Now, in rder to obey orders and put in tlie time, i I'you and your readers have no objec- i ion, I will not promise a least of reason ! r a How of soul but will touch lighilvj nd very brielly on some of (he wonders n<l objects of interest of this very groat | tronghold of all the John Hulls, their] isters, cousins and aunts. O, London, j vhat shall I say of thee? Who can enu-j nerate all thy great wonders? Who can ! lescribo thv vast extent or count thy i multitudes? The population is put down) t 4,">00,0(10, and there are in it more' Scotchmen tlian i:i Kdin burg, more Irish han in Dublin, more Jews than in JPalesine and more Catholics than in Rome, 'he Houses of Parliament are very grand j >ut have not that gra;nl and noble ap-j learstnce as the eapitol at Washington,, nastuuch as they do not standalone, n fad, Mr. Kditor, England cannot j pread out over much ground, if she; rants room she has to build towards! leaven.

These ,oid thips have under consideration tlie deceased Wife's Sister Hill. As to the uerits and demerits of the bill I send ou a copy of the London Tina s, so that I on can jud^e of it. Parliament sits at j light and there is a great deal of eating ml wincing before the small hours of the norninur. You must k iow, Mr. Kditor, > 'ohn I5ull is always .eady to eat and j Irink and some of hi.- most important Measures are nut in shape over the dinier table or a good bottle of old port vine. The busy scenes of New York in oiripaiison with the bustle and turmoil if London are like a calm sea to the teui>est tossed waves of the ocean. Oxford ind Regent Streets are the great highvays and you get the benefit of being 1111 over, as the cabs and other en ruber- j o;iie means of travel that John uses are I riven at the highest rato of speed, up ud down.

On entering you art; struck k ith the very foggy appearance of things nd for some time you are unable to disiniruish the features of the three honors hi the bench. They wear bag wigs and j ?1 diTiv wun ii ivumv ? vij ij?mn?#?v nd altogether things have a very funeril-likc look, as there is a great stillness mil grave-like silenee. Their Lordships mve a very sleepy heavy look. Now, 1 an unable to account for tlfn, not being J ; lawyer, but my iir.prtwsion was that as] aw was a sort of a dry study and wherej here was so much legal talent as found u their Lordships high GV.iirt of Chancry. tlmt human nature gave way under ueh u load. If J l':nd any other way to leeount for this sombre appearance of lungs I will not fail to communicate in: ny next.

Now my Lord High Sheriff s not by any means as line a looking nan as our worthy Sheriff, Mr. PuPre, nd I will venture ilie assertion be is not lalf so clever.

It covers an area of thirteen | icres, while the square white tower rises j u the centre. This famous place of torture goes back i o the days of William the Conqueror j 07S. Now do not make a mistake in >rintinu: dates. I will u<lii, that liistoriallv, it is it very interesting spot. The vails are thirteen feet thick.

Now, I opine, that tins little sum would It well in the treasury at Columbia and lelp finish the Capitol* and its grounds, tt would be a good time to begin as Moses ms crossed the Red Sea or some other dace.

The original articles of Magna LUiiriar 01 tvin;'.j<niu arc lounu nere. l'lie Abbey is in the form of a Latin I'ross 573 foot long and the walls are as lirm as tliey wore live centuries ago. While there is a vast amount of wealth here there is likewise great poverty and suffering. Passing niv <vindow in the street below a man ami woman with four L-hildren, one in the arms, all the picture r?f misery. They are trying to sing "The Sweet live and Bye," and so lonir as they keep moving the | olice will not arrest them, Init if they should stop mid ask alius up they go. People throw a few pennies from the windows but I hey are few and far between. Such very distressing sights are to be seen at all times and illustrate fairly the two extremes. Englishmen as a general thing have a fjueer idea ot America. I was talking with a Captain in the Royal army, but now retired, and he said, your ('aliio/nia is a large city, is it not? Again, I was holding an interview with a Dowager Dutchess, and when I informed her I lived in South Carolina, she asked me it that place was ne.ir any large town. Like Mr. Conklin, I arose to make a personal explanation touching tho. metes and bounds of our great American country. Uncle Sam can boast of space, while Johnny Hull can of population. As an illustration: Sammy can put into his one State of Virginia, Englami, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Portugal, and have some room for a few friends left. "Kacts." Now, Mr. Editor, somebody says something about reason in all things ami your humble scribbler must lay down the pen in order to take an intelligent vie.v of the dinner that boots says is waiting me.
