A Trip To Vienna

Frnm tho New York World. Several inquines have reaced us as to t'io prorammo which may bjst be ioïlowcd by partios or individuáis vrishing to iittend the Vienna Exposition. next lumincr, and the following items of route nnd jjrobable expense wili be founrt to contain muoh ot' the information needed. Of course tho ooep-n passage is a question for cvery niaifc'a ewn decisión. í?erhaps tlie pleasantest and most convenient route is to Paris vin, Havre, though the Hamburg and Bremen stoamers afford advantages about the same. Should the Paria route be decidod upon, sleeping cirs can be taken at thiit city lor uenn which run through without change niaking th passage in thirty-six hours. From tho traveling centers of Vienna the trip to tbo Prater is no more than the tr p frora tho City Hall to the American Instituto Fair building. The Prater is northwcst of the city, and a line of cars propelled by a statiouary engine will run during the exhibition as frequontly, as its travel should deuiand; or the walk ia pljnfa-it and short, For i American exhibiters tho arrangement of the departments is peeitfiarly convenient. To the United Staies is cCllotted the extreme western, división of : both the main building (Palace of Industry) and the Hall of Maohinery, being that portion of the fair searest the Vienna road, and throngb, which the exhibiter or visitor musí pasa before reaching the departnents of other natious. The Exposition, as we have already noticed, will open on the lst of May noxt, and closa on the lst of November. The United States transport steamers-will leave New York with such goocfe as we may send for exhibitioa, probably in February next. - Bxcept the United States, all nations to be represented have alretidy applicationB more than sufEcient to fill the space as8igiicd to lliem. The backwardness of American exhibitcrs is.according to Comínissioner Van Baren, attributable to on opposition movemont made in the interosts of tah "patent ring," which, desirouB maintaining its monopoly of tho sale of vuluüble foreign patenta in Europe, has givnn curreney to statements to the following effect, viz.: That every patentod articlo put on exhibition at Vienna thoreby fcvfeits its patent, and may be copied by any ono. The exhibition of valuable patents at so widely attended a fair brings the owner at once into direct contact with crowds of purchasers all over the world, and tha business of the patent broker is thus interfercd with. Gen. Van Bnron declares that this widely spread statement has no grounds whatever. To every exbibiter the Austrian Government grants a complete protection of bis patent for the time of its exliibition. which may at any timo be exchanged for a patent on the payment of eleven dollars. This patent is issued under tho law of the country, and grants protection tor Mie space ot ono year, ai tha expiraïion of which timo, if the article patented be not manufactured, its patent is re-assumed by the govornraent. The question of the expense of attending the Exhibition has been asked. This ngain, of course, is a variable quantity. A'spooial steamer will loave New York on the 28th of June next, earrying a party of teachers on a so-called educational tftur tlirough Scotland, Englaud, BelgiumTthe Ehino district and Bavaria, to tlie World's fair at Yienna, returning . ria Switzcrland and Paris. This party will pass imieh timo at Vienna, and visit near!y all places of interest in continental Europn and Great Biitain. lts memVors are liniited to teachers, but its pnce list shows what rutes maybe made profitnble should any large party bo fo'rmed. Tho round trip, every neeessary expense iucludcd, cosis $100, gold, tho party returning August IJlst.
