THE DV:

BITION.

DUBLIN, MAY 16.
On Saturday, during the whole period that the Indus-
trial Palace remained open to the public it was filled
with visitors, fresh arrivals continuing to pour in from
twelve until five o'clock, although the last corners had

scarcely an hour to enjoy the scene. The peculiar fine-
ness of the day was an additional inducement, and the
building in every point of view looked to great advan-
tage. On Saturday the total number of visitors, exclu-
sive of exhibitors, was 5,113, of whom 231 were admitted
on payment at the doors. Holders of season tickets are
admitted at the entrance of the Great Nave, and those
on payment at the doors at that of the Northern Hall,
where it may be well to observe that a:notice is affixed
intimating that "no'change can be returned." This is
for the obvious purpose of preventing delay. The egress
for all visitors is through the porch of the Southern Hall,
no person being allowed to pass out through the other
doors. The sale of season tickets still proceeds with
great vigour. _

The work of unpacking and fitting up additional cases
goes on apace in all quarters, and Mr. Thompson, under
whose able superintendence they are classified and ar-
ranged in their respective positions, is pressing forward
the arduous labours of his department with unceasing
zeal. Waggons laden with packages continue to arrive
at the building, and Mr. O'Hagan, who has charge of
their reception, is still actively engaged with his assist-
ants in superintending their storage and facilitating their
distribution in their proper classes. Further arrivals
are yet expected, of which the most important are among
the French contributions, which will, when completely
developed, form a very interesting section of the foreign
display. _ _

On Saturday a still further advance towards comple-
tion was apparent in the improved appearance of all parts
of the Exhibition. In the Great Nave several new
cases for the display of manufactures were put up,
and additional statues were mounted. The fountain,
which is to form a very conspicuous ornament, stand-
ing about thirty feet high at the eastern end, is rapidly
assuming its graceful proportions ; and, at the
other extremity of the hall the foundations of a second
fountain, to correspond, have been laid. In the inter-
mediate space will be an oblong iron stand of consider.
able dimensions, contributed by the Coalbrook Dale
Company, which, from its superior merits as a piece of
ornamental casting, will, it is supposed, compensate for
marring the effect of the fine vista which the whole ex-
tent of the great hall, in its uninterrupted prospect,
would present. On the platform at the western end,
below the organ, two full-sized bronze figures have been
erected, and form conspicuous and classic ornaments.
They were cast by Messrs. Elkington and Mason, of
London, from a design by Sir Charles Eastlake, and are
intended as ornaments for the House of Lords. Their ap-
pearance in our industrial temple is an evidence of the in-
terest felt in the Exhibition by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert. On Saturday afternoon, the opening of aponderous
chest attracted general attention, and the name of the exhi-
bitor engraved upon the outside in the significant terms,
" Her Majesty the Queen," excited an intense curiosity
to witness the treasures which it was expected to con-
tain. A crowd of spectators soon collecting around,
awaited the tedious process of removing the mass of
paper shreds in which the contents were enveloped, and
were ultimately rewarded for their patience by discover-
ing that the enclosure, so carefully protected, consisted
of magnificent specimens of regal plate.
As an evidence of the interest felt as to the Exhibition
by the French Government and press, we may state
that the proprietors of the Pays, the Paris journal which
is most directly in communication with the French Go-
vernment, have sent M. Alfred Busquet, one of their
most distinguished writers, to Dublin, to report upon
the Exhibition. M. Busquet arrived on Saturday. M.
Lemoine, of the Journal des Debut:, and two of the best
artists of the Paris Illustration, will be here in the
course of the ensuing week.
