What affectatino end ignorance do they not dis play who affect to despise London ! for it a walk affectatiou that can lead any torment the superiority of the country. Londou it toe mighty an object to be sineewel" contemned, erawik the abuse lactoolosol upon it is therefore nothing more than mere cant. The country is very well iu ite way ; and they who !prefer to do so, may " babble shout green fields" as much as they list: Let them keep their cattle arid desk pastures to themselves ; let them exclu sively move in the °borscht', uniformity, and uts i.

"Is not this fine ?" said Joiniten to Boswell, in Greenwich Park. "Yet," replied the parasite, knowing what reply was expected —" yeti hut not Kissel to Fleet-street."—" You ate right, Sir," said Johnson; and he was right. In London all that can contribute to condors and elegance, all that can embellish hie and heighten the pleasure of existence, is to be found um greater perfection ti►an in the country. lie who has known London a little time, and then leaves it to reside in the country, feels that he makes a great sacrifice. Filthy streets and a murky atmosphere, lung rows of dingy holism and clamorous cries heard there upon every side, are to be classed among those drawbacks which occur in every state and situation in life. But the intellectual advantages of London are incomparable ; it affords a union of a higher or der of tined than can be found elsewhere. The middling shopkeeper of London is far superior to the fox-hunting country squire in intelligence, though the ►quire is considered in society a grade above the shopkeeper in rank. Go into the little country town or village and mark the narrowness of feeling, the scandal, and backbiting that exists there. %Vete it not for the gentry that reside pert of the year in London, and carry back and diffuse around their country 'evidences some little of the manners and polish of London, added to the news papers from thence (for country newspapers have neither novelty, life, nor iudepeadeace, with a few exceptions, and are mere canvass,. stoat excite aad keep up a spirit of ingots', besides giving mfi eress . hots, the inhabitants of the country would be all downright boors to the Loudocierr. From London has flowed in a continued stream over the king dom, all its refinement and information ; it is from thence that the farthest corners of the land have been fertilized at litter or remoter periods, and try London is the current still kept up. There is a fashion lately come in of praising the country at the expense oh Loudon, and comparing meadows, hedgerows, corn-fields, • and blue skies, with brick walls, a foggy atmosphere, and sooty streets ; as if London had wallow more to display in the arena of dispute on this subject. The advo cates of the country bring all their strength into the field—and whit is that all but a few things pleasing to the eye ?—while London has a vast reserve to bring forward, and in modern warfare the reserve is the hope of the battle. Art, science, literature, fashion—all the stores of intellect—all that is truly noble and great. concentrate in London. It is a vast storehouse for the urinal, perpetually iiscreating its contents, and delivering them to the multitude. In die country the mind degenerates ; its know. ledge of what is moving on the great stage of life gets more and more confined, and it rapidly dimi nishes its stock of idea, : while in London the entire Of human life, in all its shifting variety of forms and inexhaustible combinations, is united in one focus. " How great the mystery ! let others sing The circling year, and promise of the opting, The suanswer's glory, apd the rich repose Of aniernm, and the elater'a silvery snows : Man through the changing *eerie let me pursues Himself how laundrette is his changes too ; Nut man the sullen savage in his den, But men called forth in fellowship with men." What is • country life but a mere tepetitinn of the same things—a very round-aboot--the " !abater of labeler i• mane rolebilis cerim r . i f man be placed upon the earth to perform high duties, he eauuot fulfil them by gazing upon luxuriant foli age, or betiding over the reflection of his own image io a trout-stre 0000 . He must live in a congregation of his species, witch their pursuits, mingle in their amusements, listen to their complaints, and even indulge in their vanities. The advocates for • country life contend strongly for the superior moral excellence of country people. This, however, is not a tenable po.ition ; there to a greater aggregate of virtue in London than in au equal population in the country. Besides, country people are more shy in their vices, and are apt to conceal those which a Londoner would commit, at least without such hypocrisy. In the country men are often virtuous from ("relit% no temptation to be otherwise ; wink its London, the man ol virtue, surrounded by snares, yet invulnerable to ten.pts. non, exhibits the moral character in much higher perfection. The muddily of the countryman often arise, out of blind custom, or the fear of drt.ctiou in evil ; while that of the Londoner must originate more in principle. It is trite that among great mita. Mations of men the greatest extremes will always be found ; but there is a sort of liberality even in the vices of London which those of the contitry do not exhibit :—the profligacy of the country is also courser than that of the town, sod it is equally abandoned. As to the simplicity. rural love. unsophisticated manners. and primitive innocency of country life, if they exist beyond the gilded ludo that eucit.le. the poet's dream, or b•coud the vision.') field " Beneath as aged oak Lae&lla ties Gomm alma het couch, her canopy the skies.

