Mn. THAckERAY-H,s Lecture
Many persons, and possibly all who
have read "pendennie," and the "New
comes" and have thus had an oppor
'tunity. Of learning something Of The
authors intellectually, may wish tt
know something Of his materiality.-
Mr.. Thackcray is six feet two or three
inches in height. In short, he il d
tall man. with a slight rotundity o.
form, . round and very English face,
and hair almost white. His counte.
nance is frank, open and very ex-
preesive Of the fine humor which per
vades his writings. He wears small
gray whiskers. about half way down
his cheek on either side. His eyes
are large and luminous, and are shield
ed BY a pair of plain but very trans.
parent glasses His dress and man
ners are unostentatious. He wears a
plain, brown business suit no jewelry,
excepting small gold vest chain, such
as We see every day. His manners
are easy and dignifed, and in CONVEX
sation he is polite and affable.
Of his Lectures, u good deal has
been said by the Press 10 every place
where he has lecturcd. And to those
who have read the same, this slight
sketch may offer nothing new. Hi.
theme was George ILL.,, his Court and
times. In the brief space Of an hour
he could dwell but little on affairs Of
State. But his picture Of life and
manner were vivid and striking. The
fburly old King stood before you in all
tho freshness Of time being. His sim.
pie tastes and blunt manners were
portrayed with vivacity Of feeling
that Impressed each one Of the audi,
ence with . sentiment Of personal in
'terest. In short. the same NAV be
said Of each individual introduced

lowing singular trait Of national manners:

public places, and on fetes and gala days.

OF this custom, was inclined to charge
It upon want Of the personal charms IN tho
Dutch damssl. II required only short WALK

humber classes in Holland are remark"-

those Of England and France. They have
freshness Of complexion, q jaunty trimness
Of figure, and pleasant expression OF the
face that is always agreeable. and often
ariscs to positive beauty. This effect is
is increased by the neaLness OF the dress.
Probably the habits Of cleanliness in
which they are educated are not without
influence in producing this comeliness of
personal appearance. But 1 think the
women of Holland naturally handsome. 1

A young gentleman who was with me,
and whose ideas, like my own. wero

of the gentle sex, declared, in tho natural
impulse OF his gallantry, that he WIS dis.
