It is a great *aware to think that out of the public spirit of Masebtater cute Hale . spot in this region is rescued from civilization, and gives up to nature for ever. I refer to the new park, created some six or seven years ago. There the delighted eye will long be able to re pose on a green twig, and a smooth lawn. The genius of Manchester is in truth not mach given to Falstare weakaewe—green fields. No awe trim garden squares, u with se, relieve the fiery red-link monotony of the thoroughfares. The piece of water and vegetation surrounding the Infirmary , is the only merinos to Hygea and the Graces that I can call to mind is the toe n itself, and a filt pool still ironically called the Ardwick green—the o ily one lathe enhorb that is worthy of seance. In London, you have nothing to compere with Animate ; nor is it easy to convey toe leathern ap prehension, an exact, and yet not an exagg er at e d id ea of • popul ation so anomalous. Two generations of men have been reared on the spot since the mills were first erected in the locality, and the character of these men has been famed in the factory, under the discipline of masters strict in their daily requirements of order, duty, and punctuality. The new productive power of England—the source of our national wealth and prosperity—ths hope for many &Went and thoughtful minds in our sir ' the dread elf so many others, equally sincere in their desire to see every means of true progress laid under contribution —this colossal power stands by the side of these people from dawn till night, from birth to death, and whether for good or evil, has done its work upon them most completely. On the whole, I see reason to believe that the feetory system has not produced an evil result in this diritriet. In point of intellec tual development;both men and women are far above the average. So far as the cultivation of the mental faculties is concerned, the mill is one of the very best of whoolt, The moment a boy comes in contact • ith a =chine, he begins to change. The machinery is really dangerous, and for a time, at first, the worker is in momentary peril. This circumstance quickens his wits wonderfully. To duzu in a mill—to allow the faculties to fig for a single instant—would be about as safe as to nod on an omnibus running down Holborn-hill, or fall into a reverie while cresting the carriage way at Temple-bar. No one does it. The attention is kept incessantly en the stretch; and although very pailful at first, the mind and body habituate th.mselves in time to the tension required ; and a marvellous promptitude of ac , ion, quickness of perceptive organs, and readiness of res .urce, are the consequence of this necasenry mastery over the =whiner. The artizan of Ancoats is generally a hard worker and a hard thinker. He takes • good deal of interest in politics, has some knowledge ,of public men, and in the beer-house, or, as the case may be, in the reading-room of his lyceum, keeps tolerably up with the progress cf event,. Formerly the men of this district met in nightly conclave in a convenient spot called the "New Crow, where Accosts, Old ham-street, Man-street, and Olilbanercad, four of the widest thoroughfares in Manchester, converge 7 te discuss the various reforms of the day, the, minis terial vir.o s of Lord Melbourne, Henry Brougham, Sir Robert Peel, and Druid O'Connell. Here, every night in the week, might have been gathered by an attentive observer and listener the opinions of the workmen of the cotton district on every question of public interest. Many a time have 1 elbowed my way into the midst of the excited group, to listen to the vehement ors and laugh at the hearty mea.ures of the •ster mechanics. When political feel ing errs dormant, the " two nations" found a perpetual resource in their difference of religion. The " Pope" and the " Virgin " come in for the most jokes and sarcasms on the aide of the men of Lances : th• Irishman usually retorted upon the pubic merits of George 111., and the private virtues of his 6011 and successor . The progress of the police has put an end to these provincial parliaments ; and, instead of find ing good-humoured grcups enjoying their talk and their jokes in the open air of an evening—as may', still be seen in Paris, or in nearly every German town —the observer must seek for them in the low pot houses to which they have been driven in the name of " order "—that mockery and deluion of modern society. . . . AnCols is abort' a mile in length and half a mile in depth. Cutting this mum of mills and cottages into nearly equal parts, is the canal which connects Manchester with the north-eastern rivers of England. A e'reet, called Union-street, runs slung the bank of this canal—the other side being formed by a range of grim and somewhat majestic mills, each mill being worth about 50,0001. or 60,0001. The first three factories of the range belong to three brothers— Henry, James, and William M'Counell, and these we ars now about to visit in company with one of the urbane proprietors. These three mills contain 143,000 spindle., and the value of a concern being generally reckoned at something less than twenty shillings a spindle, the amount of capital inres•ed in these " M'Coirnell Mills" mast be considerably more than a hundred thousand pounds. As I told you in my