Cork BRIPPIAG-(TRIS DAY.) THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. A TRIP TO KILLARNEY. The management of the Dublin Exhibition have wisely determined to connect it with the beauties of Irish scenery, and to show how the wonders of the arti ficial world chime in with those of nature. To tourists who during the approaching pleasure season contem plate a visit to the Emerald Isle, this will be an agree able announcement, and the delightful trip which I am about to describe may fairly be regarded as a foretaste of what all will enjoy who come here intent on recreation. On Monday morning a large party of ladies and gentle men, whom the opening of the Exhibition had attracted to Dublin, started by special train on the Southern and Western Railway to see the far-famed lakes of Killarney. Sir EdwArd M‘Donnell (the chairman of the company), Mr. Pennefather (the deputy-chairman), Mr. Miller (the engineer), and the other chief officers of the line accom panied them. Mayors from the chief English cities, commissioners and superintendents of the late Exhibi tion, executive committeemen of the present, foreign contributors, and even members of the French press — a happier party never started to feast their eyes upon. the romance-ground of Kerry. The line over which they travelled is not remarkable for the beauty of the scenery through which it passed, and there were few objects on the way to attract attention. Occa sionally, one of those monumental round towers to which so much antiquarian interest is attached fixes the eye, or some solitary mountain, like Slievenamon, with a veil of mist gracefully suspended over its long-backed summit ; but, otherwise, all is tame and commonplace enough, and even Thurles, where poor Smith O'Brien was arrested by a "tight-buttoned railway official," fails to draw much notice from the pleasure-seekers. The Southern and Western, nevertheless, is a fine line, quite equal in excellence of construction to those in England, and, as was proved on this occasion, capable of bearing trains propelled at the highest speed. Some curious facts with reference to it and the social state of the country were mentioned by the chairman. One was, that hardly a single case had occurred of an employe on the line emigrating, and he attributed this to the cir cumstance that the lowest wages paid were 12s. a-week and clothes. Sir Edward also stated that Mr. Dargan, in constructing the line, drew a very large number of his hands from the workhouses, and that these men, once accustomed to remunerative employment, never returned, but either emigrated or became "navvies." Luncheon at the Limerick junction, and then on to Mallow through a thickly-enclosed country, unwooded, but warmed up by the bright yellow of the gorse-blossom. From Mallow a new line is about to be opened to Killarney. It is expected to be finished by the 15th of June, and will thus be ready for the summer and autumn traffic. The tourists of Monday travelled on it to within nine miles of the lower lake, and this distance they completed by omnibuses supplied for the occasion. You descend on Killarney through a black region of heath-clad moor and bog, preparing the mind, by con trast, for a keener appreciation of the charming scenery beyond it. A. change in the aspect of the peasantry, perceptible for some time, here becomes obvious. Some thing in their look and dress indicates, if the face of the country did not do so, that you have advanced into the wilds of Kerry. Many traces of the past sufferings of this primitive people reach the eye and affect the heart of the stranger. The small proportion of strong middle age to that of boys and girls and old men and women recalls to the memory the realities of an emigration such as the world has rarely seen equalled, while pinched faces and wasted frames bring up again the dismal his tory of the great famine. Looking into each little gar den attached to the cottages on the wayside, young cabbage plants and other vegetables are struggling into life instead of the potato. The whole country seems soaked with superabundant moisture, and the very people have a damp appearance. At night, in the Victoria Hotel, there was high festivity and true Irish hospita lity. To the delight of the French visitors especially, old Gansey, the blind piper of the Lakes, was intro duced, and, with tremulous fingers upon the stops of his chanter, played the sweet melodies of the country. The English mayors could only find vent for their gra tification in the speech-making so dear to all muni cipal minds. Morning broke heavily upon the district of the Lakes, with mist shrouding the mountain tops, and magnifying their height by concealing it. For tunately, however, it did not rain, and though the weather continued somewhat overcast, it became brighter as the day advanced. In white-painted barges, and at as early an hour as they could be got together, our party started to view the scenery of Killarney. Often de scribed, its beauties are always new, and at this season of the year especially, when nature is just assuming her garb of summer loveliness, language fails to do them jus tice. What strikes one most about these lakes is the exquisite combination of objects, which leaves