THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. (From the Chronicle.) CoRK, FRIDAY , AUG. 3.—The Queen has repeated her Edinburgh achievement—has anticipated her ap pointed time, and if she has not caught anybody nap • ping, has at all events taken everybody by surprise. 1 stated in my yesterday's communication that the Mayor of Cork had recei v ed an official intimation ap pointing the time of her Majesty's arrival at Cove for this evening, and her entry into the city for to-morrow afternoon. Of course all arrangements were made accordingly. A little fleet of steamers was advertised to leave Passage at noon to-day, to proceed some forty miles to sea, to meet the royal squadron, and to return with it to Cove. In the city, of course, the impression was universal that her Majesty would not arrive until Saturday ; and under this feeling flag-staffs were all the morning being leisurely erected, and triumphal arches lazily clad with their wreathing evergreens. It was not until a reasonable hour to day that the whisper began to run through Cork, that the royal arrival had actually taken place—that the Queen was in Cove. At first the idea was scouted • people pointed to the printed programme, and said it was impossible that her Majesty could be in the waters of Cove before Friday afternoon. Mr. Rigby, in " Coningsby," proved that the intelligence of Lord Althorp's death must be false by the most undoubted circumstantial evidence. Cork, at break fast time this morning, was a city of Mr. Rigbys. Wherever you went you found people ready to de monstrate, on the authority of the most authentic charts, and the most exact calculation of nautical miles, that it was utterly impossible that the run from the Isle of Wight could be made under a certain number of hours ; and then a triumphant reference to the dial of Shandon steeple proved that that number of hours had not yet been completed. But, despite these excellent reasoners, the fact was, that her Majesty had really and actually arrived at dove. She came nearly twenty hours before the pre-arranged time; but she did come, for all that; and this was the manner of her approach to the shores of Ireland. means will permit them, and the flags of many a land wave from the peaks of many a stout ship. There swells out upon the breeze the broad coloured tri colour of France—next it waves the spread eagle, the blazon of Austria. The Yankee stars and stripes shine from the peak of more than one stately mer chantman, and the seaman of the House Towns displays his insignia of longitudinal red stripe upon a fair white ground. And then, considerably ahead, forming a species of line-of-battle, stretching away from the northern extremity of the Great Isle, towards the mouth of the harbour, lie the roy a l squadron, in the order in which they brought up the night before, extending ahead and astern of the giant hulk of the Ganges. Further out, we observed the vast hull and the dumpy funnel of La Hogue, "block ship," I believe that is the term --it is a new one in naval architecture. A couple of cable lengths astern of her swings the Victoria and Albert—the Fairy is stationed upon the starboard bow of the royal yacht, the Banshee upon her star board quarter, and the Fire Queen and the Shearwater astern. bitants—emerged from the midst of a gay group of naval officers, and having been conducted on b oar d, delivered to her Majesty the following address : of welcome. Everywhere hats were flung up and handkerchiefs waved from pavements, pavilions, roofs, and balconies. Everywhere the people were orderly yet cordial—respectful but enthusiastic. The best view of the proce , sion which I had I obtained in Patrick-street. This is a noble thoroughfare ; the houses high, handsome, light, and cheerful, and the proportions of the street altogether upon a metropo litan rather than a provincial scale. The way was lined by th e 26th an d 41 s t reg i men t s; an d behind their bayonets, upon the p avemen t, on either side, swarmed a dense mass of ea ge r p eo ple. Every win dow, of course, had its occupants; every ledge and balcony was crowded. Ragged gossoons clambered up lamp-posts; clusters of men and women were grouped upon cars drawn up in every lane which de - bouched upon th e ma i n t h oroug hf are. I t was a scene of interesting and cordial expectation. Pre sently there arose that indiscribable hum which runs down the line o f a vast multitude when a great object of interest is at hand. The sound grew, and waxed louder and deeper. Then came the clash of steel, as the military presented arms, and in a mo ment, amid a deep-toned peal of acclamation—with every hat tossed up and every kerchief shaken— the centre of a crushing, surging, cheering mob— the royal cortege passed slowly and steadily along, the Queen and the Prince continually bowing in ac knowledgment of the acclamations which rose around them.

"TO HER HOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " May it please your Majesty—We, the inhabitants of Cove and the Great Island, respectfully beg permission to approach your Royal person to express the feelings of devoted and affectionate loyalty which we entertain towards your Majesty. " We feel highly gratified that your Majesty has been graciously pleased to honour us with a visit, and we hail your Majesty's arrival amongst us, under existing cir cumstances, as a most auspicious event and a happy omen of better days for Ireland. " We beg to express our deep sense of the benevolent interest which your Majesty has been very graciously pleased to take in our welfare and of your Majesty's earnest desire to elevate the condition and promote the prosperity of your faithful people of Ireland; and we therefore venture to indulge the hope that your Majesty's visit may be the means of accelerating those local im provements already determined upon by the Govern ment, and which would at this particular crisis give em ployment to so many of our suffering artisans and labourers, and render this important harbour so much more couvenient and valuable for your Majesty's service. " With a view to commemorate appropriately and en duringly the happy event of your Majesty's visit, we beg respectfully that your Majesty may be generously pleased to change the name of Cove to Queenstown. " In conclusion, we desire to give your Majesty and Royal Consort a sincere, cordial, and truly Irish welcome, and trust that such impressions may be made on your Majesty's mind, on the occasion of your first visit to our shores, as to encourage the hope that we may be fre quently honoured with your Royal presence amongst us. The ceremony of the presentation hardly occupied three minutes. The Queen bowed graciously, handed the address to Sir George Grey, who stood beside her, and the deputation withdrew. A momen tary pause ensued, and then, as if by magic, every flag on board the fairy was lowered upon deck—the Queen had gone ashore, had stepped for the first time on Irish ground. ,TELL GWYNNE TAVERN and CHOP -1 HOUSE, Bull Inn-court, Strand, for Luncheons, Dinners, and Suppers, Three Doors East of the Adelphi Theatre, and opposite Adam-street.

