NOTICE TO OUR READERS. 



IN consequence of a large quantity of valuable matter with which we 

 are enabled to furnish our readers this month, it has been necessary to 

 omit our leading Political Article and the Theatrical Comments; 

 but, as the Houses of Legislature are prorogued and the Opera 'and 

 Theatres have closed their doors for a few months, little remained 

 for us to say on those topics, unless it had been to show the inefficiency 

 of the last session of parliament. In the ensuing month it is our in- 

 tention to take a view of French and Spanish affairs, more especially 

 regarding the present disturbances of Spain. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



WE have to apologize to " Caledonius " for omitting to notice his kind com- 

 munication personally, as requested ; unavoidale engagements prevented our 

 replying till it was too late. He will oblige us by putting us in possession of 

 the papers, and may rely on our integrity in making use of them if approved. 

 An early answer is desirable. 



" E. S. D. V letter has been received and will be answered forthwith, it is 

 hoped satisfactorily. 



Mr. Reid of Glasgow is informed that the " Monthly Magazine " has come 

 into new hands since the last quarter, and that the present editor has no 

 means of ascertaining what has become of the books sent for review and 

 not used. Complaints of books and manuscripts lost have come from other 

 quarters. 



Several papers are under consideration, and many that should have ap- 

 peared in the present number have been necessarily deferred till the next.