former letter, hardly any man in Manchester has had a grandfather. On this soil men are grown; nee, calm, self-sustained, vigorous in stocks in a word, the founders of fami lies. With a frankness which does him infinite honour, Mr. M'Connell was good enough to sketch for me a put of his father's career. He was one of those restless, unquiet spirits which exist at all times, bat find their work and mike their best efforts in periods of change and convulsion. In his native village, in I the Scotch lowlands , he was famous as a mechanic— ' having a faculty for keeping village clocks in order; with a tarn to erratic courses under a decent sobriety of demeanour. Like the chil dren of many families in the north, he was betttr educated than the order to which he belonged. Indeed this may be considered the cue with nearly all the new rren who have come up in this district— and am row wielding its gigantic powers. Their wealth has come to them as a natural tribute to their energy of character and superior knowledge. Mr. M'Connell had two companions, somewhat like himself, named Murray and Kenneday ; and these three youths determined to migrate to El Dorado together. (In foot they trudged it—Lke the great heroes of antiquity—with great thoughts in their minds but very little tiller in their s. One may fancy these lads arriving one Co c ky morn ing so far on their journey southward as Chowbent, very weary and footsore, their money nearly spout, and their brogues worn out— and, in spite of the sternness of the Presbyterian tenets in wl ich they had been reared at novae, one of there, compelled by the necessities of the cue, to go in search of the cobbler of Chow- i bent, and, Sunday as it was, set him to work 'pan the said brogues, and then part with his last bread pit oe as the rs word of the friendly cobbler's industry. So ther say it was; and the yams lad, with his fa tes*, Ike Cinderella, on his feet, walked on to Man cheater, and in time rue op to eminence and power. These youths, as I have said, possessed a geaiva for mechanics; they began to rook+ the new machine* sad sell them. An accidental misfortune drove them into the actual manufacture. They had made a mule or two fur some persons who either wield not, or would not, take them when finished. Having the machines on his hands, Mr. M'Connell thought he bad better act them to work : he was not the sort of man to ardowa and rapine a; Oki film of thrtanel in this world : and when mice the machinery began' to work to hie pest; heesessiTe wlltbufr Mows, and was contest to empitry all he emit praetor in the same way.

Bat ken what I have said about the anal* of spindles In dues milk yes will see that the mill property ekes was vary peat. I tsar, Mr. Editor, that it is moil& some of your resins may have bat an imperils* his of what • mill is, even externally. I remember, eel,a few weeks ago, heating a lady dummies the *helm system in good set Mews, whose' say allies of a mill was that it wu a private Bostils, es she had heard a thousand times; and of the Bastille, of coerce everybody knew the horrors and ini quills:. There was no need to explain those, and so the charmer held her pri vate opinion. I will begin by telling you that a mill is generally bu i lt in the form of an oblong, and in Lancashire will average perhaps 260 or 300 feet in length, to 100 feet in depth. The dock warehouses are more like them then anything else you have in London perhaps—yes. I recoiled the view of St. James' Palace from the park is not much unlike that of a tenth rate mill. Is the lower rooms, the first stages of the manufacture ars conducted. The lowest is the card room, a different sort of cards to those with which we relax in the south, though perhaps not much unlike them in the results, for these cards tear and grind the substance of whatever comes in contact with them. In the higher rooms the . spinniog is carried on. These mills are all engaged in fine work, and consequently they have a general appearance of cleanliness; the atmo sphere is tolerably free from the floating particles of dust and fibre, and from oily and other offensive smells, too often encountered in the factorial devoted to the production of coarser numbers. In these mills are employed 1,150 persons. The weekly wages average about 4601. to 4801. ' • average for each man, woman, and child, about O s . 9d. But you are not to suppose that only 1,150 persons would be left without employment and resources if these works were to ba closed. On these parties probably depend three times the number : junior branches of the families; small citizens, as tailors, shoemakers, &u.; and petty shopkeepers, and venders of cheap articles in the streets. The mi`.l is the centre of a circle—of a system; and any interference with its regular action disturbs the relations of a tolerably large community. Yet nothing is so common as the desire of young legislate» to interrupt the natural action of , such laws as Providence has impressed upon the world of society; no absurdi, is too great for some wise head to entertain in respect to the mills and the mill population ; no annoyance too petty to inflict upon the devoted wielders of the new power. Ad an in stance of this small work, I may mention a report which got currency in London not very long since, to the effect that