The average returns for the last ten Years is 62,1661. iGs. 7d. The Premises are large and very convenient, the Proprietor hav ing expended upwards of a thousand pounds in alterations and ex tensions since 1837. The situation is, without exception, the best for the Woollen Trade in the town, and to an enterprising party, having a knowledge of the business, and possessing a molerate capital, it offers a safe invest ment, and the prospect of realizing a rapid fortune. The Stock, amounting to about 3,0001., would have to be taken at cost and stock-taking price; or, if to be valued by strangers, 6001. will be expected as good will. For further particulars, and to treat for same, apply to Messrs. IV. and T. Morris, Liverpool. Messrs.

The worthy Mayor of Cork had been on board the royal yacht by ten o'clock, and had very respectfully urged the ~ pro priety of putting off the visit to the " beautiful city until to-morrow, explaining that the decorations were not yet by any means completed, and that an altera tion in the programme would be productive of much disappointment and confusion. The reply was, how ever, that the arrangement had been made that the Queen should visit Cork in the of the after noon, return in time for (Enna o n board the royal yacht, and start for Dublin early to-morrow--that is, Saturday morning. I may mention here that, in compliance with the petition of the Cove deputation of the night before, her Majesty has changed the ancient and historical name of Cove for the more modern-sounding title of Queenstown, and that, to the gentlemen who waited upon her this morning, she expressed her high admiration of the maritime capabilities and the beautiful scenery of the Cove of Cork. 9.-- Con' .r 150 N.B.

This was accord ingly done, and about five o'clock, in the midst of the thunder of cannon and the cheering of crowded thousands, the Fairy bore the Queen away from the good city of Cork, the first Irish town which she has visited, road therefore the first to receive her with a cordial Irish welcome. It i 3 understood that the royal squadron will sail for Dublin late to-night or early to-morrow morning. PATRICK, LOWTII, ARNALD, WHITBY, AND LOWMAN.

A new Edition, imperial octavo, with the Text printed at large, in four volumes. Then it was that there occurred one of those curi ous coincidences of which history is full, and which, accidental and insignificant as it was, I cannot pass over in absolute silence. I have said that the day was, if not gloomy, at least not bright. The sun was shaded if not obscured; but no sooner had Queen Victoria trod upon Irish ground, than at once, and as if by a pyrotechnic effect, out there flamed, upon sea and land, a universal burst of golden sun light— bathing coast and creek and bay in one flood of glittering radiance ! In five minutes after this her Majesty was again on board, and the Fairy was speeding up the river to Cork, followed closely by the Banshee and Fire Queen, and at a more respectful distance by the slower Government craft, and by some half dozen private steamers, of all sizes, river and sea going boats.

Oats remain quiet. Whiskey is without change, and in moderate request, at 24c. for bbls. ADVANTAGES OP THIS EDITION. In all the previous editions of this valuable Commentary, the Annotations were printed without the Text, thus rendering it a mere book of reference for the study. Io this edition the Text is placed at the head of each page, as in other Commentaries on the Holy Scriptures, thus adapting it to general use both in the family and closet. To those who may be unacquainted with the excellencies of this Commentary and Paraphrase, it may be ne cessary to state that Bishop Patrick, whose Commentary includes from Genesis to the Son.; of Solomon, is esteemed among theological writers one of the most acute and sensible, and therefore useful, illus trators of the Old Testament. "In his exposition," says Dr. Wot-' ton, in his " Thoughts concerning the Study of Divinity," " there is great learning, and great variety, and what will save the reading of many volumes." Dr. Lowth, the father of the well known Bishop of London, completed the Old Testament, and is considered one of the most jndicious commentators on the Prophets. Few men were more deeply versed in critical learning, there being scarcely any au thor, Greek or Latin, profane or ecclesiastical, that Dr. Lowth had not read, constantly accompanying his reading with critical nd philosophical remarks ; he adheres strictly to the literal meaning of the inspired writer, and there is not a great appearance of criticism, but the original text and all critical aid., are closely studied by this most learned divine. Bishop Watson pronounced Lowth's to be the best "Commentary on the Prophets" in the English language. Arnald on the Apocrypha : KINGSTOWN, SUNDAY NooN. There is no appearance of her Majesty here as yet. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO GLASGOW. Yesterday (Thursday) there was a meeting of the Lord Provost and magistrates regarding her Majesty's visit to this city, when his Lordship read the follow ing letter which he had received from Sir G. Grey : " Whitehall, 31st July, 1849. " My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord- ship, with reference to your letter of the 25th instant, and to the questions left with me by the Glasgow City Chamberlain, that it is not possible, as yet, to fix the precise time when her Majesty will visit Glasgow, as the weather may occasion delay in the arrangements at pre sent contemplated; but her Majesty may be expected to reach Scotland in the course of the week after next. BUFFALO, JULY 19, P.M.—The receipts of produce since yesterday were 1,000 bbls of flour, 43,000 bushels of wheat, and 29,000 bushels of corn. There is a better inquiry fur western flour, and holders are asking 4 dulls. 62ic. for Ohio brands. The market for wheat is steady and firm, with sales of 2,000 bushels of Wabash, at 95c. Corn is held higher, which restricts operations; about 13,000 bushels flat yellow changed hands at 46c., which is an improvemeut. Ohio whiskey is quoted at 22c. to 22ic. In freights, there is no change to notice. ALBANY, JULY 19, P.M.—The receipts of produce, since yesterday, were 3.000 barrels of flour,. 10,000 bushels of corn; of wheat none. The operations in flour are smaller than yesterday, and do not reach 1,000 bar rels, at previous quotations. The market for the better descriptions of c , rn continues firm, esp. cially for row-d yellow. About 5,000 bushels changed hands at 58e. for round yellow, and 54i-c. for mixed western. The quo tations in oats are 6,000 bushels at 33c. to 33Lc.

