Tlie (lovoliipiimnla thnt a brief investigation into tlio pnicoeilmjrs of those wlm have hnil cliarge ol tlio National Roml liavo brought to light, dro of a most extraordinary, an astounding character. Alone; tlio wluilo lino, long before tlio removal of John Yonlz, the Into Suporinloniioiit, ri-ports were afloat, indicating that there had been gross mismanagement, fraud and doception somewhere. It was also rumored and believed, from a combination of circumstances, that the road was involved in an enormous debt, much greater than that repremmtod by Mr. Yonlz, although that was great enough lo excite general surprise. Notwithstanding the prevalence of these rumors and the gross favoritism that had characterized tho proceedings of tho Superinleiideni, to the injury of the Slato and the interests, of the road, Mr. Yonti was suffered to rolnin his post and his proceedings went unrcbuked. This excited general surprise and did much to awaken suspicions as to the fidelity and vigilance of the Duard of Public Works. Last winter, ns is known, the Legislature changed the Board of Public Works, and thus opened tlio door for a thorough investigation into tho proceedings of the late Hoard and their dependents. Tho removal of Mr. Yonti promplly followed tho entrance of tlio new Board on their dulios, and then commenced tho developments to which wo havo heretofore, on several occasions, alludud. It is now a well ascertained fact that thero arc outstanding ccrtilicatos given bv John Yonii, to Iho amount of SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!! This amount has al'oady been returned, and still not a day passes, as we learn, without information that leads lo the belief that tho enormous sum will bo swelled slill furlhor! Whon Iho predecessor of M r. Yontz left the office, the debt of tho mad was reported at a litl'e rising $l,000. Mr. Yontz, in a subsequent lalctncnt, declared ihat llio debt f tho road would roach $'..0,000. in bin annual reports extending through three your, lie rep'e-onted the debt an varying from 1?--W,000 lo $''7,000. In bin renorl nroscnled lo llie Into Lcgislati-re. lie summed up tho total amount of outstanding; ceiid-catcs at &i7M0. It in in the fnco of iuch slalc. ntcnla a theBC, made under tho solemn obligations of a public servant, lio'ding an impotant trust, we havo now to record the fact, that certificates have already been presented, allowing thnt the road hai been involved in a debt of at least $1)5,000. Hut, how has this enormous debt been incurred ? Jly what means has the mad been thus involved and tho State plundered? Hy tho grossest favoritism by a deliberate use of llie office lo promote political purposes and reward political and pc snnal favorites by deception, falsehood and a violation of overy obligation that can bind an honest man to llie fulfilment of duty. By such means has a corrupt parti-zan boon permitted to prey on tho State. By an oxaminotion of iho reports of the late Superintendent and by institulinif a comparison be tween tho prices paid by him fur work on the roud, and thoeo paid hy bis predecessors in office, we find that there bos been an advance in many canon, to favorite contractors, equal to ONE, TWO and THREE HUNDRED PEU CENT! Extraordinary developments have been made ns to the man nor in which bo managed to confer on favorites jubs at such prices. Mr. John Moore, a respectable and influential citizen nf Perry County, to whoso com munication we referred a week or two since, shows that Yontz resorted to miserable quibbles and down right falsehood in order to avoid tho performance of his duty, and secure his favorites ; and shows also the utter hopelessness of ali effort to secure from Vnntz himself, indemnity for these losses, But the development made by Mr. Moore an I attested by a number of witnesses of tho highest respectability, belonging to the party to which Mr. Yontz belongs, is but a single link in tho chain of fraud that has been already and still remains to bo unfolded. In one instance, where the fncta have been elicited within a few days, it is ascertained beyond a doubt that Yontz advised individuals who wtrc bidding for jobs, to put Ihrir bids hink, emggerating the amount of work to be done and the erpense of doing it, for no other purpose than to sentre to favorite at the other end of the lines, contracts at tin enormous proit ! Tlio favorites, after bidding below what Yonti represented as tlio actual exiwnso of the work, received the contracts, and then turned round and sub-let at 40 cents per rod what they received one dollar and forty cents per rod for doing! Subsequentdo-vcl-ipmeutJ show that the amount and character of tho work to bo dune had been wilfully nusrepro scnted bv Yontz. Such is Iho character of the proceedings of Iho late Superintendaut of tho National Road, and such tho moans ho resorted to from the time he entered office, until bo was removed, for accomplishing his nefarious designs. Year after year has ho duhbo rately misrepresented and concealed the actual debt of tho