THE LAND OE? MILK AND HONEY !

The following, is an Extract of a Letter from
Mr. ROBERT HORSFALL, who emigrated from. Man.
chester about two years ago, taking with him pro.
perry to a considerable amount, with the inten-
tion of commencing business in some part of the
United States :

" PIIILADELPIIIA, SEPT. 20.
"My Dear Friend,—l cannot express to you how happy I
feel that you did nut listen to the flattering representations
of this now wretched country. I should never hare forgiven
myself, if you, or any other Friend, listening to the glowin4
accounts that were sent you, shortly after ray arrival, had been
induced to quit England tosettle here. Never was there so great
a metamorphosis (from affluence to beggary) in the history of
any Country, as the last ten months have wrought in Ame-
rica, whose bunt used to he—' Beggars we have none. and
bankrupts very few!'—Now, alas ! trom noe extremity of the
Union to the other, the Country swat WS with each descrip-
tion. 4111101); the farmer, I regret to say, are many of my de-
luded countrymen, who came out under brighter prospects.—
As foe myself I have quite exhausted my finances, and sits
embrace an early opportunity of returning to Old England,
Bever inure to quit it. Messrs. Cheetham and Forster also
mean to accompany me, as there is nothing but ruin staring
us in the face in every direction.

' Many Englishmen, who only a few months ago conceived
themselves in the high road to fortune, ❑nable to bear the
cruel reverses they have experienced, have sunk under their
load of suffering. I only know the name of one of these un-
happy individuals, and that I shall conceal, in tenderness to
his respectable relatives at . The crime of suicide is
increased to alarming extent in this country, where it was
formerly of rsre occurrence; and to sum up the measure of
misery experienced in this once-depicted land of Milk and
honey,' that worst of all scourges of the human race, the
yellow fever, has again been committing its dreadful ravages.
" Many hundred (natives of the United Kingdom), sorna
by the aid of the British Consul, others by the humane as-
sistance of the British Merchants, and a few by means of the
small wreck of their property, have quitted this land of pro-
mise, and returned to Great Britain—and I almost envy thesis
for having get the start of me. lam likewise grieved for the
fate of the thousands of miserable creatures whom poverty
must rivet to this country, where there are no Charitable In-
stitutions for their relict. Any permanent change fur the
better is quite unlooked for here, nuless a war should break,
out in Europe, of which, I suppose, there is no prospect !"

Messrs. SIVRWRIGHT seem to have a happy
knack in adapting their Schemes to the taste of
the times, tor in their last Contract, the Public
bought near!y double the number ot Tickets they
did in the preceding. The present advances in the
same ratio, but that is not very surprising, since
there are only 5,000 Tickets on Sale, which a're
ALL to be Drawn on Lord Mayor's Day, (9th Nov )
these are Sure to have TWO Prizes of 20,0001.
(Money ai•d Consols), and, by a New Plan of the
Contractors, it is possible they may gain neatly
All the Capitals allotted for Two distinct Lot-
teries, although the Scheme contains BIGHT Prizes
ot 20,0001. in Monty or Comols.
