men, and among the metals, zinc are enumerated
In chemical products, M. Dupin mentions the
oxydes and acids, alkais and salts with which the
commerce of France supplies the world" Ultra
marine among coors, and the mpalpabe powders
into which French chemical science has succeeded
in reducing dyeing and other substances are re-
commended to be sent. The perfumes in which
" French skill has preserved the natural aroma
from the plants and flowers of the Alps and the
.Pyrenees, and of which the United States after
England, is the greatest consumer" The extract
of quinine and its sulphates fancy soaps and cam
dies prepared from the stearine acid CLUES and
gelanes are enumerated as fit articles for exhibi-
ton; and manufactures of tobacco, of artificial por-
phyry, and of porcelain, superior glass manufac-
lures, and mirrors polished by an improved process,
glass colored by new chemical process, and
glass manufactured with zinc instead of lead,
which gives promise of increased refractive power
to our lenses for optical and astronomical instru-
ments." These are the leading articles enume-
rated in the first part of M. Dupns communica-
ton, and we have thus detailed them at length, in
order that our transatlantic friends NAV know what
France is preparing to do, and that they, estimating
their greater distance, and the necessity for earlier
preparation, may be up and doing also. AT WEN
MA, measures are taken to send forward the best
products Of Austrian skill. The commission ap-
pointed by the Government to attend to the subject
has encouraged the people, and Austria and Bohe-
mia will exhibit all the excellence their skill can
command. Returns are pouring in daily from al
most every part of the United Kingdom and the
colonies. The Commissioners are sitting almost
continually, and every exertion appears TO be max
ing, by every body, to give full effect to this great
undertaking. Our daily papers have taken up the
subject The Morning Chronicle gives columns
of information every morning in three languages,
and the Daily News deyotes much space to spread
every thing relating to the exhibition before the
public. Meanwhile extensive preparations are
making in other departments. The vast number of
yisiters expected in London will cause great in
creased consumption of articles of food, and so
large an extra quantity of malt liquors has been
brewed in London as has materially assisted in
keeping up the price of hops. We shall have
succession of three great World Exhibitions. In
addition to the London one to be held 1851, and
the projected one at New York in 1852, there
will be great French Exhibition in Paris in 1854.
These will be truly the peace and progress Con-
crosses. They will be stronger practical, not theo-
retical, illustrations of the folly and brutality of
war, than any thing else which could possibly be
devised. They will make the people wise; and
Cowper says,
"War is game which, were the people wise,
Kings could not play at"
We are very anxious about two things in relation
to this London Exhibition. One is the establish
ment of an American clubhouse in London, where
register should be kept Of all Americans in Lon
don, and their residence whilst there; where Ame-
rican newspapers might be filed and read, and let
ters written and received; where friendly and busi
ness appointments might be made and held, and
where that acceptable intercourse may be enjoyed
which is always so agreeable to strangers in fo-
reign country. Our other desire is, that some de-
scription of reunions or soirees may be arranged,
in which Americans and Englshmen may meet
and converse with each other, and know each other
better; being well assured that with increased
knowledge would come increased regard and esteem.
We do not doubt that these things will be attended
| to; we consider them important.
