AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Colonial Secretary's Office, R Wellington, 20th January, 1879. EFERRING to the notice published in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 36, of the 26th of April, 1878, relative to the Australian International Exhibition to be held in Sydney, New South Wales, in August, 1879, it is hereby further notified that the Government of New Zealand will be prepared to receive and to forward to Sydney any articles for exhibition which may be prepared by persons resident in this CoJony. A Royal Commission will be appointed immediately, who will prepare and publish j regulations under which they will receive exhibits for transmission. As articles for exhibition should be shipped from Wellington not later than June next, persons wishing to exhibit are invited to communicate with Dr Hector, the Chairman of the Royal Commission, without delay. All expenses of transmitting and exhibiting approved articles will be defrayed by the Government ; but, as experience has proved that in exhibitions of this kind the best effect is produced by a few well-displayed objects of considerable size, and as the space allowed to the Colony for exhibition will be limited, a careful selection will have to be made, so that the representation may be complete. The Collectors of Customs at the various ports have been instructed to receive exhibits, and to forward them to the Chairman of the Exhibition Commission at Wellington, by whom they will be collected and transmitted to Sydney ; but no exhibits can be received later than the 30th June, 1879. After the Exhibition is closed, the exhibits will be either returned to exhibitors free of expense, or sold or otherwise disposed of in Sydney, at the desire of the exhibitors, but the Government undertakes no responsibility for losb or damage, either in transit or during exhibition, or in regard to the price to be realized if sold, nor will they guarantee the safe remittance of the money.