THE POET AND TILE RUIN. Along the Medway's beauteous brink, A poet strolled to gaze and think ; When lo ! an old romantic tower Arrested him with mogic power. The poet stood to gaze awile Upon the antiquated pile ; And while his raptured vision falls Around the venerable walls, He feels the Muses' secret power, And thus addressed the ruined tower : " Hall, fabric of the bygone days, On thy rich scene . I love to gaze ; Like some fair picture dost thou seem, Near Medway's undulating stream. Those old, grey mouldering stones of thine Inspire a fancy warm as mine , And thus I've owned the secret power, Thou venerable ruined tower." " Thanks," said the pile—for stones are able To talk away, like bricks, in fable— " Thanks, worthy poet ! many thanks, For musing thus on Medway's banks; But really I'm surprised that you, Who sing of Moses as you do— Yes, I'm surprised, I must confess, You did not touch upon my dress. This ivy mantle, which you scan, Acts as does Moses' dress on man. Had you not been to Moses' Mart For garments so extremely smart, You'd look, from what I see of you, Not quite so handsome as you do. And this, applied to me, fond youth, Is nothing but the ' naked truth.' " The Bard had not a word to say, But feeling guilty, sneaked away. LIST OF rititne.m.

The sharpest Jeremy Diddler would not be ashamed of the trick hit upon by these Parisian gamins. About ten o'clock i n th e morn i ng, and a tolerably chilly morning it was, the pas sers a l ong the Quai aux Marche au Fleurs noticed a young man, with a very melancholy and suici dal look, standing near one of the bridges, alone. Sud denly he cast his eyes upward s , as if to ta k e a l ast v i ew of the skies, muttered, apparently, as if in prayer, for a moment, and then plunged headlong into the river. While all stood paralysed a t t hi s rash attempt, a young man came up, and, with great simplicity, inquired what was the matter. The individual who was floundering in the turbid current of the Seine, and who had just risen to the surface, was pointed out to him, when, at once, stripping off his blouse, and ejaculating that he would save the unfortunate, or perish in the attempt, he plunged in after him. The bystanders watched w i t h breath less anxiety as the heroic youth dived, cam e up to the sur face, and again went under, in his endeavours to save the wretch who had attempted his own destruction ; a n d, finally, when nearly all hope was lost, the crowd were rejoiced to see the suicide brought to shore with life still in him. Close by was a house or station where half-- drowned parsons are restored, and those who rescue them receive the municipal reward of twenty-five francs. by andthe crowd, the 'Thithert h el latter overwhelmed anci theresac,ui with the were borne r admiration praise whi c h hi s ga ll antr y ca ll e d forth on all side s; but, fortunately, just as the reward was about to be given him, and w hil e a su b scr i pt i on f or an additional sum was being raised, a policeman stepped up, who knew them both. Th ey were brothers, were two of the best swim mers in Paris, and made it a business to go about saving each others lives for a living. DARING ROBBERY BY THE SWELL MOB --On Friday morning, as Lord John Scott was standing upon the race-course at Goodwood, a member of the London swell- mob advanced in front of his Lordship, acid coolly snatched his gold watch and chain, with which he was makiug off, when a party of soldiers on the ground came to Lord John's assistance, and the fellow wes secured. Instantly a gang of about thirty rushed upon them, Lord John and the soldiers were beat off, the fellow rescued, and the party got cle ar away, carrying with them his Lordship's property. There is a medium between a foolish security and an unreasonable distrust. —Eliza Cook's Journal. Yestereven—a fair and still one—gradually deepened into night, and the good folks of Cove pre pared to betake themselves to their virtuous beds. No one dreamt that the Queen was within one hun dred miles of them. The harbour watch was set on board the vessels in the bay, and the scattered lights from the ridge-like terraces of the little town began to twinkle across the sleeping waters of the Cove. It was about half after nine that the group of boatmen, who, as usual in all seaport towns, were loitering upon the beach, saw a bright red speck of light ap pear over the high bluff land to the north of the harbour. It might be a mere accidental fire—the light of a gipsy encampment, or the flare of blazing brushwood—but it grew broader and brighter, it waved and flickered in the fitful night breeze, and at length the gazers exclaimed, " that it was a bonfire, a signal light, kindled upon one of the towers of Trabolgan, the residence of Mr. Burke, M.P., awl that the Royal squadron must be in the offing !" Then, indeed, there was a season of bustle an 3 awaking in the town of Cove. Boats put off without passen gers, in the impulse of the moment, and presently the Royal Alice steamer, a small coasting craft, which had just returned from her daily voyage, and was blowing off her steam alongside the wharf, rung her bell lustily, and steamed out again into the offing. Meantime, all on shore was doubt and confusion. But lights which had been extinguished gleamed again from the casements, and presently the illumi nation lamps which had been only partially put up, began to twinkle forth with their loyal mottoes, expressed in brilliant and variegated hues. All this time the broad red star glared brightly from the turrets of Trabolgan. Then a rocket shot up into the night air from Fort Carlisle, and the signal was immediately re p ea t e d f rom F or t C am d en. This was the first official information given of the approach of the squadron, and the sticks of the worn out meteors had hardly descended into the sea, when blue light s su dd en l y fl are d f orth i n the har bour, flinging their lurid glow far and wide across the still water, and li g hti ng up th e state l y h u ll s and symmetrical spars of the two vessels which displayed them—the Ganges, 84, and th e C roco dil e f r i gate. These lights were still b u r n i ng , w h en a di stant moving spark announced the approach of the first vessel of the royal squa d ron . Th e l antern i n ques tion was borne by the Victoria and Albert, and pre sently afterwards the night signals of the other steamers streamed successively forth as the squadron made its way between the high bluffs which shelter the Cove of Cork from the roll of the Atlantic. Presently it was evident that the royal yacht had steered for the Ganges, and the listeners on shore could hear the splash of her anchor and the rumble of the chain cable