.s-'-s---.zs,- N-y-w-,-ry--- as witness the great Docks at London,
 We arrived here during the throes of general election; the excitement was very great; streets and street corners wers crowded with people anxious for
 the latest returns, The Conservatives, as the English say, have been Kicked out" and sent ito grass" the great Un- ion party have now one hundred and fifty majority; there has been great upheaval of the whole nation; every one l have met has been a Unionist; have not met one of the old party, Such ex- citement have never seen in the Uni-
 ted States in election times.
 A word as to the Almighty Dollar" I believe it was Washington Irving who coined this expression in reference to the love of money by all in America. l lived years among the English i'm the
 oldest colony which Great Britain pos
 sesses, and know that the average
 Englishman adores an English six
 pence. The English are great traders
 and famous dealers and operators in
 the markets of the world and cut closer
 
 Where an Englishman spends siXpence
 an American will spend a dollar. The love of money is quite as strong or
 stronger i'm the Englishman than with his cousin over the sea. European
 bankers state that the Americans spend an amount more than equal to one hum dred million dollars, a'vast sum which
 ought to be kept in the United States The English spend a larger amount fn
 Europe, for their number is very great.
 The continent lies but two hours dis | tant from England and the English fairly swarm all over the continent.
 The parks of London are very beauti- | full; Regents Park, St. James Park,
 Green Park, Victoria Park, Hyde Park
 and Kensington Gardens are very love- | ly. and there are numberless parks and public squares.
 | It is delight to watch the fine car
 riages passing through Hyde Park,
 Rotten Row is the finest riding avenue in the world; it is just inside Hyde Park gates, near Hyde Park corner. It IS daily crowded with many lady and gen | tlemen riders. The drive is filled with | handsome carriages driven by pow dered and bewigged coachmen; the
 Lady's mile is where the coaching clubs and hand clubs meet. No place | in the world can show the beautiful
 women and stylish turn-outs that can be seen in Hyde Park every afternoon. | A few mornings since I went there to see the review of the Foot Guards by the Duke of Cambridge; there were four battalions and it was the last occasion
 His Royal Highness will be present as head of the army, and great number of officers and ladies and gentlemen were present to look on. At the salu- ting point were Prince Edward of Saxe-
 Weimar, Lord William Seymour, Gene
 ral Herbert and many distinguished of ficers. Lord Methuen was in command
 of the first and second Grenadier
 Guards, the first Coldstreams and sec
 ond Scotts altogether twenty-five hun
 dred men, who were in their best and
 brightest uniforms. The battalions
 stood in quarter columns to receive the
 commander-in-chi with royal salute.
 The commander was attended by Sir
 Redvers Butler, Sir Evlyn Wood and Lord Falmouth. The drill seemed abso- lutely perfect and such precision, such firing and marching I have never before witnessed. The tall beef-fed soldiers in bright scarlet, wearing their great buskins, made a very fine appearance.
 They certainly have no equal in soldier | ly bearing in any country in Europe. | The march past closed with a grand
 movement in line with quarter columns as military men style it, after which the musketry and bayonet exercise were performed very efficiently.
 | Now came the volley firing when | twenty-five hundred muskets sounded as they were discharged like a single great musket; then followed the inspec- tion, ending with am advance and royal salute. The duke rode out to the brig l ade and commended them for their good qualities. When the royal stand ards were lowered and the band played God Save the Queen" off came the of- ficers' hats and thousands of spectators
 doffed their hats, and for moment all was silent when the review was pro nounced over. England is proud of her soldiers and of her sailors; one cam see that they feel "cockey."
 "They have the ships, they have the men, and they have the money, too ? and it is palpable that England is well aware of this fact. VIATOR.