road and his own proceedings. When the whole matter shall bo understood by tho people of the State, they will be startled at the fraudtof which they have been made tho victims by unfaithful and unscrupulous man. Some may be inclined to suppose that tho lste Board of Public Works aro not censurable for the misdoings of their agent and instrument. That they were imposed upon to somo extent wo do not doubt; but that they were measurably acquainted with the shameless doing of John Yontz, and aro therefore censurable, wo cannot doubt. On this point we have their own tesiimony, conclusive enough for all purposes. In their report of last December, to ihe Ieg islsturo, in speaking of the National Road and the proceedings of Yontz, they say t At tho close of IHIIl, the Engineer in charge of the rond, reported to the Board an estimate debt of only ',M),()IH), notwithstanding itiero had been a very great reduction in tho receipts of toll for the year. Thisostitimlo the Board are now satisfied wan much too low; and they art further of the opinion thid the actual debt of the. rond hat nor of en jor severttl yearst at any time much ctj than 10,000. Hero wo havo a direct admission from tho Board that they were satisfied Yontz had incorrectly stated tho debt of tlio road, not only at one period, but "for several years." In other words they were satisfied ho bad been guilty of falsehood, (for it must bo admitted that Yontz knew better what amount of debt he had incurred than the Board did) on several occasions, and yet they not only continued to retain him in office, but even withheld rebuke and censure. Willi tho evidence before them they reported the debt at if 10,000. The result shows that although a liule nearer right than Yontz, yet they did not como witliin forty thousand do'.tart of tho actual debt! "Hh.4 wlrwvlio,lli War-Cry f lb MunU! The Locofoco of Hamilton, as has been already stated, hold their Convention on Saturday last, at Carthage. After making what the Statesman and tho Locofoco papers generally call "excellent nominations, that is to say, they nominated ultra Bank Destructives of the Byington and McNully order they adopted a sot of resolutions expressive alike of the sentiments of the members of the Convention and their candidates. These resolutions are certainly oasily understood, and that the people of the Slate may see still more clearly, if possible, than they have heretofore seen, the true issue between tho parties in tho coming campaign, and mako up their minds as to the position ihey are to occupy, we must transfer a few of then) lo our columns. Hero they are: Hcsolvcd, That inasmuch as the paper money sys tem is not only useless, but unprofitable, immoral, unsafe, and despotic, it becomes llie duty ot the state to abstain from giving it countcnanee in future by taking paper as money in the collection of Stale revenue. It is neither right, nor proper, nor democratic for a government of the people to take for mo ney the promises ot a small class ol the people, and that class the rich, and refuse (he promises of the great mass who live by their labor. ttcsolvcd. That the existence of pnpor money bo-ing thus an evil of such mngnitude, public morals and public policy require of the legislature to prohibit Courts of Justice in future from sanctioning or enforcing any contract or transaction in such a currency.Htsolved, That the repeal of tho Bank law of Ohio, tho collection of tho revenue of the Slato in gold and silver, and the Legislative and Judicial invuli-datiouof all In lure transactions in paper money, will free the people of Ohio of the curse of p;ipyr currency, either from their own or tho banks of surrounding Stales and will in our day, bring on "a golden age." Hmolvcd, That an organized concentrated and privileged 1110111.7 power is one of deadly hostility to liberty. That tho Democracy of Ohio hns too long tolerated such an interest from a miKtuknn and dangerous spirit of enmpromirio and expediency. 1 hat the hour has at length arrived to decide whether this shall boa government of persons or of prop- nrty, of men or money. That wo thercforo repudiate any further concession to the enemy in any foim or reform of bunking, experience having proved all such measures to he unsafe or i no (lectin. I. Democ racy, therefore, calls on nil her sons lo stand bv tho constitutional currency, and whosoever shall falter or betray the causu in tins great crinis of its fato shall ho henceforth and torever an outcast and cxilo from Democratic coiiiiilen:c and honur. This is going the whole length. It is here resolved not only that "the paper money system is useless and iinironi.uble," but wo havo laid down as principles of " prog: exai wt democracy," that paptr money should not be taken in pmj,nent of Utin, that tt contract or transaction in sitch a currennj tlovldnot be ltalLcd by our L'ou.is and, finally, that those who favor any Jorm or nr.ror.M of banking, or any thing shod of an entire disi-wtion of Bunks and Hank paper, are " henceforth and forever