Belfast, Ireland, May 23, 1S71. We left New York early on the morning of the Cth May, in the goo 1 ship "City cf Antwerp" of the Inmaa Line. There is so much difference of opiuion as to the safest aad btst frteamers for crossing the Atlantic, that a few words respectirjg the merits of this favorite line may not 1)3 out of place. These steamers are owned by a British American House, which commenced in 1851 with two ships; one of which, the "City of Manchester," is still running and the fleet now numbers peventeeu splendid steamers, from two thousand to three thousand tons burthen eaah furnishing a speedy, saf and reliable means of transit between the two countries ; of this num ber the "City of Brussels" and the "City of Paris" are, without doubt, the fa3tes! vtsselson tbe Atlantic, while the others makft recaLir and fa.t voyages. All ol o " the e ships were built at Glasgow on the Clyde, and are certainly model of Leiuty and symmatry. The accommodations for passengers are first cla-s, and do doubt fully equal in every respect to any other lino. Since the loss of tha "City of Bos ton" last year, the Inmttii Company nave ordered that all of thtir steamer bhall keep out of the latitude of the ice bergs, ihe greatest danger to which these traus Atlantic steamer. era expossd at this seas m of the year, and although this wise pre caution increases the distancd by nearly a whole days sail, the voyage from New York to Qaeenstown is generally made in ten days, and to Liverpool in eleven days. I he "City of Brutsala," however, has lately made the run in eight days from port to port, which is the fastett time on record.

Notwithstanding the measures of relief that have been adopted by the British Parliament, tha people of Ireland, particularly the lowet cls-jes, are still dis contented; the latter in eouie places, es pecidly in tha South Cork and Kerry, and also in Tipperasy counties ara bitter iu their denunciations of ihe Government and the landlords." The better classes seem to bo more fa vorably disposed to the Government, while the people oi ueiia3t anu oiuer iowu the "Deans of Resideocts," three in num ber, one.a Presbyterian, one an Episco palian, and one a Roman Ca'hodc. There is also an agricultural model school, where pupils receive a moderate literary educa tion, practical instruction in farming on the tcaool farm cf about two hundred Hcres, and are boarded at the small rate of 8 (about S42 50 our currency) for the entire year. . After spending a day and a half in Cork we took a jaunting car f r the pilgrimage made every year by thousands of toarisrs, to kiss the celebrated Blarney etoue. The Irish car is something so peculiar to thih country and is such a favorite mode of conveyance here that a deS2ription of it may bo interesting. The jaunting car, or side car, as it is sometimes, called, is a box about live feet long, mounted oblong upon springs, behind two long shaft ; on each sida of the box and about two feet beldw the top is a seat to accommodate t wo per sons ; below the seat is the foot-board, and inside the foot-board and under the car run the two wheel--. In short, the pasen gers sit back to back, efic:i side being like the steps of a staircase. You eifc on one step, re3t the feet on tbe one below, and recline with the elbows ou the ono above. Ihe driver has an elevated parch on the end of the b x between the shaf s. Pirn milts ii lu through tne romantic scsnery of the river Lee bring? us to Blarney Castle, which now consists of a mastdve tower about 140 feet high, and anoiher lower building less substantial, but t ) all appearances almost as impregnable as the Cus le proper. It is said to have baen built by the wife of the Earl of Des mond, ia 1449. and ii situated in a mcst betiii'iful grove, which is the subject of the celebrated soug, tbe "Groves oi B amey." Since this wus written the place has gained a wonderful notoriety for "There is a stone thoxo. That whoever kioees, Oh ! ha never mioses To grow eloqaect A clever epouoer He'll eare tai n out, or An out and outer. To be let al;oe ! Dont hope to hinder hi:.-!, Or to bewilder hiai, Hure hit' a a T-i gr;in From tha Blarney 6'.o.;t." The best of the juke is that tun genuine Blarney Stone isnoii lhe t p of the tower, and very dangerous to reach. -Toe height from the ground is more than a huudrtd feet, and most of the travelers aie content to reach it with the hand, and kios it, which the guide bssares them is quite suf ficient to convey "aa eloquence so llatcer m and wersucsivo thut nothing can resist. it." Howeve , a bravo little girl belonging to a party before ua was not content with thi?, but actually persuaded ner iriencu u tie a roae round her body, and lower her down to the stone, when she kissed it to lisr heart's content. There is a lake near the Castle, which the guide informed ns was enchantsd, and that if a person rowed to tne miaaie vi ib ho would imacine himself surrounded by flames of fire, but being rather pressed for time wo did not make the experrment. These Irish guides and car drivers are Thev tell von the most wonderful yarns about almost every place vnn visit, and should you at times ieei iiis- rueful tn m ike liont oi ineir siories, uuu question the truth of them, you incur their severe displeasure. One of them coolly in formed us a few days ago, wnue passing away. Our guide, who has a beautiful clear voioe, then makes the echo (wbiob-te telU us is the voie or aoswer of Paddj Blake) conduct along conversation, wind ing up with a song, the last two lines of each verse being promptiy answered by Pad-fy in the hollow. About half way between the east and wes shores of the lake, lies that fairy place Inuis fallen island, which is to interesting on ac count of the many historical assoeiaiioos connected with it, and celebrate 1 by tae podry of Moore for it- exceeding beauty altuough it appeared to us, from the lake, to bs densely covered with timbtr and thicket. We found, on landing, a variety of scenery flowering shrubs, and ever greens cf arbutus and holly. The Abbey, whesa ruins arc scattered about the island, is believed to have been founded in the year 600. From lnnis fallen, we rowed over to Eo s Castle, situated on Bos Island. The Ca3tle was built by one of the O'Donaghues. Iu 1052 it held out against the English, and was the last to surrender. The old guns uro s ill lying thtre, and we noticed the date of several s ampad upon them, 1520. From Killarney we took a jaunting car for the Gap of Duuloe, a wild and narrow pass between tue rage of mountains anotvn as Macsiliicaddy's P.i-ks, and th Purple Mountain. Leavfng our car and driver at Fiko liock, wo pushed on ly a mere pony track, constructed on the fie ri, int, brink of precipices. lue . . . . - height of the mountains o t-acu s;de of us is about trreo thou sand feet, aud tho highest poak ttirty-live hundred ft et, and here the scenery is really wild and desolate. xSear the Gap we f a se J tho . lake wntra aint Patrick banisL'-d the last s-rpsut from Ireland, accordicg to the oid story with which all school boys are quite familiar. Passing through tho tipj.-er end cf the Gap wecima to tbo Dark Valley, a wild aud desolate hollow, so named from boing almost shut or.t from tho light of day by the lofty hills surrounding it.It is, by far, the most awful sight tLat we nave yet wi: cessed, and it is snid tint few strangers can look into its dark recess without a feeling akin to horror. The people throughout thesa mouutaiu passei are very poor, and the traveler is beset on all Bides bv becrerar men. bepprav women, and beg- crar o.hildren. each with a stereotyped story to tell. They depend almost altogether upon the oharity of tourists visiting this region, and seem to Jiva upon peas ana coats' milk, as ttat is abodt all one sees of their means. There are large herds of i?;ats feedincr on tho mountain ranges about three hundred of them coma down f.- ho milked everv e ?L-Linsr. We end the evening with a visit to Mnrkrns3 Abbev. wnich is on tne beauii- fallv keDt cround3 of Mr. Herbert, M. P., who owns a large estate here. This Abbey founded in 1410. and is tho most iu- tfirftstini? ruin iu Ireland. The cloistera are in the form of a pit-zza fiurrounding dark court vard. made stiii mere gloomy hv .i miiGrniliout vuW tree, which has nnvercd the whole suaca in the ard, aud is said to have been planted there when the Abbev was founded.

