WMl IT T ili& UyJV Ijndon, England, January 29, 1S72. EdltorNebraska Advertiser. In looking over the report of the Leeds' Board of Health, yfo find that of all the canes of mortality, nearly four-fifths are from small pox. Simi lar accounts from the principal towns of Britian show similar results, being largely in excess of all other epi demics. Wo proceed to tho station to take the train for Sheffield. The structure of railways, buildiugs and coaches, and their management in Britain is quite different from our own. Tho railways are substantially construct ed; everything is secure. Persons and vehicles are prohibited by astrin gent law from walking or crossing the track, either in town or country. All crossings are either under or over, by tunneling or bridging. Every quar ter or half mile watchmen are sta tioned. By a wire tope passing along the rail from station to station, switch es can be changed a mile ahead. Pay and night signals announce tho posi tion of switches. The station build ings and platforms are built of stone and covered with slate or glass. There are three distinct waiting rooms for first, second and third clas, and fre quently as many ticket offices. Tick ets cannot bo procured until within five or ten minutes of train time. They never check baggage or luggage here. If you have extra luggage, a small slip of paper containing your destination is pasted on it, -when It is put in the parcel or luggage van, and on arriving at your destination, you must immediately look after and take charge of it, as the company is no longer responsible for it3 safe keeping. If, however, you desire to leave it, you can have n porter take it to the parcel or luggage room and turn it over to the keeper, take the compa ny's receipt therefor, and paj' one penny per day for its keeping until called for. About the stations and trains every other man wears a uni form with his position indicated by his dress or letters on his cap. Around you everytning is conveniens aim comfortable. The station bell rings, which announces the approach of the train. The train at the threshold, you at onco enter a conch of the class called for by your ticket. If in need of assistance, a porter, brakesman or guard is always at hand to conduct you and see that you do notgo astray. On board,- .the train, the Inspector come3 along and examines your tick-' et,"Mrhen tho doors are closcdaud locked, the bell rings, a guard blows a small whistle to notify the engineer that all is ready, when the train moves off. Trains arrive and depart on time. The coaches are a air type of those on British and French rail ways. They are divided int corn- partments that hold from eight to ten persons each. 35ach compart ment is subdivided, fio that when full four or five persons ride backwards, and sit facing their fellow travelers. The seats of the first and second cla.s are cushioned and padded ; the doors open at each side of the coach ; the ventilation is poor, and no light ex cept that admitted by the glass in the door or a dim flickering lamp. There are no conductors, no ropes, no water to drink In the coach, no water-closet, no heating apparatus, no communica tion between the compartments of the coach, or between the coaches. Jf it is cold or damp, you can get heaters at any of the stations if tho stoppage is long enough, for which you pay ac cording to the distance used. If your company should prove disagreable to you, or a rowdylsh element should gei in, you cannot remove to another compartment or coach, at least until the train stops, and then in the flurry the guard perhaps may usher you in to another equally as unpleasant. The modern convenience of a sleeping car is unknown in this co m try. In fact, our American railway svstem is far preferable. Hero you cannot stop over at any point, but must proceed lo the end of your journey. The best plan i to purchase your ticket only to tho place you desire to stop olF. Through fare and way fare is uniform, go their is no advantage in purchasing a through ticket. The railway sys tem, liko all other modes of transfer or conveyance here, is regulated by law, and rates of fare are established and mostly uniform throughout Brit ain. The government, parliamentary or third class fare is about one penny pea mile ; second cla'-s about one and a half penny per mile, and first class about two pence per mile equal to two, three and four cents per mile. In France tho rates are lower. On rail ways, negligence is a crime. Men who are subject to the inlluenco o.f liquor are never employed, and if an accident occurs, the responsible par ties culler the penalties of a stringent aw. As Mark Twain says; "What excellent order they have about that vast depot! There was no frantic crowding and jostling, no shouting and swearing, and no ewagering