( From. the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES.—The standard has fallen below 1207., on a produce of 6 ; and it seems quite futile attempting to form an opinion of the price of copper for the next week. We have heard it seed that the smelters are driven to their present course owing to the large quantities of ores sent into the market by two or three of the large mines. But we apprehend the secret does not lie in this, though it may suit the purposes of some parties to say so. The increase in the sales from many of the large mines has been caused by sampling large quantities of refuse ores which have been accumulating for years, and looked upon as of no value, but which the high price of copper of late ren dered saleable. The supply from this source must soon cease. Lead is much higher in America ; and, there fore, we may still hope fur good prices here. In the Share Market, notwithstanding the price of copper, a large business has been transacted this week, especially in Alfred Consols, at 13/. 10s. to 191., and the market very firm. In the Metal Market, Copper maintains its price, not withstanding the late drop in the standard. This natu rally inspires the miner with hopes of a speedy rally again.—Tin is firmer, though not extensively dealt in.— Banca sales have been e - f . ncted, at 2s. per cwt, advance. —Plates are at a stand still for the present.—Lead is a trifle easier.—Spelter ejuite neglected. Manufactured iron continues in excellent demand, and no variation as to price, although Scotch Pigs are down again to 495. 6d. to 50s. per ton, at Glasgow ; altogether prices are very satisfactory and remunerative. In the Bullion Market,—Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, 4s. 11 d. per oz. Bar silver containing gold, all gold above five grains in the pound to be paid for, ss. ld. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. Id. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. Spanish doubloons, 78s. per oz. Columbian doubloons, 765. 6d. per oz. American eagles, 765. 6d. per oz. The gold mining share market this week has been cha racterised with great flatness, arising from the absence of business. Notwithstanding the favourable news from California prices have not been enhanced. There has been a demand for Nouveau Monde, Agua. Fria, Colo nial Gold, and Peel River ; these are the only shares that have been freely dealt in, and every other descrip tion may be regarded as quiescent. On Monday the mar ket was well supported ; Yuba River was, however, flat. On Tuesday Ave Maria was firmer ; Great Nugget was 11 to 2 prem., and Peel River had risen to 4i to 5 prem., consequent on influential buying. On Wednes day, however, there was a re-action in these shares. On Thursday there was a total absence of demand, and sellers preponderated, and the same feature may be said to have characterised the market until the close yesterday evening. The Agua Fria Company have received advices from Mr. Atwood, stating that the Agua, Fria Mine appeared worthy of working. The remittances from Gold Hill have been delayed on account of tile floods. The Gold Hill Com pany have recovered damages from the parties who had robbed them of the auriferous dirt. The Ave Maria Company have received ad vices per Arctic of their machi nery being on its way up to the mine, and their agent was preparing to ship to .this country a cargo of the valu able quartz ore, and to continue such shipments until their machinery was in operation.

At ten a.m. the Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele was filled with troops and National Guards in full uniform. The Munici pality had caused an altar to be erected under the peristyle of the cathedral, over which was the inscrip tion :—" 4th of March, 1848." The King arrived on horseback, accompanied by the Prince of Carignan and his military household. The Queen arrived in a carriage with the Prince of Piedmont, who wore the uniform of a colonel of the National Guard. Immediately after the arrival of their Majesties, the religious ceremony commenced, at which the Ministers, the Presidents and deputations of the Chambers, the Mayor and Municipality of Turin, the chief public functionaries, and the whole diplomatic body, were present. After the conclusion of the ceremonies, their Majesties and all the high personages above-mentioned, proceeded to the Piazza Castello, where the King, placing himself under the balcony of the palace, reviewed the National Guards and the troops. The students, the pupils of the schools and colleges, and processions of workmen, also filed off before him. The Queen and the Prince of Piedmont witnessed the imposing scene from the balcony. The city was universally and brilliantly illuminated in the evening. TheParlamertio of Turin quotes a letter froni Rome of the sth, containing some curious details respecting the Rota Romana, or Civil Tribunal of Rome, from which it would seem that the proverbial longevity of law-suits and verbosity of counsel have been there reduced to the smallest possible expression. The defence of a case must be sent in to the judges twenty-four hours before judgment is pronounced ; it must not exceed five sheets of stamped paper. The rejoinders cannot exceed one sheet, and they must be written in the course of the night preceding the judgment. The three last sittings of the year are called Rota conculcate (compressed, or what might be termed steeplechase sittings), because every prelate on the bench has a right to propose six judgments, so that it often happens that from 50 to 60 sentences are pronounced at that period in a few hours.

