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

London. Oar trip through from
Liverpool had been direct, and, too

passage to the Queen's Hotel, St.

known as a "Hansom Cab"' deriving
its name not from any peculiar beau

ventor.• Suffice it to say that the
Hansom Cab is a sort.of chaise, -with
a scat calculated for• two passenger

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

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 !

While in London, of getting their let

transacting business -with the Bank

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

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

vania, whose paintings com .. • idea

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

within, but far without the city, and
is never tolled save on the death of
some member of the Royal family.

isolated frond the haunts of traffic;

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

in Cheapaide, Poultry, Conthill and
Leadenll streets. Farther on are

Great Britain and the world. Here
are the solid men of London, its
wealthy companies and long estab

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

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.

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

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? .
And are not you, whose footsteps

not attain it because he inherits dis

At a meeting 'Ma frontier Western
settlement several present wore stout
ly opposed to the organization of a
Sunday School. Not being able to
agree, the meeting was breaking up,
when the chairman said he had a
very . impo!tant notice to read to
them. Quiet was soon restored to
hear this rather novel religious no
tice.
"Strayed—A 'large black mule.
He had on a halter when he left, and
branded on the left, hip . with the let
ter S. Any one returning said mule
will be-liberally rewarded. "
The keen Sunday-School Uniou
missionau - quickly announced that
he also had a very iniportant - notice_
to give oat.
"Strayed—a number of boys from
their homes near this, place, this
Sunday morning. They had guns _
and fishing poles on their shoulders
when they . left. They aro branded
by a holy God as Sabbath - breakers.
Any one _retaining said boys; and -
placing them in a Sunday-School,
will be liberally_ rewarded at the day
of judgment." -
The tact - of that missionary
carried the vote in favor of a Sunday
school, and the stray boys were duly
returned to it. - • _
