CROCODILE LAKE. DUCKS. LETTER TO A BROTHER. Manilla, December 18th. DEAR BROTHER J. : The heat of the weather here is enervating, and I generally contrive to keep in the house a part of the day, remaining in during the middle hours. Dinner is served at four p. M. , and after- wards it is customary to take a dri...ve to the Calzada. One who has not been in a hot climate can hardly conceive of the luxury of a ride towards night, after the heat of the day, when the cooler air begins to return. This afternoon I had an engagement with Mr. M. , and we went on board the " Plymouth " to take leave of some friends, the vessel being about to depart for China, with the United States Commis- sioner Davis, and Commodore Geisenger. Most of the Americans living here, and a number of Spaniards, were on board. After a pull around in the bay, we returned home to take a ride into the country ; but I had lent my carriage, which had not been returned, and I was forced to remain at the house.