(From, the Leeds Mercury of this day.) The imports of wool into London during the week ending to-day have been 6,087 bales, of which 2,126 bales were from Port Philip, 1,810 from Sydney, 1,263 from Van Diemen's Land, 357 from Germany, 274 from Bombay, 71 from France, and 51 from Belgium. In the foreign wool trade sales have been compara tively limited this week, owing, probably, to the near approach of the London auctions ; but the expectation that last sales' rates will at least be fully supported, gives a firm tone to prices in this market. In the English w.-,01 market there has been no change in the demand this week. Prices are firm and stationary. In the Liverpool wool market there is a fair demand for wool, at full prices. Imports the past week have been--173 Buenos Ayres, 174 Alpaca, 220 Venice, Smyrna, and Malta. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—The markets have been rather flat and depressed in their character this week : a general opinion prevails that goods are getting too dear to com mand a brisk trade, hence the merchants are very care ful in their transactions, and unless the manufacturers offer an inducement by accepting lower prices they scarcely purchase anything beyond their present require ments. There has consequently been only a moderate business done in the Cloth-halls ; for the manufacturers generally keep pretty firm to their prices, knowing well that if wool maintains its present prices at the coming sales, they cannot replacc their present goods at lower rates. The stock of cloth in the market is on the in crease, but we believe the mills in the clothing district are not quite so active as they were ; evidently the manufacturers are conducting their operations with caution. The London wool sales commence on the 19th ; there are 35,000 hales to be offered. The question— " how will they go ?" is engaging considerable attention. Without venturing to hazard an opinion, we may say, that well-informed parties expect that about last sales' prices will be maintained. We hope, for the general and permanent interests of the trade, that higher rates will not be the rule. The demand for the home trade is now supplied; there has consequently been very few buyers in the town during thi:: week, and business is generally dull and quiet in those Varehouses that are principally engaged in that branch of the trade. There is a good business doing by some of the shipping houses in heavy goods. ROCHDALE. —The flannel market has been thinly attended, and there has been a more limited demand for pieces. The manufacturers have shown no disposition to purchase wool but for immediate use only. Many are of opinion that wool has arrived at its highest point, and are determined to work up what they have on hand, as the new clip will now be shortly in the market. BRADFORD.—On the whole we think the market was flatter, with less doing than usual. There is little doing in alpacas. Prices continue as they were ; and in wools there is as little doing as possible, all parties being dis posed to wait till after the clip before they purchase freely of the spinners, and most, we believe, have a tole rable stock of wool laid in. HALIFAX.—Our market has exhibited an exceedingly quiet aspect in all its various branches. The price of wool keeps very firm, the demand being chiefly for com mon qualities, of which there is not a plentiful supply. The time sorts are very plentiful, and most difficult to move. HOSIERY, LEICESTER.—The same active demand con tinues in all branches of tho hosiery trade, except in woollen sorts for the home market. Large quantities of worsted yarns are being delivered to order. The cotton market continues brisk, and blue grey sorts are espe cially scarce. Wools are equally stiff, and are a shade higher, particularly thr noils and brokes. WHITSUNTIDE EXCURSION TRAINS.—This morning the Whitsuntide excursion trains, at reduced fares, to and from the metropolis, commenced running on the several lines of railway, and return or double journey tickets were issued on the principal lines, which will be available on the London and North-Western, Great Northern, and Great Western, -until the 21st instant, and on the South-Eastern, &c., only until the 18th instant ; on the North Sent Railway, and for short journeys to Windsor, Richmond, Barnet, Harrow, &c., those issued to-day are only available to-morrow, and in some cases on Monday ; as usual on the Greenwich and Blackwall Railways, no double journey tickets are issued. The greatest activity prevailed at the various metropolitan termini this morn ing, and some thousands of persons availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them of taking the country air; so numerous were the passengers, that additional car riages had to be provided for their accommodation, and the short up trains loaded equally as well. The directors of the London and North-Western Railway have com menced running the Irish tourists' excursion trains ; those conveyances were found last year to yield a hand some per centage, and it is anticipated that this season the traffic will be much more extensive, in consequence of the Dublin Exhibition. SAILORS' ORPHAN GIRLS' SCHOOL AND HOME.