A FRIENDLY WARNING.

To the Editor. Sir,—After so ma 113* years in harness, I thought you would have steered clear of personalities. All tlie female poition of the Bay is up in arms; every individual woman swears that you mean Mrs Brown, in '• Experiences of a Visitor," lor her. Those, whose names don't hegiii with B sny that you did not like to corns too near the mark, and those whose mines do begin with 15! Oh, I'm so sorry for yonr poor fatherless children ! They have stuekjup two or three, wanting to know if they were agents for tho AkaßoA Mail, and the expression of their eyes !—I still shudder when I think of it. Nothing will umUc them believe tli.it.Le Bon's wan not meant ; the very inconsistencies prove if. The thousand inhabitants, the four churches, and the lovely little town are mere nothings when the inhabitants are so well ilesc.rilie.fi. Should you get this in' time, and he saved from your impending fate, take warning, and, even at the expense of truth, don't he so personal again.—Yours, etc., INCONSISTENT./ [We are a'liitle in doubt whether' ou: correspondent is satirical or not ; if not, we are sorry for the people of Le Bon's, and if in this instance they do not adorn a tale, they at least point a moral. Th*j Experiences of a Visitor was written some, hundreds of miles awny, and its author is unaware of the existence of the important centre, whence our correspondent writes. ED, A.M]
