Dosux, Nov. 14.
RESULT OF THE CORK ELECTION.
By ponulor apathy and popular division the liberal
intend bas bee; &hated in Cork. The polling took
place yesterday, wd cocadocted taroughout the day
without the slightest symp:-Ist of excitement, au,:
bolt-pant famt Jut before the darting of the mail, the
numbers were :
Cbatterton BBO
)11.1arthy

Majority for the tory candidate 293
At that moment the polling was proceeding lan-
guidly, so that there seemed no likelihood that the
above proportion would be disturbed. The con-
servatives made a bold start in the morning and
eerily sustained their place throughout the day. At
the Cork city election in 1846 the numbers polled
were :

Ma*PbY
Callaghan
Chatterton
What will become of the properties to be disposed
of by the Inoembered &totes Commission What
kind of prices will they bring, or will they fled any
wavier@ whatever? These are questions which
everybody asks, for however ill-founded it be, there
is no doubt that the failure of the recent great sale in
London has caused considerable alarm on this had.
Sundry fertile minds are occupied suggesting plans to
meet the juncture. A correspondent of the Emil,"
Poet, for whose opinions that journal expresses re-
spect, suggests that the bast course would be,
Not to sell now, but to endeavour to stake the estates pro-
duce a well-paid ritual, to divide maggot the creditors, lentil
the principal debts or a fair portion eon be obtained ; and
by an sabotaged of the present ownipiers' rent on • fair het
live principle, the energus of the people would be put An
haws, whtlat for their farther ineoursgentent the" aught be
Inibtad to purchase the tee on payment of the fined legal
piss in annual tesealmeats.
The writer further suggests a ready prepared ma-
&beery to work his plan ; for would make the
slicers of excise, or inland revenue, collect the rents
for the Commissioners of Incumbered Estates.

THZ CONNEMARA ligTATEi.—From the Mayo Con-
Migtatiow, a ceneenative journal, we copy the following as to
the real value of the properly, and the priers brought at the
males shied! had:—" We perceive that some of our contem-
poraries who have copied the bill of sale, complain loudly of
the hardness of the times, and the very low figure at which
land in Connaught is selling. Now, we apprehend they are
under a mistake in a doable point of view—in the first place
the land of Connemara is not that elms of land which could
be expected to bring a ling price—it is principally moor and
improvable mountain; and in the next place, the price had
well a Tfg fair one, taking into amount the depression of the
times. The valuation, it appears, was made in 1847, !ram
the rentals then made, and it we assume, es we may fairly do,
that the rents then paid bad bean agreed for prior to the
famine, at d when a competition for land existed, we may
calculate that they are about the average yearly value
Taking this view if it, let us now see what thl sales have
been, We shall take them almost in order as they were put
up, leaving out the lots that were bought in by valuators—
Lo:s. Truly rent. Bid to or Equal to.
No. for Years' purchase.

It will be said, no doubt, that these biddiims were made in
the hope that on the falarg in of lemes the value would in-
crease; bat that it is witizh iotioences ell purchasers, end in
them cases much of the land is let on lease fur lives. 0..
the whole, we think there is no reason to despair so (Sr as
third bidding, give earnest of the future ; and we think the
mortgagees did well not to allow their property to be sold on
low terms. At the same time, we mutt say the bidders ate
either very lent siglred or fool-hardy who would venture to
make each offers in the teeth of tt:e enormous poor rates,
county mu, and low price of produce."

grated to carry or have arms to William Drury, of Pottle-
