coloured glasses, and in a distorted medium—the
first consideration usually being, not the intrinsic
merits of the proposition, but the politics of the indi-
vidual or body from which it had emanated. The
Cork Exhibition, however, happily proved an excep-
tion to the general rule. The project was one so
eminently national in its conception and character as
to enlist in its favour the sympathies of every true-
hearted Irishman, whether Whig or Tory, Conser-
vative or Radical, Protectionist or Free-trader,
Protestant or Roman Catholic. All parties seemed
animated by a kindly and patriotic spirit
and a firm determination to avoid every topic
that might by any possibility excite heart-
burnings, that the only competition should ba which
could most efficiently promote the objects of the
undertaking, and thereby advance the welfare and
prosperity of their fatherland. We trust that the
auspicious results will teach Irishmen the mischief
as well as the folly of internecine disputes, and the
frightful and almost incalculable evils of
" Civil dissension, with its vip'rous tooth,
That gnaws the bowels of the common weal."

Should it do so, the 10th of June will prove the com-
mencement of a new era in the history of the sister
kingdom, the forerunner of what we earnestly hope
may prove a long and uninterrupted course of national
prosperity.
Another valuable lesson will be taught by the gor-
geous spectacle. The wonderful natural resources of
Ireland, and the ingenuity and industry of her chil-
dren will be placed in a proper point of view. It
will be shown that there are ample materials for the
remunerative employment of the industrial popula-
tion of Ireland, and that there will be handsome pro-
fits for the capitalists who provide the means for set-
ting the wheels of Irish industry in motion. The
intelligent end enterprising men who view the native
productions of the Isle of the West, will see whether
her natural capabilities are developed to the ut-
most, and whether many exceedingly favourable
opportunities for speculation are not still
open which it would be most injudicious to neglect.
They will see that labour can be obtained to almost
any extent at a lower rate of wages than in almost
any civilized nation ; and they will also ascertain that
none will work more efficiently and energetically, or
display greater aptitude for the acquirement of
practical skill in any department of industry,
than the maligned and calumniated Irish peasant.
All he requirei is fair play and judicious treatment.
Prove to him that he receives just remuneration for
his labour—that he obtains " a fair day's wages for a
feir day's work"—that it is his interest to tax all his
energies to maintain his position, and do not run
counter to the prejudices which, however absurd
they may appear to strangers, have " grown with
his growth end strengthened with his strength,"
and you will find that Irishmen will merit in their
own country the character which they have achieved
is America, in Australia, and indeed in every clime
to which they have emigrated, and that they will
prove grateful, efficient, and faithful servants to con-
siderate and unexacting masters.
But perhaps the most valuable result will be the
stimulus afforded to railway enterprise in Ireland.
The LORD•LIEUTENAINT, who has earned for himself
the thanks and gratitude of the Irish community
for his conduct on the occasion, and for the hearty
and enthusiastic manner in which he afforded his best
assistance to the undertaking, and to which its extra-
ordinary success may. in no trifling degree be attri-
buted, selected the opening banquet as a fitting oppor-
tunity for the offioial announcement that the Govern-
ment bad, on his representations, consented to reduce
the interest on. the advances to the Irish railway
companies frOm 5 to 4 per cent. This was a wel-
come boon, not so much for the pecuniary relief
afforded as for the principle enunciated. It shows
the kindly spirit in which Irish interests are regarded
in the Cabinet and also testifies that the security
given and the punctuality exhibited by the
borrowers are such as to dispense with a
high, if not usurious, rate of interest, a portion of
which should be applied as en insurance fund to
guard against losses that might arise. While Go-
vernment charged 5 per cent. interest the companies
could scarcely hope to obtain any necessary accom-
modation, from private capitalists, on reasonable
terms. The reduction of interest by the Government,
after having had experience of some years repay-
ments, will do much to place the question on a just
foundation, and will prove far more beneficial to
railway shareholders in Ireland than many times the
amount of the reduction afforded.

Believing, as we do, that the full development of
the railway system in Ireland, and the com-
pletion of the great trunk lines, and in some
instances of local feeders, will constitute the
principal element in promoting the prosperity of Ire-
land, we hail with great satisfaction the implied
pledge that his Excellency, and the Government of
which he is a member, will afford due encourage-
ment, and render the necessary assistance to every
well-devised project, that is in a'position to apply for
pecuniary aid from the national Exchequer. If
such were not the case, Lord EGLINTON would not so
emphatically have directed attention to the declaration
of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that " the
claims of Ireland for assistance are irresistible," or so
significantly alluded to the plan propounded by the
late lamented Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, declaring
that "he would have voted for that Bill," and that
" he felt it his duty to encourage railway enterprise
in the country." These declarations will not be for-
gotten or disregarded. The capitalists who may be
tempted to visit the country by the attractions df the
Exhibition, and the wise and prudent inducements
held out by the various railway companies to tourists,
will see the beneficial channels for investment ; and
we may ere long hope to see Ireland covered with an
iron network, and profiting by the experience that
has been attained in this country, the speculators
will avoid the costly mistakes that have occurred, so
that the undertakings will prove as profitable to them-
selves as they must be beneficial to Ireland.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Minister of War having gone to Vichy, M. Ducos,
the Minister of Marine, acts as Minister of War during his
absence.