—The annual meeting of this excellent institution was held at the Hanover•square Rooms yesterday ; Vice-Admiral Lord Radstock, C. 8., in the chair. The orphans were addressed in an affecting manner by the Rev. Dr. Marsh, and afterwards the Rev. Canon Champneys gave the rewards for faithful service. The noble chairman ex pressed a wish to see the School Home removed to a more open neighbourhood—for instance, near Green wich ; and the meeting was called upon to renewed libe rality to secure so desirable an object, as well as to sup ply the want of provision for this class of orphans. The report of the committee adverted to the cheering fact of two new auxiliaries being formed, the one at Brighton for the rthe p o a t s h t e y r e a a r t ( D r e o s v u e l o ; g andannounced from m theeff or ts to raise contributions this as a national institution) of 3,025/. 11s., which, deduct ing payments, left a balance of 2,4991. 3s. ld. The report being unanimously adopted, the meeting was addressed by Admiral Vernon Harcourt, the Venerable Archdea con Robinson, the Rev. Canon Champneys, the Rev. Edward Auriol, Major Little, and others, i n su pp ort o f resolutions expressing the necessity for renewed exertion towards making this a national asylum, so much needed since the dissolution or abandonment of the school for sailors' orphan girls, at Greenwich Hospital. After a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, the meeting sepa rated. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL• WAY.—On Thursday evening, a fatal accident occurred on this line of railway to a man whose name we have not yet been able to ascertain, under the following cir cumstances :—The main line of the Great Northern Railway crosses the Lincoln and Nottingham branch of the Midland, between Newark and Carlton, and, at about seven o'clock, a person was observed standing on the former line, and watching a luggage train which was leaving Newark for Nottingham, when at the same in , stant the No. 10 down passenger train came up at a considerable speed on the Great Northern line, and be fore the unfortunate man could get out of the way he was dashed to pieces. His remains, of which no less than twenty parts were picked up, were collected toge ther and taken to Newark, where they await the coro ner's inquest. Several of the passengers witnessed the accident, and were horrified at the mangled state of the corpse. THE BRIDGE OF SPEY.—This bridge has unfortunately been attacked by dry-rot, and it has been pronounced unsafe to vehicles and cattle. Notice to this effect have been issued, and mealmres are being taken for its im mediate repair. The bridge is still open to pedestrians who choose to risk themselves in crossing it. —lnverness Courier. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin of the 11th, in th e C o l ogne Gazette, says :—" The Second Chamber adopted yester• day by 162 votes to 112 the bill to augment the duty on malt. The Court of Appeal yesterday decided a case of some interest in press matters. M. Strauss had published some letters of a political nature through the agency of the bookseller Hertz. As the author was absent from the country, the law officers of the Crown proceeded against M. Hertz, as the publisher, for laze majeste, before tho municipal tribunal. The tribunal declared itself incompetent, affirming that the matter ought to be brought before a jury. The law officers appealed against this decision, but the Upper Court confirmed the judgment of the municipal tribunal. Prince Puckler-Muskau, in coming down the steps of the railway terminus, two days ago, on arriving here from Potsdam, fell and luxated his shoulder. The King of Belgium and the Duke of Brabant have reached Vienna. They met with a cordial reception from the Imperial family. The Emperor and the. Arc hdukes waited for their arrival at the railway terminus. The King took up his quarters in the Hotel of 'the Bel gian Legation. The Queen of Greece, too, has arrived at Vienna. THE BEULAH SPA.—These delightful and extensive pleasure gardens open on Whit Monday, for the season. During the recess the spirited lessee, Mr. Masters has at great expense considerably improved their natural capabilities. We understand it is the intention of the proprietor to offer the most select amusements to render the gardens a desirable place of retreat to those who visit the Crystal Palace and the neighbourhood. The short distance from the gigantic palace of glass renders it highly advantageous to the public, it being within ten minutes' walk. LEGACY AND STAMP DIITIES.—A Parliamentary paper, published on Thursday, contains a return obtained through Mr. J. Hume, of the amount of capital on which legacy duty has been paid in the years 1851 and 1852. The same paper contains similar returns of the duty on legacies, pro bates, and administrations paid in Ireland in 1851, and of the total amount of revenue received in the United King dom, in 1851 and 1852 for stamp duties on legacies, probates, administrations, and testam en tary inven tories. The said returns show the following totals : Capital in Great Britain on which legacy duty was paid in 1852, 46,552,3551. 3s. 10d. ; legacy duty paid thereon, 1,308,0551. 35. ; total amount of capital on which said duty has been paid since 1797, 1,657,064,075/.05.2d., and total amount of duty paid within that period on such capital, 47,401,273/. 9s.

