COBH – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 - COVE, commonly called the COVE of CORK, a sea-port, market, and post-town, partly in the parish of CLONMELL, but chiefly in that of TEMPLEROBIN, in the Great Island, barony of BARRY- MORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing 6996 inhabitants. By way of Passage, crossing the ferry it is only 93 miles (E.S.E.) from Cork; but overland, by way of Foaty it is 14 miles from that city, and 133 miles (S.W. by S.) from Dublin. It is sit uated on the north side of Cork harbour, in lat. 54 degrees 51’, and long. 8 degrees 18’ 45”. The progress of Cove has been very rapid. So recently as 1786 it was a small village, consisting of a few scattered houses inhabited by the tide-waiters and pilots of Cork, and some mis erable cabins occupied by fishermen; at present it is a large and hand some town, comprising nine large and several smaller streets. The great increase of its population principally arose from its convenient situation for the shipping in Cork harbour, in which, during the French war, 600 sail of merchant vessels have been at anchor at one time, and 400 sail have left the harbour under convoy in one day. These great fleets always lay immediately in front of the present town, and many of them within half a cable’s length of the shore. It has also been greatly benefited by the erection of Carlisle and Camden forts; martello towers on Great Island, Hawibowling, and Ringskiddy; and by the bomb-proof artillery barracks on Spike Island. In addition to this, Hawibowling was fortified and made the ordnance depot, and the Lords of the Admiralty made it the only naval victualling depot in Ire land; and Rocky island was excavated and made the chief gunpowder magazine for the southern part of the kingdom. It was also the place of embarkation for troops ordered on foreign service, and the station of an admiral. The great expenditure of money for these works, and for the supply of provisions and other requisities for the shipping in the harbour, caused many persons to settle here, and the number was increased by the visits of invalids and persons of fortune, who were attracted by the salubrity of its climate and the beauty of it’s situation in the finest harbour in Europe. Cove is built on the side of a clay-slate hill, on the south shore of Great Island, which rises from the water’s edge, and being very steep, the streets, which are parallel to the shore, rise tier above tier, and being backed by the high grounds of the island, present a very picturesque view from the entrance to the harbour. The principal streets are nearly level, and those that connect them wind so gradually as greatly to diminish the apparent steepness of their ascent. The houses in the main streets are mostly large and well built of stone, and many of them faced with slate; the streets are all wide, clean, well paved, and abundantly supplied with water from springs in the clay- slate. The principal market is on Saturday, but there is one held daily, which is abundandy supplied with fish, vegetables, meat, &c. A large and handsome market-house, consisting of a centre and wings, was erected by the late J. Smith Barry, Esq., in 1806: the centre is appropriated to the sale of fish and vegetables, the west wing to the storing and sale of potatoes, and the east wing is fitted up as shambles. The post is daily, and yielded to a revenue of £977 when the last return was made to parliament. There is a constabulary police barrack; and a chief coast-guard station, the head of the district, which includes Cove, Bal lycroneen, Poor Head, the lighthouse, East Ferry, Cork, Crosshaven, and Robert’s Cove. Petty sessions are held every week; and there is a small prison of two cells for the temporary confinement of offenders. Near the western entrance to the town is a large and handsome pier, erected in 1805, at a cost of £20,000, and connected with it are very capacious quays. Here is a building called the Boarding Station, occupied by tide-waiters and other custom-house officers of Cork.
