The Editor of the National Banner, pub
lished at Tennessee, has given sketch of
several distinguished persons in Europe.


He says Sir Walter Scott, in appearance,
is large grey-headed old man, with blind
eye, a lame leg, and an unmeaning physiog-
nomy. The Duke Of Wellington is a tall,
war-worn looking man, with a sunburnt
complexion, and a large Roman nose. The
Marquis of Anglesea, who lost a leg at Wa
terloo, is most interesting looking man,
with handsome face and commanding fig
ure. Thomas Moore, the poet, is squat,
funny looking, short sighted little man.
william Roscoe, poet, orator, historian
and botanist, is tall, thin old man, and a
good deal stopped in the shoulders. Miss
Edgeworth is a very ugly little woman,
whose squeaking voice is the annoyance oil
every company she honours with her pres
ence. Edward Trying, the Caledonan preach
cr, is tall and thin, squints excessively,
wears his hair and beard long, which are We
ny black. Mr.. Brougham, is thin and dark
complexioneti. His features are disturbed
necessarily by paralytic motion, which
crosses his face and draws up his nose. He
goes through the city very meanly dressed,
passing from Court to Court with his bag of
briefs in his hand, with a quick and care
less step.
