THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION! Within the building the work still goes, on, but in many departments there are signs of its approaching end. In the United States all is activity ; spaces are allotted, boxes distributed, and the skeleton form of the display can at last be traced. I think the work will be for the most part finished within a fortnight, so that wo shall not be much behind England and France. We shall have the best exhibition we have ever made, except in Art. "Wo shall occupy twice as much space as in Paris, and show a much greater of ol jccts. Switzerland is still the only country in complete order. England and France, by hard work, have nearly finished their portions of the main isles, but their transepts are cumbered with iinopen boxes. The same may be said of Italy, Holland and Germany. In the eastern wing Austria and Hungary take the lead ; in both, but little more is necessary to be done. The gorgeous jewelry and Bohemian crystal of Austria balance in bright effect the incomparable porcelain and pottery of England, at the Bother end. Pausing beforea display of Bohemian crystal, I happened to notice a large printed card, headed "IT. S. A. Customers." ThrD first name on the list was "Sir Hamilton Fish !" Of the Eastern nations, counting Russia as one, Greece and Tunis-are just finishing their work, while Turkey, Persia, Japan and Fj-'Vp" will each requitf about elyht or tC n days more. T! ■ ing Japan. There aro few specimens of natural products, and precisely here the exhibition might have been so rich. Persia lias about one-third of the transept. There Is not a great variety of articles, but they are very well chosen, as illustrations both of the taste and mechanical skill of the people. The first thing which attracts the eye is a collection c f anciont weapons, armor, and articles of luxury. There are casques, brea3t-plates, brassarts and cuisses of steel, exquisitely inlaid with golden arabesques; curious daggers, sabres from the famous forges of Khorassan, cups, bowls and urns which seem to be a mixture of copper and silver, etched and enameled weth elaborate patterns in black— evidently the early models of the similar Russian work of Tula and smaller articles, studded with gems. There are also old musical instruments, mandolins, dulcimers and drums, and a few specimens of illuminated poems ou parchment. The cases containing carpets are a pure delight to the eye. The figures are small and not very elaborate; there is usually one prevailing tint, rarely brilliant in itself, but made so by the most wonderful and harmoniouBjCOut'asts, as of late Autumn leaves oil a ground of fading giass.

Jan 1 7 * W II O L E SALE CROC E R S, NOS. 42 4 44 MURRAY STREET, Vienna, May -0.—The fine weutlier continues, and a new spirit comes over the World's Show, and everything connected with it. The arrangement of articles within the great building is now so far advanced that the completion of the lacking departments can make but little difference in the general effect. Having seen all the memorable Exhibitions of tho kind since the first in Hyde Park, in 1851, I venture to sketch the characteristic features of each, in the way of comparison. As a single grand picture, no liing has since equaled the World's Fair in Hyde Park, the building, 1,600 feet long, witli all its treasures of art and industry, was visible at one glance, and from every part of it. In machinery and crude products it was deficient. Eastern Europe and the Orient were scmitly represented ; but all that was displayed so filled the great space that it produced an impression of infinite richness and variety. The first Paris Exhibition of 1855, and the Second London if 18(32 were crowded and lather bewildering. The building* were high, with uppergalleiies for the lighter ware-", the architecture was pretentious and not particularly imposing, and there was scarcely space enough in either fc.r the visitors to move with comfort on a crowded day. I only saw the Fair Building in New York, at tho end of 1853, after most of the oods had been removed. In design, it was much superior to either of the former, although so much smaller in dimension. For practical arrangement there has been nothing like the Paris Exposition of 1867. The general effect was sacrificed to this feature, no doubt wisely. The concentric ellipses beginning with machinery at the outside and ending with the fine arts in the center, each country cutting through them like a broader or narrower slice of pie, formed a plan which was instantly understood; and knowing it., each visitor could find exactly what he wanted to see. There were no imposing vistas, no grand combinations of form and color, but a thoroughly scientific order. It was also a fuller representation of tho industry of all nations than any of the exhibitions which preceded it. From the Tribune Dealer in Foreign and Domestic Robt. Seaman, cam! J.

H '72—ly O/i4*DT0X STEAM The Roumonian show is mainly remarkable for its display of costumes, the color and fashion of which would alone explaiu the geographical location of the people. All the articl.s are a cross between those of Russia on the one side and Turkey on the other; the Latinism of the people only remains in their language. White, scarlet, and blue are the favorite colors, and gold embroidery is lavishly used. The woven fabrics are about on a par with those ofTurkey, but the leather seemed to me superior. It is a gay. glittering department, very pleasant to look at, and at least not fatiguing if less important than some of the others. The crowdcd little court of Tunis has not been changed, whence I infer that it is complete ; but Egypt and Central Africa, beyond, are still invisible behind a high board fence. A.