SHOCKING SUICIDE OE A YOUNG LADY.—On Wednes day night a young ladfacommitted suicide under circum stances which have created a painful sensation in Preston. The deceased, Fanny Crosby, was the daugh ter of the proprietor of the London and Paris House, an extensive drapery establishment in the Fishergate, and was 21 years of age. We understand that she was a very clever and accomplished girl, and that excessive study is believed to have affected her intellect. She has latterly been in the habit of putting her feet in water several times during the day, apparently with the view of relieving her head, of which she frequently complained. About six o'clock on Wednesday evening, the deceased left home, attired for a walk. At half-past eight, a young man, named William Holliday, was proceeding along the bank of the Ribble (a favourite promenade, close to to the town), when he observed a female, who proved to be Miss Crosby, sitting on some stones, which projected into the river, with her legs in the water. Some ether persons came up, and Holliday directed their attention to the singular position of the deceased, and they all went towards her. A young woman who was passing exclaimed, "Let's go down, and see what she is about." Immediately upon nearing this the deceased plunged into the water, which is a considerable depth at that spot, and was carried down by the strength of the stream. Half an' hour elapsed before the body was recovered, by which time life was extinct. The deceased had her boots on, but had taken off her mantle, bonnet, and veil. She was seen walking near the same place between five and six o'clock on Wednesday morning. Yesterday an inquest was held on the body by Mr. Myres, when the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."

The discount accommodation has fallen off both in Paris and in the departments, in the former about 8 millions, and in the latter 6i millions. The advances on rentes have increased about half a million in Paris, and have dimin ished about three-fourths of a million in the provinces. The advances on railway securities show an increase of upwards of 5 millions in Paris, and a decrease of about three-fourths of a million in the branch banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have in creased nearly 1 million in the Paris Bank, and fallen off about three-fourths of a million in those of the de partments. The account-current of the Treasury has increased 1 millions. Private accounts-current show an augmentation of 21 millions in Paris, and one of less than a fourth of a million in the branch banks. The whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present 5111 millions to 6691 millions of notes in circulation. It is reported that news has been received in Paris by the Indian mail of dreadful disasters having occurred at Madras. A hurricane took place in the night of the 27th to 28th of March, which caused a great deal of damage. About sixty vessels, with their crews, were totally lost—twenty large vessels and forty coasters. The greatest number were French. The Courrier du Havre says :—"W e learn from a positive source that the removal of the fortifications of Havre has been decided on by the Emperor. The pre sent fortifications will be replaced by two forts con structed on the heights—one at the western extremity of the hill of Ingouville, and the other on the heights of Tourneville. These forts will not be united by any enceinte continue. A third fort will be subsequently built on the Place de Provence, and some works of de fence will cover the town. From the present the condi tions imposed on the owners of property adjacent to the fortifications will cease. The existing fortifications will be destroyed, according as the new ones may be suffici ently advanced to protect the town. In the meantime new ways of communication will be opened through the fosses, if demanded. Thus the Emperor realises the hopes which he caused us to conceive." At the Bourse yesterday there had been but little business transacted in Government securities, and the closing quotations show scarcely any variation from those reported on Thursday, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash, and the Three per Cents. for the account remaining unchanged, with a rise of 10c. in the Three per Cents. for money, and a fall of se. in the Four-and a-Half per Cents. for the end of the month. Bank of France Shares remained unchanged. Closing prices : For cash—Three per Cents., 811. 