A correspondent, who Il well acquainted with
Mr. Bates, sends to Buffalo paper the following pic

gray. His forehead is square, and not high, bat has
large breadth. His eyes are black aud small, and
deeply set, with shaggy brows His nose is broad, AMI
nostr1s wide, and perhaps believer in Lavater would
say that his nose his best feature. His mouth is
we'll formed and lips rather thin for beauty His
chin is prominent, and cheek-bopes hardly Observable,
although bis face is not fall. The tones Of hrs voice
are very mild and pleasant ard, though he IL quite
subject TO excitement in the cement Of suit yet

phcabity. His long residence In the Wess-haslng
gone there when young-has rendered him familiar
with the growth OF the country aud he is always full
of s early sidents and well stored with anecdotes

more power upon facts before jury than he has upon
the law before the Court He is too full Of pleasant
remark and playulness, ard has rather too much Of
rhetorical style for close dry law argument, and yet
he is upon the whole a fine lawyer and Jury law

have never known him to wear any ornament what
ever-not watch-chain, or ring, or pin. He has
