The American Frigate Macedonian—-The Pleasure Trip to Cove f {From the Cork Reporter, July 27.] Seldom, eee, has it been our lot to apend so truly appy a day a8 we yesterday enjoyed on board the Royal All tamer, in the Y eaves trip given by the citizens of Cork to Commodore DeKay, and the officers of the United States frigate Macedonian. To say that the trip wasone of unmingled pleasure and de- light would but convey to our readers a very ir idea indved of the happiness enjoyed by all on pee The Royal Alice proceeded to Cove. and on ‘ival. ® deputation consisting of his worship the Mayor, the Harbor Master, who throughout the day carried silver oar bis badge of office. the very Rev. Mr. Mathew, Mvssrs. M.H. Conway and W, Hackett, and the Town Clork proceeded on shore, to accompany the guests on board. In the course of a few minutea they returned, accompanied by Sir Thomas Ussher, Mise Ussher.Commo- dore DeKay, Mra DvKay. the American Consul, Mrs. and Miss Murphy, Captain Fisher, (Stromboli,) Mrs. Firher, Dr Power, Mra, Power, &o. ko &o. The party being now complete. the expedition com- menced in real earaeet. The Royal Alice proceeded down the harbor to the East beautiful river for s-veral miles. The enchanting views of this locality exoited very general admiration, espe- cially among the strangers. While in the East Ferry, It was thought desirable to get up a set of quadrilles, and in a few minutes after the subject was first mooted, six- teen couple were merrily tripping it on the quarter deck Ferry. passed along up that | to the music of the banjo quadrilles. Tho Royal Alice then passed the Crocodile and Macedonian a second time, and saluted them, the band playing Rule Britannia and Yankee Doodle. As it waa yet but three o'clock, the steamer proceeded to visit several other points from. which @ picturesque or beautiful scene could be ob- tained, and continued to sail about till four o’clocl, when the whole party were landed at Haulbowline, and promevaded about the island, while preparations were making on board for the dejeuner, . Shortly after five o'clock the wholo party sat down to @ wost sumptuous dejeuner on tho quarter deck, It is almost unnecessary to say that the entertainment was everything that could be expected from that ex- cellent providore Mra, Ushen. The tables were ab- minis overburdened with substantial and delicate viands, Some little confusion took pee in setting the com- pany down tothe banquet. This arose from the party being rather too numerous for the quarter deck, but the inconvenience was borne with the greatest good hu- mor, and gentiemen contented themselves with a; propiiating their knees to the service of the table. During the entertainment the vessel was sailing round the harbor. His worship the Mayor presided. On hia right we ob- served Commodore De Kay, Capt. Fisher, R. N , Father Taylor, the Very Rev. Theodore Mathew, Gounsellor Reeves, &o. On bisleft Mrs De Kay, Mrs. Murphy, Cap- tain Cameron, second officer of the Macedonian, Dr. Dodge, (Macedonian’. &e., &e. ‘The High Sheriff of the city and Andw.

It was, “Lhe Commander of the Mac donian.”” (Loud applause) It would be idle to ende vor, by any fervor of lauguage, to express the gratitude of their hearts, at the mention ef his uame. ‘That feel- ing was much inoreased now that they had been so fortunate as to be acquainted with #o noble « representa- tive of that giorious country whose bounty he had brought (Hear, hear.) It was not for what the Ameri- cans had done for this stricken land that they enter- tained these ferlings towards them—it waa not that in imany a hapless peusant’s home the sunken eye would grow bright, and the pallid cheek again become flushed at the mention of the relief brought by the Macedonian —it was not for this that they hailed them with such enthusiastic feelings, but it was on account of the noble example they had given to the world—that they had achieved a nooler tact than all the histories of ancient oe moderu nations afforded. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They had heard of the disastrous divisions among Irish- 1aen, but they would be glad to learn that this calamity had brought them all together, and banded them in one link together, enabling them to appreciate in each other the virtues that, before, :huir prejudices prevented them trow recoguising.