75c. ; Four-and-a Half per Cents., 104 f. For the account—Three per Cents., 81f. 85c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 104 f. 25c. Bank Stock, 2,730 f. No change occurred in Mortgage Bank Shares, which are still quoted at 885 f. ; in those of the Soci4t4 Mobiliere there was an advance of 16f., closing at 956 f. An improvement in business took place in the railway share-market to-day, transactions being numerous at a general advance in prices. Paris and Rouen Shares rose 20f. ; Orleans, llf. ; and Caen and Cherbourgs, 10f., whilst there was an increase of if. to 7f. in the shares of the remaining lines. The final quo tations were :—Northerns, 930 f. ; Paris and Orleans, I,llBf. 50c. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 940 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 967 f. 50e. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,165 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 850 f. ; Western of France, 800 f. 50e. ; Rouen and Havre, 552 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 671 f. ; Caen and Cherbourg, 650 f. SPAIN. There is not a single line of political news in the Madrid journals of the Bth. The Espana warns the public against placing implicit credit in the telegraphic dispatchs sent from that city by private individuals ; and it denies the statements made in two of them re ceived in Paris some days ago, that the meeting of the Cortes has been fixed for July next (the Cabinet not having yet, it says, deliberated on the question), and that dissensions have arisen amongst the ministers. Accounts from Havannah had been received to the 14th ult. ; they were to the effect that 47 condemned prisoners had been sent off to Cadiz, and that the regiment which had revolted at Santiago de Cuba had been dispersed in different parts of the island. The Bth being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. All accounts dated May 9th state that the Count de San Luis does not accept the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. TURKEY. The desemblee Nationale has the following on the telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, which states that Prince Menscbikoff had sent in an ultimatum to the Porte : " All the speculators for a fall dwelt strongly yester day at the Bourse on the gravity of the telegraphic dispatch from Vienna published this morning, and which announces that Prince Menschikoff had presented an ultimatum on the subject of the affair of the Patriarchate. The word `ultimatum' caused terror in the minds of the timid, and little was required to cause a panic. We cannot too strongly warn the public against ungrouned alarm to which the news of their private telegraph ex poses them. Thei people who sent these dispatches are not great diplomatists, and they have only one object, which is to give accounts which cause a great sensation. It is ridiculous to let ourselves be deceived by them. As regards the affair of the east, we will not cease to repeat that the Emperor of Russia has given positive assurances to the English Government that the mission of Prince Men schikoff had only one object—the regulation of the ques tion of the Holy Places. That was the only point on which the Russian diplomatist had orders to insist, and, if necessary, to menace. This affair is now, it appears, completely settled. How and on what conditions ? This is what we can only know when it shall please the Government to explain itself. As to the affair of the Pa triarchate of the Greeks we know not, and we do not be li;:ve that any one knows exactly, what are the exigencies of Russia. But what appears to us certain, from the language h e ld at S t. Petersburgh to the Ambassador of England, is that this question of the Patriarchate will never have for result to bring about a rupture of Russia with Constantinople, and a conflict between the powers which have guaranteed the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. The dispatch from Vienna appears to us there fore The t o li s o s u el t v i a m to p r o e r r ta ri n es ce t . i ' no ' Scutari of the 23d ult., stating that three guns which had been taken by the Montenegrins in the late war, have been restored to the Turks, and brought back to Scu tari.

