FROM IRRLAND.

The Dah;in Adr,lcolo says he reiguita of the teurns for
space, now finally allotted to the varier,. exhibitors cf Inch
products, has both surprised and delighted us. These wa
hate jolt rocturd front bead-quarter.. The total s• ace for
Lisa use is 9.254 feet of floor and counter spate, and
14, feet of wall or vertical woos. We further find that
this space is occupied by 326 exhibiton, in the following
propornon. —Siouan I.—Raw Hateriab.-60 Ezhibi.,re
1,214 feet fluor and counter; 248 foot wall. Section 11,—
Machinery.-69 Exhibitor,: 3,797 feet flx.r and enunter;
635 feet wall. Section 111.—Mantaketunc-166 Exhibit-
ors 3,978 feet tar and counter; 3,2.52 feet wall. Section
IV.—Plaric Arta-30 Exhibitors: 263 feet floor and cowl-
trt ; 88 feet wall.

To meet the requirements of the linen trod.. Bel'atit had
• large extra space of wall granted to it, and Dalian exceeded
the allotment made by the executive cLinamittee, but the
excess was generously allowed. Indeed we have no hesita-
' non in saying, upon goon authority, that every indulgence
and considi ration have been given to Inland and Irish
interests, and th it in the section of raw materials a very
Ilarge margin has still been lett, if, by lacerated exertion and
lan awakened lenient on the pare of our landed proprietors, a
better die dav of the neat mineral wealth of the ennui
can be organised.
The number of exhibitors in each district of the country
is as tollows Dublin, 210; and the province of
Ulster, GO; Colic, 22; Limerick, 12; Waterford 4; and
Wexford, 15. It must bas remembered, however, that Dub-
lin inetrte- not only the district around it, but distant
parts of the kingdom. The Kdkeney exbibitore, for in-
stance, send through Dublin; and in the section of raw
materials, 46 out of GO exhibitors do the same. The pia
%ice.. of Ulster is very poorly retiree nted in this stetson,
there being only fear :banters through Belfast. It Wins
strange that the spirited landed proprietors of the north of
Ireland did net Ise their own interests more clearly. The
Limerick local committee, as r..prorating the west and
south west, lies a epee allotted to it as one exhibitor, itus
details of which it will till up in due course, and in its own
way. Co. k miobt have done the same for the south ; but
no little interest was shown by those on whose estates the
mineral wealtb Ike, and whose' benefit the display of these
predate.' wean:ally intended to yr mote, that the lccal com-
mittee was discouraged in its (litre. This is to be
repined, as the south and west et Itaind might have
made ouch a demonstration of its mineral pro -uniting as
would have astonished the hundreds of capitalists who are
sore to assemble at the Exhibition, and the rush& might
have been most important to the interests it the Ini.ded
proprietors.
We may, however, rejoice that the industry and talent of
the country seem likely to be so well represented; but it
now becomes desirable that everything should be dohs to
provide tot • proper display of the snicks to be lent to Lon-
don. The Royal Commission has resolved to give the exhi-
bitor., either individually or in groups, the opportunity to
fit up theirstells, wall space, eke., in any manner hest col-
culated to display their respentiv, productions to the greatest
advantage; but in doing this, it moot be st the eo.t of the
exhibitors, or of the local committees awing on their behalf.
Should; !nervier, the exhibitor decline to go to this a:-
pone*, or be careless as to the manner in which his goods are
displayed, then the Royal Commission will fit up the nqui-
site constructions for showing the gouds,but as cheaply and as
economically as may he. It will be obeli W. that (or a or per
display, the exhibitors should take the matter into their ewe
hands, make their own arrangement., and be prepared to
bear the cost, as by this means the displ.y of their contribu-
tions will Ita more complete and satisfactory, as compared
with the tHlied outlay which would be incurred.
In a very few days, we learn that the precise spot in
which the various contributions from all parts of the United
Kutodom are to be displayed will be decided upon, and
plans sent to the respective committees. It therefore be-
comes essentlil that Leese persons who are really interested
in this question should bestir themselves, end assist the
local committees by every means in their power; and
that the exhibitors in each class should aesemble, and, hay-
ing obtained a proper ides of their space and the an incre-
ment. required, at once unite to carry them out fully and
effectively.
We era glad to find that a meeting of the citizens of
Dublin is cell. d by the Lord Mayor, in connexion with this
subject, end appointed to be held in the board-room of the
Royal Dublin S witty. At this muting most important
matters as to the future management of this question will
nave to be discussed ; end it is most tanned, to be desired
that every person in soy way connected with the move-
ment should be present, in order that no future misunder-
standing as to the arra* gi menus in progress may take
place.
We are glad to find that the Dublin Association for
sidled London dunk d the Exhibiii et is prug g; and
we earnestly advise all who deed:e to see a eisplay such as
the world has certainly nevi r seen bet re in any country,
Clime, or age, to aysil themselves of the facilities afforded
by the asson olon and immediately become members; for
assuredly they will congratulate themselves if they do so,
and as bitterly regret it if they do not. It may Le all
very well for the stand-still section of society to edict not
to care about this gnat social and industrial movement—
to treat it as a whim of fashion, or as the mere manifest-
ation of the is corking. of party; but such persons
will inevitably fled that, when the display of all that the
' most ingenious nations and indiviluals of the present day
can produce is once fairly open, the results will he so
astounding that no man who wishes to and nd the
age in which he lives can afford to stay away.—the Ad

We (Ifraterford Mail) are happy to learn that the speci-
men of Waterford glass designed for the Great Exhibition
of 1861 is progressing daily. The principal article is an
epergne of moit massive dimensions, embellished with the
most exquisite cuttings. On the top riots the figure of the
mown. The design is perfectly original, awl the execution
promises to be so excellent as to c...nfer bnn•.ur on the city
which sends forth this monument of artistic skill. The
Marchioness of Waterford has evinced her interest in the
matter by pfrsonally visiting our celebrated glass menu..
factory, through which ells was conducted by the en-
terpri•ing proprietor, Mr. Gatchell, and was pleased to
express her admiration of the taste and beauty of the
epergne, which we may safely say m■y be equalled, but not
surpassed, by similar productions of any other country.
