and individuals in this country and sanction the
forw arding OF articles applicable TO the exhibition.
need hardly say to you, sir, that the proceedings
of the National Institutes forth in this correspo-
denee, meet the appreciation OF the Department which
has full confidence in the committee named by that
Institute. ."' --" . . Ok - vt
avail myself OF this opportunity to renew to you
the assurance OF my high and distinguished con
sideraton. JOHN NJ. CLAYTON.
Right Honorable Sir IL. l.. BuLa Err, SC.
Extract from The Circular Of The Royal Commits
siOners.-
.'The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable as far as possible, to prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannon he
admitted, rather than to reject the articles after
their arrival in London. They feel also thai the
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on the
admission rejection of articles destined for ex.
hibtion by foreign contributors ought not to be in-
posed upon any English tribunal, but should be
referred to iving the confidence of the exhi-
btors thers YES, and standing entirely free from
possible Quotations of national Partially. They
accc .ngly propose 10 admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority (whaterer may he its
nature) in each country. They will communicate
TO such Central Authority the amount of space
which can be allowed to the productions Of the
country for which II acts, and will also state the
conditions and limitations which may from time
to time he decided on with respect to the admission
of articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen
trail Authority VIII then be admitted, provided they
do not require greater aggregate amount of
space than that assigned to the productions of the
country from which they come and, provided,
also, that they do not violate the conditions and
limitations of which due notice shall have been
given. II will rest with the Central Authority in
each country to decide upon the merits of the
several articles presented for exhibition. and 10
take care that those which are sent are such as
fairly represent the industry of their fellow-coun
trymen.
Her Majesty's Commissioners will consider
that to be the Central Authority in each case phieh
IS stated 10 be so BY The Government Of its counirV
Having once been put In communication with a
Central Authority in any country, they must de
cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals and.
should any such be addressed to them, they can
only refer to u central body. This decision is
essentially necessary, IN order to prevent con-
fusion.
No articles Of foreign manufacture, to whom
soever they may belong, or wheresoever thew NAV
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they
come with the sanction of the Central Authority
OF the country of which they are the produce.
The Commissioners do not insist upon such orti
cles being in all cases actually forwarded by the
Central Authority, though they consider that this
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange
ment but il is indispensable that the sanction Of
such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that it be held responsible for The g.;
ness Of such articles for exhibition, and for not
authorizing the exhibition of greater quantity
than can be accommodated in the space assigned
to the productions of the country in question:"

thus laid before the committee, and, on motion If.

THE THIRD ANNUAL VOLUME
OF THE
SOUTHERN LII ERARY GAZETTE.

1880, under It's original name-instead of Richards

character, 1t beng the only weekly organ OF Litera
ture III the entire South! 1t is
Greatly Enlarged and Improved,
Containing weekly Thirty-two Columns O,
matter 1t is, moreover, IN all
Entirely .Ne,o Dress

paper, so that, III mechanical excellence it is no,
surpassed by any paper whatever in the United
States! 1t continues under the same Editorial
direction as heretofore, and no pains or EXPENSE
will be spared to make it
a Choice Family Newspaper,
las cheap as the cheapest, and as GOOD as the
BEST Utterly discardlng the notion that a
Southern Journal cannot compete with the North

The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the pest or them IN all the characteristics OF
a truly valuable Preside Journal. It's aim is the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste throuo;,-t
the community-and it embraces in its 9m,le
folds ever species Of intelligence that can tend to
this result
Original Contributions,
from many of the abest writers in the South
chiehy occupy Its columns, but not to the exc!u-
sion or choice miscellany, selected from the best
American and European sources
The tone or the Gazette" is independent -,
criticism and in the discussion OF every legitimate
topic, but 1t is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion
Its columns are occasionally enlbelshed with
Southern Portraits and Lor'dscapes,
engraved expressly for the work, and accomna-
MED by biographical and typographical sketches.
It's General Information
is coplous, but carefully condensed from the
leading Journals OF all parts of the world
Notwithstanding the great increase in the size
and attractions ofthe paper, it is still published at
THO Dollars Per .4nnum, in .9drance!
