Of January, 1850, in the thirteenth year of our
reign. BY her Majesty's command, q. GREY.
BOARD or TRADE, January Is, 1850.
Sill am directed by the commissioners APP
pointed by her majesty for the promotion OF the
exhibition Of the works Of industry OF all nations,
to be holden i'll the year lSol TO request that you
will move tiscount Pamers.on TO communicate
the fact Of the appointment Of the commission TO
all foreign powers at amiiy with her majesty, and
TO acquaint them that the exhibition Will take place
IN London IN the early part OF the year 1901, and
that the commissioners are anxious to be put in
communication with such persons or bodies in each
nation from which articles are likely TO be sent for
exhibition, are considered likely to command
the confidence Of those who may become exhibit
ors. The commissioners will have to consider
many questions bearing upon the admission OF
foreign productions, and some OF those questions
will be Of a nature that will make it necess ary for
them to ascertain the views entertained in different
countries, before deciding upon them. They wish
therefore to have a proper channel of comnunica-
ton with each country, and they request that Lord
Palmerston will take such steps as he may think
proper for supplying this necessity.
The exhibition will be divided into four sections:
l. Raw materials and produce illustrative Of the
natural productions on which human industry is
employed.
e. Machinery, for agricultural, manufacturing,
engineering aud other purposes, and mechanical
inventions, illustrative of the agents which human
ingenuity brings to bear upon the productions of
nature.
g. Manufactures, illustrative of the results pro-
duced by the operation Of human industry upon
natural productions.
4. Sculpture, models, and the plastic enc
rally illustrative Of the taste and skill disp rd in
such application OF human industry.
The commissioners are engaged in endea lring
TO ascertain the amount OF space which will Dee re-
qured for the display Of these articles, for which
purpose they will of course require some kind of
estimate Of the quantities of each which likely
to be sent from different countries. This will be
one of the first points on which they will seek in
formation when placed in communication with the
proper parties. They will also have to make in
quirles in order TO guide them in determining what
prizes should Le given, for what articles, and under
what conditions. This, too, is matter which will
involve the necessity of foreign correspondence.
Moreover, they win need channel for communi-
s~ss~e 90 fsre;rn sssvy may
from time to time adopt for the conduct of the exhi-
bon such, for instance, as may relate 10 the ex-
cusion OF particular classes Of articles account
Of their size, the impossibty Of preserving them
or other reasons, or to the time at which articles
| intended for exhibition must be sent or TO the
| terms on which they will be admitted
IL s unnecessary TO 90 more into detail upon tina
present occasion, Lord Palmerston will perceive
from what has been already said, that so soon as
| proper channels of correspondence have been
opened, the commissioners will have many matters
Ia which TO draw the attention Of the foreign coun-
tries which are likely 10 take an interest in the un-
deraking and | am only TO add, in conclusion,
that IL is Of much importance that time should
be lost in making these communications, as there
are several points on which early information is
| particularly necessary for the commissioners
have the honor to be- sir.
Your most obd't servant,
STAFFORD III. NoRrHcoTE.