outensls and eu iles fro. 11 Demneratic confidence and honor !n Wo rejoice that at last ihe people of Ohio have an opportunity of making a plain issue on this ques tion. Although ihe war has been, for year, one for Bank Destruction ; yet there has always been a con cealment of the designs of our opponents under some specious pretext or plausible phrase. We now tin- ilersland our opponent 4. When they declare against dishonest banking, and the abuses of a system, they are to bo understood as enemies of all baiius and all banking, honest or dishonest. When they dectaro agi.infll tho Bunk of Wooster, with its individual liability charter, they aro to bo understood not as opposing thut particular Bank, but all Bunks as well with as without "individual liability" charters. When they declare against irredeemable hank paper, they mean all paper, redeemable or irredeemable. When they declare against tho Banking System of last winter, they mean to ho understood as moaning all systems, old or new, freo banking or close banking, and every system of credit calculated to developc the resources ot the country, foster enterprise, mako business prosperous, give labor its reward or elevate the people of this land above the serfs of the bard money despotisms of iho old world. We forgive our opponents the deception they havo so long practiced on tho people of Ohio, out of gratitude for tho plain and direct issuo they now present. We meet them in open contest, and ask that men of all par- tics may now take their positions. Tho contest is a final one. Tho atrocious sentiments of tho resolu tions show that radicalism and jacobinism, democ racy and Agrarianism. are synonymous terms with tho leaders of tho Ohio Destructives; and that he who has the slightest regard for the interests of tho Stale, its proserity and credit, present and future, can no longer hesilato os to his duty in the coming conflict Knowing that things would come to this complexion at last, wo have anxiously desired that the contest might come soon, oro tho corroding in- lluenccsofa protonged contest, nn disguised issues, should paralyze the euorgies of the State, or cast ft blight UH)ii il honor and hopes. We rejoice that the contest has come so soon, and that tlio force of circumstance has stripped the disguiso from thoso who would rulo to ruin. Once more wo proclaim the issue, and call on those wlm would save Ihe State from tho hand of tho spoilers, to rally to the great work before them. An alitor florid Unrl I This Texas affair may yet prove a second edition of the Florida war to the Union. There is not a few who believe that if Mexico docs declare war she will be slow to como to terms again. She muy not attempt aggressive movement ; but if she keeps any force in the Held, near Texas, it will bo necessary in the estimation of the administration, to keep a portion of our army in Texas to watch and keep her in check. This will be an expensive business, as can well bo imagined ; and as Mexico feels herself deeply aggrieved, there is no telling how long she may conclude to play iiif she can borrow means from abroad or at home. This will afford an excellent opportunity of rewarding favorites at the expense of the U. S. Treasury ; and if we are to judge of the present locofoco administration by 0110 of its predecessors, it will be in no haste to put an end lo such a state of affairs. Be this, however, as it may, before the close of the next session of Congress, it will be found that this Tex s affair, even without a wor, is rather exemuvo. Millions, if not tens of millions, will bo expended for a piece of territory thut will not add in the slightest degree to tho strength of the country or the permanency or peace of the Union; but on the contrary will do much to impair both the peace and permanency of the Union; while a proposition lo appropriate this sum for tho benefit of tho States, to aid them in p'tjing their debts, erecting improvements, or educating their children, would bo denounced as the very essence of federalism, 1 bus wags "progressive democracy. The following very brief scntonce from a letter written by the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, will afford some conception of what is to come : ' Already wo hear of steamboats beinr chartered at three or four hundred dollars per day each, as they were 111 the abominably disurucului ami expen sive Florida war, and in 0110 instance the Government o-'unt has paid on' thousand dollars for a steam boat to anticipate her intended departure twenty-four hours ! Cyjfiron Hurr was called a Traitor, nil narrowly escaped tho gibbet for attempting lo get up an expedition for tho conquest of Mexico, Now, the patriotism as woll as tho democracy of a nan is ques tioned who denounces the attempt to plunge Ihe country into a war to mako a conquest of a portion of Mexico, for tho benefit of Slavory ! If Burr win alive now ho might aspire to a leadership in tho ranks of the doughfaces. (jyOur article on Tuesday obscured tho light of tho that shone out so brilliantly