The Diligence sloop of war is now come into the

CORK, OCT. 14.
Scarcely any occurrence of an ordinary sort has
mawd so universal a sensation of regret as the strik-
ing of Admiral Drury's flag on the Irish station.
Among the commercial past of the community, his
foresight, aFlivity, and continued efforts for the pro-
teelion of the general trade, is felt with the warmest
sentiments of approbation and respell ; and we Wil-
der:mod it is intended, and highly do we applaud
that intention, to record, at once, the sentiments of
the one, and the useful and honourable services of
the other, in a valuable memorial of their esteem.