The London chambermaid, or the smirking wait. mg-woman of my lady, are far before the rustic in neatness of dress, elegance of appearance, Hood intel ligence. What is there captivating in the drabs of • farmer's kitchen, or the Pastorals of his turnip. field ? A cottage and cottage love may sound well in a tale, and way be very pretty things to hang poetical associations upon; but I hate hogsties. and smoky peat II es are, to my seeming. a bad substi tute for Wallsesid and Russel's Main, blazing through the polish of a London grate. Then, as to rural spurts, what an animal is a fox hooter ; yelling, like an Indian savage, after an un- An'llailmle animal, that be pursues over hedge and divh, fur twelve successive hour., with a regiment of yelping curs; and finishing his day's diversion with a drunken debauch ! That statue-like bring the angler, also, who stands a whole day among wit flags to be repaid with a •' glorious .isibble," the very image of wriproductive population, of stagnant bodily !sod intellectual power►! A walk in Hyde Park. a Thames aster-party, a visit to Vauxhall, o► to the theatre, are superior pleasures, giving and communicating social delight. The good health enjoyed by that portion of the city's popu lation which is not confuted to labours directly prejudicial to being, sheers that the violence of country exercise is not essential to good health. Men live to as great an age in Loudon as in the re motest villages of the country. I would not he thought to disparage the beauties of nature; on. the contrary, I think they are very delightful in their way ; but —"The loveliest pooped' way be sees Till half their beautit s fade." We cannot look at a green field for ever, and I al. ways feel in ■ stale of widowhood when I am long among them. lam isolated, and become melan choly and dull; nor do I recover until I fiud my self again on "The 'steel shady side of Pallioalli" or watching " the full tide of human existence" rolling its triple current at Charing cross. If we must see trees. we have them in the Parks ; and our rooms are filled with exotic plAnts, to which both " Perse and Ind" have contributed their share. London, excellent as it is. cannot give every thing. we cannot hove town and country sox; but we have almonacks to inform us how the year passes on, and if we do not choose to consult these " Set efts iv e c►ies lbe rwaacres chance prepare, Aud smart the uterthly progress of t h e year:— Hark ! how Ike Witte with treble voters nag, Tu the buiestrome product of °reap:off." In the country, it is true, a matt may be intellee tuAlly busy. flaring first stored his mind in London, he may go into the country and rest quiet till he has cbgeiaell, like a gorged serpent, what he has swallowed ; but cannot he do this as wall in Lon don The seclusion of a chamber in the Temple, or a back room op two pair of stairs iu a peaceable street, has the advantage of • viriiiity to life and bustle, and to the lively scenes of fashion, without going filly mile, to relax among them. There are hermits iu London, who, for twenty years together, have scarcely looked out of their front doors, and have had little reason to complain of interruption. The charities of life are no where exhibited to ouch perfection as in London : there they go hand in hand with the refinements of luxury. There is snore good dime in London in the space of • year, and done, too, from praiseworthy motives. than in •II the pert of the kingdom besides in double that space of time. While the country housewife is doling out •r farthings to the poor," the town Isdy is giving away pounds, and that, too, where the value of money is most sensibly experienced. Close living sod hoarding use the bane of benevolence ; the prodigal is always charitable, the miser cruel ; generosity is most rife where all is on the largest scale, and the mod, accustomed to contemplate things of magnitude, scorns to be little ouly in its measures of beneficence. Thus great good is done in London with far less effort than accompanies the microcosmic charities of the country. To the disciple of literature, London is the great focus of enjoyment. TI e student may, us before oh I, go into she country to digest what he has taken of mullet:tool food, het he can enjoy the feast uo where but there. Men and books in all possible variety may he there contemplated, and that kuosledgi acquired a Inch alone leads to lite vary excellence.

Thus London has matriculated all is her more liberal circle. mad without her genial power many a man, now greet, would bare remained . 4 unknowing and unknown." Her institutions, libraries. lector... museum.. her booksellers' shops, and rendezrobt of talented men, are advsistages which the country cannot Ward, and must ever confer upon her the pre-eminence in the ryes of literary meth In the country, except among the better class of persons, the ignorance of the people respecting all that they do not see, and even some part of what they do, is surprising. In London every class is comparatively wise. Burke said, that one of the best speakers and plain sensible men he had ever heard was a journeyman carpenter, at a debating society which he had himself attended in London. A onion is more independent in London than he can ever be in the country. He may utter his opi. Moos 'in the public coffer-rooth without fearing the revenge of the parson. the attorney, or the excise man, those tyrant. of the village. in case he pre sume to oppose their dicta in matters of religion or politics.