We met with so many inquiri for friend in Wilmington, that we. almost felt at home. The general appearance of Belfast f that of a neat, thriving city. The? ia. id strowth of the place is something rea :y wonderful, aud may be attribu'ed, in senv legree, to our late war, which gave the linen buines, upon which the place almcst entirely depend for support, sacb an impetus. In 1821 the inhabitant numbered about 37,000; now the popula tion is ntarly 125 U00. There are mam largo faotories here, and a large number of very handsome buildings. From Belfast we visited the celebrated Grant's Causeway, and also the town oi Drogheda, where the battle of the Boyne as fooght, but of thoe we may write at 3me future time.

In, Last week General fl"nry Hardin visited the pigeon roosts neur K louum City, and spent several days there, aud irom mm we gathered some facts tbbt may bo of intere-t to sportsmen ab ut here. Tbe roosts com mence about live mi'es from iviitoirn City, are eight or ten miles wide, and ex- 'end as far north ps Cna'id litpius, in Portage county, about foity or foriy five miles. The Giuer! says tho country n pror, I sandy, and scrubby. lho pigeoua huve tak-u postitRsion of tho wo id-, and then nesta ate to ba seen on every tree, uu one tree he counted forly-six no.-t', and thinks there must havo been at le.'lt a hundred on some of tbe Ja gr ones. The ground is covered with dend bir.ls. The woods ure full of Indiana, hunters and trappers from all over the country. Some are then? jutf r the sport of the thicg, and s-omo gathering them and sending to tho large cities lor sporting clubs, to the markets. &c. The pigeons have attracted coniaeraoie i wild game, and uumerous wolves and foxow have been toan and killed. There are trap pars up there who make pigeon hunting a business, and follow all tho roost. The General camped one night in the woods iu the midst of the pigeons, and says t'jey fluttered around and were not quiet until near morning. In tho woods the birds do not fly in flocks as is cenerally supposed, but are scattered, aud fly . in aud out more like mosquitoes, so that it is very hard, although there seeems to bo millions of pigeons around, to kill large numbers at one shot. All the pigeons killed dropped with their crops filled witb wheat, oats, ana pigeon cms. When tho vouns erd about two weeks old the old ones till their ciops witb food and desert them. The roosts seem to be extending toward tho north, and many prophesy that the pigeons will soon take their departure lor lUicnigan. uni ison Journal. Superior CwUrt.

At one of these stations we wit uessed a sad, sad parting.

It seemed very hard for them to hv good bye, bat te la bell ws rutg, and w th the silent grwp of the hand, the c jotiug sob, thj lou cainrei look, and the deep, f rvent "God blets you," the train moved off, separating tue parents and child, likely never to meet Again in this world.

We found the Shelbourne Hotel in Dnb lin, as well as the first-class hotels through out Ireland, really very fine establish ments.

It is strange to remark the various esti mates made by farmers of the profits from any department of their bu-iness, and i illustrates the looseness and carelessness which characterizes their method of keep ing account?.
