Foreign Correspondence. - F1TZROT SQUARE, London, June 2S, 1S33. My last letter landed me safely at the Bed ford Hotel, Covent Garden, London. How to detail what 1 have seen in this great metropo lis, 1 hardly know, for the sights have been so many and varied, that it quite puzzles me to de scribe them. London is about 30 miles in cir cumference, comprising what is called Mlie ci ty of London,' 'lhe ciiy of Wcsiminsieyind the Borough of South work,' with their respective suburbs and many villages in Middlesex and Surrey, which have been connected so as to. now form one whole. There are certain prin cipal ranges or streets connected, which form chief avenues across and through ii; and where ., ! the pbpulation seem almost all lo lake . mem- I -selves in passing from place io another, e. g. Did wo to go io ihe Tower, we would go to Oxford st. and thence io High si. Broad st. Hol- born, Skinner st. Iewgate, Cheapside, Poul-i try, Lombard st. Tower si., and so would all wiihin half a rmle around us; did wo wish to go from thence' io Westminster Abbey going to to St. Pantef which we passed by Walling St. we wouldAeep on the left and go by Ludgaie, Fleet sjl and the Strand to Charing Cross and then fty Whitehall, or did we wish io go lo Hvde Park we would have gone from Charing Uoss to Pali. iMall, liaymarKei, anil ricaaniy. 11 these leading sireeis are constantly filled with crowds of people and vehicles that one wonders how they get along and where they come from.

Passing on beneath ma jestic trees, you see hundreds walking and sauntering as though they had noihing'to do! with business, care, or trouble. St. James Palace is on one side of this pquare. Oh an other, Buckingham Palace, the present resi dence of the Queen.

Thous ands are h' horseback and mariy of them La dies. . Ldo riot know a mote pleasant way. to spend a few hours than lo go io Hyde Park, to s,ee ihis display. On Monday evening after I arrived; I saw pher Majesty, to- my fuH ,sairsfaeihm, having hrfd fine riberloSarH5at heMlinfucti-all please, for near five hourB. She visited Diary. Lane Theatre, in Stale, to honor Macready, with her approbation on his contemplated, withdrawal from the Stage. A stale box was erected near stage, projecting otri; by paying pretty well I secured a seat right in lront of the stage, com manding her box fuDy. Shu was attended by Prince Albert, and both seemed to enjoy the at tentions shown them, and ihe applause mani fested by their subjects. She is no beauty; I have seen a score of our country girls who look better. The scene on her entering was very fine; the Theatre was crowded. As she en tered, all rose, and the curiain being drawn up the large Stage seemed equally full, when the most deafening cheers vrero sent up I ever heard, accompanied with waving of handker chiefs and continued foe several minutes, to which she and the Prince answered by curtsies and bows; as soon as silence ensued, those on the stage commenced singing the Anthem "God savo ihe Queen," which was joined by many in the theatre. The play- was 'As "you like it' and was admirably performed. I have never seen any acting, equal it. On Tuesday we caUed on Mr. Everett and presented our letters then visited Regent and Bond sjs., and passing Trafalgar Square, went into ihe National Gallery, where wc spent the residue of the day, gaztn;; at the splendid paint ings of the old masters. There were some most beautiful ones, seve ral of Titian's, Clude's, &c. In the evening I '.vent to the Opera and was in extacies with the melodious warbling of Mdle, Grisi and eqaaOy enchanting dancing of Cerito. I here, again saw ihe Queen as al so the Princess Augusta, who is soon to be married. On Wednesday passing the Admi ralitv and Treasury j3uiidings, Downing st., Whitehall palace, before which Charles 1st was beheaded, we went to the Courts at West- heard the Attorney General, the Solicitor Gen m;natof r.nrt I.m tlhnri nresidincx in ihe eral.

After breakfasiing at the White Hart, we took a car riage we had previously engaged arid, posted over about 6 miles.

On Friday we railed on Mr. Rives, our Sec retary of Legation, whom we liked very much and then delivered a leuer I had to a Mr. Sharpe, a Banker in Clemant Lane, who kind ly went with us to Guild Hall, the Bank, Man sion House and South wark Bridge, and showed us all the curious places around them. In the evening we went to the most magnificent war museum I have ever seen and lhe' most natural. On Saturday we again met Mr. Sharpe, who pointed out io us the old Loudon Stone, the middle of London in the time of the Romans, being ihe stone from which ihey measured their distances. . We. tbe"n went with him to see te Docks. Custom House, and Tower Hill. Ilav- iiiguuwntus Sa&Trai, tor's Gate, he left us to enter the Tower which we did and impeded all lhat was to ue seen. There are forly wardens attired in the costume of the times of Henry Till, when they wen instituted, one of whom takes visitors around, lhat is one takes-charge of each party, though apparently many are kegt busy at it. We went first to the Armories, vrhsre is preserved the ar mor from the earliest limes down. In the horse Armory, the armor fitted on figures mounted on horseback juit as the owner wore it from the Armories wo went to the Jewel Toom and saw ihe gems and diadems of Royalty. From the Tower we took an omnibus and went through London and some miles beyond (though we did not see many interstices between the Houses) io Cheswick gardens, where we learned there was to be a great Horticultural Exhibition. When within two miles we found we were not the only onss, for the road became crowded with carriages, omnibusses and cabs, all wend ing their way to the Gardens, so that we left our omnibus half a mile from the place, and walked on to get ahead, so great was the crowd. When there, wo found that the visiters were the elite of London, and lhat it required a. fel low's order io allow you to buy a ticket, at 8 shillings Gd. sterling. We told them we were stranwers, and having fhetn our cards, a fellow j i i - u.. ,u.. i.o.-.,r,- nr. i wuu Wits aiaiiuiui; uy " ... . . , , t , . ders, and we obtained tickets and entered.

There aeems like no attempt at order in the house, half the members sat with their hats on i i . i - i -r .i anu a continual running aoom as u mere was no interest taken whatever in what was going on. On Wednesday, we went to the British Mu- seum, and spent the whole day m li, that only allowing us lo glance at its contents. Here are the Elgin Marbles, the Roselta Stone, the Portland Vase and an immense collection of! every thing curious, antique, and rare. The room containing the minerals, might alone em ploy one a week. On Thursday evening went to the House of Lords just in time to find them adjourned, we only therefore saw the room, and ! sat upon the Woolsack. Friday I went to St. Paul's, and climbed to its very top, alter seeing all the sights below. The view of London from it is very fine. You have it all before you with its streets, crowded with little pigmies working tbeir ways. I then went to Guild Hall and spent two hours listening to a Jury trial ; from thence to tho House of Lords and this time was successful but disappointed.

On Suuday we walked about a mile and . a half, to the Church of the Rev. Mr. Johnspn,- a clergyman of the Scotch church, quite celebrated and frorh whom we heard an excellent sermon. On Monday wo rose at half-past 5, and walked about two miles io Smuhfield Market, where Rogers was burned. There were about 30,000 live cattle and sheep, some vety line.

They ate purchased by ihe butch ers, and taken henco to slaughter. , Afier breakfast we took steamboat up ihe Thames to Richmond passing und.er the various bridges over the rivers, and by Lambeth Palace, Chel sea, Battersea, Cheowich and Kew Gardens. Upon our arrival ve immediately ascended the Hill to the Star and Garter Hotel from which is one of the finest views of the kind in the world, at lest Englishmen say so, and there is no denying hat it is uncommonly fine and would "nlone repay a long journey. From here We went to Hampton Conrt Palace, passing the si'.e of Pope's villa in 1 wickenham.