no imagi nation, however cold, unsatisfied, and kindles poetic feelings in the most prosaic minds. Every wish is gra tified by that changing panorama of island, and moun tain and clear rushing stream and grotesquely-formed rock, and ruined castle and mouldering abbey, which are collected here together. The mode adopted for showing the beauties of Killarney to visitors, under circum stances, is the best that could be hit upon, but when, as in the present instance, large numbers go together under hospitable guidance it possesses extraordinary advantages. MacGillycuddy's Reeks and Tomies' Mountain, Torc Mountain, Dinis Green Isle, and Glen-h's wooded shore, all revealed their sweetest charms to the eyes of the tourist, and the notes of the bugle were prolonged by the echo, with the same exqui site effect as when Tom Moore sang of them. Through all the lakes and to the foot of the Eagle's-nest, to Ross Castle, overgrown with grass, and to Innisfallen Island, with its crumbling abbey walls, crowned by waving foliage, past the " Honeycomb-rocks," toe, and the "O'Donoughue's Library," with " the big Bible lying on the top," the strangers in their gay barges swept. They inhaled the fragrance of the spring blossoms, and admired the splendid varieties of a vegetation in which the myrtle and the arbutus grow wild. The lights and shadows that chased each other on the hill side, and the diversified hues of wood and glen, all were noticed and delightedly praised in their turn, and still the light drapery of the misty mountain-tops maintained over the changing prospect a certain character of dream-land. So thorough was their inspection of Killarney that the Devil's Punchbowl, of all its attractions, alone escaped a visit. On the summit of Mangerton mountain this celebrated reservoir lay, brooded over by a dense mass of vapour, within which, while mayors and railway directors, Royal commissioners and executive com mitteemen, were feasting their eyes beneath him, the Prince of Darkness might unseen be quaffing com fort and relief from the ice-cold waters. Killarney does not contain the element of sublimity in its scenic effects, and those whose tastes turn to the grand and majestic attributes of nature must seek them elsewhere ; but for picturesque variety, raised by legendary associations to the verge of enchantment, it is quite unrivalled by any place within the compass of the British Isles. The new railway about to be opened to it, and which has been, it is said, constructed at the low cost of 5,0 001 . a idle, will place it within seven hours' ride of Dublin, and within 17 of London. So charming a retreat from the fatigues of business and the exhaustion of a town life, thus made accessible, is a boon to the community at large. Thousands will now visit what previously was only within reach of the few, and in time nature will win for the surrounding wilds of Kerry a degree of com fort and civilisation which has hitherto been denied then. The Southern and Western Railway Company have made arrangements for conveying the bumbler classes to see the Dublin Exhibition at the cheapest pos sible rate, and there is little doubt that their liberal example will be followed by all the other lines. SHOCKING CASE OF DESTITUTION AND STARVATION AT BURITON, NEAR PETEasPIELD.—During the present month a poor labouring man, named Thomas Surrell, while working at a thrashing machine in the parish of Weston, dropped down in the field, while at work, in a state ("exhaustion. He was sent home by his employer in a cart, and on the fourth day the poor man ex pired, and would have been buried but for the vigilance of Mr. Thomas Fay, superintendent of the police for the Petersfield division, who caused a coroner's inquest to Esq., he a p following res j b u e ry h . eld A b ft y er C a . m ß i . nu L te on ex g a e m ra i f n t, at E io s n q , and verdict was given :—" Died by the visitation of God." But there were reasons to suppose that the deceaied had not had a sufficiency of food to supply nature. Great credit is due to Mr. Fay, who affirms that he never saw such an emaciated and starved body. On a post mortar:, examination not a particle of food was found in the intestines or any part of the stomach. This case occurred within four doors of the rector of the parish, the Rev. J. M. Sumner, M.A., second son of the Bishop of Win chester, who is luxuriating in the parish with 1,6001. a year, besides a prebendaryshiP or two. The poor starved peasant was an example of honesty, sobriety, and in dustry, yet withal he eked out but a miserable existence, and died at the age of 52, without a murmur, having the munificent sum of Bs. per week to support his wife and five children, not one of whom, we hear, was earn ing a single penny. After paying ls. per week for the rent of his cottage, he had just ls. per day to main tain seven individuals. In the Petersfield Union the cosewould have been two shillings and sixpence per day. This distressing case has caused considerable excitement in the neighbourhood, ands strongly condemned by the humane.—(From a Corre i pondent.) STRIKES.—SHIELDS, MAY 18.