DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 18661
On Wednesday evening, at the ordinary meeting of
the Society of Arts, Lord Dufferin, K.C.8., in the chair, o°,l
interesting paper on the " Progress of Irish Industry an
the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865," was reatl:bl
Sir It. Kane, F.R.S. The paper pointed out the advance that
had been made in various Irish manufactures and Judo'
tries during the past ten years, and gave a detail cf
steps that had been taken towards the establishment of the
second great International Exhibition in Ireland, ba
opened in May next year. It was shorn that a very ge°
representation would be made, not only of Irish mantlfili
tures, but of the best specimens of art and indtastry of f
the leading States of Europe, as well as of India, and
°
many of the principal British colonies. The hearty e°.
operation of British artists and manufacturers was invited'
in order that all the credit might not fall to foreign el 11::
bitors. At the close of the paper a discussion ensued, T. 7"
which Lord Powerscourt, Mr Chichester Fortescue, Mr
Cole, C. 13., Mr Hawes, the Chairman of the Council, 913
other gentlemen took part. In response to an appeal INm
the chairman, Mr Hercules Macdonnell and Mr Antonio
Brady gave an account of the cordial reception and entba:
siast c promises of support they had received in th.°..iswf
countries of the Continent which they had visited en
of the Exhibition.

THE MAGNESIUM LIGHT.—A singular circlia.
stance was communicated to the French photo'
graphic Society at its last sitting by M. Placet. The Inagrje:
sium light is so powerful, that when placed at a short _i;
tance from the object-glass it will melt its surface. An
object-glass spoilt in this way was produced by him at that
sitting. Photographers had better take the hint, and /I°t
bring the light too near the apparatus.
Go AND GET HANGED ELSEWHERE.—The Salut
Public gives the following as the origin of tb,
popular French saying, " Allez vous faire pendre
—"A thief was arrested in one of the smallest principalttte
of Germany, and condemned to be hanged, but when di°
sentence was about to be put into execution the discoverY
was made that two things were wanted—a hangman and
gibbet. What was to be done ? The authorities hesitated to
incur such a needless outlay, as the incident was the first 01
the kind. So as the poor wretch was penniless they Plc:
him small sum of money to go and get hanged elsewhere.
Thence the popular French saying.
ADDITIONS TO THE PARLIAMENT HOUSE GAL'
LERY.—Yesterday four paintings were added to 08
collection in the Parliament House. They comprise thde-
following portraits : —Lord Brougham (by Macnee) ; ~
Elde n (by Colvin Smith) ; Lord Harcarse (by scougall)
and Sir David Rae (by Raeburn). The portrait of Lord
Brougham was exhibited in the Parliament House 1886
year, but was afterwards removed in order to make Oil!a
alterations in the attitude and costume. As the portrait
has been altered his lordship is made to appear in the robe
of Chancellor of the University ; and there can be no clout
d%
that in all respects considerable improvement has been made
upon the painting.—Edinburgh Courant.
THE ALLEGED CONFESSION OF A "'—
Sg
MURDER.—About a fortnight since a report IP;
peared in many of the daily and weekly papers, copied 11.°4
the local papers of South Wales, to the effect that there ,
been a confession of an atrocious Welsh murder commit"
some years ago in Glamorganshire. The report stated ilia t,i
the lover of the young girl that was so brutally mardrhe&
had just died, and had confessed on his deathbed that
was the perpetrator of the cruel deed. It now turns °134,
that no such confession was made, and that, in fot'htnie
young man is still alive, and consequently the ty'''
story was a hoax.
A SIIOAL OF PORPOISES IN THE THAMES.'"—Ie::
o,
terday afternoon some surprise was excited t t
appearance of a number of porpoises in the River Thaw
off the Tower, disporting themselves on the surface of ther
water, when not disturbed by the passage of the steavleo
and other large vessels. The creatures appeared beuta
making their way above bridge, and on being discovele
re
number of small boats were manned and put off to eaPcubc
the unusual visitors, three of them being taken and bro",-
ashore, each upwards of a yard in length and of Pr°l7,o
donate bulk, and they were subequently exhibited at
fishmongers' shops in Bond-street. The appearanceer
these fish so high up the river is said to indicate teWl)

tuous and stormy weather.
