Dr . Woldemar Seyepaeth , LD.D., Commissioner for Jloyal Saxony, 91 Piccadilly .

A very complete collection of industrial products and of the materials constituting tlieir basis is exhibited by this kingdom . Although the classified arrangement adopted in the United Kingdom has not been strictly observed in this case as in that of other foreign countries , still the arrangement of exhibitors in the Catalogue generally accords with the succession of the Thirty Classes, and consequently admits of ready comparison with other portions of this work . Among the raw materials are specimens of flax water -retted , and of yarn spun from it . The speciments of cobalt and nickel must attract the attention of all mineralogists and of others interested in the commercial and scientific application of these important metals . The former is principally used for the intense brilliancy of its oxide, the latter as a good substitute for colour , in combination with other metals . The cobalt colours are well shown in a series of specimens derived from the lloyal Porcelain Works at Meissen . The nickel , cobalt ores, and colours are from one of the very few known sources of the former metal , the mine at Pchneiberg . A few machines are exhibited —of these one is for planing type , one for boring , one for casting type , and one for sweeping narrow flues of chimneys . Among the philosophical instruments exhibited is an electro -magnetic telegraph similar to those employed on the telegraphic lines of Saxony and Bavaria : an electro -dynamometer , and specimens of watches made on the Swiss system , are also exhibited . The collection of musical instruments includes string and wind instruments of various kinds , harmonicas , pianofortes , etc. The textile manufactures are extremely well represented , especially in the woollen department , in which the long -established reputation of the Saxon manufacturers appears to be fully supported . This may be better conceived by the statement of the number of exhibitors of articles either entirely of woollen , or partially , as in worsted , their number is fifty -nine . The total number of Saxon exhibitors is only one hundred and eighty - eight : this proportion , therefore , of exhibitors of articles belonging to only one class, strongly indicates the pre¬ vailing direction in which the national industry of this kingdom exercises its activity . The producers of oil¬ cloth , and of that kind of it which is used for table -covers , are also numerous . A very valuable and extremely attractive collection of objects is that exhibited by the lloyal Saxon Manufactory of China , the works of which have long been carried on on an extensive scale at Meissen . The vases , figures , and busts are delicately executed , and exhibit the excellent quality of this beautiful porcelain . An attractive object is a porcelain mirror frame painted in colours , with flowers in relievo . Specimens of types and typography are also exhi¬ bited . Among the sculptures are one or two figures in Carrara marble .—11. E .