The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic received on Satur-
day at a private audience delegates from the board of direc-
tors of the company Dollfus and Cusin-Legendre, which
offers to undertake a steam service between Havre and New
York. The PRESIDENT conversed for a length of time with
these gentlemen on the subject, and expressed his regret
that such a line of transatlantic communication as
they spoke of did not exist. The delegates withdrew, well
satisfied with their reception. It appears that this company
has signed a treaty with the American company to which the
Franklin and the Humboldt belong, in order to ensure a
better service, and obviate all idea of competition.
The Salut Public of Lyons states that it has received a
letter from Paris, announcing that the cavalry under General
DE CASTELLANE'S orders at IJyon3 is about to be diminished
oue half, as there are about to be left only one regiment o f
dragoons, and one of cuirassiers.
By a decision of the Minister of the Interior the subsidy
hitherto granted to the Poles has been withdrawn. The fol-
lowing are the motives given by the Minister for this de-
cision :—" In granting subsidies to all political refugees who
had to fear rigorous measures against them in their own
countries, France has had for object to shelter them from
present distress, and to enable them to wait until they could
provide for themselves the means of existence. This she has
done for twenty -five years, and her generosity ought now to
have an end, and be reserved for rare and exceptional cases,
or when infirmities prevent any employment."
The French squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral
Baron LA SITSSE, arrived at Tunis on the Ist inst.
The Patric states that very satisfactory accounts have just
been received from Tahiti. The best understanding, it is
said, exists between Queen POMARE and the French autho -
Titles. At the date of these accounts two agents of the
American Peninsula Company had arrived to make ar-
rangements for its steamers to touch at Tahiti periodically.
The Bourse was remarkably firm, with an improvement in
prices. There was a considerable amount of business trans-
acted in Railway Shares. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
opened at 100 f. -50 c., and closed at 100 f. 65c. for the end of

MONEY and- COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton' at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed steadily at about previous rates. The sales comprised
250 Pernam and Maranham at 6%d. to 6%cl , 80 Bahia at
6%d. to 6 Thd., 300 Egyptian at to 400 Surat at
4d. to 4%d., 120 Sea Island ls. sd. to is. 49c1., and the
remainder American.—Railway Shares were in good demand
at higher prices.
The Brazilian mail brings 100,0004 in specie. The Coffee
market was very high. Exchange on London, 26%. In
imports the business was very moderate.
The Buenos Ayrean advices are interesting. The rate of
exchange on London was 655. 6d. per ounce. There was
not much increase in the stock of manufactured goods
during April, but the activity noticed during March still
prevailed; and the wholesale stores were much relieved
in consequence. During the early
*part of the month
there was a brisk demand for the province of Sauté Fe, and
there 'were likewise considerable parcels of goods sent to
Entrerios. The merchants, however, had experienced great
difficulty, because not placed on a par with the Monte
Videans, who were allowed a return, of duties' and the de-
posit system, both favourable to sales for the interior
provinces. ' Just before these accounts left, how-
ever, the Government had met the difficulty bye
a decree which grants the requisite immunities
and privileges. The accidental circumstances above enume-
rated as operating prejudicially upon trade, had been aggra-
vated by a further depreciation of the currency and conco-
mitant reaction in the exchange. In exports the stock of
hides was limited. Freights were still depressed, owing to
the number of vessels. Some had gone from Monte Video
to Patagonia to load with guano. The new Government
appears to have been giving satisfaction, and General Ur-
quiza was popular. His recognition of the independence of
Paraguay is an earnest of patriotism and pacific intentions.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 12th instant was
buoyant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 63%
Spanish American Securities were higher.
At Hamburgh last Friday the rate of exchange on London
was still 13 7. Stocks were without alteration, except
Spanish, which were in request. Discounts were rather
higher.
From St. Petersburgh, according to advices of the 7th
June, the export business continued dull. Grain was quite
neglected. Of imports generally there were abundant sup-
plies and business was very dull.
The discount houses are overloaded with money and not at
all desirous to take in deposits even at 1 per cent.
In the English Stock Market,
hashave reached t 9b9e e%n
quiet. 'Consols, after realising 99% Vi, ache

quoted 102% to 103, and the Three per Cents. mu %.
Bank Stock is worth 222% to 223%. Exchequer-bills are
marked 765. for those dated March, and 675. to 703. for the
June dated.
Foreign Stocks are very firm, and the settlement of the
account brings up Mexican, worth: 251 at the com-
mencement of business, but now at 24 to 251/s. Spanish
Passive Bonds are 5%, and Portuguese our per Cents. 37%.
Grenada
Nominally Spanish Five per Cents. are 21% aA,

Bonds have been marred 117. &lgian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. 94% to 95, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 644.
Railway Shares have been all buoyant, and fuller prices
r have been obtained in most instances.
Mining Shares have been steady.
The English and Australian Copper Company have
also
received advices from Mr. Joseph Brown, dated Singapore,
the 17th April last, on which day he was to sail from that
port for Port Philip. It should be understood that this
gentleman, with a competent assayer, was sent out expressly
for the purpose of buying Gold for account of this company,
which, doubtless, they will, be enabled to do at a very fair
rate of profit.
Advices have been received by the directors of the Port
Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company, dated the 17th
of April last; they announce the departure from Singapore of
Evan Hopkins, Esq., and the staff of officers under his orders,
who would proceed direct to Port Philip to commence
operations.
