FO1 elgn and Domestic Commlssioners-De-
script,on OF Articles.
The interest Of the Crystal Palace, as we expected
is increasing every day with the arrival of new
articles for exhibition. A large number Of the
stands which but few days ago were entirely blank
are now completely occupied Articles valued d
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars each are displayed
in the most avish profnsion. Here, but few fee
apart are the most costly silver ware and the more
useful, but less ornamental implements Of industry
In one case, hundreds Of exquisite walking canes
attract the attention o, the spectator, while few
steps farther on he wiz find in some less conspicuous
position, modest ard unprstendng display OF
axes spades and other articles Of the kind of more
| intrinsic worth. There is nothing which viii per
haps strike the vister with more force, than
| the contrast presented il the Kind and quality
of the goods exhibited by different nations.
Italy may be known by the statuary and other
works If art which she displays, France b,
her splendid cases Of surgical Instruments which
unrivalled for quality and beauty Of finish the
United States for articles Of utlitarian character
Switzerland by'her prouson and variety of watches,
and ingenious devices in jewelry and other nations
by their different, peculiar, and principal produc
sorry display and Spain, Portugal, Greece, Russia,
and few other nations, are not represented. We
sorry for this as should like to have seen the
map of Europe perfect, although the geographical
arrangement Of nature is set at defiance in the loca
| ton Of the different countries.
The machine arcade, when completed, will be fur
nished with engines Of sixty horse power each. One
of these, a beam engine has been made in the works
i of uolli NiUbf; nd fba rtb 10
double engine, operating a fly Wheel is from
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, This will give motive
force of one hundred and twenty horse power which
con, if necessary be increased to one hundred and
fifty. These engines will be put their founda-
| tions some time next week, but it will be two OF
three weeks before the various connections with the
| different machines can be perfected.
The list Of commissioners, we are informed is not
| yet completed, although each State is represented
by one or more. While Alabama, for instance, has
two and Connecticut but three, Louisiana has seven
teen and South Carolina seventeen. The duties of
| some of the commissioners cannot be very arduous
where there is SO large number to take charge of
| the interests of one State However, we say, the
more the merrier;" and if South Carolina sends
more commissioners than she does articles, we sup
pose, she has right to do so. If two heads are
i
that seventeen must be better than two. The follow
ing are the names of the foreign and domestic CON-
missoners so far they have been registered the
books of the association. There are large number
who have not yet been officially reported entered;
and may be by reference to the list, not more
| than two. thirds of the States are represented
