It might be of ' jected to as artificial ; but perfectly successful aft has, it mug be allowed, a certain power of captiva:ing, which nature. _however rich, does net possess. A stronger objection to Miss Bedfor(Ps appearance and manner might have. been that they were wanting in true delicacy, and that the elegant defects of timidity and weakness were too well removed ; : but even as to that, you felt that it was rather the confidence of , goad-breeding arid crutsmous rank, than boldness of character;: that rendered hie always so comprsed and easy ; and trying to drag out the bashful beauties that were everywhere t•r he Pound, you felt it to be a great relief"to meet With one who did not labor, by her silen c e and daiduce, to reratr rcyot. rr . y all her advantages, and did. not try your patience by a bashfulness, wnieli vnu telt to tie uureas-usable, arid could hard ly keep thiakinq it was unreal.

Her features were extremely noble—large, well-defined, yet extremely delicate. ..Her com plexion was beautifully fair ; it crm -tituteil. pehaps, the chief part of her b illiance. Her neck, and the setting of the heriti upon the shoulders, were pet feetly after the mrldrt ofthe famous specintrens of ancie - it sculpture;--Jts playiug in every cur ve; . • EMI UM 10,00 natnra: grace Of hinghtine9.l whhout pretence."

While phut of it was usually arranged on the top of-the head in sun e elaborate style of the art, a portion was always left to cluster around the alabaster neck, to which it whit:id paniliar charm. No . one who has ever appeared in thiscoun ti y, understood the eflect half so well as Mi s. Seymour; and nut only was all her talent exerted in the case of her neice, but all her WisheS as to the re sult were fully satisfiA. Nliss Ballot d, I heed Scarcaly say. belonged to that order of beauties whose part is to dazzle and c ),n,n lot With many graces of nature, both lovely and ad nirabl•, the tutelage she had g me through Was such as to make her top hign I'm- love, and only to be admiral.

When I. have seen her crossing over to the piano, followed by a Oulu" of ‘vorabippers, on whom she looked down With such lofty eaSo, checking hy her &pity that warmth of admiration which her lovulinoss would over prompt, the fine e,impari son of the poet has often occurred my thoughts : • The eyinet nobly walks tho water ; So moved on earth, circalsia's daughter The lovlieat bird of ['rang:Reagan!" On such occasiOns I used to say to myself, "How, and by whom, iS this woman t 4 ihp wooed and won 1" The danger which I apprehended was - that,-lon long accustomed to reject, she would bs unable to- receive, in a right spirit, when her happiness called - upoa her to do so ; that. too habituated to control, sl e would us incapable of yielding, when yielding should be: come at once her dignity and her tru est delight.

She . was still the tliorougli bred pupil : - of the world.: mistress of dissimulation by a•double right, as boiri; a witalyl,. and a woman perfectly practised iu society. I found that she was yet the frequent theme of remark to persons of evert- age ; and while commended quite higoly ea.mia for her breediiig and finial, she was everywhere •chai acterized as "cnI,I. vain, heartless, un feeling— a splendid person; had not nature f org glen to give her a beart.".

One evening at a bal! at Mrs. B.'s— one of the most • magnificent of the season—fatigued with the crowd and bustle of the dancing-rooms, I strolled into an adjoining apartment, where I found Miss B-dihrdsitting (pike alone, gazing on the quadrilles with some thing of that gelitle melancholy m hick so naturally rises in the breast of one who pauses in a scene of gayety, t. become a spectator.

The Council adjourned to meet -at 3 o'clock Pursuant to adjournment the Hon body assembled. A couple of re porters were discovered, seated on some pro-slaveryistovd 7 wood, when the following resolution was offered by Gen. Easton. "Re solved, that reporters be admitted within the bar, and the sergeant at-arms furnish them with seats and tables" Objected to by Gen.