The ship in which | came was selected by me from the consideration that she was the best andstrong- est built ship in the United States,and as her mission was to save life, I conceive the selection well made.— She was built in Virginia, with extra ion, being intended for a surveying expedition near the South Pole, where she might have ice islands to contend with. Her builder is now chief naval architect of our government. She comes loaded more deeply than in any other cause prudence would have permitted me to load her. She brings focd and clothing to those of your des coun- trymen here and i Scotland, who ay still be suffering, notwithstanding your own incessant labors in their be- half, (hear, hear, and cheers) Those to whom these articles are consigned willin their own good time state from whom they come and whither they must go Permit me to congratulate myself, however, that the duty assumed has thus far been faithfully discharged— the cargo is safely landed, and not @ barrel damaged; the undivided cares and anxivties bestowed upon thisotject are more than repaid by your approval, aud the convic- tion und assurance (hat you feel with me in the cause of charity, which blesseth alike him that giveth aad him that receiveth.

More- over, the fact of Lord John Russell being at the head of the poll palpably refutes the accusation, for no one rup- poses that # penny was spent improperly on his behslf— while the further fact that more votes were polled on either side than on any former oceasion,is proot demon- trative that the Tories could not hava been weakened by the corrupt practices of the Liberals. ‘I'wenty, thir- ty, and forty thousand pounds are the sum: indifferently named as Rothschild’s contiogent towards the expenses: But this is neorssarily, the merest copjecture, hazarded without date, and most probably, without refl-etion — Mr. Seeley, who has had great experience in city eleo- tious, says the ordinary costs do not, ou an average, ex ceed £5000, and if it be assumed that they now amount- ed to three times as much, (4 sufficientiy liberal esti- mate, surely,) the baron’s outlay will have been conside- rably within tho lowest of the sums mentioned, the real expenditure perhaps not being balf as much. Be ft less or more, however. a great deal of it must have been de. voted to 4 tioat ojectionable and offensive purpose, of which Rothschild himevif, or those fit to be culled his friends, could have had no cognizance, aud which lost him several votes, to the knowledge of the writer.

The English Elections—The Character of the Next Parilament. (From a London letter in the Liverpool Albion.) On the results of the elections kuown up to five o'clock this evening in London, it may be computed with tolerable accuracy, that ministers have » majority of thirty, which is @ pretty good instalment of the vighty it was predicted they would have at the close of the contest. Tbat the said eighty will be at least one hundred and twenty there can be little doubt, and t1 composition of the strength will be even more valuably than its numerical potency. Against this government guin, however, is to be set off the loss of four members of tho admimistration—three very important oues, und one a subordinate, influential through bis counexions and position, Tho news of Sir John Hubhouse, Presi- dent of the Board of Control, bing helplossiy defeated at Nottingham, by Vourgus O'Connor, of all men in the world, astonished every body in London yeaterday very noarly as touch as it appears to have done the estimable people who achieved the exploit the day before. Yi terday also contributed {ts quota of home-made amazement, in the defeat of the Under Colonial Se- cretury, Mr. Hawes, at Lambeth, by Pwarson, the redoubtable City Solicitcr; and the defeat of General Fox, of the Ordnance, at the Tower Hamlets, by Mr. George Thompson, the eloquent lecturer of the League, Sut neither of these occurrences created soinuch surprise as the news received to-day of the rejection of Macaulay, Ly the citizens of Edinburgh. Two of these rejections are likely to be conclusive as regards the public career of tne parties affected. It is highly improbable that Hobhouse will, at this time of his iife, and after having tasted so largely of the favor of great constituencies, attempt to sneak into the house for some pocket borough, the more especially ax he is believed to be alike indifferent to the emoluments and the patronage of the office he holds, and to be anxious of an opporcunity of enjoying in his old age that literary leisure for which h. was #0 desirous in his youth. Au- other reason that may reconcile him to tae loss of Not- tingham, is the contemplated reconstruction of the ma- chinery for administering the affairs of India, both throagh his own an¢ every other department, and Sir Jobn has long bad « horror of all noveities that invoive exertion of mind or body on himself. Dalhoust.’s ap- pointment to the Eastern Viceroyalty is believed to por- tend a decided reformation in that quarter, necessitating a corresponding chat at home, to which Sir Jobn is mont decidedly, adverse, in so far as the experiment has to be tried in his ease-loving person. These Indian ap- pointments, by the way, seem to be wholly placed at the disposal of the Duke of Wellington. Ellenborough and Hardinge were sent out by him, and now out goes Dal- Smith is going to the Cape, being all part of one and the