IRELAND.

THE QUEEN IN IRELAND.
Deanne, ACOVIT 3.
The town h?re looked gayrr yesterdaT than I have
seen it this many and many a day. Ile people in
the streets have recovered that animated, happy look
that was so much the characteristic of the Dublin
population. The MO, one would say, appear to be
themselves again, elastic, joyous, and mercurial; and
in the height of their spirits turairg everything into
fun. The Lord Mayor comes in for a fair stare of
quizzing. It is said that he was very anxious to ride
by the side of the royal cars iage in the grand proces-
sion ; but an official letter from London received yes-
terday announced that the Commander of the F,rces,
Sir E. Blakeney, should ride at one side, and Prince
George of Cambridge at the other. The mayor and
corporation are to follow the royal carriage in its
train. At the city gates, the marshal of the corpora-
tion, Mr. Thomas Reyaolds (the brother of the mem-
ber for Dub'in), is to make a speech to her Majesty.
The anxiety of ladies wishing to be presented to
the Quern hes reached the greatest height. In all
all directions everybody is looking for somebody to
present them, and thedifficulty is mach greater than
was firs' anticipated. It has been notified by the Lord
Chamberlain, and the officials, that no one can be pre-
sented here except by • lady who has already been
presented at the Court of St. James's. Consequently
the numbers at the drawing-room here will be more
limited than was supposed at first. The Evening
Post of last night was again peremptory on this sub-
ject; to wit --
TER LIVES AND DRAWINO-ROOK;WII beg to impress
upon those desirous of being pres.nted at the Queen's levee
and drawing-roost, that it is necessary, as specified in the
sotillesion from the Lord Chamherlain's Alm, already pub-
lished, that they should be presented by persons who had
previously been presented to her Majesty, sad whose per-
sonal attendance at the levee or drawing-room will be ii.dia-
pensable. although they will not have to take ran in the
ceremonial of p er•enttliOn.
The Dublin snobocracy are quite feverish at the
ides of so many of them being ezcluded from the
drawing-room, and I could give you some striking
facts about the lengths to which applicants for being
presented have gone. It is said that the Countess of
Clarendon his been besieged for tte last few days
with applications.

CORK, AUGUST 2.
Immediately on my arrival in this cty, last even-
ing, I received practical proof of the lively interest
felt by all classes in the anticipated visit of her Ha-
i jesty, by finding it almost impossible to obtain apart-
metre of any description. The inns were all crammed
and their doors surrounded by disappointed suitors for
admission, whose loyal enthusiasm visibly cooled
under the probability of spending a night in the
street. Having at list succeeded, by dint of the most
reapee ful solicitations to a compase.osate waiter,
in obtaining shelter, I proc eded to collect the
facts, conjectures, and prepirationa connected
will this the first progress of a British Queen
thraugh the moot wrsterly division of her im-
peiial territor:es. To ear 'bet the "beautiful city" is
all in a bus would give b r a very faint idea of the
meet that is p i•cep tble whichever way you
turn y. ur ps. Eveiy hi use is literally. nc-usted
'situwi.ii! :-(.1 arcre sru yni..t. re, en I u. e ch p in-
I eipa 'tie tthe runtA of thehammer is conataLtly goirig

