DUBLIN, TUESDAY
CLOSING OF THE EXHIBITION.

This ceremony took place yesterday, in the pre

sense of some 21,000 spectators. It was somewhat
similar to that which inaugurated the great under-
taking, the arrangements, however, being less ex-
clusive and more convenient altogether. The doors

opened at an early hour in the
„morning, and,
despite the unpropitious weather, continued all
day to receive an immense influx of visitors.

At a quarter before three o'clock the cheering
outside announced the approach of the Lord and
Lady Lieutenant ; and immediately after - their ;
Excellencies entered by the grand entrance, pre-
ceded by Alderman Roe, Mr. Dargan, and• the other
members of the Exhibition Committee. As soon
as they entered the Great Hall, the military bands
struck up the National Anthem, and the vast as-
semblage burst into one hearty and enthusiastic
cheer, which made the walls and roof of the build-
ing ring again. The
.cheering continued at short
intervals until his Excellency reached the dais,
when still more vehement acclamations broke forth,
no small proportion of which were evidently in-
tended for Mr. Dargan. His excellency then took
his seat on the dais, the Countess of St. Germans

;ccupying the seat immediately on his left. The
Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor, and the other distinguished
personages also took up the positions assigned
them. Among those present we noticed the
Provost of Trinity College, Lord Talbot de
Malahide, Lord Massarene, Lord Ward, Lord
Dunboyne, Sir Edward and Lady Blakeney,
Sir Edward M'Donnel, the Earl of Bective,
Sir John Young, the Marchioness of London.
derry, Colonel Penefather, William Dargan, Esq.,
Viscount Gort, Colonel Browne, Colonel Eden, the
Attorney-General, Sir John Benson, the members
of the committee, &c.

The following programme was then gone through
in a manner that elicited the delight and admira-
tion of the entire assembly
The Hundredth Psalm, as at the
Inauguration—Organ and Or-
chestra ...
The Heavens are telling—Or-
gan and Orchestra..

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant then arose
from his seat, and Mr. C. P. Roney, the active
and energetic secretary of the Exhibition, having
been introduced by Alderman Roe, his Excellency
desired him to kneel, for the purpose of receiving
the honor of knighthood. Mr. Roney having
obeyed the request, his Excellency touched him
with a sword, and said, " Rise, Sir Cusac Patrick
Roney," whereupon a loud and hearty cheer pro-
ceeded from the assembled multitude, who thus
evinced their approbation of the honor conferred
upon the talented gentleman. The worthy
Knight was heartily congratulated by the Chair-
man of the Executive Committee, Mr. Dargan, his

R. P. Stewart, Mus. D

brother secretary Mr. Deane, and several other
friends. Lady Roney was subsequently introduced
to the Earl and Countess of St. Germans to receive
their felicitations.
His EXCELLENCY then came forward, and in a
clear, distinct voice, said—l cannot declare the
Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853 to be closed
without expressing an earnest wish for the health,
happiness, and prosperity of the man to whom we
are all indebted for the instruction we have
received from the many productions of art and
nature which are contained within these walls.
I also desire to acknowledge the liberality of the
owners of these treasures, for permitting them to
be exhibited. Let me also pay a tribute of praise
to the committee, the secretaries, and the other
officers connected with it, for the zeal, the assi-
duity, and the intelligence with which they have
discharged their many duties. Lastly, let me, in
the name of this assembly, offer to Almighty God
our heartfelt thanks, for having blessed and pros-
pered this undertaking. I now declare this Exhi-
bition to be closed. His Excellency concluded by
calling for three cheers for Mr. Dugan. (Loud
and prolonged applause).
A VOICE.--A cheer for the Lord Lieutenant.
(Loud cheers).
This part of the ceremonial being concluded,
the national anthem was then performed by the
organ and orchestra, assisted by the military
bands, after which their Excellencies retired, at
half-past three q'cloolc, accompanied by the com-
mittee to the grand entrance, and in the course
of another hour the gay throng separated and left
the building, the entire ceremonial occupying only
one hour.