same arrangement in deference to the omnipotential F. M, But thisis netall. When the Marquis of T'weed- dale returns from Mudras be ioust be provided for, and what so convenient as the Bourd of Control, with its soug $3500 a year, so desirable to a poor Scoteh lord with a doten children? It is just the sort of offies that may be administered by a peer, and Hobhouse’s lors of his font in the Commons will render the transfer opro- pos, Tweeddaie, you are aware, has double claims on the take, both from his being wn old aid-de camp, wounded at Busuco, for Lhe which he of coursereceivess pension; and more particulaily from his being father of the duke’s daughter-in law, the Marchioness of Douro, and also of the Countess of Dalhousie~a very nice little fauily purty, to whom India would seem to belong in the natarui ordcr of things, where # cc mmander-in-chief is dispowed to xo regard them. Macaulvy’s defeat will also entail his taal vetirement from public life, according tu his own declara- uew Parliament as was expected. Up to the time of this b-ing written, there bas been no return from Hythe, and whether the Baron Mayer Amschel Rothschila has been as successful as his brother is uakuown; but from the account of the preliminary proceedings, the chances are that he has not, mid has been rejected, after hard contest, for Yarmouth; and Salomons, after a: equally arduous one, at Greenwich. But the Christian- ‘aed Hebrews, the Ricardos, the Bernals, and others, have suffered no diminution in their torial ho- nors. It omething for the elec! | honesty of the three coastituencies just named, that tho | wealth of the candidates did not ensure suc- cess, a¢ it undoubtediy would have done some few yoarsago, had the Hebrews been eligible to Parliament, ur thought to have been so then. Another proof, too, of the waning potency of capital and patronage against con- science, or rather against public opinion, is thy rejection of Mr. Charles Russell, chuiriaan of the Grent Western ding, and of Mr. W. Rickford Collett, chairman of the Chester and Holyhead, at Lincoln,each being the late member for the respective borough, and their re-election regarded as certain. The brother of Jollett (he who was called in Conciliation Hall late- ly,“‘as wooden headed and mutton headed a follow as any in the House of Commons,”’] has also retired from Athlone, where all his cash in hand, and all his subscrip- Ulons to the Repeal Association, and all his professions of fidelity to that fraternity, proved unavailing against the local conservative. Mr. W. R. Collett, who stands on particularly good terms with himself, way tind seme consolation for his rejection in the circumstauce of his being beaten in such excellent company as that of sir K. L. Balwer, over whom Sibthorpe avd the gooss in- terest of Lincoln once more triumphed, to the dis- grace, if they could be additionally disgraced, of all concerned in #0 ignominious a victory. Sir Edward’s loss is, «f course irreparabie, but it fs, in some slight degree mitigated by the return of another practical literary man and most useful member, Sergeant Tal fourd. The literature of politics also finds un ines- timable representative in the person of the veteran Colonel Thompson. How far his namesake the lecturer will, in his new capacity of member for the Tower Ham- lets, contribute to the Parliamentary reputation of his clnes is questionable ; and the same myy be anid of ano- ther lecturer, W. J. ‘ox, the member for Oldham. whose return is certainly not amongut;the least remark- ablo of the memorablila of the present eventful mo- mont. They will be an exception to all their tribe ifthe tribunitian qualifications that have #0 greatly distin- guished them out of doors, do not disqualify them for success in the common-place but exceedingiy fastidious arena of St. Stephen's. “[t would not be a very ru#h pre- diction to assert that Feargus O'Connor will prove a more matter of et, and, | more successful member of Parliament than either of those most eloquent speakers. Feargus has always had « vast deal more ability of a use- ful kind than he has ever yet got credit for. His re- bellion against O'Connell in bringing on the repeal ques- tion made shipwreck of his influence, which was at one time very considerable in Ireland, and his subsequent ex- ceases: (greatly exaggerated, by the way, through the public voice) in his zsdvooaby of the Five Pointe, dam- aged him infinitely among all except the working classes in this country. But upon those he hav undoubtedly retained @ large influenes; and his management ot the uffairy of the Chartiste,in their recent Uayh organise. tion, indicates business capabilities which it is only fitting should find an opportunity for development in that sphere to which all talents .or public life naturally converge. What with Fox, Thompson, O'Connor, and 3 few others of the same stamp, the operatives will be tolerably well represented, saying nothing of their still retaining their old and weil tried friends Wakley and Duocombe, who have been returned unopposeu for Finsbury as before, The Finsbury election has, however, been this year more conspicuous for the perso- nalities it has given rise to, than for any other feature connected with it, Duancombe’s absence from the hust- ings led to @ most unjustifiable expose of his private em- burrassments through a morning Journal that arually af tion at iast year’s olection.
