DUBLIN.

Every visit to Ireland since the treaty, which was eigned six years ago. has conarmed my conviction that the things which Irishmen are really capable of producing are infinite varieties of surprises, writes a correspondent to a London paper. With an international reputation for its dear dirt until a few years age, Dublin to-day is one of the best-pared. cleanest, and most efficiently managed cities in Europe.

Three young men acting as City Commissioners for the Government have tackled the tenement alum problem with amazing vigour and effect. They have covered hun dreds of seres surrounding the city with modern picturesque workers" dwelings and miles of suburban. roads at a cost exceeding 22,000,000.

We are in a dilemma, for we cannot go on for want of money and we cannot stop with safety. The whole cost of the nave will be 550,000, besides £10,000 for the organ. This estimate has been carefully made with the know. ledge of the condition of the building that we have gained by, the restoration so far, and it is almost certainly correct. --As for na we can see, when the restora tion is complete there will be nothing more than ordinary smalle. repairs needed for many cen- turies, Be the structure will be sounder than it has ever been ence it was built..

Jealous, Helfast.

In Northern Ireland changes are different but not less dramatic. Belfast, growing jealous of Dublin's civic advaare, has forgotten about the Pope, and reserves its impreca- tions for those who muddle ita municipal affairs.

The development of road trans- port is the most striking of the recent departures. I have powered some hundreds of miles in vehicles which are at least as comfortable ne any have used in Eugland.

Not only the more thickly populated areas, but also through the remotest parts of the South had West, thousands of miles of rapidly improving roads daily ac commodate omnibus services which bring hitherto isolated farms into direct touch with Dublin. Belfast, Cork, and other large towns.

The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family are taking the greatest interest in the work of restoration of the chapel, which is so closely associated with the Order at the Garter,
