HI S bfxcelleney the Governor havin< hoen pleases! to issue a commission authorising the above-named persons to take the itoces<iirv steps for and conducting an | international exhibition, to be held in Melbourne, the Honorable the Chief Secretary of Victoria a idres-ed himself to the Governments of th. vari us dependencies of the Crown in Australasia inviting their cordial co-operation. HLdilv encouraging replies have been received v tfioscYonvey a well-founded assuraiv c that ih. ; • roioet of instituting a seiics of exhibitions o: natural products, general in ; ustries and .irt, to bt Held in succession in tlie several Australasian Colonies, has been accented in a spirit which acknowledges the truth of the. proposition — thai such exhibitions would " provo of public advan- • ago alike to all.'' The Commissioners are conscious, liowever, tliat it is not. sut'ecent to reiy solely on the good nten ;ons an.! prolit-red support of t ;o respective Go urmnents. They deem it right to appeal to tin public spirit cf the different communities. '1 ho\ i liave now the honor, thereiore, to invoke tin assistance of tlieir fellow subjects, noc only o* those who dwell in Victoria, but of those also resident in the other l-ritisti Colonies iv these seas, to aid them in the furtherance oi the design, anu they do so, with th.c couiident expectation that the" appeal will be considered worthy of a genei- us encouragement. The Commissioners do not propose io demon--ira.'e by labored -arguments the benefits which must arise almost unbidden from a contprehenI -ive, well directed organisation, for such a pur- ! pose, to the inhabitants of these regions, so favored hy Divine Providence — those benefits are seif-apparent. 'Ihey tlesfre, however, to impress upon all thoughtiul i.nd energetic persons the necessity for engaging actively in its support. An opportunity ior united exertion, such as is low a Horded, is of a character eminently interesting. Exhibitors will be undismayed by the manifold •disturbing iuiiueuees which encumber a competition with the populous aud opulent societies ol tho old world, will be unatlected by the in .merab.e distractions, wh.ch, m the perplexing variety of Em-opt an exhibitions, call away the mind oi the behol ie irom obj ets purely Colonial. although the contemplated display cannot vie with the splendour of ihose wliicn excite rivaln of nations, purposes of ths highest utilitarian and social importance to those immediately con- | ccrne I may be thereby served. A searching and pen etra.iug attention may be ! concent nite-i on our mineral treas mes, portions oniy of tlie boundless store of whicli have been hitherto brought, to light : — on improved economic methods of winning them from the earth, andapid\iug them to tlie ends for whicli they were intended -, — on the sources of wealth which, in their mw state, abound on the surface of our soils, in tiie rivers, an.l iv the waters which encircle our coa-sts : — on the rare excellencies and peculiar development, in dulcrent lattitudes, under diiieren. conditions of culture, of those pro.mcts which successful enterprise has introduced amongst us. rctider.ng us aliva-.iy independent of many countries, and enabling us to contribute to ■'he neces sities, the comforts, and luxuries of most. A deliberate comparative survey may be made of the results, flowing, from the adoption of "the iiber.iJ arts hapnuy domiciled iv these climes, and the exercise of those useful manufactures which • r eiiius, -self-reliance, and perseverance have established m lauds so suit-able for then- natural vigorous growth. A~diiigent compilation of the statistics of the actual products and of the productive capabilities of the different colonies, wniiorm a most valuable 'uiid of iniorination. Such, with many ether engaging comparisons v.v.d combinations, mny occupy most proiitabl} - tue intelligent observation of those who associate themselves in the undertaking ; while ail who enter heartily into the '-.use wdl doubtless be i-ompeile-J to further elibi.o, conducive 10' a still more extensive and intimate acquaintance of the colonists with each other, the expansion of the limits of their practical knowledge, and the inorccm of their mate-rial prosperity : convince-; that tlie periodic recurrence of sucii opportunities for amicaUie contention are calculated to generate sentiments of mutual respect, aud to perpetuate tlmse reciprocal feelings of ->deem and friendship which should ever animate subjects of the great nation Irom which we are sprung.