—The South Shields shipwrights struck this morning, and have been walking about all day. It seems they were content to receive 275. per week, provided the masters allowed them half an hour at 4 o'clock for tea, while employed at new work. They now ask 30s. per week, or the half-hour per day. One master has complied with this request, and it is likely that the other shipbuilders will also con cede the demand. The master joiners have refused to comply with the demand of the men for an advance to 275. per week, and are clearing out their shops as their contracts are completed; 50 161 St. 20 i St. St. 20 10 FOREIGN. 10 3 A utworp&Rotterdam 1 id 5 3 BelgianEastn.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived, but their contents are of no import'ince. The Clamor Publico announces that General Cabrera has sent 2001. from London for the sufferers from famine in the province of Galicia. " Such acts," says the Clamor, " cause us to forget the party man, to think of the proverbial Spanish gene rosity." The Committee of the Royal Council charged to examine the conditions on which rail ways are conceded, was displaying great activity. The Epoca had been seized.—A letter says : ‘‘ Notwithstanding the rumours in circulation, we believe we can affirm that the Government does not intend, at least for the present, to assemble the Cortes." The Three per Cents. were at 45. ITALY. The police at Genoa recently visited the pre mises of a publisher in that city, and seized a work by Mazzini which had just been printed, and had a copy of it deposited, according to law. The Emperor of Austria has ordered several com missions to be formed at Milan to examine into and decide on the claims made by different persons on the property of the Lombardian refugees which have been sequestrated. GERMANY. A letter from Hamburg, of the 13th, says : " The customs treaty concluded between Denmark and Oldenburg, relative t o th e p r i nc i pa lit y o f Entin, has been officially promulgated. The state ment published by some journals that the Austrian Government had stopped the works of demolition of the fortress of Rendsburg is incorrect." The Darmstadt Bank has announced to the Grand Ducal Government that its first series of shares of the nominal value of 10 millions of florins has been issued. The Bank is consequently constituted according to its statutes, and will im mediately commence operations. A letter from Vienna of May 15, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The King of the Belgians con tinues to attend the reviews of troops with the Duke de Brabant. His Majesty also visits the various public establishments. The King of Prussia, as well as Prince Charles and his son, will arrive here on the 19th inst. Amongst the demands of Austria to which the Porte has acceded on the ap plication of Count de Leiningen is that of restoring the jewels and the 2,000 ducats which the famous Bollyak had stolen, and which are to be given back to the heirs of Count Zichly. The jewels and money have been already sent to the Austrian em bassy at Constantinople." An important change has just been made in the general direction of the Austrian consulates, which up to this time have been under the management of the Minister of Commerce at Vienna. For the future the consuls will receive their instructions from the department of Foreign Affairs, and will only correspond with the Minister of Commerce on commercial affairs. TURKEY. Prince Menschikoff has given the Porte eight days to consider its decision on his 'ultimatum. The representatives of England and France, co nsulted on the subject of the Divan, have sent ff couriers to their respective Governments. Advices from Smyrna are of the 11th of May. The town was tranquil. The French squadron was still in the Bay of Athens. It was asserted in Paris yesterday that an elec tric dispatch had been received from Vienna, an nouncing that the Porte had accepted the Russian ultimatton. The German Journal of .Frankfort contains a letter from Constantinople of the 3d, which says :—" It is known that the Government dis covered a fortnight back a conspiracy against the Turks, which had for object to massacre the Greeks and Franks ; the conspirators were for the most part Mollahs. A great number had come up from the provinces for the purpose. Thq centre of the conspiracy was in the theolo gical schools connected with the mosque of Sultan Maliomet. The schools in consequence have been closed, and the pupils sent home to their families. Several Mollahs have been arrested and sent back to the provinces." By a letter from Cairo we learn that Abbas Pacha left that city on the 26th ult., to make an excursion in Lower Egypt, and to attend the fair of Tantall, which is always of great importance, and which in April generally attracts about 150,000 persons. Tantah is noted for containing the beautiful mosque and the tomb of Said le Be douin, a famous Mussulman saint. A letter from Beyrouth states that the celebra tion of the Easter ceremonies at Jerusalem gave rise, as usual, to scandalous conflicts between the Greeks and the Armenians. On one occasion they fought with such fury that the armed force had to be employed to separate them. 103 2i 70 4 24 3 22 1 89 8i 9 Pm 80i i 114 12 1051 118 i 18 i x n In In 30i 30 i 75#5 551 JOINT-STOCK BANKS. 40 all Australasia B 6i —87 i 7 50 all British N.

