NEW ZEALAND AT THE VIENNA EXHIBITION.

The special correspondent of the Argus at the Vienna Exhibition writes.-—

. New Zealand, on the opposite side—bow happy could Ibe with either—is full and overflowing, and the Government, like that of Victoria, has determined that the Colony ahall show everything that she has got to ahow. There is a great display of gold and minerals, the former being alluvial gold, of which there are some 25 trays from the various districts in the Thames field. The photographs here, too, are very beautiful, and form a large series taken by Mr. Mundy, and a smaller one of the Thames district, by Mr. Bishop. The water colors by Mr. Gully are really first-olass, and I fancy people here who are used to the Alps, being s* near them, area little surprised to find such magnificent snow mountains and glaciers as we see here. Perhaps the most valuable industry is shown here .on a considerable scale, viz., the Fhormium tenax, whioh we see in the leaf, in the fibre, in various bales of flax, in string, rope, netting, woolbaga, oanvas, cloths, damasks, and towellings, giving altogether a capital impression of what may be done with waste material by continual hammering at it. This series js exhibited by Mr. Thome, of London, the different goods having been manufactured iia Scotland; at Arbroath and Dundee. There is also a good collection of woods, and tyro or, threj tables made of these woods, which certainly are remarkably beautiful in cabinet work. ' An inlaid table, in the panels of which we see the moa as it used to be, is asi pretty a piece of-workmanship as can well be seen, and I regret that I have forgotten the name of the clever designer. The moa^ by the way, is coming inpropria persona, accompanied by the dinoris, and is being built up under Professor Hochstetter's direction. His footstep is already here—a cast of sandstone from Poverty Bay—and a very interesting fossil it is. The food department is rather strong in New Zealand, and there are battalions of meats, hams, cheeses, and a whole cask of beer, which, after the shaking it has had, I would rather not be the one to drink. The wools, in bulk, are not equal to Victorian, but Messrs. Marcroft and Myers send a series of samples on cardboard, which for fineness and silkineia exceed anything I have ever seen. The Maori is well represented in the way of pigeon robes, kaka dresses, and emu oioaks, and there are some interesting collections of native seeds and leaves —kauri gujns—besides any number of iro^ 0.r.e.8 flnd.