on the "Tariff and Prices;" and it hoeleBsly essays to twinkle out in a new place last evening. It may twinkle. "Whoot Iftrtrrlrr!" N Tolrrallaa. The Bank Destructives of Ohio have cut out their work for the present campaign. They proclaimed the issue at tho Slato Convention held in (his city on tho -1th of July, and no man who hesitates to lake his stand under the banner of " lit teat?1 has any business in the ranks of the opitosiiion. If they do not impress this fact on tho minds of all bejore election, it will bo because prudenco dictates a different course until after election. Thero can be no union between the Bank and anti-Bank men in ihe ranks of our opments, save at tho ex into of an utter aban donment of principle and convictions on the part of the former. This point tho Convention of July settled, and subsequent events instead of changing tho issue, have only indicated, slill more conclusively, tho purpodo of tho leaders lo wage the war of destruction. A woek or two since, V. J. Marti, Esq, a prominent and intelligent member of the locofoco party of Shelby county, was mimed as a candidate for Representative in thai Distr ci. He put forth an address to the voters of thu District, in which lie expressed an unwillingness to second the anti-bunk war, and avowed a wifh that the present Banking law might receive a fuir trial. Although he had hitherto clung to tho patty through evil as well as through good report, alike in victory and defeat, this single ollence condemned him in the estimation of tho Iisrd4,aiid they at once marked him. We shall see what success they meet with in their labors against him, and what resjionso tho peoplo of that district will make. Tho following, from the SL Mary's Sontiuel, shows the temper of bis oppononts; Juht as wu Kxi'Kctkd.

A Locofoco Convention was held at Pcrrysburg, Wood Comity, Ohio, last week, for tho nomination of a candidate for Representative for tho District composed of Lucas, Wood, Hancock and Ottawa. At tho closoof the proceedings a motion was made approbatory of the course and opinions of tho editor of the Statesman and iho Hon. E. 1). Poller. The motion elicited somo de bate, and at the instigation of I. B. Srnr.nMAM, li was rejected, Theso facia reach us through Ihe Maumeo Times, Our neighbor will not consider this expression quite so flattering as that bo quoted with such grateful emotions on Monday last. Hr.MovAl- We underslaitd that J 011.1 T. Blain Esq., has been removed from the post of second clerk in the Columbus Post Offico. Tho reason has not transpired. Wbiil Doca It MenHf Sometime since wo took occasion to allude to a report current in this city and known to be prcltv welt founded, that the Enquirer, of Cincinnati, had been purchased hy an eastern num. We understood, throih'h a private source, that the purchase was mode by Mr. Cask, recently editor of llie Portland Argus, of Maine; and that possession was to bo given on the Kith duy of October, two days after election. Nothing has transpired calculated lo indicate iho drcign of lhu movement although we did hoar that the now editor, Mr. Case, was not a very particular friend of the present editor or tho Statesman. J he ! general opinion is that both movements havo the s imc end, the forcstall'tig and manufacturing of public opinion on the question of tho Presidency. There is room for doubt on this point. Tlio following item seems to show the interest thut predominates in this movement, vhen tho feelings of the editor of the Statesman towards the head of the Boston Custom Hoiine is taken into consideration : Cincinnati Enuiiikh. Tho Lowell (Mass.) Daily Courier savs: "It is currently reiiorted that the Cinuinirili Enquirer, Brunch's piper, has been nought out tiy some of our Lowell, rortland and lluHtnn Democrats, and they are soon to lake charge. The following persons are said to ho llie purchasers : Eliplnlet Case, Editor, late of tho E tstern Atgus, Portland; Samuel t). Dearborn, printer, now in the Boriluii Custom Uoiihc; Samuel Bellows, printer; and A. C. frig ley, now a bookseller of this City." I.srwlut-ojsjin mn ihe TnritT. A correspondent of tho Statesman, two weeks since, set out to prove that a Tariff for Protection was not only inexpedient, but "unconstitutional." How this new light of progressive democracy succeeded, we neither know nor cure, for we could not think of going into tho dark with such a two-penny rush light as a beacon. In last evening's Statesman another political quack in his war 011 the Tariff, has the hardihood to mako such a pretension as that following, Hcsnys : 'No one shall outstrip ns in the advocacy of fair, equal, and legitimate protection to American industry. This is good democratic doctrine. This is a pretty assumption for an enemy of American labor, to make. Let us see how nearly theso political empirics agree. Tho Cincinnati lo- cifico Convention, on Saturday last, put forth tho following: Hrsolred, That wo are opposed to the tariff" oflrM'J, or any other protective tun If. We understand thnt Col.

