World's Exhibition---Awards.

The New York Tribune has an article on the World's Exhibition, which closed recently, which estimates the total value of the articles exhibited at $500,000,000. It thinks that the Crystal Palace will again be erected at some more remote place than Hyde Park.

In relation to the premiums awarded, the Tribune has the following:

The premiums awarded at this exhibition are bronze medals, of admirable design and workmanship, calculated to perpetuate the memory of the exhibition, and merit of the successful exhibitors, through ages. They are of two kinds—the jury medal, awarded by the several juries to the articles of decided merit exhibited in their respective classes, and the council medals, awarded by the council of Presidents of the several juries, on the recommendation of those juries respectively to their several sections, by those to the council of presidents, and there approved and ratified. Only 169 of these councils have been awarded in all—distributed among the several nations represented in the Exhibition, as follows:

To Great Britain 79. Germany 12, Austria 4, Belgium 2. Tuscany 2, Spain 1. France 50, United States 5. Russia 3. Rome 1, Switzerland 2. Holland 1, Turkey 1.

The five obtained by the citizens of the United States are awarded as follows:

To C. H. McCormick, Chicago, Ill., for his Virginia reaper.
To David Dick, Meadville, Pa., for his anti-friction press.
To Charles Goodyear, New Haven, Conn., for his India rubber fabrics.
To V. Bond & Son, Boston, Mass., for an electric clock.
To Gail Borden, Texas, for his meat biscuit.

Of the jury medals which are awarded by the several juries, subject to the revision only of the section, or group of juries, having kindred classes or departments, and which are intended to indicate and reward decided merit, of whatever kind, we think about 2,000 are awarded, of which 100 will probably fall to the share of citizens of the United States. Of these we have knowledge only of those awarded by the jury on which we served—that of class XXI, for "general hardware, including locks and grates." The Americans to whom medals were awarded by this jury were as follows:

To Day & Newell, New York, for their Parautoptic bank lock.
To W. Adams & Co., Boston, for their combination bank lock.
To McGregor & Lee, Cincinnati, for their improved bank lock.
To G. A. Arrowsmith, New York, for Jenning's permutation lock.
To C. Howland, New York, for his improved bell telegraph.
To Cornelius & Co., Philadelphia, for a bronze chandelier.
To S. C. Herring, New York, for his salamander safe.
To Chilson, Richardson & Co., Boston, for furnaces and stoves.

The cooking ranges of M. Bond & Co., Boston, and Jackson's annunciator, (a substitute for bells in hotels) entered by W. T. Brooks, New York, were voted an honorable mention in the report of this jury. We believe one or two stoves and several other articles, in addition to the above, were adjudged worthy of a medal, but they do not appear on the list now before us, and may have been stricken off on revision.
