PUBLIC FEELING IN ENGLAND TOWARDS AMER.
IcA.-The London correspondent of the New
York Courier writes that public feeling IN Eng
land towards America it exceedingly friendly
since the recent war bubble burst. He says:
An incident Of considerable significance, as
eyincing the genuine feeling Of the most infuen-
tial and respectable of the population Of London
towards the United States, occurred at Guildhall
on Tuesday last, at the visit Of the King of Sar-
DINA to the city. When Mr.. Buchanan was an
nounced he was received with loud enthusiastic
cheering, which lasted for some time. This
spontaneous outburst Of popular favor was so de-
cided as to command the attention of every per-
son in that vast concourse. 1t was so marked,
indeed, that even those public journals which
systematically treat America and Americans with
GOODNESS and Indifference could not fail to speak
of it,

this year, in the United States, will fall little
short of two hundred millions of dollars, or

the number OF swine raised in various countries,
as nearly as can be ascertained In the United

In Great Britain, the number is estimated at

about 100000 swine, and Austrian Italy $780,

MISTAKES OF A NIGHr-The following ludi

night train from New York. Two married cou
pie took their seat in the cars at New Yorl
bound for Boston, in close proximity, and abOu
8 o'clock they both INDUCED in balniy slumbers
the heads of their wives resting upon their hus
bands shoulders. When the cars reached Wor
cester, the gentlemen stepped out, and the la
dies, apparently exhausted, slept on. The delay
was brief, and on entering the cars, the hus
bands whose eyes were scarcely opened, ex.
changed seats, and in few moments resumed
their natural positions and were in the land OF
dreams. At Framn CHAM the cars stopped
again, when one of the ladies asked: a g = ID II

their dissatisfaction. They affix the post stamps
which bear Napoleons head, on their letters head
downwards. So extensively has this become the
sign of opposition, that four-ffths of all the let
