THE GREAT EXHIBITION .
Among the articles exhibited in Class 3 , under the title of " Substances used in Food , " only one house has contributed specimens . AVe allude to the firm of Batty and Feast , the eminent sauce and pickle manufacturers , Finsbury-pavement . Their pickles and preserves , which are enclosed in large bottles or globes , attracted the marked attention of Her Majesty and the Prince , on the occasion of a late visit to the Exhibition . Formerly such condiments were of foreign invention , and it must be
gratifying to know that we can have all these luxuries furnished b y manufacturers of our own nation , who have increased the number , improved the quality , and cheapened the production of those viands , which minister to our palates and increase our comforts . AVe have seen the articles exhibited by Messrs , Batty and Feast , and ive cannot deny that we have tasted them more than once , and from the specimens we have had of their enterprise and skill , as inventors anil manufacturers , ive have no hesitation in stating that they have no rivals in
the trade . The pickles exhibited being warranted free from deleterious acids , which we believe are too frequently introduced by small pickle merchants , cannot fail to please . Their specimens of vinegar are in the highest state of purity . The salads of extreme brilliancy . There are also some very pretty bottles of preserves . Among others a pine-apple , AA-ith roots and leaves ; an orange tree ; bunches of citron and fruit ; and part of a French olive tree , the only specimen of the kind we have seen in England . The day being rather hot , when we visited the Crystal Palace , we could
not help casting a long and lingering look at a beautiful globe of calves-foot jelly , of which the exhibitors and the original inventors had sent a specimen ; but it was hermetically sealed . Among other novelties is a specimen of a sauce appropriately named in honour of the " Great Exhibition . "
