TSOI* TH* »BT VOL10. 1TTGH CROWNED BONNETS— Concluded. Whatever Mr. Ohlschool’s private opinion may b«, he '.eels himself bound, at a well-bred cava lier. never to appear, in any case of controversy, in opp-witioii to the fairest part of creation.— If he cannot come forward as the advocate gf his countrywomen, the rules of chivalry imperatively forbid his taking part against them. In the pro- j ■ent instance, therefore, lie is compelled to main tain an inviolable silence in relation to the id led g «d servility of the American ladies to foreign fashions. Invention he knows them to possess, and that in a degree peculiarly eminent; for lie h is heard them unusually eloquent in words, and observed them inconceivably iertile, in argu ments to prove the propriety of following, in tins country, fashions in dress imported from abroad. Wnetlier it would be more dignified* indepen dent, and becoming in them to exercise their in vention m establishing domestic fashions, or in defending foreign ones, is a point on which, fur reasons already g.ven, it would be highly impro per in him to undertake to decide. Oi the existence, however, of lofty female head dresses in Europe, at a period greatly anterior to that of their appearance iti th.s country, Mr Old echool is happy in being able to furnish his cor respondent with conclusive testimony. With this view he begs leave to refer him to the Spec tator, vol. ii. No. 98, where, to use the technical language of the d.plornatic corps, he may see the subject discussed in extento. If Mr. Grumbleall be not too much seared in obstinacy to be acces. sible to argument, the perusal of that paper vdl convince him of his error, and free our corres pondent from his further rc|>roache'.. The ladies also may derive-from reading it some hints not altogether useless to them. In particular, they will learn from the sameness of motive, which, in all ages, has been supposed, however erroneous ly, to exercise an influence over the female mind. Tor the benefit of all concerned, Mr. Oldschooi thinks it best to publish it in the Port Folio. It fc as follows : —-Tanta ett quarendi cura decorie. Joy. Sat. vL So studiously their persons they adorn. There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress. Within my own memory, I Jiuve known it rise and fail above thirty degrees. About ten years ago it^ahot up to a very great height, insomuch that the female part of our spo. cies were much taller than the men.* The wo* men were of such an enormous stature, that “ we appeared as grasshoppers before them.” Atpre*. acnl the whole sex is in a manner dwarfed, and sunk, into a race of beauties that seems almost ano ther species. I remember se eral lad.es, who ■were once very near seven feet h.gh, that at pre sent want some inches of five. How they came to be thus curtailed I cannot learn ; whether the whole sex beat present under any penance which wi know nothing oQ or whether-they have cast their head-dresses in order to surprise us with •omething in that kind which shall be entirely new ; or whether some of the tallest of the sex , being too canning for the rest, have contrived this ‘method to nuke themselves appear sizeable, js still a secret; though 1 find most are of opinion, they are at present like trees new lopped and pruned, that will certainly sprout up and flourish xvith greater heads than before. For my own part, as I do not love to be insulted by women •who are taller than myself, I admire the sex much more in their' present humiliation, which has re duced them to their natural dimensions, than when they had extended their persons and length ened themselves out into formidable and g.gantic figures. I am not for adding to the beautiful edi fices of nature, nor fur raising any whimsical s(i perstructUre upon her plans ; I must therefore re peat it: that I am highly pleased with the coiffure now in fashion, and think it shows the good sense which at present very much reigns among the Valuable part of the sex. One may observe thkt women in ail ages have taicen more pains than men to adorn tha outside of their heads; and in deed 1 very much admire, that those female ar flhitec s, who raise such wonderful structures out of ribbands, lace, and wire, have not been recorded for the.r respective inventions. It is certain there have been as many orders in these kinds of building, as in those which have been made of marble. Sometimes they rise in the shape of a pyramid, sometimes like a tower, and some times like a steeple. In Juvenal’s time the build ing grew by several orders and storiee, as he has yt.'y humorously described it: Tot premit orciinibiu, tot adhuo eompagibii* altwit JE&ficai caput/ ^tndromacben a/ronte vide* bit / Pott minor ett r alium crtdm. •• Jot. 3at_vi. 501. With curls on curls they build their head be* fore, And mount it with a formidable tow’r; • A giantess she scams, but look behind, And then she dwindles to the pigmy kind. Datdut. But I do not remember in any part of my read* 9hg, that the head-dress aspired to so great an extravagance as in the fourteenth century: when !t was built up in a couple of cones or sp.res which stood so excessively high on each side of the bead, that a woman who Was but a pigmy without her head-dress, appeared Lke a Coilossus upon putting it on. Monsieur Peradin says, “ that these old