[For the Rezrosnal A TRIP AOROBB Tip WATER, No. %XXV: 1 .! Where has conunoroe such a mart, So rich, so throned, so drain% and so 'applied As Loxrpon—oprdent, onlergedArd still Increasing London I"--Cbttper: Resuming here the regular order of events and obiervations of travel from No. XXX., I proceed to impress upon the mind of the reader the fait that it was at a late hour of one Sat- nulay night in July, when in compa ny with my friend, Mr. Forster, I ar rived for the first time in the city of London. Oar trip through from Liverpool had been direct, and, too rapid, even if wholly by daylight, to afford much of interest. From the Railway Station we took passage to the Queen's Hotel, St. tins-le-Grand, by a conveyanoe which seems a sort of special institu tion of the Great Metropolis, and known as a "Hansom Cab"' deriving its name not from any peculiar beau ty of construction, but from its in ventor.• Suffice it to say that the Hansom Cab is a sort.of chaise, -with a scat calculated for• two passenger while the driver mounts behind and, the reins pass over the top. Passen gers not accustomed to the vehicle, have before now been decidedly pan ic stricken on seating, themselves therein and witnessing its hasty de parture with no driver in sight. We bad - *several rapid miles of " Loudon by gas-light" from the Railway Station to our hotel ; situat ed as are the two iastitutions in re- mote quarters of till's famous old town, with its dimensions of eight miles by six. The Queen's Hotel is one of the best and most frequented in the "East End," or what is known as "the City " .proper ; being tho original town, formerly enclosed with walls, portions of which still. exist, though built in the days of the Roman con qUest. In the office of the Queen's, as well as of many other London ho tels,. the Americas may be a little surprised on noticing that the clerks are mostly young women—good look ing and undoubtedly smart. They assign to tho guest his room, trans mit orders to tho, various depart ments, make out and receive pay ment of bills, and in fact manage for tho most part the adtainistiation and financial concerns of tho establish- ment, with such proniptnese --and 'self-possession as to render it evi dent that they are mistresses of the situation—if not its masters; while the waiters at table (where meals are served mostly a-la-carte, the account kept not only for each day, but 'for each meal of whatever is ordered) are for the most part of the other sex, and the lords of _creation thus take a "lower room " at the feast While thieves and burglars abound without doubt in London, and while some of the most accomplished of the profession in our own country are importations from England, yet it is certain that there is more secu- city felt and less caution needed, in a London than in a New York hutch The injunction, so common at :the latter, to " lock the door of your room and leave the key at the office," is seldom if over given at the former; in fact, at respectable boarding houses of the Groat City, the stran ger is sometimes quite disconcerted on discovering, when he retires for the night, that there is absolutely no lock on his door, but soon finds he can sleep quite as soundly without ; while only at the great railway sta tion of London Bridge, with its im mense 'aid bustling throngs, did I ever see in that city the notice so common at our own " depots " "Beware of pickpockets." Taking ns by and large, we Ameri cans are undoubtedly a very honest people; yet when we get abroad, we i somehow find ourselves less impress ed with the necessity of looking after the honesty of others. Otherwise almost without the shadow of an acquaintance in Lon don, I had great reason to congratu late myself on that of my friend, Mr. F., whom I had met so unexpectedly in The advantages were indirect as well as diiect; for he had in London another friend and fellow traveler, Mr. G., of St. Louis; who in his turn, had an uncle, Capt. 0., re siding iu the city, with whom he tar ried. The Captain had been former ly " conebrned in navigation," as they say "down East," but had now .for some }ears retired on a pomp tency. Considering the strange lack of information which I had frequent occasion to notice among Oven. old residents and natives; m regard to other portions of the city than that in which they chanced to live, it may be said the. Capt: 0., for a London er, certainly understood London well. 'Furthermore, heliad the leisure aud inelinatiou to give us, day after day, the full advantage of his friendly guidance and companionship, during the week we spent at The Queen's. In Oft sentiments of gratitude which I shall ever feel for my own partici pation in these kind attentions, Mr. G. comes in for an undoubted share; het this will not prevent the mention ere of a circumstance occasioning me some little surprise, as illustra tive of what may be the ideas of even an intelligent; American-born citizen. This, was the fact that the stay of my two St. - Louis friends in London, was protracted for several days by, a failure in the expected arrival there of certain - articles-purchased by lir. G., dhring a then recent visit to- the Imperial City ; he had left them there, to be forwarded to him in England, so soon as His Holiness, Pink IT., should find time to bestow ,upon them his blessing ! —To such as might ba desirous While in London, of getting their let ters at the General Post Office, at tending services at St. Paul's, and transacting business -with the Bank of England, our "quexters afforded peculiar advantages, being in their near vicinity. The General Post Office, standing nearly opposite The Queen's, on the eastern side of Aldersgate Street, is a building of magnificent dimensions, of the lonic style of architectare, and with a lofty central portico. incase vehicles laden with nulla, and drawn by from 4 to 6 horses, arrive and depart frequently through the day. 