Ah ! it is thero you arc is it ? Well, we thought that David Tod wns a disinterested man. Ho made a desfierato effort for Ihe Gubernatorial Chair, sacri-flccd a groat deal of time and ahmnt exhausted his lungs. But all would not do, Mordccai snt in Ihe gate and David could not pass. Ho ha been promised tho honor of another canvass, but the assurance that tho result wilt be about tho same, only a little more so, is by no means exhilarating, and he has ventured to hint something of tho kind to tho powers that be. Tho result is seen, in tlm above announcement; nnd if it does not prove tho ontiro disinterestedness of Mr. Tod, it at least shows that the merit of perseverance is his. Is it not sirange that while those favor are being disponed so liberally, (he Ex-Auditor ofState is slill neglected ? He certainly sacrificed truth and time as cheerfully and promptly as did Mr. Tod, SJklm Urlitbl! We have the most cheering intelligence from every portion of tho Slate. Never were tho Whig party in better spirits, never more sanguine of success. Under the influence of Whig legislation, our people are rapidly advancing in ontcrprize and pros perity. IMubly did tho Whigs ot the last Legislature redcum the promises which they made tho people when they asked their suffrages. A sound State currency, and lite equalization of taxes, arc among the wise and beneficent moosurcs of that able and patriotic body. The people see and feel the effects of these laws and lucofocoiBtn, skilled as it is in humbuggcry and deception, cannot persuade them against the evidence of their senses. The difference in the policy of the two parlies i broad and well definedthe distinction is apparent to the most superficial observer. While tho Locofoco party tear down and destroy, Ihe Whigsiostcr, encourage, and build up. While the former puzzle their brains with idle dreams and absti d theories, the latter look to the teachings of the fathers of the Republic, and re duce their glorious precepts to practice. Again wo say, theskv is bright Ohio will emertfc from the ordeal of October, purified from the last remains of the dross of Locofocoism. Logan Oazelte, Our Duly. In our own State wo have much at stako. Tho result of our next election will have a tremendous effect, for weal or woe, upon thousand of our citizens. After r. warfare of some eight years' continuance, the loco party succeeded in prostrating the banking institutions of ihe State; and with them fell the prosperity of the cilizen. Complaints loud and long wore made hy all classes, and action followed as s matter of course, which resulted in the election of majorities in the hist legislature in favor of building up instead of pulling down. The action of thnt legiilature is now beginning to be beneficially felt every where, reviving the drooping spirits of ihe poorer class of our people, who have been tho greatest sufferers by the destruction of the currency. Here, then, we stand. And what shall be done. The irood we expected has been done in our own Slate. Tho blessing craved has been conferred upon us, but can only be retained by an effort. Shall that effort be made ? The cry ot "repeal" has been sounded, the destructives are armed to the teeth, intent 011 do ing all the mischief in their power. If we would successfully meet them wo must be up and doing "while tho day lasts." Trumbull Chronicle. CorreNpnudeuce of ibo Ciiiciimtiu (incite. 1 Mntlcni nm4 Thiug In I.onlan IV. 9. Leaving these minuliai in the affaire of London, and taking a more general survey ot the city, we ore presented with a scene of great activity. The principal street are constantly crowded witn me various vehicles used for business or pleasure; indeed, in 11 mny of the principal streets it is often difficult and duugerous lo cross, and persons aro compelled frequently lo wait several minute for a safe Ira tiBii, The shops and storos in many streets exhibit great magnificence and taste; large show-windows filled with exceedingly rich articles are continually presented, and the prices of most of the articles aro marked upon them in largo ffirures. and from these marked prices no abatemetU is made ; the system of Jem rt ir seems to he unknown here, uur own coun try, huwevcr, can boast of streets nearly if not quite equal to these seen here, and in lomo respect much superior. Broadway in New York, and Chesnut in Philadelphia, and 1 think Main in Cincinnati should be included, are iu some respects more pleasing than thoso of liomlon. True, the Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate Hill, Cheapside, Oxford street, Ilolborn street, and many o'.hers, may present some more magnificent shops thuu those ot the cities abovo named; but when we take into consideration theirreat length and perfectly straight lino of Broadway, Chesnut, Pennsylvania Avenue, &c., I