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 the came of an
eminent litiolib Poet, 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.

more to him than the Fiesich does to Cardinal

gaining an many accomplished and admired members
in iii and among the seat, onie particularly ellstin•
guiehrid by the appellation of '4 TUC 1:X1011.1111TICA2-

A ramble would be nothieg withoot the morning

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

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,

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.
