| A STREET IN QUEENSTOWN, CO. CORK.-When the flunkey corporation of the Cove of Cork changed the ancient designation of that picturesque place to Queenstown, in 1849, merely became the female ruler of England paid it a passing visit, the deposed officers proved the truth of the Prisoner of Chillon's statement: "My very chains and I grew friends; to such a long communion tends." Queen Victoria carried nothing of value into the picturesque Cove but took away its good name, which did not enrich her, but made the despoiled town poor indeed. |