fearlessly aver that ficult route, has not yet been mado manifest to the Philosophical Transactions. The Vox Voputi, however, declares that this unholy admixture is the result of human agency, thus relieving altogether the functions of the cow's skin from the odium of being thu medium of transmission. To satisfy the incredulous that water is not added to the milk, the honest dairyman occasionally drives his cows from door to door and milks in the presence of witnesses; but even then, it is said, he conceals water in tho bottom of his milk-pail, and thus elude all vigilance. On Sunday morning, at St. James Pork, numerous cows are milked, and many eager men, women and children drink it without further ceremony. But to end this matter, I must say, that the milk of London ib a poor, pale blue fluid, which is more likely to produce a dejKJsit at ihe bottom than a stratum of cream on tho surface, and which is more like chalk and water than puro milk. This state of thing where a man cannot earn a shilling a day, must eventuate in hunger, disease, crime and death. I know of nothing cheap in London except woolen goods; ail other articles command high prices. This may seem an enigma; labor is so cheap and yet all articles of mechanical production are high, Tho solution of this question is to be sought for in tho fact, that the wages of the laborer dues not regulate the price of the aiticle which ho manufactures; but tho manufacturer the capitalist places upon it such aprico as he see proper, wholly irrespective of Ttai Kflnlrrs Mull. The impression has been abroad for somo time that from and after the lt of September, (yesterday,) tho mail from Xenia would bo brought in by the Railroad, and arrivo here some three or four hours earlier than it now docs. I'reliimnary arrangements have been made by the mail contractors with the Railroad Company, to carry and deliver tho mail between this city and Xenia, and this only now awaits the sanction of tho PoiiimasterOcn-craf, lo whom it has been transmitted. His decision wi'l bo soon known. If sanctioned, the mail from iho cast will arrive in the morning train of cars from Xenia, nud may be looked tor here between .1 and 4 P. M. There is also a proportion before the Department for expediting the delivery of (he eastern mail in this city some seven or eight hours in advance of the present time, and to despatch it South and Went immediately, but this is wholl distinct from the arrangement first above noticed, Cincin nati hazttte. How ih People bnvc Ihth I'lnnderrd Wo copy an aticlc in this paper from the Ohio State Journal concerning Ihe developments made hy the commirtsioners appointed by our last Legislature to examine the doings, accounts, tVc, of tho lute Board of I'ohlic Works, to which wo invite the at- tenliun of the reader. Although the half hath not been told, yet Ihe reader will see in that article iiouLMi to imc him some imiWif as to tlio purposes for which the tax payers have contributed, in years by-gone. A very pretty sum ha been paid hy tho Uix-payer of thu State, to support a few pampered othcuils, and keep Liocolocoism in Ihe ascendancy. But a day of reckoning at least a reckoning of ihe amount that has thus liecn squandered is nt hand and wo hope that the commissioners will not pause in their examinations, until (lie frauds and pecula-t'ons of the corrupt crew that has bore sway in this State for a fow years part, are fully exposed. And by way ot reminding the commissioners that there is yet a largo field for their labors, which they have not yet occupied, wo would respectfully call their attention to tho resolutions introduced in'o our last Leg mint 11 re by the representative from this district, in relation to tfie letting of work on the Wabash and Erie Canal, Maumeo side cut, &c, and the amount paid contractors thereon, &c. (The resolutions will be given in our next.) If the commiisioners were to pursue half the inquiries which these resolutions lead to, the expositions would bo fully as 'rich' we doubt not, of Locofoco plundering, it in any other portion of the Slate.

From the barber to 11, R. 11.

Hero is tho enviable pin maker to Her Majesty; the gun maker, the hatter iho whip and spur maker to Her Majesty, and I was toldt'or 1 had not courage to see it myself,) that one sign announced the breeches maker lo Her Majesty. All of these persons, who manufacture whips, spurs, hats and guns, (perhaps breeches,) for Her Majesty, present a claim lo public confidence, indicated by the lion and unicorn gracefully surmounting their door, with the everlasting "honi soit qui mal y pense" inscribed upon the shield. Tho result, however, is, that theso tradesmen, and others who are successful, monopolize business and derive large profits from thoir sales, wlitle the laborer is dismissed with a mere pittance.

