THE COVE OF CORK.

(FROM A Lormos ritaloptcAL.)

shooting away from Passage, we soon enter the COI of Cork,
the harbour of harbours, the pride of his Majesty's ports, and the
glory of Old Ireland. During the war, when Ireland was at peace
with itself, this harbour was the station for King's *hips, and the
grand rendezvous for all Southern, West Indian, and A merieint
convoys. Full mauy a morn has the sun shone upon the sails of
eight hundred vi.esels, safe at anchor on its waters. At present
there are, perhaps, three er four sulky ships riding far. apart, only
waiting for a fair wind to rut and run. Then were there King's
Ships, many in number, and great in the attractions of their guns
and gold laced officers; then was the quay of the Core the seine
of commercial bustle and naval gallantry ; then did Mrs. Broad-
way flourish in her marine hotel ; then did Mr. Fitzpatrick make
block and cut sails to some purpose ; then did the Cork milliner*
find cnnstant employment in the milers of the Cove Misses ; then
did the parsons get work in tying fond couples together ; then did
cigar smoke and rum grog abound ; then was pure brandy and
run tea to be had cheap ; then were card parties, and deuces, and
fat dinners, as common as fresh herrings in the Isle of Man. But
now, Tantararanter, again every thing and every body is changed.
We have degenerated from a great port to a summer bathing plate.
Mr. Fitzpatrick stands at his shop door idle, with his hands in
his breeches pockets, like a crocodile; and the portly Mrs. Bread-
way has gone to take her pleasure at Bath. We have one King's
ship, to be sure, like the last rose of summer, inertly for the linnot r
of the thing, as an Admiral is still stationed here, and a few grna.

there were lots of windfalls certain to drop in the mane of the