Thus closed the Great Exhibition of 1853
finally, though up to late yesterday hopes were
entertained of its being re opened, All doubt_
however was set at rest by the answer of the com
mittee to a deputation which waited on them last'
night, which was couched in the following terms
As the Exhibition is closed, and as some of th e
exhibitors have announced their intention of im-s
mediately removing their goods, and the office c
having reported that the admision of the publid
during even the partial pa6king of the goods woul
be most bleonyenient and almost impracticable-
Re.solved—That the deputation of the exhibitors be in
formed that, after full and mature consideration of all the
circumstances of the case, the eommittee feel that the sub-
ject is encompassed with such difficulties, and the results so
doubtful, that, with every wish to meet their request, and
with every disposition to afford the working classes facility
to visit the Exhibition, the committee feel bound to decline
re-opening the Exhibition,
T. .

THE TRIAL OF MISS CANTWELL—This case was
resumed yesterday, when the examination of
Dudley, the man who it is said, detected the pri-
soner, was proceeded with by Mr. Whiteside, Q. C.
The witness was afterwards subjected to a lengthy
cross-examination by Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q. C. and.
some slight descrepancies between his evidence
and his original information were elicited. After
the examination of Mr. Cammock, the police con-
stable who arrested Miss Cantwell, and one or two
other witnesses, the case was further adjourned to
this morning.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKETS.-YESTERDAY

The rains of last week, which appear to have fallen heavily
over a large surface of the United Kingdom, were equally so
here, and the process of sowing wheat was consequently sus-
pended, imparting at most of the leading provincial markets of this
country and Ireland, a further advance in the prices of nearly
every description of grain ; within the last few days, however,
the weather has become more favourable, and if continued,
may possibly calm down any undue excitement for tho

moment

We have received into this port, during the week ending
yesterday, a tolerable quantity of oatmeal, but of graM or flour
thence or coastwise, the arrivals of the week are inconsiderable,
while of any kind of grain from abroad the import is per-
fectly insignificant : of flour, however, we have a fair supply,
chiefly from the United States and Spain, and partly from
B►itish colonios, 1,892 barrels from the latter being a re-ship-
ment from Australia. During the same period the exports of.
wheat and Indian corn henr,..voood, and thooo of a..., ucualy

equal the importations subjoined.
The flour trade here was dearer on Saturday last, but yes-
terday the sale for this article as well as wheat became dull,
with some tendency to easier rates. Conflicting accounts from
the East influence the market according to their peaceable ten-
dency or otherwise, though in reality this question is of minor
importance, Unless its settlement should ensure us an early
renewal and continuance of supply, upon which, in the face of
excessive rates abroad, the scarcity of shipping, and the com-
petition of other countries, we cannot count.
Our market to-day was fairly attended, but generally by much
more extensive buyers than of late, and the transactions in
foreign wheat have been, in the aggregate, only of moderate
amount; prices ranging rather over those of this day week, but
scarcely as good as were realised on Friday. Of farmer's new
there was a full display of samples, the condition in

some cases damp, in others good, and was mostly cleared off at
the annexed quotations. Flour may be noted about 6d. per
barrel over Tuesday last; choice fresh qualities are not plen-
tiful, and held firmly, but the sale of all kinds has been of a
limited character to-day. Sour descriptions cannot be quoted

higher.
Prime dry qualities of barley merely support the late im-
provement ; damp new parcels are difficult to quit, even at less
money. Beans have advanced 2s to 3s per qr. on the week ;
there are buyers of Egyptians at 48s. We also note oats at ld
per bushel, and oatmeal at 2s per load advance, the business in
the latter, for several days, both in store and to arrive, having
been large.

The enhanced price of Indian corn checks the sale, still a
moderate business is doing at our quotations.
