The various specimens of wood, to which we have already alluded, have been already classified, and may now be seen by visiters, with otker objects af interest from that part of South America. British Guiana is situated under the gal- lery between the north and west naves, and occupies buta limited space. Very little show has been made yet in this section of the building, but the arrange- ment of the goods, it is expected, will be competent in a week at the farthest. The principal featares here are Thorwaldsen statues, and a portion of the Italian works. In this section are also placed the instru- ments employed in the United States coast survey, which are, however, objects of greater interest to scientific men than to the great mass of visiters, Some of the exhibitors complain of the manner in which their goods are handled by visiters, but we think that, with very few exceptions, they are ex- ceedingly cautious. We heard of one person who, desiring to test the quality of one of the valuable Mosaic tables, was in the act of cutting it with his penknife, when he was fortunately discovered in time by the agent to prevent its being damaged. Some ladies, it is said, are also in the habit of poking their fans into the articles, but we have not heard of their receiving any damage. We hope, however, that each visiter will do aH in his power to prevent these works from being injured, not merely for the sake of the exhibitors, but for the credit of the coun- try. It would, indeed, be a subject of great regret if, throngh a wanton recklessness on the part of any visiter, any of the beautiful works of art should be defaced or destroyed. In some cases we know it would be impossible to replace them. We have already spoken about the appoint- ment of commissioners, and the great dispro- Portion which exists between the number ap- pointed by different States. Since then, how ever, we have been informed the disproportion is greater than we supposed. Thus, for instance, Florida bas about seventeen commissioners, while California has over twenty. If the former had any articles on exhibition this might be overlooked, but it is a fact that she has not contributed a single pro- duct of her soil; nor has California much the ad- vantage of her in this respect, for while she has a large majority of commissioners over any other State, her coutributions consist only of a lump of gold, a few potatoes, and two or three other articles, The following is a complete list of the commissioners appointed by the Governor of Connecticut: Hartford County —Samuel Colt, Hartford; A.

Those who visit the French department cannot but admire the brilliant exhibition of Sevres porce- lain. This city has long and justly been celebrated for the perfection to which the art of manufactaring china has been brought, in which it exceeds any other city in Europe. The first specimens of porce- Jain, as our readers are aware, came from China, fiom which it derives its name. The best Chinese porcelain is of a very fine texture, white. semi-trans- parent, and sometimes beautifully colored and gilt. It is infasible. and not subject to break by the sud- den application of heat or cold. The Chinese term for the article, says McCulloch, is tseki ; but the Portuguese, by whom it was first brought in con- siderable quantities into Europe, bestowed on it the name of “ porcelain,” from porcella, % cup. After porcelain began to be imported, its beauty soon brought into great request, notwithstanding its high price, as an ornament for the homes and tables of the wealthy. The emulation of Hu- ropean artists was in consequence exerted ; but very little information was, however, ob- tained, as to the mode of manufacturing porce- lain, till the early part of the last century, when the process was developed in a letter from a French Je- suit in China, who had found means to make himself pretty well acquainted with the subject. The know- ledge which thus transpired, and the investigations of Reamur and other chemists, prepared the way for the establishment of the manufacture in Europe. It was first commenced at Dresden, which has been famous ever since for the beauty of its productions; but as we have already said, the finest specimens of Turopean china are produced at Sevres, in France. The manufacture of this article in that city is carried on at the expense of the Freneh government. Some of the finest specimens of Sevres porcelain in the exhibition, is that displayed in the French de- partment, by La Hoche, from Paris. Among these we noticed a beautiful dessert service of plate, con- sisting of thirty-eight pieces, each of which is ex- quisitely embellished with designs of flowers round the edge, while in the centre is a portrait of some celebrated historic personage of the Court of Louis the 13th, 4th, or 15th. The name of each person is marked on the back of the plate. Besides these, there are table, tea and coffee, and crystal services. Some very handsome lamps, candelabras, and orna- mental vases are exhibited by the same manufac- turer. These, we are informed, took the prize at the World’s Fair in London. One of the most beautiful objects in the whole collection is a centre piece, which is so constructed as to serve either tor the centre of the table & diner, or as an ornament for the parlor. Another beautifal specimen of the per- fection to which the manufacture can be brought is the combination of the candelabras and flower vase. It is the largest piece in the whole collection, and is formed almost entirely of porcelain. The vase is supported by amors or eupids, and is exquisitely canbellished on the sides with scenes from heathen my. thology. From the centre of the vase arises a mag- nificent candelabra, and in the centre of this again is asolar lamp. Itmight be supposed this strange combination would have a bad effect; but the artis- tic and ingenious manner in which the work has been performed renders it one of the most exquisite ornaments we have ever scen. In addition to these, there is a curiously contrived clock, the dial plate of which, instead of being flat, like that of ordinary timepieces, is cylindrical, and is made to revolve, like a wheel round its axes. THE MECHANICAL PIAWO. In the same section with the porcelain ware above- deacribed there is a curious musical instrument, called the mechanical piano. This has one groat advantage over ordinary pianos—it can be played by persons who have no practical knowledge of mu- sie, The performer, by turning a handiec exactly similar to that of a hand organ, can play the most difficult pieces. The mechanical ar- rangement is in some respeeta different from the common hand piano, but it has also a finger board, and can be played in the same manner. This in- strument cost five hundred dollars. Tho masic is set ina very different style from that sold in the music PRICE TWO CENTS. ——$_$_—— stores, and is, besides, more expensive, so that, after all, we are inclined to think that, whatever advan- tage it possesses over the other pianos is more than counterbalaaced by the difference in the price. Itis however, a very ingenious inveation, and deserves the attention of visiters. Physicians, sud particularly avegeons, will find much te interest them in the beautiful case of surgi- cal instruments displayed in the gallery of the French department, by M. Channere, of Paris. Among these will be found many re@ent and valuable‘inven- tions. It would be tedious to enumerate them all,. but an inspection of the case will prove more than all we could say of what the French are capable in the manufacture of these indispensable instruments. THE ITALIAN DEPARTMENT. STATUARY. We have alseady noticed several of the most beau- tiful works of art in this part of the building, but there has since been a large addition to the colleo- tion. The Veiled Faces are a perfect triumph in this branch of the fine arts, and show to what perfection the sculpture of marble can be brought. The veil extends over the whole fuce, yet leaves every feature as distinctly visible as if the veil were made of gauze, These pieces are by Raffaele Monti, an artist of con siderable distinction, who obtained a prize at the Wor!d’s Fair in London for specimens of art in this particular line. Pasquale Romanelli, a distinguished Florentine artist, has contributed a piece representing the son of the Swiss patriot Tell immediately after thejapple was shot from his head. We do not speak too highly of it when we say that it is a work of great merit, and is not surpassed by any in the whole collection. The boy is in the act of rising from his knees, the bandage has fallen from his eyes upon his neck, and he is looking with a mingled expression of pleasure and astonishment atthe apple which is pinned tothe tree by the arrow from his father’s bow. The features of the boy are admirably executed, and the whole body is faultless. Those who look at this work once, and have a love for the Deautiful, must look again and again before they leave it. Near this statue is one of Columbus, a copy from the original by Costa, a celebrated sculptor of Flo- rence. The original was made for Abbas Pacha, the ruler of Egypt, in whose possession it is at present. It is regarded as a work of great merit, and it cer. tainly betrays great boldness and vigor of execution. The great discoverer is represented pointing to that portion of the globe on which is mapped the conti- nent of America. NUMBER OF VISITERS, ETC., YESTERDAY.

