bic to the numerous readers of your value
bic Journal, I embrace the opportunity now
presented. Permit me to say, in the outset,
thai I entertain no peculiar prejudices,
either on the enc side or the other. If
have ever hagbored any such, they have
been absorbed and lost in the anxiety which
7 entertain for the general welfare of my
adop.ed country.
Early il August left the Crescent City,
and during the succeeding week bade adieu
to the "Gethamites | will not speak of
the details of our voyage. Suffice it to say
we had gales a1d Gains whilst thunder,
lightning rain, and the heavy fall of water
on deck as wave would pop its head over,
filed some of the passages with feelings not
easily imagined or described. all these
mishaps, they were assured, were but the
ordinary course of mariners life; and be-
lie7ipg il true, whether it was or not, many
/ a sincere VOW was registered that one voy-
( age in a lifetime was enough, and that
nothing should inducB the grBmhler4 to re
/ turn on another trip over the bllloWY sea.

4 The plethora in the money in the Eng
! lish Market which continues to increase, Is
fully regarded as an increase of the scant
( employment for it in trade; but that evil
dence is not required TO prove the prevail
I ing commercial depression IN almost all
parts of the country but dull az trade is,
aud promises to be here matters are still
worse st the other side Of the channel, espe-
Gladly IN those districts where manufactures
and employment depend upon the supply of
American cotton. In the North of Eng
land trade is not quite so bad, as the causes
Of depression have not been brought imms-
diately to bear upon it, as IN Lancashire, ard
elsewhere where hands are only working half
time, and in some places less. The effect Of
this upon all branches of trade may be
readily conceived. The withdrawal from
circulation of half or moreiofthe earnings of
( 100000 hands in large city, nust vastly
decrease the consumption of every thing, and
this is the case in many of the great man
ufacturing counties in England. Whilst
this is palpably and incidentally the state of
affairs at home, we find the English Jour
nails hypocritically solicitous for the fancied
sufferers from starvation in the great towns
OF France sad to such an extent have they
carried this affected eomraisseratien, SO IN
biushingiY have they proclaimed the ex-
istence OF want and bread riots, where there
is not d trace of either that an Intelligent
