The honorable gentleman, .in view of the contingency, of his re- marks being published, was. .careful to state that it was not a lecture on America or the Americans,, but a IitLIe fanailiar gossip about -what he had seen. With this preface his passage over the ,Atlantic. THE STEERAGE PASSENGERS. • The _ henarable gentleman was much interested in the 700 steerage passengers, -who—with the exception • -of a Whitechapel bird -catcher, -who was going otit with a venture an the shape of English .blackbirdse thrushes, and larks—appear --to have been people going out to commence life in tha new world, with %sprink- ling of men av-bo had tried the ex- -periment years before, aud had suc- ceeded so well as to have been able to go home on a visit to their friends and relatives. One of these men, an honest, hardworking blacksmith, Who had been 30 years in -Canada, had ,been able to dower three daugh- ters with $1,500 each, put four sons 011 farms of their own, and was then on his way to pass the rest :of his life in comfort on a good farm of he commenced with a short description • of his own. THE ST. LAWRENCE AND MONTREAL. Was much impressed with the • vastness of America, fetam the steam- er running far up the river St. Law- rence, and then going alongside •a pier at Montreal, where the stream _ is Ain two miles wide. Some agree- able -sketches were given of the sim- ' pie -minded, pleasure -loving inha.bie tants of Lower Canaria, of the City of Quebec, and of Montreal, the ap- preciation of the audience being much assisted by handing round some excellent photographs. The marvellous growth of Montreal, - which forty years since contained 17,000 inhabitants, and is no a' a city -of I50,000—was briefly referred to, and the striking feature which it pos- eesses, in copal:non with most trans- atlantic towns, of. wide Streets and avenues planted on either side with trees, .was duly dwelt •upon. The -Canadians had not inapressed him • as presenting any marked charac- teristics to distinguish them from Englishmen. storniy Chi passed awa, is new the Governor pears to. ha John Bull type whos money eno in the old THE t`t In Syra time the to all the ted States: tura Was a rfist daYse now happily , Thii ge.t-leu an, who onfldential c e k of the of M CI 88 li hus tts, ;tp- settled do‘.‘ n into a the iIOS ouounced mat hoi e a. to Sa V 0 RI/1 to C in bac e and die u itry. alma N E e he pal rnian qu stern to The c ist huge la -..N.Inch to tiJo disgu emigrants, their c nothing bulbb Eneli I emer t:bei Ig too stroir , onic—a EL It whicli he Omit Bismarck with of a rope t at it wil some tohi n.

Bat on crossing the border he was conscious of being • among - a new people, of which the first peculiari- • ty which struck him was their being remarkably silent. He endeavored . to talk at once, but, though he found • the Americans exceledingly court°, oils and civil, he at the same time found it exceedingly difficult to open up a conversation with them. All over the States, contrary to his im- pressitms, he had found them a re- markably self -contain ed , ger ious, and almost sad people: The Anrenicans • appear to, have fallen away -some- . - what from their democratic notions by having practically established es- tablished three classes on their rail- ways. The new drawingroom cars now found on all the lines,. for which a considerable addition to the • ordinary fare has to be paid is really, a first-class, and if any one wants to smoke he is obliged to occupy avery • inferior car, equivalent to our third - 'class, the ordinary car representing the second-class. BOSTON' AND HARVARD. With the "Hub of the Universe" • the honorable gentleman was de- lighted, and appears to have matte up his mind that; if he ever has to leave England, Boston will be his resting place for the rernainder of his 'life. He was graphic in his descrip- tion of the quaint old city, vaith its noble common fringed with the resi dences of ruen whose • names are ••known almost as well in this coun- try as n their own ; and of Cam- bridge, the seat of the Harvard Uni. versity, where he stayed with Pro. lassos Lowell, and close by the houee of Longfellow, .N7hose residence was the 11etlquartersaf Washlugton at the outhreak of the revolutionary. war. The Harvard.- students -ap-- 'reared to him vor-y much like our • own, except that many of thena were finishing their education prior to commencing the rough work of hew- • ing a fortune for themselves but of the forests and prairies of -the West.. He anticipated, hovreAr, that the time was not far distant when young Englishmen of the upper classes would have to take to 'something of the, same kind of life, and endeavor • to make fortunes out of :the noble domains open -to Englishmen by coming into cOntadt with mother earth id the most thorongh manner.' AN OLD CHARTIST. Before leavin Boston he met Ju- lien Harvey, a Eery Radical, who will be remembered by those whose memory carries them • back to the easure to be i , s oaTs ill AMERICA.