as she brought up ahead of the line-of battle ship. The magistracy of Cork, who had by this time been roused, forthwith tumbled into a boat, and started, as fast as rowers could impel them for the royal yacht, with the intention of asking instructions as to her Majesty's pleasure for the proceedings of the morrow. The deputation was received by Sir George Grey, who appointed ten o'clock to-day for making the final arrangements. Her Majesty was then asleep. The deputation were informed by the Home Secretary that the voyage had been a most favourable one, and that thirty hours had scarcely elapsed since the departure of the squadron from Osborne-house. I may mention that Rear- Admiral Dixon had also gone on board the royal yacht. So much for Cove. Let me now revert for a few moments to the proceedings in Cork. About three o'clock, 'A.M., a Queen's messenger was thun dering at the door of the Imperial Hotel, where the o l f ue C ss ork o , f his son, d Lo w rd ere Ki s l t w ay or in tb g ,. and Th t i h s Earl of B an d on , th e L ord-lieutenant of the county ecoMuraierr bore to Cork the first authentic news of the unexpected arrival at C ove , an d very soon after the receipt of his intelligence the illustrious personages whom I have named were on their way to the har bour. But intelligence does not spread fast at an hour when people in general are enjoying the sweetest bit of their night's rest, and when, after an early breakfast, I went abroad into the streets, not one person in a thousand had an inkling into the real state of matters. The morning was advanced before the Mayor started from his residence to proceed to Cove. Meantime the preparations for her Majesty's recep tion were going leisurely on. The workmen ham• mered and sawed away at the triumphal arches, and slowly swayed up the wreaths of evergreens, and the folds of bunting which were to adorn them. The shops were opened as usual, the ladies and gentlemen who intended to proceed to sea in the Minerva, the Viceroy, the Preussicher Adler, and the Nimrod steamers, all of which had been advertised to start to meet the royal squadron a considerable way from the coast—all these deluded ladies and gentlemen, I say, gobbled down their break fasts with superhuman speed, and hurried away down to Passage, in the full assurance of a glorious day's cruise before them. Alas I they ar rived there only to find that the object of the excur sion was suddenly rendered null and void. Why should anybody go to meet the Queen, when the Queen had already arrived ? The reasoning was undeniable, and if the steamers were not stuck in the mud, the excursionists were. And so—in doubt and perplexity at Cove—and in utter ignorance of the real state of matters at Cork— the day wore on. The sun was not high when I started seaward, on board a river steamer. The morning was grey and cloudy—the breeze light and flickering—and altogether the weather had an uncer tain look. At Passage lay the ill fated steam squa dron which was to meet the royal fleet. The tide was flowing rapidly, and they were getting up their steam, and shortly after we passed they one by one heaved their anchors out of the mud, and stood away round the Great Isle down to Cove. The vast sea basin—as each steamer successively whirled from Monkstown round the corner of Great Island—presented a really stirring and beautiful sight. I have already endeavoured to familiarise your readers with the general disposition of its land and its water. Let them, then, in fancy, place themselves on board the steamer, from the paddle box of which I caught my first glimpse this morn ing of Cove. To the right they would see Haulbow line and ;Rorke stern unaltered, and impassable, as behov e d th ere Government stations to be, only the royal standard floated above their rocks and fortified places, instead of the usual plain George's ensign. To the left they would observe the bustling town of Cove, a great deal more bustling than ever—flags by dozens floating over the roofs and chimneys wreaths and garlands stretched from wharf to wharf —dusky crowds thronging terrace and beach—flotillas of boats surging against the shingle of the long-extending line of coast. Then our ima ginary spectators will glance right ahead—will mark the vast miscellaneous fleet of boats, yachts, merchant men, and war steamers, which stretch away right down to Cove—all of them bright and fluttering with gaily stretching lines of bunting. There are some half-dozen men-of-war steamers. Observe their raking masts, and the white hammocks, lying like so many pillows along the dusky line of gunwale. Bunting of every shape and hue is fluttering from truck to deck. The honest merchant ships are making as much display as their less showy I have slightly indicated the position of the royal squadron, and the order in which they lay. Let me repeat that the line of steamers extended, in a gentle crescent, ahead of the tier of merchant vessels, from the northern end of the town of Cove towards the harbour mouth. Immediately on my arrival off the Columbine Wharf I got into a well-manned whale boat, and pulled for the royal yacht. She was sur rounded with an extraordinary fleet of sailing and rowing boats; you might have stepped from gunwale to gunwale for a hundred yards on either side of the steamer. Of course every craft in the fleet was loaded with passengers, almost to the water's edge, and a more eager, a more loyal, and a more enthusiastic assembly never floated upon salt water. Neither the Queen nor the Prince were on deck when I rowe d round the yacht; but it was evident, from the prepa rations being made, that her Majesty would shortly leave the vessel. The Fairy, the Banshee, and the Fire Queen, had their steam up ; and the bright blue painted boats of the Victoria and Albert floated alongside, ready to be put into requisition. All this time a constellation of eyes was bent upon the deck of the royal yacht. Every lady who emerged from the companion was an object of the most eager interest, and there existed a curious but very popular error, which caused it to be con sidered that anybody who walked the quarter-deck of the yacht with a cocked-hat was Prince Albert. When at length her Majesty and the Prince did actually make their appearance they were saluted with a roaring burst of acclamation, and the flotilla of attendant boats in a moment appeared to become one mass of waving hats and handkerchiefs. I never heard more heartily expressed enthusiasm, and the mere cheering was varied by the loudly shouted Irish blessings and words of welcome, which were uttered with as much force of lungs as thorough heartiness of feeling. In the middle of this ebullition