The change from the stiffness Of Philadelphia
to the confusion Of this emporium is very great,
and if those persons in Philadelphia who are
constantly oarping at the prosperity Of New
York, and endeavOring to make it appear, to
use their inelegant expression, that we are a

the fearful risk os a loss Of life from omnibusss
and drays in crossing the streets, they would
at once acknowledge the grain, and " render
unto Caesar the things that are C@sar's.''-
But where /" ignOrance is bliss it is folly to
be wise,'' and those capitalists in our sister city
who are so ignorant Of our true greatness, have
a luxury Of thought that wisdom would seTi-
