IRELAND.—DUBLIN, Friday Morning.—Yesterday Sir
George Grey, Sir Charles Wood, and Sir Francis Baring
proceeded to Cork by the mid-day mail train, for the
purpose of inspecting the harbour there, and also the
naval depots and stores, with a view, as it is understood,
to their improvement and extension.
THE SHERIFFS OF LONDON AND MIDDLESEX.—We
understand it is the intention of the Sheriffs elect, Alder-
man Kennedy and Alderman Rose, to celebrate their in-
auguration dinner in a manner worthy of. the office at the
London Tavern, which is being magnificently embel-
lished for the occasion. More than 100 workmen are
employed in the redecoration of the banqueting hall, the
largest in the City of London: We are also given to
understand that, owing to the increased business of the
establishment, Mr. Bathe has associated with him Mr.
S. Funge, a gentleman well known in the City, and also
Mr. S. Palmer, who has been for 20 years connected
with the tavern.