The arrivals of English wheat during the present week, and fresh up to this morning's market have been seasonably good, and in full average condition ; hence the show of samples of both red and white was moderately extensive. The prevailing fine weather, added to the large imports of foreign grain, had a depressing influence upon the trade, which ruled heavy, at the decline noticed on Monday last. For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing. Upwards of 24,000 quarters of foreign wheat have ar rived. Really fine parcels were held somewhat firmly on former terms. All other kinds were exceedingly inactive, at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes sold on former terms. Scarcely any English barley was on show ; but the supply of foreign was seasonably large. The trade ruled heavy, but no further decline took place in the quotations. • • The malt trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. We were well supplied with oats, in which a moderate business was doing, at late currencies. Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week; but flour was exceedingly depressed. ARRIVALS TIIIB WEEK.

The primed Scots sold at 4s 6d per 81b. Ire were fairly supplied with sheep, in which a good business was transacted, at extreme curren cies—the best old Downs being worth 4s 8d per bibs. Lambs, the supply of which was tolerably good, were steady, and quite as dear as on Monday. The top figure was 6s 4d per 81b. There was a good inquiry for calves, at full quotations.

Oranges and lemons advancing in price, the shipments of the former from St. Michael having finished for the season. A parcel of pineapples at Sierra Leone, brought by the European steamer, and sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale realised prices that will no doubt lead to large im portations. Nuts, iu consequence of the Whitsun holidays, have met with an improved sale. VERY GOOD. - A contemporary, misspelling the word " Kissengen," says, " Lord and Lady Normanby are going to Kissagain." THE FRENCH EMPIRE. There is a very long article in the Siècle on the turning tables, &c., which is now the prevailing topic of the day. This journal does not deny th e reality of the phenomenon, but considers that greater importance is attached to it than is de served. We extract as follows : " We laugh a good deal at the savage tribes who re main indifferent in presence of our manufactures and our civilisation, and who become impassioned for paltry glass things, buttons, and clumsy looking-glasses. Are we not somewhat like those savages when we fall in ecstacy before turning tables and hats ? God forbid that we should give the most timid denial to facts more or less exact which are related to us every day ! We believe that hats turn and tables turn, and that ships themselves turn. But what is that intended to prove ? That the human being possesses an electric or other power, and that that power can give movement to inert matter ? But does that wonderful discovery date from yesterday ? A long time before hats were made to turn, the Abb6 Paramelle struck the soil with his foot, and a spring was found there. The fact is incontestable, and almost undisputed. Let sevens set to work to discover the cause and the consequences ; until then let us endeavour to be calm, and let not the turning tables take all the time, already so restricted, which business leaves to agreeable conversation and private parties. For ourselves, who certainly cannot be accused of being rebellious against novelties, we profoundly respect the phenomenon spoken of, because from this phenomenon a world may arise ; but no one will ever persuade us that to employ their forces, and apply their intelligence, a man and a woman should pass their time seated im movably round a table, to give to it, after a long wait ing, a movement which stops as soon as the hands cease to form a chain We have a magnetic and electric fluid—so much the better, if science can turn it to ac count to prevent or abridge the evils that afflict us. Enthusiasm in that case would be justifiable. If the foetus should one day become a