have been hard at work in this way, almost every
man, woman and child of them for three score
years. A few in cities-the growth of genera
ton-have found time TO cultivate he more ele-
CANT arts of life. They have very properly learn
ed some foreign graces, and many sensible usages
of the courtly circles Of Europe. Their polteness
is the true Sort which makes every one feel at ease
who comes within its influence. But the manners
of the great mass of tho people little studied,
though they have one unsurpassed merit Of being
based upon selfrespect-the feeling of universal
equality and individual independence--which in
spires care Of others feelings from the consdera-
ton of perfect parity OF rights among all. Such
are the United States and the people of them.
Edward Everett, a man advanced beyond the
middle age of life, who has enjoyed most honorable
Offices at home, who is a ripe scholar, an elegant
writer and an accomplished orator, is sent to Eng
land as the Ambassador of the United States. AZ
ter mole than years probation in the royal cir
Gle, he is found worthy Of an honorary degree in
Oxford University. He is invited TO receive il,
and in the act Of accepting, is insulted with UNI
measured violence by mob of the nobility and
gentry, reared under the care ofhe institution, and
assembled on the occasion. This is British cour-
tesy TO an American.
Charles Dickens, young man, successful au-
thor and nothing more al home, comes unasked 10
the United States. He is received as though the
republic of letters was organized State, and he
the chosen chief magistrate of il. Honors, public
and private, from the great and the obscure, from
manly age and lovely youth, every where greet
him and illustrate his progress. His fame vibrates
through the land, and he returns homo with the
applause and good wishes Of tens Of thousands Of
people, amongst whom he came a stranger in all
but literary name. This is American rudeness
to an Englishman.
These are two pictures, or rather the outlines
al. Ia he hath
will write an account Of his experiences in Eng
land; whether he will seize upon the personal pc
culiarties of individuals as types of national char
acter; whether he will hire police officer to pro-
tect him in pilgrimage through the dsns Of Saint
Giles, and describe the habits and morals of their
inmates as samples of the spirit and customs ofthe
Court of Saint james Even thus has Dickens
done. This is his prescn, vocation, in which he
is sustained by nearly tho whole of the British
press.

can rudeness! Ii so, we done.

LOAN TO THE UNITED STATES,

The proposals for loan, pursuant TO the re-
ceni notice Of The Secretary of The Treasury,
were opened last night after the arrival OF The
mails. The number Of competitors was great,
and much larger amount was offered than thai
required. The highest offer was si0S' 81
for 500 Of five per cent. stock Another was
made al SlOI,55 The residue was taken al
slOl,OI By several Institutions and individuals,
but chiefly by John Ward & Co, of New
York, with an option TO convert portion of The
amour, into -four per cent. stock at an equiva-
lent rate.
This evidence of the high credit of the Gov
eminent is very gratifying, and affords pleas
ing contrast 10 The state OF things, which ex-
listed within eighteen months, when a six per
cent stock was with difficulty negotiard at a
discount Of TWO and half per cent. Our gra-
tfcaton is enhanced by the consideration, that
the uhole screen MILLIONS has been taken by
our oun capitalists, without aid from those re
siding abroad. The latter will discover sooner
or later, that any efforts to coerce this Govern
menl into measures which IL has no authority 10
adopt, if any shall have been or shall be made,
will be fuitless.
