A grand banquet took piece on Thursday evening at
Cork, to celebrate the opening of the National Exhibithe.
The dinner came off in the grounds attached to the Egli &
Lion Building', within which a spacious pavilion me
elegantly fitted up for the purpose. Seven o'clock was due
hour appointed for assembling, and when at that hour the
guests began to arrive, the whole population of Cork tun's/
out to receive them. Covers were laid tor 600, and at the
appointed hour every seat was occupied by a vest. Shortly
hi fore eight o'clock, his Excellency entered the Banquet.
Ling Hall, attended by a brilliant staff and numerous re-1
tinue, composed of the nobility and principil personages of
distinction who had visited the fair capital of the south cep
this auspicious occasion.
The LORD LISUTSNANT, on returning thanks fur the
toast of his health, thus repressed himself:—lt is true dad
we have sot here thestatues of Italy, the carving of Austskii,
the malachite, of Ramis, the porcelain of &ere., er fin
velvets of Genoa, Out we have what you and I value the
more, the products of our own country. (Loud cheers.)
We have the marbles of Cork, of Kiikenuy, and of Commis
mara. (Hear, hear.) We have our linens, we have err
tabbinet, we have our lace embroidery, we have the results
of the industry of the sons, and the handiwork of the fair
daughters of Erin. (Cheers.) But allow me to ask what is
there that the genius of Ireland cannot accomplish, whether
it be the highest efforts ahem= amoitiun, or the humblest
essay of talent? Hotfoot Irish blood flow in the veins of the
mightiest conqueror of the widest empire which the world
has ever seen ? (Cheers.) Does not the blood of Ireland flow
in the veins of him whore career of glory not one defeat,
not ol.• selfish act, has tarnished ? (Cheers.) Dom not the
capacious mind of Wellesley spring from an Irish stock ?
(•• Hear, hear," sod cheers.) Was it net Irish genius
which shone in the calm and lustrous eye of Canning,
which sparkled in the wit of tsheridan, gave command to
Burke, lent point to the irony of Tierney, and taught
Goldsmith to write of nature—(shm's), which enabled
year own Moore—(renewed ebeers)—to breathe forth words
of beauty, words of fragrance ae sweet as your own harp,
but 'nervous as the arm by which it is struck ? (Loud
cheers.) And to come to your own county, or even to your
own city, was it not the peones of Cort which made Curran
mbar be was ? (Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) I
wadi asi you does modern art own • better or a more
;TMvotary than lilsclise ? (Cheers.) Allow me
pay • parsing tribute of admiration to
fin giamekisa thousands who have contributed so e®-
to the show we have inaugurated this day. d Gentle-
M, is oot by strife and party contention—it is not by
sersous or political iliseension—it is not by outrage and
minder that the regeneration of Ireland is to be accom-
plished. (Cries of • Hear, hear," and cheers) It is be-
mire of all this that misfortunes have come upon her—that
as many of her sous have bad to seek a refuge on other
alairee—that so many of her houses are untenanted—that so
moth of her rich laud is uncultivated. (Cheers.) En-
, dived with everything that ought to make her great and
Logc ous, she has been miserable and poor, because she
n disunited. (Hear, hear). It is by the merging of
glgrafeeling in the one great object, your country's
in by Media; out the hand of friendship to your
hilueriammtsyness—it se by preserving order and tranquil-
ity amen yourselves, that yen will see happy faces—full
bappras, and empty barracks—(cheering)—that you will
so year hours British capital flowing in, and rail-'
wry adorpriss carried through every corner of the eoantry.
Osadrries, it Is not often that the recresentativeof the