The gentleman is Samuel Willsnn, Eeq., formerly a poor New England boy, Iho star of whose destiny led him to invent a now mode of making hut tans, tlio result of which was a splendid fortune, and Iho carrying out of his noble views for tho furtherance of the cause of education, Within tho Inst four years he ha founded tlio institution at East-hanqaon in the sum of Ml, I KM), UO,000 of which havo been spent in the erection of suitable buildings, apparatus, &c, and $'20,000 of which remain in tho hands of trustees to meet any incidental yearly cx-pctisus, 7ii(Ji)mncun. those in true beauty. Commonly but two classes of persons will be seen on the street. One is tho business man, active in his pursuits, genteel in dress, and in every respect a good comfortable looking cil-zen. The other is the common teihorcr, and he is certainly not very attrac tive in his appearance. This last class is usually an exceedingly repulsive person in his appearance; his ilress isol the most uncouth kind, and olleu exceed ingly filthy. Ho exceedingly disgusting is the appearance of these people that it is natural to shun llicin as they approach. This want of cleanliness undoubtedly arise from extreme poverty. Wages are very low, provisions and taxation high, and it is with the utmost di.liculty that a common laborer can procure the ordinary necessaries of lire, leaving the luxuries and even comj'ortahlcs quite oul of the ques tion. All enterprise, on the part of the lower classes, seem to be wholly dead ; one follows a donkey from morning till night, without over dreaming of a moro exalted station. Another cries a weep, sweep," un til his voice fails, and never fur a moment supposes that he could perform any other duty than that of a chimney sweep; and the man who wheels an iin-mence box about the streets, placarded on either side, "Head Lloyd's Newspapers," conceives himself sufficiently high in life, and looks no further, so long as a tew pence win obtain nun Dread enough to keep body and soul from separating; and the old woman m u 1'aul s Church yard, who sens uowser strops "three pa-cr for sixpence.'' and the man crying "a an some watch and guard chain fur sixpence, box and nil included," are equally convinced that tho summit of their elevation lias been attained, liul the most honorable, profitable and comfortable sta tion bcems to bo that of footman lo a noblemnn or wealthy commoner. These fellows are uruiully fat and sleek, and contrast strongly wild their loan, hun-grv neighbors. They are dressed in me My le, broad cloth, short breeches and stockings, tine livery, usually laced, and, upon tho whole, they are really an enviable race. If tho Ijord Mayor1 fooimen could he seen in lw backwoods, covered with dazzling lace from head to foot, and with cocked hats upon llicir heads, they would pas as readily for the Duke of Wellington (the Aero of Waterloo, who defeated tKi.000 Frenchmen with 10,000 Englishmen!) as for a servant, Tho term servant is hero property and legitimately applied, as the servitude is certainly complete and perfect In iho United Slates, espe cially in Cincinnati, an American girl will not be called a servant, such an epithet is resisted with in dignity, but here the servants talk as humbly ot "mis-trenT and "master," as do tho negroes of the Slave States; and in truth I can see but little difference between tho two, save that the negro is ihe best fed, and lives in less fear of his master. Many things are performed hero in the most complicated manner, ami often, loo, as it seems to me, awkwardly. Mechanism is not in as high a stnie of perfection as in the United States. I refer especially to inventions. Hero Iho mind is cramped and confined hko Ihe dir ty narrow streets, and the dark and crowded work shops, bo ported is the training ot an hnglish ar- tizan, that he will follow a copy, or do what he has done before a thousand times, in a very satisfactory manner, out heyonil this his enterprise or originality is not like'y to lead him. In this respect ihe widest possible uittercncu exist between an r.nghshman anu an American, if you take a model to an Amen can and desire him to mako an article in every ro spect similar, the chances are that he will make some improvement upon Itio original, sometimes, it is very true, greatly to the annoyance of his employer, but it exhibits forcibly his peculiar character. lint tne most annnving evidence ot complication, at least so considered by tho slrnn or, is the affairs of the Pont Office. I would mention this as a caution to thoso who are about to visit London. Tho (toners) Posl Office i aituaicd in St Martin's Le Grand, and i really a magnificent building. The central hall is 80 feet in width, and with this all tho various departments communicate. One of the most extensive departments is the inland sorter's, and let ter carrier's office. These offices are more than 100 feci long, literally filled with drawers, boxes, pigeon hides, and the various fixtures fur tho convenience of ho department. J he letters aro conveyed to the uiiiercni omves by