CITY Alcr.—The sight, in truth, is rather dis-
appointing to a stranger who lice hoard of the cares of wealth
and the deceitfulness of riches. As be looks upon the men
who go past him, the sight does not realise the conception
of "City ^ life which be has formed from books or from his
own imaginings. He looks in vain for the haggard look and
careworn features which be has learnt (very incorrectly( to
essoMate with City men, and especially with the dealers
in money. Overburdened, no doubt, some of these
men are occasioeslly —and in what trade or profession
is it otherwise'—but, on the whole, they wear a
more lively and cheerful look than any other set of
business-men we have seen. They are iutent on their work ;
they have no time to stand and parley with you ; but they
go shout their business with liveliness and zest. You never
bear the slow monotonies of depression ; their voices see
quick and lively, sod a laugh end a hit of badinage are ma-
dam quite absent as they fly about in search of ieformatios
or in execution of commissions. They dress well, in the sub-
stantial style—and a gold chain across the waistcoat, or a
flower in the button-hole, are their favourite and not very
conspicuous modes of personal decoration. Sometimes, in.
deed, you will see the gay-coloured neck-scarf, buttoned
surtout, white waistcoat, and light gloves, familiar to you in
Pall-mall and Piccadilly, for even the Westeod swell now-
adays ventures into the vortex of fioancial speculation ; hot
he looks a butterfly moot the busy throng, sod his air (ea
doubtless as he wishes it to be) is quite different from that
of the habitués of the precinct. Nothing more conduces to
preserve youthfulness than a considerable amount of
meets' activity. The alertness and vivacity of the mind
transfer themselves to the personal appearance. And de-
spite all the worry and anxieties which them money•
dealers and speculators ere supposed to, mad sometimes do.
undergo, they weer better, and keep their youth longer,
than the farmers and provincial classes generally. There is
no munteriog here ; said men of threescore end upwards
step out se lightly as men of half their age is provincial
places. In truth, it is the elderly gentlemen who show to
most advantage is this monetary metropolis ; and ever and
Amos yes meet with the fresh clear complexion, pure white
whiskers, and brisk look and movement, which chazaateriae
the best specimens of our elderly English gentlemen. It
seems a healthy Is well as exciting pursuit which man ply
in this precinct of MAION2OO. Even the speculators par
mellow—um who are rich today and poor to-morrow—
