THE 3D CITY OF LONDON RIFLE VOLUNTEER
CORPS,—A correspondent requests us to contradict a state-
ment which appeared in our impression of yesterday, that
this regiment was commanded at Harwich, on the 6th inst.,
by Captain Brett. The battalion was under the command
of Major Richards.
A WARNING
TO UNCLE ABE."—In the vici-
nity of Washington, atter the Confederate raid, the follow-
ing brief note was found tacked to a tree Near Wash-
ington, July 12.—NOW, Uncle Abe, you had better be
quiet the balance of your administration. We only came
near your town this time just to show you what we couid
do:; but, if you go in your mad career, we will come again
soon, and then you had better stand from under.—Yours
respectfully, Tier ,WOnsT REBEL You EVER SAW.-55111

MRS. YELVERTON AND HER LITERARY EMPLOY-
MENT.—The following letter is addressed by the
lion. Mrs Yelverton to the editor of the Aberdeen Free
19."" Sir,—A most erroneous statement, copied I be-
. cave from your journal, is now going the round of the press,
and ,'s it is calculated to do me some injury, I hope you will
kindly a!low me to correct it through your medium. The
facts are simply these—One of myjunior counsel having in
his possession a short manuscript story of mine called
' Yarns from a Yacht,' sold it for the sum of ten pounds.
The publisher changed the title to Tales of the Squares,'
thought what a yacht had to do wah the squares I am at a
loss to explain, My counsel subsequently informed me
that the purchaser would be glad to make an arrangement
with me to write similar tales for a publication he was
bringing out, and the remuneration was to be £3OO a year.
I agreed to this, being wishful to maintain myself in inde-
pendence by any pen or brush. I think it will be easily
understood that during six years' litigation for the main-
tenance of my honourable status, all my own means, and
whatever could be afforded by my relatives and friends,
have been expended. Up to the present time I have had
no leisure to begin writing these stories, and consequently
have not receic°cl any
account is not correc4 as the want of fortune appears to
in the present unsettled
have been my greatest sin,
remuneration. I really regret your
state of the marriage law fortune m.b ht yet
where love had been despised, and a husbanc:win her way
