Articles valued at fifteen or twenty thousand dollars each, are displayed in the most lavish profusion. Here, but a few feet apart, are the most costly silver ware, and the more useful, but less ornamenta! implements of industry: In one case, hundr2d3 of exquisite walking canes attract the attengjon of the spectator, while a few steps farther on he wil} find in some less conspicuous position, a modest and unpretending display of axes, spades, and other articles of the kind, of more intrinsic worth. There ix nothing which will per haps strike the visiter with more force, than the contrast presented in the hind and quality of the goods exhibited by different nations. Italy may be known by the statuary and other works ¢f art which she displays, France b, ber splendid cases of surgical instruments, which are unrivalled for quality and beauty of finish; the United States for articles of a utilitarian cliaracter ; Switzerland by*her profusion and variety of watches, and ingenious devices in jewelry ; and other nations by their different, peculiar, and principal produc tions in the fine or useful arts. Mexico makes but a sorry display, and Spain, Portugal, Greece, Russia, and a few other nations, are not represented. We are sorry for this, as we should like to have seen the map of Europe perfect, although the geographical arrangement of nature is set at deflance in the loca- tion of the different countries. The machine arcade, when completed, will be far- nished with engines of sixty horse power each. One of these, a beam engine, has been made in the works of Hollis & Nightingale ; and the other, which iga double engine, operating on a fly wheel, is from Lawrence, Massachusetts. This will give a motive force of one hundred and twenty horse power, which can, if necessary, be increased to one hundred and fifty. These engines will be put on their founda- tions some time next week, but it will be two or three weeks betore 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 a 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 a right to do so. If two heads are better than one, it follows as a logical sequence, that seventeen must be better than two. The follow- ing are the names of the foreign and domestic com. missioners, so far as they have been registered on the books of the association. There are a large number who have not yet been officially reported or entered; and as may be seen by reference to the list, not more than two-thirds of the States are represented: — FOREIGN COMMISSIONERS YOR GREAT BRITAIN AND IRVLAND.

WORKS IN MOSAIC, We yesterday gave an extended description of the process of working in one particular kind of mosaic, known by the name of the Florentine, and which is quite distinct from the Roman mosaic, In the Roman mosaic the effect is produced hy the use of innumerable small pieces of a vitrified compo- sition, of which the number of delicate gradations in color is almost incredible. In the Vatican mann- factory at Rome, upwards of twenty-six thousand different shades are stored and registered. In the Florentine method, known by the name of mosaic in Pictre dure, on hard stones, slices of nato- ral stones are used, which contain in themselves the tint aud shading of a considerable part of the leaf, flower, or other object to be represented, thus sap plying the place of perhaps a hundred of the mi- nute pieces of composition used in Roman mosaic. The stones are collected from all parts of the world; some specimens of them ina rough state are to be seen in the Crystal Palace, sent by E. Bosi, of Flo. rence. Those mosaics now exhibited in the west gallery are from Florence atone; the manufactnrers are G. Bianchini, E. Bosi, and F. Betti. The large oblong table top is by Betti. A splendid specimen of the Roman Mosaic, a copy of Guereino’s “ John the Baptist,” executed in the Vatiean manufactory, has been sent over to the ex- hibition by his Holiness the Pope, under the charge of Monsignor Bedini, and will shortly be in its place. The Pope consented ta have this fine work forward- ed on the solicitation of Mr. John Wylie Barrow, who represented Mr. Buschek, the géneral agent of the association, at Rome, and in the cther parts of Itaty. In addition to the works in Mosaie, there are seve- tal tables, the legs of which are elatorately carved into the most varied forms, while the tops are illus- trated with battle scenes, illustrations from heathen mythology, &. One of these is so remarkable, not only as a curiosity, but for the perfec- tion to which the process of inlaying in wood has been brought, that we would not be doing