Lady Hjess'ngloii was a marveluus lieaaiy; kings and nobles were at her eet. In Italy iliev called her La L)i\e? he goddess. She was voluptuous, with a reck thai hat on her shouldei* like the nost charming Greek models. She had a vouilerfully beautiful hand, and an eye that siiea il smiled captivated all beholders, icis whs a far more intellectual style ol Jeauty tlian that of tho Duchess of Sutherand. The present Duchess of Wellington when Lola saw her, Marchioness of Doiirn) vns an admirably beautiful woman, with ittlu intellect or animation. She was a fine nece of sculpture, and as cold as a piece ol tculplure. The most famously beautiful family in England was the great Sheridan family There woro two sous, both, said l.ola, known o herself, wlio were considered the hand Lomesl inun of their day. There were tlnei laughters?Mrs. Norton, well known on his nide of the Atlantic tluougli her poetry tnd misfortune*; Lady Blackwood and La ly Seym our, the hitter of whom was the ^ueeit of Beauty at the famous Eglinton uurnament. These three were called tin .hree Graces of England. Speaking of French beantics, Lola fir>l >raised the Marquise du la < ratine, and rtf erwatds the Empress Eugenia. When join last saw Eugenia, alio (Eugenia) was rertainly one of the most vivacious, witty md sprightly women in Paris. All tin. h?itraits ill this country greatly exaggerate.! ter size, for Eugenia was really a small woman. J5t:r??r?r iu*r marriage vviili the Km ?erur, und when she was the belle i>f Mad id, she evinced a high admiration foi Louis (jolUclwtlk, the pianist, who, by (lie ivav, had carried off, unwillingly, lirtif n Million hearts from the United Slates. Ku renin caused him to he received into tin. nost aristocratic families in Madrid. Lola then passed on lo sketch the various hnraclerislics of the beauties of various ounlries, ami look occasion to hit Lord Droughuin (although we fancy wo havt teard (lie conceit before. The Constant! lopolitan ladies,) with whom corpulency was beauty, would, she said, have elicited Vom that polished gallant, the exclamation 'trhal quantity Lola decried cosmetics. She recommendid three things?temperance, exercise am] deanliness, as preservatives of beauty.

A well cultivated uind was that which gave not only elo juonce to tho tongue, but lustro to the eyes, rermiilion to the cheek, and lighted up the whole person as though the very body bought. Lola moralised much nnd well, ind, when in this vein, drew forth the rcarliest applause. The hoop question, liko inosl others, has wo sides to it. ' Tho ladies take the inside ? ? m y ?'

