Whilst I was on my knees respecting this object, 5l. was brought for it. April 10. Today came in still further for the Orphans, with Eccles. ix. 10, 5l.; also 2l. April 19.
In this our great need F. W., who often has been instrumental in supplying our need, and who lives many miles from Bristol, sent 5l. There came in 5s. besides. Thus we are helped to the close of one more week, in which our faith has been repeatedly tried. In the evening came in further, by sale of articles, 2l., and a donation of 10s. June 7. Lords day.
By means of this 1l. 10s. we have been able to meet all pressing demands, and to procure provisions for today and tomorrow. Oct. 29. Monday. The Lord has again given us this day our daily bread, though, in the morning, there was not the least natural prospect of obtaining supplies. One of the labourers, who had received some money for his own personal expenses, gave 2l.
There was a tradesman who made regularly 5l. a week; who was accustomed every week to devote 2l. to his household expenses, to lay by 2l., and to employ the remainder in getting drunk. He was, Lord Derby thought, the only man he had ever known who satisfied all his wants with 40 per cent. of his income, who always laid by 40 per cent., and who expended 20 per cent. on his pleasures.
The 2l. 6s. 10d. was given out today for housekeeping, and I am once more penniless. A few hours after I had written this, there was given to me by a brother 2l. 10s. When I received this money, I was at the same time informed of the death of one of our sisters, a widow, whose child we can receive. April 10. Today was sent anonymously from the country 5l.
The immediate consequence of the spread of the sugar culture in our West India islands was, that the ports of London and Bristol became the great magazines for this commodity, and supplied all the north and middle parts of Europe; and the price of the Portuguese-Brazil sugars was reduced from 8l. to 2l. 10s. per cwt.
Vessels to pay the following dues and fees on entry: To Orphans, an English merchant ship with merchandize, in government service, 15s.; ditto, not in government service, 1L. 10s.; a whaler, with merchandize, 15s.; ditto, with no articles for sale, 10s.; a foreign ship 2L. 10s.
This 2l. 13s. 5 1/2d. was sent to the matron, whilst we were waiting upon God to send more help. In the evening the boxes at the Girls and Infant-Orphan-Houses were opened, and in them was found 3l. 7s. 5 1/2d. Thus the Lord has kindly helped us again for two or three days. Aug. 18. I have not one penny in hand for the Orphans. In a day or two again many pounds will be needed.
If sold to the Karankeas in retail 30,000 Light yellow cloth nearly the same as scarlet; blue not so high Paper per sheet 40 A dollar from 6 to 12,000 Or from 1L. 5s. to 2L. 10s Four minkallies are equal to L3. 3s. Value in Cowries. Ivory, the very largest teeth, each 10,000 The medium size 7,000 The smaller 3 or 4000 Indigo leaves beat and dried in lumps larger than ones fist, each 40
Tell my mother that a man would get from 2l. to 4l. a month wages, with board, lodging, &c., all found, and his wife from 1l. 10s. to 2l. a month and everything found, according to abilities and testimonials. Wages are enormous, and servants at famine price; emigrant ships are CLEARED OFF in three days, and every ragged Irish girl in place somewhere.
