The apartments appropriated to the School of Design form a portion of the premises of the Cork Institution. In 1848, the upper part of that building having undergone alterations and improvements, the school was accordingly opened und several pupils received. A few years since the collection of casts already mentioned were removed from the cheerless and mouldy room in which they had been entombed for years, to the more airy apartments in which they are placed at present, where, freed from the dust and mould contracted in their former quarters, they now appear in somewhat of their pristine beauty.

Cork has a place in the story of art education in Ireland. In 1848, the upper part of the Cork Institution building underwent alterations and improvements, and the School of Design was opened, with several pupils received. A collection of Vatican casts, which had been entombed for years in a cheerless and mouldy room, was removed to more airy apartments. Freed from the dust and mould of their former quarters, they appeared once more in something of their pristine beauty. Among them were celebrated works, the Apollo Belvedere and the Laocoon group. The writer of the time felt the people of Cork did not sufficiently appreciate the value of these casts, these what he called godlike forms, as they shone out in the softened light upon the enraptured vision.

The river Lee runs through the city, and the bridges here have had their troubles. Patrick's Bridge was destroyed by a disastrous flood in November 1853. A temporary wooden bridge stands near it now, waiting to be replaced by a stone bridge of three arches, estimated at about £18,000. Professor Hennessy, late of the Queen's College, proved that the bridges on the North channel were the principal cause of floods in the flat of the city. It was resolved to remove North Gate Bridge and replace it with a one-arched bridge. The quays themselves later faced trouble of a different kind.

The estuary is enclosed by hills clothed from summit to base with magnificent trees, and the river winds in its course, forming a number of apparently land-locked lakes, presenting the appearance of a miniature Rhine. On its banks sit the fine demesnes of Coolmore and Hoddersfield, the favourite resorts of picnic parties from the city. The once impregnable Castle of Carrigaline rose on an elevation near the village, but not a vestige of it remains. Only Aghamarta's ruins endure along the river's edge.

The road brings you near Whitegate, a village in Cork. A short distance from Aghada, Whitegate sits on the edge of a bay formed by a semi-circular sweep of the shore. The village faces the wood-robed headland of Curraghbinny, which stands at the mouth of the Carrigaline river, the final tributary of the Lee. Beyond the village's bay lies the fishing hamlet of Crosshaven, set at the entrance to the river. The shore curves round, the headland rises opposite, and between them the water lies in a broad half-moon. Whitegate looks out across this toward the wooded point, the last river feeding the Lee emptying into the bay. The description calls it a neat village, and the setting gives the reason: the sheltered bay, the green headland across the water, the fishing boats of Crosshaven at the mouth. The place is seen from the road as a village held between shore and headland.

* Dr. Molyneux mentions a round tower as having been discovered by the Danes, in Cork, in the ninth century. In making tnis assertion — for which, we presume, he had reliable authority — the doctor unwittingly contradicts himself, being, in common with Dr. Ledw'ich, John Lynch, and Peter Walshe, an advocate of the Danish origin of the round towers. The one referred to stood close to the (Jathedral of St. Finubar. It was injured .during the siege of 16f)0, and existed until about the middle of the last century. Dr. Petrie conjectures the date of its erection t<> have been coeval with that of the Cathedral.
