G-LENEIELD STAECH. Exclusively used in the Royal Laundry. By Special Appointment. STA E"C II PUEVEYOE TO TIER "ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PEINCESS OE WALES. rnHE best proofs of tho greatest superiority _ ol X this Starch are the numerous distinguishing marks of approval which have been accorded to it from all quarters, amongst those may be mentioned the folio wing, viz. •— It is exclusively used in tho Royal Laundry, AND Her Majesty's Laundress says it is the finest Starch she ever used. „ Honourable mention was awarded at the Great Exhibition in London, in ISSI. A Prize Medal was awarded for it at the .New York Exhibition in 1853 ; and A Prize Medal was also awarded to it at the Internatioual Exhibition in London, THE GLENEIELD STARCH Has continued to increase rapidly. The Manufacturers have every confidence m asserting, that if those ladies and laundresses who do not regularly uso this Starch would disregard the advice of interested dealers, who are allowed extra profits on inferior articles, and give it a fair trial, they would then feel satisfied with the very superior "finish which it imparts to laces, linens, muslins, &c, the great saving of trouble in its application, and the entire absence of disappointment with the results, and would for tho future, like THE QUEEN'S LAUNDRESS, USE NO OTHER. To be had of all respectable Grocers, Druggists j OUmen, &c, &c., and wholesale of the Manufacturers, ROBERT WOTHERSPOON & CO., STARCH PURVEYORS TO Her Royal Highness the Princes 3 of Wales, Intercolonial ExhibitionINTERCOLONIAL EXHIBITION OE AUSTRALASIA, 1566.

HI S ExceUency the Governor having been pleased to issue a commission authorising the above-named persons to take the necessary "steps for managing and conducting au international exhibition, to be held in Melbourne, the Honorable the Chief Secretary of Victoria addressed himself to the Governments of the various dependencies of the Crown in Australasia inviting then* cordial co-operation. Highly encouraging replies have been received ; t:icse C couvey a wen-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 tho 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 dweil in Victoria, but of those also resident in the other British Colonies in these seas, to aid them in the furtherance of the design, and they do so, with the confident expectation that the appeal wiU be considered worthy of a generous encouragement. The Commissioners do not propose to demonstrate by labored arguments the benefits wliich must arise almost unbidden from a comprehensive, weU directed organisation, for- such a purpose, to the inhabitants of these regions, so favored by Divine Providence — tho^e benefits are self- apparent. They desire, however, to impress upon aU thoughtful and energetic persons the necessity for engaging actively hi its support. An opportunity for united exertion, such as is now anorded, is of a character eminently interesting. Exhibitors wiU be undismayed by tlie manifold disturbing influences which encumber a competition with the populous and opulent societies of the old world, wiU be unaffected by the inumerable 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 with the splendour of those which excite rivalry of nations, purposes of the highest utilitarian and social importance to those immediately concerned may be thereby served. A searching and penetrating attention may be concentrated on our mineral treasures, portions only of the boundless store of which have been hitherto brought to light ; — on improved economic methods of winning them from the earth, and applying them to the ends for which they were intended ; — on the sources of wealth which, in their raw state, abound on the surface of our sods, in tlie rivers, and hi the waters which encircle our coasts ; — on the rare exceUencies and peculiar development, in different lattitudes, under different conditions of culture, of those products which successful enterprise has introduced amongst us, rendering us already independent of many countries, and enabling us to contribute to the necessities, the comforts, and luxuries of most. A deliberate comparative survey may be made of the results flowing from the adoption of the Überal arts happhy domicfied in these chmes, and the exercise of those useful manufactures which genius, self-reliance, and perseverance have estabhshed in lands so suitable for their natural vigorous growth. A diUgent compilation of the statistics of the actual products and of the productive capabilities of the different colonies, wilt form a most valuable ■<uud of information. Such, with many other engaging comparisons and combinations, may occupy most profitably the inteUigent observation of those who associate themselves in the undertaking ; while aU who enter heartily into the —.use wiU doubtless be compeUed to further effoi..., conducive to a still more extensive and intimate acquaintance of the colonists with each other, the expansion of the limits of their practical knowledge, and the inorease of their material prosperity ; convinced that the periodic recurrence of such opportunities for amicable contention are calculated to generate sentiments of mutual respect, and to perpetuate those reciprocal feelings of esteem and friendship which should ever animate subjects of the great nation from wliich we are sprung.
