c THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1871. A GLANCE AT IRELAND. frtw an (rational CorrttpondenU Kili.arnet, Ireland, June 12, 1871. . Our party of five reaohed Qaeenstowu on lre 8d Inst, on the Onnard steamer Cuba, After a pleasant and short passage of nine days. We found this season the most fa Torable ti..v for coming over, and the opinion of many of our passengers who had crossed the big pond twenty to forty times was, that they never had a more delightful voyage. Think of old times, when a ship would be sixty and eighty days enduring buflfetinga from Neptune. We had very little really rough weather, though the vessel rolled con siderably, and the racks had to be kept on the cabin tables most of the time. The transfer from the steamer to the tug and thence to the railway station occupied about two hours, and our ride to Cork was a short one. We went about the town in a jaunting-car, and saw everything of interest. We visited Blarney Castle, but did not kiss the far-famed "Blarney stone," as its appear ance was not at all inviting. We found a beautiful country, as far as surface and pro ductions are concerned; but I must oonfess the inhabitants are very squalid and far from prepossessing. The Imperial Hotel at Cork . vr&s quite comfortable, and the quality of food very good, although the variety was small, and charges for meals, separately, about the Bame as with you in Philadelphia, from seventy-five cents to a dollar for breakfast or dinner. We left for this place in the afternoon train of tie Mb, making a long stay at Mallow, and running very slowly all the time. We paid what they call first-class fare, but the cars were very dirty, and the racks were so contracted they could not accommodate our small baggage, satchels and bundles. It seemed singular to be locked in, and in this warm weather the cars are very close, and what people do who are sick on the journey, i s more than I can imagine. The engineers on the locomotives have no covering what ever over them, and they, with their firemen, have to take the full foroe of all storms, as well as the scorching sun, which must be a great discomfort. There cannot be the least objection to having the same protection from the weather that our engineers have, except that it is too progressive, and foreigners will not take pattern from us. Tho locomotives were all very light, and could not possibly draw one of the heavy trains that are daily run on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Such things as palace and drawing-room cars, or sleeping-cars, are unknown here; so we shall not travel any at night if we can avoid it. Many of the passenger coaches have cast iron wheels with spokes, and as the wheels are quite large, the cars present a curious ap pearance, being so high from the ground. However, they say the roads in England and on the Continent are much superior in most respects to ours in the United States. Nous verrons I Our hotel here is supposed to be something extra, as the Prince of Wales once stayed here a whole week. The waiters wear nice white gloves at dinner every day, as if at a dress party, and our table d'hote keeps us seated two mortal hours. We would a little rather prefer the American style (though we do not admire bolting our food in backwoods fashion), and we could improve our time in sight-seeing, as we shall try to do in the future. This house is supported almost entirely by Americans. The drivers all say there are ten of our countrymen to one Englishman, and our stay here so far has proved it. The ladies of our party are able to walk much farther than they could at home, accomplish ing many miles a day on foot, and if they keep on improving they will make an ante prandial tour of our new Fairmount Park on our return to Philadelphia. Of course most if not all of the churches here are the Roman Catholic, though the Church of England may have a few adherents. The majority jot the population seem to be priest-ridden. Workmen here get but one shilling twenty-two cents per day, and not steady labor at that, and all I have seen are anxi ous to go to America, the "Land o' Liberty," of which they have curious and often ridiou lous ideas. None of them object to receiv ing shillings as fast as yon can hand them oat. Every one of whom you may ask a question seems to expect some gratuity, and our funds would soon give out If we acceded to all demands upon our purse. This we are prepared for, as it is the experience of all European travellers. The lords about here are two in number, and own about ten miles in every direction. The woods and lakes are full of game and fish, but no one can hunt or fish without ex press permission, which is not easily ob tained. The tenants live in good cottages, and seem to be well satisfied, but the mass of the people live in the most abjeot misery, in mud cottages or huts, thatched with straw, no floors but mother ear in, and often not even a chair. No wonder they want to emi grate to our country, where their condition could not be worse, but must be vastly unproved. It is not dark here till nearly 10 o'clock at night, tnd it is light again at half-past two in the morning, so that if we could only afford to do with Baron Humboldt's few hours of sleep, we should nave time to see a great deal more. We anticipate much pleasure among the lakes of Killarney, which we have read and heard so much about, and I will send you a description of them in another letter. We design going from here to Dublin and to remain there a day or two, then to Belfast and the Giant's Causeway, and Londonderry perhaps, then eoross the channel to Greenock up the Clyde to Glasgow, and oa to EUa Lurb, aud so by rail to London.