machinery. Letters aro not delivered at tho Genera Office. but they aro sent to the residence of each person, by carriers employed by ihe department. The system of boxes, such as exist in tho United States, is not in use here. 1 he morning delivery of letter com mences about half past nino, and is completed in two hours. Another delivery takes place in the evening. But these letters are delivered only to those whose residences are known. What, then, is the fato of ihe stranger? If h's letter i directed london I'ost t'fflrr, it may he obtained at Ihe natd letter window, but if directed simply to london, ho win meet with oitncuity in procuring it lu tho hrst plaro it goes to the inland carrier' office, and hero a man with a bell mounts a table and proclaim tho namo in 1110 presence ol tho carriers, and il no one knows Ihe residence of tho person to whom it is addressed, it then passes, 1 boliovo, to the dead letter office; next in the series of events, it is placed on a list iu tho grand hall, and if the owner chances lo see Ins name, then, he writes bis address on the board and tho next day, the letter is delivered. Much de lay aim vexation, however, attends tins complicated process, all of which might be avoided, by simply delivering the letters at the window. The proper course for t stranger to pursue upon his arrival in ijonuon is to address a noto tn toe becretarv ol llie General Pust Offico, staling distinctly hi residence; ami in due time he will reccivo a oolite note will "the compliment of Lieutenant Colonel Maberly," Biaungimu too mailer win reccivo due attention. It is exceedingly difficult to form a correct opinion of the moraJily of London by a general survey of the cily. When wo ixamino the police records, tho amount or crime seomato be enormous, but a recoiled 1011 of tho fact that wo aro in tho midst of two millions of human beings, tho aapoct of the cuo is materially changed. But littlo irregularity is mot willi on lhu streets; it i rather unusual to henra man swear, or to see one absolutely intoxicated; tho latter circumstanco doubtless depending in Iho first place, nn the uso of mall liquors, which do not so readily induca inebriation: and secondly, the police regulations are so extremely rigid that the fear of punishment prevonts open excesses. The amount of liquors, however, distilled and malt, consumed in London, is almost incredible. At every step bright. gilded lettors are staring one in the face announc ing that this is a or the celebrated We. or otu house, Hero tho unwise laborers instead of bming bread and meat, spend much ot their earning lor a tiquui that ultimately produces diseaso and death, (fin sham are ulso very common, this variety ofsnirils be ing most commonly used.

To the latter, after admitting the evil of drunkenness a portrayed by Mr. Angell, he proceeded thus: Detroit Advertiser. "But who is it that ha made my people drink ? Indians cannot make whiskey. Indian do not sell it. But white people make it and bring it among us. It is they that havo brought the evil upon us, and wo cannot remove it. The white people can remove it, and now we call upon them to do it We ask them to take their whiskey and rum awny. and leave us sober, as they found us. We have no law to keep away whiskey, but tho white people have, and we ask you to put that law in force. If the white peoplo will enfoico their laws, and not let bad men sell us whiskey, Indians will try lo he se ller. A long time ago, 1 knew your drcat Chief, General Washington.

We rave kept the treaty, but our white brethren havo not. They havo got the Indians drunk, and then bought their lands, a piece at a time, until it is nearly all gone, and our people have dwindled away. We now want you to protect us.

Willis, in his last letter from London published in the New York Mirror, says I saw a new combination thia morning n whip and a parasol. A lady most unhappily plain, (wttose impression, however, was very much mollified by too beautiful equipage she drove) came very near running me down at the crowded corner of Oxford and Urgent streets, she wa driving a pair or snow-white ponies at a famous pace, and a she laid the lash on very vigorously, in passing by me, I discovered that tho whip was but a continuation of the han die of the parasol. In holding up the protector for her own skin, therefore, ahe held up the terror of the skin of her ponies! It waa like so many other things in the world, that 1 went on my way moralizing.It should bo recorded, by Ihe way, that though ono sees good-looking and cleanly-dressed women trundling wheelbarrows in the streets of London, one sees also that very many of tho equipages of pleasure are driven by ladies the usurpation covering the sunshiny and voluntary, as well as the shady and involuntary extreme of masculine pursuit It really does somewhat modify one's ideas of tho fragilo sex, however, to see some hundreds of them mounted on spirited blond horses every day, and every third carriage in tho Park driven by the lingers that we are taught lo press the like of, so very lightly.
