who travelled with us from Dublin to Belfast,
been stopping at the s Commercial Inns" at Bel
fast. Greenock, and Glasgow. This By means
Of a sort of ozark" as the ostler at York called
the "pass''vthat Z" Jim Radcliffe gave "Jeanie
Deans, when she started for London, has intro
duced us to the Commercial Gentlemen" a
class unknown in America. These gentlemen
are the Agents of the large Manufacturing and
Commercial Houses, who are constantly travel
ing through the large towns in England, Wales,
Ireland and Scotland. The mode of purchasing
goods, you will perceive, differs entirely from
ours Country merchants do not go (as IN Amer
ica to New ork Boston, Philadelphia or Balll-
more to London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Shei-
field, Manchester, Leeds, &c. to purchase goods,
but the manufacturers and importers send Agents
with samples and prices throughout the hng-
dom, from whom the goods are purchased, gene
rally on time, and to whom, when the paper ma
lures, payment is made. The country or interior
merchant therefore seldom if ever goes TO the
commercial or manufacturing cities. =.
These Commercial Gentlemen" as you VIII
suppose, arc active, intelligent, conversapie,
shrcwd plausible men, There is a Commercial
Room at the Inns they frequent, where they 50
far depart from the English mode OF living at
Hotels as TO dine together. This affords me an
opportunity of hearing much that both interests
and amuscs. The Senior (or the gentleman who
has been longest at the Inn takes the head OF the
table, and is addressed as " Mr. President
The President orders what VINE as much or little
as he pleases. Until the meats " sweets and
chceses have been removed, the conversation IS
confined to matters of business. After the cloth
has been removed and the wine returned, the
President gives 1.-The Queea." This is followed
by The Ladies'" from the Vice President, ana
then The conversation becomes general, discur-
siye and lively. They have been exceedingly
attentive and kind to us. The first and last IN
curry Of an American, is whether our larif VIII
be modified If those on our side OF the Atlan-
tic could hear Engshmen, manufacturers ana
merchants talk upon this subject, we should hear
no more Of the argument that Duties upon I'M
portations are tax upon the consumers l am
amazed that this fallacy can mislead and deude
intelligent men.
In stroll this evening, we came IN front OF
dimly lighted building, at a window of which
the Manager Of Company of strollers was cx-
pressing his mingled emotions of astonlshment
and modification that so many gentlemen should
be content to deprive themselves of the exquisite
enjoyment Of seeing the popular tragedy of DouG-
LASS, the part of Young Norval' by MIR: Box
ley, the modern GARRIcK, who even bid fair to
surpass that great, Dramatic master: and cspe-
cially when he repeated, what he had the honor
of assuring them before, that this truly thrilling
tragedy, with the inimitable farce of the Re-
view," and Scotch Reel by Miss Fitz Allan,
could all be seen for ONE PENNY..''
Unmoved by this moving appeal we passed
along to the Circus, where we most Unexpectedly
(for we had not seen the bills encountered
troupe of familiar faces, among whom were those
of two of the Columbian Minstrcls,'' who were
our fellow passengers in the George Washington,
BANcKER, the inimitable clown, Master COOKE,
the Equestrian, &c. sc. The Company, be-
lieve, is in charge of Mr.. WALSH, of Westches
ter, whom we know as an enterprising, reputable
man. There were from $500 to 5000 persons
in the Circus.
