We have lately seen III PRINT statement
that up 10 a very recent date, but two ar
ticles designed for the London Industrial
Exhibition of 1851, has been deposited al
the government store house III BROOKLYN,
designed for the reception and storage Of
such articles. This may be literally true,
but it is calculated TO produce an incorrect
impression.
The Central Committee of the National
institute have been in correspondence for
6 months past with committees and agents
appointed by the Governors of all the
States Of the Union, respecting the CON
tributions proposed to be mace by their
respective States TO the great fair. 1t is
certain that every State OF the confederacy
will send numerous specimens OF its natu-
raj productions, or Of the skill and industry
of its Inhabitants
Already the Central Committee have
official inlormali0n from these local agen-
cies, that seventeen States have despatched
a portion of the articles, which they desire
forwarded to London, 10 place on the sea
board the most convenient for shipment TO
New York. We have looked over a list
OF one hundred and eighty of these ob :
iects of curiosity and interest. OF these.
New York furnishes 81; Pennsylvania

improved agricultural implements hold Il
prominent place on The list. Nothing

States are probably second 10 bat one ma
lion in the world, and perhaps they are
the first. From New FORK, Pennsy va
MIA, and Illinois, " t have rcaping machines,
which, with the assistance of TWO or iOur
horses, and two men OF boys, will perform
the work of twenty men, and with ma

States. we have numerous varieties OF the
plough, from which IL is believed the hus-
bandmen of our mother land may take
useful lessons IN The great science of turn
ing up the soil; machines for sowing and
planting grain, maize and escnlent roots;
and noticeable Improvements upon former
instruments for performing the various
processes required TO prepare those pro-

Truly this IS practicable and sensible.
What is the meaning of that phaeton
carriage of South Carolina? Phaeton
would ride n'the chariot of the sun, and
guide the coursers which no mortal hand

Is there net some aliegorical sign ticdnce

Charleston to the London Fair. Have
industry and patient labor taken the reins

10 go upon his travels? Mississippi sends
cotton, and Tennessee the same, with
labor saving machines for producing that
which contributes at least as much TO her
