DUBLIN EXHIBITION.

Mr. Deane left Dublin on Tuesday for England, to
superintend in person the return of the voidable pictures
which he obtained there during his canvass for the Fine
Arts section of the Great Exhibition. The committee
have acted most wisely in deputing Mr. Deane to under-
take this responsible duty, and we are convinced it will
have the effect of ensuring increased confidence in the
minds of those who have entrusted pictures on the late
occasion to Ireland, should they be solicited at any
future time to transmit works of art across the channel
for the National Gallery, the establishment of which we
rejoice to say may be considered an accomplished fact.

(From the North British Mail.)
We may fairly say that the Dublin Exhibition has
greatly raised the character of the Irish in the estimation
of their British fellow subjects, while it has given the
former a juster and kindlier opinion of the British. A
closer acquaintanceship has produced a better liking on
both sides. In this change of feeling great importance
may be attached as a preparative for that complete inter-
fusion of the people and capital of the three kingdoms
which is so essential to the improvement of Ireland.
And both in industry and in politics we may expect a
far more cordial co-operation of the people of the two-
islands than formerly. Closely connected with this ad-
vantage flowing from the Exhibition is another not to be
despised as an agent of social progress and refinement. A.

annually into Ireland. Sir Walter Scott by his novels in-
spired an admiration for the scenery and traditions of his
country which has attracted crowds every year from all
parts of the world into its remotest districts ; and we
need not say how much and varied benefit Scotland has
derived from these annual pilgrimages. The Exhibition.
will do the same service in some degree for Ireland.
Thousands who have crossed the channel this year under
the strong attraction of the Irish Temple of Industry
will repeat their visit, and will draw others with them-
Ireland will thus be placed in the current of that travel-
ling movement which has become so great a charac-
teristic of the times. It is not merely the money which.
tourists spend, and the improvement which they are the
means of introducing into road and inns, and other
social arrangements, but the new ideas which they carry
with them, the stimulus they give to thought and enter-
prise, and the enlargement of heart and intellect they so
often spread into barbarols and sluggish districts, which.
render this result one of no small importance to Ireland.
Dublin, as the seat of the Exhibition, has naturally at-
tracted the attention of strangers, and is Ne l
k entitled

complimentary notice. Whether visitors considered the
politeness and hospitality of the citizens, o V
r
splendour of the public buildings, or examined the insti-
tutions, or turning into the country perceived the
beauty and amplitude of the suburbs, they were sure to
find abundant reason for satisfaction. Dublin, and its
vicinity, indeed present few of those features which have
given an unenviable notoriety to Ireland.... The marks%
of wealth, intelligence, and refinement, abound on every
side. The streets of Dublin have probably been more

equipages. the cars and vehicles, the crowds of well
dressed people, the squares and terraces, and the countless
mansions of the suburbs, to be impressed with the wealth,
and greatness of the Irish capital. From Killiney Hill,
on the south-eastern verge of the Bay of the city,
seven or eight miles of a broad and gently sloping coun-
try intervene; and the whole of this immense space is
filled with rows of private residences, trees, and gardens.

citizen of Dublin, whose liberal Robert
liberality and kindness certainly
deserve the warmest praise. We have seldom met with
an instance in which so much money has been spent, and
spent to better purpose, with the pure intent of pro-
moting the enjoyment of fellow-beings ; and if anybody
should wish to see what the poet meant by "the luxury
of doing good," we should certainly direct him to Kula
liney Hill. Mr. Warren seems to be one of these genial
spirits no longer rare in the Irish capital, and whom the
pacific character of the times is bringing more and more
into public view, who need only to bind themselves to.
gether in practical and well-directed efforts to succeed,
completely in establishing the lasting welfare and proa
sperity of Ireland.

ISLE OF Max BANK.—The draughts of the Isle ot
Man Bank (Messrs. Holmes and Co.) were refused ae.
ceptance yesterday by their London agents, but merely
from a temporary cause, the death of one of the partners
a few weeks ago having been followed within the last
day or two by that of the only survivor. The estate is
understood to be in every respect ample, and the pre-
sent suspension is therefore adopted only until the eie:,
cutor can ascertain his position, and make the necessary
arrangements for liquidation. It was a bank of issue
