HER MAJESTY'S INTENDED VISIT TO THE
DUBLIN EXHIBITION.

We are informed that it is the present gracious inten-
tion of the Queen to honour the Exhibition in Dublin
with a short visit of three or four days, en route to Scot-
land, at the end of the session of Parliament. Her Ma-
jesty will be accompanied by Prince Albert and the
royal children, and by some of her royal and distin-
guished foreign guests. It is now considered that if no
unexpected delays shall occur, Parliament may be ad-
journed at the end of July, or, at farthest, in the first
week of August. This mark of her Majesty's conside-
ration for, and of favour to, this successful attempt of
her Irish subjects, cannot fail to excite the most lively
feelings of satisfaction amongst her people on the other
side of the channel, now scarcely divided by space or af-
fection from the rest of her most loyal and devoted sub-
jects. It is also fully expected that a very large
sprinkling of lords and commoners will avail themselves
of the cessation of their labours for the session, to enjoy
the natural beauties of the Emerald Isle, and to judge
for themselves of the feelings and the condition of the
people of Ireland.—Observer.
