One of the handsomest and most curious of these T saw was tne satin-bower-bird, so called from its btack and glossy appearanee, and a singular habit it has of erecting a bower, some time before it builds a nest, or even tskn> mate. What a lesson this, fur some human beings ! We must beiiere this bird knows more of life Than he who, houseless, takes himself a wife? There are nearly 50 varieties of parrots and parafceeSg in these Aviaries, some of them exceedingly handsome, and evincing the tea* cosmopolitan spirit by making themselves . -rv,- *' quite at home," and hatching out their young ones here.

When a Londoner speaks of the " city," hs refers to the ancient pnrt of I.ondon, which was formerly inclosed by a wall, and soparated froin Westminster by Temple Bnr. Some pnr.. tions of this wall are still in a good stnto of preservation ; and one contiguous street, following its line bears the Dime, " London Wall." ' One day, when making some inquiries of a policeman, I learned that Mi'.ton, the author of " Paradise Lnet," was born In Bread Streetwhere we were then standing. He directed me to the aid church where Milton was baptised j and I waw the identical font that we, used on that occasion. After looking at this interesting relic. I visited an old church at the foot of Wood 8treet, where his body was laid. usumi muuumcui ornrs in? usual record o> birth, death, Ac., which I had only time to hurriedly read, as the evening aervleo was just to begin. T was shown a |? in the renter of the ehureh , which, the sexton told mowas directly over the place where his body lay. Any Londoner, horn within the aonnd of Bow-bells, was, and is, ealloil a "cockney." The " llow-hells" are on How Church, which which ia situated in How Street, just off Cheapsidc, and near tho center of the ancient I city. The forenoon of one day I devoted to visiting Hunyan's grave, which I had no little difficulty ill finding, but was finally successful.? His grave is in" Hunhill Fields" on the old city road. The yard is enclosed on three aides hy large houses, and on the front, hy a brick | wall. The graves insido tho yard are two or three feet above tho Icrol of the side walk . and this elevation, there ean he do doubt, is owing to the great number of bodies buried therein. What a mound of human dust !? The ground was opened about the time of the great plague, and was then outside of the city. The gate was locked, when I arrived ; so I was obliged to make farther inquiry about the possibility of admisflon. After n while, I ascertained that the key was kept J by an old soldior, who lived in tlio barracks, on one side of the yard. I scut for hint : but, whether he got my message or not, he did ' not come; so, making my way over piles rubbish heaped up about an olvl houso on tho other side which was under repair, I at las1 effected entrance to this Golgotha. Hut how VAI I to fintl n mnn cr iKn? 1? grave I sought ? By perseverance and good luck, combined, my wishes were finally grsti- I ficd. Bunyan't tomb it a plain, old fashioned, svuaro monument, at pretcnt in good condition. On one tide of tbe monument it the ' fullrwing inscription : Nt. JOHN BL'NYAN, Author of Pilgrim's Progreat. Obt., 3l?t. Augntt. 1689, Act., 60. On the other tide, an inacription comment oratet the fact thai the monument wac repaired, not many year* ago, by the Karl of Shaftthury, a nobleman who, 1 waa toM, la distinguished hy hit liberality to all aeeta of Chrietiana, althaugh himself a member of the regular Church of England. It wae aomething to have teen the grave of the onca despieed tinker of Bedford, whose name will outlive the namea of all hit cruel I persecutor#, at turely at hla piety exceeded their professions. Oppo-Be to Ilunhill I Fields ia another cliurchyard wherein lie J the remain* of Wetley, founder of Method . j ism. My disappointment waa considerable, that I did not tae the grave of Isaac Watte, which I afterwards learned, too late, was in the tana yard with Bunyau'e. In my wandering* about (he city, I noticed several churchea bearing steeples just alike, and waa informed that many of the house* of worship deatroyed hy the great fire in London were ??*>? ?.?'-j this sort of steeple, in commemoration of that dreadful event. Home of th? street* have very curious name* ; as, for instance* " AH Sslnle Alley," " Paternoster Row," " Kriday Street," " Tlireadueedle Street," "Shoe Lane," " Idol Alley," " Love I,aite/' and " Popping Alley," IIow l.itrreeting it might be to loam the history of thee* localities, and the prohalde accidents which originaUd end led to the adoption of such singular names.

Temple Rar is a large, uglydookinj structure, which divides the Strand, (the great thoroughfare of London,) on the Westminster aide, from Fleet Street,(which is tnerrlv a continuation of the same ave. iiiue on tlie Eastern aide of the It?r.) One of the ancient privileges of the eitiens ol ^ond<>n, with the Lord Mayor aalheirhead, was the right to close the'gales of T?mple Bar against even the reigning sovereign ; and, to this day. on all State occasions, the gales are 'closed against lisr Majesty, whose cortege must come to a full stop, when one of her attendants alighting, knocks ai the gate, and something hka the foth wing colloquy begins ; (L'-rd Mayor, from within.)

Queen Victoria is advancing in years, and has but Imperfect health ; and I suppose it i' gencrailv understood that the lishils of the heir apparent, brines of Wnba, are not of the most encouraging character, although the Queen, his mother, is dearly beloved l?y all her auhjrcta. MORI? A SON. ?jjt fnntjirm Cnlrrprisr. GREEXVILLE, S. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1867. The Rewards of Southern Loyalty, socalled. and Southern '.tadicala. The Into elections hnvo been a fine common, tary un tho blessings of Radicalism. In South Carolina, fifty seven of tho " wbit< trssh," as the negroes call thetn, hnvo beer elected to the Convention. To pronnro thi, glorious result, three hundred thousand white men, women anil eliildren have become subject to tho absolute rule, government and dominior of the negroes. About one white man in fin thousand is promoted, by office, to an equality with negroes. Such is the result, so far, o tho so-called Ueeonstruction Radical party measures. Can our Southern white women j bear to see their husbands, fathers and lfothj ers devote their innocent babes, their dough ters and their sons, to the deep degradation o negro government and negro equality, merely to elect somo fifty whito men ? We believe j tbnt there arc none of our while women ycl sunk so low as to encourage the Radical Negro programme, and we also believe that few as ycl are tho white voters who favor it, and there will lie scarcely any one to vote Radical hereafter. It seems to us none but an idiot could do so, except those whoso ambition for offiei has blinded their understandings. That the government of South Carolina I, to be under tho negroes completely, accordinj to the Radical plan, is proven by the fact thai a decided majority of the present military Convention, which is to make a Constitutor for the State, are negroes. In Alabama, then , was, w# believe, a majority of whlU member <ji tue Convention, but, being Radical, thei measure* were adapted to the neiro view* an< tlicir own worae than negro principle*. W beliere that the negroei, if let alone by tb white Radicals, would do better. Some o tho more eensible negroe*, in Alabama ar [ now forming aocietica to defeat the Radica Conatitution, wbieh disfranchise* whtU men.
