In the corresponding months of 1851 the total
was 5,188,216/., showing, consequently, an increase
in the declared value of last month's exports of
914,478/. The increase is more manifest in the
textile fabrics than in the other articles of ex-
portation. Of metals also, and machinery, there
was a large exportation, while in refined sugar
there was a diminution. Wool was exported to
the extent of 349,789 lbs. more than in the cor-
Desponding month of 1851.

In the iiCaportsfor the month there was an increase
in the number of live animals, cocoa, coffee, flax,
lace, line manufactures, metals, rice, saltpetre, raw
silk, spirits, tobacco, and wine, but a falling off in
guano, hemp, oil, most provisions, and sugar.
The quantity of gold shipped from London direct
during the week to Thursday last, was 147,255
ounces, and of silver, 9,600 ounces. The whole
amount went to the Continent, and principally to
Hamburgh.

The Railway Share Market has been improving,

ARRIVAL OF THE NEW LORD-LIEUTENANT

OF IRELAND.

On Thursday morning, at 11 o'cloCk, after a rather
stormy passage of five hours, the new Viceroy, Earl St.
Germans, arrived at Kingstown, by the Prince Arthur,
City of Dublin Contract Mail steam-packet. There
were in waiting to receive the noble lord, the Right
Hon. Judge Keating and the Right Hon. Sir Thomas
Esmonde, as Privy Councillors ; Mr. Brewster, Captain
Cust, and some of the aides-de-camp and officers of the
household ; and Mr. A. B. Knane, chairman, and the
following directors of the Kingstown Railway were also
present :—Mr. George Roe, Mr. George Pim, Mr. Jas.
Magee, Mr. W. Haughton, and Mr. James Berry, and
Mr. T. F. Bergin, secretary to the company. A special
train, consisting of the Royal carriage and two first-
class, was in waiting, and conveyed the noble lord,
with his suite, and the gentlemen above mentioned,
to town. At the terminus, Westland-row, two of
the late Viceroy's carriages were in attendance, and
in these the noble lord, with his suite, proceeded
direct to the Castle. At one o'clock his Lordship pro-
ceeded from the private apartments in the Castle to the
Council-chamber, attended by the principal officers of
State. Dr. Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, and the
Commander of the Forces, the Right Hon. Lieut.-Gen.
Sir Edward Blakeney, K.C.G., C. 8., were seated at the
head of the council table as Lord Justices. They re-
mained covered, while the other Privy Councillors, as
well as Earl St. Geiinans, remained uncovered. The
members of the Privy Council who sat at the table were
the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in his robes
of state, the Bishop of Meath, the Right Hon. Francis
Blackburne, the Right Hon. Maziere Brady, the Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, Baron Greene, Judge Ball,
Judge Perrin, Sir Thomas Esmonde, Mr. Hatchell, Mr.
Napier, M.P., and Mr. Alex. M`Donnell. Mr. Justice
Moore, Mr. Brewster, Mr. Wm. Keogh, Mr. Corry
Connellan, Captain Bernard, &c., were
also in the
room. The noble Earl delivered to their Excellencies
the Lords Justices her Majesty's letters patent,
appointing him to the office of Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland. Mr. Christopher Fitzsimon, Clerk of
the Hanaper, having read the commission, the oath
of Chief Governor was administered to his lordship,
also the other usual oaths. Her Majesty's letters, au-
thorising and commanding the sword of state to be
delivered to Earl St. Germans, were then produced to
the Lords Justices, and the sword was accordingly pre-
sented by the Archbishop. The investiture with the
collar and chain of the Most Illustrious Order of St.
Patrick was then performed by Ulster King-at-Arms
(Sir W. Betham), on which the Lords Justices uncovered
and vacated their seats, and his Excellency having put
on his hat, sat at the head of the Council Board. The
room was then ordered to be cleared, and his Excellency
held his first Privy Council. On the breaking up of the
Council, the Viceroy proceeded to the Presence-chamber,
where he held a reception, at which the principal per-
sonages who were present at the Council, and several
of the officers of the household, were presented to his
Excellency. The Lord-peutenant shortly after took
his departure for the lodge in the Phcenix Park. It
could not be ascertained whether his Excellency intended
to return to London. Mr. Gustavus Tuite D'Alton,
stepson of the Marquis Headfort, has been appointed
private secretary to Sir John Young, the Irish Chief
Secretary.
