The Collins Plate at the Exhibition.
The London Express, of the 10th uls., says:-A
great novelty was Exhibited in the America an sec
ton, the conductors Of which, folle wing the
pie Of Sweden, seem determined to make up at the
close Of the Exhibition their remissness in sending
goods at the beginning. In the front of the coun-
ter upon which stands Mr.. Hobbs's onierful lock,
there appeared, for the first time yesterday, large
glass case, containing magnificent tea-service Of
gold plate, testimonial from the citizens of New
York to Mr.. Collins, the founder of the A merican
steampacket line. The service, which is stated to
be of pure geld, without alloy, consists of large
teakettle, teapot, cream ever and sugar basin, all
arranged on a large salver Of the same precious
metal, which were made by Messrs. Ball, Black <
Co, Of New York. The whole service is made Of
California gold, q carats fine, and contains ad-
mixture Of any other metal. This, which is the
most zular TACT Of the descrp ion, is accounted
for By the fact that Californian gold, besides being
finer, is more malieable than gold from any other
Of the aurferous regions Of the EARTH aud therefore
has to be worked without any admixture Of silver
or copper. The designs and workmanship are also
very beautiful, and were much commended by the
numerous visiters who crowded round the casa dur
ing the day. The custom house valuation Of this
costly tea service is sfl 900.