in the construction of triumphal arches. The city, in
fact, exhibls the appearance of (ice vast rehearsal.
Ma) ors anal corporations I re retie. rsing loyal addressee,
and couje. toting gracious a,. we: r.; the ladies are e-
hoarsiog graceful positioos in the temporary bah °oleo,
many of wtich will aseuredly c.-sme down ; and ever
and anon the strains of a m•litary band indicate tnat
some regiment of toe garrison is rehearsing the duty
it is to perform on the all-important day.
To day it was the 26th Cameroni►us, who,
at half-past seven in the morning, march. d
through Patrick-street t 3 the air of "Gol save the
Queen," end rehearsed their position in the pag.aut.
Tne general expectation, amounting almost to cer-
tainty, is, that her Majes•y will reach the harbour
to-marrow evening. Passing through the nom•rous
fleet of pleesare yachts oollected to honour the royal
progress, her Majesty will land at Cove, where a
handenne menace pavilion has beers prepared for her
reception. There tte sovereign will receive the loyal
addre-s of the inhabitants, and give forth (as is ex-
pected) the royal mandate that Cove shall be a cove
no longer, but rejoicer in the more respectable and un-
equivocal title of Qicenstown. Flags of all nations
and of all colours will wave from every eminence,
pinna.l., and chimney; andat night the threa villages
of Cove. Monkstown, and Passage will be radiant
with illuminations. Even the waters must have their
loyal drspity, as on two berg, a moored between Cove
and Spike bland a metropolitan arti t will give a
pvrotcheic exhibition. On Saturday her Majesty is
eats eteei to com.. up the river cn b and the Fairy
tender, and, having landed at the Custom-house, is to
r,ceive the loyal address of the corporation of Cork.
The royal progress through the city will then nom.
mence, and her Majesty having passel through the
principal portions of the city will return to the royal
yecht, and the squadron will weigh miner
for Dublin. Such are the main features of tho
intended pageant, but there are other impor-
tant questions a ill under discus:ion, and which
are warmly canvassed in the press and the various
local centres of public opinion. ll:wnination is truly
a vexed question.
Winn about to close my letter, I was obliged by
his Worship the Mayor with a copy of the tollowin;
communication, which he had just received from the
Home-office :

Whitehall, July 31, 1849.
Sir,—l am directed by Saretiry Sir George Grey to a•-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27 h inst., and
the copy of the address to be presented to her Msj!sty by the
corp 'ration of Cork, which be baa no doubt will be very gra-
ciously received. Sir G. Grey is uweblo to state with cer-
tainty the timo of her Majesty^ arrival, as it must depend
on the state of the weather, which may oecaiinn esmieferible
delay ; bat, if the weather should be favourable, Sir G. Grey
thinks that the royal yacht may possibly reach Cove on Friday
evening. Her Majecy would, however, delay the reception
of any address nuul the following day. Sir G. Grey is not
aware that he can offer any suggestiens which could be of use
as to the arrangements for her Majesty's reception, as the
information which has reerhed him leads him to believe that
nothing will be required which has not already been fully
provided for by you and other 1-eel authorities. He will,
however, be happy, e n his arrival at Cork, to afford any in-
formation winch may be ul use.
I have the honour, alts , W. WADDIXOTON.

SCOTLAND.
HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO GLASGOW.

GLASGOW. AVOL'ST 2.
A communication from Sir CL:orge Grey was re-
ceived here to-day by the Lard P.orost, rating that
her Majesty may be expected to reach Scotland in
the course of the week alter next. The letter went on
to Bay that,
Ou arrivinz in the Clyde, her Maji sty will probably re-
main on board the yacht for a day And a ni..ht h fore pro-
ceeding to Glargor, daring which time the would wish to
avoid any public reception or demonstration. If the tide
should salt, her Majesty would, on quitting the royal yacht,
go up the river to Glasgow in the m .rniag in the Felt), on
board of which veasel she will receive the addres,ta to be
presented; after which her ilisjesty auk] proceed by the
route proposed by your lordship, visiting the univrrsity and
eathelnl, and ending at the railway station, wheel her
.Majesty would enter the railway (unitee and proceed to
Perth. But the time will not allow of her accepting the in-
vi,ation to a <Weiner, or is specting the various manufacture,
of Ghetto+ and its ntighbourbood.
The dxament eonel ded na follows:

I am comma• ded to desire that your lordship will convey
to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, and the menthers of the
Western Club, her Disk sty's thanks far their offer of the
club bottle; but her Majesty's stay in Glasgow will not be of
tafficient length to enable her to avail herself of it.

TILE CROPS IN GALLOWAY. A correspondent
writing from GI ,Iloway says ;—" The crops in this district
look exoeedingly well, having been much improved by the
recent propittuu. weather. The y ield of potatoes is enor-
nrms, though the market is still kept bare, and the priee op
to Gd. per stone 'Turnips appear all that could be desired.
Farme rs are busily engaged securing the hay crop, which
has turned out much better than was snticipamd. Cattle
continue very low in price."—Olcsagoto Daily Msii.