The views round Cove are extremely beautiful. Beyond the harbour, on the east, are Rostellan, Castle-Mary; and the vale of Cloyne, with its ancient cathedral and round tower; to the south is the capa cious bay, with its numerous ships, noble entrance, lighthouse, and forts; on the west is Ringskiddy with its martello tower, Carrigaline with its noble estuary, and the broad entrance to the Lee; and on the north are the high lands of Great Island, which shelter the town of Cove in that direction. Near the town are several elegant mansions, marine villas, &c., which are more particularly noticed in the article on Great Island. The celebrated regatta of Cove takes place in July or August: the prizes are numerous and valuable, and many of the best yachts in Ireland, with some from England and Scotland, attend its cel ebration. Near the custom-house quay is a splendid edifice in the Ital ian style, built by the Yacht Club and occupied by its members during the regatta season. The parish church of the union of Clonmell and Templerobin is on an elevated site in the centre of the town: it is a large and elegant edifice, in the early English style of architecture, with stained glass windows, and was built in 1818, by aid of a loan of £2000 from the late Board of First Fruits. Near it is a R. C. chapel, which was enlarged in 1835. There is also a small place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. The parochial schools are large neat buildings, erected by subscription on land given by Lord Midleton, who is an occasional donor; they are under the Kildare-place Society, but are supported by subscription: a school-house is being built for it near the parochial schools; and a very large building for a national school is also in progress of erection, partly at the expense of the National Board, and partly by a bequest of £25 per annum left by W. Lynch, Esq., in 1831. There are a fever hospital and a dispensary, and a military bathing hospital for the province of Munster. There is a parochial alms-house for twelve poor Protestants, each of whom receives 2s. 6d. weekly from the Sunday collections in the church, with coal and clothing dur ing the winter, from a bequest of £100 by the late Miss Spratt. A Benevolent Society, and a loan fund for poor mechanics, have also been established.

GREAT ISLAND – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 - GREAT ISLAND, or BARRYMORE ISLAND, in the harbour of CORK, barony of BARRYMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing with the post-town of Cove, (which is described under its own head), 11,089 inhabitants. It was anciently called Ard Neimheidh, and is one of the first places mentioned in Irish history whose locality can be fixed with precision. A battle was fought here in 125 between Aengus, king of Ireland, and Niadh Nuaget, a tributary prince, in which the latter recovered the crown of Munster; and in the 12th century the island maintained its independence against the English for some time after they had acquired possession of Cork and the adjacent country. In 1329 it was the property of Lord Philip Hodnet, who resided at Clonmel, where he was besieged by the Barrys and Roches, and all his adherents put to death. The Barrys having obtained possession, it was called Barrymore Island. During the war of 1641, a party of Lord Castlehaven’s troops coming here to plunder, were attacked by Major Power with 30 horse and two companies of foot, and about 500 of them were slain. In 1666 it was described by the Earl of Orrery as very fertile, and a place of such consequence as, were he an enemy about to invade Ireland, to be the first he would endeavour to secure. Most of the islands and headlands in its neigh bourhood have since been strongly fortified.
It extends five miles from east to west, and two from north to south, comprising 221 gneeves, or 13,149 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £9758 per ann., and is most advantageously situated. To the south is the magnificent harbour of Cove; on the west is the deep channel, half a mile wide, which separates it from the mainland at Passage; on the north it is bounded by the noble estuary of the Lee, and on the east by a shallow channel which separates it from Foaty Island, over which is a lofty bridge, from the extremity of which branch two roads, one leading by way of Passage to Cove, the other crossing the island to the same port. The shores are generally bold, and the interior has a pleasing variety of hill and dale, watered by several small streams that flow into the Eastern Channel. It is com posed of clay-slate covered with a light productive soil, but intermin gled with fragments of the substratum: two-thirds are under tillage, and the remainder in pasture or included in demesnes. Two ferries afford communication between the island and the mainland, the west ern ferry to Passage, the eastern to Midleton. There is also a communication by land from Belvelly, where a stone bridge and causeway connect it with Foaty island, whence is another causeway communi cating with the mainland; a direct communication is thus opened by land with Cork. The beauty of its situation and salubrity of the climate have induced many genteel families to settle here. Among the principal seats are Marino, the residence of T. G. French, Esq.; Ballymore House, of J. H. Bennett, Esq.; Cuskinny of Savage T. W. French, Esq.; Eastgrove, of J. Bagwell, Esq.; Ballymore, of R. B. Shaw, Esq.; Ashgrove, of R. Frankland, sq.; Ballymore cottage, of W. J. Cop pinger, Esq.; Belgrove, of the Rev. G. Gumbleton; Whitepoint House, of H. H. O’Brien, Esq.; Spy Hill, of the Rev. T. L. Coghian; the Retreat, of Mrs. O’Grady; Merton, of R. Morrison, Esq.; East Hill, of Capt. Stubbs; Bellevue, of Dr. Crotty, R. C. Bishop of Cloyne; and Ballynoe House, of A. Hargreave, Esq. Besides these are many lodges and cottages ornée for the accommodation of visitors during the bathing season.