'No less than 700,000,000 of letters, it bi said, ate annually o der t - avid hero; 160,000,000 for n alone, the postal revenue being about eighteen millions of dollar& A short walk south, in the direc tion of the Thames, bringsns to St. Paul's: Cathedral Standing in a somewhat'eleiated position on-Lud gate Hill, its lofty dome constitutes the most , prominent object in the vie* of the city from without as well as within.. As with many other large cathedrals and churches, its form re that of a cross ; its dimensions are 514 feet in length by 287 in width ; and the style. of its architecture Cor inthian and composite. Grand as is its general appearance, the beauty of the building is much marred by the partiel disooloratiCri of its outer srix. face. " This might be attributed to the proverbially murky atmosphere of the densely built city that hems it in on all sides; but such an inflnence, it would seem, should at least not in terfere with a uniformity of color— lwhich, whatever it might be, would still seem preferable to the dark and irregular streaks and blotches that alternate so disagreeably with the originally light color of the Portland stone. The building was began in 1675, and completed in 1710. If we reflect that on the Continent, hundreds of years and a succession of generations are often occupied in the completion of similar edifices, it is a little re markable to note that this great building was commenced and cone, pleted under the same bishop, the same architect and the same mason. Enghmd has however enjoyed a more regular administration and longer intervali of uninterrupted peace at home, than most - Continental coun tries, arid the estimated expense of completing the a nyeat Cologne Cathe dral, commenced in the thirteenth century, is oven now as great as was the entire cost of St. Paul's. If the men who were concerned in its con struction lasted well, still morel may be said t of the special tax upon coal which *as laid to meet its cos,; for although the church has long 'been built aid paid for, the tax is still continued. It was found that the money thus raised would be quite convenient for other public purposes; and the people having become accas torsed to the burden, probably forgot its ' l criginal object,. and still continue to pay it. Among the numerous splendid monuments which adorn the grand interior, are those of Dr. Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Bishop Heber, John Howard, Admiral Nelson and Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of the building. That of the , last bears the appropriate inscription : Si imonument um requiris ciretmpice. Together with the remains of Nelson, and such famous artists as Reynolds, Lawrence and Barry, those also of Benjamin West, a native of Pennsyl vania, whose paintings com .. • idea such admiration at home and ab ad, are interred in the vault beneath, Three Services are held each clay during the week, and the church is for the most part open through the day to the immense number of visi tors who throng thither. At a cost of about one dollar -in money and 600 steps , upward, you roach - the great hollow ball at the summit, whence is to be had,in clear weather, a magnificent view of the city. Here, too, is the great Cathedral bell, some ten Net in diameter. It strikes the horire, and is to be heard not only within, but far without the city, and is never tolled save on the death of some member of the Royal family. Yon are al io shown. the Whispering Gallery and the tombs and crypts beneath. Another church edrfice,built hun dreds! of years before the Norman conquest, originally Occupied the present_ site ;1 it was probably more isolated frond the haunts of traffic; St.. Haul's being now separated o either side only by narrow streets from the busy hum of trade. Do not therefore contemplate a meditation among the tombs in what is known as " St Paul's Churchyard;" it being merely a resort for fashionable shop ing, where all tho vanities and allure ments of silks, shawls, and gay ma terials of dress are sought lifter by the crowd who have "nothing to wear." This groat temple of the Most , High stands literally in the midst of a Vanity Fair; its situation may however be considered quite as appropriate as that of Trinity Church, looking deism upon the intrigues of Wall street. The chief extent of London:is east and west, corresponding mainly with the course of , the Thames river, on both sides of which the city is built. In the same 'general direction, two or three lines of its most important thoroughfares entirely traverse the main portion of