The Hungarian re- HIE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. DUBLIN, FRIDAY. ! Yesterday was regarded as a "great day for Ireland," and we trust that such it will prove. The Exhibition has been opened under most favourable auspices. The weather all day had been beautifully fine, and therein was secured one of the first essentials of sue cess in the ceremonial. Such a multitude of ladies and gentlemen was never before congregated under one roof in this country. If the Crystal Palace had not been, it is a question whether a greater display of intelligence and beauty has ever been Witnessed in any edifice in the British dominions. Itis cern - puted that from 15,000 to 20,000 persons were present. tChose who could not obtain accommodation in the grand pall found sufficient in the galleries of the halls on the !north and south sides of it. The appearance of the grand hall was very imposing. The sun shone brightly through the glazed portions of its semi-spherical roof, but the rays falling in an oblique direction had not the un pleasant dazzling effect which an entirely glass roof produces. The hall in which the ceremonial was con ducted is 425 feet in length, 100 in breadth, and 100 feet in height, consequently the proportions harmonise better than those of the Crystal Palace. The adjoining halls at either side are only 50 feet in width, 65 in height, and about 400 in length. There are two others at the extreme ends, making, as appears from the outside, five separate buildings ; but within all appear as one. The surface of ground covered is 210,000 square feet, exclu sive of refreshment rooms. The general aspect of the grand hall reminds one strongly of the transepts of the Crystal Palace. The galleries are supported by pillars, between which coun ters or stalls are arranged, with here and there pieces of statuary. Departmental are distinguished by red flags bearing the names of the countries whose produce is to be exhi bited. Thus the "India " department, the "French," and others, are designated. To-day this hall was kept free from all goods, saving a few statues and heavy objects. The equestrian statue of her Majesty, in bronze, by Baron Mariochetti, stood in about the centre. At the western extremity was the grand organ from Oxford, made by .Telfourd. Immediately beneath, on a raised dais, were placed chairs of state for the Lord-Lieutenant and the Coun tess St. Germans. The doors were opened before ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards the audience commenced to assem ble. About a quarter past twelve o'clock the Lord-Lieutenant's arrival was announced. At this time we recognised amongst those present—The Mar quises of Kildare, Drogheda and Headfort ; Earls Granville, Charlemont, Howth, Meath, and the Coun tess of Meath ; Lords Gough, Massereene, Castlemaine, Bellew, Gort, Clancarty, Cloncurry, Naas, Rossmore, and Otho Fitzgerald ; the Chancellor, ex-Chancellor Blackburne, the Master of the Rolls ; Judges Moore, Perrin, Torrens, Lefroy, Monaghan, Keating, Cramp ton, Pigot, and Greene ; the Recorder of Dublin, the Commander of the Forces, the Presidents of the Queen's Colleges at Cork, Galway, and Belfast ; the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Dublin, the Mayors of Liverpool, Manchester, Cork, Belfast, Sligo, and several other towns ; the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, and Fellows of Trinity College; Sir Wm. Somerville, Bart.; Mr. White side, M.P.; Mr. Napier, M.P.; Mr. C. Lawless, M.P. ; Mr. Maguire, M.P.; Mr. Jas. H. Hamilton, M.P.; Mr. Vance, M.P.; the Archbishop of Meath, and several other dignitaries of the Established Church ; the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Cullen, and three or four other prelates of the Roman Catholic Church. Guards of honour from all the regiments in the garri son, with their colours, were in attendance. Two troops of the 16th Lancers—the heroes of Aliwal—were posted within the grand hall, at regular distances, and their banner lances contributed to the striking coup d'ceil. The banners of many towns—Liverpool, Dublin, Cork, &c., &c., were suspended from the compartments over the galleries. On the arrival of their Excellencies a procession was formed at the entrance, in the following order :—Mem bers of the Committee, Knights of St. Patrick, the Viceregal Household, the Lord-Lieutenant, the Countess St. Germans, &c. , The National Anthem was then played, after which the Hundredth Psalm was sung by the orchestra, which consisted of about 1,000 vocal and instrumental per formers. The effect was singularly pleasing and im pressive. Handel's Coronation Anthem was next per formed. At this stage of the ceremonial the Committee of the Exhibition approached his Excellency to present an address, which was read by Mr. Geo. Rowe, the chair man. His Excellency replied, saying— " Mr. Chairman,—l congratulate you on the completion of this great work, of which you have so ably and satisfactorily directed the execution. I can congratulate you also on the beauty of this building, in its perfect adaptation to its pur poses, as well as in the variety of and value of its