AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS TO THE WORLDS
FAR.-It i high time that our manufacturers and
artisans were preparing for the Great Exhibition
that will omen IN London next June. Americans
recolect with notification the sorry show Of our
manufactures products, and inventions that was
made in 1851, which was attributable much, il not
more to the miserable business arrangements OF our
Commissioners in the matter oil soliciting contribu-
iiCns from toe people than to any apathy which pre-
vailed. TIE Gaze, simply Haed, was that, either
through tie iucompet-ncy or ignorance Of the Amen-
can Commissioners the space demanded for the dis
play Of cur contributions in the Crystal Palace was
inodnatty IN excess Of the bulk OF articles sent
not that we could not have used it all ii proper ar
rangenants had been made, but because the whole
business was uismanagrj. No appropriations were
made 10 meet the eXpenses Of the Exhibition and
the Commissioner had even 10 borrow money to de-
fray tie cost 81 making counters and stalls, hitting mp
machinery and every other eXpcnse necessarily al

FROM MEXICO.

As for actual news IN Mexico, aside from excitA.
ment and its consequent speculstions there IL but
little of interest.
The Mexicaus were daily expecting the allied
heet at Vera Cruz and Tampico. The general feel.
ing throughout Mexico seemed to DO spirit of inex.
tinguishable hatred and defiance to Spain. All the
usual factions aud feuds among the Mexicans ap.
peared to be giving way to the sentiment Of HnitsS
resistance to their common enemy and their frequent
remark was that, if the Spaniards came alone, they
would be heartily welcomed.
No resistance, however, would be made at thesr.
ports; on the contrary, San Juan d Ulloa was being
dsmantled, and her guns taken inland. If any
Mexican symptoms can be trusted in such matters Q
most determined and probably successful opposition
viii be made to any Spanish invasion of their cOun-
try. The Spanish feet and army were met BY the
CLYDE within tbnty-six hours sail from Vera Cruz
having ahead of them remarkably fine wind and
sea for their sail and decentralization. The first de
vision Of the Spanish feet sailed for Mexico Nov 30,
from Havana, and the balance left Dec. ], as tho
Columbia was entering that harbor.

The weather continues delightful, and the atmos-

All military tactics omitted except the neces-