The island is divided into the Eastern and Western parishes, which together form the union of Clonmel, or Cove, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop. The Eastern parish, called also Templerobin, includes, in addition to the eastern part of Great Island, part of Foaty and the whole of Hawlbowling, Spike, and Rocky island (each of which is described under its own head); it is a rectory and vicarage, and the tithes amount to £323. The Western parish, called Clonmel, besides the western part of the island, includes the remaining portion of Foaty island; it is a vicarage, and was anciently called Templeyra, from having belonged to the Knights Templars; the entire tithes amount to £276. 18. 5 of which two-thirds are payable to the lessee of the economy estate of the cathedral of Cloyne, and one-third to the vicar: the tithes of the benefice amount to £415. 7. 8. A third parish was erected in 1762, by the Rev. Downes. Conron, the incumbent, on a dispute between him and the Dean and Chapter of Cloyne relative to tithes; but a compromise was effected and the incumbent has to pay £100 annually to the economy estate. There is no tradition of Kilgarvan as a parish, and it is mentioned only in one of the county records; but 20 acres of arable land in Kilgarvan, with their tithes, &c., were granted by patent to Sir Richard Boyle, Knt., in 1605. The glebe-house is about to be rebuilt; there is a glebe of 18 acres belonging to the incumbent, and one of 30 acres belong mg to the economy estate. The church, which is in Cove, is a large and handsome edifice. In the R. C. divisions the island forms the district of Cove, and has a chapel in that town, and one at Funnah. There is also a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. There are four pub lic schools, in which about 380, and eleven private schools in which about 370, children are educated; also a Sunday school, supported by the curates: most of them are in or near Cove. The most interesting relics of antiquity are the remains of Belvelly castle, built by one of the Hodnets, formerly a potent family, and of Templerobin and Clonmel churches; within the walls of the latter are interred Tobin, the author of the “Honeymoon” and other dramatic productions; and the Rev. C. Wolfe, who wrote the ballad “Not a drum was heard,” on the death of Gen. Sir John Moore.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
(CE 5/6/1843) - COVE - ARRIVAL OF WAR STEAMERS - The arrival of the war steamer Cyclops, Captain AUSTIN, CB, commander, with 400 marines, and an immense quantity of ammunition, in the habour of Cove on Saturday, was hailed by the inhabitants of that, hitherto, almost deserted town, with lively manifestations of gladness and joy. The Cyclops steamed in at an early hour, and anchored uder Haulbowline. In the course of the day several applications were made by parties anxious to go on board - but, strange to say, they were rejected; orders, it appears, having been given to the contrary. We have heard the officers and men were so much under the apprehension that they were in 'an enemy's river,' that one of them actually asked an applicant for admission, where the disturbances were, which they had been ordered over in such precipate haste to quell! The answer may be anticpated. Yesterday crowds were attracted to see the Cyclops, but no person could get on board. The gallant captain and some of the officers and men were ashore during the day and must have been surprised if they were not delighted with the warm and light light-hearted enthusiams and hilarity of the thousands who crowded Cove, to petition for Repeal; and if they could bear and understand many of the quaint and humourous observations and jokes cracked by the country folk, they would learn that they were not in an enemy country at least. They were circulating money in abundance in Cove, and the inhabitants, as we stated above, are giving them a cordial and truly Irish welcome. This morning the people of Cove were further delighted by the appearance of the Steam troop-ships Rhadamanthus, Master-Commander Thomas Laen, and Alban, with strong detachments of Marines on board, steaming in, and casting anchor near Haulbowline. The Monkey, a small steamer, Second Master Wm. Bryant, with a quantity of Stores from the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, arrived with them. The Cove people never were in such excellent spirits. They petitioned 'many a time and oft,' for the indulgence of a ship of War - but now they have more than they ever imagined they should obtain, our excellent and paternal rulers, anxious, no doubt to illustrate the old adage 'when it rains it pours.' Cove is expected to be unusually gay during the stay of these War Vessels, which it is hoped, will remain a considerable time in this station.
