The Paris Exhibition:—It will be seen from the official list of awards at the Paris Exhibition that Messrs. Huntley Palmer, biscuit manufacturers of Reading and London,) have obtained the Grand Prize, the only one awarded to the biscuit trade. honour it appears is further enhanced by the complimentary terms of the jurors' report. which was as follows:—"Unrivalled " House, known throughout the world for its enormous production, and for the excellent quality of its manufacturers." Messrs. J. Moir & Son, the preserved provision merchants of London and Aberdeen, have, it appears, gained the highest Award obtainable at the Paris Exhibition, the Gold Medal. This enterprising firm' appears to take great care that all their goods shall be of undoubted quality, as the following instance is sufficient to show. It appears that for several years the oranges from Seville have arrived in bad order—a large portion quite unfit for use. Under these circumstances Messrs. Moir & Son have opened a factory of their own at Seville, where in future their marmalade will be made from oranges fresh gathered from the gardens.
