TO SUBSCRIBERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

"The King's Stag, a Dorsetshire Tradition,” in our next.

As Beards are becoming fashionable, we shall endeavour to pay our respects to them at an early period.

We never liked "Rich Relations ;" and our clever friend has not been able, with all his talent, to effect a change in our feelings.

"Good sort of Men, and Good Fellows," very often prove extremely disagreeable animals-to ladies as well as to gentlemen; and we feel no desire to cultivate a more intimate acquaintance with those to whom our ingenious and respected correspondent has offered to introduce us.

We long for some farther poetical intercourse with our fair young friend, “Ozama." To allegories, either in prose or verse, we have an extreme dislike. Happiness," is very promising; but even if greatly superior in merit, its length would preclude insertion in LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. If the writer-a youth, we suspect-would turn his attention to shorter pieces, we should readily pay them every attention.

" PHILO " seems to have derived little advantage from his inspiration of the seabreezes at Brighton.

"A Ballad Romance," by our kind correspondent, "MRS. CORNWELL BARON WILSON," shall appear next month.

The request of Miss

the fair author of "Woman's Hate," &c., shall be

complied with.

There is great merit in "Thoughts on Dinner Parties, and Hints to Diners-out;" but the paper is much too long for the subject; and some of its points are not such as would insure it a favourable reception amongst the readers of LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. It is the besetting sin of several of our gentlemen correspondents, that they frequently forget they are writing for ladies. If agreeable, however, we should be glad to see the proposed Essay on Routs.”
