HI S Excellency the Governor having been pleased to issue a commission authorising the above-named persons to take the necessary steps for managing and conducting an international exhibition, to be held in Melbourne, the Honorable the Chief Secretary of Victoria itddressed himself to the Governments of the various dependencies of the Crown in Australasia inviting their cordial co-operation. Highly encouraging replies have been received ; these convey a well-founded assurance that the project of instituting a series of exhibitions of natural products, general industries and art, to be held in succession in the several Australasian Colonies, has been accepted in a spirit which acknowledges the truth of the proposition — that such exhibitions would "prove of public advantage alike to all." The Commissioners are conscious, however, that it is not sufficient to rely solely on the good intentions and proffered support of the respective Governments. They deem it right to appeal to the public spirit of the different communities. They have now the honor, therefore, to invoke the assistance of their fellow subjects, not only of those who dwell in Victoria, but of those also residert in the other British Colonies in these seas, to aid them in the furtherance of the design, and they clo so, with the confident expectation that tie iTroeal will be considered worthy of a gene- , rr_ - t ..3ouragement. Ui c Commissioners do not propose to demonr ra" by labored arguments the benefits which :. u;' .arise almost unbidden from a comprehen- - , -=-relJ directed organisation, for such a purpose, to the inhabitants of these regions, so favored by Divine Providence — those benefits are self- apparent. They desire, however, to impress upon all thoughtful and energetic persons the necessity for engaging actively in its support. An opportunity for united exertion, such as is now afforded, is of a character eminently interesting. Exhibitors will be undismayed by the manifold disturbing influences which encumber a competition with the populous and opulent societies of ?he old world, will be unaffected by the in»mer- ' able distractions, which, in the perplexing variety of European exhibitions, call away the mind of the beholder from objects purely Colonial. Although the contemplated display cannot vie witlithe splendour of those which excite rivalry of nations, purposes of the higliest utilitarian and social importar - those immediately concerned may be \':>-iv. >•- r; 'ved.
