"TJ" not Wanted—Mr Elihu Burritt calculates that the use of the letter u in the final syllable of such words as " labour," " honour," " vigour," &c„ costs the English speaking peoples —if we take ink, pens, compositors' wages, and all other considerations, into account—not less than £IO,OOO annually! Elihu Burritt, Esq., as you are so careful, don't you think it was a great waste of your time to make such a worthless calculation? If you trouble us any more with such efforts at nonsense reforms, we shall really say, Elih' B'ritt,we can do without '• u.'V-" Court Journal." Barton makes 4,000,000 dole, worth of pianos a year.