in trusion of services by rowdy hack men. These latter gentry stood out side; stood quietly by their long line of vehicles and said never a word. A kind of hackman ceneral seemed to have the whole matter of transporta tion in his bauds. He politely re . eeived ihe passengers and ushered them to the kind of conveyance they wanted, and told the driver where to deliver them." In nearly all railway stations, as on board steamers and iu hotels, religious papers, books, cards and bibles arc to be found for the ben efit of thoe desiring to use them. Wo are now passing through the heart of England. Seores of collieries are on either side of us, where coal is'ble mountains of rolling darkness, shafted from a depth of 800 to .1700 feet. At night tho country is brill iantly lit up by the escaping flames from the extensive furnaces, rolling mills and iron works all around us. We leave Hull to our left, and Wake field, Huddersfieeld, Eochdale, Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Wigan, Ashtou, Italey Bridge, Warrington, Stock port, Birkenhead, Liverpool and Manchester to our right, and cross Culder and Dearno rivers. Woodland seems plentier as wo ap proach the Don. At- Sheffield the houses are principally of brick, and the town is compactly built, much like our own Pittsburgh; everything black, and a dense cloud of smoke hovering over it. Sheffield is situated at the con flue nee and on both sides of Don and Sheaf rivers. The popula tion is about 2-10,000. It is chiefly noted for its extensive manufacturv of cuttlery and light goods. One of the principal establishments is that of Joseph Rogers & Son. It is a wet, gloomy Saturday ; tho manufacror' is not in operation, and we are content with a glance Into the extensive sam ple rooms. Our time is limited. We purchased a few specimens of pocket cutlery to remember thorn by, and took the next train for Nottingham. To our left, or in the East of Eng land, is Gainsborough, Lincoln, New ark, Grantham and Bofton. To our ritrht or in the west of England is Macclesfield, Chester, New Castle un der Syren-Cresve, and Derby, and we cross the river Derwent. We are now about midway between Wales and the North Sea, and Scot land and the Englioh Channel. As a general thing after leaving a large English town, we nre booh ushered into open country. In passing through Chesterfield, we observed a very peculiar freak of ar chitecture; that of a toweriuj; and leaning ribbed steeple. Nottingham, situated on tho north bank of tho Trent, and nearly in the centre of England, contains a popula tion, including adjoining districts, of about 135.000 Inhabitants. Its trade Is very important, and comprises the manufacture of bobbinnet and beau tiful lacej, hosiery of all kinds, the throwing and dyeing of silk, and bleaching, with various other brandi es. The commanding views are di versified' and highly pleasing, and few manufacturing towns have so many picturesque walks as Notting ham. The Arboretum is a beautiful place of recreation in tho summor reason. It is pleasantly situated or. two hills. The grounds are most tastefully laid out with trees, shrills mid flowers. The Cattle is a mere rootles shell, 21(5 fet't long and 90 feet broad. Tt was destroyed by fire du ring the Chartist riots in 1S31. The ruins of the Castle are very pictur esque, and most extensive views of the Hiirroimding country may be ob tained from the summit of the rook on which the Cabtle is built. The Geneial Cemetery, and the Church Cemetery, arc beautifully laid out, and contain many elegant tombs and monuments. Mechanics' Institute contains a line library, reading and news rooms. The General Hospital is situated on Standard Hill, and is open for the sick and lame and poor of all nations, and persons injured by serious accident. The new Trent Bridge is a structure of great trenfrth and-beauty. The new Wilford Bridge isalsoan elegant and substantial struc ture. Of the public institutions of learning there is Nottingham High School, tho Blue Coat School and the School' of Art. The Corn Exchange is a fine building, and the corn mar ket is held here every Saturday. It is used by the General Exchange and Commercial Association and the Chamber of Commerce. The Court Hall and Jail forms ". massive stone building erected in the year 1770. The Town Hall is a plain stuccoed build ing. Races- are held here twice a vear. The course, which is situated to the north of the town, is one mile and three-quarters in circumference. Close to it are spacious cricket gmu n!s. The Labor Congress has just ceased its cpsion nere. dui f niv wu ." wav to London now, and feel anxious to see the elephant, therefore we will not tarry here. Wo take the Midland route via Trent, Leicester, Market Harboro, Wellimr-sborouch, Bedford, Hertford, and St. Albans.

