[CIRCULAR.]

Downing Street, 25th October, 1872.
SIR, -I transmit to you a copy of a letter from Her
Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851,
enclosing copies of Rules for the exhibition of
Carriages in the International Exhibition of next
year, together with a copy of a paper issued by the
Society of Arts offering Prizes for improved Cabs,
and expressing the desire of Her Majesty's Com-
missioners to obtain an extensive display of Woods
used in the building of Carriages, and especially in
the making of Wheels.

I have to request that you will give the enclosed
communication every publicity in the Colony under
your government; and that you will render such
assistance as may be in your power in carrying out
the wishes of Her Majesty's Commissioners.

I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

Major-General Scott to the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies.

Upper Kensington Gore, London, W.,
21st October, 1872.

SIR, -I am directed by Her Majesty's Commissioners
for the Exhibition of 1851, to point out, for the
information of the Earl of Kimberley, that carriages
not connected with rail or tram roads will form one
of the Classes of the Exhibition next year. In
connection with this Class, Her Majesty's Commis-
sioners desire to obtain an extensive display of woods
used in the building of carriages, and especially in
the making of wheels.

It being generally acknowledged that the woods
grown in the Colonies, and especially in Canada, are
particularly suitable for such manufactures, Her
Majesty's Commissioners are of opinion that a very
interesting and instructive collection might be made
for exhibition in Class 11 of the International
Exhibition of 1873.

Her Majesty's Commissioners direct me, therefore,
to request you to move the Earl of Kimberley to be
so good as to express to the Governor General of the
Dominion of Canada their hope that His Excellency
will be able to afford them his valuable assistance,
by securing an adequate display of this important
branch of Colonial productions.

I am to add, that if the peculiar adaptability for
the construction of carriages of each description of
wood forwarded for exhibition was stated on labels,
the collection would become of considerable ad-
vantage to the coach-building trade in England, as
well as of additional interest to the general public.

I am further directed to call your attention to the
prizes offered by the Society of Arts for the improve-
ment of cabs, and I am to ask you to be so good as
to move the Earl of Kimberley to cause the contents
of the papers relating to this subject to be made
known in the Colonies.

I have, &c.,
HENRY Y. D. Scorr,
Major-General,
Secretary.

The Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies, Colonial Office.
