Es LLINASLOE FAIR.—The great October fair taken
place this week at Ballinasloe. The show of sheep omen
to-dev. The fair is expected to be • good one. Marry of
the docks have been moving towards it for the last week
I from the remote parts of Clare„ Mayo, Roscommon, and
Galway. The Lord-Lientenatit is to go to the fair to-day
as the guest of the Earl of Clancarty, where be is to be
/Mold by several other distinguished visitors, including the
Marquis of Downshire, the Earl and Countess of Erne, Lady
Louisa Crichton, Lord and Lady Carew, Lord Tyrone, Lord
Powersoourt, Lord and lady Doomed.. As meal,
there is an emigration of Dublin tradesmen to Bellioaake,
where they open shops during the week of the fair to sup-
ply the wants of the farmers beyond the Shannon. To-
morrow there will he an important auction of colt., f
hunters, and chargers, the property of Mr. Allan Pollock,
who farms on a gigantic scale in that neighbourhood. It I
stated that a meeting will be held to-day in the Acriculta-
rid-hall, for the purpose of adopting a memorial to Lard
Carlisle requesting the goveroment to change the day of
opening the fair from the first Monday to the first Tuesday
in October, in order to prevent the necessity of tmvelliag
on Sunday or else spending two eights idly in a small town
crowded with visitors, for whom the hotel ICCOMIXIOaIaiOIII
is inadequate.
FREE LECTCREn TO THE WORKINO CLASSES IN
FARM—General Morin, whose scientific labours are so well
known, has jest addressed,. report to the Minister of Com-
merce and Public Works in France on the lectures gives
without charge at the Coe servatoire des Arts et Hitler'.
The Si.'rle directs attendee to the very marked tendesey
which the document reveals of a desire on the part of the
working classes of Paris to obtain useful instruct;on. In
fact, the number of auditors is so great that the places of
meeting are found to be totally inedequate, and the Siicie
strongly insists on the neesesity of prorate, additional ae-
commodatioo. Its language runs thus :—" The lectures at
the Conservatoire ere given every evening, the first from 7'
to a quarter to 9, and the second from the leatnatned
hour to 10. The andieum consist. almost entirely
of artisans, who, after finishing their day's work,
flock from all arts of the capital to hear the
lectures of the learned professors. Those lectures are es-
tirely devoted to the diffusion of knowledge relating to the
industrial arts, and to the practical application of se:entifie
discoveries. Tie two amphitheatre of the Comervatoire
on accommodate only a rather limited number of hearers •
awretbelese the total of attendants during the six mouth;
from October to April last was 176.8 N ; in the number
during the same period was only 116,000, no that the total
of persons seeking rustraction there hoi increased be 31,000
in seven years. Every meant ought to be ewployed to en-
courage this admirable teedeeer, and extend the teaching
of the mimes emcee the working population. Why
should not the Conservatoire des Arts et 514iers ham
branch establislinimita in all the arroodimementa of
Paris, and in each of our manufacturing towns!
There is no scarcity of professore. Numbers of
scientific roan would solicit these popular chairs
as au hoeour. Would funds be wasting? Perhaps so. for
our budget* are loaded with so many unproductive expenses.
Let the government make an earnest appeal to the spirit as-
sociation. In that exists a latent force capable of moving
mountains. Just remark the immerse cervices rewiercd by
polytechnic and philotechnic aseociatione, which are also de-
yowl to teaching adults. To eduNde youth is providing
for the future i to teach adults to rescue them from drink-
ing habits, to improve their minds, and direct their energies
to useful ends, is securing order end peace for the present.
The extension of each teaching (nicht to be the first core of
the governing powers. The clergy have innumerable re-
ligious associations which earnestly strive to engross the
siduc3ti.in of childhood and youth. To those clerical arisimia-
Pons let us oppose liberal associations of laymen whose sr-
tivity, zeal, and devotedness to the public weal will produce
wonders."
