P TO THE EDITOR OF THE REITISFI PRESS. Bra-e-I shall be happy, through the medium of your Piper, to cite the following defence of Mr. Braham's talents against the unjust and illiberal attack, published in the last number of The M00t,44. Mirror. In my next I will notice the attack of Mr. C—, the Timer-serving Poet, and will present to the public a few anecdotes, which will shew how far that spotters charaaer is sincere in his canons 'of furious morality. A //ILIUM Or tdINIT; BRAN AM. Cmnine criticism, like justice, while she holds the sward in one hand, ever suspends the balance from the other. She grasps the blade of wholesome pilaishment, not the dagger''M flit assassin, or the scalping knife of the strap Indian. Which of these instruments has the Critic used in his malicious and illiberal striau•es on Mr. Braham, in the last number of The Slooibio Mirror!" It is a degrading retivaion upon oor nature, that 'wry will follow at the heels of merit, just like a shadow, always dark, and going on the ground. Mr. BrahArn has ever been a favourite, and will continue to be so—such merit, and at the sonic time corduaed with so much reaped to the public, will ever insure to him its patronage and gratitude; for surely as well as :he rant should feel gtateful to the public for support, the public should els., feel gra'etul in return for those refined sensations, which make op some of the sweetest moments of Before we give the vr3rds of Tie M.rror. we would observe, how little must that Critic be feared, when we promote the circulation of his sentiments !

I feel that I am aridly speaking the troth when ,4 assort, that the very contrary of this is the huff. The cloth is of suc'a .8 tine and beautiful texture, tLat the onlyfault Br.ibacrs commits, is when he dles embruider it ! Br..ham's error is (SOLSCiII7I,I) too embellishine:a : of this he etas no occasion, for --- • - " Beauty is when Ina dorn'd, sok rn'd the meet." And a more completely beautthil voice, in all its parts. perhaps never was the lot of any human being before him. He may sometimes use artificial orna ments, in roag, as some of our celebrated beauties (while glowing with health) use it in complezios. . . d! &AIM uselessly 'decorates his bee soorgret " that reed, rnome7 with which he goes to inarket.".to use the elegant and tredesmanitke me taphor of this Critic without a heart, and without an ear, (iadeed, one minute the critic appears to me with.nif ears, and the neat with very long ones) ; when' Biaham uselessly decorated his fine natural voice, it may be compared to grafting the ton high polish as.d ornament of Dr. Darwin , on the mini pathos, fire, and feeling of dray. Bratiam possesses that rich gilt of nature, that ardor which nature only bestows on genius. Certainly he pus sesses sit; but it is not " a triumph over nature." It is rati.er a light which shows Datum to more ad vantage! Unturtuiately this Ciitie, as we see, arms that Mr. EtIC.ATLI fails in Handel's music.

That Mr. Kelly's taste and science should render him highly valued and respetted, is the only part of the Critic's effusion in which I accord ; but the ma licious innuendo of 'Stsloissi, Sir, there is shhie thing in this," 4.c. mast awaken the most indignant contempt. The friendship that subsists berween Mr. Kelly and Mr Brahma, and that independent and generous disposition which Braham has ever shewn in public (as well as in private) lite, will shield him from an imputation so degiading and unmanly. Having finished with quotations from this Critic, I will say a word ur two on criticism. There are some things in nature so palpable, that they want net the aid Si reasoning.'Things so ad dressed to our immediate feelings, that they cannot be mistaken.
