But we shall now let him speck for himself : " Immediately %son handing (at New Yo.k), I treated myself with a glass of railer nail smite fruit ; the charge was dearer than in Londuo.— As yet I cannot of course communicate any useful! particulars. I have walked alone throtirls the streets, for the purpose of forming an iudepen. dent judgment. Every object is new. I hardly dare trust myself in forming cottelitsiotto : our most cheering fact is indisputi:ble, the absence of irremediable distress. The street popoletioo bears an aspect essentially ditlerent from that of London, or large E., 4 1i,h towns. Otte sinking feature is io the number of blacks, many of whom are finely dressed, Ile- females very ludi crously so, shewieg a partiality to white muslin dresses, urtificial flower., and pink •NiloCli• I saw hut few well-dressed white ladies, hut ant informed that the greater part are at ittesesit at the springs of Balsianand Saratoga*. The dress of the mesa is rather deficient in point of neatness nod gentility: Their appearance, in common with that of the, la diis and children, is sallow, and what we should call unhealthy. Our friend I)-- tells inc that to have colour in the cheeks :sat infallible criterion by which to be discovered us nit Englishman. In a British town of any import:6er, you cannot a alk along a leading turret for halt nu hoar, without meeting with almost every vari.ty in the sire, these, trout appearance of the inhabitants; whilst. nu. the contrary, here they seem all of one family; and though not quite dritb.ClilOUrt'd creation.' the feeliegs they excite :ire not many degrees removed from the uninteresting sensations generated by that expreasion. The young men are tall, Hilo, and so lento; their dress is it:avert:ally trousers, and very generally loose great coats. Old men, in our Eng lush idea of that weld, appear very rare." " tYpoua the whole, a walk thiongh New York will disappoint an Englishmen ; there Itt, (111 the surface of society, a cerelesmess, a laziness, an un to:scud indifference, which freez-s the blood and die. gusts the judgment. AN evening stroll along Broad-Way, when the lamps are slight, will please more thou one at noon-day. The alums will look rather better, but their proprietors will hot greatly please; their cold sialiffeleiter may be mistaken by themselves for independence, but no person of thought and observati will ereecoireede to them that they have ' , elected a wise mole of eithibiting that dignified feeling. I disapprove most decidedly of the obsequious vervilltl• of the London shopkeepa erg, but I am not prepared to go the lengtlaof those iu New York, who stain' with their hats on, or sit or lie slang their counters, smoking :trots, and spitting io every duration, to a degree offettstve to any man of decent feelings. The prevalence of Dutch names tells me I mil there a stranger; tint this feeling is often comiterneted by viewing the iorroetaw quantities of Boitislo manufactured goods with which the shone are crowded, as also the num ber of English works which tare advertised, and the placards of Home's Riot In Latidoir'—' Prince's Russia Oil'—' Reeves and Woiaiyer's Colours,' and Day and Alartiit'a Blacking'."
