TTIS Excellency Sir Charles Darling bavlngbeon XX pleased to issueacommisßion,authorisingthe above-named persons to take the necessary Btepe for managing and conducting an international exhibi l ion, to b« held iv Melbourne, the Honorahle the Chief Seoretary of Victoria addressed himself to the Governments of the various dep'm'enoie) of the Crown in Austtalasia, inviting their cordial co-operation. •Highly encouraging replies have been received : these convey a well-founded assurance that the project of insti uiing a series of exhibitions of natural products, general induatrios and art, to be held in succession in the several Australasian colonies, has boen accepted, in aspirit whioh acknowledges the truth of the proposition — that such exhibition! would "prove of publio advantage alike to all." , The Commissioners are wnsoiouv, however, (hat it is not sufficient to rely eolely on (he good intentions and proffered support of the respective Governments. They deem it right to >rpwj to the publio spirit of the different communities. They have now the honor, therefore, to invoke the earnest asaidtance of \ leir fellow subjects, not only of those who dwell in yiotoria, but of those also resident in tb« other British colonies in thene sea*, to aid them in the furtherance of the design, and they do co with the oon'fiden expectation that the appeal will be considered worthy of a generous encouragement. The Commissioners do not propose to demon at' ate by labored arguments the benefits whioh must nriA; almost unbidden from a compreueneive. well direoted organisation, for suoh a purpose, to the inhabitants of these regions, so favored by Divine Providence — those beneGts are self apparent They desire, however, to impreM upon all thoughtful and energetic persons the necessity for pnjt&giiig aotively is it« support, An opportunity for united exertion, such as is now -ifforded, is of a oharaoter eminently in* tereHing. Exhibitors will be undismayed by the manifold disturbing influences which encumber a con-pc ition with the populous and opulent sooieties of the old world, will be unaffected by the innumerable distiao ions, which, in the per plexing variety of European exhibitions, call away'.'thn mind of the beholder fiom objects in ely Colonial. Although the cnn'empla'ed display oannot vie with the eplendonr of 'hose whioh exoite the rivalry of nations, purposes of the highest utilitarian and social importance to those iiumedia ely concerned mny be thereby served. A senrohing and penetrating attention may be concentrated on our mineral treasures, poitionn only of the boundless stores of which have been hitherto brought to light ;— on improved e'eonomio methods of winning them from the earth, and applying them- to the ends for which they are intended ;— on the sources of wealth which in their row atate, abound on ihe surface of our soils, in the rivers, and in the waters whioh encircle our coasts ; — nnd on the rare excellencies nnd peculiar development, in different latitudes, under different conditions of culture, of 'hose products which successful enterprise has introduced aitongfli us, rendering us already independent of many countries, and enabling us to contribute to the necessities, the comforti, and luxuries of most. A deliberate comparative survey may be made of the results flowing from the adoption of the liberal arts happily domiciled iv these climes, and the exeroise of those useful manufactures whioh genius, self reliance, and perseverance have established in lands so suitable for their natural vigorous growth. A diligent compilation of the etatis'ics of the actual products and of the productive capabilities of the different colonies will form a most valuable fund of information. Such, with many other engaging comparisons and combinations, may ocoupy most profitably the intelligent observation of those who associate themselves in the undertaking ; white' all who enter heartily into the cau<<d will doubtless be impelled to further efforts, oonduolve to a still more exWnaive and intimate aoquainUknoe 6f the colonißt* with eaoh other, the expansion of the limi's of their praotical knowledge, and the inoret.se of their material prospurity ; convinced that the periodic recurrence of suoh opportunities for amicable contention ar« calculated to generate ■entimenta of mutual respect, and to perpetuate those reciprocal feelings of eiteem and friendship which should ever animate subjects of the great nation from whioh w* are sprung. On behalf of the Commissioners, Rbdmond Babry, President.