the city, (being that lying in the County of Middlesex, and north of the river which sepa rates Middlesex from Surrey). These -thronged avenues, though for long distances and to all intents and pnr poseii the same, are divided by name into various well known streets.' Thus' the magnificent street known at the " West End " as Oxford street, changes its name repeatedly before reaching SL Paul's ; while the "Strand" with a;_similar eastward 1 course, and pasiring nearer the Thames, originatei at Charing Cross; at Temple Bar it bet:rues Fleet street, and opposite Bladkfriar's Bridge the name again changes . to Lnagato gill. The two lines con verge at St. Paul's; and proceeding thence in a nearly: direct line east ward,,we find ourselves successively in Cheapaide, Poultry, Conthill and Leadenll streets. Farther on are Aldfate and Whitechapel, Which are again swallowed ep in 7ilile End Road. Bishop's (late Street inter sects from the north, as a division between Cornhill. and Leadonhall streets; it isi part; of an important route, crossing Leaden Bridge and havhig nearly the same direction through the entire city north ant? south, but with no less than . fourtec) different 'mimics in its various divis ions. -In the vieil above mentii nog An QUIISIX of streets, lanai, alleys, and courts, and in offices which are often suffi ciently dark and narrow, transpire the great moneyed transactions of the Metropolis, and with it, often of Great Britain and the world. Here are the solid men of London, its wealthy companies and long estab liahed.banking horses—to find any particular one of which, even after you have once or twice succeeded, is not always an easy task. Near by, too, are many of the City's time honored institutions, such as Guild the Ho Exchange, the old. Ehall, ye ast India House, the Mansion House (supposed to be the Lord Mayor's residence) and the Bank of :A. ! land. Sufficiently heavy, gloomy, an . antiquated, beneath an ordinary Landon atmosphere, is the general prospect. The Bank of England,' with more of solidity than of beauty in its general appearance, covers, together with its worts, an extent of about eight acres of ground. About 1,000 clerks are here employed; the reve nues of the Government are deposit ed here, and the payments of interest made on the various clues of ,Gov ernment stock, constituting the in vestments of so many of its subjects. The printing of its own notes, etc., is executed by steaut.power, within the walls of the Bank. Tb• notes of the Bank, which are never of a less denomination than £1 sterling, are in very plain style, and without vignette. On present ing one at the Bank for payment, you are required to endorse your name and residence; a memorandum of the bill is then made by the clerk; and a corner torn off ; proceeding thence with it to another counter, you receive the value in coin. Notes of the Bank are never re-issued. The visitor becomes bewildered in traversing its numerous offices and . departments. Amid the immense in tenets of consols, bills and bullion, an occasional touch of nature and-of taste is yet displayed ; in the passage from one department to another, you may here and there cross some little court with its green lawn, graceful foulain, or gay parterre of flowers. C. C. P.': Gen. Stephen Parlbut, in his great speech at Springfield, 111., turned aside for the moment, from the main line of his argument, to narrate the. following '' I will WI you one or two things about General Grant that are worth knowing. I will show you something of his char acter. You know, all of ,you, that when the battle of Pittsburg. Land ing occurred, Gen.',Grant was charg ed by all the newspapers, and Ey nearly the whole country, if I may so speak, with gross neglect of duty in nptheing ' there when the battle commenced. Now I happen to know, something about that battle myself. My own division was the first troops that were landed, and we hold it ; and I know lthe ground, I believe, better than anybody else. As a mat ter of fact, Gen. Grant has lain still daring all this time under the ob loquy which has been heaped ripen him, and which probably will, l?e vain.; of going down to Savannah on the Saturday night previous, and not returning until the battle was over. Iknow that he sent an officer out on Saturday night to inquire whether or not- there was anything showing along the front, Oat 4 0 wanted to go down to-hurry Buall's troops up from SaTannah, and got the report that a reconnoissance was made by the cavalry, ank there was no sight of the enemy. Now, we know that the enemy lay there with in two miles of us, but Gen. Giant, rather than bring that trouble on * friend and , a {brother officer, IMO' published this, nor has it been pI fished by anybody else. Look t another thing, which shows the m - namimity of his character. When he' ndertook the feat around Vicki,- burg, Gen. Sherman sent Gen.,Grart a written protest against the move ment upon the ground that it was dangerous and impracticable, an Would probably cost hip his whole d army. Gen. Grant - never hiecl that. lie went on, executed e movement, and when the success f it was demonstrated, he sent Willis T. Sherman his original protest b again, and would not keep it on minutes, and William T.

