desirable, az far as possible, to prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which caianos b
admitted, rather than to reject the artices after
their arrival in London. They feel also that the
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on the
admission or rejection of articles destined for ex-
hibiiion by foreign contributors ought 10 be inn
posed upon any English tribunal, but should be
referred to one s'1ving the confidence Of the exh-
bitors therst.ves and standing entirely free from
possible .nputations Of national partially. They
acccr 'ngly propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may be forwarded 70 them
