Trio INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION IN CORR.—There
is one advantage connected with this exhibition of the in-
dustrial resources of Ireland, upon which we cannot lay too
much stress; it will be a new inducement to the English to
visit Ireland ; they will thus rub off prejudices by actual
contact with a people always hospitable and " pleasant" to
strangers; they will thus learn to cultivate those kindly
feelings and generous sympathies which are ever engendered
by acquaintance with the Irish " at home;" they will see
a people full to overflowing of original power; and a coun-
try rich to exuberance in natural advantages and scenic
beauty; they will travel at all times in comfort and security
—security from the insolence, the impositions and annoy-
anc2s, which continental travellers invariably encounter: for
every stranger who enters Ireland, Ireland will obtain a new
friend 1 All who desire the improvement of Ireland, all who
have affection for its people, hopes in their on-progress, and
faith in their future, must therefore rejoice at any event
which may bring the Irish and the English more often to.

good promise that will be soon succeeded by fulfilment. We
earnestly advise those of our English friends who desire

summer month's enjoyment, to Visit Ireland now; their
pleasure will be unalloyed by any deleterisus influence (at
all events as soon as the elections have