Oanvention at Rome, August 23, Although Woman are not allowed to vote, 'know that they feel interest ed in the local option law ; and could you look into the homes all through this Commonwealth, you would find woman earnestly doing her work there in educating those who shall Yet vote dorm this monster evil in our land. And in the establishing of temperance organizations, woman has taken Di active a part, that I hear it remarked that we can not calculate our voting strength by the members our Lodges, so largely are they made up of women and boys. This._ acknowledgment of woman's help in establishing and earrying on this or ganization, shall be a sufficient rea son for us to accept the privilege grapted us upon this floor, of advo cating such resolutions as we think to.be of vital importance to the tem perance cause,, and such I believe the resolution now before the . house to be. ' ' To make the dealers in this poison, which is now dealt out so freely de spite its well imown pernicious-influ enoe, responsible for its effects, to me to be just where the fearful responsibility should rest; for let me ask this audience, wbo else but the liquor dealer ie be_ uefitted by it? The "Honorable gentleman on my left compares this fearful traffic with' our grand, beneficial and progressive science of railroading, and says that, as it has been advanced as an argu ment that railroad companies pay damages on the destruction of hu man life and property, he reasons, that if a person purposely places. him self before a. tram of cars, and there by produces self-destruction, the company is not responsible for the same. Now, we beg leave to say that there - is no sinulitude between the two. The one is a grand inven tion of great minds, wrought out b untiring effort for the :general , the whole Civilized world ring benefited by it, and the casualties which are incident to all hu man operations, are connected with its as yet unperfected machinery, and are nobly met by its enterprising officers, and reconipenses are grant ed to the best of their power. Not so with the railroad to perdition,: car rying only its freight of human want and misery, stopping only for pas-. wingers who are ticketed to .destruc tion, and never`bringing them back, but leaving at every Station the most deplorable widowhood and the most pitiable orphanage. And we would ask again, who are benefitted by this infernalinstitution ? For whom ia this damning system :granted, legal- \, ized and nurtured, with all its unho ly influences staring., legislators and law-makers in the • face ? I answer, it is for one class, and one 4itedy, and if any one present can tell me where= 'in any other person or 'class of per sons are affected, otherwise than to their serious disadvantage, by the liquor traffic, will they please state who they are. I pause for a reply. There is none, and there can be none. Unlike any honest avocation, there is no call for it--ne need, no necessity', no demand. And yet the class so largely benefitted by this—to all but themselves worse than uselesa—traf fie, strangely ignore all respcinsibility for any evil that , may arise from 'its pursuits, shoaling by this very shirk mg of conswfuences, that they ere known teiforehmd to be disastrous, , and thereby branding the purstdt with premeditated villainy. Bat to go back to the brother's ar gument of self-destruction. Now it is admitted, perhaps universally, that alcoholic drinks possess a power over the appetites of Some people, which they are entirely unable to resist. I havieseen such enter .this Lodge, with that look of desperate detenui nation which a strong man puts • on when he battles almost hopelessly with a fearful foe; and yet they have gone out and fallen again, unable to conquer. God help them. From this is clearly evident that 'when the railroad to destruction is Chertsred, engineered, and put in motion, it is a well known fact to all connected with, it, that it pesseeses a fascination that will draw its victims beneath its crushing wheels; and indeed it de- Kpends entirely upon this well known power to keep up its expenses. Its very existence depends upon its vic tims, and for this reason, instead of , warning flags, there is every tempta tion held out, and the victim:does not know his danger till be is past, help. Idea over whom alc:,hpl has not this power, help this on, too, by go ing hand in hand with the agents, along the track of this chartered work of destruction, . and a weaker brother, following what he thinks to be a safe example, is 'drawn into the destructive whirlpool, which buries him .in ruin, crushed' beneath the wheels of this Christian Juggernaut. Has he destroyed hiniself, or he destroyed by the system built up for that very end, as much aethe spider builds his web to catch the fly'?-Here too, is a moral question for the Con sideration of the , strong brother, in leading wherehe knows another can' not follow in safety. We will sup pose a single plank thrown across a fearful chasm. Yon know that• your head is steady, and that you can walk there in safety; you also know that while yon ran this. needless, risk 'in safety, another is following in your footsteps who cannot perform -the feat, but whois not aware of his in capacity, and is striving to do what you have done, falls into the chasm and lies there a'mangled mass. Would you turn and call him -fool, knave, and villain,. because God 'and nature had not made him as strong yourself,as and punish the poor wretch if he wore not already punish ed beyond your roach., or would you look for' recovery of damages, to those who have placed such needless dangers in the way? .

TEE AGE or NM—Professor, Far aday adopts Flonrin,s phosiological theory that the age of man is one lihndred years. The duretion, of life he believes to be` measured from the time of grovrth.

Man being t twenty years in growing, lives five tunes Mea ty years, thtt is •to say, one hun d leers ; the camel in eight years • growing, lives five times, eight years, that is.to say,. forty years, the horse is five years in growing; and Hiss twenty five years, and so with other animals. The man who does not die of sickness lives anywhere from eighty to 'one hundred years. Providenee has given man a century to live, bit he does not attain it because he inherits dis ease, eats unwholesome food, gives license to his passion, and permit . s vexation to disturb his healthy ecitu poise ; he does not die, he kills him self.
