I AM going on to Rome in a day or, two ; so you must accept a rapid and fragmentary sketch of what I have seen, as the`best I can give you. at.'preSent. When I return fora more leisurely stay in Paris and London, I can send you- : a mere faithful and ,minute transcript orEttroPeart life inzreat cities. On. Tuesday, the 13th instant, land was de scried by the sailors at -4 P. M. We went down to dinner, and on returning, about 6 P. M., we saw; nmistakably the rocky head lands of Ireland. The 'A Skellig" was in full'view, purple in the rays of the setting sun, and far in-the perspective loomed a con tinuous range of mountains.. No one who has riot felt it can -understand the strange, boyish, delight one =feels on 'seeing land once more after.the „dull monotony of a sea-voy age. Every, face was brighter, and conver sation became:-animated all over the ship. Queensteinlharber was reached Wednesday, at B,AOM. l' , Tis,:one, of the ,loveliest and most capacious t harbors In the _world. The green sloping t banks, the fortifications,.the Martelle tower, all presented a novel and, re freshipg spectacle to the eye. 'We landed at Liverpool about 9 o'clock, A. M., Thursday'. There vas no mistaking now our being if a Eurefiban eity. The solid, massive; yet gray and dingy the novel appearance of stores andt,Vehicles t the unmistakably Eng lish faces evbitywhere ,ieen, made it , vividly manifest that we were in a newatind different world. .Bret kfastingin Liverpool, where we'' had a first taste of the famous "'English mutton," and taking-but a passing view of St. George,s-liall, andlheinagnificent docks which are the pride of this eommetchil ;metro polls, we probeed'ed at ence .to Londen.-. can hardly do" juhtion,in a few lines,r , to the beautiful rural ,scenery ; through which passed. Well, has Emerson , described it as finished with the pencil rather than the plough." There is, indeed, an exquisite finiat about everything that makes the whole tountrt look like a succession 'of parks and gardens. The green hedges are white with their May blossoms, the birds flitting in and out among them; the broad, level ,pasture lands, lush, with verdure, and greener than the greenest emerald ; the sweet country lanes, so like what wetread of in 'the English poets ; Ithe fine sheep' and,'. cattle: reposing under the trees, and giving life to:the fuirest of rural. scenery, all combine to form a most refreshing and eahilirating prospect. 'Every thing aroniiit na'-itas siiggestive of Sumhier lovehness , and rural plenty. Perhaps the en thusiasm of my description may be particu larly attributable to the pleasant contrast between the gray monotony of, the sea and the lively variety of the country, made green and frul tfil by the showers of Spring. i • Still there is an intrinsic beauty after its lind-in English scenery. We can show more in Ame rica; we have bolder, mountains, rieher for esti,broader,rivers,,and a country fir gran r der , in reaoareetli 'of ' every kind, but nothing as yet, so sweetly sttggestive of rural tran quility, atbilreposellaii breathes among =the quiet lanolin& hedges,of Old England. I must. postpose a description of London till I have ~M ore' leisure to see. and describe it. The buildings„though- hie& with smoke and gray with ago, are generally imposing and substantial. There seems to be no erec tion of nevi eflifibes ; is cotopleted 7 You tread en 'pavements' where generations' long since dead, have passed along. You look on walls which ; the greatest names in , British story have gazed upon. There is something traditional, and ,ancient about everything, which inspires a kind of reverential interest. You move among churchei, mbhuments, and squares, that are hoary and venerable with old associations, iu Ifienderh tltere.iS no pee street which , gathers all the dignity and wealth of the city. Almost every street is a Chestnut street' or a 13roadway. Enormous wealth seems to flaunt itself in the crowded windows of every store. What struck Me peculiarly, also; was the affluent Manner , in which the rlistaurants and` , .grocery;.stores were fitted up. a :Beef' and :glutton. in Amer ica are nowhere when compared to the; of London in this line. Fruits, such as oranges, figiritrains, nuts, etc., areef fi nest quality ea& very 'cheap. I'never 'ate such oranges as •are-proeurable thereat one penny (two eentli)Japiece. • My hotel beingiin,iiightlofthadotne of St.: Paul's, I took early-occasion tolvisit-ttliat ve nerable cathedral.

' Thuadornments of the building, and particularly of the throne,. where the 'Queen 'presides on the opening of Parliament; werevery rich and magnificent'. I shall hive more 'to say .at a future 'time about the Parliament Buildings, and' also of Westminster Abbey. _ It would seemiromthe English papers, that Parliament has lately .put itself in a, ridiou lons light before the world, by instituting : a " rifle. match'" between the Houses.

The:papers ate - coking , fun of The idea Ives to'endourage volunteer rifle associations throughout the country, by giving them the patronage of Parliament. I must say a word about Mr. Spurgeon, whom I heard on Sabbath morning. The edi fice, thdugh new,, has the Appearance exter nally, of age. It;is .a huge. structure, by nd means so beautiful as a specimen of _archi tecture, as I had expected to- find : it.. We Waited, without some -twenty minutes, and at thedoors were thrown open to adniit the crowd, which, by that time, had gathered in* large numbers. The interior of the edifice is oval in structure, with three galleries run ning entiiely around the building. - It seems well adapted both for space and sound. By shouldering my wayi! among the crowd, I seoired; with my *iend;,U:ferKiligibla seat in front, and within a few yards.of%the pulpit. At"hl o'ClOck, Mr. Spurgeon appeared on in, elevated platforin—his choir being on a Platform ,below him, and nearly level, with the audience, :and, made a brief invocation. Re then read a hymn, requesting that it'be sung " joyously," and' to the'" stirring tune of:Fairfield. After singing, which was, ell rendered by'the7Whole Congregation, Mr. Spurgeon requested -‘Lthose inthe, seat-s_-to make as ,much room as, possible, as our friends, are inconveniently crowded in the aisles. He then read and commented on Romans iyi. He remarked that this was a record net of doctrines, but of; persons. Ile went on in a brief way commenting verse by verse d seemed to interest the audience quite as .1i eh here as in the sermon. AsAti il lustration of his manner; I give you. this.
