Active preparations have lately been made to enable this port to be suitably represented at the forthcoming Philadelphia,, Exhibition. Consegnently skilled Chinese artisans have contributed marvels of carved work and ornamentation, including bed. steada, chaira, cabinets, washstands, stools, picture frames, and wardrobes. All these are elaborately got up, and one bedstead is valued at eight hundred dollars; this latter is a perfect structure of carving and impos- sible dragons. The whole of the collection was on view on Saturday and Sunday, and a well-known resident has taken photogra phis views of some of the principal articles. Vesela in port: U.S.B.
