Mr.. EDlroR-I was very highly gratifed with

that odious monopoly, 8" The Jersey City Ferry
Co." fully agree with you that the Council
should renew the charter with different condi-
tons than those which tbs now held. My BUSH
ness calls me to Jersey City every day, and occa-
sionaly twice and forsooth, because live in
New York, l must pay sxpence each

srrd, and odiously unjust, not 10 allow New
Workers to commute on the same terms as persons
residing in New Jersey. The man who has
charge of the Ferry at this end, frequently de-
tains the boat five minutes after the time. These
abuses should noe exist, and the Council should

Foreign Manners In America.

"Trollope." English travellers in this country
are very lavish in their structures on the uncouth
manners and offensive habits which they attribute
to Americans, without offering one word in exien-
uation of native rudeness and Ill breeding, which
we most devoutly wish might be reformed alto
gether" 1t is impossible TO avoid noticing the FREE
quent breaches Of decorum ofwhich strangers are
guilty. What can be thought of man, who, in
a public reading room, the resort of our most re-
spectacle citizens and strangers of distinction, in
troduced by them, is seen with his boots in luxu-
riously cushioned chair, or thrown over the cor
ner ofsa table? Does a monarchcal education
justify its possessor in nduging in such place in
a nap, while he accompanies himself with n vo.
luntary on the nasal organ? We ask for informal
