EXPOSITION DE L'INDUSTRIE FRANCAISE.
Several Frank manufacturers have sent over a collection of specimens of their work, to be exhibited in London under the direction of M. Sallan- drouze de la Mornaix, member of the Acting Council of Manufactures in France, and a great manufacturer. The exhibition is probably intended to stimulate consumption in this country; writers in the Morning Post complain that it is intended as a direct mart for wares in competition with English tradesmen. It occupies five rooms, and comprises bronzes and ornamental metal-work, cabinet-work, bookbinding, tapestry, carpets, Lyons stuffs, paper-hangings, lace-work, shawls, boots and shoes with no- sewn soles, and machinery. The carpets and tapestry, the furniture, and other articles of luxury or taste, are very beautiful. The machinery occu- pies a comparatively small portion of the space, but includes an ingenious and effective improvement of the carding. machine.
