50 as TO obyia:e fluctuations from acciden
tal causes. Ifthen half n million be assum.
ed as the utmost which could have been
raised in 176O, that sum multiplied by foul
gives two millions for 1880, Which mnltipli-
I'd by FIVE gives ten millions for 1900. On
going backward and dividing first by 2, we
have 100000 for l7i0, and then by 2 we
have $s0,OOe for the year l720, 1.-The Era ol
the South Sea Bubble. Now then, five
go forward, notwith sextuple, bat merely
with quadruple ratio, for rnore periods Of ~
years, beginning with f2,O00,OO0 st-.ling
we have for 1890 fS,O00,000 a. for 1910
more than thirty millions sterlingofrevenue
raised from population which may then
amount to near 10000 900 Of souls. This
indeed seems impossible, but did il not
seem equally impossible at the close Of the
seven years war, that the nett revenue OF
British America should exceed c2,W,0 600
sterling by the end of the century, Had
this beenasserted OH the Exchange of Lon
don in the year 1850, would it not have
been laughed at? Would.it not have been
laughed at in 1880? But whithcr am go

answer your letters now lying before me.
Many thanks for what you tell me about
your family, and about our friends reniem-
Der afiectionutely TO them and present my

you were on this side the water, / should
greatly rejoice; and whatever you might
do) your grand children would have great
reason to rejoice. But you won't come--you
will shiver along through German and
Scotch summers, consoling yourself Cor the
tediousncss Of June, by the hong, snug,
comfortable evenings Of January. You
tell me, my friend, that must join you,
and particularly must take up my residence
in London. But have you reflected that
there is more of real society in one week
at Nienstelcn, than in Lonlen year,
Recollect that tedious morning, great
dinner, boozy afternoon, and dull eve
ming, make the sum total of English life.
II is admirable for young men who shoot,
hunt, drink and ----- but for us! how are
we to dispose of ourselves? Now were to
give you arendezvous in Europe, it should
be on the continent. i respect, as you
know, the English nation highly, and love
many individuals among them, but do not
love their manners. They are perhaps too
pure, put they are certainly too cold for my
taste. The Scotch are more agreeable to
me; but were the manners of those coun-
tries as pleasant as 80 people are respec-
table, | shouldnever be reconcled TO their
summers. Compare tho uninterrupted
warmth and splendo. Of America, from the
first of May to the last of September, and
her autumn truly celestial, with your shiv-
ering June, July and August, sometimes
warm, but often wet; your uncertain Sep.
tember, your gloomy October, and your
damnable November. Compare these
things and then say, how man who prizes
the charms Of nature, can think of making
the exchange. If you were to pass an au-
tumn with US, you would not give il for the
best six months to be found in any other
country unless indeed you should get tired
of fine weather.
You are by this time tired of my letter,
80 at length ! bid you adieu.---God bless
you. -