We leave to our right Staf ford, Litchfield, Shrewsburg, Wol verhampton, Walsall, Bilstou, Dud ley, W. Bromwich, Birningham, Coventry, Worcester, Northampton, Hereford, Cheltenham, Newport, Bristol, Oxford, Bath and Reading. We cross rivers Trent, Wreak, Neu, Ouse and Lea. The topography of the oountry and the general appearance of things is changed. Fine buildings, more hedge fences and railroads are becoming thicker, and hurrying trains are run ning in every direction. Everything is more modernized more American like. Wo see occasional board and paling fences ; now and then a frame building, which is a very uncommon thing in this country ; the railways increasing in number aud running almost side by side, and gradually ra diating to all parts of the Kingdom, with trains crowded with people, pounding over them ; here and there clusters of odd lookimr buildings standing alone as sentries on duty, on the verge of apparently impenetra- consisting of clouds of fog intermixed . . iL& . , ,, , with the huge volumes of smoke that is) gathering about us until we are entirely enveloped in the gloom, and shut in from the out side world, rorcioiy remiuu us mat we tire ap proaching the great city. Yes, we are in London, rusnmg through the city and under the citj; miles of houses are all around us, and above us. Still on we go past Kcnt ih Town, Camden Road, Great Northwestern Depot, St. Pancras, Pentonville Road, Kings Cross, Far ringdon Road, St. John street, until we arrive at Aldersgate street. Here we leave tho train. The station con sists of long paved platforms, one on each side of a double track, on a level with the entrance to the coaches. On each side are huge stone walls inden ted with occasional apartments for the use of the company, while placed along in front are seats for waiting passengers. Above all is a massive arched roof of iron and glass. Pas sengers enter and leave the train on the left hand siiie, whether going in to or out of the city. We ascend to the street bj a long row of steps ; un der us is the mouth of the tunnel, in which the train is lost in darkness, until it arrives at the next stopping place perhaps two or three squares further on. At the top of the steps we give up our ticket to the collector, and pass Into the street. It is Sunday, and a thousand church bells are chiming merrily in every di rection. The heavy clouds are break ing, and for the first time in a month London is unveiling herself, to admit the bright and health giving rays cf an English yet American sun. With buoyant spirita we hurry on down Aldersgate. We meet a policaman full six feet sis. We addre-s him with, "Fine morning, sir." "It is a fine morning." "flow far to Cheap side?'"' "About five minute's walk, .sir." "What great building islhatr" "That is St. Paul's, sir." "Which way to tho General Post Office?" "Just a few blocks ahead, sir." We thanked him and were about to pro ceed, when he got ofl" the following : "I say, sir, are you an American?" "I am, sir." "Indeed ; and you are what they call a- Yankee?" "No, sir ; while tis true thatthoe to whom the term 'Yankee' is commonly ap plied are all Americans, yet all Amer icans are not Yankees." "And how is that, sir?" "Well, you see that the term Yankee does not properly be long touiintive Americans, but rather tt your own people, the English, which, if you understand it. the or igin of the term Yankee will explain to on." -'But, I do not, sir." "Will, the Indians who formerly occupied that portion of the United States, known as he New England Mates, called the white settlers Yengees, or Yankees, that being the best pronun ciation they could give to the won! English ; hence the origin of Yankee, a title which the people who now in habit those State-, retain to this day. But, I find that here in England, till Americans sire called Yankees. However, we, as Americans, are not ashamed of it. We were culled Yan kees durirg the war of tho Revolu tion, also during the war with Britain in 1812. and we are still willing so be called Yankles. Sir, wo still "have grt-at confidence m our stars and stripes, and Yankee pluck. And why did you think I w:h an American V" "Well, by your accent, your long face ami more V"t,icularly by your tree and easy manner, a sort of indiffer ence which is peculiar to you Ameri- fjins. besides. (iurinr our eowvoisa lion f have noticed vou make use of' soveral JAmericanisuiH which would convince me that you were either an American, or had been in America for some time." "Ah ! well it would be Grange if you did not. We can easily recognize an Englishman when ho comes to America." "Indeed ; and how so, sir?" "Well, by your accent, and " But we are in Lon don now, and with a good-day, sir, wo push on to Cheapside, down this street to King. We turn up King, and in a few moments we are in front of Waverly Commercial Temperance Hotel. We enter and receive a pile of letters and papers which have accu mulated here ibr us during the past two weeks?. We are shown to our room. Wo lay down to rest and look over our mail." Here is a small white envelope apparently well filled. The post-mark is plain it is from Brown ville. We quickly opon it; the fa miliar hand writing, and tho more familiar name; Oh! joy, it is from home. Among the papers are two conies of the AtivcrHr, each contain intr communications from Ireland; the Edinburch Daily Review, Belfast Times, Ulster (tazi 'r, London Derry Journal, &.C., each containing our ar ticle on "Nebraska, United S-tates of America," and here is a score of let ters these articles have thus far called forth, and we mut hasten to answer; nen. 111K. naner ttiiu sunup. un : is there no end to writing. Another letter to the Advertiser, and well, it appears to be quite late it is dark the streets are lit with cas, yet it is only three o'clock. We go down to the "Commercial Room" for dinner.

