Anticipating a week of extreme flatness both in Polities and
Publication, we had made arrangements for devoting an extra portion of the present Number to Literary Advertisements. Our anticipation has been realized : the quit•tness of the week has hardly been broken by an event—save the echo front Birmingham ; and fewer New Books have been laid on our table than in any seven days for many months past. Still, we have not been able to insert all the Advertisements a hide crowded in upon us when our intentions were known; while, on the other hand. we have been obliged to omit various articles prepared for this Number, some of which will do as well in the next.
The scale on which we have described the great Birmingham Festival, renders it im- possible to devote more of this Number to Mtuic. The Letter of Weenie, on the Festival at Aberdeen. is therefore postponed.
Other Communications will be attended to, in the order or their importance and interest.
