pwe have it on the best authority that the ac-
commodations on beard the Great Western this trip
were most miserable. The passengers were about to

the Western arrived and Power threatened to fog him.

LETTER NO. XXI.
LIvnRPooI, 10th July 1888.
am again in the place of busting business. Dur
ing the past fortnight have lived my past life
seen the scenes Of my chidhood-enjoyed all the 70
mantle emotions Of yoath-and paid that duty which
son owes an affectona,e mother and sisters. l ar
rived here last Sunday by the Glasgow steamer and,
on the day after tomorrow this letter will be on board
the Great Western, for New York. did not make
long stay in Glasgow, or in any other city in Scot
land My visit this summer cannot extend to lite
rary pilgrimage 10 the birth places of tho great spirits
of the past. have been engaged with the living
the dead by and by.
In coming down the beautiful Clyde, saw the
British Queen reposing msjsstically on the waters at
Port Glasgow. If / could should have called on
gallant Roberts, but my time is precious-very.
think it is highly probable that shall return in
packet ship to New York. / have been collecting
every book and pamphlet in England and Scotland
on the currency and trade of the two countries and
want time 10 read, study and arrange these as well
as my numerous notes and remarks made on the
wing. II 60 quietly in a packet ship, shall have
time to do that, unmolsstsd. On my return, shall
make such improvements in the Herald as will out
strip every thing in newspaper enterprise yet known.
/ have not time to describe thsm-I must execute
them.
This city land the nerhboring distrcts) is the Sc
cond great capital of England. Bristol never car
con pete with Liverpool. They may get many
steamers as will bridge the milky way, or go TO III,
moon, but Bristol will never be any thing else thar
enc Of the ports of London. Liverpool Manchester
Birmingham, and all the surrounding iewns form oAe
city, nearly as closely united the different ends Of
London are can 90 from Liverpool to Manchester
nearly as soon as can go from one end Of London
to the other England s the heart Of the commercial
world-London is one Of its ventncles and Liverpool
the other Nothing can change this state of things.
Yesterday We had accounts by the Sirius, which
sailed from New York on the 30th ult. SO far, they
are satisfactory. Every thing looks well for the fu-
ture in this quarter.
have been collecting vast quantity of informa-
ton on the cotton trade, which shall generalze and
put into shape by the time 1 return. The general
opinion is, that prices will not fall materially. The
United States and other banks will lose by their cot
ton operations but one regrets il. They can az
ford 10 lose. The profits made by their suspension
will pay the difference.
Liverpool resembles New York moro than any
other city have yet seen in Europe More beautiful
females walk the streets here than you can see in
London. Fer two days past we have had the races.
The town has been quite full, and quite gay. Yet
don't think very much Of racing in this corner OF the
world.
During my sojesrn in Liverpool the editors have
been very attentive TO ne-partlcuary the venerable
Eger.on Smith, of the Mercury, 10 whom had no
letter at all / called spon him and introduced my
self He was dclghtsd-carried me round towR-in-
trodaced me % the Exchange showed me many
other curosities. understand Mr.. Ogden, our con-
sal, is sending cut an iron steamer to New York in a
few days She is Of 40 tons burden, constructed on
the paddle priRcipe and is intended to navi-
gate the Delaware and Raritan Canal. / have
sailed the other day. They very generally think that
steam will supersede every other mode OF convey
