THACEERAY AND AMERGCA-A letter dated
London, June s, written by an Engshman,
says " Mr.. Thackeray seems much the better
for his western trip, and says he has realized
$4,000 by his lectures Having been so very
tnvorably received he means to return. and |
trust he will always continue grateful to the
country that has shown him so much confidence
and kindness, as some Of his countrymen have
been formerly SO ungrateful, that | used to say
that You should take bail from English travel
ers not to use pen and ink while in America.
Now, however, tue countries understand each
| other better, and do each other more Justice
Thackeray says that America will be equal
| in all things to Great Britain in ten years. and
surpass us in twenty years; but we must keep
| ON all our steamers to remain ahead as long as
we can, for your authors, sculptors, actors and
divines, are already snatchiug the palm of VIC
tory from us, and even your yachts are out
running us in our own seas"