I pulled shore wards. The beach was a moving mass of people. Vast throngs, made up of boatmen, peasantry in their Sunday dresses, and citizens of Cork in all the smartness of provincial dandyism, jostled each other along the shi ng ly b eac h. From roof to roof and chimney to chimney of the ledges of whitewashed houses hung wreaths and garlands, loyal mottoes, crowns and harps ; ensigns of all hues and shapes fluttered gaily in the air, and every now and then a tiny battery, established in some private wharf, pealed forth its rattling note of welcome. Here let me pau s e f o r one moment for a character istic anecdote. At one little artillery station I ob served a gentleman, dressed in a species of uniform, exceedingly busy, loading, priming, and firing his tiny cannons. His apparent enthusiasm excited my attention. " What button is that," I inquired of a locally informed friend, referring to a rather con spicuous set, apparently of uniform buttons, worn by the amateur cannoneer in question. " That button," replied my friend; " oh ! that's the repeal button." I think there is a moral in the anecdote, and so I give it. I have spoken of the green-awarded heights which rise above Cove. Rather to the south of the town there swells upwards a partially rocky, partially grassy eminence—very steep and tolerably high— which is called Spy Hill. On its breast and on its brow were arranged a goodly array of spectators, principally, I should think, farmers, and farm labourers, male and female, from the neighbouring country. They were squatted in thickly spotted groups upo.a the grass, blackening with a dusky swarm of human beings the wavy outline of the steep and rocky hill. Having a shrewd notion that not the worst point of view had been selected by these good people, I clambered up the hill and joined them. e m : " n lidad, sir, a n d d o y ez thi n k s h e 'll l an d ? O c h, I can hardly give you an idea of the eager vivacity and outbursti ng l o y a lty o f th e throng among which I found es y ths,ee thrue lf welcome sh e 'll ge t ; an d sure it's then, her right." " They say she's put a bit of green on," alluding to the Queen's dress. "Deed and it was putty of her to do that same. It's for the sayke of the ould counthry, sure." • " 0h,. , more power to her. Faix and it's herself is the clever woman ; and sure if she had her way, there wouldn't be one at all, at all, that would have died of the hunger." Listening with a somewhat curious ear to hundreds of such retaarks, I gazed long upon the beautiful scene around me. The broad waters of Cork har bour lay sh:;.ning beneath me—dotted over, swarming indeed, with. craft of every rig and size, with num berless boats, rowing and sailing between and around the lines of anchored ships—with the white canvass of gently gliding yachts—with the dingy forms of river and tug steamers spurting out white columns of steam, and with the stately hulls and symmetrical rigging of the anchored men-of-war. All at once there came upon the ear the loud boom of a heavy gun pealing across the calm sea. All eyes were turned towards the Cove and to the circling cloud of white smoke which curled up through the rigging of the Ganges. Another heavy and echoing report. La Hogue was joining in the concert. Bang ! Bang ! loud, clear, and ringing, pealed out the neighbouring guns of the Crocodile. As loud and as sharp the shove batteries answered them. Then came a series of dull, heavy thuds far from seaward, and the white smoke rising slowly and solemnly over Spike Island, and th-ifting lazily before the breeze, showed that the heavy guns of Fort Camden and Fort Carlisle were chiming int., the cannonade. Presently the whole view was blotted by driving clouds of white smoke ; but it was nod long before an eye tolerably practised in these matte rs could discern the Fairy shooting ra pidly amid then anchored vessels with the royal stan dard flying at her mainmast-head. The Banshee and the Fire Queen followed in her wake. For some time it was difficult to determine upon the course of the beautiful little craft. Sbe dodged in and out amid the anchored and sailing craft —now sweeping round with he r head one way, anon swinging sharply back on her heel and retracing her course. At length she c.iosed in with the land, coming as it were alongsi le the town of Cove, and running pa rallel to the beach, at about a cable's length from the shingle. Then it was that rose the first great cheer—the vast universail hum swelling at last into a roar of ac clamation. Fast and sharp rung the loud clear re ports of batter:,r after battery ; solemnly and harmo niously upsprtung the swell of the National Anthem from band aflte r band ; but, above both —above all— there floated, - universal and absorbing, into the soft summer's air, ..the gentle but irresistable peal of ear nest voices, e:l ioing from wharf to wharf, and street to street, and 'hill to hill, the shrill trebles of women and children blending with the deep hoarse hurrahs of the men, but the whole mighty tumult seeming to form one extempore hymn of welcome I do not know whether, in describing this grand popular chorr cs , I have done it too warmly ; but I have stated faithfu'ily and exactly the impression which it left upon my self; and I have sought to conjure up the scene and so and to the senses of your readers. The Colin. nt,ine Wharf had been gaily fitted up for the reception ce7 her Majesty; and as the Fairy paused alongside it, .and the guns of an adjacent battery pealed out a r( .yal salute, the Corporation of Cove— or more cor,Te( :tly speaking, a deputation of its inha- The upward voyage was very beautiful. The tide was almost full, and the blaze of the summer sun fell rich upon the shining river and its engirdling wools. From under the green hanks of Monkstown pealed a loud salute of artillery, and the thronging masses who clustered upon the rocky beach added their voices to the roar of the cannon. Passage was hung with gar lands, and gay with flags and mottoes. Here again the people cheered and the cannon roared. Then Lough Mahon spread out before the royal voyagers. Yachts and fishing craft, gay with flags and garland wreathed spars, gemmed it. The guns of Blackrock Castle next tolled forth assurance of an Irish wel come. Then the glorious panorama of the Glanmire bank opened up in all its forest beauty—its peeping villas crowned with flags and characteristic devices —its white river-side terraces and rows of trim cottages crowded with cheering and rushing mobs of spectators. _ . In about three-quarters of an hour after leaving Cove the Fairy was alongside the Custom-house. The Mayor had preceded her Majesty to Cork, and the preparations