London Times, the organ of this great en

the restrictive measures of the Bank ol
England "are aiming at this commodity"
'cotton) "and the the speculations in it,"
and an officer connected with the D ink ol

tin. ntal women. Between these and ours
the coutrast was, to my eye, entirely
new.
The bust and neck of almost every lady
within reach of oureyea might have serv
ed ss models for sculpture. From the
zone to the chin, English women from
seventeen to thirty are almost invaria
bly superb. We looked in vain for a hoi
low cheat or a bent back, or what is tome,
times called "thread paper looking
girl." The shoulders full were dawling,
and of the healthiest tint of white, and the
carriage of the whole bust graceful and
stately. Within these limita I think (and
my friend thought with me) lie all the
perfections of the English Venus. We
looked at features. There was scarce a
classic forehead r nose th the room. . At
the feet ther were rather of useful than
of ornamental proportion to the figure.
At the grace of the dancers you could
not find in all France so indifferent a dan.
cer as the best at Almack'a. At the com.
plexion ruddy and coarse j though for the
best of reasons, that probably every lady
on the floor had been on horseback three
or four hours every day in the season, ex
posed to the tender mercies of a riding,
hat, and such sun and wind at pleases the
clerk of English weather.
We busied ourselves composing a Ven

movement the Greeks and Asiatics the
nose and forehead; the English, hair,
throat, neck, and bust) the American,
complexion, feet, ami eyes. The mouth
was still to be provided, buf we agreed to
share the honors of that feature between
us. All this of course might be dUputed
on individual exceptions, but it is cuiious
how nearly universal are these perfections
to int nation to wnicn we nameinetri.
