Leaving the dviAiop devoted To the Unhnd

collection Of machinery and manufactures, ofthe
most varied description, presents q Thousand OBJ

scarcely complete but, to compensate for this,
Austria also, on the north and south sides, ex-

extensive region of France, which, when com

taste and skill Of the great country. Switxsr-
land and Brazil with Italy and Spain on tho
north, succeed, and are followed by Greece, Per-
STA, Egypt, and Turkey. The unfortunate de-
lay in the arrival OF the Turkish steamer, with
their objects, renders their division incomplete;
but the space abutting upon the Gansspt having
been appropriated to The foreign ambassadors,

south you then arrive at a square devoted TO
Canada, the West indies and the Anstnin colo

in the British empire are ali admirably iilustss-

the raw materials, afford abundant scope for
study, both to the merchant and the philosoph.r I.
A beautiful little square of medieval treasures

What agricultural implements occupy the whole
remaining length Of the extreme south, PAPER

the extreme north; the front Of the south side
being devoted to Birmingham goods, furniture,
Sheffield goods, woollen and mixed fabf les, AJAX
from Ireland, and printed fabrics Of Manchester,
London, and Glasgow.
The front of the north corresponding side
presents succession of departments, with car
rages, some of them of the most exquisite con-
structon, mineral manufactures, and marine en-
gines, fanked on the front with paper goods,
furniture, furs, leather, and cotton. We have
now arrived at the west end, where crowds are
seen surrounding the model of Liverpool, which
is at this spot in the nave. On the outside of
the building are statues, columns specimens Of
COAL obelisks, and vast variety Of architectural
and building processes, with detached build

and spacious quadraDgular courts are cut out of

the whole, the exhibition is successful to the
highest point of any conception which may have
been formed of it. Everything is well chosen,

my admiration of the excellent arrangements

Quoted this part of the executive with great
courtesy and attention The men composing
the corps of sappers and mixers, who have been
employed in arranging the articles, were almost
the only persons who could direct me where to
find what wanted bnt their attention and civ
ty deserve notice. II is computed that ESQ.,
600 were received by the sale of the season
tickets, which, added to the sums subscribed,
will make about fl3O 900. The cost of the
executive will be, it is said, about f200,00O, at
least. There is scarce doubt bnt that sufficient
ful DIS will be raised to make it entirely self-sup-
porting.
