_Monday_ morning, the 2nd.--After breakfast despatched three-quarters of a hundred newspapers to my old and valued friends in England. They keep no stock on hand for promiscuous sale: they printed them on purpose for me. After which I visited the business parts. All the streets filled with empty cases, which they had just cleared for the Fall trade: auctioneers hammering away in all corners, knocking goods about as if they cost nothing. In the stores there appears no system--all is confusion. The heat was awful till seven P.M., when the rain came down in torrents: at the same time the atmosphere was brilliantly lighted by flashes of electric fire. Took Mr. and Mrs. Green to the Park Theatre, to patronize Anderson as _Oth.e.l.lo_, Miss Clara Ellis as _Desdemona_, and a Mr. Dowsett as _Iago_, all of whom crossed with us. A poor set out.

Theatrical property in the States, I understand, is at a greater discount than in England. Poor Mr. Simpson, whom I sat next to in my pa.s.sage, is the proprietor--a worthy man, and much esteemed. To bed at eleven.

_Tuesday._--A long day of business. Observed with regret their loose mode. All busy; and they appear to think good times will last for ever.

Nearly all have failed at one time or the other. Bankers discounting liberally at present; and all appear to be trying who can sell cheapest.

Retired to rest at eleven, lost in amazement, and the reflection that this state of things cannot last long.

_Wednesday._--Ascertained the geography of the town pretty well; and so I ought, for I walked till I was nearly red in the face, and my s.h.i.+rt wet through. Engaged at the present moment, ten P.M., writing this, with all my bedroom windows open, and in my s.h.i.+rt. _Hot!_ HOT!! VERY HOT!!!

_Thursday._--Called upon Mr. J.J. Echalaz, at Goodhue and Co.'s, where I received marked attention from both Mr. E. and his employers. When I introduced my letters from E.B. Webb, at Baring's, got some valuable information, and letters of introduction to Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Was.h.i.+ngton, and Canada. Afterwards took a turn amongst the retail-shops, to see their system. Mr. Stewart, Broadway, and a few others, are done upon the London style, but the lower cla.s.s take any price they can get. Disco-
