THE QUEEN IN IRELAND.

THE FOURTH DAY.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

FRIDAY, SEPT. 2.

The multifarious character of the incidents which
occupied the attention of both royalty and loyalty to-day,
renders the above simple heading, after the manner of the
Arabian Nights, the best adapted for introducing a chroni-
cle of the proceedings. Her Majesty and party were at the
Exhibition building long before ten o'clock, and spent about
two hours in • most minute and discriminating
examination of the contents, giving especial atten-
tion to those articles which were national, either in product
or manufacture. The Queen was loudly cheered on her
arrival by an immense crowd that thronged the doors, and
on her departure received a similar ovation from the com-
pany within the building. Indeed, the good understanding
between her Majesty and her Irish subjects seems rapidly to
increase on every new occasion upon which they are
brought into contact. During the first day's progress
through the streets some of the English visitors who had
formed large anticipations of Irish fervour, were of opinion
that the demonstrations were comparatively cold ; but

the fact was that the people were so anxious to see their
sovereign and to establish her identity that they took little
time to cheer, but the moment they caught a glimpse at
one corner finmediately ran off to another in order to ob-
tain a better view. On the other hand, her Majesty, who
was still suffering from the effects of the voyage, looked se-
rious and fatigued, from which conclusions were drawn
that she was not quite pleased with her reception. Hu,
ever since, the graciousness of the sovereign and the enthu-
siasm of the people have been increasing momently, so that
wherever and whenever the Queen appears all is smiles on
one side and enthusiastic cheering on the other.
A gratifying fact that may be mentioned in addi.
tion is, that the most delicate respect is everywhere
observed, in order that her Majesty's movements may not
be obstructed. On the day of her Majesty's drive to Lucan
a cavalcade of upwards of a thousand can that had followed
the royal cortege, wheeled round and retired in a body the
moment an intimation was given that her Majesty did no
wish to be followed any further. Again, in the Exhibition
each day the company purchase the privilege of seeing
her Majesty pass out, by previously pledging themselves that
no inconvenient pressure will be attempted, and the pledge
is observed with the moat rigorous punctuality. By these
means every one gets a sight of the Queen, there is immense
cheering, and the expression of her Majesty's countenance
indicates the most perfect cheerfulness and satisfaction.
During to-day's visit the Queen, who has worn a dif-
ferent dress every day since her arrival in Ireland, was
attired in a richly figured French barege gown with white
embroidered scarf and bonnet, both of the latter articles
being trimmed and lined with blue. Prince Albert wore a
black frock coat, buttoned up to the breast, and grey
trousers. The young Princes were attired in black paletots,
white trousers and grey cape. When her Majesty entered
the building from the small aide door on the left of the
dais, the National Anthem was pealed forth from Telford's
great organ, at which Dr. Stewart officiated. Iler Majesty
and the Prince first glanced at the busts chiefly by Irish
artists, which are arranged under the organ loft, and then
devoted a few minutes to the inspection of the two
bronze figures of Archbishop Langton and Eustace de
Vescia, cast by Elkington and Mason for the House of
Lords. Descending from the dais they passed along
the northern side of the central ball, admiring several
works of statuary which are arranged there, and
again inspected the magnificent specimens of Irish lace,
of which her Majesty made large purchases, singling out
for particular commendation some specimens of "point "
_ .

exhibited by Mrs. Mahony, of Limerick, a manufacturer
hitherto not much known, but who, no doubt, will find
her trade increase under the geaial influence of royal
patronage. From this lady the Queen purchased a very
handsome shawl, and gave orders for other articles. After
a short time spent in the centre hall, her Majesty ascended
for the first time to the galleries, from whence she had a
oommandiag view of the whole interior, and was pleased
' to express her admiration of the general effect in
warm terms. Prince Albert also was highly
••
eulo-
gistic in his observations, and appears to be very
much struck at the success of Sir John Benson
in producing a perfect and pleasing light throughout
in which everything is seen to the best advantage. Sir
John has succeeded by means hitherto unknown in mo-
, dein structural art, but as everything good in high art
I most come from the ancients, be is not ashamed to ac-
knowledge that he got his first idea from the Lanthorn
of the Pantheon, and having once made himself sure of
I the scientific truth of the principle, he perseveringly car-
ried it out to fruition in spite of a good deal of unlearned
obstinacy and opposition, such as true artists in all ages
have to contend with, and which nearly broke Wren's
heart during the building of St. Paul's. The attention
of parties concerned in the erection of edifices for similar
purposes cannot h' too forcibly drawn to the lighting, the
most remarkattle feature in the exhibition building. So
complete has been tho architect's success, that from the
hundreds of artists, that most irritable of all races, who
exhibit in the picture gallery, not a single complaint has
come to hand that a picture is placed in a bad light. The
het is, that each picture is, technically speaking, com-

