have we not a higher hope ? and shall its sacred light
dimmed with vain, desponding tears, in sorrow's faithless

ature's direst grief, we dauntlessly may brave,
Firm in our confidence in Him who bath subdued the grave !

To Him we owe each happy hour of sweet communion here,
'T is He hath blest our pilgrimage with love so trne—so dear—
Then shrink we not to feel and own our cheriah'd bliss is frail,
His hand that gave, alone reclaims, and wherefore should we
quail ?

Upon the deep cold stream of death, they well may fear to

not to the brighter land beyond its gloomy brink,
rk boundary of time for us should dreadless be,-
uch as ours, dear friend,—is for eternity !

STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER, APRIL 27.—The report of the market
---, repetition of what has been said for several
There was the same general absence of demand;
little business done, was generally at rates a shade
a than those of last week. Indeed, notwithstanding the
.dvance which has taken place in cotton, the prices of many
descriptions, both of yarns and goods, are now fully as low
as in the month of December last. Of course, under these
^umstances, the working of short time is gradually ex-
o ; and, we learn, from good authority, that an agree-
-nt has been entered into, by a great majority of the spin-
ners at Ashton, Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Hyde, Mossley, and
the neighbourhood, to reduce their hours of working to eight
per day (or four days per week), to commence from Monday
next. If this argument is carried into effect, of which we
entertain no doubt, it will make a very great difference in the
nount of goods and yarn brought to market, and probably
no inconsiderable effect on the cotton market.—
Since the above was written, we have learned, that the ex-
ample of the spinners of Ashton and the neighbourhood will
be followed by those of Burnley, Blackburn, and one or two
)they places. Indeed, from what we hear upon the subject,
'e are inclined to think, that the working of short time is
'^ to be more general in this district than at any former

A market. Little business is doing, and there is a

willingness to sell at former prices.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 27.—There was nothing
new to report of this market to-day. A general flatness and
uncertainty prevailed, consequently sales in nearly all de-
scriptions of goods were very limited. Wools, too, were
heavy, it being difficult to realize cost price. In short, there
is a general flatness, both in the Cloth-hall and warehouses,
but prices in new goods are fully maintained.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER.—This estimable
prelate died at Worcester at about half-past nine on Saturday
eight. The right rev. lord (Dr. James Robert Carr) was
7.onsecrated bishop in 1824, and translated in 1831, and has
.eft behind him a character for sincere piety and the most
amiable personal qualities.

MEETING OF CONSERVATIVES.—One of the most nu-
erous, important, and unanimous meetings ofConserva-

....ers of the House of Commons assembled at the
evidence of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall Gardens, on
Monday, at twelve o'clock. Nearly every Conservative
member was present. All the propositions of the right
hon. baronet were cordially responded to. Sir Robert,
after stating his objections to Lord Morpeth's measure,
said he did not wish their opposition to be confined to the
details of the measure, whether they should consent to an
clause, but at once take their stand upon an ob-
,,ion to the principle of the measure. The right hon. baronet

as an early division might be expected, said he
