DEPUTATION.
THE PHILADELPHIA EXHIBITION.
In little more than twelve months the largest exhibition building that the world has yet seen will be opened at Phila delphia. We have already published some descriptive particulars of the huge struc ture now springing up in one of the prin cipal centres of Aniet ican commerce. The most recent advices from the States tell us that within the nt-xb two months no fewer than ten t.honsmd hands will be actively employed in i ' s construction. The circulars of the British Commission have been issued by Mr. Cunliffe Owen, and applications for space must at once be sent in. It is not too early, then, to c insider what the project really means, and we can assuie our readers that the subject deserves their best attention. Although the exhibition is, after ail, to be nomina'ly provincial, and Government aid is withheld, it cannot be denied t'«at the magnitude of the Undertaking will really confer upon it the dignity of a nati nal enterprise. So far, therefore the Philadelphia Exhibition cannot well be regarded as inferi-r in its scope to that of Pm-is in 1867, or of Vienna in 1873. Many engineers and manufacturers of Great Britain will there fore contemplate the sending of their pro ductions to the other siie of the Atlantic* —The Engineer.