platcly " Lit," so that from whatever side you look at it,
the whole scope and design is disclosed. Am.•tigst then*.
tents of the g..lleries which mast attracted her Ma'esty's
t, titian were some gr Asps modelled by a Mr. Wand
in a new compost:ion of his own inventi.m, which, whilst
presenting the soft and delicate appe.r.•r of wax, y
alleged to be much harder, far more dur..ii..., and capable
of resisting very great heat. Tke largest iit the groups rs•
presents the late Mr. O'Connell, surround"! by a number
of peasants, male and female—the figure. b, iug about five
or six inches in height, and modelled with great spirit and
expression. Her Majesty, attracted by th figure.:, stopped
to examine them, and instantly exclaimed. " Ah, that is
O'Connell." "Yes," said Prince Alhee, "and an excel-
lent likeness it is of him, too." Her Grail. he Duchene(
Wellington then came up, and having cx.nain A the group
with much apparent interest, testified h,r Arniration by
purchasing it.

- The Queen and Prince Albert were next e .nducted out
on the external gallery which overlooks Minion-square,
and their appearance was the signal fat at enthusiastic
burst of applause from the crowds of lathes Al gentlemen
who were assembled outside awaiting the mouing of the
doors for the admission of the general euldie.
While the Queen and Prince were Irmo./ suck kind
and interested attention to the more important sec-
tions of the Exhibition, the young prince, were equally
close in their inspection of the toys, with wh, .1 the gallery
is abundantly furnished. They made sever II spirited pur-
lchases out of their pocket money—horse add.-ys, peg tops,
&c.—the Prince of Wales being evidently s connoisseur in
the last named article. Coming up to a stand upon which
specimens of bogoak carvings are exhibited, his royal high.
nen at once selected an elaborately carved ornament; ea.
ing the price in quite a manly off rimer port of way.
The boutiquiere in attendance, qttitt overwhelmed
with the unexpected honour, answered distractedly,
" • shilling," the real price being about Fre. The Priam
with a promptitude worthy the future ruler of a great cows•
mercial nation closed with the bargain at once, laid dosed
his shilling and at once walked off with his prise. This
little incident will probably make the fortune of the etzkl-
bitor, who is constantly surrounded by groups of the
curious, and preserves the shilling under a glass vase only
to be shown to the most favoured of the ens.omers. Bath
the princes exhibit a right royal meekly to promutethe
important manufacture of comfits in this portion of her
Majesty's dominions. They were early vi•iturs at Mr.
Lemon's laboratory, and particularly admired a model of
the Exhibitiuu building in coloured harttbake, but came
strongly of opinion that an early demolition would be the
most expedient method of disposing of it.
At 12 o'clock the royal party left amid loud and general
cheering, and proceeded at once to the Park, where there
was a review of cavalry, and a very interesting ceremony,
namely, the presentation of a pair of colours by the Prince
of Wales to the boys of the Iliberciou School. On his
Royal Highnesses arrival, the very Itandeume colours, the
gilt of the ladies of Dublin, were unfurled from their cases,
The Prince of Wales handed them to their respective
bearers, saying—

" I have sincere pleasure in presenting you with these
colours. You are soldiers' sons, and know how to vales
hem. I hope you will keep them in remembrance of this
day, and of me in time to come."
The boys, headed by their commandant, Colonel Colombo
then marched past in slow, quick, and double-quick time,
and also performed various other military evolutions, to the
evident gratification of the royal princes; after which, Can.
ducted by the commandant, their royal higlinesies and the
viceregal party passed into the great dining•htir, and shortly
after took their departure.

The stand of colours consist of the union jack and a rte.
mental colour, both beautifully embroidered with the crown
and harp, encircled by a wreath of shumrockq, and a ribbon
with the motto, "Fear God, honour the Kinn."
