may be sent 70 them and
delivered at place 10 be named by the Commis-
sOners in London, on after the lst Of January
1851 and will continue TO receive goods until the
Let Of March, inclusive after which day further
goods will be received.
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased TO grant
site for this purpose on the south side Of Hyde
Park, lying between the Kensington Drive and the
Ride, commonly called Rotten Row.
From the approximate estimate which the Com
missioners have been able 10 make, they believe
that the building ought 10 cover a space Of from
sixteen TO twenty acres, or about ono million Of
square feet
The productions Of all nations will be exhibited
together, under one general classification.
The articles exhibited will be divided into four
sections, before announced, and a classified list,
together with general instructions affecting each
department, IL appended Her Majesty's Com
rnissoners wish 20 express their grateful sense OF
the valuable assistance which they have received in
drawing up that list from the members Of the sec
tiOnsl committees.
The building will he provided to- the exhibitors
/ free from rent, and will be fire proof
Exhibitors will be required 70 deliver their OBJ
ects, at their charge and risk at the building
| IN the Park; but no charges Of any kind will be
made whilst they remain there.
