The comparison of a fashionable lady to the " MIRACULOUS HEN," as described in the song, is droli. We wish there was not a serious objection to its insertion in the E. M. We can assure C. H. S. that we have taken as much time in looking for his tale as would have served us to have written one of a tolerable ugth. We must, therefore, conclude, that it never came to hand; for had we been in possession of it for the period he speaks of, we should unquestionably have either inserted or acknowledged it, perhaps hoth. We shall certainly take speedy notice of Planquats' Spanish Granimar. The circumstances of the times have rendered the attainment of that language an object highly interesting. We are afraid that BUONAPARTE is too far gone to be rhymed nito reason: however, the verses addressed to him are under consideration. The warm allusion to SNOW shall be inserted. The Vision of the Bishop of St. Andero; the poem signed Billy Twigg; and a number of other poetical articles, are received. To the judgment of our friend H. W. P. (who, by the bye, writes a most beautiful hand) we think we may appeal, whether the FROLIC, if it can be so termed, of those juvenile cits, who were so fond of being reckoned young men of spirit," is a fit subject for a magazine. In our opinions, it is not. "That kind of wit is out of date," in the first instance; and therefore we, secondly, would most seriously recommend them to "Stick to the rule of three, and mind their trades." We shall be very happy to oblige H. G. if we possibly can. We are extremely sorry that we have offended our esteemed friend POSTHUMUS, by sculking behind his title, which we certainly had no title to do: but we considered the appellation which he assumed, like a broad blazoned shield, prepared to quarter many fanci ful and chimerical objects, and extending its arms to meet supporters. We are not fond of enher interfering with the tities of papers, of books, or of booksellers, and therefore shall be more cautious in future. We cannot stop the current of our ink, till we have made another apology to the same author, for having withheld the long extract from the Lady's Travels into Spam." This work, we must observe, so far from being scarce, is to be found in almost every book-broker's shop; consequently we did not think that it had sufficient curiosity to attract, or novelty to amuse our readers. The observations of Expostrus on the theory of comets shall be inserted in our next. ERRATA. Vol. LIII. p. 337, co!. 1, l. 37, for futher's mother, read father and mother. Ibidem, l. 51, for Sir W.