for her reception were hurried for ward as with railroad speed. The military and con stabulary were speedily called out to line the streets ; a regiment of Lancers did duty in South Mall and along the Grand Parade. TLe 41st and 26th regi ments of the line were disposed in Patrick-street and Great George-street. The Custom-house is an unpretending looking building, ranging along a considerable extent of quay. A ledge of roof slopes outwards from the wall, so as to afford shelter for goods which may be dis posed underneath. Upwards from this roof was stretched a rich web of scarlet and purple cloth, gar • nished above and below with garlands of evergreens, with wreaths of flowers and gilded crowns and harps, and emblazoned with the motto, " Cead mille failthe" —" A hundred thousand welcomes." A proper landing stage had been erected, and rich carpets laid down upon the pier. On either side were stages hung with drapery and 'crowded with ladies. A similar class of pavilions struck the eye upon the north side of the river, and the wharfs, as far as the eye could reach, the rigging of vessels, and the windows and roofs of private dwellings and warehouses, were crammed with spectators. On her landing, her Majesty was met by Mr. Lyons—now Sir James Lyons—the mayor, and the different members of the corporation, by the Marquis of Ihomond, the Earl of Bandon, tho Lord-Lieute nant of the county, and by Lord Dilworth, the High Sheriff of the county of Cork. Here the corporation address was presented. I transcribe it : " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the ancient city of Cork, humbly approach your Majesty to tender to you, on behalf of ourselves and our fellow-citizens at large, the homage of our pro foundest loyalty, and of our deepest affection and attach ment to your Majesty's sacred person and crown. " We gratefully beg to express our deep sense of the high honour and distinction conferred on us by your Ma jesty's graciously condescending to select our city as the place where you and your royal and much loved Consort pay your first vibit to this portion of your kingdom; and we hail with the sincerest feeling of joy and exultation your august presence here, and ardently hope that your Ma jesty would be graciously pleased to cheer and gladden us by frequent visits, and thus diffuse pleasure and happiness amongst us. We sincerely hope that your Majesty's gracious visit will be like those of the Angel of Mercy, with healing on its wings, and that it is the harbinger of bright and better days for our country, which your Majesty must be aware is passing through a fearful ordeal. " We know that your Majesty deeply sympathises in the sufferings and privations which your people have undergone, and are still going through; and we are con vinced that nothing would afford a higher gratification to your royal breast than to mitigate and relieve those sufferings, and to raise the moral and social condition of your Majesty's much and long enduring, but patient and faithful Irish subjects. " We trust that your royal advent here will lay the foundation of a better order of things than has hitherto existed, be the means of fully developing the great and varied natural resources of our beautiful and fertile court try, and that its prosperity, and the consequent comfort, happiness, and contentment of its people will be the glorious and blessed results of your auspicious visit. " That your Majesty may enjoy a long and prosperous reign over a united, happy, and contented people; and that you, your Royal Consort and family, may possess every happiness that this world can aff,rd, is the ardent and sincere prayer of your loyal and attached subjects, the Council and Citizens of Cork. " Done under the Common Seal of the Borough of Cork, this 24th day of July, 1849, in the 13th year of her Majesty's reign." Several other addresses from various public bodies in Cork—from the Cork Royal Yacht Club and the grand jurors of the county, amongst others—were also presented and graciously received. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Lady Jocelyn and another lady in waiting, then ascended an open carriage belonging to the Earl of Bandon, and presently the royal cortege began to move along its destined route through the city of Cork. Let me first describe the general order of the pro cession. It began with successive bodies of mounted police and Lancers. Then came the Mayor, who had already received the honour of knighthood, in an open carriage, attended by two members of the cor poration. Then there followed a group of mounted officers, preceding the royal carriage. Next to it was that which contained the E trl of Bandon and Sir George Grey. Then came here and there groups of Lancers and mounted constabulary, mingling with and escorting a long train of carriages containing most of the notabilities of the city and the county, the tail ending with a succession of joints, formed of simple and unpretending jaunting cars. The reception of the Queen was universally en thusiastic, but was not perhaps so noisy as some of which I have had experience. The truth is, that there was a vast deal of curiosity to satisfy, which contributed to deaden the cheering. People ran along with their hats off, gazing and staring at the un wonted visitor. A species of respectfnl, loyal, affec- • tionate inquisitiveness seemed to be a principal feeling. There was little uproarious cheering, but there was a strong low deep hum of acclamation rising every now and then into a loud jubilant shout , which would run backwards and forwards, be taken reproof fromtosLeoef to street, from window to window, take ro the sunny air. till it pealed out clear and stro n g into I have already traced the .rouatle which the royal the trim and cortege followed. It p assed handsome South Mall , under tri o u n m g phal arches and between two lines of houses the windows and roofs of which were masses of cheering spectators. The same description applies generally to the entire route. Everywhere there were flags, garlands, and mottoes " If the tide should suit, her Majesty would, on quit ting the royal yacht, ga up the river to Glasgow in the morning in the Fairy, on board of which vessel she will receive the addresses to be presented. After which her Majesty would proceed by the route proposed by your Lordship, visiting the University and the Cathedral, and ending at the railway station, where her Majesty would enter the railway carriage and proceed to Perth. But the time will not allow of her Majesty accepting the in vitation to a dijeuner, or inspecting the various manufac tures of Glasgow and its neighbourhood. " The general arrangements proposed by your Lord ship appear to me to be very judicious, and I have no doubt that her Majesty will be much gratified by her reception. " I will write to your Lordship again, when the time of her Majesty's arrival can b 3 more accurately fixed. " I am commanded to desire that your Lordship will convey to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, and the members of the Western Club, her Majesty's thanks for their offer of the club-house. but her Majesty's stay in Glasgow will not be of sufficient length to enable her to avail herself of it.