Dustin, Aus. 28.

royal visit is the only subject which appears
to oceupy any one's attention here at present ; and
the question which all now ask is, when wilt the
Queen arrive at Kingstown ? It is just hardy pos.
eicle that this event may take place at a late hour
to-morrow (Saturday) evening. Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence having, it is known, intimated that if the
ivvm.e3altehdeiratbtVitaiefthererhNerajestv will sail from 11o1) head
needful there from thiborne.•
As, however, the royal party will not reach Holy-
head earlier than six or seven o'clock in the after-
noon, should they even embark and sail at (MeV for
Kingtown, the royal squadron could not make the
latter harbour sooner than about 11 o'clock, much too
late an hour to give the eitize,,s of Dublin an oppor-
tunity of enjoying the much desired sight. A letter
from Holyhead, of lost evening's date, says:
The Victoria and Albert wilt come from the refuge her.
hour and be at the jetty on Saturday, where the Queen will
embark, and if the royal party stay here on Sunday they
will not come on shore, but Divine service will be performed
on board. My own impression is that they will not sail hom
this until Sunday evening, and if toe weather be see, re,
perhaps nut until Mmday morning, which womd he the
latest period. They would leave men a little after day.
break, and will certainly be in Kingstown between 9 and
10 o'clock the same morning. 1), not, if ti e existing ar.
rangemenie hold, be surprised if on Sunday, at 1 or
2 a.m., the fleet should be in view off Kingeown; but I
consider that Sunday evening or early on Monday morning
will he the mos: probable time. The !ingest ewes of the
royal ships here is the Tribune, 3G gu..r, but another is ex-
pected this evening. You in ty depend on the quern: fauna
whence this intelligence comes, and there is no absolute
certainty as to the period the Queen sad. from tl,e harbour.
But in no event of stopping here will her Majesty lend on
Sunday, and being on board, of course any lavoundde
opportunity will be taken fur cro.,ing over to your e de of
the channel

Her Majesty's horses and carriages will cross the
Channel iu the railway company's steamer Hiaernia
this day.
This being.thc anniversary of the hirthday of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, a royal salute will
bo tired this morning from the great guns of her
Majesty's ship La Hogue, now 13 mg in Kingstown
Harbour. The people of Kingstown have been eau•
tiont.l by the police to keep all their windows open
on the occasion, to avoid having them broken by the
sound. In the evening the snip will be brilliantly
illuminated, and fireworks will be sent up. A grand
field day also takes place in honour of the occasion
in the l'hcenix P irk.

Notice has been given th a none bat the holders of
season tickets will be admitted to the Great Exhibi-
tion on Tuesday next, the duy when her Majesty will
visit the Exhibition in public. Tue sale of seats
along the route of the royal procession of Monday
next is going on briskly, and at good prices.
The election for Dutigarvan terminated yester-
day in the return of Mr. J. F. Maguire, who wig re-
turned by a large majority, the numbers having been
as near as I have been able to learn, 171 for Ma-
guire, and 77 for Gregory.
Mr. J. Hume, M.P., paid a visit to the South
Dublin Union Workhouse yesterday, and after being
shown over the various departments, entered the
board room at the invitation of the guardians. Mr.
Hume expressed himself very much pleased with
what he had seen. Ho said that the
establishment was in very good order, and,
as tar as he could judge, bud an advantage over
other similar institutions which he had visited, for it
was really a workhouse; the people were all em-
ployed. lie observed, however, many healthy-look-
ing women in the house, whom he thought it a pity
to keep there, if employment could be found for
them outside.—The Chairman remarked that unfor-
tuntrely they had many classes who could not obtain
employment.—Mr. Hume said that that would not
be the ease before long; the people were everywhere
going away rapidly. Mr. Hume, in cunclusion,
observed that the bedding in the house was excellent,
and that the winds were better than some of the
barracks which he had been in ; they were quite
free from smell, which was a certain test of cleanli-
ness.—The Chairman was happy to say that the
number of inmates was daily decreasing.—Mr. Hume
then asked for the annual report of the Union, which
the Chairman directed to be sent to his hotel.—Tbe
Chairman said the board were much indebted to Mr.
Hume, and was very glad that he was pleased with
what he had seen.

THE CEOPS.—BANDRIMIE, AVGl'st 23.—Our
correspondent writes.—•"f he season is still propitious, as
ter as potatoes, wheat, and the are c•eaceroed. The latter
crop will soon be extensively brought to market, us some
three or four steam mills are now beginning to ply their
machinery. l'otatues are still lavourable looking, and no
bad tubers are to be fume'. The wheat crop is excellent,
but the crop is unimportaut, owing to the small quantity
sown here. I have been the 'ugh most of the County Down
during the past week, and the crops everywhere look pros.
Krone There are no alterations in the price of marketable
articles here."—Northern Whig.
THE WEATHER.—We deeply regret to state that
a change of the moat ur.favourable kind took place in the
weather last evening about four o'clock. Heavy showers
have fallen, at inter.als during the last few days, but the
earlier part of yesterday was extremely tine and warm. At
the hour named, however, a violent fall of rain came on,
which continued during great part of the eight. Towards
daylight it was again tine, but about ten this norninz the
raid again set in heavily, with the wind from the south-
ward, and new descends in torrents, threatening disastrous
consequences to the grain crops in the neighbourhood. We
hope it may be only local.—Cork !importer.