fashioned (bntages rose an all above the head : that they were pointed lJce steeples, and had long loose pieces of crape fastened to the tops of them, which were curiously fringed, and bong down their backs ltkestr earners.” The women might possibly have carried this ®othic budding much higher bad not a famous monk, Thomas Connect* by name, attacked it with great acal and resolution. This holy man travelled from place to place to preach down this Monstrous eommode ; and succeeded so well in ft, that as the magicians sacrificed their books to the flames upon the preaching of an apostle, mis* my of the women threw down their head-dresses* in the middle of his sermon, and made a bonfire of them within sight of the pulpit. Me was so renowned, as well for the sanctity of iiis life as bis manner of preaching, that he had often a con gregation of twenty thousand people; hb inen placing themselves on one side of the pulpit, the women on tl* other, that appeared to (use the si tt is usually observed, that a good reign is the 1 only proper time for making of laws aginst the exorbitance of power; in the 8a?nc manner an excessive head-dress may be attacked the most eflecually when the fashion is aga.nst it. 1 do Ihesejiire recommend tins paper to uiy female rea ders by wav of prevention. I would desire the fair sex to consider how impossible it is for them to add any thing that •an be ornamental In what is already the master piece ol nature. The head ha* the most beauti ful appearance, as well as the highest station, in a human figure.—Mature baa la;u out all her art in beautifying the tlice ; she has Couched it with Vermillion ; planted in it a double row of ivory, nude i^liie seal of smiles anil blushes, lighted it up and enlivened it with the brightness of the eyes, hung it on each side with curious organs of sense, given it airs and graces that cannot be de scribed, and surrounded it with such a flowing shade of hair ns sets all its beauties in the most agreeable light. In short, she seems to have designed the head as the cupola to the most glo rious ot her works; a.id when wc load it with such a pile of supenuinerary ornaments, we de stroy tne symmetry of the human figure; and foolishly contrive to call olf the eye from greats real beauties, to childish gewgaws, rilbahdSj- and bone lace. WALTER SCOTT. F'rom “ Letters from Edinburgh,*1 hi the North American Ilevieu). I should think there was no man in this profane world so often asked after as Walter Scott, and no traveller ever lauds in sweet Edinburg without enquiring where he can be seen ? In a small, dar* room, where one of the courts of sessions is held, there is to be seen every morn ing in term time, sitting at a little table and keeping the records of the court, a stout, broad shouldered, brawdy and some what fleshy man—with light hair, light complexion, eyes between a blue and grey, thick nose, round fat face rattier sleepy expression, covered with a ragged black fov/n. His lame leg stuck under the ta lc, the other sprawling out in such a manner as no leg, lame or not lame, over ought to be. Such a man for sooth ! as one might swear, heaven had marked out I—as an honest good n&tured soul, though rather stupid withal—a most lojal subject, [lit to guzzle port and porter, pay taxes and drink. “ God save the King.” Not one poetic line or ray of genius ill his face, exeept^ very slight kindling of the eye, to redeem the immortal bust of the author of the Lay ol the last Minstrel fum the staring,thoughtless, besotted, multitude.— Mr. Scott is now about forty-five years old, descended from rather au obscure family in Lorland, and when young, lie says, that the old men used to take him upon their knees, call him little Watty, and tel! him border stories and legendary tales, while his brothers were gone to work ; a privi lege which his lameness gave him. Some ofthese philosophers, who are in the habit of making a “ moral” to their fables, may very possibly find out, that the world has gained another great poet, because Walter Scott was born with one leg shorter than the other. It may he so :—Walter Scolt was married some time since to a Guern sey lady, an illegitimate daughter of the late Duke of Devonshire with whom he was said to have received 100,0001. The lady was borne in Guernsey, and speaks villainous broken English. Among her virtues is that of unsparing fury against ail unfortunate wretches who criticise her husband's works : and it is said, that when the review of Marmion was published in the Edinburg Review, she was very near boxing the Editor’s ears at dinner, where she soon after happened to meet him. Mr. Scott has also some other bless £*> which rarely fall to the fortune of a £mt. • lie is the slicriTofa county, com mits to prison, and hangs with great spri nt and quite a vulgar dexterity : he is moreover clerk of the court before men tioned. These two situations give him 800 or 10001. a year : besides he had for Marmion 1000 guineas, 20U0 f,»r the Lady, and 3000 for Rokeby $ and he has also been the editor of several extensive work*: Though Mr. S. is exposed to a con stant throng of people with letters of in troduction, his houses of resort in Edin iiurj^aie nui very numerous, and he con fines himself chiefly to some of the choi cest of the ministerial party ; he is him self zealous to the last