THE following Despatch with Enclosure, from the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, respecting
the proposed International Exhibition to be held in
Paris, in 1867, is published for general information.
E. W. STAFFORD.

Downing Street,
10th November, 1865.

SIR, -I have the honor to transmit to you, for
your information and guidance, the enclosed copy of
a letter from the Lords of the Committee of Council
on Education on the subject of the representation of
the British Colonies in the Paris Universal Exhibition
of 1867. Annexed to the letter are printed regula-
tions in French and English. In the assignment of
space, their Lordships have been guided by the spaces
occupied in the Exhibitions of 1855, at Paris, and
1862, at London. The space allotted to the Colony
under your government is 300 feet.

It is on every account to be desired that Her
Majesty's Colonies may be well represented in the
approaching Exhibition, and I wish you at once to
take such measures as appear to you most calculated
to further this object. You will observe that the
first step will be to appoint a Committee of Superin-
tendence and a Special Executive Commissioner, to
conduct the correspondence with this country.

I have, &c.,
EDWARD CARDWELL.

The Officer administering
the Government of New Zealand.

Mr. Henry Cole to the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies.

Council of Education,
Kensington Museum, Oct. 9, 1865.

SIR, -I am directed by the Lords of the Committee
of Council on Education to transmit one hundred
copies of the general regulations and classification
issued by the Imperial Commission for the guidance
of intending exhibitors in the International Exhi-
bition to be held in Paris in 1867, and a list of the
several amounts of space which it is proposed to
allot to each Colony.

It being important that the Colonies should be
well represented, my Lords request that you will
move Mr. Cardwell to take, as early as convenient,
such steps as he may consider necessary for drawing
the attention of each Colony to these regulations,
&c., and direct me to observe, that, in making known
the space offered, it should be distinctly understood
that the proposed allotment in each case is nett space,
exclusive of passage room, for which ample provision
has been made, and consequently the entire space
offered may be filled with goods.

My Lords suggest that each Colony should form a
Committee having sufficient experience, and invested
with authority, to secure a due representation of the

industry and resources of the Colony; and that it
should place one special Executive Commissioner in
direct communication with the Science and Art
Department in South Kensington.

It is desirable that each Colony should inform the
Lords of the Committee of Council on Education,
with as little delay as possible, if it will undertake to
fill the space offered; and if not, to state what dimi-
nution in the space may be made.

The Imperial Commission having decided upon a
particular mode of arrangement into classes and
groups, which is set forth in the regulations, the same
principle of arrangement will be adopted by Great
Britain, and it will be necessary that the Colonies
also conform to it. My Lords direct me to request,
that the Executive Commissioner from each Colony
should transmit, before the 1st August, 1866, to the
Science and Art Department, South Kensington, the
space which the Colony proposes to occupy, divided
into the respective ten groups (which several divisions
will be taken as the bases for the final arrangement
in the Exhibition building and park), together with
a list of the names and addresses of the exhibitors in
each class.

My Lords request that all letters from the Colonies
may be addressed to the Secretary, Science and Art
Department, South Kensington, London.

I have, &c.,
HENRY COLE.

The Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