(ended with France and Etiglnnd has passed to Monarque, n French horse, and the American horses Prioress and Pry or luive been ingloriously beaten. We say iuglori( ousiy beaten, for we.believe that we hnd speed enough upon the Goodwood Cup track, on the SOiii July, to havu borne oU* ll?e prite, had our horses been biuught to the |>ost in proper condition. We say this On tho rtbtiprity of tbo English press itself, 1 and we point to their expressions, which ' are }dtnr>>t tlvoso of sympathy, that through . the deficiency of tlioso who brought our horses to the post, wo had no better chance to win. l>y reference to our special tele- i graphic report, which will ' ? round in the 19th page, it will be seen, that though our , Inures looked so fine to the eye that Prioress elicited an involuntary burst of admiration when she fi'st appeared, that as soon as they felt the strain of the contest, they holhed and lathered, and gave unmialakcahle evidences of being full of fat. This grossncss of condition may be attributed to several causes, but more particularly to the deficient judgment and want of discriinina lion on the part of their trainer. The rcputuliou of Palmer, to whom Mr. Ten Itrocck so unfortunately intrusted his stud, is rather that of a "feeder" than a trainer, and it has been the loading error of his life, to bring his horses too high in flesh to the post; indeed, it has been a feature in his career, that his horses have usttI ally been beaten in their pielituinary races of the season, an J have repealed their misfortunes, in this way, until they had condi tioned themselves by public running. As one of the evidences of this, it will be tecolleclcd by all who witnessed tho celobiaicd contest between Wagner, Grey Ka gle, and others, in 1839, that Mr. Palmer trained Hawk Eve for that taoc, and brought him to the post f.tt enough to show i at a lair. He was evidently until to run; but on his trainer's repeated assurances of his * lilrtess," ho was start-id, and the result was, that though a horse of ability and piovious exploit, he wuk distanced in the first i heat in 7 minutes 48 second*. So ?n after this (we believe in 1841) Mr. Palmer, either thiough want of reliance on hia own capacity, or growing doubt of bis ex peri, eiice on the part of owners of horses, disappeared from the Tutf, and was lost to public view for soiuo fouiteen or fifteen year*. This is llio person?this timid, deficient, and behind the age trainer,?into whose hand-, the ciedit of our Turf has becu unluckily intrusted. Mow could such a tn.tti as this, wedded a-> lie is to an ouj MMetn, and without stif- j fuieut active grasp of til ii 1 to coiiipU'liOltd i a new one, be expected to cope suoce-slullv j with the exigencies of u stimigo climate,! foreign feed, and a dilfeteiil style of race! There weie diilk'iillies enough before ii-, in our diniug experiment. to le.jtiire a ci ' parity and ail expeiienre ol the higher-land , most accompli-hed kind; and the dilllcul ; , ties which i?re-riiled themselves in this case | at tho outset, woio those which Palmer, of I nil men. was most unable to meet. The stimulating climate of England, never too hot nor cold, is peculiarly adapted to in - | creasing animal life, while the strung feed 1 of Euglish oats, and the pea, either of which j p are neatly up to the stieuglh of oiii coin, must have coaled their insides w ith fat,, which he had neither the knowledge nor the ^ courage to work olF. There is something to he said, alv>, in relation to Mr. Ilroeck in this matter, who, it will ho recollected, was absent fioin his horses for neatly fi?e mouths after his arrival in Kurojre. k hns been bis misfortune, either through waul of judgment or experience in racing. lo imagine that ihcie is not much difference iu the capacity of trainers, ( i and dial a horse's uieiil* ale paramount t>> i any deficiency on their pail. Hence Ids ! large losses at die coaiiiictU'CiUcnL of his I Tutf career. Ills subsequent success may , j he, in a great measure, attributed to die fuel of his having fallen in with the best trainer in Auieiicu? Mr. Pryor.

Cioonwoon, July 30, 18o7. t Missus Editors: A great dial of strength ; between tho Atnciican, French, and Kiig1 li-h horses, imparted an Additional ntlracI tion to tho Cup day. IVyor Itrnl l'riores* ! came to England with a vast reputation, >, while Floiin and Monarquo v.eio not tin II known to fame. The American* regarded . the success ol one of their horses with no ij little confidence; and it must he confessed, . I that hllhough 1'iyor and t'rioresx ware do - I J fcated, they were not <1 is;*meed. PryOrj lathered considerably on being strip|x?J. Prioress, also, looked formidable. It was reserved for France, however. to bear off the day. Monarque, w ho ran third for the cup 1 last year, winning it on tho present occn- I sion, after one of the most exciting finishes < ever witnessed. '1 lie English horses ui ide < no inglorious exhibition, and performed sufficiently well to sustain their high repu- i taliou, us our description will show. The 1 encounter was marked by a casualty, which t occurred last year for the Goodwood Stakes. < Gunho.it, while leading, fell at the turn into 1 the straight, and Arsenal, who was in his j wake, jumped upon him arid at,'hi tiled*? ! Fordham, however, managing to keep In. t ser' Gemma di Vergy and Kestrel were not so fortunate, both coming heavily to i the ground; hut their riders escaped any ' serious injuries. David Hughes was cart led ? into :e stand, and the Duke ol Richmond, ' wit: is usual kindness and urhanitv, was i instantly in attendance upon him. llughe- ' was only severely shaken. He was rentov- 1 ed to tho Chichester Infirmary, where he < received prompt medical assistance. It is impossible now to tell what might have been the result of the race, had no ac- ' cidenl happened. Tho general opinion ox prt-ssed was, thai the American horses, < which were ridden by ualivejockoys, iu striped jackets and starred caps, might ha e figured still more prominently, had they been intrusted to men as experienced and accomplished in their profession as English jockeys. Indeed, in Turf phraseology, Prioress looked all over tho winner at the di - i tance. Tho Fieuch people present were not a little giatilied by the success of Monarque, and tlm prize which they will cairy with thein t? Franco is a trophy worthy of possession. Although tho Cup was tho leading event in tho day's sport, y?-t there were other races of peculiar interest decided, and which g iro rise to some brisk specula . lion.
