I cannot tell servant from master, and t hurt-fore I often go wanting. Ophite my hotel in Portsmouth, a fellow has often nopp- d his head out, who interests me much. He has on a j nrvA-diTpd ni". scarlet breeches, silk stockings, sil ver buckles, and a coat covered all with embroide ry and spangled buttons. If I had not had a hint or two, I should have taken him for the Duke of Wellington. He looks very like the wig except ed our Major Generals oY Militia, on a muster dav. It would be a long while before I could make up my mind to ask such a piece of furniture to do anv thing in a servile way. His master, whom I have since seen, is dressed very like some of our plain men and herein is a lesson for a man- lover ol fine dress tliat tie is piaying, in .vm- i i-a, are never scn. And then the hotels have such odd names, that they really amuse one; for here I have passed "the Great Devii," and "the Fighting Cocks," and am bound in the coach to the " Hull and Mouth," by the "Brown Cow," and the " Hen and Chickens" to say nothing of the "Cross Fox es," the "Jolly Butcher, and the " W bite Cows" all uames of English public houses, odd enough, to be sure. livery town in England, I believe, has a "George Hotel" in it to say nothing of the " Itoyal Victorias," Arc, kc.

And the laugh was renewed at the old gentle man's expense.

There are no miseries pvl.int rri-ir Jif iyf-ittl.it In t in their operations on the mind, than those which pertain to the management ot a country newspa per. Your metropolitan establishments are full of laoor saving apparatus, and are moreover conduct ed on tiie most modern and approved toil-dividing principle. The editor has his seperate closet or cockloft, his assistant auotlier, and perhaps a third, and a fourth their appropriate retiring places also. The first employs himself two or three hours per diem upon the politics or other chief topics of the day, and there is an end of bis task for " these twenty-four hours." His subordinates overhaul the mail papers, string items together, make up police reports, scribble scraps of local news, detail or construct awful accidents, regulate the murine list, Arc, each in his respective department. The publisher, who is next in authority to the principal editor, oversees the affairs of the counting room. where lie is also assisted by book keepers and clerks. The printer presides over the iny-t Vies of the press and the composing stick, apportions the work among the journeymen and appiemices, and his only care is to " get out the paper a. .-ea-son." Thus, by a systematic division of hlor, each moving in I lis own allotted sphere, the wnolc machinery goes tike clock-work. Not so with th1 concerns of a village print ; espe- ii i - i ciauy it located on the seaboard, in some spot not used as one of the world's thoroughfares. Whoso superintends such a journal, must adapt his w-.rk to all manner of caprices, and undertake all s rts of enterprises. The duties of every part of the factory are concertrated in him. He must specu late in politics, fabricate tales, descant on the sci encies, measure out paragraphs and poetry, irather ship-news, compose advertisements, nick up jokes, jobs, marriages and deaths; lie must hear every thing, know every thing, tell every thing; the oooks auu oius, uie purchases and payments, tne collections and the kickings, are all within his pro vince ; he has the whole to regulate or provide lor, iu uispeiise or receive. .

A truce to essays. I am on the wing again. You may consider me on the road to Ioudon, as entering London, mounted on an English coach, they never say stage here, tint's a Y'ankeeisin, and marks an Ame,iie;u;--i -Eligrar.iU- ee coach, 1 1 . o v- motifiu nv npvpr. "driver." but ftlvvvs "coachman." Yes, you may consider me on a jstagc coach, a ieing gallojed off to London from Portsmouth, 7 J miles in 7i hours, including step pages; fare VZ sliillings, aiMut three dolhr. with out the coachtnan, who comes in for 50 cents more. Y ou see 1 am as particular as a guide ihhw. i no fact is, these arc the very little things every hody vvants to know, and therefore I have treasured them up, and now, it any one will take the trouble to drKw comparisons, he will see that land-motion is tne same in England as in Northern States, and cheaper than it is in the Southern. Steamboat fare is dearer. In land carriage, the English are a century ahead of us, in comfort, expedition, cer tainty of motion, Arc., vVc. Insteamboat carriage, we are a little more than a century ahead of them and as much letter as their carriages and horses are than ours, so much worse are their steamboats. One of the new sights that first strike an '-V-r rican eve, is the number of red coats of ofheers and soldiers that he meets with in the old world. Having been in Halifax and in New Brunswick, I was partially prepared for such an exhibition. The red-coated soldiers and the blue coated officers throng the streets of Portsmouth. One meets with themverv turn he takes. Indeed, it is no w onder that the English find little difficulty in procuring recruits, and the best of them, too for the pocr fel- don put out their whips, as if they were counting ns. The coach starts, too, at the very moment al lotted it. At every stage the horses are all ready. Ti.n ti..-1't -it u-liie.1i the co: ichnian shall le at all the principal towns is marked upon the way-bills, and , the exact time of Ins arrival is marKe.i u. n o... aent there. Thus the punctuality of movement i"vondcrful. It is hke cl -ck work. The guard when there is one, and there is one almost always, . .i. ..d whistles to the coachman to K-eii. inu nm--, .... . ill, m ike him drive faster and every guard has a w atch ! an.l observing if he is too slow. Hie milestones on me roao, ., his watch, let him know his exact progress. The mail coaches all leive London at w o'clock in the evening (all in Ireland leave Dublin in tne same manner) f r all parts of the Kingdom and it is a pleasant sight to see them as they all start at the same moment from the (Jeneral Post Office, the guards in their red coats all sounding their horns niMUlrivin" at once for the different road all over i.,ld n,d Scotland. They drive about twelve miles an hour, and average ten miles, including all stoppage. Indeed, in any part of England, you can i count upon the the arrival of a coach for a cettam I c.. n n.lnnioa iS lir ti?Tie allowed. As iv, w:iiiiii n'- ""i ' - -- this furious driving would Ik somewhat d ngerous in many parts of London, light carts, wiih a suigi' liorse take many oi im; iuao- number of their passengers is limited. In this ad mirable arrangement there are many hints fr our coach proprietors, though upon our roads there can Ik no such certainty of movement as there is in England. There are many little things all along the road, to remind me that I am in a foreign counrty. The cables no longer answer my purpose. The sove rrown have taken their places. In stead of dollars ami cents, the tnlk is all of shillings and pence. A different law of the road prevails, directly the reverse oi ours, i ne coacuman es all carriages on the right band instead of the left. A river now and thn appears. The bridges are all stone, magnificently made. Not a house is built of wood; all are of stone or of brick. The villa ges are ugly, when compared with ours. In the beauty of those in the northern States, we far sur pass the English. Window blinds and verandahs . . . iwvncc i ct l i iiiiii'aii'iii lis til nu: iiin . iiiv L-iwt m r i . t .... f....