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, (Signed) " G. GREY. " The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Szc." —North British Mail. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 4. The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's steam chip Washington, Captain Floyd, with mails and pas sengers for England and Bremen, from New York, arrived in Cowes Roads at four o'clock this morning. After transhipping the portion destined for England into a small steamer especially provided, the Wash ington continued her voyage to Bremen, and the English passengers and mails were brought to South ampton by the steamer above alluded to. The Wash ington left New York on the afternoon of the 20th, and has therefore brought three days' later news, which, however, is not of material importance. Cholera had diminished considerably in New York, and in the principal cities which had been afflicted with this pestilence. In New York, during the twenty-four hours previous to the sailing of the Washington, the deaths had been thirty-six out of eighty-seven cases. In St. Louis the general health of the city was improving. _ _ The steamer Alabama had arrived at New Orleans, by which dates from Chagres to the 20th of June had been received. Mr. Rossitor, bearer of dispatches from Valparaiso to the United States, was a passenger. At Panama very few emigrants were left, nearly all of them having embarked for San Francisco. The better class of people had also nearly deserted the place, the cholera having made its appearance there, although not in a violent degree. It readily yielded to medical treatment, and but two deaths had occurred the one an American, and the other an Englishman. The names are not given. Immense quantities of gold had been sent from Francisco. No less than a million and a quarter of gold dust had been run into bars, marked, assayed, and forwarded from that place to Panama, for England. The Chili brought 775,000 dollars in specie to Panama, which was reshipped on board the Teviot (now hourly expected at Southampton) at Chagres. In Peru there has been a considerable lull in the disposition of merchants to engage in ventures of merchandise to California, caused by the reported reduction in prices of every description of goods at San Francisco ; but the emigration to California still continued to be considerable, principally by the lower classes. At Valparaiso the tide of emigration to California was also very strong ; created, no doubt, by the continued arrivals of gold from the diggings. The New Orleans paper brought by the Alabama contained news from Jamaica to the end of June; the intelligence was interesting. At the opening of the Legislative Assembly, on the 26th June, the Governor male a speech, in which he advised the Assembly to receive the loan offered by the British Government, and urged the devisal of some measures to restore prosperity to the colony, of which he spoke in desponding terms. The Kingston Journal states that the session would terminate soon, as the majority of the members seemed determined to transact no business. Another meeting respecting the violation of the slave treaties by the Spanish and Brazilian Govern ments had been held, at which resolutions were passed, that petitions to the Home Government, and signed by the people, should be presented, urging the adoption of measures to compel the enforcement of the treaties alluded to. The subject was creating great excitement in the island. It was asserted that the slave-trade had been carried on as extensively as it was during the seven years previous to the passing of the Act for its suppression. advanced.

The market for Western and State flour was somewhat brisk. The receipts of common Western were large, and prices rifled a shade lower than were current yesterday. There was a fair demand for export, and moderate inquiry for home use. For good State and Western holders were firm. There was nothing of moment doing in wheat. Corn was not quite so firm, especially common and lower grades, while there was a fair inquiry for export. Rye was quiet at yesterday's rates. Rye flour was firm, but inactive; while meal was dull, and transactions light. Pork was firm, and in good demand, in part for the West Indies, at steady prices. Beef continued firm, and in good demand for the home trade. - - - - . The Commentary on the New Testament is by Dr. Whitby, who, in the course of his work, exhibits labour and research worthy of the subject. Few men have brought a greater portion of natural sagacity, and a larger measure of appropriate learning, to the inter pretation of Scripture. His knowledge of the Bible itself was thorough and complete, and his acquaintance with the writings of the fathers and of modern interpreters was profound. On a difficult text or expression the reader will seldom consult him in vain. Dr. Adam Clark, in the learned Preface to his Commentary, says—" The best comment on the New Testament, taken in all points of view, is certainly that of Whitby. He has done all that should be done ; he is learned, argumentative, and thoroughly orthodox." Lowman on the ltevelation : Bishop Tomline includes this work in his List of Books for Cler gymen and Biblical Students. Dr. Doddridge has said of it, that he " has received more satisfaction from it, with respect to many diffi culties, than he ever found elsewhere, or expected to find at all." Lowman's scheme of the Seven Seals is also approved by the late Rev. David Simpson, in his Key to the Prophecies, as more con sistent with history than that of Bishop Newton in his Dissertations on the Prophecies. The reader will thus see from the authorities cited in this brief view, that the learned writings of Patrick, Lowth, Arnald, Whitby, and Lowman, form a perfect and invaluable series of Eng lish Commentaries on the Old and New Testaments, and on the books of the Apocrypha, and the reader will have no difficulty in testing their sterling excellence when he examines the large extracts from them which are given, generally without acknowledgement, by some modern commentators whose inferior merits are extravagantly lauded.

