IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SIFT d.
The man arrested on Saturday morning for thron-
ing a petition into the Queen's carriage, when her
Majesty was leaving the National Education Schools,
was liberated in the evening on his own recogni-
sance, to appear before the magistrates if called upon
to answer the charge. The prisoner, who declared
that nothing could be farther from his intention than
to annoy or alarm her Majesty, was discharged in
pursuance of instruction, from the Viceregal Lodge.
There is little yet talked of in Dublin except the
royal visit, and the incidents connected with it, and
for a long time to come the subject will form one of
the most favourite and frequent topics with 11! classes
in Ireland. The following anecdotes, which I select
from a long list of " Reminiscences of her Majesty's
Visit" in this morning's Freeman, may be worth
preserving
After the Queen but spent about an boor examining the
contents of the Great Exhibition on Thursday morning,
Alderman Roo-, in the name of the committee, inquired if
ber Majesty would have any objection to the general ad-
mission of the public while she was in the building. She
at once replied in the most gracious manner that she was
altogether in the hands of the committee, and that she
would moat willingly consent. Alderman Roe thanked her
Majesty most warmly, and said he was confident the people
would not inconvenience the royal party in the slightest
degree by crowding the portions of the building through
which they were passing. Thousands were anxiously waiting
outside for several hours, and as soon as the doors were
thrown open a tremendous rush was made to obtain posi-
tion' from which a view of the Queen could be obtained.
Severs! members of the committee passed through the
crowds, informing them of the readiness and graciousness
with which her Majesty bad consented to their admission,
and requesting them to take their places in en orderly man-
ner in the central hall, I g the passage clear fur
the royal party to pass along to the dais when about to de-
part. The vast assemblage, notwithstanding the general
anxiety to see the Queen as quickly as possible, arranged
themselves as required with • willingness that was most
creditable to themselves and satisfactory to the committee,
who bad, as it were, become sureties for their not crowding
about the royal party, and obstructing their progress.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert asked on one occasion
what use it was intended to convert the Exhibition building
to; and, on being told that it was to be taken down, be
suggested that it ought to be converted into a grand mart,
or bazaar, for which, he said, it appeared to be admirably
adapted. _

Ainongst the magnificent furniture of the Royal Pavi-
lion, made by Mr. Beakey, of Stafford-street, and the great
beauty of which has been already described, was a taste-
fully designed and richly ornamented chair, specially
ordered by Mn. Dugan. Being desirous to possess •
souvenir of the royal visit to the great industrial temple
which the princely munificence of her diminguished has-
banl hos erected, she wrote to Mr. Roe requesting that he
would ask her Msjesty_to use this particular chair while in
the Royal Pavil'on, Mr. Roe communicated Mrs. Dargan's '
wish to the Lord Lieutenant on Tuesday morning, when
the royal party paid their first visit to the Exhibition. His
Excellency mentioned the matter to the Queen, who at
ones, and in the most marked manner, declared her willing-
ness to comply with Mrs. Dargan's wish, end she accord-
ingly remained seated in the chair during the entire time
that the preparations were being made in the great hail
for the royal precession to the dais.
In passing through the Belgian department on Friday
morning Alderman Reit remarked to Prince Albert that
they were greatly indebted to the King of the Belgians,
not merely for his patronage, bat for his active and cordial
support. His Royal Highness observed that he had written
that very morning to the king expressing his admiration of
the numerous and beautiful contributions sent by him.
There was no department of the Exhibition in which her
Majesty took so warm an interest as in that of Irish laces.
She carefully examined the specimens from Limerick, and
the.worked muslin from Carrickmaerosa, :he beauty and
finish of which she very much admired.
It is understood that the Lord-Lieutenant will visit
Limerick about the 23rd instant, for the purpose of
opening the new docks there, and that he will then
spend a few days with a nobleman in that county.
His Excellency will also, it is said, attend the great
Munster fair at Limerick, and the great fair of Bal-
linsloe.