The Globe Lane Society, which had a Steamer engaged during yesterday, passed the Cylclops in the evening on their return to Cork, and cheered the Marines and Sailors, who responded to the welcome with hearty and long continued cheering. This is as it ought to be.

(CC 18/3/1845) - THE TEMPERANCE BAND OF COVE – To the Editor of the Cork Constitution – Dear Sir – The ‘rascally Band' of this place has established for itself, in a pre-eminent degree. That very just cognomen not long ago applied to it, as to all of them, by that acknowledged critic, Mr. Danl. O Connell. - On Sunday last at midnight, under the pretence of ushering in Patrick's Day, this aforesaid 'rascally Band' took occasion to parade the streets of Cove, high up and low down, along and across and about, fifing and drumming as if the Devil was in their two sticks, to the very great annoyance of a whole community, and under the ears and noses of all of the peace keeping Magistrates and easy Police of the town. - Now, Sir, when you come to consider the vast number of invalids residing here, under every form and gradation of disease, to many of whom the breaking of a night's sleep in such a way is as the driving of a nail into their coffins; and, when I also inform you that there were some keeping watch over the very dead, who had to listen in their sorrow to these national pipers actually under their windows, you will, I think, agree with me that Mr. O Connell did rightly designate these creations of the Tea-drinking Padre, the 'rascall, rascally Bands!' - But theres no use in mincing matters, and I say 'tis the Magistrates who are manily chargeable with the nuisance - and subordinates may in part be excused when they know there is a decided taste for music on the Bench! - I am, Sir - A COVE INVALID.
(CE 10/9/1845) - IRISHMEN IN THE FLEET AT COVE - TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER - Cork Harbour, Sept. 9, 1845 - SIR - You will very much oblige me if you insert the following in your very valuable journal:- There are great numbers of us belonging to the different ships now in Cove, that are natives of the different little towns abour the harbour, and we cannot get leave to go on shore to see our friends. When we were in England, Englishmen got plenty of leave on shore, and when the ships that fitted out at Plymouth went to Portsmouth, those persons that belonged to Portsmouth got plenty of leave on shore; in fact went every night at supper time; and now that, by chance almost, we had a run into Cove, we that live here cannot go to see our old fathers and mothers - perchance we may never see them again. - Can it be possible that our admiral, Sir Hyde Parker, thinks that we Irish are not possessed of as fine feelings as Englishmen? Officers can go - those that have got no relations here whatever. Even the boy midshipmen can go where they please; but we, common fellows, men before the mast, must not even look through the ports at our friends. Is this English justice? Is this English equality? Irishmen have always shed their blood as freely as Englishmen, and I am sure that if a war occurred to-morrow, Sir Hyde would be very sorry to dispense with our services. - A FOREMAST MAN

Clarence Place, Cove, Nov. 18, 1845 - Dear Sir - You have more than once commended the patriotic zeal of the good people of Cove and the Great Island. When you bear in mind the short space of time which has intervened between this and last Sunday, the day fixed for the collection of the 'Tribute;' the apprehensions which pervade all classes, by reason of the calamitous failure of the potato crop, and the many calls upon the benevolence of the always generous people of this town, you will duly estimate their promptitude and energy upon the present occasion. - The large sum of Ninety-five Pounds Ten Shillings, which I have the pleasure of forwarding to you, will, I trust, prove we have not been unmindful of the exhortation contained in your circular of the 10th inst., viz - 'that our patriotic exertions be directed towards making it (O Connell Annunity) worthy of the cause, the country and the Liberator.' - I have the honour to be, dear Sir, yours very faithfully, - P. D. O Regan

SLATER'S 1846 DIRECTORY - COVE - OR Cove of Cork, is a sea-port, in the parishes of Clonmel and Templerobin, barony of Barrymore, county of Cork, 10 miles ESE from the city of Cork; situated on the south side of Great island, the extent of which is five miles from east to west, and two from north to south, communicating with the mainland by two ferries - East and West Passage. This charmingly situated town overlooks and almost literally overhangs the spacious basin of Inner Cork Harbour, and occupies the steep and southern face of a hill, rising terrace above terrace, from near the edge of the water, to a considerable height in the acclivity. The principal streets are wide and commodious, and the houses regularly built. Within the last thirty years, the town has greatly increased in dimensions, population, and importance, and there are now some excellent houses building on the property of Smith Barry Esq. calculated for the accommodation