This arrival furnishes us with sigh, OF
some of their distinctive characteristics, in
dress and otherwise. The dress OF mar

pants, Tor outside, extending nearly 10 the
knee joint, where il meets The legs Of the
boots, made Of the same material, or of deer
skin. The upper parl Of the person is GOV.

composes their whole dress. The dress Of
an unmarried lady is distinguished by q

very nelly, slender and well proponioned.
The upper leather is colored. They tan
deerskins with urine. and their sealskins are
dressed in beautiful manner, simply by
drying and rubbing them with smooth
stone. A pair of slippers completes the
wardrobe Of lady in tho Esquimaux roun-
try these are made of deerskin, and neatly
lringed round the tops with white rabbits fur.
The clothing which was shown US was made
in a very tasty and strong manner, every
thread used being made Of the sincws OF The
deer, and of course very durable. The
dresses OF the males are very similar to the
II arried ladies', with the exception that they
are longer and rather heavier. The Danes
are scattered about among the Esquimuux
and furnish with what few foreign articles
they may want, which limited 10 steel for
their spears, and some few ornaments for
their dresses, and coorng for their hair and
ladies' boots. The seal furnishes them with
almost every thing they seem 10 require
food, clothing and even fuel"

The Londonscorresponde of the Inverness
Courier, says
"There is a common pedestrian Of London