The following is from the week's commercial re-
view in the Freeman :

This has been a complete holiday week, and we have,
therefore, but Buie to note. Bhares are very droopy, and
we are beginning to feel a tightness In the market. The
Bank of Ireland advanced the rate of discount to 4 per
cent on all climes of bills, and this alteration has, of
course, bees followed by the other banks. The payments
from the Ineumbered Estates bare been trifling, only
12,0001. We have not been favoured with our usual note
of the sustains' duties for the week, but the amount is most
probably very much below the average. The weather has
beet very wet end broken, and the harvest must in some
localities have been prejudiced to some extent. The corn
market, however, though brisker, and showing an advance,
has not by say mean responded to the heavy fluctuations
in the English markets, where a rise of Bs. to Be. on the
week has been reported in some cues.
The Cork Reporter thus describes a very remark-
able display of the Aurora Borealis which wee ob-
served in Dublin on the same sight (Friday last),
under precisely the same cironaishume:
Last evening, about 8 o'clock, the Muses presented •
very singular appearance. Front-lb Earthen' horizon
brilliant rays of light shot upwards thawgh the air, vary-
ing, each moment, in width, sleuths, mad Intensity, and
plum ing the usual beautiful appears= of the Aurora
Borealis. With them, however, was sembined4isira
us curio feathery arch, of light vapour, whisk'as
the entire sky, otherwise perfectly closidhaesa sledded
with eters from cut to west. This latter plumancet
attracted great attention, and had certainly a very singular
effect, the stare being distinctly visible through the chief
part of its length.

GALWAY UNION.—The Chairman said he had
received a letter from the agents of Lord Campbell, which
he read as follows:—" Leinster-street, Dublin.—Sir—We
are desired by Lord Campbell to propose to the Guardians
of the Tinian, with a view of relieving the rates, that if
they will undertake to emigrate six or eight of the young
women or lade at present in the workhouse, from that part
of the Barna electoral division which formerly beloaged
to :Mr. A. H. Lynch, which is now the property of lots
lordship we shall pay to the board moo moiety of the
exposes* thereof; and if the proposition be agreed to we
shall furnish to the board the names of the paupers
from whom the emigrants are to be selected, there being
about twenty-three at present in the workhouse from
that property, bat all of whom, we believe, were admitted
before the prepay wee transferred to his lordship. We
hope, by softer on example to the other leaded proprietors
of the divides, that they will see the propriety of concurring
in the symposia. and that by their united exertions
they maraltiahle to relieve the property in the division
fres a pram of the heavy rates to which they are
now liable the of the poor. The board will, we
pregame, ea our proposition has reference to
voluntary emigration 'sly, and that his lordship has no in-
tention of asking the guardians to take any steps to compel
any of the paupers to emigrate against their will. We have
the honour to be, sir, your Moodiest *avant, annum end
KINCAID, Agents to Lord Campbell.—John Redingtoe,
Esq., Chairman of the Galway Union." After a short dis-
cussion, the board eonsented to pay a moiety pense
for the emigration to North America of thenumber stela
1 by Lord Campbell's agents, such moiety to be charged to
the electoral division where the paupers were chargemaile.—

HARVEST Paoencre.—Mach anxiety is felt for
the misty of the grain crops, from the great quantity of rain
which has fallen here daring the past week. To-day how-
ever a favourable change has taken pleat in the weather,
which, we trust, will enable our farmers to proceed with
the reaping, de. We have been informed that the wheat
cops will prove less than an average yield, while on the
other hand, the oat and barley crops will give a favourable
return. There are many conflicting !attenuate respecting
the Way of the potato, but from inquiries we have made,
along with personal observation, we can state, with &mil-
dews, that up to this period the crop is perfectly free hoot
dimees—Sligo Jo,wue .
THE WEATHER—TER CROPS.—Daring the early
part of the present week we have had very heavy falls of
rain, which, in some Lusterless, continued for twenty hours
without intermission. Serious apprehensions were come
quietly entertained that the grain crops would sustain eon-
adorable damage, but the sunshine and light breezes which
set in upon Thundayevening and have since continued, die-
paled all doubts regarding tho safety of the crops. The
weather is at present most propitious, and an early and
abundant harvest may therefore be it:Petted. There is a
lug* supply of potatoes at market today, and we are
happy to had that no trace of the disease has yet manifested
iteelf.—Galemy Packet.
RSILWAY ro Youomm.—Arrangeateats have been
nearly completed for entering on a new survey of the line
of railway projected front Cork to Youghal, with branches
to Queenstown and Pommy, and the necessary notices will
be shortly served preparatory to going to parliament next
session for a bill to amend the present act. An English
firm of celebrity has offered to constract the line and its
branches, on terms deemed satisfactory by the projectors.
A proposition is about being made tomtit' the line with the
Great Southern and Western Railway at its Cork termi-
nus.—Cork Coartitodion.
MS. HODSON AND HIS CONNEMARA TENANTRY.
—We have just been informed that Mr. Hodson, of Merlin
Park. following the example of Lord Campbell, ls about to
entertain his Glen tenantry at dinner. It is gratifying to
find the purchasers of property in the west of Ireland in-
augurating the proprietorship of their recently acquired es-
tates in this liberal and festive manner.—Gaiway Packet.