justice to the exhibitor if y# passed i$ over with a brief no- tice. The table was iatended originally for the Lon- don Fair; but as it wae not finished till near or after the close of the exhibitioa, it neve* made its appsax anee there, It iscertainly’a' rare piove of work, and superior to anything of the ind exhibited in our col* lectin. The leaf or top of the table is illustrated’ with »-presentations of four great English naval and Jaud battles—Waterluo, Moodk*e, the Wile, and Tra- falgar. In the centre, round which these are grouped, is an allegorical picture of England, representing Britannia supported and borne along the tempestu- ous waverby the sea coursers of Noptune, while on one side is the ged of the ocean himself, and on the other the gailant tar of England. ‘The representa- tion of the battles exhibits remarkable skill and in- genuity. The artist has imbued them with a life and spirit whiclewe thought it impossible to produce in weod. Theve are several ther tables, bone of which are’ defivient either in workmanship or artistic tuste. That which we have deseribed ta the work of C. Ciando, of Nice. In conclusiun, we would state that the: figures, &c., are formed frou» fifteen various woods, the colors of which are natural, and the whole table was a work of five years. In the same section with these tables, are twoelab- orately carved pier glass frames, each of which is about eight feet high and four or five wide. On thes> are carved flowers, leaves, birds, and the most gro~ tesqne figures, fabulous animals, with head, wings, and claws of a dragon, and the breast of a woman. Near these is a table, evidently by the same artist, jvdging from the design and the partiality which he appears to entertain for all kinds of nondescripts. There is another table in this section, which is one of the most remarkable pieces of work- manship even in this adntirable collection. It is circular, and the top is composed of divergent rays, formed by alternate pieces of ebony andivory. The effect of these upon the eyes can ouly be com- pared to that produced by the sun; it dazzles the vision to such a degree as to render it painful to the eyes to look at it for any length of time. It is a suh- ject of astonishment how the artist ever put it toge- ther, for the joining of the various rays as they ap- proach the centre become so smail and so intricate, that it appears almost impossible to join them. This was made by 8. Dexcalzi, from Genoa, who has also a very beautiful table, painted in imitation of mar- ble, on exhibition. In addition to the tables we have noticed, there are a few excellent imitations of the Chinese style, which might be easily mistaken for the work of the Celestials. There are s large number of other works of art in the Italian Department, which we will notice hereafter. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. STATUARY. We yesterday alluded tothe display which Eng- land made in porcelain ware and in groups of statuettes from Parian marble. We have now the first opportunity of placing a description of some few of these Leautiful'and Gurable ornaments before our readers. The British manufactories produce im mense quantities-of these articles yearly, and the his- tory of their manufacture is one of interest, which we will publish at somo future time. Of those sent to the Crystal Palace only a portion have yet becu un packed, the rest, consisting of several packages, being still in the Custom House. We refer to-day to a few of the most interesting groups and statuettes, from the manufactury of the Hon. W. T. Copeland, ex Mayor of London, aud now a member of Parlia- ment. His wares are reported to be among the best of the kind, but whether such is the case or no}, examination and comparison will prove. Mr. Cope- land's manufactory is in London, and the agent for the exhibition and sale of his goods in this country is Charles C. Leigh, Esq,, of this city. The first piece which we noticed in the collection is entitled “The Return from the Vintage,’ a group consisting of seven figures, the entire height of the work being twenty six inches. It represents laborers standing upon a pedestal, bearing on their shoulders a tub, in which is seated a girl playing the tamborine, and over the edge of which hangs clusters of grapes, indicative of the vintage from which the company is returning. The middle of the pedestal is embcllished with a wreath of grapes, and so well is the entire work ex- ecuted that even a connoisseur might take it for sculptured marble, Four statuettes, called the “ Four Seasons,” are here exhibited, being