' Htrcit II. Pleasants, Principal Editor. , It is designed to make it equal to any Weekly sheet in the Union for its general interest. In c. tone and sentiment, it is Southern?its conductors are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re- I eeive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens. r They enter upon no mere speculation in their en- ? terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu- 0 cation, from position, from association, from in- * teres'., from choice, they are Southern men. Their ' defence of Southern rights is a defence of them- 91 selves and all they hold dear;?that it has been " warm unremitting, and as fur us their capacity ul- a lowed, vigorous, no man who has rend their sheet will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be ^ so is to presume that the principles and ideas ' which have been instilled into them from their c birth, can be eradicated, at a period of life when u men rarely change their views They, at least, H know it to be impossible. & Jtj"The low price at which the paper is published requires that the subscription be paid al- t, ways in advance. n J3=TO CLUBS.A32 v If oj/er the following Inducements: ?

I I'l'Ciiiluins to Now Subscribers. t OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revolutions among the nations of Europe, which have I followed each otl>rr ill ipiicli succession, and of which c the "end is not yet," the leading periodicals of Great t Britain have become invested with a degree of inter- t est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle pound b?tween the hasty, disjointed, and necessarily r imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo- 1 rate anil ponderous treatises to he furnished by the his- | torian at?a future day. THt American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to t these Periodicals, and the very low price at which , they are ottered to subscribers. The following is , their list, viz ; T1IE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, c THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, < AND ' BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. In these periodicals are contained he views, mode- s rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of tlie e three great parties in England?Tory, Whig and Ha- ' dical?" Blackwood " and tin " London Quarterly " I are Tory ; the "Edinburgh Review" Whig; and t the " Westminster Review " Liberal. The "North t British Review " owes its establishment to the last great ecclesiastical njyvemcnt in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand depart- ' incuts of human knowledge ; it was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is eonducted by his son-in-law.

Sir: 1 have the honor herewith to transmit copies of a correspondence which lias taken place between the Minister Plenipotentiary of her Majesty the t^ueen of Great Britain and this Department relative to the proposed Industrial Exhibition to be held in London in the year 1851. From the circular of the Koyal Commissioners of Great Britain, hereto annuxed, it will he observed that all objects intended to be introduced from foreign countries and entered lor that Exhibition are required to have been lirsl submitted to and approved by a central authority or commission of the country from which they shall he brroughl, and that no other will lm recognized as a central authority except such as shall have been so certified by the Government of the country in which it exists. That American industry and arts may he enabled to appear in the place allotted to tliem, it will he indispensable that a recognized central authority should he constituted \ and 1 am under the impression that the National Institute, having been regularly incorporates! by act of Congress, and being habitually engaged in matters pertaining to the aits and sciences, is the proper body for taking the initiative in constituting such a central authority. 1 therefore beg leave to submit to its consideration the interesting and important subject which has been brought to the attention of this Department by the distinguished Envoy of her Majesty's Government, and to request such action or suggestions as may seeiu necessary in order that the natural productions, the ingenuity, industry, and arts of the United States may be fully and suitably represented on the interesting occasion herein referred to. 1 have the honor to he, very respectfully, yours, JOHN M. CLAYTON.

The resourses, the ingenuity, the industry, and arts of the United States arc conceived to merit .he best eddeavors to procure for them the opporunities of being adequately represented in the great Industrial Exhibition at London. Aggrceably to the programme adopted by the Royal Commission, no articles are to he received from Foreign Exhibitors except those which shall have been approved, by a central authority, recognized as such by the Government of the country from which they are sent. This Institute being the only Society for the Prootion of Science and the Arts, directly incorporated by the Government, the Secretary of State has deemed it the appropriate body to take actio! lr make suggestions relative to the fulfilment of the wishes of the Royal Commissioners, by the establishment of such a central authority as the case seems to require. To this voluntary proposal on the part of the Secretary ol State, the committee consider the National Institute in duty bound to respond. In accordance with this view, the committee respectfully iecommelid the following resolution : 1. ttesolvcit, That the Institute wtil take action on the subject submitted to it by the Department ol State. 2. lieeoived, That the Institute do now proceed to constitute a committee suitable to lie recognised by the Government a-s a central body to hold correspondence with the British Commissioners, and to secure the reception of American productions at the proposed iiiunsinai r.xiunii ion in j.oiu'.ou.

"The Commissioners have felt that it would be ! desirable, as far its poaeible, to prevent any oeri Ho net from HendiiiP' hither ariir.ife* whi?k ? ???? admitted, rather than to reject the articles after their arrival in London. They feel also that the delicate and responsible task of deciding on the adniiaaion or rejection of articles destined for exhibition by foreign contributors ought not to be imposed upon any Fnglish tribunal, but snould be referred to one i rving the confidence of the exhibitors their'si.ves, and standing entirely free from possibl- oputations of national partiality. They acccr.iiigly propose to admit to exhibition sucn foreign articles only us may be forwarded to them by the Centra! Authority (whatever may be its nature 1 in each country. They will communicate to sucn Central Authority the amount of space which can be allowed to the productions or ths country for which it acts, and will also state ths conditions and limitations which may from tims to time be decided on with respect to the admission of articles. All articles forwarded by such Central Authority will then be admitted, provided they do not require a greuier aggregate amount of space than that assigned to the productions of ths country from which they come; and, provided, also, that they do not violate the conditions and limitations of which due notice shalroiave been given. It will rest with the Central AGthority in each country to decide upon the merits of ths several articles presented for exhibition, and to take cure thut those which are sent are such as fairly represent the industry of their fellow-countrymen. | ?'Iler Majesty's Commissioners will consider j that to be the Central Authority in each ceme which is staled to be so by the Government of its country Having once been put in communication with a Central Authority in any country, they mustdej cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication with private and unauthorized ^individuals ; and, should any such be addressed to them, they can only refer to a central body. This decision it essentisllv necPHMiirir In _ j | ... u.vi?i vo prevent confusion. " No articles of foreign manufacture, to whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever they may be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they come with the sanction of the Central Authority of the country of which they are the producej The Commissioners do not insist upon such arU. cles being in all cases actually forwarded by th? Central Authority, though they consider that this would generally be the most satisfactory arrangement ; but it is indispensable that the sanction of such authority should in all eases be expressly given, and that it be held responsible for the fitness of such articles for exhibitiot ? and for not authorizing the exhibition of a greater quantity than can be accommodated in the speJe assigned to the productions of the country in uu stion." A foil discussion was then had of the subject thus laid before the committee, and, on motion of the Hon, W. W. Seaton, it was? iff solved, That the Committee of five first charged with this subject by the Institute (substituting Mr. Kennedy for Mr. Greenough, wiio is absent) be an Executive Committee to take all necessary steps to carry out the views of the general com mittee. The following gentlemen constitute the Execu tive Committee : Col. Peter Force, Prof. Walter R. Johnson, Prof. Joseph Henry, J. C. G Kennedy, Esq., Capt. Charles Wilkes. On motion? Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to prepare the proceedings of this meeting for publication. And the Committee adjourned CHARLES F. STANSBURY Secretary of the Meeting. N.
