The EDITRESS in the Editorial "Oh! the Belle-the Belle-the Belle, Still thro' thick and thin will sell, Parody on " Õh! this Love-" Editress. We are somewhat later than our accustomed hour, fair Secretary, so proceed we to business with all despatch. Secretary. Letters and two poems, from E. V., "Forget the Past," &c. Ed. Our fair correspondent is thanked, both for her contributions, and kind wishes. Her articles are always acceptable. Sec. A Poem, from E. H. B. Sec. A Tale, by AMELIA. Ed. The Lady need not fear such tales being too long; we hope frequently to hear from her. It shall have early insertion Sec. Lines, suggested by a Picture, &c., by W. B. Ed. This correspondent's wishes shall be attended to. Sec. Lines, from CAROLINE, Lynn Regis. Ed. The fault in the delay of her former poem does not rest with us-both shall appear. Sec. An article, entitled a Ballad, from AMELIA W. Ed. The prose part seems to form a Tale complete, without the Ballad, which only spoils the story, and tells it twice over. Will our fair correspondent reconsider this point, or allow us to curtail the article by omitting the verses? Perhaps our fair correspondent will give us an address where we can send her a private communication on the subject; the medium she proposes involves too much trouble, for reasons we will explain when permitted. Sec. Two Poems, from G., who requests in future "you will only review accepted articles." Ed. If any thing would make us not impartial it would be such an immodest request. Every article that comes before us, "good, bad, or indifferent," shall be "noted down." G. need not fear in the present instance our "review," both his poems being accepted; but in future we must request he will not write two different pieces on each side the paper, as it gives us the trouble to have one re-copied, or, as we have not unfrequently observed before, cancelling one to save this unnecessary work. Our correspondents should, as much as lies in their power, save our labours, and by so doing facilitate the insertion of their articles. Sec. "Henry Stanfield," a tale, by M. A. A. Ed. Not drawn with the colours of Stanfield the artist!-to whom, we presume, the said Henry is no relation. Declined. Sec. A packet of poetry, from S. S., Cheltenham. Ed. One of his articles has already appeared, though, as he will perceive, somewhat altered. Some of those now sent shall appear. Sec. Lines, by E. H. B. Ed. They shall have a place ere long in our "chaplet of sweet flowers." Sec. A Poem, &c., from K. W. M, Ed. We have already sent a private communication to this correspondent on the subject referred to. Sec. Letter, &c., from J. F., Camberwell. Ed. J. F. will find we have not been unmindful of him. Sec. "My Father's Old Hall," a poem, by M. C. R. Ed. Accepted. We will thank this correspondent, as well as all our other kind COUNTRY contributors, to pay attention to the change in the address of our letters, delays having occurred in former communications from want of this observance. Sec. Lines, "Oh! would I were a Child," by ANNE. Ed. Accepted. We dare say many of our readers, grown grey in this world's pilgrimage, will reiterate the wish. Sec. My Mother's Grave" Ed. Can we be blamed for severity when we reject such articles? Sec. A letter from a Correspondent, signing himself JOSEPH BULLEN, requesting in the name of himself and several fair subscribers, "that the faces of the Fashion may be somewhat less ugly than they have been of Ed. Declined, simply because we suspect 'tis not late." original. Sec. Two poems, signed M. Ed. We can only insert one, as both are written on the same half sheet of paper; we wish our correspondents would be more liberal in this article and not back their copy, as the printer's call it; in other words, not as we have just before remarked, write different articles on the same half-sheet. Sec. "Night," and other Stanzas, by AMELIA. Minstrel's Kindred Spirit," an article, without any signature. Ed. It is accepted, but we must add some initial to it. Sec. "Stanzas, to M. H." by ***. Ed. It shall appear. Modesty is ever a true indication of genius. Ed. A note from the authoress of some stanzas sent from BRIGHTON, complaining of their non-appearance, &c., and enclosing some others. Ed. If the fair writer had favoured us with an address we would have replied to her privately. The stanzas in question were inserted so far back as September last during our sojourn at Brighton: those now sent shall appear in due season. Sec. A packet of poems, by different hands. sent by J. S. B. Ed. With the exception of two, the "Broken Heart," and "My Far-off Home," which shall appear, they are the worst trash we ever perused-read a verse Secretary, and let our readers judge if we are too harsh in our opinion. Sec. (Reads.) Sec. (Reads.) "I lov'd-indeed I lov'd! And thought he lov'd again, He walk'd! yes! with another, I'll try my griefs to smother, I'll hate! yes, if I can, Tho' 'twill but prove in vain; No! if the one she lov'd proved false, She'll ne'er believe another more, Ed. This is not in OUR department; we have nothing to do, save with the literature of the "Belle ;" but we perfectly agree with our correspondent, that our belles, as far as the face goes, are very ill-faced ones. We trust the artists who furnish the figures will take the hint. Sec. Two poems, by FREDERICK H. Ed. They are in a very unmetrical rhythm, but we will do the best we can with them. Sec. Two prose pieces, by ROSABELLA. Ed. We have not time to peruse them now, but will do so carefully-and either insert or reject them ere many moons have waned." Sec." Lines to--," by HARRY WILDER. Ed. We regret we must say no! to HARRY's suit, at least, in the present instance. His former production shall appear ere long. Sec. "Lines," by J. D. S. Ed. We are happy to be able to inform J. D. S. our verdict is in his favour. Before we conclude the business of the evening we beg to remark, that the gentleman who receives communications for our work has our strict order to take in no letter or parcel, unless free of all expense, the porterages of several country parcels having of late amounted to no inconsiderable sum. We particularly allude to MUSIC sent for review; and beg to inform a MANCHESTER correspondent, that his quadrilles ought to remain unnoticed on this account. Surely, works for review, which can be of no advantage to any but the author, might be franked to our hands! To our known and regular contributors, who favour us with PROSE articles, the above remarks are not intended to apply, as we are aware in many instances the porterage of a parcel sent from the country cannot be defrayed till it reaches its destination; Fair Secretary a kind GOOD NIGHT.
