fairly represent the industry of their fellow-countrymen.

103. Separate space will be allotted to each Foreign Country, within which the Commissioners for that country will be at liberty to arrange the productions entrusted to them in such manner as they think best, subject to the condition that all Machinery shall be exhibited in the portion of the Building specially devoted to that purpose, and all Pictures in the Fine Art Galleries, and to the observance of any general rules that may be laid down by Her Majesty's Commissioners for public convenience.

104. By arrangements made with Her Majesty's Government, all Foreign or Colonial Goods intended for exhibition, sent and addressed in accordance with the Regulations laid down by Her Majesty's Commissioners of Customs, as set forth in Article 108, will be admitted into the country, and allowed to be transmitted to the Exhibition Building without being previously opened, and without payment of any duty. But all Goods which shall not be re-exported at the termination of the Exhibition will be charged with the proper duties, under the ordinary Customs Regulations.

105. Every article sent separately, and every package, must be legibly marked with the name of the foreign country or colony of which it is the produce or manufacture, and, as far as practicable, with the name of the exhibitor or exhibitors.

106. The following is the Form of Address which should be adopted :—

To the Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862.
BUILDING, SOUTH KENSINGTON, LONDON.
From [state Country and Exhibitor's name.]

To prevent loss, miscarriage, or mislaying, articles or packing cases containing them, which occupy less bulk than two cubic feet, should not be sent separately, but packages under such size containing, as far as possible, the same classes of articles, should be transmitted in combination.

108. Her Majesty's Commissioners of Customs have laid down the following regulations upon the importation of goods intended for the Exhibition :—

a. All packages containing goods intended for the International Exhibition of 1862 shall be specially reported as such, and shall be addressed to the Commissioners of the International Exhibition, or to one of their officers, and be consigned to a duly accredited agent, and shall be accompanied with a specification of their contents and value. They shall be separately entered as intended for the International Exhibition, and the agents in passing their entries shall specify the full contents of the packages, together with the value.

b. Such packages as may be landed in London shall be forwarded unopened to the Exhibition in charge of an approved licensed carman, accompanied by a cart note from the landing officer, giving a description of the packages and the marks and numbers thereon; and in the cases where there may be reason to suppose they contain other goods than those for the Exhibition, they shall also be accompanied by a revenue officer.

c. Packages landed at the out-ports shall be forwarded with a similar note by railway or other public conveyance, under seals of office, direct to the Exhibition, the officers at the respective ports taking care that the packages bear no private address, and that the documents relating thereto be immediately forwarded to the proper officers of Her Majesty's Customs stationed at the Exhibition.

d. On the arrival of the goods at the Exhibition, no package shall be opened without the knowledge and consent of the officer of Customs, and if the goods be found to agree with the entry or specification, they will, at once be considered as out of charge of the Customs, the entry or declaration being deemed sufficient for all statistical purposes.

e. In the case of all dutiable goods, an account will be taken by the officers of the Crown at the time of the first opening of the packages, but such deficiencies as may occur within the building from any legitimate or unavoidable cause, the officers being fully satisfied thereof, shall not be charged with duty.

f. That the building be considered, for all practical purposes, a "bonded warehouse;" and that in all cases where dutiable goods shall not be exported, but retained for use in this country, the duty shall be assessed by the officer in charge at the building (and received in the Exhibition by a clerk duly appointed for the purpose), in accordance with the practice now existing in regard to articles found in "passengers' baggage."

g. In the case of dutiable goods for exportation, an entry shall be passed in the Long Room, and bond given for their due exportation; and on the receipt of this
