ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

This city now exhibits a very gay and lively ap-
pearance. The bustle of the embarkation is now
nearly over, but the streets are enlivened by the ap-
pearance of our brave heroes, hastening their equi-
page and baggage on board.
Yesterday the Committee of Merchants in Cork
paid the gallant General, Sir A. WELLzsc Er, tiler
respects as Chief Secretary to the Irish Government.
He afterwards dined with the Mayor and Corporation.
The social board was graced with most of the Staff of
the Expedition, and the entertainment was one of the
most splendid ever witnessed in this city.
