H. p WILLS in his letter of last Friday to the
National Intehgencer, thus describes morn
ing in our great thorOus hfare:
al stroed up Broadway between nine and ten.
and encountered the morning tide doacn; and IT
YOU never have studied the physiegnomy OF this
Great ,horoucf!are in its various Auxes and re-
tInxes, the differences would amuse you lhe
clerks and warkies have passed down an hour be-
fore tho vine o'clock tide, and the sidewalk Is
filed at this Tim, with bankers, and spectators
bound te Wall-street; old merchants and junior
nartsers bound to Pearl and Water; and lawyers,
Young and old, bound for Nassau and Fine. An,
the faces of care! The days operations are
working out in their eyes; their hats are pitched
forward at the angle of stage coach with all the
lead on the drivers seat, their shoulders are
raised with the shrug Of anxiety, their steps are
hurried and short, and mortal face and gait could
scarcely express heavier burden OF socltude
than every man seems to bear. They noo TO you
without a smile, and with kind OF unconscious
recognition, and, if you,are unascastomed to walS
out at that hour, you might fancy that, II there
were not some grea, public calamity your friends,
ct least, had done smiling on you. Walk as Tar
ss Nibo's, stop at the greenhouse there, and
breathe an hour in the delicious atmosphere of
aowering plants and then return. There Ia no
longer any particular crrrent in Broadway tor-
eieners coming out from the cafes, after their
late breakfast, and idling up and down tor fresh
air; country people shopping early; iades gsias
:, heir dress.makers in close wells and deml-
1,;le,tes; erranei boys, newsboys, duns, and doc
,nrs make up the ,hroug. Toward twelve O CLOCK
,hs,c 10 sprnkng OF mechanics gong to din-
,er--a merry short iacheted, independent looking
trgon. glancing ssily at the women as they pass,
md disappearing around corners and up alleys.
And an hour later Broadway begins to brighten.
The o,nnibuses 60 along empty, ard at slow
pace. for people would rather walk than ride. lhe
side streets are tributaries OF silks ana veivets,
flowers and feathers, to the great tAoVoughta1e I,
and ladies' whose proper mates Judgeing oy the
dress alone) should be the lords and princes ana
dandes, shoppers, and lcungers OF every descIiP-
tion take crowded possession OF the pare. "A.
nine o'clock yos look into the troubled races OF
men going to theh business, and ask yourself : 70
what end is all This surdeR of care and at two
you gaze on the UNIVERSAL prodgality of exterior,
and wonder what fills ,he multitude of pockets
tha, nav for it! The hces are beautiful, the
shops are ,hronged, the sidewalks crowded for an
hour and then the fall tide tusea. and sets upward.
The most of those whe are outM three are bound
to the upper part of the city to dse, and the mer
chants and LAWYERS. excited by COLLISION and con-
,e,t above the depression OF care, hin, smiling,
in The ,hrong. The physiosnomy of tie crowd is
at i,s brightest. Dinner is the smile OF the day
to most people, and the hour approaches. What
ever has ha opened in stocks or politics. wpnssyer
