leaves us this afternoon in the Boston boat To- |
morrow she embarks in the Caledonia, and her ma |
gc foot will press for the last time the hospitabe sol
that has yielded her SO prodigay. During her late
stay in Philadelphia, hear she has done very kind
things-giving away considerable sums of money |
sat to another American artist for her portrait that |
she intends for exhibition in the Louvre-and lastly,
she has provided munificenty for her faithful coach
man, the well known aud popular Charles, who has |
taken so decided liking to the United States that
he has given up home, kindred, and country rather
than quit it Mdlle. Fanny learning this she propo
sed to establish him in business, and Charles is now
sole master and owner of fourishing stable and |
ridng-schoo in Philadelphia, where his knowledge |
of horse flesh will serve him well, whilst his manv
pleasing qualities will gain him friends and speedy
fortune.
