COLOURED WOVEN COTTONS—JURY AWARDS.

[Class XI.

Muslins, &c.

Very good specimens of muslins (tarlatan, book, mull,lawn, &c.) are exhibited from Glasgow, Switzerland , andFrance, and of jacconot and cambric muslin from Man-chester and Saxony. The British goods are suitable forthe Indian and American , as well as the home markets.The plain muslins exhibited by native merchants of Dacca have great merit, especially when the rude mode of pro-duction is considered; but their cost is relatively high,and the finish universally defective; the yarn too isuneven, and frequently overtwisted.

In figured harness muslins, Scotland, Saxony, Switzer-land, and France , exhibit articles of considerable beautyand utility, at comparatively low cost.

Coloured Woven Cottons.

In ginghams, the large exhibition from Glasgow , Car-lisle, France, Switzerland, the Zollverein, and Belgium ,shows that the manufacture of these useful articles hasreceived great attention, and attained great perfection inall those countries.

An interesting collection of woven checked goods isexhibited from India and the Archipelago , many of thembeing the originals from which the European manufactures(now much superior) have been copied.

In the class of goods submitted to their inspection,although many of them are of very great excellence, andevince the application of great skill, taste, and industryin their production, the Jury have found nothing possess-ing the pre-eminent merit which would induce them torecommend the award of a Council Medal. In the perform-ance of their duties they have endeavoured to avoidmaking any invidious distinctions, or using any expres-sions which might tend to injure the interests or thefeelings of the exhibitors.
