IRELAND.

CORK, SEPT. B.—One of the principal cause%
of complaint in this country, and one which oIW
rates so powerfUlly against. its improvement,
we are grateful to find, about to, he removed by-
the public-spirited exertions of a ,great English
Nobleman=the Duke of Devonshire, who pos-
sesses valuable and extended estates in this guar'
ter of Ireland. Mr. Abercrombv, hiS Grace's
confidential friend, is at present in Lismore; and
has recently brought over from Cornwall an able
English miner, who is now employed in exarniiv
ing his Grace's estates on the coast, in order to
discover Whether any coals or minerals are 9i"
teat® there ; so as immediately to work thosi,
mines, and give employment to a great portion or
our population, if he should be so fortunate as to,
succeed in his . search. What an advantage
to Ireland if he should succeed ! When pa'
trotism and an ample fortune are thus liar
pily combined, and directed to such use'.
ful objects, may we not anticipate the,
most, beneficial results for the country ? Thus:
though his Grace's residence is not among:
us, yet from the liberality of his disposition' to-
wards us, seconded by able and intelligent agents;
we have not much cause to regret this circuity
stance.; and his useful and well7directed efforts
form an example to other absentees. A large
proportion of the revenues he, draws from this
Country, is directed to its improvement and ad`
vantage. The town of Dungarvan, we under`
stand from a gentleman who lately visited it, 15
flourishing in a'great degree under his Gra.c.e'S,
'auspices. Since the recent encouragement to Of
fisheries, by the bounty of the Legislature, that
has not been backward in Making the Tie
.cessary exertions. The take of fish there he
been immense. Last week. fine hake were Vl'
ling there at 3-1(1. per c9uple, and every other
species of fish in proportion.
