STILL LATER.

From the Nep-York Gazette, May 1871
We have been favoured with Glas-
gov papers to the 10th Of April, re-
ceived by the ROBERT Fulton, Capt.
Briton, which contain London dates to
the evening of the 10th. They do not
however furnish any thing of moment.
A London price current of the 18th
states the sales of Cotton during the
last week at 1850 bags, at prices / per
ID higher on Surats, on Penams, and
to Il on Egyptians and Demel aras.
In other articles there were no trans
actions of any note.
The Glasgow Cotton Market was
dull and sales nominal. The sales for
the. week ending the 10th amounted to
1870 bales.
The London papers of the 18th
speak Of a general stagnation in the
money market. The alledged Con-
gress at Milan was still talked Of, and
had some influence over the transac-
tons in the Funds. Consols were
81 3-S J.
Letters had been received in London
confirming the death of Captain ]. n.
Gorden, Of the Navy, who had under
taken to ascend the Nile, and penetrate
to the Springs of Bahr ell Abiad. He
had reached the Villet Medinet, one
days journey from Senaar.
A letter from Glasgow of the Goth
ult says. eve have dates from Liver
pool to the evening Of the 18th, which
state that 10000 bales were sold on
that day, at an advance for Americans
on the quotations of the 10th Of { per

The extensive woollen and worsted
mill, owned by Messrs. Abram, Rhodes
& Co. near Manchester, was greatly
injured by fire on the evening of the
Sd of April-the damage was estima-
ted at about $4,000. Most Of the
goods and materials in the buildings
were saved,

GRIEF.

Among the affiuent, there is some
times luxury of grief, which is alto
gether unknown TO the poor. There is
such thing as pampered sorrow, which
the heart cherishes without being a.
ware of its own selfish enjoyment In
dolent, perhaps, and called to the dis
charge of no duties, the mourners give
themselves up to the indulgence of feel
ings, which are known to be natural,
and which they conceive of as amiable,
till the remembrance of the loss sustain
ed becomes evidently fainter and faint
err, in a mind still surrounded by the
comforts and blessings of life; aud at
last, the afflicted return to their usual
avocations, without having undergone
much real, or soul-searching and heart
humbling distress. But in the abodes of
poverty, there is no room, no leisure
for such indulgence. On the very day
that death smites dear object, the liv-
ing are called. by necessity, not to lie
down and weep, but to rise up and
work. The daily meal must be set out
by their own hands, although there is in
the house one cold mouth to be fed no
more and 10 the midst of occupations
needful for them who survive, must
preparations be made for returning de-
Gently dust to dust. This is real sorrow
and suffering; but although sharp, the
soul is framed TO sustain it.: and signing
and sobbing, weeping and wailing, groans
- IN lvilfnI inpiety. outCries to a
cruel Heaven, and the deliTiouls 't Iear ri @
OF hair-these are not the shows ~I
grief, which nature exhibits on the
earthem floors, and beneath the smoky
rafters of the houses of the poor. The
great and eternal law of death is exc
cuted there in an awful silence and
the survivors go, each his way, upon
his own special duty, which is marked
out TO him, and which he must perform,
or perhaps he and the family utterly
perish.
Under such circumstances, the dis
charge of duty is painful indeed; but it
is also consoling. If the heart then
knoweth it lis own bitterness, so know
eth it also the sweet infusion of resign
ed faith. If the father of the house die,
The fire must still be lighted; the floor
swept, the board spread; the cradle
rocked that holds one, since morn, an
orphan. Not otherwise will God feed
the poor. But the hand is connected
with the heart; and both must exert
themselves TO procgre peace.

and these are insipid, compared with
those of the U. States. We have not
seen dozen orchards in the whole Of
our route. The few apple trees discov-
cradle along the road are dwarfsh, and
the fruit equally small and stinted in its
growth. New-York pippins are spok-
en- OF in terms of admiration by those
who have tasted them, They are very
frequently brought TO the principal cit
les in Ireland. Our cherries are as
much superior in size aud flavor, as our
apples; and the peach will not grow
here at all. The traveller is struck
with the scantiness of the fare at the
lnns, compared with the profusion of our
hotels. Nothing is placed before him.
but what is expressly ordered, and
dozen little articles are not thought Of.
until the knife and fork are extended
to take them. The necessity of max
ing ones tea is awkward enough. We
are not very well versed in Madam
Glass and our tea has on some occasions
been strange kind of beverage. Ex-
peTience has, however, taught us to
measure the quantity with tolerable ac-
curacy.
Kildare is one of the most celebrated
places upon this route. The name sig
nities the GOOD Of oaks. 1t was so called
from being originally surrounded by an
immense forest of this timber. In the
centre of the woods was large plain,
now called the Curragh of Kildare, once
sacred TO heathenish superstition. ST.
Bridgid, natural daughter of an Irish
chieftain, after her conversion TO Chris
tianity, here founded nunnery, as early
as the 9Th century.
The Curragh Of Kildare is TOW a
common, across which the road passes.
II IS one OF the most extensive and beau
tlful in the world, containing about FIVE
thousand acres. 1t is perfectly level
and smooth, covered with little tufts oc
furze, and the green sod, closely fed by
thousands of sheep scattered over it.
Large fiocks of crows and magpies were
seen walking over it, some of them
within few yards Of the coach. The
tameness of these birds surprised me,
until learned the cause. In the tur-
hulent times, now in some degree gone
by in Ireland, firearms of every descrip-
ton were taken out of the hands of the
people; and the crows have. gradually
become SO domestic, as to hover around
the cabins, and root up fields of potatoes
with IMMUNITY.