exact copies from the original in marble, by Thorneycroft, executed for Victoria, which are somewhat celebrated. They represent the four seasons in the persons of four children of the royal family of England—the Princess Royal as Sum- mer, the Prince of Wales as Winter, the Princess Alice as Spring, and the Prince Alfred as Autumn. Each stand ina separate glass case, all of them being eighteen inches in height. The group are ex- ecuted with great skill, and those who see it are liberal in their praise. Tempted” is labelled upon one of the pieces of this collection, and its beauty entitles it to a place among the rest described. The mother of mankind is represented seated upon a bunch of daisies and other flowers, and around her is coiled the serpent, holding in its mouth an apple, which is offered to Eve. She withdraws instinctively from it as from something pernicious, yet upon her countenance the artist has admirably portrayed that inquisitivencss which led her to accept that forbidden fruit The porcelain ware, from rod same menufactory, is beautiful aud valuable. Tis ware is highly polished, and colored with all the artistic beauty of painting. UNLTED STATES. PIANOS. One of the most A’egant pianos probably ever manufactured, in apy ca untry, is now on exhibition at the Crystal Palace. Th? lovers of musio in this find something to pleas¢ Sia? eye a8 well as the ear. It was made by Grovesteer! & Co., of this city, and bears upon itself a prodigalMy of valuable materials. The groundwork of the suxfa ce is a hard smooth polish, similar to ebony, which: 3s inlaid with ivory so neatly as to lead the best juclges to believe it to be the ‘nest quality of papéer mache. The keys are made of mother ef pearl, and it is elaborately em- bellished with pictures and flowers. Upon the lid is a berutiful Venetian scene, representing the Palace of St. Mark. On cach co: ‘ner, also, is landscape veenery, and the profusion of flowers all ronnd it give it a very rich appearance Some idea can be formed of its magnificence by" the valuation placed upon it, which is twenty-five h @ndred dollars. Be- side his stands another piano, fi 0m the same mane factory, valued at fifteen hundn *d dollars, and al- though far inferior to its mate, i nevertheless a eplendi#y: wrought instrament. This is made of rosewood, highly ornamented with earved work on all its sides, In fropvt of it, and upon each corner, surrounded with beds of flowers, are represented the heads of Jomny Lind, Parcdt, Alboni, Sontag, &c. Many other pisnos are displayed’ with these, but they are all eclipsea*by the superice ntake of the ones de- scribed, MACHINER® Among the various inventica# which Yankee in- genuity has mads, is a winnow wmill,for cleansing the offal from grain, a-notice of which will be of interest to farmers and millers, for wl oe benefit it is ape- cially designed. Itis called th» “ Excelsior Grain and Grass Seed Sevarator,” and was invented by Mr. G. B. Salmon, of Itinois. The mate of the mill is too complex to give in writing a full idea as to how it is put together or works. But, what can it de? is the only question necessary for us to answer. It is ueed by hand, and purports to be capable of cleansing from twenty to forty Lashels of whoat-per hour; it will separate from wheat chaff, cock!e, garlic, smut, dead grain, and other impurities. It I clean grasa seed and clover, and separate the one ‘rom the other. These results are accomplished by a poculiarly form- ed seive, anda slide,which enables the cperatorto use whatever rush of air through the machine:he chooses, The millers’ machive is upon the same principle, but capable of enlargement,so aa to clean any-amount per hour between fifty and two hundred bushels. The price of these machines is $25 fot the ordinary size for farmers, and a greater charge in propor- tion to any enlargement. This machine appears to be endowed with discriminating powers, and be able to decide between the good and the offal. The most amalgamated mass of seeds may be thrown into it, and, in the twinkling of an eye, it will pick out the good, and place it on your hand clean and free from impurities.* Lots GENERAL SCOTT'S VISIT“‘TO@ THE PALACE. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, General Scott paid a visit to the Palace, and immediately, by the notice he attracted, he eclipsed everything om exhibition. Go where he would,’a crowd attended him, as soon as the report spread through the build. ing that the conqueror of Mexico-was among them. Those who stood musing on the statucs-of Colambas and Webster, and those who were lost in the admi- ration of the colossal works of Kiss and Marochetti, turned frem all the objects of their reflections to look upon our Union’s greatest chieftain. The Generai seemed to examine the collection with much interest, and particularly when he came to the Thierwaldren’s group, he paused for some time, and looked upom there great works with admiration.