1.-THE Commissioners have feltthat il wonld h.
desirable, as far possible, 70 prevent any Der.
sons from sending hither Articles which cannon -
admitted rather than 70 reject the ARTICLES afser
their arrival in London. They lesi alap that he
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on the
admission Of rejection Of articles destined for ex-
hibition by foreign contributors oughtnot to be i'm.
posed upon any Fng1ish tribunal but anould Ia
referred to one living the confidence Of the exhi-
bitors theps..ves, and atandns entirely cree from
possib). -Oputations of national pareiality. Thew
acccr ..ngy propose 70 admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may be forwarded to them

The Commissioners do.not insist upon such art,.
cies being IN all cases actually forwarded by the
Central Authority, though they consider thai ~ :
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange,
ment; but It is Indispensable that the sanction OF
such authority should in all cases be exnress,v
given, and that it be held responsible for the e.
ness Of such articles for exhibition and for not
authorizing the exhibition of greater QUANTITY
than can be accommodated in the SIDE = aasio ed
