Switzerland sends a small and indifferent lot ofwoollen productions.

Turret forwards a small assortment, tolerably goodfor a first attempt.

Holland contributes a few coarse woollens.

Portugal exhibits a pretty good variety, but of veryprimitive character.

Canada shows but few woollen goods.

SouTn Australia. —From Sydney are exhibited threepieces of f-tweeds, manufactured by J. Walker, whichdeserve great praise, as coming from a young colony, andcertainly show that with a few such men, aided by capitaland machinery, the colonies might soon be made to pro-duce many of their absolute necessaries of this description.

Three exhibitors arid manufacturers of woollen clothsare members of this Jury, and are therefore not strictlywithin their cognizance, or eligible for any award. TheJury, however, desire to record their opinion of the goodsexhibited by them. These exhibitors are:—

Cooper, D. and J., of Leeds. (42, Classes XII. andXV., p. 4S6.)

Randoing, J., Abbeville, France. (No. 973, France ,p. 122G.) The principal of one of the oldest establish-ments for the manufacture of woollen cloths in thatcountry.

Simonis, E., Belgium (464, Belgium , p. 1166),—whopresents a particularly beautiful assortment of piece-dyedblacks for exportation, of permanent dye and finish.

Each of these gentlemen would have been entitled to aPrize Medal for the excellence of his productions, had henot been a member of the Jury.

The Jury have carefully examined all the woollen goodsin the Exhibition—a task which has been much prolongedby the non-attendance, in due time, of any Juror from theZollverein, Russia, or Austria , to explain or give informa-tion as to prices. This was a source of great difficulty;but after a long and patient investigation, the Jury havecome to the resolution to award Prize Medals to the fol-lowing manufacturers and exhibitors:—