contents. The liberal and patriotic conduct of Mr. Dargan, by whom alone you have been enabled to raise this noble structure, entitles him to the gratitude of his countrymen, and to the admiration of other nations. The skill and science dis played by Mr. Benson are, indeed, remark a bl e , an d p l ace him amongst the archit ec t s of modern times. As the re presentative of our most gracious Sovereign, I receive with satisfaction your dutiful and grateful acknowledgments of her Majesty's goodness, and of that of her Royal Consort, in becoming contributors to the Exhibition. It id gratify ing to me to know that the Sovereigns of many foreign states have generously assisted you from the commence ment of your labours to the present time. The Royal Dublin Society, in promoting the success of the enterprise, has done that which was to be expected from a body that has laboured more than a century to advance the progress of art and science in this country. I learn with pleasure, though without surprise, that all classes of the community have evinced a generous and heartfelt desire to aid you in the performance of your arduous task. 1 concur w i t h you in hoping that the Exhibition will show in several depart ments that Irish productions are already excellent, and that Ireland possesses sources of wealth which are well worthy of development. That it may please almighty God so to further the undertaking as to make it the means of diffusing throughout the land a love of peace and industrial pursuits, is a prayer in which I earnestly and fervently concur." (Loud cheers.) The Corporation of Dublin next presented an address to his Excellency, to which he replied : "My Lord Mayor,—l fully participate in the sentiments you have expressed. The inauguration of the great Ex hibition of 1853 is indeed an event of no ordinary interest and importance. I concur with you in hoping that this Exhibition will fulfil the intentions of him whom you have so justly designated its generous and patriotic originator, by the promotion and diffusion of industrial enterprise, and the creation of a taste for the fine arts amongst all classes of the people." The applause having subsided, Alderman Roe intro duced Mr. Dargan to his Excellency, who shook him cordially by the hand, and, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the vast assembly, congratulated him on the success ful completion of this noble undertaking. Mr. Benson was next introduced to his Excellency, to whom he handed a plan of the building ; and his Excel lency, after complimenting him in high terms, requested him to kneel, which having been done, his Excellency placed a sword on his shoulder, and conferred on him the honour of knighthood, amid renewed applause. At the conclusion of his Excellency's reply, Beetho ven's " Hallelujah" chorus, from the Mount of Olives, followed ; and the entire composition was given with a power, brilliancy, and force which could not be exceeded, and has, perhaps, been never equalled as regards this eottaposition. .11 - procession was then formed, and their Excellencies, accompanied by their suite, were conducted round the building by the chairman and members of the committee, and on leaving the dais the orchestra performed the March from Athalie. Of Mendelssohn's march from Athalie it would be dif ficult to speak in terms of too great praise. It is a mag nificent conception, and even in the Machinery and Fine Arts Courts it could be perfectly well heard, and many from the remote portions of the building listened to the march, and appreciated the manner in which it was performed. _ _ After a considerable time spent in inspecting various productions in the other parts of the building, the Vice regal party returned to their seats. His Excellency then in a loud voice said, "In the name of her Majesty, I now declare this Exhibition open ; and in so doing, I pray Almighty God that he will vouchsafe to protect and prosper this undertaking." A loud burst of applause, which was repeated again and again, succeeded to these words. The orchestra then performed successively " The Heavens are Telling"—Haydn ; the Hallelujah Chorus, and the National Anthem, after which their Excellencies left the building with the same ceremony as was ob served at their entrance, and the proceedings termi nated. When the ceremonial of the opening was concluded, the Fine Arts Court was thrown open, and, notwith standing the crowd which pressed into it, and the ab sence of catalogues to enable visitors to ascertain the subjects and the painters of the pictures which adorn its fragile but spacious walls, a general feeling of delight was manifested by all present. the day, especially . . . assemblage of distinguished visitors was so great i f iicul a t n y d t o sculpture. obtain ii than ali The Exhibitioii was tbc cnronwedAedrtdaurdienpgatrhtene department ; remainder indeed, o f the a th is rich in works by the Continental School, and has some of the gems of Rembrandt, Claude, &c., from celebrated collections, with Hogarth's " Gates of Calais," transient it w as view i et task k o of f t the al pictures (i and other engraved productions.