great man, we will ad mire it ; but, for the moment, it is only a !Cetus. Let us fasten it in its glass bottle, and send it to the Aca demy, that it may tell us what we must think of our fluid. We have also a muscular force, and this force, which was at the beginning of society a supreme argument, is at present ranked amongst vulgar spectacles. Why so ? Because we have discovered that the ox, the horse, the ass, the camel, and the buffalo were a thousand times better provided than we in that re spect ; and so, instead of ten of us being employed in dragging a plough, we have found it more simple to confide the task to the animals which God has placed at our disposal. At a late period we found this mus cular force insfficient, and we invented muscles of steel moved by steam. It is the same with respect to the electric fluid. We have a little of it, but the atmosphere which envelopes us is saturated with it. We place our selves round a table, as serious as Quakers, and we shout miracle when, under the influence of our slight electricity, it makes eight, or ten, or fifteen turns a minute, whilst we look with indifference at the loco motive which passes with thousands of travellers at the rate of 15 leagues an hour. We make a hat dance, and the crowd stops, and we fall into ecstacy. A wire, however, leaves the city of London, crosses the sea, touches Paris, and from Paris goes to all the great cen tres of population, not only of France but of Europe ; in an instant, with the rapidity of thought, that wire, for which time and space do not exist, transmits news from London to Berlin, and from Paris to Marseilles ; and we find that simple, whilst the piece of furniture, obeying slowly and painfully the magnetic pressure of our fingers, plunges us into incredible ecstacy and ravish ment. Will your table and your hat carry a despatch from one end of the territory to the other more rapidly than the electric wire ? Do you give us a surer and more rapid agent ? Assuredly no." We find nothing else of sufficient interest for extract in the original columns of the Paris journals of yesterday. The Patrie newspaper contradicts the assertion of the American journals, that certain French ships of war were on their way to the Sandwich Islands, for the purpose of acting against those islands. The same journal also declares that there is no foundation whatever for the rumour which has gone abroad, that the Commander of the French frigate Jeanne d'Arc has purchased a territory on the shores of the Red Sea, and that he intends taking possession of an island situated in that sea. Yesterday the Corps Legislatif resumed the ad journed debate on the Budget of 1854. The credits demanded for the payment of the national debt, and for the dotation of the Legislative powers and the Ministerial offices, were voted by the Assembly. There was considerable activity in the market for Government securities at the Bourse yesterday at the commencement of business, and Wednesday's quotations were well maintained ; as the day ad vanced, however, a change occurred, there being a very decided downward tendency at the close of business. The Three per Cents., for cash declined 25c., and the Four and a Half per Cents., 10c. For the end of the month, the Three per Cents. fell3oc. and. the Four and a Half per Cents., 25c. Bank Shares declined sf. Closing prices :—For cash— Three per Cents., 81f. 10c. ; Four and a Half per Cents., 103 f. 90c.

No transactions took place to-day in the Mortgage Bank Shares, which are still quoted at SSOf. ; those of the Soci6t6 Mobiliere fell 2f., closing at 940 f. 50c. The market for railway securities was also firm at the com mencemext of business, but au unfitvourable change took place, and at termination a decline had occurred in the quotations of most of the more important lines. Paris and Rouen and Orleans shares each declined 10f. ; Paris and Lyons, 6f. ; and Northerns, sf. In Paris and Strasbourgs an advance occurred of 2f. 71 i 13 9 d 1 4 4 4 i 15 141 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES.-(THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ORDER OF RUNNING.

