THE STATESMAN. A SU!VOAT MORNING'S RAMULB. TO THE EDITOR OF THIS STATESMAN. Sze,— I promisor, you tlasiasiongZX isliO•ld stay Intn•n, I • marl give you en meant of my Sunday's Ramble through its delectable parks and gardens. I aye been to Imo my cards P. P. C., and yesterday wash ell by an invited.* to a farewel dins*, given by a man with whom I sat out in life. bat so different mails, and in iltff.rent pursuits. My owe list beeti an humbler path—his ha. been a search after fame and military glory, even to the cannon's mouth. Ile sew nor a Castel to Indio, and by good riVelli• IM•11 , filli..11‘141111 wise conduct, snout rose in the army, ande..1..,. g pg., as 11,e air against TIIPPOU SULTAON, esivisineti sh e viol; of a Field Officer. end on the con. cluition ..f more hointlittri was thought so well of by fr•IC•10it• 11i1141PIII in Leadroshall.atreet, us to has. , a service of plAte Voted WM by their Directory on hi• return to Europe. As I could not escape from the ki; d aiid pressing entreaties on this occa• • though I wished to do so. hewing taken my :ease of the Gran monde since I have witnessed an much of tie miser,. of the world at large. I yielded, end made me rendetrous as fixed for wen o'clock, my Gioia% hour of dining in London, and the hour of my other friends sopping in the country. I therefore sallied forth from the neighbourhood of Wimpole-street, and celled on an amiable family, the descendants of and bearing th e came of an eminent litiolib P oet, celebrated equally for his wit and taste In polite literature--It is cot to he wondered at that the female part of this distiogelehed family should possess, as well as all the meal accomplishments of young Ladies well educated, much ',redness of temper, since they are descended in the female line from ono of a-Noble fa. roily, six. Lady Downes? S —new, daughter to the FAH of L— a, whose fictitious name, from her lively disposition and temper, was SACCHASISIA.— If the Poet, however, of whom I speak, obtained celebrity by his verse, be did more by his prose, for an ',ration. in his own tacos,. when awned of a plot, saved his head as effectual' , as the Philippics of tut.t.sr against Asteurinsr, cost the lett* his.— Without mentioning his name, it is solicited to say, that as a politician ne was ',male and vacillating, and wanted politics, courage. Ile was intimate with Caosswri.L. and yet favoured by Comm 11. after the isecoratin_ t er Ilis character has been eltxon by the sewed, band of the Earl of CIA. ninDoll, and the anonstannue author of the pre. face to his poems says of him. •6 ilis names:wise every thing is. it either asst or graceful in poetry— he Is indeed the parent of Engish arse, and she first who showed us our tumoe had beauty and numbers in it ;" concluding by adding. * 4 Per language owes more to him than the Fiesich does to Cardinal RICIILLIEC, and the whole academy:—that it came in.., his builds like a rough diamond ; he polished it fit.t, am, to that decry, that all artists since Wm are admired the workmanship without pretending to mend it." Such was the ancestor of this family con. gaining an many accomplished and admired members in ii i and a m on g the s eat, onie particularly ellstin• guiehrid by the appellation of ' 4 TUC 1:X1011.1111TICA2- 10 1111AOTT." The Arms of this family repteseut the jeers de pis, atispeoded from a walnst.tree; that the Ws should be ("and in their escutcheon is not star. prongs. sitter I lee could not be insensible df the obligation his first knight owed to France for offer ing him the protection of a mistimes at Rouen, oar his banishment from his native country ; but why a walnet.tree should form a part of the emblazonment is not on easily esplaisted. It is. however. • tree, whose (reit, P. doubt. Sir 14AAC HEARD could easily lay open by mesas of hit College dockers, and re. plaits its fitiP. A ramble would be nothieg withoot the morning pictere of Dyck Perk, in which, though the pair of zebras are no longer seen, they are made op for in some measure by Capt. —'s beautiful greys, and which constitute what may be considered spkndid ocononosp, since the pair the owner deists in the Rhederion Mull, and the two of the same colour so well matched, on which he morons his crimson. coated out-riders, gives him the eclat end credit of a ?atoned Patect, and a four•in.himd whip at ewe. Whatever may be she classical or otherwise strec• tore of the foul en stable of the dress of our beaus and bucks, Do one tan complain of the monotony io its picture, either in colour Or composition. The coats ate as various is bee from one seethe', as were the vowel parts of Joscrii's tdiiick ; and as to she other concomitants of covering to the human figure, they are es dissimilar as the faces of the weasels. 'the deck browser or pantaloon, seems the secces•lrss rival to the cloth cossack, ender which varied appearance we are forcibly reminded of the greenhorn entering London, and the petit modes about to take Iris eonge for Paris. All the while, as if the Ladies thought it enbecoming them seemingly to look on, or improper even accidentally to glance at these subaltern appendages to the dandy sellout, they wear the most enconscioneble large bats or bonnets, by which their innocent faces are made t• resemble a villa at the top of • long avenge, et once darkened and diminished. This capital pert of a lady's attire, without soy great stretch of li cence in the fashionable nomenclature, may really be denominated the jecobin bat or bonnet, since gay put all companions end countenance, under them upon a level, as well as the pretty or plain face; and it... readiest way to east them from their overbearing office perhaps will be to consider every one who nests them to have some defective feature which it is desirable and proper to hide. Finding hi. Eacel. lenry the Persian Ambassador had left the Geld to the well turbaned 'Punts's,' Kayos - , I took a torn tbroogh the male avenue of Kensington Gardens, where More than the *eel gaiety of dress prevailed, bet no striking character exhibited itself. I made a call in Stratford-place, upon one whose perfection in painting has contributed to exalt the honour and reputation of his country in the eyes of every foreigner and native interested in the improve. menu of the fine arts. Such is his reputation for both judgment end magical emotion, that it may be said with LIIITDVI-- Ills prrcil ran by PM slight impels restore. Soars to Slat cliaafieJ Lice, Stott wept before ; (Jr with Puri:- Where a near work kap. oat at his mowed, •ed read) Nature wails span No Med. A kiedred taste in whet le espidte la dewing end Painting, united him ris a Lady scarcely less endowed in these particalars then in possessing all the feeble limearplisherents besides. After many years holding the distinguished rank of Arbitria likgantierria in every thing concerning music sod conversation, at whose select and farcineling parties the Corsican hero, PAOLI, was • constant visitor, England lost chit admired oilman" of genies and refinement for many years. She ;erased a too long interval in that coantry which has been equally renowned for arms and arts. She has, however, compensated in some degree for the loss, by returning to her admiring friends with the promise of remaining with them.— Iler cern spore may, therefore, continee happily to midst his Emigsville's eatinwsnont. and that the work of his hand will lose nothing of its wonted fire and life. At the table of my friend I might have enchained, " flow ere we rained." The delicacies, the dain ties, which the natural and forced season can yield, were here beheld In (to me painfol)splendour. An oc currence at the table amused a few of us who were in the secret.

" A disagreement has taken place between the two Bodies of the legislature in Lower Canada, costere ing the Civil List Bill, which the House of Amiably bad framed by items so as to enable them to 'egoist@ effectually the espences of that department.