factory labour was injurious to the eye sight, aid that factory hands generally had to wear spectacles. Government was alarmed, and an inquiry wan instituted, when it appeared that in the " *Connell mills " only 25 persons wore spectacles for a few hours io the day out of a body of 1,150, a number less probably than the average of general society. I made particular inquiries among the workmen here-21 I intend to do wherever the opportunity is given to me—as to the working of the recent legisla tion on the factory question. I found the men in variably in favour of the Ten Moues' Bill ; but in most of their minds the thought was evidently lying, that after the present period of depression is over, the wages even at the reduced hours of employment must go up to the old mark. So far as I could gather —very few of the men are content with affairs as they now stand; they hope for a change in their favour by an improvement in trade, and they wish most ardently to preserve their present rate of daily work, with the remuneration they were able to ob tain under the old law. The employers are decidedly against the present act ; but their motives have been so frequently impugned and their interests so often inter fered with, that they acquiesce for the moment in any arrangement which may be made by the colleelve seed= of the c,nelare at Sr. Stephen's in reserved and haughty indifference. The ?ekes's. M'Connell have never turned their attention to cottage building fur their operative.. They heirs no school, on the premise.. They take little or no notice of their work people when out of doors—unless they get so drunk as to spoil the work. They have no reading or writing test ; as that world have a tendency to raise wages by sending part of the young children to school. Children who work in the mill are sent to the Lyceum —a small mechanics' institution, near to the factory —where they are taught reading acd writing at a cost to themselves of threepence each • week. In the mill is pasted up an announcement that in taking perm ns into the works a preference will be given to such as can read and write. but the reading acd writing is not obligatory. The hands stated themselves to be in the enjoyment of good health. The temperature wan high ; but the atmos phere tolerably pure and free from smell. The work people here have • strong objection to the relay system, now declared to be legal. Few mills work with relays. Generally speaking, the work men, young and old, are satisfied that 10 hours a day are enough ; the young women are more annoyed at the reduction of wages than the men. They are will ing to slave harder and get more money : perhaps because they all hope to marry and leave tke mill in a short time. Upon the conduct of the boys, the 1 1 change has produced a very good effect. Formerly, as the " overlooker" informed me, they would often say out on • fine afternoon—especially on Mondays ; now they attend regularly to their hours of employ ment, and scamper off to the parks and fields, alter the mill closes, at isalf-paat flee o'clock in the day. H. D. THE WRECK OF TUE ROYAL ADELAIDS..—The company to whom this vessel belonged have now In coarse of preparation a memorial to the Lord, of the Ad miralty and the Board of the Trinity House, praying for an inquiry irta the conduct of the officer is charge of the Tongue lightship on the night the wreck took place. The memorial is grounded on the following state of feats:—Mr. lames Cattier, the receiver of Admiralty droits at Ramsgate sad Margate, did not ran ire any announcement officially epos the subject of the 'rick until about three o'clock on Monday afternoon, Arra 1, the vessel having been wrecked on Saturday previous, at 74 p.m., within • mile of the above named light. The communication then received by Mr.Cuttler was made by Mr. Fruin,the diver, who bad been twice down in the wreck during Sunday night and Monday, and thot communication Mr. Cultist reduced to the form of a regular deposition, to which Mr. Frets was sworn. Mr. Cuttler then wrote to Mr. Charlewood, the superthiending commandant of the coargaard service of that district, re questing to know whither ea, and what signals of die tress had bees seen ty the coastinuda on the Margate station from the wreck on the night of Saturday._ The reply of Mr. Charlewood la to the effect that at the Westgate sta tion only one signal of distrne was seen, and ens gun heard from the Tongue lightship ; and that having sees and heard only one it wee presumed that the vessel ha got off ; the night was dark and hazy, and the wind blowing very hard from B.E. Mr. Chmleweed then gots on to say that ! he had ordered a ratter to attend the wreck, and protect the divers In their °pecan As. Oa Wedfneday, the 3rd that, ! Mr. Cuttler wen: out to the Tongue lightthip, for the per-' pose et aseertaining from the Wither la charge of that Yowl on the night of the wreck what he knew of the circum stances attendieg It, and the sthemeat of that individual, as ' taken down in writing by Mr. Cutler, is in these words: "Oa Saturday evening, the 30th ult., • large steamer, with a Link hull, puled up the bight to the Prinee'a Channel, at &boat 6 p in. At about 74 p.m., Lime evening, saw a steamer ashore on the Tongue Banda, awl maw • flare from her deck, AS if her funnel was gone.

