A travelling correspondent of the New England Review, (Hartlord, Co1n.,) who w:itrs with much force and spirit, thus sketches the personal appearance of this most eloquent and ambitious of Massachn- setts lawyers, whom he wen, to hear on the Air-Line Railroad question.

 forced my way into the circle of lawyers and Senators, and sat within few feet el the great Rufus. One word as to his perSon ale. He is dark bilious man, with i'm mense dark eyes, which burn with con' stan, and vivid light His thick, black hair hangs in disorder around his broad forehead. His cheeks are hollow, and thsiI covering reminds one of thick, pliable leath' CT. When excited-and he is always cxci ted in debaIe-his skin is full of welts, ant his whole face seems crampcd into rigi' veins and cords. Ills strongest emotion expresses itself by fierce curl Of the unde lip. which he rolls with surge upwards un iil if threatens 10 oysrwhelm his nose. Ill action is spasmedic, composed at one mo ment, and at the next chafed and furious.- He throws himself on tipIoe, draws himseI back into a little space which the lawyer clear for him, then marches forward with heroic pace and uplifted hand now l'll his head 10 the left, then with one veheDen gesture rights himself and deal: blows 'h' shakes his whole frame. His shoulders ar very low and very narrow, his arms are yer. long, and his figure, generally, is not at al i'm posing.