of the most respectable families. An interesting work on Ireland and its towns speaks of Cove, 'Previous to the North American war of Independence, Cove consisted of little more than the mud cabins of a few fishermen.' In 1750, Doctor Smith described it as 'a village built over a steep hill inhabited by seamen and revenue officers.' In 1752, John Wesley recorded that 'there was nothing to be bought there - neither fish nor flesh, nor butter, nor cheese, and that he was obliged to be well contented with some eggs and bread.' In 1769, it is said there was not a baker's shop in the place, and even so late as 1797, it was characterized by Mr. Holmes, the tourist, as 'a wretched, dirty place, inhabited chiefly by sailors and fishermen.' How great the contrast at the present day! It now boasts handsome ranges of houses, well stored shops, elegant hotels, convenient lodging-houses, and intelligent population, and above all, an active trade. Provisions of nearly all kinds are cheap, and articles of a more luxurious kind are obtained with facility from Cork - with which a communication is constantly maintained by steam vessels. The work above referred to says, 'The weekly exhibitions of the yacht club (which we shall have occasion to notice more particularly hereafter), 'the annual regatta, the occasional arrival of the fleet, the magnificence of the circumjacent scenery, and the picturesqueness of the town itself, attract great crowds of gay visitors during the summer; and the salubrity of the climate, the comparative equality of the temperature, the dryness of the air, and even the power of fame and fashion bring hither not a small number of consumptive patients and other classes of invalids.' Indeed the climate has been found by comparison to be more equable and mild than that of any part of England or France, and the equal that of the south of Europe, even Rome and Naples.
Cove is admirably situated and suited for the scene of extensive commerce. The harbour is formed on one side by Great Island, and on the other by the mainland and Spike Island, which form an oval basin sufficiently capacious to contain and shelter the whole navy of England, protected by a formidable battery on Spike Island, and the entrance further defended by the Carlisle and Camden forts, which frown from the summit of two lofty cliffs on either side. Lord Midleton, one of the proprietors of the lands, is about to expend a large sum in the construction of a quay, the whole length of White-point, which, when completed, will form one of the most extensive and lovely esplanades in Ireland. Other additions and improvements are projected by this spirited nobleman, in terraces, handsome houses, baths, an hotel, and a new church. The banks on each side of the harbour are occupied by seats and tasteful grounds of the gentry, or the opulent merchants of Cork. The trade of Cove, exclusive of a good retail business, consists of exports and imports - the latter comprising timber, coal, guano, and various goods; among the former a large quantity of stores for the army and navy. It is the great port for the embarkation of troops to Canada and the Colonies, and also the great southern station for government emigration, for which latter purpose there is an efficient agent stationed here. There are four principal hotels, all which are admirably conducted in their arrangements for families or commercial gentlemen; their names and location appear in the directory. Opposite the Market-place is the handsome promenade called the Columbine-quay, built at a great expense by the late James Smith Barry Esq., the use of which is enjoyed by the Royal Cork Yacht Club, at their annual regatta - the gayest and best supported of any display of the kind in Ireland; the prizes are often large and contended for with great emulation and spirit. In the centre of the beach is the Yacht Club House, for the accommodation of the numerous and respectable members, who meet once a week during the summer season, the fleet then generally going to se for some hours under the command of the 'Admiral of the day.' This club, which is of greater antiquity than any other in England or Ireland, was founded in 1720, under the title of the 'Cork Harbour Water Club,' of which an account was published in 1765. It changed its name to the Cork Yacht Club in 1828, and, under the patronage of William IV, became the Royal Cork Yacht Club in 1830. It is governed by a president and admiral, the Most Noble the Marquess of Thomond; vice-admiral, Jas. Hugh Smith Barry, Esq., and a general committee, which consists of the leading members and yacht owners, and a house committee, who manage the internal arrangements of the club-house; there are also an honorary chaplain, a treasurer, and a secretary. The government of the town is chiefly vested in the local magistrates; and the Cork Harbour Board have likewise a certain jurisdiction; petty sessions are held every fortnight. There are stations of the constabulary police and coast guard, the latter under an inspecting commander always resident, having the charge of seven districts in and about the harbour.
