TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



However just the remarks sent us Ly " A SniP-r!L"lLDr.u"may be, thry 

 would have the appearance of personality on the part of the Editor, \\\vi 

 never, but by inadvertency, suffers any thing that can be considered acri- 

 monious to appear in his pa^cs, and certainly not with.out the author's real 

 signature. When gentlemen subscribe their names, the Editor considers 

 them the best judges of the language it may be proper fur tlieiu to em- 

 ploy; but the case is otherwise when the Correspondent is anonymous. 



Mr. Carter's Communication respecting Machinery applicable to Steam- 

 Boats should have been sooner noticed. The arrangement which he ha'? 

 proposed is not new ; but as it is not generally known, we hoped to have 

 been able, before this time, to have spared a corner of one of our plates to 

 illustrate it. 



E. S. On Meteoric Stones;-— Mr. Spencer On the comparative Specific- 

 Gravity of the Human Budy and Sea Water; — and H. on ]\lctallic Salts, are 

 deferred for want of room. They shall appeiir in our next Number.
