The Lord-Lieutenant paid a &coed visit yesterday
to the Triennial Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures
at the Royal Dublin S 'ciety, it being the closing day
of the exhibition. His Excellency, who was escorted
through the apartments by the committee, and ex-
pressed himself highly gratified with many of the
products of industry around him, delivered a brief
extempore address to a numerous group of the exhi-
bitor& He said—

I believe, gerrelemen, I am in the presence of several who
have contributed specimens of their skill and ingenuity, and
I am claims to avail myself of this opportgaity of 'rpm
sing say acknowledgments of your kindness in retaining your
works km, mid keeping the inhibition open longer than
yea expected in anticipation of :my mints
from Leeds.,
where I was 'delayed 1' ger than I intended. I only hope
*Sat the obligation which you have conferred upon me b e
of been of any anion, inconvenienee to yourselv-s. Gee-
'oBloll it h hardly nemesery for me to say that this, my
. egad has continued the opinion which I entsttlined
upon a former occasion, mid which enables me to say with
still graver confidence, that I never witnessed an exhibition
which afforded more gratification, whether we regard the
variety and perfection a the wake of art and mannfamnre,
Of the stimulus which this exhibition most impart to the
country, and the impetus it mast give to 'Nat renewed sad
continuous exertion that sums, can never tail to creme. I
sincerely congratulate you upon the exhibition.
In the Encumbered Court yesterday the sale of
the lands of Currane, county Mayo, containing 7,878
acres, was set snide by the commesio•cre, on account
of misrepresentations in the rental. This is the pro-
perty meetly alluded to by Sir John Itomilly. It
was sold in the first instance at one and a half year's
purchase ; but the buyer applied to be released from
his bargain. A second sale took pin m at nine months'
purchase on the alleged rental, but of an indefinite
number of years' purchase on actual value. The
commissioters yesterday allowed the objections of the
emend purchaser, and there is to be a third sale !
The investigation held at Cork relative to the late
fatal riots there, when the military and the mob were
engaged against the police, was brought to a termina-
tion on Wednesday by the discharge of the coroner's
jury without agreeing to any verdict.
