There was a building 249 yans square, ith an entrance on each side, at which they took five skitisupense from every sprciator. Inside there was a second storey running all around, and the centre of the roof was covercl with glass The whole house, opstaita und downstairs, was divided along and across, and the pradacins of the five continens, and the work of men's hands were called together. There, wer thousands and myriads of articles-I don't know how many When I examined one thing in the place, I forgny the next.

I have, however, noted: down below one or two out of the myriad things I saw this day.
In the first place, there were several of the newly invented resetorogn (Armstrong) enunon of this entry. Ten models of steamers, and all sorts of large and small ships without number, modela and pins of every country, al castles, of foris

In another place, water was forced op to a height ofarverd hundred feet from the ground. There was alea a place bere hard ice was made by chemical wauts, just like nature.

I bave not time to enumerate all the various little things there were but I saw nothing amongst the wares of all countries to equal or lacquer fog beauty and ingenuity.
Next to this were Chinese productions-as crockery, Jacquer ware, iinen and silk, paper and luk, and forth but I could not count

Over the compartment of every country its name. and flag were hung up; and there were manufactures in gold, silver, copper, iron, glass, and pottery, besides Jewels and precinus stones, woven fabrics, carpets, bump, cricones, taw silk, timber, stece, graina, seed of herbs, trops, and flowers. Upstairs was a place ateur 500 ft. long; here on both walls were hung beveral thousand framed pictures of landscapes, angels, en, birds, beasts, flowers, trees, fruits, and veget ables They were all accurately drawn, and seruity very admirable intact, all might be called wonderful. But the foreigners, in painting, only honour these which represent things as they really ere, and except what is like thething with material form: they do not understand anything about the voices of spirits and the manifestations of the gods Well, well, it is a great pity We returned home

There are Eve large bridges over this great river, called the Thames, which runs through the city from west to east, amongst which is a famous one of iron, on which a number gas-lags are lighted at night, for the convenience of the passers-by. The river-bank is lived on both sides with numerous yads for repairing vessels. There are sully river- atramers and other vessels for carrying merchandise, several thousands in mumber, going to and fro, so that there is much noise and confusion on the river: The Taniel (name of a place) lies boventh the Atrean, where a road is dug under the bed of the river, so that one can pass without a bridge: it is a wonderful passage. Close by under the river's but tom, are some cellars, two miles square, which are,
in fact, wine-stores, where many myriads of barrels.
of various wines are stored up. On entering, the vault a lighted candle was given to bach person, and 'they went in.
Un the bank of the same river is an arsenal, where 200,000 of the newly-invented muskets and cannous are kept provided. All military requirements are stored up in this way, so that, if a sudden necessity arise, they can be conveniently put on board ship.

We then left, and came out on the river-bank by a road through the falde, where we embarked on board a steam-beat, and went up the Thames as far K. as the iron bridge; here we went on shore, and returned in carriagea to the hotel a little before four o'clock.

There is a house on each bank of the river, with a door, at which we entered, and descended a great hole in the earth, about 14 yards wide and 24 deep, by a winding staircase down to the bottaa. all round this were hung pictures of landscapes and scenery. Down below were some people playing music, and, when we had listened to they assed us for money.

THE AMERICAN CLAIMS
(From the Times, November 11.) Amid all the excitement which attends the reconstruction of the United States and the settlement of some of the most difficult questions which have over pressed
typom a people the Americans still find leisure to talk and to write angrily about the ravages of the Alabama and their consequent claims on the British Government. There is no use in concealing that, se far as the utterances of their press and the tone of their private conversation indicate their temper, there is as much determination on their part to uphold these claims as there is on our part to reject there. The Atlantic cities lead opinion, and to foreigners they entirely represent it. These Atlantic cities have been the chief lowers by the exploits of the Confederato cruisers. They! Jay have made money in other ways, but their shipping has been wofully crippled. indeed, the expression commonly used, that the American merchant marine was swept front the sass, hardly exaggerates the loss suffered by the shippers The actual destruction of New York and Bostor.