sovereign in this coeatry has an opportunity of speaking to
those whom he governs—rarely, if ever, to an aliseniblage
suck as this. But I seise upon it with greet eagerness, be.
cause there is nothing nearer to my heart than to try and
persuade the people of Ireland that I am actuated by die
most earnest desire for their welfare. (" Hear, hear," sad
cheers.) I believe it unhappily happens that many—some,
perhaps, from mistake, but others, I fear, from malice—
would endeavour to persuade you that I am foreign to yea
in tastes, foreign to you in interests- that I am INK
actuated by kindliness towards you. Believe, rather—
bemuse I pledge you my honour thet it is the me,—
that I already feel affection for the warm hearted
among whom I dad myself—(cheer,)—l already loielit
biennial island which uplaoed under my charge, whisk
I look upon as a trust which, bee been committed to me—
net only es Gee for which I must answer to my Sovereign
and my country, bat one foe whose evil or good fulfilment
I same hereafter mower to my Ood. (Resewed abeam)
Believe me that I have aceeped the trust, determined to
act honestly and openly—not to praise this party and atheie
that—net to truckle to the one or to Satter the ether with
f.ir promisee—but to preserve traaquillity, and, while 1
preserve the liberties of the Irish people, to insulates eider
and to nit to my Sovereign. (Cheers.) Hindmost', what-
ever te I spend in this country, be assured, whether it be
lung—as I sincerely trust it may be—or whether it be short,
I can only tell you that I shall carry with no ea Irish
heart, and that I shall hereafter fed myself pledged by
beneur, by feeling, sad by duty, to attend to Irish late-
• (eheers)—asd, ameagia the bright hours that I have
spent is Ireland, I shall ant look with the least pleasure to
those which the kindness of the citizens of Cork has
afforded me. (Loud and

'woad Bower show of this society's seam took plow at
their gardens, Chiswick. The weather was better this
that enjoyed by the Botanical Society on the previous Wed-
nesday, but still mot good enough to WWII OM of those
brilliant monablages of cowpony now looked apes as te-

the who really west to see floe flowers and luscious open-
mess of early fruits the exhibition must hare been most
satialaetcry ; and indeed to this else, the absence of that
crash of fuhionaleles invariably attracted by a brilliant de

ties were thereby afforded for close and nosurste examine-

been prevailed upon, by a requisition presented to him
signed by about 2,600 of tbe electors, to give his consent to
stand as a candidate for the representation of this borough
at the forthcoming general election. lie has issued a very
lengthened address to the constituents, soliciting their suf-
frages, in which he esplititly gives an exposition of his poli-
tical sentiments. He expresses himself in favour of free
trade, extension of the suffrage, fair distribution of the
local and provincial representations, vote by ballot, reduc-
tion in theprewut needier expenditure of public money,
reforms in the courts of law and eccics:aatics, is a firm sup-
porter of the privestant faith, and decidedly opposed to the
Meynooth grant.

upon Mr. Samson Ricardo, of fitness Park, Sunninghill,
with a requisition signed by nearly one-third of the regis-
tered electors, asking that gentleman to offer himself as a

new parliament. Mr. Ricardo received the deputation
most courteously, and minded to their request. There ars
now four candidates for the representation of ths borough:

MINES.

SATURDAT EVENING.

The market for mining stocks continues active,
and prices are still firm. In the present position of
the money market it is almost needless to observe
good dividend stock must necessarily maintain a
' favourable price. The chief transactions to-day have
been in Cuberts, which are looking up. Shares in
Alfred Consuls, Great Wheal Alfred, Tremayne,
Clive, East Darren, and Wheal Brewer are all in
demand at improved prices. The prices at which
sales have been made are reported to us as follows by
the most respectable brokers and dealers, bat due
allowance must be made for the wide margin fre-
quently existing in this variable market as between
buyer and seller :—Cefn Bruno, 49; Alfred Consols,
14; Tincroft, llk ; Carvannal, 9; Clive, 61, ;
Trebarvah, 61 ; Cubert, 225. 6d., 25e., 278. 6d. ;
South Tamar, 61 ; Vale f Towey, 1/, 1.
There was very Livia business in the gold mining
shares, and the market was generally flat, especially
for Aria Friss, which were sold as low as 1 dis.
Golden Mountains were also worse, but Liberty
Mining shares were firm, at a slight improvement in
price. The non-official quotations are as follows :
Melbourne, par toil prem.; Australian Consols,l dis.
to par; Royal Australian Mining and Refining, I
dia. to par; 'Yuba River, 3-16 to 5-16 prem. ; Bn-
tannia, dis. to par. Cube. shares are firm, but
Santiago/ were not quite so good as yesterday.