§ Thence the old veteran walked over the display made by Uncle Sam, and here, when he came among the cannon and mus- ketry, he showed by his more sprightly step, that he immediately felt. he was among old companions, and be kicked and thumped the cannon as if they were toys for his amusement. From here the old General walked over to the other departments, and was lost in the crowd. He still carries his arm in @ sling, but otherwise looks well, and is capable to con- duct our armies through otber campaigns as glorious as those he has already passed. The following is the number of pe! who visited the Crystal Palace yesterday, and amount re- ceived, according to the registers on the tum styles :— Number of visiters with season tickets. 3,506 Nomber of transient visiters. . see's 2,728 Amount received from transient visiters...$1,360 60 As the price ofa season ticket is ten dollars, the whole number sold bas realized $35,060. This is pretty big business for the first three days. The amount of contributions to the Washington monument yesterday was $47 40. The French Crystal Palace. DEPARTMENT oF Stare, Wasainoton, July 16, 1863. { Official information has been received at this De- partment that goods, the importation of which is prohibited in Fran ll not only be admitted at the Universal Exhibition which is to be opened in Paris in 1855, but after the exhibition they may, at the option of the exhibitors, be either re-exported free of all duties or delivered for interior consump- tion by paying a duty of thirty per conton the value. Police Inteliigence. UNTERFEIT BANK BULLS—ARREST OF THR CUSED AND HIS COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL. On Sorday evening officers © Brien and Brady of the Fourteenth ward, arrested a wan calling himself Hoary Ykoer, on a charge of paving counterteit five dollar Dill- pur portirg to be genuine bills on the “ Casco Bank, state of Maine’ The bills were remarkably well exe- cited, anc calculated to deceiyo. . It appears that in the eorly part «f Sunday evening: the accused and an ac- compliee wert into Military Hall, No 198 Bowery, and called for drinks, The barkeeper waited upon them, and the accomplice, in payment forthe refreshment, offered a counterfeit bill ax above described. ‘The bill was and change given in good money, and the two men rocn fier The biil was discovered to be a counterfeit, avd ‘vformation was given to Captain Scatliff of the PASSIN Whose mortal teste, brought death foto the wor!d end all our woe, A scriptural piece, called the ‘Prodigal’s Retura,” stands upon the table of these statuettes, and de- rerves a notice. This is also enclosed in a glass case, is about eighteen inches high, and consists of two figures, It represents the father receiving the pro- digal in bis arms, as spoken of in the verse:-— And be arese and came to his fs her, Bat when he wes vet a great way off hie father sae him and bad com ussion, ace rap and fell upoo his neck amd kissed him. Tew.des these there are many other beautiful spe F cimens of statuary consisting of vaces, busts, and ideal works. In the collection are life-like casts of Welling: ton. Nelson, Byron, Sir Walter Scott, Queen Victoria, Daniel Webster, and others, ail from originals by cele- brated artists. These articles are small, and to some mighsapyear trivial, but the extent to which they are manufactured, the capital invested in this kind of work, and their tendencies, on account of cheapness, to spread and diffuse a knowledge of the fine arts, give them an important position among the inver tions of the world. They ean be parchased at various prices, from twenty-five to. one hundred dollars; the material from which they are made is almost as durable as Italian marble, and may be washed with- | out injury. Tora mantle ornament nothing can be more beautiful, and forthe small sum mentioned above they enable those ofthe humbler walks of life, to clevate thoir taste of the fine arta hy themselves possessing, in all their purity, the finest works of the ancient masters, or the most natural expressions ever wrought with the sculptor’s chisel. From this Parian monrble are made almost every variety of domestic ware, sich a4 dishep, plates, pitchers, &0., &o. Fourteenth ward pclice.
