J.0M)0>, 13th ArGi sT, —In the
streets and buildings of Liondon, ptibiic
and private, with liie exception of St
J^iul’s, Westminster Abbey and a few
others, I have been egregiously disap
jiointed. There • is nothing impressive
or prepossessing in its aspect. Mostol
the houses and shojis arc of dark brick
two and three sti)iies high, and niueh
crowded, situated upon irregular, nar
row and dirty streets. Drury Lane and
(’ovent-Oanien, w hich sound so well on
paper, resemble the region about the
Collect in New ^ ork. Kven the west

Kvvercd my exi)eetatioi's. Its buiidings
will not be n- a comi ai ison witii the up-
jicr parts of Dio.n w.^y, or tlie better
■•larts of Doston, l^hii;Kiei])hia, and Bal
timore. The Chaiic* llui of the hxche-
|uer has a neat liousc ; but Loid W el-
Jingion's, near the eiitrance ol Hyde
J’;irl:, is a large, square, jdnin building,
smokv brick, clestiUUe ol every spe-

could almost forgive the mock-battle
upon the Serpentine, in which the Hag
of our country wr.s struck b}* order ot
his majc'dy, to gratify the potentates of
Knrop'e, for the grateful breeze it allbrd-
ed me, while w.tlkingon a warm after
noon, upon its green and shady bank..
Our visit to Hyde Parke was at the
most fashionable hour, for the pnrpose of
witnessing the style of the “nobility
and "entry.” This i*ark contains about
100 ariW. At the entrance is a colos
sal statue of A( liilles,. standing upon a
lofty pedestal, and armed w ith his sword
and"^ shield. It was ca:>t from cannon
taken at the h;dtles of Salamanca, Vit-
toiia, 'rouluiise ami Waterloo, and is in-
scribeil by the ladies t.» “Wellington
and his brave companions in arms "
Around the Park '.Iiere is a carriagi-
path, resembling a raci-conrse, where
all who are able to ride, and some who
probably are not, parade in full dress
and ecjuij.'age. l>ords and l.idies roll on
in their coaches, w hich, by the b\ e, are
g(‘nerally heavy ami inelc'gant: while a
Iroop of ilaiuliV'S, wiih siipiloaf hats,
w hisk'-rs meeting at the chin, and mns-
ta-hios coviiiiig the upper lij/, gallop
afler. 'I'he l;tst mei.lioiied orr.nuit'nl is

by some of the nobiiiLy. Of all’tl.e
vjiims and fuliies in dress, this is the
most ov.traii'-ons, indecent and disgust

islunl society wo'ild cry out ag.viiist it ;
yet the fashionables are seen walking
the streets arm-in-arm with th.e lalies,
wearing a tuft of dirty liair upon the lip.

“ Victory or Wesin.inslcr Abl)ey.”
It is, however, retkonc.l a high honor
to obtain a nich.e in this ;,iu ieiu and ven
erable repository ; and the piomiiicnce
upon the walls, which some of its inmales
have actinircd by lh«- ttnuided eilbrls ol

was once a servant !)ou, whose business
was to sweej) the ofiice of an aliorney.—
i iiis is a iioMe feature in the Ltiglish
r,nstitution, and m some degree atones

associaicd. Our happy republic carries

There are obvious deh'cts in grouping
the monuments of tiie .\bbey. 11,ul the
idea of “ the Poet's Corner” been strict
ly adopted, it would have bee.i a great
improvement. It is graldyi;;g to see
