the same class of places in our own 
country. With this view, I have been 
at the trouble of extracting from a 
work, published since last March, under 
the ijnmediate authority of the Frei ch 
government, an exact list of all the cities, 
&c. in France, whose population is not 
less than 20,000, and which I have 
transmitted to you for insertion in the 
Monthly Magazine, if you think it will 
not tend to the exclusion of more valuable 
matter.

To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine,. 
SIR, 
NE naturuilly looks for correct Ian** 
guage and euphony from the pulpit 
of the established church ; yet there seems 
to be a new species of pronunciation 
lately introduced by some ingenious di¬ 
vines ; a sample of whicli I shall give 
from the mouth of one of them, delivered, 
vivh voce, last Sunday; 
Old way.

Now, Mr. Editor, I should be glad to 
know, from atiy one of these learneq 
gentlemen, what authorizes so wide a 
difference from tlie usual pronunciation 
of the above, and many more words. 
Is it pedantry, ignorance, affectation^ 
or studious singularity.

To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine, 
SIR, 
ILL any of your readers have the 
kindness fb inform me wdiether or 
not the treasurers of our public charitable 
institutions, the London hospitals in 
particular, receive any emolument for 
the discharge of their duties, and what 
are the necessary qualifications for hold¬ 
ing such appointments? 
If it be a situation of emolument, in¬ 
stead of being bestowed on the wealthy 
and undeserving, why should it not he 
filled by the officers whose gratuitous la¬ 
bours have upheld and supported the 
institution ; the superannuated physicians 
and surgeons, for example, without w |}ose 
exertions, all such establishments would 
be worise than useless? 
JtrSTITIA. 
To ihe Editor of the Monthly Magazine, 
SIR, 
SHOULD bp extremely obliged to 
you, to insert the following queie in 
your Monthly Magazine.—Is there any 
method of obliterating the marks made 
in the flesh by iattozoing with Indian 
ink. C. D.