The church of the united parishes of Clonmel and Templerobin is a handsome structure, but not sufficiently capacious for the congregation, which is rapidly increasing. The Roman Catholic chapel is large, with a handsome tower and belfry; there is also a second chapel at Fennah. The other places of worship are for Wesleyan Methodists and Presbyterians. The principal benevolent institutions comprise the schools under the national board, parochial and for infants; a fever hospital, a dispensary, and parochial almshouse. There are also loan and charitable coal funds, and a benevolent society for poor tradesmen. Somewhat to the east of Cove is a fine fort, over which is the military hospital, formerly the barracks. In a cemetery, surrounding the ruins of Clonmel Church, a short distance from Cove, lie the remains of Tobin, the author of the Honey Moon, and Woolfe, the author of the pathetic and beautiful verses upon the death of Sit John Moore - they sleep together, and were alike unconscious of their fame - it being, in both cases, posthumous. There is no fair at Cove; but a daily market, for fish, vegetables and various commodities, is held at the market-house, a convenient and handsome building, erected by the late J. Smith Barry, Esq. The market, especially on Saturday, is abundantly supplied. The parishes of Clonmel and Templerobin contained together by the census taken in 1841, 9,955 inhabitants, and the town of Cove, 4,142 of that number.

(CE 2/3/1846) - SHIP NEWS - COVE OF CORK
Feb. 27 - Wind S - Arrived - None - Sailed - Osprey Steamer
Feb. 28 - Wind SW - Arrived - Placid, Turnbull, Odessa, wheat; Sir Chas. Carr, Hart, Truxillo, mahogany - Sailed - Nimrod Steamer
Mar. 1 - Wind S - Arrived - Wilhelmina, Lawson, Callao guano; Ocean Steamer; Kate Kearney, Driscoll, Jamica, sugar; Flor, Barens, Liverpool, gen. Cargo; Girl I Love, Sutton, Newport, coals. - No sailings. - The Kate Kearney grounded, at high water, on the bank near Haulbowline. It is expected she must discharge before she can get off, as the tides are cutting off. - The Sir Charles Carr, which arrived here on Saturday from Truxillo, picked up the master and four men, being the crew of the schooner 'Harmony,' of and from Halifax, and bound to Demerara - they abandoned the Harmony at sea in a sinking state.