TAX EXHIBITION OF 1861. MEETING OF COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. Yesterday evening a meeting of oomiaercialtravel las at present in Llnum took place at the George lan, Alder 'Danbury, is support of the proposed graud exhibitiea of fists sad sasataketures. Mr. J.1.4711.KER, of the house of Boyd and Co., was unanimously called on to preside. He observed that the meeting, though small in number' held the proxies of per haps hundreds of their fellow - tr aveller, who were unsble from their avocations to be present. In that view, the meet, ing was one of great ins) Ona.oo, and would be so recognised by the commercial body. Knowing the numbers of that body, and their general disposition to take up this move ment, he had no doubt it would be effectively supported.' asz.) He refined to the Commercial Travellers' Orphan as a monument of what that body could accomplish by their voluntary and combined exertions ; and he doubted 110 i they would, on this important occasion, take their proper position amongst the different bodies of society. (Hear.) Mr. D. BLYTH moved, " That this meeting, feeling deeply sensible of the beneficent results which the grand exhibition of 1851 is calculated to produce to all daises of society, and particularly to those who are imtardietely con nected with commerce, by the effect it will have of strength. ening the bonds of friendship between this and other coun tries, by which international commerce mast neeessetily be inereesed, the manufactures of all nazions improved, and the ci-iliration, peace, and happiners of the whole world pro moted, resolves to use its utmost endeavours to assist and further the noble intention of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, by inviting the commercial travellers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland cordially to unite in contributing a liberal sum of money towards defraying the expenses of the said exhibition." Mr. BEDINGFIELD seconded the resolution, and ex pressed his belief that the committee to be formed wool.] be • very e ffi cient one. So large a body as the consuls mild travellers might easily rain a very large sum of money— such a sum as would be decidedly of advautaare to the e xhi bailee. lie did not think, in the pr• tent circumstanc , s of the country, that the government ought to be looked to for any funds in old of the exhibition. The resolution and the following ones were unanimously adopted. Mr. M'INTYILE moved the appolutment of a committee to adopt and carry out sack amours, as they might deem expedient frr raising • fund to be pretested in the name of the commereltd tray, litre of Great Britain and Ireland towards the grand exhibition of all nations of 1851, five members of the committee to ematitute a qanrum. Mr. SPRECKLEY seconded the resolution. Mr. HOLT moved, " That immediate steps be taken to invite and secure the co-operation of the following gentle men as members of the committee." (Then followed • hat of about 50 nom-s.) Mr. WILSON seconded the resolution. Mr. D. Blyth e.t.a Mr. J. B. Walker were appointed treasurers of the fund; and Mr. (horse Lowrance was re quested to act as honorary secretary. It was also resolved that an account should be opened with M ewe . Mssterman and Co., in the name of the treasure rs, to whirls account all monies should be paid. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceeding,. HOM€6oPATllL—Yewttirday, a public &Amer, in aid of the funds to be provided fur the erection of a horna33- pathlo institution, called the Hattniesanna Hospital, took pleas at the London T , Lord 113bert Grosvenor in the chair. After the usual loyal touts, the chairman pro. peed " The memory of the il'ustrioue Hahnemann." This sentiment having been drunk in solemn silence, the emir man next proposed, " Success to the prcposed Hahnemann Hospital sod the medical echool, and tho health of the homeopathic medical profession." Lard Robert Grosvenor hoped that every exertion would b 3 made towards the establishment of the hospital now contemplated • hospital which, in his opinion, was absolut e ly allonym in order to show the full value of the hosacnopathic system of medical treatment. Subscrip tions were announced amounting to about I,sool.—Y.sterday a second hoinco3pattlic dinner took place at the Albin Tavern, Aldersgate-stireet, at which the Earl of &sex pre eided, and was supported by Lord Francis Gordon, Lord Malden, and Lords Alfred and George Pallet, &c.

