A Gentleman Horsewhipped in the Dublin

Exhibition,

On Tuesday evening the Canadian commissioner, Capt.
Cuff, had occasion to see one of the officials of the building,
Mr. Iselin, on some matter of business connected with the
exhibition, when in the course of the conversation which
ensued Mr. Iselin told Capt. Cuff, in reply to an observa-
tion he had made, that it was a lie. Capt. Cuff adopted the
course that most gentlemen would have taken under the
circumstances, and horsewhipped Mr. Iselin on the spot.
The latter called two policemen and gave Capt. Cuff in
charge, who at once accompanied them en route to the
nearest station. Before they had reached it, however, Mr.
Iselin thought it better to withdraw the charge. Captain
Cuff was accordingly released, and so the matter ended.
We should gladly allow the subject hero to drop, were it
not that by proceedings such as these the character and
popularity of the exhibition are injured, and the dis-
courtesy of an official is attributable to all. We regret,
too, to have to add—and the fact cannot be unknown to the
committee—that complaints have frequently been made of
a want of courtesy on the part of Mr. Iselin. Of the offi-
cials generally we can speak in no terms but thoso of praise ;
they have had an arduous duty to perform, and they have
done it well, and above all have avoided giving unnecessary
offence. The public, on whom the success of such an ex-
hibition as this entirely depends, have a right to expect the
utmost courtesy and attention, and so in an even greater
degree have those who, like Capt. Cuff, come to Ireland as
the representatives of important states, whose sympathy
and support have contributed so much to the success of the
exhibition. We believe that in appointing Mr. Iselin to
the post which he fills, the committee (anxious as they no
doubt were to do what was best) made a mistake, but
having made it, they can at least insist that offensive ex-
pressions such as those we are informed were made use of
yesterday shall not be repeated, and that visitors to our
exhibition shall not have to say that they experienced a
want of that proverbial courtesy and bonhomie which have
ever been the characteristics of this side of the Chan-
nel.—lrish Times.

In reference to this very unpleasant affair, the annexed
letter has been published :

" Dublin International Exhibition, August 23.
" Sir,—l have seen with great surprise a paragraph in
the Irish Times this morning, which contains a most dis-
torted and garbled account of a transaction which occurred
in the Exhibition Building on the previous day. I shall at
present content myself with saying that the conduct of
Captain Cuff and my demeanour in the transaction re-
ferred to will be the subject of judicial investigation within
the next two days, and 1 prefer the matter should be ex-
plained in this satisfactory mode rathor than made the sub-
ject of newspaper controversy. I write this not for the
satisfaction of friends or acquaintances, who, I am satisfied,
know I am incapable of the part attributed to me iu the
Irish Times, but in deference to the public who frequent the
Exhibition.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient
servant,

"J. F. IsELIN, General Superintendent."

PETROLEUM.—The product of oil in Pennsylvania
is set down at 3,500,000 barrels of crude oil for the year
1865, and worth, taking an average of prices, $24,000,000
at the mouth of the wells. When carried to the refining
establishments and purified, this product of petroliem is
worth upwards of $60,000,000 dollars, or half as much as
the wheat crop, or one-fourth as much as the cotton or
corn crop, taking an average of five years before the war
as the basis of the estimate.-13ufalo Advertiser.

MR. BRIGHT.—The Illinois State Journal publishes
the following curious letter from Mr. Bright to Mr.
George F. Train :—" Rochdale, September 2, 1861.—Dear
Sir,—l have to thank you for your note and the enclosure.
The paper (the New York Herald) from which the extract is
taken does immense harm to the North—it is Southern as
much as it dare be, and gives to Europe always the
worst possible impressions of your country. I fear you
are too sanguine as to the success of the North. Up to

through through this terrible crisis. I grieve in my very soul for
what is passing in the States—for freedom throughout the
world, and for ages to come, may suffer, if your great Con-
stitution is doomed to a collapse. But the enslavement of
4,000,000 of human beings is a crime which cannot easily
be expiated or got rid of. The devil has been cherished
for a century, and now turns and rends you. But what-
ever comes, I am with the North, and my sympathies are
for freedom. lam glad your street railways are extending,
though you have a disappointment in the Bayswater-road.
—Yours truly, Jo= BRIGHT.
