ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
The demands upon us of this description are so numerous, and our means af answering them 
so scanty, that-we have even doubled whether it would not be the fairest way to stop payment, 
and with a stroke of the pen acknowledge ourselves bankrupt in space, at once. Hven.an 
enumeration of the favours we have received during the present month (and into by far the 
greater part of which, we have not been able to look beyond the title or the signature), would fill 
up more than a page. Several of these are from hands which must command respect, what+ 
ever were the subject; others upon subjects which, from their very tendency, entitle them to no 
less attention. 
Among those which we have been able to look into, there are not a few (in verse and in prose) 
which ought to have appeared in the present’ Nwmber ; and which would so have appeared, if 
the space they should have occupied had not already been filled up before they came to hand. 
We are conscious, that, with respect to some of these, this apology will, at first sight, appear 
angracious ; because they did in fact arrive at what, under ordinary circumstances, would have 
been considered as good time. But we had double work to. perform this month, in the attempt 
to get ready, at the same time, both the current Number, and the Supplement for the preceding 
‘Volume. And it may not be improper to acknowledge, that the task has fallen so much the 
heavier upon the present Editor, from the circumstance of his being, as yet, but green in his 
office, and from-his anxiety to reform whatever appeared to him’ capable of improvement, in the 
plan and execution, both of the supplementary and the regular monthly numbers : for the full 
accomplishment of which, horever, he is perfectly aware that there stél remains much to be 
done. 
This double labour, however, obliged us to put the correspondence part of our Magazine to 
press much earlier than usual: which is the only, and the true, excuse we have to offer for the 
upparent neglect of so many valuable communications. - r 
Some of those communications which had the names and addresses of the contributors, were 
accompanied with letters requesting personal answers ; and to those we feel it particularly pain- 
ful to be enabled merely to substitute this general and public apology. 
7e entreat such correspondents, however, to believe, that the omission has arisen, not from. 
any want of respect, but from the circumstance of there being but four and twenty hours in 
the day; a much larger portion of which than is generally supposed canbe devoted to manual 
and intellectual exertion, has been engrossed by attentions to editorial duties that were absolutely 
indispensable. ; Sibi 
Among those to whom this apology is particularly due, are the authors of several communica- 
lions, with signalures affixed that give weight and authority to the facts and opinions stated, 
on the subject of Macadamizing the streets of. the’ metropolis. ds we particularly invited 
correspondence upon this subject, we should-not-\(but for the circumstances above stated) have 
delayed the immediate insertion of such of them as came first to hand. They will, however, 
appear in our next and ensuing Numbers :. not all of them at'once; indeed; for that the regui- 
site attention to variety forbids ; but with no other preference but that which common justice 
‘requires, to the claims of priority in the dates of transmission and arrival. — :