Mr. Alderman Pnctor moved that the report (which Is in favour of continuum the wicks at lii vington Pike) should be adopted, but stated that :IP 'Awaited from recommending whether it should be carried out or not. Mr. Lasgsdale seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman Mars ha moved, as an emendment, that the report be received and adopted, which Mr. Alderman Cooper seconded. A long discussion ensued; in the coune of which, membees of the council expressed their opinion that the re pot itself supplied conclusive arguments in favour of the cos supply ; but declared themselves desirous to terminate the exciting controversy on this question. The council then proceeded to a division, and the amendment was carried by a majority of 37 to 12. Mr. Piston then moved that the Nil before parliament for relinquishing the Rivington Pike Water Work' be to further proceeded with.

The population of Poplar, El'epney, sad LMehouse, at the last census amounted to 116,000, and le 'maid not be much less at the present time than 130,000. It would be a most disgraceful reflection on so lamp a popu lation U they felled to support a literary and scientific loci tudon in the locality. It was true that the Beaumont In stitution had not succeeded, but there were causes enough in operation to mount for its failure, which he hoped they would bowies enough to amid in hams. Dr. Boweerr, Dr. Bytooaa, Mr. CLAT, and °there, supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously. In consequence of a remark of the Chairman a discussion aro*, as to the principle on which the institution was to be founded, but It was agreed that its doors should be thrown open as widely as possible, and that the annual subscription should be 10s. 6d. A working man suggested that there should be two sub teraptiona, one for mechanics and one for the richer close. Mr. OFFER proposed the next resolution: "That to obtaia the memory funds for the erection of the building r, (erred to in the preceding resolution, 600 share s s h a ll b e tuned at 101. each. He said that he bed been a little our prised at the quotient raised by the chairman. He was of opinion that there should be no exclusion at all—that they should at rt upon a fair and litier al basis. If there were two subsaiptions, one for the middle class and one for the me chanics, he was of opinion that it would not work well, be cause the mechanics would feel that they were not on. level with those who paid the higher amount. (Hear.) I Mr. W. H. COTTON seconded the motion. In answer to Dr. Bawls, The CHAIRMAN said there was no objection to two per sons joinuiiung sn a share. Mr. PALMA* suggested that there ahou'd be 1,000 I shares of U. instead 01 500 shares at 101., which, alter a little discussion, was agreed to. The moieties as amended paused unanimously.

Dret Several males of property , WIDNEIDAT MIIRPTRO: took place yesterday in the Encumbered Estates Court ; and owing to the circumstances attending the last sale, when some estates were knocked down at so lowa price as one year and a half's purchase, the proceedings excited more than usual interest. The first lot put up for sale was a rent charge of 2001. a year for ever on the lands of Ballyeden, belonging to John Vero, in the wealthy and prosperous county of Wexford. Baron Richards explained that under any circumstances the payment of the rent !Charge about to be sold was certain, and that the lands themselves would, at a subsequent period, be sold in that court subject to the said tent charge. In the course o f the bidding it was men tioned that the last reoeiver had paid poor rates, amounting to 71. a year, but the court stated that he had done so to his own damage, and need not have paid the rate. It was therefore utderstocd that the purchaser need not subject himself to that charge, and would not in reality be liable to it. The first bidding was 1,0001., and the offers went on very tediously until the lot was knocked down fir 2,9001. to Mr. Charles Gaussen—that is, at 141 years' per chase. It was stated that so lately as last year, the sum of 3,6001. was offered for the same rent charge. The second estate consisted of two small denomina tions of land Bellycarrane, measuring over 35 sta tute acres; and Cahirbsne, a piece of land about the same dimensions : both in the county of Clare. Two of the bidders for this lot, which was put up in two separate divisions, were tenant-farmers: one, an in telligent-looking young man, named Michael Behan, was dressed in a friens coat, and was the occupying tenant. lie started, to the amusement of the court, with an offer of 201. for the lands of Ballycurrane, but was finally declared the purchaser for both lots, at the respective prices of 1601. and 1601. When asked if be would be ready with his deposit of 501., he said be was prepared with a check on the Bank of Ireland for the amount. (Laughter.) Baron Richards—We are not so sharp altogether as to require your money on the spot ; but if you are in suzlo a hurry as you appear to be, come in the course of the day, and you may ply your deposit, take your deed of transfer, and we shall conclude the tree section at once. The third estate put up was that of the !mdi of Clontiduffy, in the county of Cavan, the property of John Drumgoole Brady. The