TIIE ART MYSTIC, from. Iht Pall Hall Gazttt. There are some preposterous things in this world, which thongb.Jwe hardly know how to treat them seriously, yet have about them some element which checks the feeling of mirth with which we are at first tempted to regard them. An exhibition of drawings re cently opened in Bond street, under the title of "Spirit Drawings in Water Colors," is of this sort. On first entering the room, and on first opening the catalogue, the inclina tion of any person possessed of ordinary powers of perception must be to regard the whole thing as an outrageousbsurdity; but a feeling of something almost akin to distress is not long in succeeding to this first emo tion, so tbat the mind of a visitor to the ex hibition is alternately occupied by sad and ludicrous images daring the whole of his stay in this gallery of painful absurdities. The "spirit drawings in water-colors" ex hibited at the "New British Gallery" in Old Bond street are one hundred and fifty-five in number, and consist entirely of curves and flourishes in all sorts of colors, mostly very bright ones, interspersed with certain threads of white tracery, of the finest and most elabo rate kind, in lines as tbin and intricate as the weavings of a cobweb. In all these one hun dred and fifty-five drawings there appears to be no attempt to reproduce distinctly any object of which mortals nave cognizance. Here and there are certain torms which re motely resemble leaves, and now and then there is faintly shadowed forth what may be supposed to represent some unknown fruit dimly Bnggestive of a ripe fig of Biobdingnag proportions; but for the most part the draw ings consist of an infinite variety of curved lines which, like the tale told by an idiot, "signify nothing." What are these "spirit drawings" like? They are a little like seaweed, a little like feathers, a little like an anatomical prepara tion in a bottle at the College of Sargeons. They remind one, moreover, of some of the maddest of William Blake's designs, and of the later whirligigs of Turner. What is most strange about them, perhaps, is that they are executed with great show of elaboration, the curves are drawn with exceeding care, the colors, which are brilliant in the extreme and not inharmonious in arrangement, are deli cately laid on, while over all and interwoven with all is a sort of network of white lines of the most extraordinary fineness, which remind one of spun glass and of gossamer, and (tell it not in Uatb; ever so little of boiled vermi celli. Judging by the statements contained in the catalogue published by the artist a lady through whose mediumship these drawings have come into existence, they have each and ail a distinct and separate meaning. Thus, while one will be designated a "Blossom from a bpirit Home, another will be entitled the "Monogram of Mrs. Guppy," and yet another. the "Spiritual Crown of the Rev. Richard Chermside." The spiritual crowns are nume rous throughout the collection. Besides those of her MajeFty the Queen and the late Prince Consort described at great length in the catalogue there are among others the spiritual crowns of Daniel D. Home, Esq., and of Miss Houghton herself, the lady by whose hand spiritually guided of course all these drawings have been executed. There are also the flowers, plants, and fruits of various individuals who are mentioned by name in the collection. There is, for instance, the "Flower of William Borer," the "Plant of Sidney Alexander Houghton, and the "Fruit of Mary War rand," any one of which might, as it appears to the uninitiated eye, do duty for either of the others, or, if need were, for the "Flower of William Shakespeare, " whioh in turn might serve, as it would seem, for that of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy or Bartolomeo Esteban Murillo, both of whom are here represented by means ofBpiritual botany, as are also "Franz Anton Mesmer," "William Blake, the artist," and, most surprising of jumbles, Archbishop Whateley, of logical celebrity. But perhaps the most curious feature con nected with this amazing exhibition is the mixture of what is praotical and common place with what is sublime and mystical, evi dence of which meets one at every turn. The explanatory pamphlet which is sold in the gallery abounds in such evidence, but no where is it displayed in a more oomioal form than in tne concluding section, in which the symbolism of color is treated of: a list of colors described by the conventional names conferred by the artists colorman being given on one side of the page, with the qualities of whioh each tint is supposed to be symbolical on the other. From this list we gain much valuable information, learning, among otnertningB, tnat yellow ochre repre sents "delicacy of mind;" purple lake, "power of appreciating the great and good in others; mixed green fcamboce and Prussian blue). fredhnessof soul; sepia, "nursing powers; "and brown madder, "adjustingness of mind" whatever that may be. Truly, we live in an ge of wonderful discoveries, and surely "these are or them. MILLINERY. jyjr B 8. B. D I L L O 1 NOS. 833 AND 831 SOUTH STREET, FANCY AND MOURNING MILLINERY, CRAPE VEILS.