ditch for church and king. A disgust with its politics made him leave the Edinburg Review, in which he has written some pleasant arti cles. In hi* manner ho is very mild and agreeable, apparent!? without any vanity, and the only affectation he has consists in the effort he makes not to appear a poet. He has a great deal of humor, and his conversation is principally made up of an ecdotes : he is not, however, what they call either elegant or brilliant in company, but then he is cheerful and never obtru sive ; upon the whole, one of the last per sons you would suspect to be Walter Scott. Exchange of Tobacco for Women / Virginia, so called in honor of Eliza beth, the Virgin Queen of England, was the eldest sister among the British Ameri can Colonies : and she has e»*r felt the Ipridc, and claimed from her younger sis ters the full amount of respect and hom age, that belongs to seniority. The first effective settlement of this “ anfient domi nion” according to Burke, was in the year 1609 j—thirteen year* before the settle ment of FMymouth in New-Kngland. The emigrants came over to Virginia, not by [pairs, as the creatures went into the ark, |f»ut without wives and families : mere ad venturers in quest of wealth, who deter mined, as soon as their fortunes should be made, to retnrn to England. As this determination, carried into ef fect, might have been fatal to the Colony, Sir Edwin Handys, in order to attach the coloniats to the soil, and to prevent their return, advised the proprietors in England to semi them oVer .a Cargo of young wo men, and to exchange these necessaries of life for Tobacco. JThis prurient advice was followed : and, accordingly, in the l ?ear 1620, ninety Girls were sent to the Virginia planters at one time. A fi eight ot sixty more was sent next year. A spe cies ot commerce so highly advantageous, was not declined by the Planters. The love of woman, in this instance, complete ly triumphed over sordid avarice, inso much that files of gallant Virginians were to be seen, carrying down to the ship, with a hasty step, their bundles of tobac co : and, alter making the exchange, con ducting home their dear spouses ! At first, the piece of a wife was esti mated at an hundred and twenty pounds of tobacco : but us the 9ale of this precious commodity was rapid, the price soon rose to 150 pounds. Indeed it reflects no snnll degree of honor upon the generosity and gallantry of the Planters, that they should voluntarily give such prices for their wives ; especially when it is consi dered that kiug James of England, who was so bitter an enemy to smoking that with his own royal hand he wrote a book against it. had prohibited the Virginians from raising tobacco beyond the annual quantity of 10U pounds each. Under these circumstancas, the purchase of a wife must have cost a planter fifty per cent, more than his whole crap of tobacco for a single year. I It would seem that some of the plan I Jers were under the necessity of purchas : ing their wives on credit; anii, in order to j prevent evasions of payment, which otaer wise might likely have happened, especial ly if the found themselves cheated that he « price of a wife should have the pre cedence of all other debts in recovery and payment, because (say3 the assembly) of all kinds of merchandise, this was the inost desirable.*’ | The memory of such a remarkable piece of history as this, ought, we think, to be ! perpetuated by some public monument.— As wool is the staple of Britain, and the prune source of her wealth, it has been a custom, time out of mind, for the first Lord ot the Treasury to sit upon a wool * sac!;—and. with equal, it not greater pro priety, might the speaker of our Assembly be seated upon a sack ol i obacco——seeing this odoriferous plant has not only been the staple, of commerce in the “ ancient dominion,” but also the basis of popula tion. Petersburg Jint. From the London Courier June IS. •Astonishing Natural Phenomenon—On the 27th of August last, while the Majes tic, captain Hayes, was cruising off Bos ton, a strange figure was perceived in the eastern horizon, about two o’clock in the morning, which, as the sun rose, gradually become more distinguishable, and, at last, assumed the perlect appearance of a man, dressed in a short jacket and half boots with a staff in his hand, at the top of which was a colour hanging over his head marked with two lines, perpendicularly drawn at equal distances, and strongly re sembling the French flag. The'figure continued visible as long as the rays oPthe sun would permit it to be looked at_ On the twenty-eighth, the next day, the fi gure displayed itself in the Same posture, but rather broken. On the followin'* morning, it seemed entirely disjointed aud laded into shadow, until, as last, noth ing more could be seen than three marks on the sun’s disk. Captain Hayes, his of ficersj and about 200 of the crew* witness* ed the spectacle, both with the naked eye and through glasses. In supsrstitutipus times,such a phenomneon wouM have been construed into a providential warning or ominous taken ot some unexpected event; in ihia enlightened age, however, it may be easily accounted tor by the reflective power of the atmosphere, which is well Known to be wonderful. Most propably the figure represented was some one ashore, or on the deck of the Majestic.
