DAILY CRESCENT.

OPENING OF TsIE GREAT IRISH EXHIBITION AT
DUBLIN. - The Worlds Fair at Dublin was
opened on the 10Th May, with great splendor,
in a speech from the Lord Lieutenant. The
weather was fine, and vast crowds assembled
to witness the procession of the Lords and
Ladies, the Vicereal Government Of Ireland,
invited guests and their escort of several regi-
ments Of troops. No less than $1,000 persons
were in the building ON the first day A letter,
speaking Of the exhibition building, says:
IS The spectator may fancy himself on enter
ing in n vast cathedral, composed of labyrinth
of light pillars and lofty circular arches, the
grand naive being 100 feet in width and 425
feet in height The trelliced galleries, raised
between the double collonadcs which separate
the naiyes, have an exceedingly beautiful effect.
A light blue tint which pervades the whole,
with the glass roofs, and gorgeous escutcheons
hanging on either side, have, on the whole, an
appearance of exceeding grandeur and beauty"
The Lord Lieutenant in his opening speech
thus refers to the increasing prosperity Of Ire
land
81 am happy to believe that Industry is
spreading throughout the land, and that pau
lerism and crime are every where decreasing.
If we look to agriculture, We find its advance
most remarkable [IIear.1 In the last twenty
years | believe million Of acres Of waste land
have been reclaimed, and that three millions
have been expended in draining and improving
Of Irish soil is now equal to the produce Of Eng
l.h soil, result which Sir A. Young almost
thought too sanguine to predict when he wrote
his account of the agriculture Of Ireland
Hear A system of improved husbandry has
been every where introduced, and the best i'm
PIGMENTS of husbandry are now in general use
and believe those who saw the cattle show
here few weeks ago will say that the lrisl
farmer is capable of exhibiting cattle not sur
PASSED in the show at Smithfeld. Hear.
Then again, the culture of flax is extending
with marvellous rapidity'
The manufacture Of lace, he also stated, hac
wonderfully increased, while in point Of beaut.
and design Of execution, it was equal to that 0
any Of the foreign countries, and nothing but
deficiency in the supply would induce them f
import il from foreign countries. Then tn
manufacture of sewed muslin, he further stated
gives employment to half a million young womel
Of ireland, and about 600, 600 is distributes
in wages to those employed in its manufacture
All these, he said, are very encouraging consid
erations, and warrant the assertion that indus
try is spreading throughout the land
