The Hamburg Beauty.--Who that ever visited the Continental Liverpool has not heard of the schone (lovely) Mariana, the fairest among ten thousand, at whose feet Princes and Nobles have sighed in vain, and who, though of lowly parentage, has refused the richest offers? She is an aubergiste, and her house, in the midst of a garden, is about two miles from the city. On the evening of our visit she was retiring to rest: but to gratify the strangers, she came down from her bower, and we ordered in champagne. She is a fine large woman, about five and twenty, of a fair complexion, with eyes beautifully expressive. In the room was a portrait of herself, and of many of her titled admirers, whose overtures she has hitherto rejected, and preserved an unsullied reputation. Her property is said to amount to 6000--a large sum on the Continent: and, of rings alone, she possesses 500. During the summer, the house was full from morning till night with young men, who go there to gaze at her.- She is very affable in her manners, and not at all spoiled by the attention which has been shown her.
