England m the 17h Centmy-The Liverpool Courier contains the following curious picture of England in the l7th Century, from the pen, it seems, of Count O1ensteirn of Siceden:

 Engiand in the 17th Century.-England is unde- niaby the Queen of Islands, the empire and arsenal of Neptune: with this, she is the Peru of Europe, the kingdom of Bacchus, the school of Epicurus, the academy of Venus, the land of Mars, the residence of Minerva, the stay of Holland, the scourge of France, the purgatory of Oppositionists, and the paradise of Freemen. The women are fair but their beauty is arid her are brave, but their bravery often degenerates into savageness; wit and wisdom prevail to an extent which is probably un- known in other countries, but insupportabe pride abstracts from their merit ;-t may well be said that fortune has here distributed her largeness in prou- sion, but these insular beings know not the proper of them where the stranger is in question their language is an admixture of almost every tongue in Europe, but they combine it with the drawback that they set it above every other. In sbort the English are people who want for nothing that can cenduce to happiness, excepting wisdom in the art of enjoying it.
