THE ROYAL CUP AT CORK REGATTA.--The fol

lowing strange paragraph appears in the Cork Ex-
aminer:—" Rumour speaks of a rather lengthened
correipendence having taken place between the ma-
nagers of the late regatta and the Right lion, the
Home Secretary, the former positively maintaining
that the cup given by Royalty was net a cup a: all,
and otherwise expressing their dissatisfaction at the
manner in which the wishes of her Majesty had been
carried out. Sir George Grey asserted, on the con-
trary, that the article in question, notwithstanding
certain peculiarities of form, which made it difficult
to refer it to any class of objects in creation, was
really and veritably a cup. However, he said, they
were at liberty to make ducks or drakes of it, if they
liked, but they might rest perfectly assured that they
would never get another. In this position the im-
portant controversy remains at present."
