€ While those who difseminate-principles that havea tendency to make 
mankind better fathers, brothers, and citizens, merit more from their 
country, than those who atchieve the most splendid victories,—those, on 
the other hand, who by their writings attempt to weaken the bands oF

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
THE observations of 4. Z.-are received. Asis also a /over of young Scots. 
The Editor regrets he chanced not to be able to answer itby the bearer ; and 
not knowing how to direct he can only request that he will take the trouble to 
cause callat any other time, when the answer will be at the Bee Office ready. 
The Editor agrees with F, C. in regard to the importance of the mea~ 
sures he recommends; but his experience in matters of that sort, makes 
him not so sanguine in his expectations as this benevolent writer. 
Amicus will see that his anxiety was unnecefsary. 
Thanks are due to Satirical for his ingenious observations. The dia- 
logue was more in use for conveying instruction about the beginning of 
-this century than the present. It is, perhaps, well laid aside,’as it necef- 
sarily leads to prolixity. Could this gensleman have taken the trouble 
to throw it into another form and abridge ic, the performance would have 
been more acceptable. 
The Editor is sorry he cannot indulge a constant reader. The verses 
are unfit for publication. 
The lines by 4..L. are received and under consideration. 
The memoirs of Sir William Bruce are thankfully received; farther ine 
formation will still be acceptable. 
A large packet containing many interesting communications from cor- 
“respondents in Ru{sia has been lately-receiveu, esalso another fiom Notth 
America, which will appear during the course of the ensuing winter. 
Many acknowledgements still deferred