(CC 4/7/1846) - RETURN OF THE SQUADRON - The men-of-war comprising the Squadron of Evolution, returned into Cove yesterday, after a cruise of twenty-two days. H.M. steamer Scourge, Capt. Caffin, 2 guns, came into harbour on Tuesday. The vessels which arrived yesterday were the St. Vincent, Queen, Canopus (this vessel joined since they left Cove), Rodney, Vanguard, Superb, Brilliant and Raleigh. At the time our report left Cove, H.M. steamers Terrible, Retribution and Gladiator were outside. The Kestrel yacht, 360 tons burden, belonging to the Earl of Yarborough, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, arrived with the fleet.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
(CE 10/3/1847) - DESTITUTE EMIGRANTS - The ship Medemseh, from Liverpool, and bound to New York, which lately put into this port for repairs, now lies at Cove, having on board a large number of emigrants chiefly of the lowest order, in the most destitute and debilitated condition. They are almost totally unprovided with clothing, without sufficient provisions, having consumed a great part of their scanty store while out, and scarcely with strength remaining to leave the hold. It reflects disgrace upon the regulations of the Government that creatures in this condition should be suffered to proceed to sea, with no other dependence against a long and enfeebling voyage than the kindness of persons whose treatment of their passengers, on an average, is hardly less brutal than that experienced from the masters of slave-ships. - No harm, in this instance, could arise from the Government giving relief, in a disaster, which to the poor emigrants, was entirely unforeseen; and they have an agent in the port, charged with the special duty of protecting the interests of this deserving, but much abused, and unfriended class. And yet, some time ago, when the sympathy of that officer was excited for a case of similar distress, he was left to beg a subscription of the inhabitants of this city, to help a number of disabled emigrants to their destination.
(CE 19/3/1847) DESTITUTION IN COVE - THE acute distress which exists in this town, is aggravated, in a degree unprecedented, by the want of habitations, for the multitude of poor, attracted there from the country, by the chances for obtaining a subsistence at a watering place much frequented, as well as by the generous conduct of the townspeople, who are able, in relieving destitution. Rooms and other small tenements are so dreadfully crowded, that life in them is merely fuel for disease, which consequently rages unchecked amongst the lower inhabitants. But the extent of the privation, which the poor endure from the want of shelter, may be judged best from the following fact. - On one of the quays, where a soup kitchen is established, are to be seen some water casks, or large hogsheads, lying on the side with the head out; and each of these throughout the day contains its quota of human beings. Some of the creatures take up a temporary residence in this novel kind of tenement, only waiting to drink the soup which they receive, and then leaving it. Others, however, it appears, find the cask their sole refuge, not quitting it even during the night, except, perhaps to straighten their limbs. In several hogsheads, four or five children, with their mother, are thus lodged, wedged and packed together, the young tenants half suffocated and struggling and fighting in their prison.
(CE 26/5/1847) COVE PETTY SESSIONS - A NAVAL COMMANDER OF THE OLD SCHOOL - A sailor named Gray, of her Majesty's ship, Cockatrice, now lying in harbour, was brought up in custody on a charge of assaulting a Sub-Constable of Police, whilst in the discharge of his duty. - The Constable having been sworn, deposed that the prisoner, whilst in a state of intoxication, had assaulted him by striking him in the face, on the previous evening, when on guard at the Police Station. - Captain Tucker, of Her Majesty's ship Cockatrice, who had been accommodated with a seat on the Bench, gave the prisoner a most favourable character, both for temperance and general good conduct; and stated also, that Gray had, since he joined the ship in January last, given directions that his mother should draw half his pay. - Mr. Holmes, after having consulted some short time with his brother Magistrates, stated that the assault had been proved, and that they had come to the decision of fining him 10s., including costs, or, in default, of sentencing him to 14 days' imprisonment. - Dr. Millett next read a lengthened lecture to Gray on the enormity of his offence, which, the learned gentleman stated, tended from the position of the prisoner, a sailor of her Majesty's service, to the subversion of all order, by the breach of the peace on a peace officer. - Captain Tucker, after having heard the decision of the Court, said 'By G-d, if you do the like again, Gray, I will give you four dozen (sensation). - The Gallant gentleman, after delivering himself of this humane sentence, remained silent for some time, during which the Bench looked their surprise, but did not observe on the indecent exhibition of a person, holding her Majesty's Commission, thus misconduting himself in a Court of Justice; but at length he remarked, that Gray, as he had got into the scrape should only get out of it the best way he could. - The Bench observed that the Prisoner, if the Captain would not pay the fine, should remain in custody of the police until it was done. - Captain Tucker – retiring – ‘If I had only made over a warrant, and got it signed by the Admiral, Gray, you should have got four dozen before breakfast, my lad.' - Subsequently, the fine was paid and Gray discharged.

