TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Editors feel very much flattered by the acquisition of numerous Correspodents many of whose contributions are original. And they presume to hope that their Subscribers. and Friends will co-operate with them in producing a Pamphlet wholly original.

"T. G." "J. D." "Qæstor." "Veritas," and "Non-Ædipus," are under consideration.

We highly approve of the lines by E. A, Kendall, Esq. and we hope for a continuance of his favours.
