Miss B-ns-n

Lately arrived from Liverpool is this fair dame, she is about twenty, middle sized, with sandy colour hair, and fine blue eyes, that are delicious; her complexion is delicate and fair, but we cannot refrain saying, she has a piece of the termagant about her, which, however, she qualifies with a whimsicality of humour that renders it supportable. She has been in training some time for the stage, and we think would succeed in low comedy. Mr. Le M——h has got her in tow; but she aims at making her first appearance upon a winter theatre, where he has no great influence. Many of her customers are of the dramatic turn, and she spouts and kisses equal to any Thais in her line. She has a natural aversion to being humbugged, having adopted an old adage, “That a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” However, she is of opinion, that a regular attack in her bush-fighting way is worth two goldfinches, and he must be a Rara Avis indeed, who can prevail upon her to take less.
