" Accompanied by a gentleman and his wife, who were on intimate terms with the Howitts, and who proposed to introduce mo to them, at their residence, we started, one fine Sunday afternoon, from R L Street, and by the aid of one of those convenient abominations omnibuses, rapidly proojressed through that district known as " the City. " But how dif- ferently now appeared the locality from what it had been but a few hours previously. Closed were the gates of that great auriferous hive the Bank. No... more from and into the ancient street of the Lombards poured streams of anxious looking men. The Mansion-house seemed deserted, and the broad flagged space in front of the Royal Exchange w^as merely dotted here and there with pedestrians. Church bells sounded from a hundred steeples as we quitted the vehicles, and plunged into the seclusion of Threadneedle-street. It was as if a plague reigned, for in that usually crowded thorough- fare there was scarcely, at door, window, or elsewhere, a human face to be seen.