By and by we aro in a per fect jam, wishing we were anywhere else than here. Presently the doors are swung back, and there is a general rush. The Ushers do their best to stay the onward current, but all in vain until the inner doors are reached, when the crowd is held iu cheek un til pew-holders have occupied their seats, when tho vacancies are filled up; and by the time services open, every pew, aisle and vacant place is full, "nod hundreds standing at that. Y'e were successful in obtaining an advantageous position, in order not only to have a fine view of the vast congregation, but to distinctly hear and see the Rev. C. JF. Spurgeon, whose text was Jeremiah, 2Sth chap ter and 13th verse. We heard him preach, ami were enraptured with his eloquence, earnestness andsimplicity. He was fifty minutes in delivering his sermon, after which tho service was concluded by his aged father, who is also a minister of tho Gospel, and of the same denomination the Baptist. Rev. C. H. Spurgeon com menced preaching at the age of twen ty. He has beeu preaching for 17 years, and therefore is now only thirty-seven years of age. His career thus far in the ministry, has been an extraordinary one, and if health ami long life attends him, ho will become one of the world's ablest expounders of the truth, and his services will prove invaluable to his branch of the christian church. The Tabernacle is said to resemble a Grecian Temple. It was opened in 1SC1, having been built by subscriptions obtained by Mr. Spurgeon, by preaching in Surrey Music Hall. It has a six column portico, and is 1 15 feet long, SI broad and 02 high. It is lighted by a great lantern from above, aa w&llas theside windows; two deep galleries run round the interior, which is some what in the style cf a concert room, with a raised platform instead of n pulpit, on which Mr. Sprague atai.ds to preach. He has plenty of room, and nothing but the railing in front of him, on which he occasionally leans or rests his hands during his sermon. The building is oblong, and seats about (,000 people; yet, like Beecher's at Brooklyn, it is said to be crowded at both morning and evening service, from one year's end to anoth er: and as about 1.S00 persons usually stand, about 7,00 people attend ser vice here twice a weeu. xlie iorm ot Mr. Spurgeon's services have a very impressive effect. There is no special choir or church organ. After he an nounces and reads the hymn, one one man who acts as leader, steps for ward on the platform near Mr. Spur geon, and commences to sing, when the entire congregation rises to their feet, and all join in singing: yes, all sin?;. Hymn books aro distributed so plentifully that all who wisli can use them. He line3 his hj-mns in the VesIe3-an style. Yes. Mr. Editor, there is something truly reran d, yea. "sublime to see nearly 8,000 people rise to thair foot-, and all unite in singing "Praiso Cod from whom all blessings Ito-.v," etc. The services have ended, and plov.ly this great concourse of people, leave the church, and wend their way ht.meward. while Spurgeon's STinnii is the ekief topic of conversation. We return to the Waveiiy, and retire to rest. In our next we will endeavor to in terest vour readers with a brief de scription of places of special interest In London. OtVASIOXAIi. OPPICIAL.
