and this is the first point Of any impor-
lance at which the traveller on his tour to
the East, usually calls halt, Of course, he
uatti, but every country opposed 10 slavery,
is bound to see in the people, their habits,
manners and pursuits, many things to con-
denim, while few are presented for his ad.
miration. From the cursory view which
have been enabled to take Of the place and
people, as we'll as from the observation oil
others, am disposed TO look upon them as
cold, selfish and grasping-gamblers by ma
ture-and probably their schemes OF Gam
bling are less daring and adventurous Inan
their brethren of the same species in New
York. This may be attributable to various
causes, but as | have not space at present
TO enter into detail-and may have occasion
to advert to the subject at some future
period, shall dismiss the matter with one or
two observations upon the Distinguishing
features that characterize the Wall street
and Cincinnati brokers.
In the first place, they (the Cln.) have
not the same facllty-thelr means are not
adequate to- the end--and consequently
what we view in the Wall street broker, as
the result of protracted series OF tricks
and frauds admirably combined, and so har-
monously arranged, as to defy the scrutiny
of the most practised in the art of legerde-
main, sink into petty insgnlfcance when
attempted by the Cincinnati money chan
ger, whose whole soul appears TO be con-
centrated upon the accumulation OF picks
and lerieS, without the hazard attendant on
those large speculdtons, that are part and
parcel of the Wall street brokers existence.
The two classes may be compared-the
one to those extensive gambling houses in
New Orleans, whose tables are groaning
with the accumulated load of Bank bills,
gold and silver, spread out in the most al
Turing manner, to attract and entrap the less
experienced gambler:--while at the other
end may be seen the low and vulgar chuck
luck board-where the stakes are picks, and
where by the aid Of tricks and false die, the
children and those who have but little to
spend, can find amusement, and prepare
themselves for entering upon the more bu-
sy and huctuating scenes with which their
ewes are Toasted at a distance. This then
is the difference-the first is a gambler
on a magnificent scale, the other drives a
sure and steady business as dealer in
small notions The ono relieves you at a
single throw of all you possess-the other
arrives at the same end, though by process
more gradual, but equally certain. To
proceed, hewever, the first object of a stran-
ger, on visiting new place, is to see the
,rorld which it contains. With this view
strolIed through the city. Saw Mrs. Troll
lope's folly, upon which such extravagant
encomiums were bestowed by the redoubt-
ed Colonel Hamilton, X G. B., who AYERS
that il is the only building in the U. States
worthy the attention of foreigner; and
charges the Cincinnatians with a cold, sell
fish, and savage taste, because they canno
appreciate the Iabors of one who has sacri
feed so much for the improvement of the

called by such name, that sets at def

tirely out Of taste. 1t has neither beaut,
nor grandeur, but looks like .jumbling to
pether of the confused creations of min
laboring under partial hallucination. A
present it is not used, and am informe
that it is only put in requisition during tn
winter season as an eating and drlnkin
house-the resort of the idle and dissipateC
and not the the gay and fashionable retres