HORSES IN PREPARATION FOR THE DERBY.—Through. out the length and breadth of the land the key-note of active preparation is already sounded for the rapidly approaching grand national carnival on the Downs of Epsom. The Derby is decidedly a most important fes tival with the British public, and not only do both Houses of Parliament suspend business on the Derby day, but many of the public offices, both at the west and in the City, and at the Stock Exchange business is a blank. It is not my intention to-day to enter into full parti culars of the merit of the probable antagonists, but merely, as a preparatory act, to give what I believe to be a complete list of the horses that are in active pre paration for the race on Wednesday next. Taking the Newmarket lots first--Butler has Sitting bourne in first-rate work, and, from appearances, the horse is some five or six pounds better in form than he was on the Two Thousand Guineas day. It is not ex pected that Gossip will start to assist his stable com panion. - Lord Exeter it seems will try his luck with Filbert so/us. He is doing good work, but looks rather stale. Rogers' son of Jericho and Glee, y'clept Jerry Kent, has been tried to the satisfaction of both the Rogers'. Is doing excellent work, and is as fine as a star. Pharold is doing all that he is capable of for Mr. Mare; but he goes through his work off and on, in a most stilty style, and nothing can be hoped from him. Cheddar, after having being stopped in his work for a considerable time, has been doing all that is required of him lately; I am afraid, however, it is now too late, being too backward for his great engagement. Ninnyhammer is another of the same class. He was in Queer-street the greater part of the winter, but lat terly has been picking up the lost ground most surpris ingly. He is a useful-looking animal, but has not grown much since last year. Stone Plover does not seem to have benefited a great deal by the work lie has gone through of late; and Jor dan, though apparently in preparation for the Derby, is not altogether a certain starter. If he runs, it will be merely to assist his stable companion, Jerry Kent. This concludes the Newmarket lot. Orestes, notwithstanding the unfavourable reports in circulation about him, is going on all right. His com panion Spread Eagle, if quite up to the mark, will most probably run to assist Orestes, as he is but a mode rate animal. Scott, it seems, will start the crack, West Australian, Umbriel, Hurworth, and the Mayor of Hull. All, but especially the two first named, are in excellent condition. Pharos has had his final trial, and satisfied his party in every particular. He will come to the post perfection itself, so fax as training is concerned. Brocket has been doing good work lately—as has Barbatus. The rest of the horses in preparation, but whose names require no special mention, are the following :—Rattle, Golden Plover, Peggy, Prince Leopold, Mr. Sykes, Vanderdecken, Orinoco, Contentment, Lowton, Ethel bert, Honcywood, Rataplan, Beverlac. Speed the Plough, and Talfourd. About the two last I have been unable to obtain any genuine information. As not more than half, or two-thirds at the outside, of the "mounts" are decided on at present, I shall here only give a list of the jockeys of the favourites, and defer an entire list of the field until next week : WEST AUSTRALIAN F. Butler. PHAROS Nat. SITTINGBOURNE Pettit. UMBRIEL Templeman. ORESTES Charlton. CINEAS A. Day. HONEYWOOD Osborne. My judgment during the past week has been quite up to the average quality of success ; for I was right at Bath with Gossip, for the Lansdowne ; Massaroni, for the 10 sovs. Stakes ; Mouser, Western Stakes ; and Gossip, for the Durham Stakes. Of the five races on which my advice proved wrong, I ran second thrice ; and in one instance, the horse I selected not being come atable at the moment of starting gave me no chance of victory. At Manchester I hit the mark with Longbow, for the Meiklam Handicap ; with Chief Justice, for the Tradesmen's Cup ; Wild H un t sman, f or the Two-year old Stakes ; and Evadne, for the 5 sovs. Handicap. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. A thin attendance, and business very inactive, our prefatory remarks will therefore be brief. West Australian maintained his position with great firmness ; 8 to 1 was taken to 1001. about Honeywood, and afterwards offered ; and 9 to 1, to upwards of 2001., about Sittingbourne. At the commencement 10 to 1 was taken to 1001. about Cineas, but towards the close 12 to 1 was laid, and repeatedly offered. Pharos, Ninnyhammer, and Jerry Kent were backed at improved prices.

WIDENING OF UPPER THAMES-STREET.—Yesterday, in compliance with the provisions of an act of Parlia ment obtained last session, for widening Upper Tha mes street, and for authorising the appropriation of a portion of the ancient burial-ground of St. Peter for that pur pose, workmen were engaged in levelling several houses between Bennett's Hill and Old Fish-street Hill to the ground • and preparations are being made for removing the dwarf wall and *iron railings of the burial ground above-mentioned nine feet further to the north, by which six feet will be given to the width of the carriage way, and three feet to the foot pavement. It appears from an inscription on a tablet sunk in the east wall, that this graveyard is the site of the parish church of St. Peter, Paul's-wharf, destroyed in the great fire of London, 1666, and converted into a burial-ground in 1671. It is _einTnohorertdhersitdoe intended also to widen and improve that portion of the street in the immediate vicinity of Calvert's brewhouse.
