.the Royal visit. In the meantime various prepa-
rations for the event are in progress rough the
town, and of these some are of a description likely to
be permanently useful—such as that of wideninj the
flagged way in front of the Bank of Ireland, in
lege-green, &c.
Their Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and Coun-
tess of St. Germans paid a visit this afternoon to the
Museum of Irish Industry, on Stephen's-green.
The Cork City election terminated last evening, as
I stated would be the ease, in the triumphant return
of Mr. Beamish, the liberal candidate; the numbers
at the close of the poll having been, for Bearuish,
1,183; for Chatterton, I,oo3—majority fur Beamish,
180. The most cotnplete tranquillity prevailed
throughout the day: the people of C 'rk thus giving
the most effectual contradiction to the assertions of
the tories, that former liberal triumphs were owing
to mob intimidation. _ _

The nomination for Dungarvon takes place on
Tuesday next, and the pulling on the following
Thursday. Mr. Maguire has been well received by
the electors, and Captain Brabazon does not appear
to have yet made auy personal canvas. The latter
candidate belongs to the same section of the Irish
liberal party that Mr. Edward O'Flaherty, Mr.
Maguire's former opponent, did, and he will have the
support of a large number of the Roman catholic
clergy, with the powerful influence of the Duke of
Devonshire's interest at his back. The contest will
no doubt be a very close one.
A special meeting of the Limerick corporation was
held yesterday, to decide what course was to be pur-
sued on the occasion of the Queen's visit to Ireland,
with a view of tesaying their loyalty and attachment
to her Majesty. After some discussion an address
was adopted, a monstrously absurd amendment to it
having had the support of three out of 27 members
present:.. _ _ _

Mr. Ilume, M.P., Mr. Burke, M.P.. and Mr.
Scully, M.P., formed part of a large cirle entertained
by their excellencies the Lord• Lieutenant and Coun-
tess of St. Germans on Thursday.
An investigation has been held relative to the re-
cent supposed Ribbon outrages at Clara, in the King's
County, and it has resulted in the discovery that the
shots were fird into the Rev. Mr. Turpin's windows
by one of his own servants, who stated that he only'
wanted to terrify his master. 'the man has been
committed by the magistrates, and much satisfaction
is expressed that the character of the neighbourhood
hssbeen saved from the stain of ribbonism.

The sentence on Charlotte Gribben, left for execu-
tion at Belfast for the murder of her illegitimate
child, has been commuted to transportation for life.
Yesterday a man named Hayden gave himself up
to the police on a charge of drowning a young
woman in the canal near Dublin. He was com-
mitted for trial.

The weather has assumed a broken and boisterous
aspect, but the tone of all our harvest reports never-
theless seems to improve rather than otherwise. The
fears with regard to the potatoes are heard less of
every day, and the standing crops do not appear to
have suffered in the slightest degree from any rain
that has yet fallen. The reaping has commenced in
some quarters and will shortly become general. The
markets aro supplied in great abundance with
potatoes of the very finest quality, none of them
showing the slightest symptom of disease.
