EXPORT Ot CATTLE.

(From the Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Monday.)
On Saturday the Quay below Patrick's Bridge,
known in other and better days as " Merchants'
Quay," exhibited an instance of the change of times
and revolution in the trade of this city. Mr. Canny,
of the county of Clare, having forwarded 101 prime
bullocks for shipment, from hence, for Bristol, the
Quay was, for some hours, covered with those fine
animals—they were then shipped on board three
vessels. On an adjoining Quay another shipment
of cattle, 58 cows and some sheep, took place at the
same time. At this period of the year, in the times
above alluded to, preparations would be in a state of
forwardness in the stores on those Quays for com-
mencing the salting of Beef—thereby diffusing em-
ployment amongst the numerous hands dependent
on the season; but these days have passed, not to
be succeeded by others productive of more real Jie-
nefit, either to the commercial or the landed interests,
and certainly not to the mechanic or the labourer.

Cattle from Ireland into Liverpool, for the week
ended Oct. s—Cows, 1,560; Calves, 699; Pigs,
2,917; Lambs, 141 ; Sheep, 1,568, and 1 Horse.

BALLINASLOE FAIR.—The Black Cattle Fair

more gloomy than even had been anticipated. Hei-
ferb declined about 21. 10,;. on the prices of last year,
and Oxen of five cwt., about 3/. The purchases
were chiefly made by graziers, and no demand ex-
isted for the English market.

_DINNER GIVEN BY MR. SERJEANT
WILDE, YESTERDAY,
TO THOSE WHO ARE FACTIOUSLY CALLED POOR BLUES,

BUT WHOM wit SHALL DENOMINA CH HONEST CON-

SCIENTIOUS BLUES.

(Abridged from the Newark Times of Wednesday.)
Notice had been given that it was Mr. Serjeant
Wilde's intention, previously to leaving, to give
what is s;gnificantly termed in this town, a "Bit of a
Do." Mr. Charles Pearson had for some days past
been engaged in making the necessary arrangements
for the proper distribution of tickets and for the
arranging the best accommodation, both for those
who intended dining, and those who wished to wit-
ness a scene of festivity amid oppression. Twelve
o'clock had been appointed for a procession, and
long before that hour not less than► 2,000 persons
had assembled to convey their testimony to the
Worthy Serjeant of the esteem they bore him for
his manly, kind, generous, and prompt attention to
their interests, and the welfare of the town. The
band was in attendance, flags were waiving in the
air, and the garlands, which were numerous and
tasty, displayed the enthusiasm which was so gene-
rally and powerfully felt. The booth, which had
been erected for the meeting on the sth instant,
was tastefully fitted up with bouquets of various
flowers; wreaths, rosettes, and garlands, decorated
the hustings, lamps in various devices were sus-
pended around, and the whole formed a coup dceil
never before witnessed in this town; but amid this
manufactured display for incitement, there was that
which must have imparted to every feeling mind
more lasting, more powerful, more deep impressions,
—it was the cheerful countenances of those who
already had been the victims of his Grace's revenge,
and those who dared him to continue his mad
"career. At two o'clock, the tables were covered
with good substantial English fare, roast beef and
plum pudding, and a quart of ale by the side of
each man. There are two modes of giving equality
—lowering oneself and raising others; so felt the
Serjeant. The Duke, by his conduct, had lowered
himself to the equality of the most ignorant among
them. The learned Serjeant, by his presence at the
dinner, raised them to a consequence which they by
nature are, and ought by station to be, placed. The
Serjeant's condescension was properly estimated—.
none but felt grateful for his kindness—none but
were anxious to testify it, by their excellent conduct.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE afterwards addressed the
Electors in two speeches, the last of which he con-
cluded with the expression of his ardent wishes for
the prosperity of the inhabitants of the borough,
whether reds or blues.

The following toasts were then drank :
The worthy Electors, who have the Duke of New-
castle's certificate of honesty,—a notice to quit.
Unshackled Representatives, chosen by free
Electors.

Freedom from wrong : not freedom to do wrong.
May the power of the great never be used to de-
stroy the rights of the poor.
The Blues, and may their moderation and firmness
be crowned with success.

The Duke of Wellington, and may the benefits of
his administration in peace, exceed the splendour of
his achievements in war.

May the Crown Lands of Newark be hereafter
used to secure that independence, which they have
hitherto been made to destroy.
Mr. CHARLES PEARSON addressed the meeting at
some length.
As soon as the curtains of day had been drawn,
the whole was lighted up, and presented an almost
enchanting appearance. A torch-light procession
proceeded round the town—in front Serjeant Wilde
in his carriage, The wives and sweethearts of the
blues had been, by direction of the worthy Serjeant,
provided with tea at the different houses of the land-
lords who furnished the dinner :and an order for ad-
mission to the dance, which was now to take place
in order to close the festivities of the day, which was
kept up when we went to press. Whatever may be
thought of the conduct of the Duke (and but one
really honest opinion can be given), the conduct of
the Blues is entitled to the commendation of all
parties, and must be to the Serjeant an additional
proof, if any were wanting, that power may be
perverted, but honest indignation never controuled.
Upon Mr. Serjeant Wilde's return to the booth,
the dancing commenced; the hustings were again
graced and honoured by the presence of the ladies.
The crowd was so great to obtain admission, that it
was with great difficulty that numbers got in. After
the two first dances Mr. Hitchins requested the
whole meeting to surround the hustings, and com-
menced by observing—Mr. Serjeant Wilde, I am
deputed by some of the Blues of Newark to attempt
(for an attempt it will be) to convey to you the feel-
ings which have governed the poor (as they are
called) blue women of the town. They, Sir, know
of no better means—nay, Sir, of no means so good
to testify their real pleasure and their grati-
tude to you, as showing some mark of re-
spect to one who is dearer to you than
yourself—l need not mention Mrs. Wilde. They
honestly conceive it a token inadequate to their own
feelings, their own desires, above all, Sir, to the
"inherent" qualifications by being allied to you, she
must possess. It is a ring, Sir, emblematical as
they conceive of her, pure gold; it is studded with
stones of the first water, and there is a complete
anagram in them,—for, Sir, there is a Ruby, an
Emerald, a Garnet, an Amethyst, a Ruby, and a
Diamond, forming the word Regard; it is, Sir,
manufactured by our friend Weston, and bears an
inscription—" The gratitude of the female blues of
Newark." It is not for me even to trust my own
feelings, much less to indulge when incited by others,
but I think I may, for I know I am uttering the sen •
timents individually and collectively of all when I
say, may her health be preserved, and her life for
many years spared.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE, under strong excitement,
returned thanks in a most powerful and feeling
speech, and placed the ring on his finger, remarking
that he should value it more than all his family rings.
