LONDON, July /.
Nix DEAR MoRRis:-llaving some dc.
lay in giving my lt,le lmocen her first
; English dinner, We saved our passage by
half a minute, ind were of from Liverpool
n, precisely. Tho distance is, | believe,
200 miles, aud we did II in five hougs--an
acceleralion Of speed which is lately miro
duced upon The English railways There
are slower trains on the Same route, and
the price by these, IS less. There ore also
three or four different Linds Of each train,
and a, dliItren, prices CHANGED TO ligh,
upon the frs, class, ane paid f5 for two
placcs--my nurse aud child coming as one
| understand, since, thut many gentlemen
and ladies OF the mos, respectable rank take
the second class cars-(as few Americans
would. | am sorry 10 say, though there
would betwo degrees below lhem)
This travelling al forty odd miles the
hour, gives ones eyes hardly time 10 know
a tree from COW, but here and there 60,
distant view in crossing valley and re.
cognized the Lowell y rural beauty ofEng land
The first impression Of which lasts one,
like an enchanted memory, through life -
Notwithstanding the great speed, the cars
= run so evenly on their admirable rails, that
there was no jar 10 prevent ones sleeping
or being comfortable, and | nwoke from 4
r very pleasant dream 10 fad myself in Lon

As was dressing to dine out on the fox
lowing day | stopped lvlng nv craval lc
send for II physician and here, # YOU please
. we will make II jump over twelve days, am
come 10 bright morulng when vas e
out for walk IN Regent street.
II is extraordinary how little the Englisl
, change Regent street, after four or nv
d, years is exactly what Regent street icas =
q The men have the same tlght crava,s. coat
/, too small, ovcrbrushcd whiskers, and lool
c Of beng excessively washed. The cal
n rlagcs and horses exactly Tie same III
e cheap shops have the same parcels Of Sci
p. LING orr III their broad windows Tn
. blind bcEgars tell the same story, and ar
e led by the same dogs but wha, is strange
Z than all his samcncss, is that the iadtc
c look the same The fashions have per
haps chnnscd--in the miiliners shops -
c But the I'm Gushing that is done 10 Frcnc
s bonnels after they are bought, or the Er
1t gish way IN which they arc worn, over
n powers the novelty and gives the fair occu
. pants Of he splendid carriages ofLondon Ii
&c very same look they had ten years ago.
- Still, there are same Sigh, difference
&c observable in the streets and among othcri
n | observe that the economical private cat
>. rage called "Brougham," is very con
0 mon. There are low cabs, holding Two q
:, four nelson's with a driver, and perhaps
IT foo,man IN livery on the outside scat, an
1 one horse seems to do the wor!, as well q
is two. TIN, fashion would be well, in,r
" duccd into New York-lhal is 10 say.

n. drive anything but q dire necessity
ne The pavement Of London is really mo
admirable Vas city as 1t IS the sire,

as nde is indeed luxury. The break.necI
OF hal.jnmmlng and dislocalinG Jolls Of Broa

e. o1cusatle stain on our public spin, An
l. apropas Of paving wooden pavcmen
be seem 10 be enlirel out Of favor Rege
G. street is lad out 10 wooden blocks and