(CC 29/2/1848) - CREW OF H. M. S. AVENGER - A subscription for the distressed Widows and Orphans of the unfortunate Crew of H. M. late Steam Frigate Avenger, is being made at the Cove of Cork and its vicinity, and all persons who are generously disposed to contribute thereto, are invited to lodge the amount and transmit their names and addresses to the Rear Admiral Commanding on the Station. - Amount received - Admiral the Hon. Donald H. Mackay, £3; Fred Cleeve, Esq., Sec., £1; Charles Dyke, Esq., Flag Lieutenant, £1. - Officers and Crew of H. M. Ships Madagascar, Andromeda, Rhadamthus, Avon, one day's pay.
(CE 22/5/1848) - SUDDEN DEATH - Yesterday morning, a pensioner named CONWAY, residing in Cove, was suddenly seized with a violent fit of laughing, and in a few seconds subsequently ceased to live.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
QUEENSTOWN- HENRY & COGHLAN'S DIRECTORY 1867 - Queenstown was originally known as Cove; but upon the occasion of the visit of Her Majesty to the port, in 1849, it assumed the former designation. It is distant about 14 miles from Cork, and may be reached by any of the three different modes of conveyance; namely, the direct line of railway which has been lately constructed; the Cork and Passage line, whose boats run in connection with the train, throughout the day; and the River Steamers' Co.'s boats, which ply at stated intervals, according to the season.
Summer tourists and pleasure-seekers like the latter route; but, of course, people of business, requiring speed, prefer the two former.
A distinguished author, writing of the town, some seventy odd years since, curtly disposes of it in these terms: - 'The village of Cove is a small dirty place, principally inhabited by seamen and revenue officers' - a sufficiently uninviting picture, no doubt, but the truth of which, we fear, we cannot gainsay.
A little after the opening of the present century, however, the place began to assume an appearance of some consequence, and, from a petty village, gradually swelled to the proportions of a goodly sized town; but the buildings by which it was graced possessed few or no features of architectural elegance, until within a few years ago, when the eminent merchants, Messrs. James Scott & Co., by erecting the splendid range of edifices known as Westbourne place and Scott's' Square, besides several handsome terraces to the rere, produced a 'West End' of which any town might justly be proud. Others, following the example thus spiritedly set by these gentlemen, have built some handsome streets, terraces, and detached residences, which contribute alike to the beauty and importance of the town.
Queenstown has nothing of special interest to recommend it, in a historical point of view; but to atone for this, it possess scenic grandeur, which, to use a transatlantic form of phraseology, ' might challenge all creation.' Seen from the sea, its terraced slopes have a peculiarly picturesque aspect, which has suggested to travellers its striking resemblance to Algiers, of the exactness of which we are not competent to judge, never having seen the famous Arab city; but we certainly think it has something to boast of, if it can afford to bear comparison with the subject of our sketch.
The town owes its rise and actual status to its unsurpassed maritime position, the harbour, as the most eminent authorities have stated, being one of the best in the world; or as a country schoolmaster, who was somewhat of a purist in language, once remarked, that it was the finest 'waterscape' he had ever seen. The channel, by which the harbour is entered, is two miles long, and one mile broad, and is defended by batteries on each side, and by others in the interior. The trade of Queenstown, exclusive of a good retail business consists of exports and imports - the latter comprising timber, coal, guano, and various goods; among the former, a large quantity of stores for the army and navy.
Petty Sessions are held every Monday. There is no fair, but a daily market for fish, vegetables, &c., is held in the market house.
After a great deal of agitation, the Government have at length consented to construct a dock and basin here, which will, no doubt, be of immense benefit to the working classes. The town is well lit with gas, and supplied with water by local companies. Its affairs are administered by a body of Town Commissioners. Here are national schools, a public hospital, and some handsome churches. Population in 1861, 9,326.
