Mr. Commissioner Murphy has published a fare-
well address to the electors of the city of Cork. He
says :

It is impossible for me to forget that to your generous
confidence I am indebted for having been placed in the
position which enabled me successfully to prefer a claim to
the out .c I n•iw hold. lam d►liithted to believe that, in
sepiratinu from you, I am placing in your hands the power
of committing the trust I held to the care and guardianship
of an old and tried representative. %%idle Cotk is pre•
pared to adopt a gentleman with the personal and hereditary

Saturday last was one of the best of lb e half-a-
crown days at the Great Exhibition. The number
of visitors was 6,104, and comprised a very brilliant
assemblage of rank and fashion.
The weather, which has now become exceedingly
bright and chet•ring, is equally favonrable to the
crowds of tourists who arc datly arriving here, and
to the prospects of the husbandmen. The great ma-
jority of our harvest reports continue in the most
encouraging tone, and each day that we now ad-
vance without the manifestation of the potato blight
adds materially to the security which people feel un
the subject.
The following is from the week's commercial re-
view in the Freeman :

It miy readily be supposed that the uneasy feeling which
has no long hung over us has not been dispelled by the war-
like a.pe,t of affairs this week, and stock end shares have
both suit red (rum the increasing distrust. The produce
markets have been less affected, and even in some articles
a slight improves's. nt has occurred. There is no overrock
of stay of the leading imports, and a wholesome and steady
consumption goes on. Credit continues on a most satis-
factory ba-is, and money is sutSeiently plentiful fur all
comm,rcial purposes. The weather has been uniformly
line, but not bright, throuith the week, and the prospects
for the harvest arc most promising. We have got thus far
in the year without the least enmplaiats worth noticing of
the potato crop. The corn market is pretty steady, but
there is not mods basin.. doing.
