COS[, SEPTEMBER 20.
ARRIVAL OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF
DEVONSHIRE.
During yesterday there was considerable anxiety
evinced by a large portion of the population of this
city for the arrival of this illustrious Nobleman,
who had left all the attractions of England to visit
this country, in order to continue, upon an extended
scale, those acts of munificence and kindness he has
so liberally afforded to his numerous truantry.
Great exertions had been made to complete the
Portcullis, so that his Grace may have Passed over
it, and be saved the trouble of a circuitous route
over the North-bridge, but it could not have then
timely effected.
About four o'clock his Grace and suite arrived
at the Commercial Buildings Hotel, and on leaving
his carriage was cheered by tile numerous assemblage
collected near it.
About half an hour after his Grace's arrival, a
deputation from the Corporation of Cork,consisting
of the or, Recorder, Sheriffs, Town Clerk, and
M ,yor Elect, and several Members of the Corporate
Body. proceeded to the Hotel, in eider to carry into
effect the resolution of presenting his Grace with
the Freedom of the City of Cork. Upon the De-
putation being introduced to the Duke, he re-
ceived them in the most dignified and courteous
manner.

The Recorder then addressed his Grace in an
elegant and appropriate speech, stating, " that the
Corporation of Cork, motions to enrol his Grace
amongst the Frren.en of this ancient City, had
waited upon him to confer that compliment, to
which his Grace's virtues had so justly entitled
him."

To which the Duke replied, that "he felt most
sensibly the compliment conferred, and that lie
should estimate it highly, and always evince his
anxiety for the welfare of the city of Cork, and the
happiness of Ireland in general."
The Deputation remained • considerable time,
during which we underetood his Grace to have
sought information no various subjects connected
with the improvements and_ interests of this city.

DINNER TO THE DUKE AT THE MANSION
HOUSE.

The Corporation, •rixinuo upon this occasion to
evince the most generous hospitality, which was se-
conded by every effort on the part of our Chief
Magistrate, considerable preparations had been
commenced some days since for the entertainment
to he given to his Grace. About 7 o'clock the
Noble Duke reached the Mansion House, when his
was ushered to the grand drawing-room, where the
Mayor, wiih a party formed of several noblemen
and gentlemen of this county and city, who were
invited to meet his Grace at dinner, had assembled ;
upon dinner bring announced, his Grace, accom-
panied by the Mayor, proceeded to the dining-
room, where a splendid and sumptuous entertain.
ment had been laid, consisting of turtle, venison,
and every rarity the season affords, rod served in a
style of unusual magnificence; this was succeeded
by a dessert of the choicest fruits.
On the cloth being reinoved, the health of " The
King" was announced by the Mayor, and drank in
the most respectful matinee; which was succeeded
by—
" The Duke of York and the Army."

"Our Brother Freemen, his Gr•c; the Duke of Deveashile,
and Ibt Noble House of Cavendish,"

which was received with the most distinguished
marks of respect. . .

Fits GRACE addressed the Mayor, and said, that
he felt moat gratefully and sensibly the honour con-
ferred upon him by the company at that moment,
and also the compliment lie had received from the
Corporation on his arrival. Ile thanked them most
cordially, assured them of his anxiety for the wel-
fare of the city of Cork, and concluded by drinking
the Mayor's health and the company.
The following toasts were then given by 11 e
Mavor:--
"The generous orsi benevolent People of England, who
bad so liberally come (ornate!, with i Item, to relieve their
fellow-subject' in Ireland, in time of tired."
" Lord Colville, sod life squadron on the Irish station?'
"General Sir John Lambert, and the south-west district."
The MAYOR then took an opportunity of calling
the attention of the company to a toast lie was about
to ■nnounce—

how sensibly grateful they were of the honour then

" Our worthy Mayor Meet."
Mr. llaow ELL returned thanks.

In • short time the Duke conveyed to the Mayor
his wishes to pay the kribute of his respect to the
ladies of Cork and its vicinity, by visiting the con-
cert ; when the Mayor, with a considerable part of
the company, attended his Grace to Mr. Aube'
concert at the Assembly Rooms.
We understand that the preparations for the en-
tertainment attracted several ladies to view them iu
the course of yesterday, and the result of the even-
ing proved that neither expense nor trouble were
spared in providing • repast worthy of the noble
guests and de company asvembled by the Chief
Magistrate upon this interesting occasion. The
wines were in abundance, sod of the choicest de-
• •riptiou ; and it may with justice be said, that no
preceding Corporate entertainment at the Mansion
House could have afforded more general satisfaction.

At an early hewn this morri;lig his Grace the
Da ke of Devonshoreand suited left the Commercial-
buildings Hotel in three carriages, and proceeded to
Boudoir. He is expected spud in this city ro-mor-
roe, from *heave he proceed. to visit the Marquis
of Thousand at Hostellers.