poor-law valuatioa of the estate by Mr. Griffiths was 1181. a year, but it was let at a rent of 1101. to a tenant, who hell it from year to year, and was subject to a rent charge of 74 Bs. 10d, The area exceeded 200 acres, and it was understood that there was some valuable bog attached to the land, which was not included in the valuation. This property was, after a spirited com petition, knocked down to a Mr. Dyu for 2, 550 L, that is at a rate of more than 23 years' purchase. The next acd last estate sold yesterday was that of Fastry, in the county of Monaghan. It was a fee farm of 74 acres 2 roods, the present rent is 751. odd, subject to a head rent of 12/. Bs. 9d., but it was calcu lated that it would produce a clear and certain profit rent of 621. The occupant w as a tenant who held the land from year to year. This property was purchased by a Mr. Nolan for 8101. or about 13 years purchase. A meeting of the corporation was held yes'erhay, when a committee was nominated to take measures for auditing the arctic expedition of Sir John ROM. It was then resolved that the Lord Mayor should present the memorial of the corporation to the Queen, against the removal of the viceregal court, aed also the petition to the House of Commons for the same purpose. Then ensued one of those scares which had recently reflected so much discredit on the corporation, and which the citizens had flattered themselves were at an end. Mr. Walker brought forward his resolution, declaring that Mr. Reynolds had conticued to hold the office of Lord Mayor illegally since his name was struck off the burgess roll, and that it acs expedient that the council should immedia'ely proceed to elect a fit and proper person to fill the office. Mr. Gus tavus Hamilton then moved that to revive the discus sion about the mayoralty was a violation of the reso lution unanimously adopted on the 12th of February, and that the question llama be left for the adjudi cation of the proper tribunal. The Lord Meyer was proceeding to address the assembly, when Mr. Walker called him to order, and used the expression, " How dare you, sir, state that what I have written is untrue ?" The Lord Mayor called cn Mr. Walker to retract that expression, and resume Ws seat, both of which things the latter per severed in refusing to do, and considerable confusion was the consequence, the greater number of the mem bers exclaiming loudly against the irregularity of which Mr. Welker was guilty. Mr. Walker called one of the members, Mr. Dunne, " a fellow," but after some difficulty was induced to apologiee for that disorderly expression. 'the Lord hlsynr then read the opinion alined from the English Solicitor-Geeeral on the question of the Dublin mayoralty, and which was to the effect that Mr. Reynolds could only be remevid from la's office of Lord Mayor, under all the circumstances of the case, by means of a quo trarranto : that he did not consider he would be liable to more than one penalty for his official acts, and that he might legally appoint a locum lemma whcee acts would be valid, and who would not he pereinally liable to any penalty. An opinion of Serjeant Greene, the late Atorney•General fur Ireland, was also read, and according to it, a man damus would be re - gaited to enable the corporation to take any step prudently for the removal of Mr. Reynolds from Hs office. Mr. Walker intimated that if he bad been aware of the existence of (Ice) docu ment., he wool,' not have persevered with his melee. A division, however, was taken on Mr. Hamilton's motion, and the numbers were, 24 for the resolution, and early 4 against it. An icspector of police, who was call , d up to the chair by the Lord Meyer during this dieturbonee, remained near him, and it was expected every moment. that a serious row would have taken place. There were also several police constables in the room, and waiting below stairs to obey any orders they might receive. A meeting of persons interested in the sale and manufacture of Irish spirits was held yesterday at the Rotunda fur the purp,:se of petitionir g the le , gis- Ware for the removal of the vexatious regulations of the &aro of esciso, whereby payment is exacted on portions of spirits utterly lost by evaporation and natural waste, from which charge foreign and colo nial spirits are entirely free. The meeting, which was numerously and respectably attended, was pre sided over by Mr. I'. O'Brien, in the absence of the Lord Mayor, and the resolutions, which complained strongly of the injustice duce t e Irish merchants by the bonding regulations on spirits, were unanimously adopted. On Saturday evening, Mr. and Lady Anne Tufnell, after a trip to Limerick and Coik, by the Great Southern and Western Railway, returned to the Vice regal Lodge, and joined their Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon at dit.ner ; and yesterday, having taken leave of their noble host and hostess, the hon. gentleman and his lady pro ceeded on their return to London. The dinner eiven on Monday evening, by the citi zens of Cork, to Sir Robert Kane, the President of the Queen's College, was attended by shout 120 gentle men; the Mayor presiding, and being eup,rorted by Mr. Serjeant Stock, the going judge of Assize, the Mayor of Limerick, Colonel Chesney, Colonel Putt loci, T.