Entering the eastern front, you have Japan 011 tlie left, recognized at once by its huge brazen dolphin and its great pendant lanterns. A little more has been opened since I last visited it—a large collection of cabinets and boxes of inlaid wood, together with some of the rarer varieties of lacquer-work. AfteT making a second and closer examination, I still find that the bronzes and embroidered silks are most worthy of notice. The objects in porcelain, lacquer, jade, and crystal arc already familiar to us. There is a curious of ancient Japanese armor, of steel and leather, with saddle and trappings; also some old weapons and other objects which seem lo possess a historical interest, since in any other respect they are neitlur rich nor rare. In the character of the paintings displayed, the Japanese show that they have learned to appreciate thetasteof other nations. Instead of their twisted and conventionally grotesque ladies and gentlenten, they exhibit simple but exquisitely drawn pictures of fish, birds, water-plants, and blossoming sprays. There is also a very quaint and charming procession of grasshoppers, some carrying blades of grass as spear8 and little blossoms as standards, while four bear a close palanquin of leaves, containing, perhaps, the Grasshopper Queen. A favorite subject of tile Japanese artists is a cock, hen and brood of chicks, grouped with real dramatic skill. Among the trinkets I noticed some hair-pins of amber, the ends of which blossomed into feathery orchis-flowers, of a delicacy and beauty which reaily cannot be described. There was also a .landscape, made by cutting through a broad, thifl ...Vet of wood, in the manner of those lamp-.D.',ai'.es 011 which the objects are brought out bj1 fCh#d ows more or less strong. This, ot course, is "trick," rather than art, but it is exceedingly well done. Carriage & Harness Makers.

Jan I '73 PITTSTON, TA IpAllMEllS, DAIKYMEN, AND BUTTER BUYERS I Pack Your Butter in WESGOTVS Commission Merchants, Here the first characteristic which strikes a visitor is the vast scale upon which the show lias been arranged. Yet, although the main building is nearly double the length of that in Hyde Park, it produces nothing like the effect. Owing to the comparative lowness of the wings, and the great bight of the show-frames and temples and pyramids which fill them, the eye finds no vista. Your aching feet tell you the distances you traverse, but your vision is constantly checked, bewildered, and deceived. Even the Rotunda, which gains by its vast span nearly all which it loses by its squatty character, is deformed by the strange, irregular, inharmonious piles of productions cumbering its floCr. Scarcely one of the transepts is visible from its junction with the wing to its extremity. On the other hand, the space between the canes is so ample that 50,000 persons might circulate within the building without much jostling. Machinery having its own ball, Agriculture its dozen special pavilions, and Art its detached temple, the internal arrangement is greatly simplified, and will be found sufficiently practical. While America and Western Europe are at least as well represented as on former occasions, all east of a liuo Clrawn from the Rhine to ({&'■ Mediterranean, with Egypt, the Orient uSii Asia, make their best and most varied This will be the main point of distinction between the present and ail the former "World'sFairs." At Paris, in 1807, the idea of illustrating the architecture of di tie re at countries by detached buildings was, for the first time, carried into effect. Here the attempt is repeated, and on a much larger scale, since the available space is three or four times as great. The limits of the Champ do Mars, however, whita they crowded the edifices much nearer together, rendered it possible to t rn the intervening space into a finished park. In the Prater this cannot be done. Only the square of six or eight acres between the South Portal and the Rotunda, and the smaller gardencourt between the Eatst Portal and the Hall of Art, are carefully laid out and set with shrubbery and flowers. All the rest of the very extensive grounds is in a comparatively rough state, and must remain so. The soil is a loose sanda deposit of the Danube, so low that it holds water like a sponge when it rains, aud turns into fine dust after two or three days of sun. Nevertheless, the two or three hundred scattered buildings, when finished, will form by far the most picturesque and interesting of the exhibition to most a WAN HOTEL, j?} PITTSTON, PA.

Mar27--'73 | Perhaps the most noticeable item in the imports of Great Britain just now, is bar iron, made by direct processes and in.ported because its c st is less than of English bars. At a late meeting of the Manchester Philosophical Society, Mr. Brockbanu, 5\ G. S;, exhibited specimens of iron manufactured by tlie old Bohemi.in process from Hematite ores in the South of Europe. Similar iron has also recently been sent to England from Japan, the high price now 1 j'ing having attracted supplies of iron 1. distant countries. The specimens exhibited cost only Xff per ton for the bloom and £S per ton for the finished bar. The sizes of the bars are, however, very small ; but it is a remarkable fact that 011 so small a scale iron of tli-j very highest quality can be made and sold at half the price of English bars made 011 the largest scale with all tlie advantages of our modern machinery and appliances It is believed that this iron is made by a similar process to that followed by the Romans in Britain, the remains of furnaces, or "bloomeric-s" of F.n-nerdale Lake being of this class.
