London, January 19. We hear that there is lately arrived in
London, from the Labrador coast, an Esquimaux woman with her
child, the first that ever was in Europe. She has been
dressed in our habit, and behaves with propriety. It is
said she has been to the theatres, and after her first
astonishment, and finding the whole was fictitious, she
entered into the spirit of the place, and could not be
distinguished from any other common spectators, but by the
peculiar violence of her laughing. She calls it the joking-
house, and thinks tragedy has no business there. The
character that delighted her most was that of Mongo in the
Padlock.
