There are various almshouscs and charities, the principal being the Corporation, Lapp's, Skiddv's, and lit rtild^o's charities, besides two houses of female refuge, Protestant Orphan Society, Masonic Female and St. Patrick's Orphan asylums, with various parochial almshouscs and asylums for aged people. Near the city is a cemetery, after the plan of Pere La Chaise, in Paris, on the site of the old botanical gardens. The graves are distributed over tin greater part, amid the shrubs, plants, and Ho were, brought hither at a very great expense by the original proprietors. The ground is intersected by broad gravel walks, and are several handsome monument- l! ;- pur- chased in 1826 fur this purpose by Father Mat! i who established his first total abstinence society in ' (.n the 10th April, 1838. Another favourite promenade is tip _M.n.! l.i>. a fine raised walk a mile long, on the W. of the r i 1 1 -d by a noble avenue of elms. A park has also been lately enclosed, containing about 240 acres, extending from the Victoria-road along the 8. bank of the river to Blackrock. There are nine bridges over the river Lee and its branches, several of which are modern and elegant structures. St. Patrick's bridge, the last over the northern branch, and to which vessels sail up, was rebuilt in 1861, the former structure having been swept away by the great flood in 1853. It is now one of the finest bridges in Ireland, and connects the noble range of quays which lino both sides of the river. Nurth bridge, over the same branch of the river, was taki-n down in 1863, and is to bo replaced by an iron bridge on stone piers. Wellington bridge, at the western extremity of tin- city, is a noble structure of hewn stone, erected from designs by Richard Griffiths ; it consists of a centre arch of 50 feet span, and two side ai <>f 4-5 feet, with solid parapets. Anglesea bridge, er in 1830, is a handsome structure of hewn limed consisting of two elliptical arches 44 feet span, with parapets of cast-iron, and two parallel drawbridges, which arc raised to admit vessels above it ; the expense waa defrayed by the commissioners of the new corn market, who voted 9,000 for this purpose. The other bridges are small structures, several being only of one arch. Several newspapers are published in Cork, tin- principal being the Cork Conttitution, Cork Southern Reporter.
