LOVE FOR THE DEAD.-The love that
survives the tomb, says Irving in one of
the noblest attributes of the soul. Ifit has
woes, it has likowise its delights; and when
the Overwhelming burst of grief is calmed
into the gentle tear of recollection, then the
sudden anguish and convulsed agony over
the present ruins Of all that we most loved
are softened away into pensive meditations
on all that it was in the day of its loveliness.,
Who would root asuch sorrow from the
heart, though itAmay sometimes throw
passing cloud over. the bright hour Of gaiety,
or spread a deeder sadness over the hour of
gloom yet who would exchange iteven
for the song of pleasure or the burst Of revel-
ry? No; there issa voice from the tomb
sweeter than the song--there is a remena-
brance of the dead TO which we turn even
from the charm of the living. ---' .s.,.. s s. 81

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

CorToN On Wednesday, the quantity offering
M the current prices was siill moderate, and the
sales were about $50. On Thursday the market
was still quiet, aud the sales were restricted
10 about $500 bales. Yesterday being New Years
Day, was very generally observed as a HOLIDAY :
there seemed little or no inclination on the part Of
BUYERS to enter the market the c;ions so far
as we could learn, being confined to about 100
bales, making total OF 8, 100 bales, principally
for France, the Continent and our Northern ports.
The total sales OF the week are $4,000 bales. As
regards prices, they have generally been fully to
the advanced figures quoted III our last, and which
are still continued, but the market closes with
rather less irmncss, and with a more ample supply
lLlIIInn.

heavier than the week previous. In our last re-
port we stated that the market closed firm at the
quoted rates with an upward tendency-we have
now to notice an advance Of fully &c. on our pre-
vious quotations, caused by the favorable news re-
ceived by the Cambria, from Liverpool. The sales
Of the week amount to $50 bales, as follows;-7
