mental errors which they had occomitted, sad which they
might very easily remedy by resorting to the goverunest
schools of art sod obtaining as elementary knowledge of
certain simple rides, which would prevent them falling into
similar errors. It may be interesting to sots that our of

The following was the letter from Mr. Gladstone. It
was addressed to Mr. Murphy, sod dated yesterday :
Deer Sir,—l find with sincere regret that the boar ap-

at it, will preclude my attendance, cm asonat of as ap.

said on the owed= of dogleg the South Load= Exhibition
that will not be better said by others. Still, is conveying
my cosgratulations on the completion of the waderiaking, I
will venture to direct them specially towards that portion
of the report which SONLESS& the tone of warning. The at-
tractive chancier of these exhibiting in • social and moral
pond of view, ea well as the actual beauty and ingenuity of
so many of the objects, may be likely to lead many to target
the striatum of the soonamical laws which are applicable
to them ; sad I am vary glad that the managers bays
emphatiosay punted out as amongthe ocaditioas of
their swages, • -Srst, that they shall be self-
sustaining ; secondly, that much of the control and respon-
sibility, as well as the preparation of the articles, shall be
in the buds of the working men themselves. A due
regard to then condition will provost the too rapid
multiplintion under which they would certainly decussate,
and will teed to secure to our fellowroountrymen having
the most direct interest in them, all the great benefits
which they are calculated in so many ways to produce. —I
remain, dear sir, faithfully yours, W. E. GLADOTONS."
In the evening the Exhibition was throws open for the
