YTIS Excellency Sir Charles Darling havingbecn X plcasedtoissuoacoinmiosion,authorisingthe bovo-nnmed persons to tako tho necessary steps mapnging and conducting an international exhibition, to bo hold in Melbourne, Iho Honorab'o the Ohiof Secretary of Victoria addressed himself to tho Governments of tho various dependencies of tho Crown in Austialasia, inviting their cordial co-oporation. Highly encouraging roplio3 havo been iecoived : thcso convey a well-founded nssuranco that thoprojcot of institiuing a sorics of exhibitions of natural products^ general industries andnrfc, ,to be held in succession in tho several Australasian colonies, hasbeen accepted in aspiiit wbich ftoknowledges the truth of the proposition —Hint such exhibitions would "prove of iniblio advantage aliko to all." The Commissioners nro conscious, however, that it is not suflicient to rely solely on the good intentions and proffered supportof thb respective Governments-^ They deem it right to appeal to the piiblio spirit of tho different communities. They havo now tho honor, thorotore, to invoko Iho earnest assistance of their follow suljecta, not only of those who dwell in Victoria, bui of tH'w also resident in the -other B.itish colonies in thcso sens, to aid thorn in tho furtherance cf (hedesiin, tind thOy do so with tho confident exp^oiatioi that tho appeal will bo considered worthy of a '■onerous encoarn3ement. Tho Commissioners do not propose to demonsi 1 ate by labored arguments tho benofits which must arise almost unbidden from a eoinpr n l.pnbivo, well directed orgavisation, for such a purpose, lo tho inhabit. mla of thcso regions, so favored by Divino Providence— 'thoso benolifaaio : sel f apparent. : ) They desire, howover, to, impress upon nH thoughtful nnd onorgotio persons tho necessity for engaging actively in its support. • An. opportunity for united oxortion, such ns is now afforded, is of a character eminently Ineresting. Exhibitors will bo undismayed by the manifold disturbing influences which encumber a co'uuoi'ition Mit'i the populous and opulent societies of tl'O o'd world, will bo unaffected by ' I'ie innumerable detractions, which, in thß perplexing variety of European exhibitions, adl a'\ny tie niti'd of tho beholder from objects purely Colonial. J •> Although tho contemplated diiplay cannot vie with the pplcntlou).' of tjioso which exoito the r'vii'ry of nations, .purposes of.tho highest utilit lino nnd sooini iinpoi trtneo to thoso innncdialoly concerned nay be thereby seived. A searching an^peneUa'ing attention may bo concentrated on 01 r mineral trensmes, poitions on'y of Iho boundlpss stoves of which havo been hUhc.'to brought to li«ht;— on improved economic methods of winning ' them from tho earth, and applying thorn to tho ends for which they me intended; — on the sources of wealth which, in thoir "raw state, abound on tho suvfaco of our to'ls, in Iho ljvcrs, and In llio waters which cncirolo our coasts ; — and on tho rare exce'lencies and peculiar development, in different latitude, under different conditions of culture, of those pioducts which successful enterprise has introduced amongst, us, rendeiing us already independent of many countries, and enab'ing us to contributoto tho necessities, tho comforts, and luxuiics of most. A deliberate comparative survey may bomado of the results flowing fioni tho adoption of the Mboinl ai ts happily domiciled iv t'ic:o clime?, and tho excrciso of thoso usoful manufactures which genius, fselfirolinnco, and perseverance havo established in lands ho suitable for their naluial vigoious giowth. A diligent compilation of tho statistics of fie patual pioducts and of tho productive capabi'iof the different colonies will form a most ' Valuable fund of information. Such, with many other engaging comparisons and combinationo. may occupy most profitably tho intelligent observation of thoso who associate themselves in the undertaking ; while all who enter heartily into tho c^itso will doubtless be impelled to furthor efforts, conducive to a still j move extensive antl intimate acquaintance of lho' \ colonists with each other," tho oxpansion of tho j limits of thoir piaotioal knowledge, and tho increase of their matoiial prosperity ; convinced that tho periodic recurrence of such opportunities for amicable contention aro calculated to generate sentiments of mutual respect, and to p'erpotuato thoso reciprocal feolings of esteom and fiioiklship which should over animato subjects of tho great nation from which wo are sprung. On behalf of tho Commissioners, Redmond Bauuy, President. .
