Secretary of State took care to exact satisfactory
evidence that the party was one who ought to be

cover that she- has. deprived herself, through this

privilege of extending the hand of clemency to the

actually decoying the unfortunate into a trap by

The Cark Exhibition has opened under the most
favourable auspices. The most sanguine anticipations
of its projectors and promoters have been fully and
completely verified. The experiment has, indeed,
been eminently successful, and there can be but little
doubt that the r_sulta will be very beneficial, not
only to the. metropolis of the south and the adjoining
counties, but even to the entire of Ireland. The
gentlemen who embarked hand and heart in the un-
dertaking, sparing neither time, trouble, or expense,
have ample cause for self- gratulation at the matured
fruits of their labours. Ttie invitations which they
addressed to the community were promptly and libe-
rally responded to. Handsome contributions flowed
in even from unexpected quarters, end ample funds
were thus provided. Nor were ample contributions
of another description wanting. Specimens of Irish
productions, Irish manufacturer, and Irish :art, were
obtained in great abundance, and to an extent re-
quiring the erection of a spacious building for their
suitable reception. This also was provided with ex-
traordinary celerity. Two gentlemen of great archi-
tectural experience and ability devoted their entire
time to the labour of love. Within little more than
eix weeks, Sir THOMAS DEANE and Mr. BENSON had
designed and superintended the construction of a
building admirably suited for the various purposes for
which it was required, and contaiiing suites of spa-
cious apartments that reflected the greatest credit on
all parties engaged in their erection and decoration.
There was no flagging or procrastination. Every
man, even to the humblest labourer employed, ap-
peared to feel as if the entire matter depended on his
individual exertions, and that the • honour of his
,country was involved in the issue, and they have
had their reward. Thursday, the 10th of June, was
indeed " a great day Lr Ireland," and more espe-
cially so for the inhabitants and natives of the" beau-
tiful city"
which has token the lead in this 'aurae
liarly felicitous national movement.
We have raid that contributions flowed in from
many unexpected quarters. Mr. C. P. RONLY (for-
merly the respected secretary of the Eastern CountiEs
Railway Conapny), a gentleman who has acquieeal
an European reputation for his thorough practical
knowledge-of the railway system, and ability
in developieg traffic to the utmost ex-
tent, lent his valuable assistance. He can-
vassed his extensive connexions earnestly and ef-
fectively, and thus obtained large pecuniary aid. But
this was by. no means all or even the most valuable
portion of his exertions. Through his influenee the
various railway companies in England, as well as in
Ireland, afforded every encouragement to the pro,
ject. Not only were articles intended for ex.
hibition conveyed . gratuitously over the different
lines, but a system of cheap fares were pro-
jected calculated to tempt persons to visit
Ireland, and behold its natural productions and na-
tural beauties' under the most favourable auspices.
The steam-packet companies co-operated in a similar
spirit. None, indeed, who could advance the great
national object were idle or apathetic. Many earned
far themselves the thanks and gratitude of the people
0,..! Ireland, and perhaps none more so than Mr.
it°lqEY, to whose energetic exertions we have above
alluded.