Horrisne Arvai at Cuinronx.--The Decatur (Marion county, lil.) Gazette of the 15th inst. has the following :—Herr Alexander met with a most ter- rible check at Clinton, Dewitt county, last week. In playing off the hocus god of the magic pistol, it proved to be loaded with balls, and the young man, Jeorge Smith, who was to stand up and catch a fic- titions ball in his mouth, received the contents of the loaded pistol in his left side, and from the character of the wound and season of the year the probability is that it will terminate his life, leaving a widowed mother, who was solely dependent on him, inconso- lable.

July 21, a trotting match for $500, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, came off between Centreville and Black Douglas. Centreville won the race. Five heats were closely contesied—Dougias, althougl defeated, proving himselt no mean adversary; indeed, 89 much was he thought off, that Hiram Woodruff offered to match hiu for a similar race, providing the owner of the horse would let him drive. This, Mir Kiog-refused to do, alleging that he would have won tha p.esent race had he been dealt fairly with by the driver of Centreville, whom he charged with crossing him twice during the heata, in viclation of the rules. This unfairness, he raid, took place on the turns, and at piaces whore the eyes of the judges could not reash; aad he therefore declined letting his horse trot against partie: who would take such updue advantage. Tnis, however, is but “driver talk;’’ agd the best of them, whou defea'ed, have always some lame excuse to offer. Centreville is a hard horse to beat at any distance; and Douglas should acquire a greater degrce of speed and bottom before he egain contends with Centreville with any hope of suc- cess, They, however, trot. two races at Saratoga next month, after all said, as we ree by an advertisement in the Hrkarp, where the track is much softer, and better adapted for Douglas than the tracks on Long Island; and there, if at all, be may bear off the pala. Centreville was the favorite at two to one previous to the start; after the first heat, 100 to 25 was wagered on iso; then, after the second heat, the betting was even; at the end of the thi:d-heat, Centrevillo was offered at two te one; and just previous to the start for the last heat, the back bad the ouli im the betting, Aad yet, with all the changes of: the financial compass, it would not have require a very lurge wallet to have carried all the money won ou the race.
