SIR, | 
NHE letter from Mr. Cumberland re- 
specting “ Miulliner’s Apprentices” 
amounts to a direct char ge of cruelty 
*against two classes of female society, for 
having ill-treated a third class of their 
own sex! The accusation is certainly 
novel, and we are led to hope, for the ho- 
nour of the female world in general, that 
the statements have been considerably 
aggravated, 
Does Mr. Cumberland mean to assert, 
that women of fashion and of high rank 
are generally prone to the conduct he re- 
probates, or does he merely allude to par- 
ticular instances? The same question is 
likewise asked respecting the milliners, of 
whom he speaks in terms that, iftrue, cast 
a reflection upon the British Constitution, 
which does not recognize, and much less 
would sanction, “a bar bari ity that would 
disgrace a negro-driver.’ 
I trust, Sir, that you will readily admit 
these biviek observations, intended for the 
sole purpose of rescuing a large propor- 
tion of our fair countrywomen from that 
odium, which, we hope for the sake of hu- 
manity, attaches only to a few individuals,

SIR, 
N returning lately after a visit ae ses 
veral weeks, frora'the seat of a gen- 
tleman in the country, I found that” his 
select, though small ‘collection of books 
had fdrnishied my tablets with a. variety 
of netes and extracts, and that I hadalso 
inserted some miscellaneous articles of 
original information, communicated by 
different strangers whom I had the plea- 
sure of meeting at the hospitable mansion 
of my friend. Many of those notes re- 
late to antiquities: I send you a few, 
just as they occur in my pocket-book; 
and should vou esteem them worthy of a 
place in your interesting publication, 
others shall follow. Some are thrown into 
the form of.queries, and may furnish sub- 
jects for such of your ingenious readers, 
as are better supplied with books, and 
more at Jeisure to use them hint’