The Teviot, Captain Rivett, arrived at Southampten yesterday, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. John Hay, RN., Admiralty agent. The dates received by the Teviot are—Santa Martha, June 21; Chagres, 29; Carthagena, July 1; Jamaica, 8; St. Jago de Cuba, 5; Jacmel, 10; Demerara, 5; Trinidad, 7; Barbadoes, 10; Antigua, 12; Martinique, 11; Grenada, 8; ?ono Rico, 12; St. Thomas, 15; Li Guayra, 7; and Fayal, 29. The freight on board consisted of 1,111,008 dolls. from Chagres, on account of merchants; gold dust, 2,1121.; British coin, 2,231/ ; silver, 3691. 125.; 10 casea of cochineal, 13 cases of indigo, 18 cases of bark, 190 bales sarsaparilla, 68 packages sundries, and 13 cases succadces. There were 61 passengers in the Teviot, among whom were Mr. Christy, her Majesty's agent and consul, Mus quito ; Colonel Johnson, 66th; Captain Lover, pd West India Regiment; Captain Smith, 54th; Lieut. Rath bone; Dr. Stewart, R.N., and family; Lieut. Stephens, R.N.; ex-President Boyer, of Hayti, and family. As will be seen from the above list, Mr. Christy, Bri tish agent and consul in Mosquito, has returned by this packet. From Greytown we learn that the Mosquito country was tranquil, and symptoms of improvement at this newly-named town. Nicaragua is in a very disturbed state, and communication between the above-named places is suspended, the Nicaragua boats being impressed by the Government to quell disturbances. The ex- President Carrera had re-entered Guatalema at the head of an Indian force. That state is at present in anarchy. The Vice-Consul, Mr. Green, had come from Bluefields to take charge of British interests at Greytown, in the absence of the consul and agent, Mr. Christy, who has returned to this country on leave of absence. At Carthagena the cholera was raging with great virulence, as many as thirty persons a day have fallen victims thereto; a quarantine of six days will in conse quence be imposed at Jamaica on all ships from Car thagena. At Jacmel it was communicated that all was quiet, and peace established between the San Dominicans and Haytiens. Another outbreak has occurred at Martinique and Guadeloupe on account of the result of the recent elec tions there. It is said that at least thirty lives have been lost in an affray consequent thereon. A squadron of French ships have been compelled to bring th. it guns to bear on the town at Marie Galante, the blacks hav ing possession thereof. JAMAICA. DISSOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY. - The Morning Journal contains the following summary of the impor tant events which have occurred in this island since the last mail:— The last fortnight has witnessed the meeting and the dissolution of our Assembly. Readers at a dis tance are aware that the sitting of the Legislature in March terminated unsatisfactorily. The Council had refused to give its assent to the Bill passed by the Assembly tor reducing the salaries of public officers, and the latter body had declared its want of confidence in the former. It had further applied to the Crown for a reform of that board. The council bad also petitioned her Majesty, complaining of the conduct of the Assembly, and justifying the course it bad pur sued in reference to the measure in question. H,ving received her Majesty's determination upon the question referred to her by the two branches of the Legislature, the Governor summoned the House to meet on the 26th June for the discharge of business. His speech at the opening of the session will be found in our impression or the 26th. To this speech the House replied very shortly on the 27th. On the following day the Gover nor sent down copies of the dispatches from her Ma jesty's Secretary of State for the Col,nies in reply to the memmial respecting the Council, end his d's patches relative to the conduct of the Assem bly. These sere referred to a special commit tee, which made a report on the 3d inst., and subse quently passed the following resolution:— " That as there seems to be no disposition en the pLr. of her Majesty's Government to afford the reliefs so ur gently prayed for and demanded by the House and the people, es set forth in va t r h i e ou d s is m pam e t m ch o e t o.s ials and petitions; but, on the contrary, every desire has been evinced to continue the present extravagant expenditure, which the impoverished condition of the inhabitants renders it impossible longer to sustain, the House coresiders that it will best consult the rights and interests of the constitu ency by abstaining from any attempt at the further ex have crease of legislative functions, until the people shall h i expre s sed therto p t u h r e s i u r e d d e b c y isio th n e Copies of the report on Governor, the lett( r resolution, having been sent to the O li n 0 the use .

The elections are to commence on the 14th instant with the parish of Metcalfe. It is expected the elections will all terminate in time to enable the new House to meet early in September. Since the last mail left, meetings have been held in this city, in Westmoreland, St. James's, St. Ann, and Sr. David, and petitions agreed to for the enforcement of the slave • tied° treaties, and we have no doubt the remaining pa rishes will follow, if the elections de nut intervene to divert public attention. Now that all hope of restoring may protection is lost, it be expected that the enforce ment of these treaties, and tht. reduction of the duties upon our produce, w ill b e pressed with i ncrease d energy upon the Government. Partial rains have fallen, but dry weather still aftEcts portions of t he island, blasting the pl anter ' s h opes, an d n e , destroyi ,e, his best efforts. In the mtdst of our distresses, however, we enjoy peace and quiet; and notwithstanding
