CITY or CO R K ELECTION.

[IRON TIM IitISLI GLIARIMMiI
The Fteciom of Members to serve iii Parliament,
is, post a very few exceptions, so mere a trial of
ocorwg the Locos of the Suil, and a matter
in which the Pep pie have, in reality, so little concern,
that is • think it would he a waste of time and space,
to be detailing the pretensions of rival Candidates,
and calculating the probability of this or that Gentle.
man's success or defeat. The City of Cork Election,
is, however. one of the exceptions. 'There the Peo-
ple have some share in returning a Representative,
• and, in consequence, the contest that is now pending
in that city, occupies a more than ordinary portion of
public attention. Mr. Hutchinson, the popular Can.
&date, is, we rejoice to say, certain of his return.
The struggle is therefore between Sir N. Colthurst,
and Colonel longfteld, and, to be very candid, we
are almost careless which may succeed. If it he
true, that the latter has refused to coalesce with
the former, for the purpose of throwing out Mr.
Ilutchinson, we with that Colonel Longfield may
triumph; though we heartily despise the half promise
that necessity has wrung from bim In favour of the
Catholics, and had he no other claim on the People
but that, it would, with us, he a reason for his rejec-
tion. What can be thought of the liberality of a
Sow who has grown grey in the ranks of bigotry?
Sir N. Colthurat is almost as thorough going a Mi.
siisterialist as Colonel lionafield and a much more
efficient supporter of those in power. For the ge-
neral interests of the country, it must therefore be a
matter of indifference, which may he rejected, and
we sincerely wish it were in the power of the People
Pl Cork to throw oot both, and bring in some man
of integrity and worth, along with Mr. Hutchinson;
this, however, it is impossible to do at present, but
hereafter it will not be so, and we hope the Electors
of the second city in Ireland will not be unmindful
of their duties. The triumphant place in which Mr.
Ilutchinson steads on the Poll, shows that another
snail of sound principles would hove but little diffi-
culty in distancing the Ministerial Candidates, and
milli, we hope, leave this the last time, when any
tool of Administration shalt have it in his power to
call himself the Representative of the Citizens of
Cork.

ENGLISH OPERA.--MrsS GAR iW. whoa. auccess
The Duenna and TAe Beggar's Opera has been so
• unequivocal, appeared last night in the character of ,
Itersina, which she sustained with admirable ability.
. The airs, which are of the pu t..st school, and amono
the best of the compositions of the elegant SHIELD,
are well calculated to show the greet compass of her
voice, its flexibility, and heir skill in the science of
• music. The charming song. The Worn returns, she
executed with a pathos that made a deep impression
wpm: the audience; it was truly a dPlici,,us perform-
ance. Miss KELLY'S Placebo is one of the most na-
tural, interesting, and perfect pieces of sr tang that we
have ever witnessed from this delightful and highly
finished performer ; and • Mr. PEARKAN'S Wird is ,
extremely respectable. The whole is exceedingly well
got up, and will, we augur, have a considerable run.
Woarttleo.— The arrivals at this delectable spot
are not only numerous, but of the highest class—
houses are preparing for the speedy reception of the
Duke and Duchess of DORsET, Duchess of Kurt. s ND,
Duchess of St. ALBANS, Lord Dvoi.a and WARD,
Lord M‘Do NAM), Lord WHITWORTH. and many other
Nobleand distinguished characters. A lderman Wenn is
here recovering from the fatigues of electioneering
exertion, and the bustle of city business ; indeed, it is
not surprising that men of good 54311,4 e and underitand-
log should come to this health• giving place. Taterree,
Abe Manager of the Theatre, hes arrived at his' Ps-
Alio°, and begins his Theatrical amusements this
-week. The bill of particulars he has not given, but
when he does, we trust he will not give less than
what is set down, and that he will beer in mind the
company in Worthing are 'elect, and any garbled
extracts of plays, merely to introduce songs from the
cracked coke of a star (fatigued, and perhaps injured
in health from violent exertions), is an Insult to the
company.
Towettrnoe Wem,s.—No former season, within
the recollection of the oldest inhabitants, abounded
With a display of rank and fashionables, at so early
.a period, equal with the present; and the wonder
will vanish, when it is considered, that not another

forts and advantages that are to be found here, espe-
cially during the present unusual heat, from the
abundant shaded walks and sides in almost every di-
rection ; and although the oppressive heats won't! al-
most intimidate many who daily take their accustomed
exercise, if the pure air, which they catch at inter-
vals, when emerging from the shsrie to a more ex:
posed part, did not ealtiletare and refresh them,
heightened frequently by a sudden burst upon one of
the richest prospects that the imaginations of the poet
or painter eau conceive.
