will form a new light to lighten the Irish, and will, I hope, be duly appreciated by the public. I have not returned Miledi's verses, because I am not aware of the error she mentions, and see no reason for the alteration; however, if she insists, I must be conformable.

"MY DEAR LORD: I avize you that the Reading Association have received numbers of English publications, which you may like to see, and as you are a member, should avail yourself of early. I have just returned my share before its time, having kept the books one day instead of five, which latter is the utmost allowance. The rules obliged me to forward it to a Monsieur G-, as next in rotation. If you have any thing for England, a gentleman with some law papers of mine returns there to-morrow (Thursday) and would be happy to convey any thing for you. Ever yours, and truly,
"P. S. I request you to present my compliments to Lady Blessington, Miss Power, and Comte D'Orsay."
